That’s a conclusion that does not follow from your premises. I’m sure it was tested. A lot. But here’s the thing: when you ship anything of sufficient complexity where the quantities involved are measured in millions, there’s no such thing as a “small problem” or “edge case”.

Apple will test and fix bugs they find, as much as humanly possible, within the constraints of execution. You don’t just decide to launch on a whim, it’s baked in 3 years previously, with tens of thousands of people working towards that one goal; with supply ramps for multiple other companies arranged and enabled; with well-known public launch dates that can realistically only give you a few days wiggle room. The fact that they do this at all is a breathtaking success and a testament to the business - this applies to any such at-scale business, not just Apple.

So they’ve covered 99.9% of all boot issues before launch. As the CEO, do you go ahead ? Or do you miss the launch date, possibly invite legal action from your supply chain or worse, a critical manufacturer folds because of cash flow, and do you risk the reputation and stock price hit of a company as large as Apple “swinging and missing” in the press ?

I think it’s pretty clear what the correct choice is, and even though 0.1% of those millions of devices still adds up to a sizable number of complaints, you’re still way ahead of the game. And you get to keep that well-oiled machine moving forwards rather than stalling.

Apple has priorities. They may not be your priorities. If they differ sufficiently, you should go elsewhere, and if sufficient people agree with you and do the same, Apple will realign its priorities. I wouldn’t hold your breath though.
Yes, that was the case about 500 million years ago. [0]
The climate and planet was very different back then, and it took a long time for the CO2 to go down that much and for life to cause this/adapt to the changes. The life back then wouldn't be very happy if it was transported to today's planet either.

In addition to the greenhouse effect, the location of the continents can also have a major influence on the climate due to the influence on ocean and air currents, the albedo, weathering speed of exposed rock in the tropics and different plant cover at different latitudes etc, thus it is hard draw good comparisons (only modelling is possible, and verification is hard).

To be fair, I do not believe we are capable of life extinction on Earth. We are also not able to make the conditions on this planet worse than it is on any other planet we can reach so far. But we can cause a mass extinction easily and make life for ourselves much much harder. Our situation is so optimized for the current conditions that changes will cause great pain. (Just look at the locations of cities, or how agriculture is run.) If we developed with the climate of 500 million years ago we would be just fine with that. The problem is the fast and large change.

PS: One more point: CO2 causes some cognitive issues in humans in concentrations above 1000 ppm, which often occurs in meeting rooms and means the windows need to be opened regularly. It's not bad, you just get a little tired and dumber... so you take a break and open the windows. Now imagine the CO2 concentration outside is 5000 ppm (currently at ~415 ppm). We did not evolve for this.

> I expect that mathematics will be rewritten to suit computing, rather than vice versa

I agree with this. I believe pure mathematics is suffering greatly because many mathematicians refuse to fully embrace the computational power of modern technology.

My belief is the age of pretty formulas is coming to an end, and that the future of mathematics will be it focuses more and more on computational aspects of the subject, and problem sets in pure math courses will be done using programs that are much more advanced than anything which exists today, and everyone will think nothing more of those programs than we do about calculators.

Apologies for the self plug, but this has been my vision with mathinspector[1]. I've been working very hard on that, and this is why I got so interested in your statement. Thank you for clarifying your thinking here. Makes sense to me, and you could be right

No no bitcoin mining and gold mining don’t have the same economics. Gold mining average costs are determined by the actual physical costs of mining. Marginal costs will rise in marginal mines if the gold price goes up. But that won’t affect average gold mining costs in existing mines.

But in bitcoin average costs have to work out to marginal costs. When more mining power enters mining gets harder to compensate and mining costs rise.

I agree that is an essential life skill, and I'd add that you have to judge the situation to know if that's appropriate.

Sometimes your verbal assailant is not playful, but emotionally unbalanced, and responding in-kind will only put them farther over the edge, maybe dangerously so. I've had good results by yelling back with equal volume, but neutral tone, saying things like "Good morning. How you doing today?" and received a befuddled, and much quieter "Oh, good morning."

Recover as much loss as possible in between natural and unavoidable disasters.
Yes, it sometimes takes a little extra effort with some specific lenders of course but very doable. Overall a SaaS business to most banks is a subscription business much like a local gym, martial arts studio, etc so it isn't a foreign business model like tech people think, it is a little harder to loan against those models without any track record however. So if you have no clients and no proof it works no one (even in tech banking) will debt finance you without going the investor/angel route.

