Years ago I saw a tech talk where the speaker chided the audience for not understanding how to properly use Bing.

Then he proceeded to go to Bing and typed in 'Google' and followed the link to Google. Hilarious laughter ensued.
I love category theory. I found out about it through Haskell and as it turns out it is a branch of mathematics that I feel I’ve been missing my whole life.

Since taking an interest I’ve worked through a couple books on the topic and have listened to a ton of talks/interviews Emily Riehl has given (as well as others).

I really enjoyed her talk at lambda world, “A categorical view of computational effects” (both the content and audio/video quality of this talk are very good!)

Stoked to see this article on HN! I can’t tell if category theory is becoming more popular or if I’m just living in a algorithmically curated/tailored world.
I worked at Blizzard a generation ago and there was no copy protection and then copy protection was added to products while I was there. IIRC what a producer told me was they had sales numbers for Starcraft in Germany without copy protection. Based on projections (prior Warcraft expansions) they expected the expansion to sell 1/3 the copies of the original game. But they added a simple CD copy protection scheme to the expansion and sales of the expansion in Germany were 3x the original game, so about an order of magnitude greater sales, which one can sort of infer that piracy accounted for 80-90% of Starcraft player base in Germany. This is just my one anecdote, YMMV.
Currently, ETH is in big trouble: delay on the POS (I don't think it'll be ready before 2022), new binary compatible chains that will allow everyone to move on if ETH2 fails.

Also the ETH futures recently introduced will initially push the price down, like they did for BTC.

In addition to the above point many religious organizations offer services like counseling to couples who are struggling as well as things like play groups so parents can manage a date night every once in a while. If you are like me and not religious and have little actual exposure to this sort of thing you may want to spend some time visiting (post Covid) some churches to see what goes on there, its about 50% religion, 50% general life advice and community outreach. It's not surprising to me that a marriage with that support system is less likely to fail than one without.
The model was also new, so you can't be sure improving the data without doing anything else would fix it. You have to actually try it first.
A bat conservationist thinks bats are blamed for viruses because they're sampled more often than other mammals:

"Since 2005, when coronaviruses in horseshoe bats were first hypothesized to be the ancestors of the coronavirus that caused SARS, bats have received far more scrutiny than any other group of animals. For example, in the study on which the scariest headlines were based, researchers sampled nearly twice as many bats as rodents, shrews, and nonhuman primates combined and didn’t even include carnivores or ungulates."

There was a problem at the Indian restaurant the other day. It was naan issue.
To be honest I didn't even realise this was the goal. Surely the larger issue here is the lack of genetic variance? Although, I guess you could take a herd of elephants and splice some woolly mammoth DNA into their genome and get the genetic variance that way.

To your question though, presumably they could slowly reintroduce them to the wild in a controlled way? If humans gave them everything they needed to begin with then gradually restricted their food supply, etc? Wouldn't they eventually learn how to be self-sufficient?
I am no cryptographer. I did implement, from the paper, Yao's "socialist millionaire" cryptographic protocol but... It was only a few lines of code and a very simple (to understand, not to come up with) paper.

Huh?

You can easily draw shapes that conceptually represent square roots, but how do you get from that to calculating the square root? You'd need an infinitely-graded ruler.

> As a matter of practically, neither people, nor computers actually compute multiplication in such a way. Even children, though they may be exposed to the 'multiplication is repeated addition' concept as an introduction to multiplication, are quickly ushered past this and it is never brought up again.

The standard manual method of multiplication of large numbers relies on leveraging heavily:

(1) the fact that my multiplication is equivalent to repeated addition for nonnegative integers,

(2) the fact that shifting digit positions are equivalent to multiplication by the base (usually 10) or it's multiplicative inverse, depending on direction, and

(3) memorization of multiplication tables for single digits in the base.

