For the more modern development of the idea of risk, check out Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk by Bernstein (ISBN: 978-0-471-29563-1):

* https://www.wiley.com/en-us/Against+the+Gods%3A+The+Remarkab...

> With the stock market breaking records almost daily, leaving longtime market analysts shaking their heads and revising their forecasts, a study of the concept of risk seems quite timely. Peter Bernstein has written a comprehensive history of man's efforts to understand risk and probability, beginning with early gamblers in ancient Greece, continuing through the 17th-century French mathematicians Pascal and Fermat and up to modern chaos theory. Along the way he demonstrates that understanding risk underlies everything from game theory to bridge-building to winemaking.

It's interesting, ~20% now seems to be the norm. (Not just for developer platforms.) 10% is pretty reasonable. I also used to work for a few years through upwork, sill when it was elance. I kind of remember that the rate was around 10%, maybe higher for smaller projects. Again, pretty reasonable.

A few years ago I've co-founded a platform for remote psych counselling and I remember my partner was pushing for a 30% commission. I told him that's how you motivate your users to try to get around you and not keep paying in the long run.
Yeah some people have done simulations to show the spread of particles with and without a mask. That's enough for me, I trust physics over correlational statistics.
I noticed this too only a few months ago! Although I live in the US. I chalked it up to a cold kitchen in the winter.

I wonder if it is an issue in the US too but Americans don’t leave their butter out as much as other countries.

To put it simply: ask people who have the Pebble. Most of them incorrectly believe it is an eInk screen, but it is a reflective LCD.

I also have the Metawatch. These are purely reflective, not transflective. They boast whopping 20:1 contrast ratios -- https://www.sharpsma.com/products?sharpCategory=Memory%20LCD... . Even at its best days (carta) eInk didn't reach that 15:1 https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E_Ink_Carta , and nowadays it's more like 10:1.
It's been years since I was on Upwork (started w/ Elance) and I felt similar frustrations. Then I signed up as a buyer, posted a job similar to the ones I was seeking, and analyzed the patterns of freelancer pitches and how the system was structured.

I started noticing missed opportunities. As a buyer, you only see the first few sentences of a proposal unless you hit the See More option. Most freelancers weren't maximizing this space. NOBODY used video. There was minimal personalization. And so on.

So I would make a personalized video for every pitch and reference it in the first sentence. Short, nothing with production or anything like that. Mostly I wanted the buyers to get a vibe for me. I'd do light research on the buyer and look at his/her feedback and reviews for other freelancers they've worked with, then I used that language to demonstrate that I had the same characteristics and skills they value the most.

This all increased my interest and close rate tremendously. I also learned which gigs to never bid on, which is a little art and a little science. You can tell by how the project descriptions are written which ones to avoid.

Correct, still about 500ms to get decent levels of separable reproducible grayscale. Claims of 10Hz like Dasung's A2 are often marketing interpretations of unstable 1-bit states. This is a limit of the physics of electrophoresis. To make it faster, they would have to abandon bistability. Some startups have gone that route, eg: ClearInk but they have not yet reached commercial scale.

Besides the obvious legal risks of this hands-off approach, I cannot imagine that this is efficient in any way. Do you really want your managers to deal with things such as pre-screenings and visa appplications themselves? Or are they simply outsourcing these tasks to agencies.

This reminds me of an episode of Ghost in the shell (the serie, season 2 episode 4).

from the description of the episode:

the pilot of the helicopter suffers a massive heart attack, and the Jigabachi begins to spin out of control. The on-board Artificial Intelligence gets the helicopter back under control, and the military officers running the drill decide to abort it out of concern for the safety of their troops. However, the AI aboard the Jigabachi refuses to acknowledge the order to return to its parent JMSDF aircraft carrier. Acting on the assumption that the chopper is under attack, the AI overrides the flight controls of other armed Jigabachi aircraft, an air tanker from the carrier, and several nearby military bases, ordering these units into a tight defence formation in the heart of the Niihama Refugee Residential District.

On linux there are a bunch of "laptop mode" configurations that can minimize the time the disk will be woken up to actually write out data. The price is that you'll lose the last N minutes of work on a hard crash. And it only works when you have enough RAM to avoid swapping and keep dirty pages in memory. And your workloads don't explicitly call fsync. But if setup correctly your drive will spend most of its time sleeping.
I don't feel any of that solves my main issue: that I would not want to work for someone who does not trust me. That does not seem like a good environment where I can be productive and work on things which benefit my employer. The privacy issues is not the only issue.

The only case I would accept something like this is if I was working at eg the NSA, a really high value target for state actors. Then I would get why nobody can be trusted.
You're forgetting one factor in this slide to locked-down engines: as a customer I prefer an integrated engine with a significant lower chance of failing so I will not have to work on it or pay someone to fix it.

Congratulations to the Nim development team for another solid release. I'm really enjoying working with Nim.
Of course! A REPL style interface hadn’t occurred to me. That totally makes sense.

