Also, Waymo became untouchable. A lot of Google's valuation rests on pixie dust promises of transformative potential of future AI. Admitting that it won't happen anytime soon and culling Waymo would take a lot of Silicon Valley ecosystem with it.

> But if someone's "punishing savers" and "perpetuating consumerism", it's not the index, and it's not the people compiling the index, and it's not the people trying to make the index more accurate by adjusting for quality.

I’ve seen this a lot around the net and I’m honestly and genuinely curious. What drives you to defend the CPI?
Greyhound was such a disappointment for me (a huge Das Boot fan, submarine sim player). The subs in the movie acted like a bunch of horny teenagers in a girls' dormitory, surfacing at the stupidest moments, firing at everything that moves, taking a fucking destroyer head-on for some reason. Stopped taking the movie seriously halfway through, skipped through the second half for some cool shots that didn't look violently CGI. If it wasn't for Tom Hanks, it would've been a 35 % movie.
I’d say the main challenges come from two directions:

- you’re competing with fresh undergrads, and most companies have university recruitment pipelines you can’t leverage.

- older people (by default) are expected to have more experience, and perform better than people with no work experience. If you were at your current skill level after 20 years on the job, you’d probably be a lost cause. Be sure to set the expectation that you are a junior developer when applying.

Having said that, it’s totally possible. Most software firms are looking for more diversity of background, and you likely have all sorts of relevant “soft skill”, business, and other experience other candidates can’t bring to the table.
I don't know about you, but if I learned that my doctor, with whom I trust my health, spent 4-6 hours a week in a class where they learned to say "Circle Circle Dot Dot, now you got the cootie shot" like a kindergarten rhyme... I don't care if 95% of them know it doesn't work and is a waste of time. I'd have serious concerns about their entire profession that they were even allowed to waste their time on something so unscientific.

(Not to mention a deep fear that I might get one of the 5% that will try to re-sell me rhyme based medicine as proven science).
This is more commentary on the "the best React state management setup for you is..." comment above than the site itself. I fundamentally take issue with there being a "best" solution for state management, especially targeted at people starting out. The various libraries can do great things for different apps, but the answers as to what works best for a given situation tend to be nuanced.
Thanks for reading! You are correct. The goal is a product that clients can use to pressure test their own portfolio against tail risks. I plan on building out more scenarios over time. If you have any topics you think would be good to cover next, let me know!
It's about consent. A user gives explicit consent for a company like Instagram to have access to data. They don't give it to random third parties to scrape.

And no, they can't sell it to whoever they want (or at least that's a reduction of how Facebook and Google use your data). They do monetize the data with their internal advertising platforms that they sell to people like OP, rather than letting anyone monetize the data without the knowledge or consent of their users.
Just found the TLAPS Tactics page:
https://tla.msr-inria.inria.fr/tlaps/content/Documentation/T...

Sounds like the first thing TLAPS does is to translate the TLA+ program into SMT and try to prove it with Z3. If that times out then it translates it into a couple of other kinds of provers before giving up (...).

Maybe I should look at how TLA+ "hello world" is compiled into SMT as a first step.
These are two different types in Julia. The first is an array of numbers. The second is an infinite set of types, namely "all arrays which have Number or a subtype of Number as its element type".

There is a distinction, because e.g. `Array{Int32}` is a subtype of the latter, but not the former (because the former is a concrete types that does not have subtypes).
It's treated as a prerequisite by the time you are declaring a major. My state engineering school didn't require calc for freshman admission. The degrees all required the college level classes (or the AP equivalent).
> It sounds like they would've lost a lot of the conveniences that a framework like .net gave them.

Would they have? It sounds like they put a lot of effort into bypassing the garbage collector by creating buffers up front and then never letting then reusing them so they can never be garbage collected. Best practice in embedded C code is to allocate buffers up front and then reuse them. The terminology in the above two sentences is different, but the way the code is written is exactly the same.

Once you lose garbage collection does .net give you anything over C++? I don't know enough about .net to answer the question - even if I did the answer probably depending on if you are doing something where .net has a saner syntax, or run of the mill code that looks almost identical in C++ as .net (C++ templates are legendarily bad for a reason, if .net is even slightly better it doesn't take too many generic things to make .net better)

Study Bibles go through the effort of properly cross-referencing elements as well as adding in historical context. If you're going to read the Bible that can be very important extra information than just some translated version without extra information. At least the Catholic bibles I've read (large chunks of) in the past still had those details about the ancient cosmology that you mention, they didn't remove it.

Are you, maybe, referring to those bizarre "modern translations" that have been spinning about for the past 20 or so years? Most of them really did manage to create an entirely new text almost completely divorced from their source material.
I found this an interesting article at first glance but after comparing the two analyses he posted, are the numbers really that different that you can make a big distinction in terms of the articles differing readability? (If we accept that the program does a good job analyzing the text.)

Would be very interesting to see this kind of analysis with a decent sample size and see if there actually is a trend. Hard to tell by comparing just two articles.

