Youtube should remove whatever they want because they're a private company and it's not like they're the sole archiver of these videos. I've attached the committee hearing in question below [0].

What removing the video does do is make me not want to use YouTube for any serious kind of deep dive research, which frankly is not what I use it for anyways. I'm not really sure what the goal of YouTube is supposed to be actually, not really sure what the goal of most of FAANG is supposed to be, other than print maximal amounts of money. I think people might be a little less angry at them if they actually some stated mission to evaluate against.

T+0 implies same day not instant. I think you can enable all of those features with hours of delay instead of days.
Yes, but these ideas are related closely enough that someone deciding whether to use Trillian might want to decide which approach is appropriate for their problem?

A log tells you what happened. Or really, what events were successfully recorded, which might be different. But it's also common to want to know the result of a sequence of transactions on system state, and to be able to reconstruct that state at any point in time. (For example, there is a debate about when it makes sense to use Kafka as a database.)

So, someone deciding whether to use this might consider whether they just want to publish a tamper-evident log, or whether they are publishing something that looks more like a dataset with a temper-evident change history. A big factor in deciding that will be how large this dataset is likely to be and whether it's feasible and useful for the reader to download a complete copy of it, as we do with git repos.

You also have to consider the criteria for accepting events. This determines what data you need to query before accepting a transaction. The easy case is when all well-formed events are accepted, but for some problems, it makes sense to want more consistency. The reader might want to check consistency too.
Color me cynical, but I don't think most traders on a trading floor would particularly care about the opinion of the attorney who "services" their institutions lol. And if he doesn't work on the floor, then he hasn't seen the day-to-day and the culture in its natural state.
Doesn't look like that was the case.

The people they targeted borrowed liquidity and may have even short averaged up. To be honest, in the end, the net effect of this thing may be something similar to a pump and dump.

I feel bad for the retails that are really gonna take it on the chin. At the same time, I'm sticking to my guns. We have to let all the people who lose in this thing fail, or nothing will be learned. It will need to be painful for people to be more careful in the future.
I don't have a classic blackberry but the licensed model key Le. I love it :) qwerty for the win. I hope they find another licensee to do qwerty hardware keyboards for Android again.

I actually got hooked on qwerty phones by the Nokia e61. To date the most solid phone I owned. Not very user-friendly by today's standards but it did the job most of the time.
It blew my mind when they went from T+3 to T+2. I couldn't fathom why they would go about changing it, but not go to overnight settlement. Government, though.
Schizophrenia is 2nd highest risk factor for dying of Covid-19, after age
That's really great to see it used in Gatsby's documentation, I wasn't aware of that. And I like the way you say e.g. "Practical step-by-step guides to help you achieve a specific goal. Most useful when you're trying to get something done." under each heading, it hadn't occurred to me that it would be good to state that explicitly like that.

To complete the circle, https://divio.com is built in Gatsby (not the documentation though; that's in RST/Sphinx and published on readthedocs.com).
Bing has indicated it would be willing make government deals in exchange for eliminating the competition and being #1 in search.

If you can't get regulators to hit companies that you think are bad actors, you can get a bunch of Robinhood traders to do some street justice on their share prices.

EDIT: If there were real money to be made doing this, it would already be happening. But people being willing to throw around significant capital and probably lose it, just for the satisfaction of hurting someone else, is interesting.
Sorry to come at this late but there's discoverability-by-doing and I think it's clear from general user feedback that emacs doesn't have it.

I agree it's very well documented, and I assume your impulse upon reading the previous paragraph is to tell me there's a REPL. it's simply not casually approachable. sorry. ask someone who isn't drowning in koolaid!

Technical debt isn't the root or even the most common cause of software components not playing nice with each other.

In fact, this problem is probably more prevalent in greenfield over-engineered solutions than old legacy-ridden ones.

(And really much of what we call "technical debt" is just the scaffolding we put together over the years to make stuff be compatible.)

> 100000 * (8MiB reserved, 1..4KiB used stack) needs ~784MiB RAM.

Yeah so nothing really relevant, that's 1/20th of a relatively basic dev laptop's memory for 100k threads.

