The faction of people that don't believe you are British if you aren't white has to be minority of people. Most of the people that may have brought up the subject are in their Winter years now.

Black people make up 3% of the UK population according to a quick Google search. If there are 7 black people in his company of ~250, that's almost 3%. This is just one data point but it's the one he's using in his post and getting upset over the lack of black representation, when it's proportionate with the overall ratio of ethnicities in the wider population.
Interchange fees for credit cards are about 1.5% + 10c. For debit cards its even less.
Yes, the optimization goal (the objective function) is a major factor in the function of algorithmic systems. I'm not sure bias is the best word to use here, however.

It is a known challenge to align the designed purpose of an algorithm with actual optimization metrics. For instance, recommendation systems may have the purpose of improving user experience, but if time-on-site metrics are used as the optimization function, there can be unexpected results.
That's the same rule, rather than an exception. You don't want to influence the other investors because you haven't "already made the bet".
Data from Israel suggests that the Pfizer/Biontech vaccine prevents 97% of symptomatic and 94% of asymptomatic cases.

(After the intial trial phases had concluded Pfizer only reported how many symptomatic cases were prevented which might be the "95%" number you have in mind)
Swinging is a relatively mainstream lifestyle (what, there was even an Ang “Hulk” Lee movie surrounding it). Polyamory is a more fringe culture. It requires a degree of thoughtfulness that’s way beyond my level of emotional intelligence. Swingers on the other hand can just be a couple with a high level of trust and companionship.

Then, having and raising children “properly” requires an even higher level of pair bonding magic.
Also known as equivalent series resistance. This should be very low for a decent capacitor in reasonable condition.
I found gRPC not particularly fast on a per-message basis unless you're using the streaming feature. If you have iterated calls, consider streaming instead.

Because it supports full duplex streaming, there's a risk of tunneling your own less than fully specified protocol on top of gRPC. In some circumstances that may be worth taking advantage of, because gRPC takes care of session management, reconnecting, authorization (i.e. it has ways for you to add authorization, like headers) etc.

If you need queuing I think you should use a queue instead.
Slowly but surely, the trend of dissatisfaction with Google and Apple is increasing and I welcome it.

The status regarding App Stores are reaching the boiling point and once they do, there is no going back.

This decade is really going to an opposite of the last. The last decade saw the rise of Big Tech and their absolute domination in their sphere of influence. This decade is going to see the regulation of Big Tech, where Apple and Google (and I hope Twitter and Facebook) are going to painfully realise they are not the government, nor are they lawmakers. So their "terms of use" are not laws, and finally we won't see anymore comments on HN regarding "their platform, they can do whatever they want".
So this isn’t good news for the global vaccine rollout is it? It’s a bit hard to decode what the “so what” is, so appreciate if someone can simplify and synthesise.
There's a level above which you can be gainfully employed though.

In my private projects I use cutting-edge frameworks, write tests (which actually test at that), solve algorithmic problems and learn new languages.

None of this takes place at work and still I get paid - mostly because what I'm doing for a living is akin to brick laying, since it was optimised for predictable outcomes(hilariously enough having tested code is not part of this optimisation - hiring a QA team once the budget for that is approved is, though).

There was no cryptography on the iPad. Why is everyone insisting this is GP's fault when it's clearly a massive middle finger on Apple's part?
Black has a negative connotation because of its association with death. That is in fact the origin of the term "blacklist" - a list of people associated with the execution of Charles II's father. It's also the origin of the term "black day" - a day of death and, by extension, disaster.

While this association is not in any way "natural" or necessary, and it's not even universal, it is still extraordinarily old - dating all the way to Ancient Egypt and influencing European culture from there to now. And thus, it is extraordinarily hard to remove by playing language games with one word.

In Russia we have a joke that would roughly translate to this:

Lesson in the primary school. Teacher says: "Kids, today we will be learning letter 'A'. Who can tell me some words that start with this letter?" Kids: "Apple! Address! Adventure!" One boy, Vova, says quietly: "Ass." "How rude, Vova!", the teacher exclaims, "There is no such word in English!". Vova, quietly: "How strange... Ass is there, but the word is not?"

Sums it up pretty well, I think.

Any project to put wikipedia in some sort of blockchain hosting solution, or maybe like ipfs/zeronet/i2p?

I've also already brought up that wikipedia articles are not categorized or labelled by field/domain, and it makes it very hard to build list of articles if you want to browse them offline.

Kiwix is great, and "good article" are nice, but if articles are not properly labelled, then it becomes much harder to browse wikipedia, in my view. For example I would like to browse articles about natural history or physics. I cannot really do that.

I guess a decent natural language algorithm would also easily be able to label articles pretty accurately, but I believe any serious author/editor of a wikipedia article should be asked to give at least 3 labels on a article. Dewey is already a simple enough type of classification.

For example I'm pretty sure that Wikipedia is FILLED with articles on movies and tv shows and romance books, which are things I don't have any interest in.
Usually a signature worth 60m is from somebody stupendously famous and on an object that is also famous. Things like signing a record breaking baseball. That somebody would pay nonzero dollars for a signature is not surprising. That somebody would pay millions of dollars for a signature from a previously unknown and unremarkable artist... that's surprising.
The dangers of building on a platform that is unregulated.