So, no, I don't think the “multiplication is repeated addition” thing is something people are exposed to and then never use.
The thing is, it's very hard to get rich without some sort of equity. Maybe it's not equity in public companies, but almost all wealthy people get to that point by owning something. Whether that's stock options in a startup or a general partnership in a hedge fund or a medical practice or a piece of property that gets developed.

All equity comes with risk. Doubly so for the type of equity that generates a lot of wealth. Stability is nice, but expect to pay through the nose for it. The only real exception I can think of are people with exceptional talent in an exceptionally in demand skill. E.g. Tom Brady or Linus Torvalds or a world-class neurosurgeon.

> A tool like qpdf to deconstruct a PDF to an uncompressed form is very handy.

Forgot to say this in my reply, likewise pdftk's uncompress option is my #1 stop for learning about how a PDF is built when we have issues. You can poke around and hex edit for learning too.

It is easy in an uncompressed PDF to comment out a line with % to remove objects that I think are causing issues without messing up the xref offsets. Using a fully fledged tool to edit may have side effects in how things are rewritten which ruins the point of the investigation.

Acrobat Pro has some very useful features too, but not everyone has access to that.

As you pointed out, people don't agree on a set of rules, so what's the point of the algorithm and field?
Absolutely, and I'm not even sure it's a good thing that we are removing third-party cookies. I mean, if we take a step back: why should I even hate them? Yes, there are problems with them, there have been exploits using them and all that, but I'm pretty confident there will be similar problems with pretty much anything, because there's always a clever way to abuse some technology that was created with the best intentions in mind. And cookies, at least in theory, mean that you are putting me in charge of whatever tracking token you assigned to me: I can open my browser settings and clear it at any time. It's a good thing.

Of course, there are reasons why they aren't such a good thing as I make them sound to be. And the fact that you don't feel in charge of them should rather emphasize, than negate my point: if such a simple thing turns out to be something you learn to hate, don't you ever dream of something more complicated and less transparent to be your salvation.

And ever since federated learning became "the next big thing" I was arguing here on HN (rather unsuccessfully, I feel) that this doesn't mean that there's suddenly "no tracking", buying into that is just naïve. I'm not directly commenting on FLoC API, both because I don't know it well and because it's usually about making a stronger point anyway: that performing learning client-side and then submitting some sort of "depersonalized data" means better privacy and essentially is having your cake and eating it too. But I think it's just misleading to describe things this way. The idea that "sensitive data" is your document id, your name/surname and such is hopelessly outdated. In fact, it's funny that anyone even believes that, because if you are not a complete bureaucrat, it should be clear that you are not your name or some other sort of ID number, you are your behaviour. It's just that people are used to the idea, that Big Brother needs that simple ID number to keep you in line. But perhaps he doesn't anymore.

What I'm saying is essentially that sending "depersonalized data" is just obfuscating which personal & sensitive data is actually exchanged. And (again, not in the context of FLoC API, but more generally) it can be any data: I think we all remember funny stories how completely impartial GPT-3 learns someone's phone number and such.

So, this, and all of what you already said about the monopolization of people-tracking market.
Why? What actual problem does it solve for the average user?
HackerNews uses tables for layout, inline styles, and still forces browsers into quirks mode. Yeah, it can handle slightly bumping up the font size. I can also bump up my font size on Windows, macOS, and Android, and that works for 90% of apps there too.

I agree that the open web is an amazing achievement. I don't think Wasm and WebGL take away from that at all. It's just the next logical step to make the web possible for an even greater set of applications.
> Many countries have deeply complex tax codes.

Can you give an example of any country whose tax code is more than 70k pages long?

Or a country where it requires, by default, taxes paid on money earned while living oversees, depending on a large number of international treaties, case law, and expensive private letter rulings? Or a country that requires you to file a different tax return in almost every state you step your foot in while working remotely? Or a country that requires you to essentially recalculate taxes on a quarterly basis to determine if you should be fined for underpaying estimated taxes?