And of course that's an insane worst-case scenario of 8MB stacks, which the linux devs picked because they wanted to add a limit to the stack but didn't really care for having one, Windows uses 1MB stacks and macOS uses 512k off-main stacks, so you don't need anywhere near 8MB to get C-compatible stack sizes.
Robinhood knew A was the case when it did B. Given A, B can cause really bad things. Then it failed to properly communicate as the bad things started to happen. Now it's blaming A rather than its decision to do B or its failure to communicate.
I don’t think it’s about whether or not Trump is right or wrong about anything, but I think we are starting to see that when career politicians, Wall Street, and corporations disagree with someone, perhaps that is someone the citizenry should listen to and consider.

The agenda for listing a trade is have others copy one's trade to improve the odds.

Declaring success creates followers. Declaring failure removes followers. So those who fail are less likely to post their losses.
What I find odd is: when this thing is operational, passengers are supposed to ride through this "flip to land" maneuver?
Would it make sense for securities places to charge each other interest for unsettled trades? You’d make more profit then if you could settle your trades faster, making it more carrot than stick.

Something like the overnight rate banks charge each.
How long are the school days? How are the kids encouraged to get up and move around and also to connect with their peers?

My brother and his wife are teachers at a private school in the UK and they say the kids are struggling there. 8.30 to 4pm is a long day for a child to sit in front of a screen, without much freedom. Also a lot of what is fun about school for younger kids isn't the learning or even the activities, but the doing things together and figuring out things as a group - which is possible remotely but much harder. Esp for the under 10s.
That's more or less why I sometimes log in under X instead of Wayland - I can't run Fontforge under Wayland (not sure why and I don't have the bandwidth do dig deeper). Luckily, the machine behaves the same way.

Hello Scott,

I am a Full Stack Developer and recent graduate of Hack Reactor's Advanced Software Engineering Immersive Program. I have experience working with MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB and Apache Cassandra. I love learning new technologies and I have taken some introductory lessons in GO for fun but I am happy to learn any new language.

I am currently working on two React Native apps. One is a personal project focusing on polling and uses the Node.js crypto module. The other is a trip planning app that is being developed in stealth mode.

I am very interested in your Junior Engineer role and I believe I would be a great fit for this role.

I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my qualifications further with you.

best,
Jared Barron
Like how Squeak was written in Squeak. Cool!
Well, just check about Polio, which is allmost erradicated and what Antivaxxers think about it.

(or rather don't)
The AD - Assured Destruction - part works just fine. Irrational actors don't assemble world ending arsenals (after all if you think you should rush to your death, why not launch when you have 1, given that you're most likely in a "use it or lose it" situation).

Even in your cited example - the people who do this sort of thing attack those who can't fight back. They are never in any danger of being immediately shot dead after.

While yes suicide bombers exist, this is more a question of arms proliferation and control then an indictment of the ineffectiveness of MAD or the general strategic reality of nuclear weapons. And the situations under which non-state actors have them are still a policing rather then political concern - North Korea or Iran leaking a bomb to another entity that then detonates it is the surest possible way that both those states will be dismantled by NATO, since MAD does apply there: proof that you represent an uncontrolled risk of nuclear attack invites conventional or nuclear annihilation, regardless of the mechanism. Civilian casualties go out the window when you have already suffered some.
My guess would be that Australian regulators could consider it as Google trying to play a loophole around their rules, so Google could be forced to exit the Australian market altogether.

Though I, personally, doubt it will get to that. Either Google will come to a satisfactory solution that won't piss off the Australian regulators or pre-emptively exit the market
> When people invest, they’re placing their hopes and dreams for the future in our financial system. We can’t let them down.

This is probably generally true but that investment behavior is not what drove their clearinghouse failure. I wish they would quit it with the fluffy rhetoric. Why doesn’t Robinhood understand that we want straight answers from them.
Was that not just the market correcting itself? The stock was extremely over shorted, and the price rose to shake out the shorts. I think short squeezes need to be allowed to happen properly. If we don't want that, we would need to limit short selling.
Virufy – Trying to detect Covid by coughing at your phone
I think the point is, the effect of that sudden change was the screwing over of retail investors at the expense of funds and firms that weren't locked out. And that RH should have seen this coming if it were all "by the book". And how the hell can those fees go up so instantly?

If we're going to be all "free market" about how only the strong survive, RH should be eliminated.
A few non-fluff sentences:

"Consequential decisions in law enforcement, military and financial contexts are increasingly influenced by automated assessments spat out by proprietary predictive engines."

