The video made me curious about the Greek Church strategy. As described:

- 60% of professional frames are strikes.

- The Greek Church is rarely converted because bowlers prefer to go for "count", maximizing the number of pins they knock down in the second half of the frame. You can take a basically 100% chance of 3 pins, or a lower chance of 5 pins.

- Those 3 pins are worth 3 points, or 6 points if you bowled a strike last frame.

- Converting the Greek Church is not unachievable. The robot got it 40% of the time.

Assumptions:

- If you pick up the spare, you have a 60% chance of bowling a strike next frame, and a 40% chance of bowling a gutter ball for 0 pins. This is worth 5+6 points. (5 for the pins required to pick up the spare, and 6 for the 60% chance of 10 pins on the next shot you take.)

- If you attempt to pick up the spare, you have some chance of succeeding, and otherwise, you'll hit 1 pin.

- If you don't even attempt to pick up the spare, you always hit 3 pins.

Under those assumptions, you're better off trying to get the spare if your success rate is more than 20% (and you didn't bowl a strike last frame), or if it's more than 29% and you did get a strike last frame. And picking up the spare only becomes more valuable if, during the 40% of frames when you don't bowl a strike, you do still hit some pins in the first half of the frame.

The professional bowler took 12 tries to convert a Greek Church. That implies a success rate well below where it would make sense to try to convert. But it might also reflect a lack of practice. If practice could get you to double that rate, it seems like people should be converting Greek Churches all the time.
This, i think, is where the US got it right, by making it clear that the people were granting rights to the government and not the other way around. My understanding is that the US government would have no standing to make laws limiting free speech (even if they wanted to try).

Ask HN: What was the first profession and why?
In my language if someone tells about a "representative(ness) of the oldest profession" he means an euphemism way to tell "a prostitute". But it is obviously a lie, because prostitutes cost money and money is a traders' invention. So, how do you thing, what profession was first and why do you think so? My opinion is that the first profession must be either trader or warrior, but I would like to listen to other opinions.
I quit purchasing Adobe software when they started selling it as a subscription. They had pissed on me way too many times by then and I couldn't stand the idea of buying into that bullshit. I've made a point to never buy any of their stuff again.

I never did do a lot of graphic work and most of what I need to do now can be done in Pixelmator. I think I paid $30 for that over 5 years ago.

Can't read with the paywall, and this is probably contrary to the message of the article, but this interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6ZFzEW7_Q4) with a homeless heroin adict made a great impression on me. He comes off as both extremely self-aware and honest.
The bias (I wish they used that word) between the 7-10 split and the Greek Church was a good, practical example of how you have to be careful with stats.
We've since moved to ECS, but we used Cloud66 for a few years, which provided a Heroku-like deployment experience on our own EC2 instances.
That's not quite accurate. You average account age for credit lines affects your credit score. Banks do not report depository accounts to the credit bureaus because they are not lines of credit, they are liabilities.

They do report to a separate group of risk-scoring companies, but this is mostly to gate fraudsters. Frequently switching checking/savings accounts will have no bearing on your ability to make large purchases on credit. If you happen to close credit cards frequently enough, regardless of whether they are issued by banks, your score could be impacted by reducing your average account age.
To me, seems the real problem is, why are tunnels built in the US orders of magnitude more expensive than tunnels built literally anywhere else? It's a people problem, not a technical one. There are plenty of tunnel projects around the world that are in my opinion far more valuable than shuffling around private cars (the scale of public transit through such tunnels is many orders of magnitude more impactful). But until the US gets its labor costs in check building infrastructure is poor cost-value ratio there.

Was the O18 water also extracted from a cascade of electrolysis cells? If so, was it extra low in deuterium?

My understanding is that, at least during WWII, Norway had a bunch of hydro power they used for electrolysis to produce hydrogen in order to produce ammonia via the Haber process. Deuterium is accelerated about half as strongly as regular hydrogen in the electrolysis cells. If you connect up your electrolysis cells in series, the small gradient in hydrogen isotopes you get across each cell accumulates across the cascade, and also the regular hydrogen leaves as a gas at a higher rate. At least that's my understanding, which would also imply the end of the cascade that's depleted of deuterium is also enriched in heavy oxygen isotopes.
That's even a bit debatable. Weed is definitely better now than in the Stone Age (it got stronger when prohibition started coming down hard on it), and they might have had access to thinks like shrooms, but we have stuff like LSD and MDMA. They also could have had access to coca, which would have produced a nice, mild high by chewing the leaves, without the full on "coked out" feeling. Stone Age people also were able to ferment things, so, alcohol would have been available.
Define “hatred”. Looks like a vague law open for misinterpretation and abuse.

hate your in-laws ? Call the police on their “hate speech” during family dinner. Better yet, provide Alexa recording.