> nightmare scenario

That’s not a nightmare scenario. That’s just a standard audit. They assume, e.g., zero coat basis, or residency, or it wasn’t used for business, or ... and you have to prove otherwise.
That actually doesn't mean anything to me when I personally have had to deal with the shut off of many, many Google products and your competition (AWS) is better in every conceivable way.
I burned a few weeks struggling to use AWS's crate for lambda.
Basically it's abandonware and has a lot of ancient dependencies which clash with modern crates.
I eventually found that a few people had the same problems as I, and forked it, which is active and quite good: https://github.com/lamedh-dev/aws-lambda-rust-runtime

It would be fantastic if AWS had the resources to look after their official crate, or even if they simply spent 10 mins and put a bold warning on the github page: This is deprecated/abandonware, please use this recommended fork X.

Thanks :)
I imagine the reason your laws only requires a notification that a court case is happening, without details, is because all the information is already public anyway and you can look up anything you need, so I expect that if Dutch law has similar provisions, it would require more details to be shared with you. However, this is just guessing, I have no experience with this, sorry.
The problem is that exploiting things is often illegal, so it's hard to do a lot of things. I think you could steal relatively small amounts of crypto without attracting too much attention.

As for legal things:
At the very least I would submit it to bug bounty programs, maybe sell it to the NSA.
If I'm still allowed to, I guess I would try writing a paper about it.
> Our teacher didn't ruin the surprise. She just said, let's complete the square on a general quadratic equation.

How is this not ruining the surprise? The only possible outcomes of doing that are that (1) you make a mistake; or (2) you get a formula for solving quadratic equations. Quadratic equations have the same solutions regardless of your methodology, so there's only one formula you can get.
Makes sense. My goal with the comment was to shortcut the stuff that's already been discussed.

I wouldn't necessarily call this topic "generic". The "gravitational pull" you mention seems like a product of "number of people affected" x "how much of a relatable concern it is"; employment compensation scores high. Apple launches are another example of this.
From what I've seen and has been confirmed quite a few times now Flutter definitely does not deliver on producing mobile apps that are "super responsive and...indistinguishable from the native experience"

You can even find the director of engineering for Flutter confirming that's not the case on a thread on Reddit along with numerous devs reporting being burned by Flutter and swearing off using it ever again: https://www.reddit.com/r/FlutterDev/comments/llmkd4/ios_jank...

>because major institutions mostly refuse to say it out loud

because most of the actual content of far-right echo chambers is insane. Let's be real for a second the reason why this happens:

> [...]"Every other type of news outlet suffers a "misinformation penalty" if they share false information. The analysis found that in the far left, slightly left, and center categories, credible stories saw between two and five times as much engagement as fake news. On the far-right, however, misinformation received 426 interactions per thousand followers in an average week, while credible far-right information received only 259 engagements[...]"

is because the average far-right reader is, to put it bluntly, kind of stupid. Can you imagine what the average Economist reader thinks if the Economist were to publish "the earth is hollow, Bill Gates is a lizard, MAGA!".

This has nothing to do with 'major institutions', it's to do with the people who consume far-right content. I guess if you want to start to talk about solutions, you would have to stop to be politically correct, ironically enough a major demand of the far-right, and stop trying to pretend the consumers of this content are equal in their ability to critically process information.
What would be the purpose of pursuing something that did not ultimately bring you joy?
Also incredible that it could have been predicted over 200 years ago [0]. The law of rent, one of the most firmly established in economics, is that all the bounty of our efforts will accumulate to the holders of fixed assets, namely land and human talent.

We're talking specifically about passive vision based facial recognition, right?

I've personally seen such systems that simply do not have the dynamic range to be able to, in the same exposure, extract a sufficient amount of detail from black skinned faces and white skinned faces.