"These prediction engines have primed us to be receptive to the idea of the predictive brain. So too has the science of psychology itself, which has been concerned since its founding with the prediction and control of human beings. ‘All natural sciences aim at practical prediction and control, and in none of them is this more the case than in psychology today,"

"Advertising agencies would fund their own experiments by researchers such as Watson to test the laws of the consumer-machines that they targeted, rationalising their understandings of phenomena such as habitual product use, targeted messaging and brand loyalty."

" Simulmatics has become, in Lepore’s words:

the mission of nearly every corporation. Collect data. Write code: if/then/else. Detect patterns. Predict behaviour. Direct action. Encourage consumption. Influence elections. "

"Scientists might believe that they are simply building conceptual and mechanical tools for observation and understanding – the telescopes and microscopes of the neuroscientific age. But the tools of observation can be fastened all too easily to the end of a weapon and targeted at masses of people. If predictive systems began as weapons meant to make humans controllable in the field of war and in the market, that gives us extra reason to question those who wield such weapons now"

>" thinking about humans as predictive learning engines will encourage to consider our deterministic nature and have more compassion for eachother"

OK, let us consider that too. What would be the underlying mechanism of this? How would we be primed/conditioned into adopting this behavior? Examples? Proposed models/theories/etc?

Circle Medical (YC S15) Is Hiring Fullstack Engineers in Montreal
The U.K. like to big up/get behind their own. Relevancy on the world stage in anything is big over there, AstraZeneca (AZ) makes the U.K. relevant. Remember there’s also Brexit & having a “winning” vaccine produced by a U.K. company & university is clearly a huge deal.

In the EU AZ is under delivering doses at present[0], also they had that whole trial dosing mishap.

In the US AZ wasn’t as fast at delivering a vaccine as Pfizer & Moderna & AZ isn’t a US company, but Moderna & Pfizer are. So not really a shock that they get most of the buzz in the US.

Interestingly the US has ordered more AZ doses than any other vaccine & AZ is the most ordered/purchased vaccine worldwide[1].

It’s no surprise to me that countries are hyping up their own products and/or getting them approved first. As for the EU, they are certain to be sore given the lack of doses they’ve been able to acquire & their vaccination strategy in general.

It's not about finding applications, it's more about the ability to have multiple versions of the same package installed and used concurrently. Best you can have with FHS is something like /usr/bin/python3.8 vs /usr/bin/python3.9, and this requires package maintainers to manually support this. Most packages don't do this, so if you happen to need - just a random example - an ancient Firefox version installed separately, "traditional" solutions like rpm or dpkg won't really help you.

Plus, a different organization of the filesystem, where everything that belongs to a package is stored under the same base path, rather than being spread across the whole FS. I don't really remember GoboLinux ideas, but IIRC they had something about leveraging use of the filesystem as a part of package manager.
I would imagine that.

A functional language like Haskell would probably be easier to compile to hardware.

Why would that be optimal? Sounds like you'd just be replicating humans - who are pretty lousy and non-optimal even in cars designed specifically for them!
Yeah, but they all look terrible. Would you want some orange glowing Pioneer monstrosity in a 1960's 911?

Plus DIN is a mechanical standard from the mid-80's. Are 1960's Porsche's compatible with that standard?
Well apparently they’re looking into ways to catch the rocket with a landing arm looking platform. Really I think they need to get those engines to fire in any circumstance. But with N=2 it’s hard to know anything.
People also assume phone users only hold it vertically. Most popular apps don't even allow landscape orientation. They can't even cope with varied screen sizes and orientations. I've actually found bugs when I forced them to try via split screen view.
that also meaning that some emerging neo-Cro Magnon will do the other neo-Neanderthals/Denisovans/etc. (plug for Vorkosigan/Cetaganda - among my favorites :)
Is it just me that finds it kind of funny for this author to be criticizing others' command of English and clear communication so much?
Credit systems are absolutely created by the government if they involve the dollar (or other sovereign currency). There is not a bank in the modern world that lends money. Banks don't lend out existing assets.

I'm sure there are crypto systems that create this kind of credit, but "lending out your bitcoin to someone" is very different than how Banks create credit.

You're arguing against a strawman. "can" and "should" are different things.
But what about the trees, treeman79?

The problem is capitalism optimizes for profit, not life.
Yes. But this is a very basic example. When you have an async function defined with `await` statements in it and later on in the function you do a call to a `blocking` function you need to be aware that you have to run in the threadpool.

