I keep these bookmarked as they're about the simplest and clearest introductions to how economies work that I've found - and the Bank of England should know what they're talking about :)

Bank reserves aren't an important factor in the financial systems, they're there to ensure customers have access to money if they want to withdraw it and to allow banks to move money between each other. More importantly banks don't lend money out of their reserves (so-called "fractional reserve banking"), they simply add the loan amount to the customer's account and also to their own liabilities i.e. they "create" money.
I got around that by using Switchresx to supersample on non-Retina screens. It’s not perfect but looks better than jaggies
You know how some people say C thinks every computer is just a fancier PDP-11 ?

OSS thinks every computer's audio playback devices are just fancier CT Soundblasters.

If you've got a typical generic PC with Intel HDA or AC'97 (or indeed, an actual PCI Soundblaster) and what you'd like to have happen is that you can run your VoIP software, and listen to MP3s and also have new mails go "bing!" then "all the world is a Soundblaster 16" is close enough.

But if you've got a USB headset you plug in to take those VoIP calls, and a pair of bluetooth earbuds for listening to music, but you want new mail noises on speakers - you will start to struggle. These things aren't enough like a Soundblaster, neither in terms of how they're actually working nor in terms of how you expect to use them.

PulseAudio does a much better job there, because it's the right shape, and now it seems PipeWire is a better shape for modern environments where it's not necessarily OK for the software that plays smooth jazz from the Internet to be technically capable of listening in on your video conference calls.
Yes, they can't throttle the engines down that much, so it turns them off once their thrust is no longer needed.
This is a huge stepping stone to the world's first fully reusable orbital rocket. Incredibly exciting!

I haven't looked at the replays, but I do believe the landing legs did deploy. They're pretty short and stubby.
I guess space is one issue, the other one is if you have access to each breaker's circuitry?
No rule changes needed. Apple is at the point where they are really pushing up against the limits of consumer spending. Spending $140 on TurboTax is a prime target. Thats $140 where a fraction can get funneled back to Apple purchases. It is now worth it for them to make sure iPhone users never reach a TurboTax checkout flow.

Apple is just getting started with finances built right into the iPhone. The credit card is already rolled out, and now comes a built-in bank account that can accept your payroll. This is just too valuable for Apple to pass up. The next step is push-button tax filing. Classic innovator dilemma where you start with basic returns. Think Uber driver.

My point is that the expectation is so strong that, absent something on your driving record to prevent it, you'll get a rental no matter what you look like as long as you have a reservation (which you'll get sight unseen).

That is not true of apartment renting; in fact, I'd argue, it's distinctively untrue of renting. Thus, my rebuttal to Rayiner.
I agree with some of Taleb's critiques of IQ as a whole, and am quite interested in this topic. I will check out Dr. Rutherford's talk, thanks!

> My own son was nearly forced to take a class on Marxism at one of the top tech schools in the US as a condition for graduation with an engineering degree. I say "nearly" because the way they did it was "soft". He had to take a humanity and the only class available for a year and a half was "Young Karl Marx". So, go to Marxism class or graduate a year and a half later. Disgusting.

A class on Marxism is hardly a bad thing. Learn what it is, and what it is not. Judge it for ones-self. Restriction on education is what the communist regimes did, not the free world.

> Anyone who thinks these ideas are, in any way, good, has not lived under them. I have. Most of my family has. Friends have. Neighbors have. To call Socialism and Marxism "dangerous bullshit" is to be kind. The problem is the US has no clue what they are walking into. And so people like Bernie, AOC and others are idolized and supported instead of being laughed out of every possible corner of influence in this country.

The good news is that neither AOC nor Bernie Sanders are Marxists, they're Leftists. The difference is that human rights matter to them as opposed to what happened in the hardline Marxist/communist governments where ideology trumped humanity. There's no Leftist call for the destruction of non-Leftist art, non-Leftist science, non-Leftist political parties, or any of that. It's just another way of structuring taxes and social services.

> The average high school graduate in the US is barely good enough to stack boxes in a warehouse or, maybe, make coffee. No financial education. No understanding of business. No marketable skills at all. That's what we are producing by the millions every year. Imagine what we could do if we graduated kids with solid financial, entrepreneurial, business and other chops. It would be absolutely amazing.