But there is an objective way to know when you've reached your number using the concept of "Safe Withdrawal Rate". If your savings (typically in the form of a diversified portfolio) is at about 25 times your typical annual expenditure, you can retire with relative safety (See for example https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Safe_withdrawal_rates).

Last year, my savings had reached over 60x annual expenditure so I felt more than safe even with allowances for self-insurance for long-term care and higher education for my children. How much more do you need?

Why do authors use such silly titles as "Lord of the Rings"? There is no mention of it anywhere in the paper besides the title, it just looks childish(to me). Just use the second part of the title as the paper's title, dump the LoTR thing.
Oh so you think the best solution is to have millions of people fighting and killing each other?

It does seem that mass killing and destruction is the primary way that humans settle serious political disputes.

Of course, for every war, and every combatant, in every faction, they had many reasons, such as you list, for why their participation in the killing and destruction was the moral thing to do.

To me this proves that unaugmented humans are not fit to control the earth. We can only hope that transhuman and posthuman societies may some day actually be civilized.
It is the opposite, high voltage DC is much better for long distance, because at such distances the powerlines themselves start acting as inductors with relatively large impedance.
are deeply frowned on by the ratings groups, yet stabbing someone in the throat and having their blood gush out everywhere is fine and dandy.

I'm trying to think of a movie where so graphically murdering a real human with a real weapon wouldn't get a frown and an R from the MPAA like nudity would.

Kind of ironically, though, one way to dodge harsher ratings for violence is to kill non-humans (like aliens) with made up weapons (like phasers) and show no gore while doing it. Everyone has viscera, after all (I assume, maybe some aliens in the Star Trek universe don't); is seeing it such a big deal?

Most movies and shows have become so violent that I don't even look for new stuff anymore.

There are a lot of new movies and shows out there (including new Star Trek shows), especially considering how there are so many platforms distributing new content. I'd venture to say most of them are at the violence level of Star Trek or below. It's totally fine if you want to rewatch the same stuff because you know you like it, but to write off decades of new media like you have, without even seeing it, is kinda lazy.
Yeah, and if they had gasoline and matches they could go around and burn down everyone's houses. The point is that the protocol shouldn't have a flaw that allows local traffic to have harmful nonlocal effects.

Andy Rubin case is horrendous, but it's a different type of corruption. Petro corruption would be siphoning money off to personal accounts, kick backs, etc.

Anyway, petro states depend on a single source of depletable revenue. They even fail at all attempts to expand up the value chain around services or refining of their oil. Even if Google's only successes are around furthering their ads revenue, that's still a far cry from petro states.
I don't disregard science, nor practice any of that nonsense. I believe in science fully. Trying to attach me to those anti-scientific ideas is kind of asinine.

I doubt you actually read what Damore wrote, you just agree with his idea. None of what Damore pushed was any more scientific in nature than phrenology. Take a look for yourself:

Whenever he points to a biological origin, it's followed by a single study that doesn't come to the point that he's trying to make. It's a lot of "men are this, and women are that" with no substance behind it. If you're google, you can follow the short links, but most are dead.
I wonder if anybody has wondered / commented on how Nvidia making dedicated crypto mining hardware is somewhat of a game changer to begin with, in how it might serve to "mainstream" mining, whereas it used to be that you'd need special hardware to get started, which was harder to source / obtain ...

> CPI is a joke, they do something called hedonic adjustments to things like tech products etc.

Hedonic adjustments have very minor effects on tech products (which is one of the few areas I've seen a detailed impact analysis, though not recently enough that I have it at hand.)

> Technology is deflationary, things should get cheaper because we go after producing them in creative ways one demand is high.

And...they do. Hedonic adjustments have an effect on how that is reflected in inflation statistics, but they don't effect the underlying processes.

> CPI is absurd, it only perpetuates consumerism and punishes savers

I think your are (among other errors with that description) confusing measuring inflation with policies targeting a small positive level of inflation. CPI doesn't do either of those things.
Oprah's Meghan and Harry Interview a Pure Master Class in Emotional Intelligence
> Yes, but we also have certificate transparency.

Right. Because of the hundreds of millions of domains out there, every one of them is monitoring the CT logs for their domains....? And once someone does create a false cert, by the time you find out about it, the cyber criminals have already hauled away a bank transfer or personal data, etc.

CT isn't security, it's a broken window.

> That exists and is called DNSSEC.

Every time I propose this, somebody equates it to something else (DNSSEC, DANE, etc), but what I'm proposing intentionally avoids those designs' pitfalls. I'm saying we need a brand new design that does not piggy-back on existing solutions.

> Also, it would require major rethinking of how we use the internet.

It would require rethinking of the workflows between registrars, domain owners, nameservers, and webservers. But in theory, browsers would work exactly the same; they'd just trade their ca-certificates for registrar-certificates. Validating the full chain of certs that they already do should be the same.
The official was correct, from the perspective of economy-wide price stability. The problem wasn't inflation, the problem was expensive food.