I'm sure there are systems that can, at a much higher cost. But largely there are many that simply fail.
If you run your own hardware you also have to trust that it wasn't compromised by the vendor. At some point you just have to decide which level of trust to give each vendors and for some people, trusting that Amazon will operate their clusters without invading their privacy or accessing their data is a pretty good bet. If found out, it'd be the end of AWS's reputation.
That might also point to the tendency of the left to report things that they do not agree with as misinformation.

And Fb like many other institutions are filled with "liberal" or the virtue signaling generation.
No matter how "better you integrate", there's one big core issue: the DOM. You simply cannot make the DOM behave as smoothly an as reliably as a native app. And no, no amount of "improved web standards" can help with that.

> espousing the idea that stable marriages can't be happy

I don't see anyone saying this. Instead the claim is: when divorce is a cultural taboo, people are more likely to stick in an unhappy or even abusive marriage. This claim seems pretty uncontroversial, but at any rate it is a positive claim (not normative) whose accuracy can be judged by empirical data.

Several of those companies are not public. They are indeed offering paper money, but if you trust valuations during fundraising rounds (and given how late stage Stripe, Robinhood are) it's a pretty safe bet.

Oof, I really like Auth0 and was thinking of adopting them soon. Now it just seems like a huge risk. Why would I willfully walk into what will obviously be a migration nightmare and unknown pricing change for one of the central and critical pieces of my application (which should be boring to maintain)?

Best to Auth0! I really hope you can maintain your company culture and excellence, but I can't risk my business on that now.
Its nice to have absolute control of the rendering going over canvas if you are a flutter platform developer and i think even playing the catch-up game they should get there eventually.

But i don't think this is the real issue here.. Flutter is more of a Flash and GWT lineage, and that's fine if that's what you are looking for.

But i bet on the Web every time, its the most popular UI (and now much more) platform ever. So while some will go through the Flutter and React way of doing things, most will just stick with the web.

The web is the most sophisticated platform ever built. It gives you a lot of power and freedom, so i don't understand why some prefer to get stuck into a cubicle when you have so much space?

Its nice to have frameworks to make things easy and developers more productive, but the ones that do this without alienating the developer from the bigger, broad and sophisticated framework are just better.

Just let them be the new Flash, now at least open and over the web, and look for other approaches if you want to maintain real control and freedom, instead of delegating to the platform developers.
But these are the official demos.

I would not buy a screwdriver if a salesperson walked up to me, said "look how great this screwdriver is" and then the chair they were holding as an example immediately fell apart in their hands. There's a difference between a dev community building apps that perform badly and the actual platform advocates showing off apps that can't perform.

If you want to compare today's state of the art chess playing model to a human that's the relevant comparison, but if you want to compare the current field of AI to humans the line between the system and the training becomes fuzzy.
If you look at the past 10 years of AI we have massively reduced the amount of data required to achieve a given score for computer vision models by making changes to the system of the neural networks. In fact it's where most of the improvements have come from rather than increasing the amount of data. I don't see a reason to believe it won't keep working this way. I'd say we're being damn efficient and it doesn't feel fair to say "look at how much data they need, the approach is fundamentally wrong" when we've been at it for such a short amount of time compared to the millions of years it took humans to evolve.
It’s misleading, too. Most of the surplus wealth has accrued to people who were already wealthy. They are property owners in these areas, perhaps, but that’s incidental.
Would adblockers work on these kind of webapps? Adblocker typically look for specific piece of js files and DOM nodes to block ads, but Flutter web doesn't really work like that, no?
>"I interviewed with both, and the process at Auth0 had me walk away with respect, while contrasted with Okta that left me reminded that tech hiring is broken."

While I haven't interviewed with Auth0 it sounds like we both had the same experience and impression regarding Okta. You know something is off when your interview loop for an engineering role involves the President of Technology doing coding interviews and all your interviewers warn you about you about your upcoming interview with him. I thought it said a lot about the culture there.
With time they would rebuild that knowledge.
