Banks that are for-profit companies add to the money supply (via loans) but don't 'create new money' in the same sense as mining Bitcoin.

Mining bitcoin is most similar to a central bank printing/issuing money (except it's issued to the person that can waste the most electricity or show proof of stake rather than being issued selectively by the central government).

Banks can add to the money supply by lending out money which has been saved in them by others, but there is nothing unique to fiat currencies about this, and the same can be done with Bitcoin or other crypto. I suspect you wouldn't say that 'banks can create new bitcoins without mining', but that's the same thing as saying 'banks can create new money without printing it'.
The problem is that Amazon likely has an incentive to keep fake reviews in that lots of positive fake reviews probably encourage buying. They may or may not be aware that they have this incentive, or they may believe that they don’t- but if fake positive reviews do encourage buying then they will find their way back to inferior content moderation.

Once you start looking you see this problem everywhere. Why is the Apple App Store absolutely crap? Why is the Google App Store even worse? Why is social media filled with astroturfing?

The problem isn’t just convincing fakes, the problem is also that the platforms have an alignment of incentive with the fakes. While removing fake reviews or fake outrage bait is a tractable problem, wanting to remove it is a harder problem- it just doesn’t make sense for platforms absent more competition.

Tl;dr:
Fakes/spam can prosper on platforms if they only harm the user and are helpful to the platform.

> Who has liability once you start using their solution?

Their FAQ just says "ask your insurance company" lol
The functionality is still there, but they've made it harder and harder to access. It used to be an obvious choice. Then it was buried in options, then deeper in options, and now I can't even find it any more. However, if you add the magical "?sk=h_chr" to your Facebook bookmark you'll get a chronological feed (at least until you click on the icon to go back to the top so refresh instead).

I'm sure they'll completely break it some day. They broke it briefly once already. Since I was working at Facebook at the time I filed a task on it. The response was the rudest I ever got in 3.5 years at the company. If it works, as long as it works, it's basically by accident (or because some front-end developer is resisting management's constant pressure to deprecate it).
And Comma, if you read their website, shows how Consumer Reports compared them to Tesla Autopilot as well as Nissan, Ford, and other car manufacturer's stock offering for what is essentially Adaptive Cruise Control. CR looked at features and safety together and Comma scored #1, so from Comma's perspective, they're doing better than what car manufacturers are currently selling, and they are certainly way more upfront than those manufacturers that you are a guinea pig.
I crash my car much less often than Nascar drivers. They must be terrible drivers.
Wow, that's discouraging. I thought the barrier to entry would mean better content across the board. But, I suppose that's the difference between a falsely erected barrier to make it seem more special and exclusive, and technical barriers to entry which filter out poor quality content naturally. If "anyone" can create content, most of it will be garbage, and the big names will get further amplified.
That's a serious limitation since many VMs in datacenters have block devices attached over network.
Hmm, doesn't that defeat the purpose of MFA?
Aside: fMRI is under quite the firestorm lately for use as a tool of mental processing. It's a great tool for head trauma or other medical diagnostics. But for interpreting the brain's activity, it's not what it's been billed as. The now classic issue is the 'Dead Salmon' experiments in 2009 out of Dartmouth. That paper was a lightening rod and the arguments are yet to die down; the field is in flux (pardon the pun).

1Password browser and Mac app work for me without the issues you mention, paying user since version 5. I'm on a late 2013 MacBook with Catalina. I had the beachball issue in Safari but it went way after I restarted once.

I tried LastPass but on the first day it didn't save a password I generated like 5 seconds earlier, and I stopped trying it immediately.
fwiw the opensource (and cncf incubator project) https://cloudcustodian.io can detect and remediate these modifications to embedded iam policies (across many resource types) in realtime that share beyond an organizations/accounts boundaries. its like access analyzer except its flexible enough to understand internal org distinctions (dev/prod separation) and allowed access to third parties.
They have a "Shop" button on their homepage that lets anyone buy their product for installation on their own car. I had a coworker purchase Comma.ai + a specific make/model solely for its Comma.ai compatibility last year. Average people are getting in on this, for the better or (likely) worse.

Can't Get You Out of My Head (2021)
They want to avoid thinking about non-engineering things like liability for as long as possible and focus on the engineering problem. It's a valid approach.