The schools are still stuck in the model of making good little factory/office workers, it's true, but that's no more a fault of the Marxists than it is the Capitalists trying to keep labor cheap, although they've found outsourcing to countries with lower regard for human rights to be far superior.

Also, hoping for high-school graduates to have business acumen and marketable skills is pretty optimistic. I'd expect 18-25 to be the years where people develop those highly valuable skills; not everyone can be an entrepreneur and definitely not at 18. Maybe if we hit full automation we can start to expect high-school students to immediately start robotic businesses but realistically it takes a lot of years of practice to be good at business and finance.
yeah I am still trying to find Hitler in that logo.
Glad someone is pursuing this model. I am doing well enough that its absolutely worth it to me to pay my way out of the “proliferation of personal data” game.

Thinking on it I had an amusing thought: I wonder if there will ever be a google premium :) All tracking, no ads.
I honestly think this is a good thing. If new developers are willing to have a sense of humor while also not detrimentally breaking the experience for others, I fail to see the harm there. It's certainly less harmful than naming your photo editor "Gimp", as good of a name and well-intentioned as it may be.
It renders MarkDown in the browser?? That can’t be, can it?
But for now, it's more important to ask whether ECC is vulnerable to some variant of Schnorr's attack, which uses conventional computers. We already had an algorithm to break RSA on quantum.
I can't imagine that they're willingly giving up piles of money. Assuming they aren't, that may mean that individual tracking & targeting simply didn't add much value in attracting customers and sales.

Or they've but up such a massive database of individual behavior that they can now generalize that to targeted groups instead of individuals.

The article also just says they won't sell ads or invest in that technology, not that they won't still track and use the data in some other ways. They've probably invested plenty already to not need to push it further.
Another reason to breastfeed, if that's a viable option for the parents.
Can second this, Okta requires you to "contact support" to turn on basic features like email customization, and even though I'm a paying customer, I was given a multi-week estimate (after waiting a week or two) for how long it would take to enable this feature.

It's a flag in the web UI in Auth0.

This did not fill me with confidence.
Yes. They need 1 to land - more than one means too much thrust.

Last time they only lit one, it failed to light, and boom. This time they lit all three hoping at least one would work, then turned off the ones they didn’t need.

I assume they had the idea independently of the guy who asked musk why they didn’t light more than one and shut down — musk replied “because we’re dumb”, but I guess that tweeter could claim to be a rocket scientist now.
And it just popped :-D
LOL. Is that the Ukraine that has an active war zone, multiple provinces annexed and mostly abandoned by Russia, and a comedian who played a president on TV... actually serving as president? The Ukraine that's mostly used as a punching bag in disputes between other countries?

If someone would rather live in the third most corrupt country in the world than in Germany, well, they can have it.
My kid refers to a character in the game as a "mungus" -- I've never heard him pluralize it. But god, we couldn't figure out what the hell he was talking about until he drew the thing.
Reasonable questions.

Frankly, though they are questions for Dustin.

I’d like him to confirm that he didn’t receive any calls or emails about this.

It would be pretty bad if Apple is claiming to have done this, and didn’t.

The fact that he didn’t mention them doesn’t mean they didn’t happen.

It just means he didn’t connect them to the suspension of his card, which he had another explanation for.

What makes you think it happened ‘fast’?

I haven’t seen a timeline of what happened that makes that clear.

Either way, Dustin owes us a clarification at this point.

He left a lot out of his original story, and was flat out wrong about Apple’s policy.

His report has lost credibility for me now that we have this additional information.

I agree that it doesn’t mean Apple’s policies are somehow exonerated, but we won’t know that until Dustin either confirms or denies the details.

Let’s note that he said this:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26308271

And that his original tweet that Apple disabled his account after just one missed payment, was complete bullshit.
Vlad, you're looking a little sus at the moment.
You're confining your thinking to well-known companies you can name. For every company you can name, there are 20 you've never heard of and they sure as hell aren't paying average developers $200k.
As a user of GCP, this really feels like a HackerNews meme that doesn't have any substance. I have never had a GCP feature killed, but I've had many AWS features mothballed. I am not really sure how to change the perception here since it's easy to say: "Google kills products-- therefore I will never use any Google product†"

† Except search, email and phone.
This wasn't done for SN8 and SN9, where they only lit one engine. Musk said that this time around, they were going to light all three and then shut two off, thus providing some engine redundancy during the landing.
OK, a little more context. Sophie Schmieg has a twitter thread discussing some of these issues:

https://twitter.com/SchmiegSophie/status/1367197172664389635

They mostly mirror the article this post is under, namely "show me the factors". Schnorr claims spectacular run times but it isn't clear he provides actual data from runs he's done. Schnorr also doesn't discuss complexity considerations in the detail they would deserve while focusing on basic details that I suppose wouldn't show up in a paper like this normally.
What? It's really hard to have fun on the Internet.