Obviously, this particular exchange was of no comfort to those who suffer from high food prices, but why should monetary policy be the remedy for high food prices (to the exclusion of its current goals) instead of looking for remedies in fiscal policy, trade policy, regulatory policy, or other instruments better suited to a more targeted redress?
>My layman understanding of inflation is that it is the measure of change of purchasing power a unit of currency has over time

>I know you wrote that you don't really have the inclination anymore to educate on the topic but I for one would be grateful for any pointers how to explain the above discrepancy?

obvious answer: it's not "price index", it's "consumer price index". First paragraph from wikipedia:

>A consumer price index measures changes in the price level of a weighted average market basket of consumer goods and services purchased by households.
Interesting to hear you say that as I think you're right and making it more real-time is something I'm working on next. As you say, by the time the PR is up it's too late already but maybe a Slack/IDE notification the moment you create a conflict would be better.

Thanks again for the feedback!

"Journalism" isn't a real profession anymore. It doesn't attract writing talent, except at the margins. Why should it, journalism jobs have decreased by more than ~50% the last decade.

Journalists are now just copywriters; optimizing for SEO and Google's spiders.
You forgot the quotes around "economist". Economics is still not science, it's getting closer; but the whole field ignores stuff and deals with spherical cows to simplify complexities.

This, of course, makes it wildly inaccurate.

Every HN thread relating to blockchain turns into either a) immediate dismissal of blockchain or b) immediate dismissal of blockchain based on its carbon footprint. Frankly, this is boring and repetitive. If you have no actual contribution to make, perhaps don't clutter every thread with the same critiques which have been discussed a thousand times before.
I don't understand how anyone would trust a company whose main selling point is privacy when the same company is owned by a company that live off the opposite. Even if they could prove without a doubt to me that they can be trusted, that trust means nothing if you can't also believe that they are still trustworthy in the future. I personally don't trust either and haven't used them since they got bought up. Do you trust them?
I have been using this email app for months, with 4 different email providers. It works like a charm, it's snappy, and privacy-oriented (preview links before opening them, block pixel tracking, and lot of other clever features.)

This is the most confusing article layout I have ever seen. The first part is almost an article in size and is an ad and then what seems to be another ad about some people. I was about to close this article assuming it was just spam with a click baity title.
> If we assume that newspapers goal is to sell papers to the maximum number of potential readers, this indicates a decline in general literacy / IQ of reading populace.

No doubt audiences are less well read today, but in theory this should motivate simpler, clearer writing, rather than the opaque, convoluted writing the article is (rightly) criticizing.
Haha that's really creative though. Makes me wonder if there is anything useful "stored" in pi that could be represented with, say, 2 64-bit integers.

> A friend of mine used to say "Is your grandma so senile that she can't type `configure; make; make install`?"

Who writes makefiles such that 'make install' doesn't have 'all' (or whatever the default target is) as a dependency? It's even mean these days not to automatically configure with the default options if no configuration has previously been specified.

Thus grandma should really only have to do the much simpler

Unpacking (or splatting) can be excruciatingly slow in Julia if you have more than a few dozen elements in the iterable.

That happens because it gets splatted into a tuple with N elements, which in Julia has a type parameter for every element - i.e. a generic type Tuple{N1, N2, N3 ... N} with as many type parameters as there are elements in the iterable. And the compiler has a hard time working with an instance of a type with e.g. 10,000 parameters.
Absolutely. I wish more people would.

This industry's over-representation of 20-30-somethings creates a real echo chamber. When any group is over-represented in an industry, that industry will struggle to hear other perspectives and experiences. So please, let's increase the supply of diverse voices.

(This is not an "SJW" thing, by the way. I can feel some of you being triggered by words like "diverse", but I'm not trying to say that any of you are any less deserving of your jobs and accomplishments. You're all wonderful and brilliant.)

In terms of hire-ability, I think you'll find much success. I don't live in SV, but in my experience, the age of a programmer has never been an issue in hiring.

With one exception: The salary expectations of someone in their early 20s is usually different from someone in their 40s. Switching careers generally means starting from the bottom and working your way up. You'll probably climb much faster than the young guns due to all sorts of relevant experiences you've had, but there's no getting around the fact that you're starting over.
I think the underlying point is that there are cognitive biases that prevent decision makers from effectively understanding that risk. It’s very much like financial crashes; after the fact it becomes obvious the risk was there but our biases prevent most people from seeing/understanding it effectively in the moment

I definitely noticed the convoluted, obfuscated writing style of the NYT and New Yorker. The sentences are longer than they need to be, combining multiple independent pieces of data and stringing them together with commas.

Something like this:

Like the style of Adorno and Habermas, two Critical Theorists popular in the literary criticism field, we like to weave together different trains of thought, since this helps drive a narrative that the reader can relate to, and the New Yorker and the NY Times (since arguably they hire their writers with a recent academic background in a journalistic or literary discipline, often swimming in this style of writing, which dates from a particular elitist conception of writing you might find in Dialectic of Enlightenment or Adorno's works of cultural critique) like to make the reader work for it, since this perhaps contributes to the high literary feel of the paper.