If using collateral they ask a lot less questions of course, but they'll still want to see you have a real business. Anytime you work with banks you have to be prepared to show financial statements, subscriber growth, retention, attrition etc as they look at that to gauge risk.

I got my last consulting business financing through a local bank so I could have a line of credit to smooth out payroll/operational costs, because I had a problem in a prior business that failed where it was cash flow not revenue that forced us under. In that business we had plenty of receivables but not enough float to hold us through the long 30-60 day payment cycles of many clients at the time. So when I did a new consulting business (that was successful) I made sure to get a line of credit as quickly as possible from a local bank that then helped me smooth out operational costs/payroll while collecting my payments because no way factoring was going to work. In general the "best" rates in factoring are for physical shipped products, worst rates are for services since there is way more risk on services.
the video has greater than or equal to 10% of the comments containing negative sentiment (whether it be mildly or strongly negative), then I don't watch the video

This seems a rather arbitrary limiter of the content you're willing to expose yourself to. What makes you think a high negative sentiment percentage in comments indicates a video that will make you unhappy?

A specific video's commenter base is nothing like a representative sample, that could be used to make predictions.

If I decide to watch a video, I use youtube-dl.

Why? Youtube comments aren't put in your face. It's very easy to watch a video without watching the comments.

I simply do not go to pages that take my emotions for a spin. I have found that social media always makes me unhappy, ultimately.

It's your life and I won't attempt to tell you how you should live it, like many others here will.

As for me, I think being sad and even angry is part of the human experience, part of being in touch with reality, and I wouldn't sign up for a "keep you happy 100% of the time" machine.

In a sense, I'm serving a higher (less immediate) happiness.
I don’t think that’s a fair assessment. It’s not just about the cost, but about what science could be done. Much of the basic science has already been done by Venera, Mariner, Pioneer, and Magellan (Magellan providing a gravitational map of the entire surface of Venus). Here’s a list of the many missions to Venus [1]

So future missions not only need to justify costs, but actually overcome some pretty extraordinary engineering problems of doing science in such conditions.

If you look at Mars for instance, where conditions are placid by comparison, we still have failures. The Insight lander for instance failed to dig into the Martian surface due to underestimating the friction of the surface material.

So think of Mars as a learning tool for future space exploration.

I always see people referring to the energy consumption of bitcoin as though it’s strictly additive.

What I’d be interested to know is how it compares relative to energy costs for transacting with and securing fiat currencies.

Second, what people tend to ignore is that innovation doesn’t come in a vacuum - there are second, and third degree improvements triggered from it. In a world where bitcoin is $1million, it means the world has agreed on the benefits, and we will see innovations to address the tradeoffs that come from this. For example, we could see significant investment into renewable energy as a means to support the energy consumption of bitcoin.

Third, and this isn’t directed at you, just a general statement based on arguments I see on HN - cryptocurrency itself does not have high energy consumption.
Proof-of-work mining does. There are methods to support cryptocurrency that do not result in high energy consumption (Proof of Stake, DAGs). It’s wrong to generalize energy consumption issues to all cryptocurrencies.

Less strength, focus, reach, coordination, awareness, probably less responsible... anyway, a large table saw is one of the most dangerous power tools in a wood shop. There’s just no reason a 12 year old needs to assume that risk. We had unfettered use of band saws, drills, jig saws, sanders, and all kinds of equipment. You don’t need to run the table saw to learn woodworking.

I think about this as a parent. Letting your kid take risks is good. A jig saw can hurt! But that doesn’t mean a child should be taking mortal risk. A table saw can absolutely kill you.
At the end of the day NANO is useful for me. The node's API is sane. There are no big promises, hype, gotchas or surprises. It just does what it claims to do and nothing more. If that's not what you're looking for, that's fine. I'm not selling anything.

Price is not equal to value or utility. I won't argue with speculators or those who ascribe to SoV rationales. We have different expectations and that's fine.

Nano works for me as a permissionless, feeless medium of exchange.

I'm disappointed by the quality of this discussion. Most of the false assumptions could have been resolved with cursory research. Perhaps if some of these ideas were presented in the form of a question instead of an accusation, a better discussion would have ensued.

For a site that puts on airs about "intellectual curiosity" and tech literacy this is a bit disappointing.

When you get into the weeds and actually write software against cryptocurrency node APIs and look at what is actually possible, many of these comments will read as flippant dismissals at best.
I think this last point is super important! Focus on making the experience of your app crashing as not miserable as possible.

Try to eliminate as much as possible user loss of effort if your server crashes (if you have a long form a user needs to fill out, consider persisting the data and restoring it from local storage, so if the server is down and the user has to come back later to submit their data isn't lost).