As for the "who has liability" question it's simple: the driver does. Or at least it's intended to be simple in the absence of lawyers twisting the wording around. Regular, non self driving cars have basic driving assists. For example, cruise control will happily ram your car into the back of another one. Adaptive cruise still has a chance of doing that, plus it has the additional risk of causing an accident by randomly slamming on the brakes for no reason at all. For all these failure modes the liability is understood to lie with the driver: it is up to them to be alert enough to override the automation when it malfunctions. However, if you do a long distance drive with and without cruise control you'll quickly admit that it has value, even with all the imperfections. Same for Comma.
Great feedback! I will update the docs accordingly.
The AUDI page you linked doesn't contain the words "liable" or "liability".
I'd argue there's no tradeoff there. Cyclic references are also avoidable (and should be avoided) in general in my experience. How to achieve that again requires a specific example, as there's no one-size-fits-all-solution. It's great that we got here actually, because it demonstrates how higher level constraints that seem so rigid and impenetrable actually stem from simpler design considerations like these that are often disregarded in the beginning.
I really like your approach. I will give it a try!
I love Linux and use it exclusively at home (there's a corporate macbook once a month)

The last time I booted from a rescue cd or similar would be early 2000s. I certainly wouldn't be able to "get stuff done" in windows, wouldn't know where to begin.
Tell you what, I’ll give you my moms phone number and you have her set up keypass remotely with only quick basic instructions. No? Because she was able to set up and run Lastpass fine.
I'd prefer “you'll need to buy about 50 more loot boxes, on average, to get that item” as wording. Bonus if there's a question mark next to it that explains probability (specifically, why the gambler's fallacy is wrong – though not necessarily mentioning the fallacy).
I've come from yet another perspective as someone who once read a few SSC articles and found them lacking or outright bad, but this past week, reading more of them has changed my opinion. For sure I disagree with Scott on some fundamental points, but the balance he is able to bring and the nuance he is able to tease out, plus the consideration of ideas which on first glance lead to bad conclusions being shown that need not be the case.

I'm far from the typical political persuasion that one might consider to be interested in SSC (check my about text/comments on here) but I think I gain some perspective with the SSC articles I've read that goes beyond pure endless abstract philosophical rumination.

So from my point of view, Scott deserves at least one cheer, and probably more. His blog may not stand to the level of academic analysis, but in contrast to the quality of other blogs and especially Twitter style argumentation, it's quite a beacon and his writing style and intellectual charity something to emulate in online discourse.

You’ve used the word “your” a lot in order to try to show there is no “you”. How is “your memory module” distinct and different from “your self”? How is a “preference circuit” distinct and different from free will? How does this argument amount to any more than reductionist word semantics? What does “you” or “self” mean to you, what was the expectation that you’re trying to break down, and how is it different than the sum of your memories and preferences and functioning body parts? Does it matter that my memory module and preference circuit chose a different movie than yours did?
As an Erlang fan, I can definitely see myself falling into the NOT_FOUND trap.

I frequently miss immutable data when working in Python; in general I’m conflicted about languages that retrofit functional programming features, because immutability is such a huge benefit.
Okay, that's fair. But taken to its extreme, we sense everything through its interaction with other things. But obviously, things exist; not everything can be just a mathematical model.
How will this help them make a choice if they don’t also have access to the writings of other therapists they might consider?
> Some people _think_ of an atom as something you can reach out and touch, or grok in some deep sense distinct from performing specific experiments.

Right, with an atomic force microscope.

...but it almost sounds like you're suggesting that atoms and molecules are NOT something you could individually pick up with an AFM?
I have kept my PC version of database as master. All of my tablets mobiles access it in read only basis. This is to avoid the sync conflicts.
Can you export the data from keychain? I am a macos/ios user, but at one point i will probably move to something new or better. That's why im using lastpass (considering 1password or bitwarden now).
If I understand correctly, "staff-plus engineer" means "staff engineer or above".
I’ll try to explain what is going on. It’s not magic, and it’s not all conclusively beneficial.

Fructose acts on the pancreas to increase insulin, but converts to glycogen directly at first pass of the liver and gets stored there. The glucose from the rice then gets deposited faster to adipose tissue because of the insulin, which shows up as lower levels of blood glucose.

Fructose alone can cause hypoglycemia with this effect. Too much glycogen from fructose turns into non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. But glycogen feels great to the brain, which is why we drink HFCS. There are also some reasons why high blood glucose is bad, like decreased insulin sensitivity, and cell damage in sensitive tissues like the retina.