If you dont mind come back check reply later then I'll post reproduction once I can. Might be in 8-10 hours. Few people on HN check old replies though.
For a little less distant comparison, you could buy a Sun E10k in 1997. It was roughly two full racks in size with 64 total Sparc CPUS delivering ~50GFlops.

So 18 of those needed, 36 full racks of space, 1152 CPUs to get to 900GFlops. Each 10k is roughly 39"W x 50"D x 70"H, so about ~244 square feet of floor space for 18 of them, not including space needed around it. Including the space around it, it would be a typical 1BR apartment full of compute.

Also, I assume the M1 does significantly better than 900 GFlops if you don't run it through the browser.

Although I think that’s because people object to killing them. But that could also happen with megafauna.
There is also the generational drop in testosterone that has been discussed here on HN. This may explain some portion of the rising numbers of men not getting sex.

If by open-and-free dating markets of 20-somethings you mean places like bars in the Marina or the party scene of Isla Vista. You are correct, to succeed there you have to be conventionally attractive. In the low light and hormone fueled club scene of Miami, even more so. Status, social proof, money...it matters.

But there are many other places to find great partners. My 5'4" friend is a musician. Girls approached him. He has done well over the years. Other successful guys I know sail, scuba-dive, rock-climb, ski, fly, hike, surf, etc. Each of these activities has its own social scene with interesting people.

My statement about dating and friends was inaccurate. I actually agree with you: dating =/= friendship. It has been been my observation that my struggling single friends didn't know how to be social. I encouraged them to befriend people and learn about themselves. An example of what I meant by "dating emerges..." my friends who sail will periodically send out open invitations to get 5-10 people together for a day of sailing. The goal is to invite fun interesting people. By being friends with social people, you get exposed to more people. People click in person. Another friend regularly rents big houses for ski weekends - again with the goal of pulling interesting people together.

Regarding muscles: agree. Fitness improves everyone's chances in everything. I encourage all of my single friends to be physically active and fit.

"You liked the landing? Cool. Here's an explosion anyway."
That is essentially how we file our taxes in Norway. You don't really have to login to verify the numbers, only if the numbers (that the government calculates for you) needs revision
Can you share a link to the explosion? The Twitter video cut out with rocket intact.
Err, what? So there would be one cohort of "new-parent-lives-in-springfield-works-in-power-plant-etc-etc" (combining multiple unrelated interests), it just has to have thousands of people in it?

Do cohorts allow advertisers to say, "Show this ad to anyone in a cohort with an affinity for 'new-parent' over threshold X?" is that so?

Do they let advertisers say, "here are the cohorts of our best 1000 customers, please show ads to anyone else in those cohorts?"

Would people in "my cohort" be the 1000-10000 people most like me in browsing habits in the world?

(Disclaimer, have tried to buy limited quantities of ads in the past, interested in some part as an advertiser)

One of your cofounder's, Zaheer, set a date and time with me for a phone interview and proceeded to ghost me even after sending multiple emails asking why he didn't appear for the call. I'm really glad I didn't join the company whose cofounder can do something like that.
Yes but the number of slots are limited with radio and print and a national brand would not hesitate to outbid a local business if it thought it could bring in one more customer.
I never said that wasn’t the case.

Outside of being a Jainist monk, there’s no escaping that your life on this planet doesn’t cost other animals’ lives. If you were to argue that all lives are equally important (I wouldn’t, but lots of vegans seem to), then you can reasonably make the argument that the calories you get from killing a single free range bison or moose costs fewer total lives than getting the equivalent calories from soy-based substitutes.