To enforce appropriate application of this law enable auto-detection and auto-reporting of hate speech to authorities by smart home devices. Fight racism and wrongthink with AI, call this progressive program “The Big Brother”.
By the working analogy here, Linux is also at a disadvantage because it doesn’t run the majority of commercially supported consumer software yet many people still use it. It has shown that people are willing to choose free options even if it’s technically less advanced than closed options. A fully featured de10-nano board costs ~$150 [1] so it’s readily accessible, at least in comparison to desktop pcs.

This is so irresponsible to disclose vulnerabilities this way. There is a process that many people have worked hard to create whereby vulnerabilities can be disclosed, patched--you can even be rewarded!--and both fix and bug are eventually made public in proper time.

That's a plague amongst modern management and corporate operations, you return amazing numbers by cutting all your inventory and production slack and it works fantastically, until a slight hiccup occurs and it fucks your production for years to come. But that is the next guy's problem, not yours.

Efficiency and Robustness are very often a tradeoff, the more efficient you are, the more prone your entire operation is to minor disruptions.

Something akin to overfitting in machine learning.

Also something to consider is what happens when the entire economy is forced in that direction, where you either cut everything to the bone for the sake of efficiency, or go out of business due to competition.
You're presuming judicial review. The arbiter result is final and binding. Appeals are exhausted. You may only argue the arbitration section under a very very limited set of choices under the arbitration act. And only the arbitration section. The rest of the agreement can be capricious, unfair, and malicious. That's for the arbiter to decide on, however.

And the arbiter only gets to keep making money by hearing "cases" as long as they don't rule against the company.

The problem is the court system has chosen to liberally interpret the arbitration act against the citizenry.

Now show me all these agreements being "thrown out". What's instead happening is state laws attempting to protect the citizenry being thrown out instead.

It'd be good to raise the priority of process-wide WX and design out RCEs of this type once and for all. I am disappointed that Wasm is on the exploit chain for a bug like this, as I still feel responsible in some way.

I still think your experience is a bit on the extreme side but I'll still admit you've got me thinking: not because I've seen ORM causing much problems (I can use them just fine with indexes and custom SQL) but because maybe there is a better way.

Last I read up on MyBatis is probably >10 years ago and IIRC at that point it seemed like a manifestation of what the Rails guys teased us with:

<situps>
<up/>
<down/>
</situps>

but I'll admit:

- I've been wrong before

- things might have changed in 10 years

- I've always known there were cases for something else but maybe I should adjust my threshold

For anyone else who reads this, just be aware that many smart people are happily using JPA. :-)
> Within an hour of V8 pushing the fix for this, our build automation alerted me that it had picked up the patch and built a new release of the Workers Runtime for us. I clicked a button to start rolling it out. After quick one-click approvals from EM and SRE, the release went to canary. After running there for a short time to verify no problems, I clicked to roll it out world-wide, which is in progress now. It will be everywhere within a couple hours. Rolling out an update like this causes no visible impact to customers.

Great workflow! I long for the day when I can start for a company that actually has their automation as efficient as this.

Few question, do you have a way of differentiating critical patches as this? If so, does that trigger an alert for the on-call person? Or do you still wait until working hours before such a change is pushed?
Interesting. I wonder if the market can only support managed services when it’s provided directly by the cloud provider like AWS. I assume Elastic has to add margins to cover for their existence, which make them less competitive with AWS.

This sounds a little unfair, even if I agree with the argument that they’re free to fork OSS software and do whatever the fuck they want.

> “HSBC has no appetite for direct exposure to virtual currencies and limited appetite to facilitate products or securities that derive their value from VCs (virtual currencies),” HSBC said in a statement.

But you wouldn't be? This is a product literally called "InvestDirect" where private individuals are buying stocks and assuming all the risk.

If you don't want to offer margin on virtual currency products, more power to you, that is your risk. But if customers are buying with cash, it seems pretty suspect for the bank to claim that is increasing the bank's risk exposure.

Honestly it wouldn't be the worst idea to have a "Net Neutrality" for brokers.

FWIW, landlords often include unenforceable terms with respect to lease break fees [1]. This is a common pattern [2].

In my only experience with breaking a lease, my lawyer advised me to inform my landlord that I was aware of California state law, and then wait for them to negotiate. They initially counter-offered that I pay 2.5 months to break the lease, and ultimately agreed to 1 month. Probably harder to do during COVID, though, with such high vacancy rates.