I recognise the names of all the machines you mentioned from the Steven Levy Hackers book. I suppose it must have been much slower progress with no internet to read tutorials, no code to read and learn from, I guess only books.

I had some time on Mini-computers back in the 80s, I think it was an Olivetti, but there wasn’t much you could do. There was wordperfect and some game were you walked around from room to room, but it was all text based.

I didn’t get really into computers until around 2002. It was the web when I got interested in computing, but I was always interested to learn about the scene in previous decades.

Thank you for providing this information; you are correct; I will update the original post.
This is complete insanity to me. So now you're not only selling your knowledge and your time, but you're also selling your complete undivided attention with likely no changes to your paycheck. How do you employ someone and give them access to your company's systems but not give them the absolute minimum amount of trust? It makes no sense.
Sure, from a client perspective that makes sense, but it misled me a bit. I thought the DBMS was running the ML, a bit like an ML equivalent of a materialised view.

FWIW Wirth's Pascal does not have a writeln, only write and you are supposed to use a special EOL character to indicate end of line.

But yes it is meant to be special (like read) and also has its own special syntax for formatting. However this isn't anything weird as the compiler was already implementing all other standard procedures and functions as part of the language itself anyway - there isn't a distinction between 'language' and 'runtime library' like you'd see in C for example.
Compared to your average 8 bitter at the time the keyboard of the BBC was pretty good. It was also the only one that didn't fail after a couple of weeks of heavy use.
I'd agree that it is more centralized than I'd like, but it doesn't defeat the whole point. Gridcoin has a different purpose than most cryptocurrencies. It rewards science and is more decentralized than most coins that try similar goals [1]. I'd also note that the oracles have less direct power over the coin than you might think. See one of the comments I made about it earlier [2]

The alternative was previously flooding every project and downloading a massive gigabytes of data from the projects. It wasn't maintainable and a project left from the large amount of bandwidth it used up. As Gridcoin grew, it became a larger and larger issue. As well, some projects are now requiring tokens to access the stats (for GDPR reasons), so for some project, it became impossible to reward them without anything like this

> ...seeming to be a buzzword that tries to provide some technical legitimacy...

I'd also note that most things about Gridcoin usually doesn't use the term oracle (uses scrapers instead). I was using it here since I thought it would be a term more here were familiar with

I understand proprietary screws being anti-consumer but torque screws?

Every building site I have been on almost exclusively used torque screws and every hardware store sells torque screwdrivers in every size. I wish more manufacturers would use torque screws since the heads don't show the same kind of wear.

And yes manufacturers aren't building their devices with them being repairable as primary design goal. This is understandable and there always will be a trade off. Even devices that are designed to be relatively easy to repair like Lenovo ThinkPads or HP Pro/EliteBooks have these trade-offs depending on the form factor.
that's interesting, we actually have a real difficulty here because our buyers are either marketers or developers. As the problem we are trying to solve is shared between them, both are looking out for solution and we are having a hard time positioning our marketing website's communication because of this. Also, thanks for sharing your impression on the video! When you say "if their site is not set up in just the right way to fit weweb", do you mean that it feels like the editor won't allow you to build custom layouts that fit with any design? Your feedback is most welcomed!
I don’t really care if “we” don’t like Louis CK anymore, he did one weird thing that he has surely learned his lesson about, but even saying that buys into the idea of the court of public opinion: CK is an artist and like any artist I believe his works should be taken as-is. This new world on social media steroids has everyone thinking that they’re a public person and that their private consumption of culture and their stated public opinion somehow matters and needs to be curated. It doesn’t.

I’ll listen to black metal music made by a murderer and I’ll watch stand up made by a guy who offended someone by masturbating if I feel like it, and I suggest any thinking person applies their own preferences to the culture they consume rather than buy into this societal image of “public responsibility” that is hypocritical beyond imagination. Just drop it, live your life and let others live theirs. We already have a relatively well functioning system for prosecuting crimes, your public statements and outrage isn’t needed, regardless of how important and jacked in to the zeitgeist they make you feel.

You are comparing Apples to Oranges, CO2 is only one of the things contributing to Global Warming, CO2 gets the most headlines because that is what most individuals produce and have a realistic chance of curbing

Shift upstream however and other types of pollution becomes larger, I fear the focus is so much on CO2, that we have lost the plot that CO2 is just one part of the pollution problem

Tailscale fixes the Internet [0]: It makes it private, secure, and seamless. And because of that, one could do a lot on top of those basic uncompromising guarantees, like build a private, roaming, cross-platform P2P network, for example.

Thanks!

Yeah, especially last year really energized the entire niche. I was taken by surprise seeing the news about whiteboard.fi as well, hadn't known they've grown so quickly in the past year. And at least several other smaller whiteboard sites were also lapped up by bigger players.

We were considering several potential buyers but Miro seemed (and still is) the best choice overall. We've been tracking their growth (as a competitor) throughout the years and they really know what they're doing so I think we're in good company :)

I can't share the deal details, but it wasn't an acquihire.
Thanks for a neat project! I tried it on one of our more complex pipelines and created a few issues for you ;)
On top of that, you don't get answers by just posting numbers and blaming Apple.