The clear-cut benefit of the apple is the insoluble fiber, which slows absorption and gets metabolized by colon bacteria to capric acid, giving satiety for hours afterward. It’s possible that what I describe with the fructose is also good, if the glycogen stores are depleted prior to eating, and the adipose tissue is sensitive enough to grehlin/GH to release fatty acids throughout the day, and of course, the person maintains the proper energy balance.

Energy balance always wins. Study after study tries to find a way around it, and it never works. Beyond basic macro and micro requirements, there’s very little effect of changing anything else. But those things might make you feel better, which makes energy balance goals easier to achieve.
You can make any code unintuitive by naming the variables wrong. Consider:

LAST_MATCHED_STATUS_CODE = 404
match status_code:
case LAST_MATCHED_STATUS_CODE:
print("HTTP Not Found")
I think the mindset is important (think the chapters from the SRE book), but as you imply, it's a problem you and your company WISH you had, it's the kind of focus on quality and uptime you WISH you had.

Therefore, while I think knowledge of SRE is important, at the same time you need to fear cargo cult thinking.

A (imo) worse trend I'm seeing is the focus on microservices. I'm in the Golang slack channel, and on a fairly regular basis a fairly inexperienced dev comes in and asks about microservices - implying they're solo developers that need to set up a microservices architecture. The cargo cult is strong, and people (in general) underestimate the amount of work involved in setting up a proper distributed system (microservices on kubernetes with SRE or otherwise). And people underestimate just how much software and engineers a company like Google has and maintains.

I mean my biggest software project(s) had at best three dozen engineers. Those + additional staff already filled a building. Someone decided that we should do microservices, but even then I thought it was overkill, it's amounts of traffic we WISH we had. And of course the split was wrong, it was a rough split on domains instead of something more solid (e.g. we had a separate 'address book' service, and an 'order history' service that was separate from the actual 'order' service. Which was a gateway to an older Java application, which itself was a gateway to an even older mainframe. I mean those two needed the attention, the microservices (which were written in Scala because otherwise they would be too boring) were just self-gratification.

I have no clue if they still have them. Part of me is thinking of going back there (I was working there as a contractor at the time).

this misses the core issue. a game like path of exile is completely playable for free - and they release new content quarterly and yearly (again, for free). a game like Raid Shadow Legends is not - you very rapidly hit a paywall and it would take years of free play to acquire power equivalent to spending $100.

the exploitative nature is pay to win, where youre simply playing a different game unless you spend money.
There is a “why” section of the README that explains the author’s perspective on this.

Also, not everything is trying to solve a problem. Sometimes, things are done just because they can be. That is traditionally part of the hacker spirit.
Yeah for being so uptight about just about everything, the officials seems quite relaxed about values slipping between the cracks due to lack of decimal places.

Like, total invoice value can only be specified with two decimal digits, typically in foreign currency. Yet we also have to specify per-line value in local currency, also with only two digits. And then the per-line values are used to calculate taxes and whatnot...
In some ways this was the case in Germany (and I'm sure other countries as well) until a few years ago. "Product placement", i.e. making sponsored content an integral part of a movie or article (as opposed to interrupting the media with ads or commercials) was illegal.

I believe at some time in the recent years, the rule got softened, so today, you're only required to show a rather useless warning before the movie. I have no idea why this was done, but I suspect studio pressure playing a role. Something like, the latest Bond movie will have sponsored content whether German government wants it or not, so the only choice is between allowing it or banning major blockbusters and pissing off a large part of the population.

I worked at a scientific institute. Every time we got some airtime, they asked the director to dress in a cleanroom suit. This man has never worked in a cleanroom, ever. But hey, it looks interesting for the layman. I've gotten extremely sceptical at whatever images the news is showing. They don't date nor give source for their material.
LogMeIn had (and probably still has) a reputation of putting existing features behind a paywall. I have no problem paying for a service if I like it, I was a paid subscriber before LogMeIn and for a year or two after the purchase. Slowly, prices started to rise, features for free users were being put behind a paywall. After many years of recommending LastPass to family and friends, I just couldn't anymore.

A few years ago I switched to Bitwarden after evaluating everything from 1Password, Dashlane, Keeper as well as free/open source applications like Keypass and Password Safe.