Why are you conflating personal wealth with political campaigns?
"People who are dedicated."

I think it's more about people who want some sort of status or virtue signaling. There are plenty of successful start ups in other cities like Seattle, NYC, NOVA, Austin, etc.

I think the reason people are "nitpicking" is because the majority of people don't live in SV. So if anything, talking about dev salary and saying $400k is barely enough, one would have to cherry pick data from SV to justify that statement.
To me this is a very intuitive presentation of pricing, so not sure what you are referring to as a dark pattern. There are three clearly laid-out options:

1. No contract, pay monthly

2. Annual contract, pay monthly (cheaper than 1)

3. Annual contract, pay in one go (cheaper than 1 & 2)

You pick one of the three options and check out. Where exactly is the confusion?

It should also be mentioned that worldwide suppliers 1 and 3 had a big loss from power outages in Texas in February, and then supplier 2 had a fab burn down. But, if they hadn't canceled all their orders, it wouldn't be as bad a situation as it is.
> And what do you think your IDE calls?

The IDE doesn't invoke the build tool, it extracts the project structure from it. If the build tools has a sane model (i.e. maven or a gradle build that's maintained with discipline) then it will get an accurate picture of which sources should be built depending on which other ones, and can use that combined with its own knowledge of which files have been edited to do incremental compilation and even e.g. re-run affected unit tests but not others.

> Also, NOT building with the project’s build tool is a giant red flag of doing something bad. That way you are testing different things then what will run after deploy.

Using incremental compilation for release artifacts is a huge red flag IMO - how will you reproduce that same build in the future? So using it for local builds is a tradeoff: you get to iterate faster, but you have a divergence between your release build and the one you're iterating with. IME it's usually worthwhile (provided you're still running your full test suite as part of your release build).

So given that there's going to be a different code path running, is it important to be using the same build tool in those two cases? IMO no - the difference between maven building my code for release and my IDE building my code incrementally based on my maven project model isn't really any bigger than the difference between gradle building my code for release vs gradle building my code incrementally. If anything the fact that maven exposes the project model in a stable form (such that my IDE is able to use it) is an argument that those builds will be more consistent.
Keep in mind that every culture has blasphemy laws. What you're seeing here is not the removal of blasphemy laws, but the culture's switch from one god to another.

This was how it started and this was also what most news reported on so I do not believe that it misses the point.

He changed it after someone complained about it.

>That he doesn't have the innate wiring to recognise those subtle cues makes it more necessary for him to listen and take action on his behaviour because he is seen as the person behind the FSF and his actions and opinions reflect on the entire community.

This is a very ableist/sanist view. I would argue that it is the neurotypicals that should put the extra effort to be more explicit and not assume stuff.
This is indeed how the Chinese constitution is written.
What I expect to happen when I do `console.log(obj)` is that it called `obj.toString()` which means I'd expect it to print `[object Object]` and that if I wanted to see all the values I'd have to either serialize the object `console.log(JSON.stringify(obj))` or manually generate a string `console.log(`field1: ${obj.field1}, field2: ${obj.field2}`);

The fact that the browser provides me this convenience of a link to an expandable live object is a bonus feature. I'm glad it doesn't try to deep copy the object. If it did it would make console.log useless because of the performance overhead.

If you want to capture all the fields then `console.log({...obj})` would work. But of course any of those fields that are references to objects will be live. I wouldn't expect any thing else. A print function shouldn't be required to figure out if your deep references are circular which would be required if you wanted deep copies.
Distrokid did something like this to me also. I wanted to cancel one week after renewal to avoid being auto-billed the next time around, but it seemed to immediately remove our tracks from distribution, etc.
I once had a chat with a psychiatrist who started their own practice after working as director of a rehab facility for several years...

I shared with them an idea I had at the time about the "usefulness" of drugs in terms of how much more productive or creative they make someone vs. how much damage they do to the body, putting them into a two-dimensional plane like the political matrix.

Surprisingly, they told me that for every individual, they could place the same drugs into different quadrants on that plane.

1. While this is technically become realer and realer every day, it's becoming less and less logistically due to regulation.

2. Eventually people will realize that the frictionless experience of crypto is also its greatest security risk[0]. Why do you think the Winklevoss twins store their wallet backup codes in...you guessed it...BANKS! ha.[1]

The Winklevosses came up with an elaborate system to store and secure their own private keys. They cut up printouts of their private keys into pieces and then distributed them in envelopes to safe deposit boxes around the country, so if one envelope were stolen the thief would not have the entire key.