Numbers do not mean anything without context.

It would be really interesting to understand what applications folks with both higher and lower numbers use daily. And what their developer habits are. Do they use a specific browser or a specific toolchain?

But ultimately, someone should probably write a little app or daemon that can just keep an eye on what specific processes are doing disk i/o. I think if people ran that for a while and then posted _that_ output, there would probably be some better answers.
And typesafe enums and sets of said enums and ranges of ints and enums and arrays addressable by said ranges and the ability to pass values by reference to functions :-P

> It’s worth keeping in mind that just because a site reaches out to one or more of the big four tech companies, it doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily snooping or doing something nefarious. Many websites use fonts from Google Fonts, or host their sites using Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure.

That's still snooping...

As a bonus, get tracked all the time by GitHub, VSCode, vcpkg, LinkedIn and the new Microsoft in general.
that's a good point, we are currently discussing this with our early adopters to find the right balance. We might increase this per-visit limits. What would be a fair limit for the business plan according to you?
Swap has value. E.g. it lets you have a tmpfs that's larger than your physical RAM. Or you can process memory dumps of a machine larger than yours. Or you can just freeze a process group and have it dumped to disk so other processes can use the RAM in the meantime. It can definitely help avoiding the OOM killer.

Swap occupancy and swap activity are not the same. The former is fine, the latter should be kept small.
The plural of "aircraft" is not "aircrafts". Isn't English a requirement for sub-editors?

Indeed, the Sculpt is my favorite keyboard so far. Despite being a mac-only user, I have several for them (work, home...). The biggest complaint I have is the small function button/escape row. If that was full sized, the keyboard would be close to perfect. A nice addition would be Bluetooth support, so you don't need the dongle for the keyboard any more.
The only one of those that's plausibly "adversarial" is telemetry (and I strongly disagree about that). The rest are just settings for which you don't want the defaults
> From what I read, the way eInk conducts their business, it is very difficult to launch new eInk products.

I have not read such claims. What I have read are individual small-scale customers approaching base layer producers like E-Ink and being disappointed after expecting assistance in getting their product ideas to market. That's analogous to a 10,000 unit/month or less customer approaching say a liquid crystal supplier, or AU Optronics and expecting any form of support or assistance. The outcome of such an interaction is pretty much guaranteed. Even the top tier distributors won't talk to you unless you're expected to order at least 100,000 units a year. Anything less and you go through the normal OEM development path of which there's tonnes of partners. You do what everybody else who has a display product idea does, which is go to SID or maybe just CES, and talk to OEM vendors. If you've got an E-Ink product idea, probably somebody like Netronix would be your OEM partner but even they probably won't talk to you unless you're putting down big NRE. That's just how it is. Volume drives the products. You can't have small volume and cheap unless you're reusing some component that someone else has driven the volume for. That's just as true in the display industry as it is in any other tech industry, eg: LCDs, OLEDs, CPUs, memory, sensors, even passives like resistors and capacitors!

That seems to be a cultural difference. Where I live there are some turkish supermarkets which stock that stuff bagwise. Similar for supermarkets catering mostly for russian/east-europeans. Apart from that their range of conventional products is just different but interesting! Been in a smaller turkish supermarket about a week ago and got nice stuff there, some 'Cheetoz' out of Iran https://dinafood.com/en/snack/ , several other snacks(roasted corn in hot and BBQ), Black Tea with Cardamom from https://www.ahmadtea.com/ , Turkish Honey/Delight with pistachios and pomegrenade (Yummie!), fruit juices, pickles, and so much more. All stuff that the normal markets don't have in stock. And interestingly the only acceptable Sri Racha is cheaper there, also! Also more varieties of that russian Kwas.

It's always a little adventure, to discover new things there. I guess I have a need to substitute for the lack of real hunting :-)
>So why bother learning about the basis of human thought and culture when instead we should be learning about how to make the next iPhone app that won't matter in 6 months. Anything to maximize those profits, right? People be damned, it's the bottom line that matters! Got it.

Yes, the bottom line matters because it's paying for your education. If there is no bottom line you will have no education. Consider this, back in the day only the richest people send their children to colleges and universities. How did they become rich? By maximizing profits. So yes, profits come first, after you have those profits you can spend it on nonessential education.
My main advantage as a writer is 20 years of recruiting experience, mostly for east coast US startups. Being a good resume writer (and maybe any good writer?) is really about knowing your audience. And when you've written a lot of resumes it becomes a bit easier. The voice is tricky for some people.
They've been developing it for 1.5 years and still no results, no visible MVP? I guess that's how it looks like when a startup matures and loses it's core values.

I still remember hearing Reid Hoffman at a conference (well, the online stream) in 2013. It was just a few weeks after my first startup flopped and my ex-co-founder was blaming it on not building a better quality product, for which I was to be held responsible as the CTO.

So then I hear Reid Hoffman of Linkedin talking at this conference about saying that "if you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product then you were releasing it way too late". Seems like they have forgotten it as an organization.