Not everyone is comfortable with things being that direct, and that’s ok. It’s a better moral choice for me, and I don’t believe a world where the option was foreclosed, or where everyone was eating meat substitutes would necessarily be a better one.
This reminds me of the following:

“In my view, shared by many blue-suiters, this marvelous airplane should still be operational but, alas, that was not to be. One of the most depressing moments in the history of the Skunk Works occurred on February 5, 1970, when we received a telegram from the Pentagon ordering us to destroy all the tooling for the Blackbird. All the molds, jigs, and forty thousand detail tools were cut up for scrap and sold off at seven cents a pound. Not only didn’t the government want to pay storage costs on the tooling, but it wanted to ensure that the Blackbird never would be built again. I thought at the time that this cost-cutting decision would be deeply regretted over the years by those responsible for the national security. That decision stopped production on the whole series of Mach 3 aircraft for the remainder of this century. It was just plain dumb.”

100%.

We use Okta but to write some integration with their OIDC service, I found it much easier and secure to use the Auth0 libraries. I found Okta's support to be really lacking. And while features like Token Exchange has been in draft form for 5 years and finalized a year ago, Okta still hasn't implemented and their beta won't be ready until later this year.

Not a fan of Okta but their business model does have really good vendor lock-in.
It's actually unreal. The only thing not great about it is only two ports. When i'm trying to build to 3-4 devices it's a pain. But found a good USB-C coming out in May which should hopefully help. Worth it to escape the touch bar and fan.
Even if we can get over the pro-employer stigma of not discussing compensation openly, we still have to deal with ego and the fact that people earning in the top 20% are going to be much more vocal than people in the bottom 20%. For example, see this entire thread.
Quick edit to this - they need two for the rotation to happen. Last time they lit two and one failed, so they did not have enough thrust to rotate it. This time they lit three and turned off one for the rotation, then turned off a second once it was rotated.
We just wrote a piece this morning in Orbital Index about the iteration speeds of SLS, New Glenn, and Starship. SpaceX is putting everyone else to shame.

https://orbitalindex.com/archive/2021-03-03-Issue-106/#heavy...

Reminds me of this quote from NASA Administrator Charles Bolden in 2014: "Let's be very honest again. We don't have a commercially available heavy lift vehicle. Falcon 9 Heavy may someday come about. It's on the drawing board right now. SLS is real."
Not sure I understand. Why don’t you run the markdown source through markdown once, then put up the resulting static HTML without any JavaScript?
Basically, if it could run the IBM PC versions of Lotus and Flight Simulator, it was deemed "100% IBM compatible".
This area is one that I've been pondering for a long time. In my view, the most sensible approach is to abstract the entire UI and write to the abstracted UI. Then you write the translation piece in whatever toolkit(s) and platform(s) you care about (and in whatever language is most appropriate). This hard separation of the platform and toolkit opens the door for some nice benefits (cross platform being the first and most obvious).

However, the benefits don't need to stop with cross-platform. By adding location independence to the non-application part of the code, you get the flexibility to decide later (even after the application is written) whether to deploy it as a "fat" app (application logic running locally) or "thin" (UI commands and events routed over network to your app running on a server).

I've been experimenting with these ideas for years and it's all doable. I've done various UI/toolkit implementations such as: Cocoa/ObjC, Gtk/C++, wxWidgets/C++, win32/C++, Delphi VCL/Pascal, HTML/JS, Java Swing, Java SWT, etc.

I look forward to being able to share publicly (once I decide which license to use).
didn't the NASA have a rocket doing these type of manoeuvres multiple times a day? in like the early 90's?
I'm curious why that matters?

Part of that curiosity is because the answers so far talk about 'About'pages and similar.

What's the added benefit/trust you are looking for here?

Apologies if my question is naïve.
Two are necessary for the rotation and one for the landing. SN9 tried to light two and one failed, now they're lighting all three for the rotation. Here's a video on SN9 with one burning and one flameout: https://youtu.be/z8PzW8imgAE?t=401
That's a novel way to explode.
No need to set up a company, just bill them as a sole proprietor. They send you a 1099 at the end of the year. Staffing agencies are useless if you already own the customer relationship.

Just as a bit of counterpoint, I'm still running the same hardware right now as I was 12 to 15 years ago with KDE3, nowadays KDE5 is so much faster than KDE3 ever was. Yes I need to upgrade badly, yes I was planning to just a few months ago, but prices seem a bit crazy now, so I'm still continuing with my ancient but somehow still operational hardware.