You don't always know that a function call is blocking, because you don't always know what is happening behind the scenes of that function and on what it depends.
They sure are!
Past, Present, and Future of React State Management
I remember when I was at an elite institution’s diversity training session and the facilitator asked people to stand up and say how they felt oppressed because of their diversity. An enormous man stood up and said that he felt that people thought he was stupid because he had a Southern accent. That was so clearly the “wrong” answer that even the facilitator laughed, until finding the black people and women she had been looking for.
SpaceX’s Starship Launches and Again Crashes in Test of Prototype
Looks like that number should be 1,000 and the trailing "1" points to a footnote:

"If possible, we’d like to provide an actionable piece of feedback to everyone who completes the Build Sprint and submits a YC application. But we’re not sure how long that will take, so we’re only committing to provide feedback on 1,000 applications for now to be safe."
Not me, but a compiler backend would perhaps have better “materials” for optimization this way. There is no reason for existing higher level code to not be transformable to this “microcode”
That's the irony, the hedge funds they were targeting, unless they were run by borderline imbeciles, increased their short bets. It's like WSB designed this attack never having heard of short averaging.

People will say that the hedge funds cheated somehow to come out whole, but the reality is that the attack was extremely poorly designed. (And that's being charitable and assuming that this was an attack and not simply an out and out pump and dump.)

Only a government can censor. A company is free to host whatever they like. You can host it elsewhere if you want. Sometimes elected officials say incredibly dangerous stuff. You remember Trump in start of COVID-19 crisis?
I've been helping on the project, it's lead by Chris Cummins and Hugh Leather.

Just a heads-up for folks, we haven't fully cleaned up and gotten ready for public attention yet, we are 90% there.

Once we are golden, we're going to write a note with a way to submit the results of your own agents, compare with baselines (random, actor-critic), etc.

And as others noticed, in it's current form we're focusing on code size and phase ordering, but we will be expanding over time to other optimization problems like runtime.
Indeed, there were two. Two objects broke off from the ship before impact, one just before the first swing of the pendulum and one just after.
Google being so good no one can replace them is good.

If Google abused that position so no one could replace them because they're no longer the best but still big, that's a problem. We're not there yet
The EU seems to keep bringing focus back onto the over-65 efficacy. The German government has said it shouldn’t be used on over-65s, Poland has now followed, and Macron has been out in the press regurgitating incorrect statistics he misread somewhere (saying it’s only 10% effective, rather than the correct stat being that the age group made up around 10% of test subjects).

Personally I think the UK approach is the way to go and that the EU being cautious might backfire. We know the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine is pretty safe and the UK has been giving it to over-65s quite happily. If it does turn out that it’s less effective, then we’ll still have gotten some efficacy across the vast majority of our population much quicker, and probably not added to the deaths. If it turns out that it’s just as effective as on everyone else, then the EU will have lost time yet again and have left their older population at risk for longer.
That would have way less PPI. I have 24" 4K display that already has less than 200 ppi. Thats why I am interested which 4k display would reach close to 300, if that wasn't just a typo.

Ask HN: Social Network for AI Agents
Hi, I got this thought of having a social network for trained AI agents but humans can view the networks and their messages. I am looking for this type of project basically for 2 reasons:
1. To mimic a event (change in CEO or other) and see how these agents behave
2. Learn machine learning

Do you think if it is a opensource project, can you contribute to it?
To be clear, I was mostly referring to low-or-zero-cost products mentioned previously like gmail, outlook or excel, or any random zero-cost piece of open source you can download on github. If you depend on that stuff then it is your problem, that's a signal that you won't pay the extra cost for stability. The businesses that can afford the extra stability are not using the consumer offering, they pay Google/Microsoft for a long term support contract. (And yes, Xorg, Wayland, GNOME, KDE, and all the other open source Linux desktops are all under the category of random free project on github)
Note that deaths are very lagging. It can be a couple months between being exposed to COVID and death, maybe even more as medical science has learned about treating COVID over time. It is reasonable to assume that everyone dieing today got COVID before there was a vaccine, though there have been a few deaths by now that could have been prevented if the first vaccines were not given to someone else (if that person who got it would have got COVID and died instead is not something we can answer)

Deaths will start to stop soon, COVID infections are already dropping in many countries, with vaccines being part of the reason (but only part - again we cannot know how much)