If you can have a not awful experience when your small SaaS crashes, then it's probably okay to aim for 2-nines* of reliability instead of 5-nines. You're not Amazon as a small SaaS, it's okay to have a little bit of downtime now and again.

Your product is important, but it's also important to keep in mind your quality of life. Spending the time to polish the failure scenario, means you can be a little more tolerant of failure scenarios.

* maybe slightly more than 2-nines, but that's the general idea.

I can not state that the article is wrong, but I will provide one anecdote against the article. Virtually all of the bullying I have experienced and witnessed has occurred between bullies on a high social ladder and bullied on a low social ladder. I feel like there is a wide misconception that "most bullying occurs among peers", as the headline of this article claims. It's a very convenient idea, because it frees adults from a lot of responsibility. "Boys will be boys" and "they are just bullying each other", like it's no big deal, so adults, conveniently, don't have to do much about it. This kind of messaging is very harmful, because it enables the bullying to continue, often for years, and in many cases ending in death. Furthermore, it's not only harmful, it's (based on my experiences) false.
Mode is a better measure for movie ratings
The traditional movie review system uses 5 star rating method and the average rating is used to represent the movie. Since the Star ratings are distinct ie. 0.5, 1, ..., 4.5, 5 stars, Mode would be a better measure since the rating given by majority of people is a better representation than the average.
That's actually C avoiding a run time error which is the opposite of what you asked.

I would say they fired me after I gave notice. Saying I resigned would be inaccurate. What I would want them to say doesn't matter. Gebru wanted them to say they fired her. And she didn't give notice.

I would say I resigned before they could fire me if it was the other way around. Or resigned under duress if that's what happened. I know people who did. None of them said they were fired.

I think the trauma comes from the percieved unjustness of the firing. (Which is understandable, but it seems - based on the linked r/ML thread and comments - they have a rather warped sense of victimhood.)
Yeah. Tossing more subjective examples into the anecdote bucket: I certainly don't remember being bullied by people I thought of as peers in terms of the social ladder - but the people "higher up" on the social ladder sure loved to shit downhill on us.
I hung around the Polymarket discord channel for awhile and there were very strong believers in the pro Trump narrative. Polymarket whales (Twitter) showed people sinking tens of thousands of dollars in pro Trump bets.
I’ve been on them a couple of times, an am not sure I would prefer them over a walk on the tarmac.

These things differ from buses in that they are noisier (big engines that probably are old, too, because replacing them is expensive), smellier (I don’t remember whether windows open at all but they have fewer windows per m²), slower (their high center of gravity makes turning more difficult) and don’t give passengers a nice ride (again likely because of their high center of gravity).

Because they take more passengers than regular buses and passengers enter through relatively narrow entries loading passengers also takes longer than with a regular bus. If they used regular buses, the first bus could often already be unloading before the first of these departs.

When I used them, it was easily 15 minutes or so between entering one of these and the start of the ride. You could walk a mile on the tarmac in that time. Certainly in evenings outside Washington’s snowy winter and hot summer, I think I would rather walk.
Cloudron can backup to a variety of destinations including S3/GCS/Backblaze (https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#storage-providers). I guess it depends on what you mean by "service". If you mean running something for a million users, we are not the right product. Cloudron is meant to setup services for personal use and businesses. Our target audience has 10k users max.
This. Or you can use DDG to search, then copy links you like and use youtube-dl to just download the video.
Thank you. Couldn't agree more.

It seems programmers want errors to handle themselves. It's like they want errors to automagically hook themselves into the entire code base and do "the right thing". Or maybe in other words: programmers mistake errors-as-additional-data, with errors-as-automatic-runtime-behaviour.

Am I crazy?

I am not sure it is about mixing implementations, just that it crashes with one and not the other.

One implementation runs the destructor and then sets the pointer to null -> when code invoked by the destructor accesses the pointer everything still works.

The other implementation sets the pointer to null and then runs the destructor -> when code invoked by the destructor accesses the pointer it gets a null.
The article isn’t suggesting that peer-bullying is the only source, just that it’s more prevalent. So your experience is not invalidated by this study.

It is also not saying that adults are free from responsibility for addressing this. It is simply saying that existing anti-bullying programs are bound to be ineffective until they broaden their scope to include this category.
How did you get that from the article at all? The point of the article is to say that the current anti-bullying measures are inadequate because of a common structure of bullying which is not currently being addressed.

Your anecdote is what popular attempts at curbing bullying have been trying to address.

Nobody is saying to excuse it or free adults from responsibility.