Really a meaningless gesture if you ask me, reluctantly following Apple’s lead. A meager attempt to get regulators off their back.

I believe Google & Apple should not be allowed to take a percentage at all. It should be a tiered system of fees, like a subscription or something. Sure, their systems help distribute and promote discovery of our apps, so let us pay for that. It should be a yearly fee appropriate for this service.

The idea they they deserve to hover up a percentage of everyone’s business in perpetuity is completely bonkers. They don’t deserve it. But they do deserve to be paid for running the app store infrastructure and services.

I think this is quite normal for larger corporations. At any given time they operate on multiple layers and they may not even be compatible with each other: there's the public image of the company, revenue targets, political pirouette,or internal battles between departments.

I believe the bias generally comes from the sources - "reputable" (and generally liberal) English language sources tend to take a deferential tone towards Obama, even while criticizing him, because of the political significance of his presidency.

This is likely exacerbated by the fact that there are very few "reputable" right-wing English language sources that can be cited on Wikipedia. Similarly, sources from the Middle-East or Russia, which are less likely to be cited, would probably take a less charitable view as well.

And yes, I've been using Fritzboxes (upgraded in 2017 for better wifi, to another Fritzbox) since 2011, and it:

* has been getting updates for many years.

It's not the prettiest, nor does it go for (my preferred) rack-mounted look, but it works and it lives in a broom closet anyway.

> That doesn't really work for games, where your work is on the scale of 0.1ms, and you might call the same function 100's of times in 16ms. Calling update_object() 1000 times an interval isn't actually a problem, when it's only taking 5% of your overall frame budget (on average). Games also have the constraint of not wanting your profiling to throw off the game speed itself, it needs to run very fast.

I'm confused, because the thing sampling measures is how much of your frame budget goes to each function. And sampling works equally well regardless of how fast your functions are.

But I do agree that looking for variance and focusing on frames that take too long are important.

Thinking maybe the solution is to have a new device, unplugged from cellular comms altogether. The principle being, if you don't have wifi, you don't need your internet social messenger communities, and if it's urgent, you can tether. Something with a lens cap for the camera, no mic/speakers without an external headset, physical dip swtiches for individual sensors (GPS, wifi, accelerometer, etc) A linux or bsd kernel, with a removable SD card for modules, and some basic mesh network capabilities.

A variation of the CutiePi or PinePhone could do it. It's time for normal people to compartmentalize their tech the way hackers traditionally have.

> The solution is to not use app stores

Before smartphones, I was a "tech savvy" computer user. I would install lots of software on my computer from the internet. But I wouldn't necessarily recommend the same for people that looked to me for computer advice. Many people would go to a store and buy a box with a disc in it, which was something you could trust because incentives aligned. Stores would prefer to only carry trustworthy software (in a box) to maintain their reputation as a good store, competitive with other stores. But similarly, I would look to web sites I trusted for my software. The most sophisticated users would look to peer-reviewed, open source software, but this involves knowing either how to review it yourself, or knowing who else to trust as having reviewed it.

Smartphones could've evolved to work like the above, perhaps relying on a USB port for software installs, with options to install directly from developers on the internet, but Apple had already learned from iTunes how to use control to both ensure a pretty good experience for users while also getting a lot of money for it. Google may never have gained enough traction with Android if they didn't build the Play Store and introduce convenience and a sense of trust in that store.

So it's really hard to picture a way that this could've evolved without those stores, such that critical mass was reached on these platforms. It's also hard to envision a strong, competitive alternative. The "masses" choose convenience the vast majority of the time, and they also largely want to trust one source for their software needs. They do not want to figure out whether to trust lots of software providers.

There will always be bad actors who take advantage of concepts like "the open web", so how do you keep things open, but safe and trusted? Can you create a federated system that has "experts you trust" and "peers you trust" and then can go to their recommendations to see which software providers to trust? And wrap that into a pretty tidy interface that everyone can easily adopt? And have the trust system and the device platforms work nicely together to prevent "middle man" attacks?

There is no "the app". There are many apps.

The protocol is open, so you could even write your own app, or if you lack the skills or time to do so, commission somebody else to write one and nobody can stop you.

In contrast, the siloed "dictator companies" control API/protocol access so it's almost impossible to develop alternative applications.

I think that the most widely accepted definition of "cancelling culture" is suppressing someone that has opinions different than yours. For example you can cancel a comic that has different political views. Opposing to that, when you have someone representing you, either a voted politician or hired attorney, it is not cancel culture if you disagree and want to be represented by someone else.

I find reactive stuff the best improvement in my productivity since Spring.

I use both RxJava and Reactor, and I sometimes have a one page function that could have been an entire application in the past.

My manager once asked me if we can have a complex endpoint to page data from multiple collections on multiple MongoDB clusters (paging is for backwards compatibility with some clients) and do it efficiently. This requires sorting query results on each of the clusters, then merging the streams of data into a sorted stream and then do that paging manually on the resulting stream. You also need to deal with various error handling and retry requirements.

He asked this 20 minutes before our 1:1 and I had working endpoint before we started it.

Does it have steep learning curve? Sure. But it is totally worth it.

The important thing to know here is that it is not how you interpret the words that matter. Social justice isn’t asking how github or existing developers feel because it isn’t a change that takes their feelings into account.