Why Bitwarden? It satisfied my need to be able to sync between a handful of devices (Windows desktop/laptop & Android) and replicated features that were previously available in LastPass. In the last three years that I have been a paid subscriber of Bitwarden, the price has not gone up (yet).
Well, it doesn't break because Linux is where I spend the lion's share of my time. So the Windows setup basically just stays almost unchanged (I'm quite careful with the software updates on Windows so that also helps).

Which means people best able to play people to increase the "this post is good" score of the AI will sway the election results. It's not enough to control them, but I'd imagine you can tip a close election by 10% or so.
Sure, of course. I'm talking within last decade.
Tales from the SaaS Graveyard: Junior Developer
I guess I'm referring to the theory of atoms as it was before QM came along. In the same way that newtonian mechanics is still useful even though its has been superceded by relativity.

If you're saying I 'have' to take QM along with my atoms, then you also have to take Relativity along with your QM, and at the moment they are irreconcilable. Until we have a 'theory of everything' its ok to use simpler models within boundaries

You are only looking at university graduates. This, by far, doesn't tell you the picture in the job market.

I have worked for the past 17 years with a lot of brilliant engineers, some of them didn't even have a university degree, some had from a crappy uni just because they needed a diploma for a job, and others never touched CS and graduated in Biology or Statistics. You can't measure who is at your level or not just by university graduation stats, it's completely biased to your definition of what's a software engineer at your level: someone who graduated from a university considered at the same level or better than yours for research. That's all your metric tells, not how many people per year in Poland can develop/engineer the same feature set or product as you do, with the same time. And that's nigh impossible to measure or even estimate, there's no data available for that estimation.
Looks like it does :

So then the Aether was real for a while and stopped being real 200 years ago?

If we discover a new model that makes better prediction than our current spacetime based model, just like relativity was to Newton's theory, will spacetime stop being real?

The article was clearly using "real" with the definition we attach to it in our everyday language, not in deep philosphical sense.

A scientific theory is a body of knowledge. The special use of the term seems like a false monocotomy.
This requires the person to be self-aware to a significant degree. That is a completely different skill from logical thinking.

Logical thinking is one tool for developing self-awareness but not a necessary one.

For myself, I’m bipolar. Self-awareness is critical to keeping myself grounded and processing extreme emotions safely. Many people have told me I am an expert at this and I still fall into this trap again and again. I just eventually realize it.

I know many smart people who are blind or willfully ignorant of their own assumptions. This includes a number of vocal advocates of theology, philosophy, and rationality.
This is why I wonder about the self-described "HN critics". If they really didn't like HN and wanted to harm it, it would be no trouble to hook a producer or editor at some news media firm on some ridiculous misinterpretation of any number of things said on HN on a regular basis. They could simultaneously leak something misleading to AOC and Josh Hawley to get both sides of the aisle in Congress wound up. Would NYT be frightened by actual SV connections?

It's probably tough to find a thorough review where someone put basically all their passwords in different password management tools and lived with them for long enough to compare them. Then again, people have undertaken more arduous tasks before.

For a while, I had the horrible practice of using the same username and very simple password everywhere. Eventually my "one true password" became slightly more complex, but I still had some bad habits. I eventually started letting Chrome save all my passwords except for, of course, my Google one.

I switched to LastPass (free) for a while. (My memory of this is a bit fuzzy.) At some point I wanted to switch to something less, eh... corporate? So I got BitWarden. I really like the password generator, and use it exclusively now. (There was a web site I used to use for this, but of course this is much more convenient.)

It was a bit rocky in the earlier days. Integration with the browser on Android could sometimes be a little shaky. It's still not perfect, but I don't have good comparisons there. I use Firefox on Android, Windows and Linux. It works really well on the desktop and mostly really well on Android, though with the browser it's unreliable if you rely on the Android app, so I install the Firefox Add-On for BitWarden, and that works reliably.

My spouse set up her own account, and we share some of our important passwords via a free organization. This is a great feature and gives us both some peace of mind if we were ever required to get into each other's accounts. We also paid the $10/year so she could see reports on her passwords, and get rid of breached, insecure and duplicate passwords. She has adapted readily to using the password manager though she mostly just uses it on the computer, not on the phone.

Overall we are very happy with it and I believe it's an excellent option. I cannot, however, compare it to 1Password.
