> Can you point me to the warning that was raised in Python 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9?

AIUI, No warning was raised because the PEP 484 functionality that was changed was at the time identified as provisional, and not subject to the deprecation policy, which excludes provisional features.

The lack of warning, but not rationale, is explicitly noted in PEP 563.

This is a direct listing. Sure they could open up a private market so their investors could sell for Bitcoin, but:

1. I bet most shareholders already have plenty of crypto and should diversify.

2. Opening up a private market for Bitcoin-only sales really doesn’t help liquidity much.

It’s important to remember - this wasn’t a move for Coinbase to raise money, it was to enable people who have shares in Coinbase to be able to more easily sell.
Chess.com not only ran forums but held community events like collaborative games vs master players early on. This just seems to be copying the community aspect of MOOCs and incorporating that into a chess course promoted by a strong brand (Garry Kasparov). It's pretty derivative.
Sure, we have all that. And maybe I'm just wired differently. I haven't made any real connections or friendships with my virtual coworkers over the past year. In the past when I joined a new IRL team, I'd have some budding friendships after a few team lunches.

Maybe it's because there are hardly any actual real personal bonding moments. For example, lunch with 10 talking heads on a VC is insane to me since you can't have more than one conversation at once, and any conversation you have has to be with the entire group. You can't pick up on something someone said, realize someone else has the same interest as you and go sit next to them and talk it out. You have to have the 1:1 conversation in front of the whole group, or leave the group.

That's just one example of why it seems so difficult to make real, genuine friendships at work now.

Hi Jeff,

While I don't like ads, and so by association I blindly don't like FLoC or cookies, I've been following your comments via RSS out of interest and I'd like to say thanks for always popping up in these threads to untangle some of the misconceptions (from your point of view).

That doesn't necessarily mean that I, or others, trust what Google, as a business, might do tomorrow compared to what it says today but given how little the wider world tends to hear from Google (that isn't editorialised in some sense), it's nice to see Google employees engaging on Hacker News :)
The data is definitely not publicly scraped. I downloaded the data set. Phone number, location, date of birth etc were always private. It's possible that they have a private API that shares the data to advertisers and that might have been scraped. I created https://fbleak.com to show masked data to users to show the extent of the data leak.
The original point was apparently that the company's only business is operating one deli, so the fact that it engaged the services of a company in Macau doesn't really seem to affect that, although it might mean that it's likely to be involved in money laundering and normal investors aren't losing their money.
Not to mention that this only really makes it more difficult for businesses who haven't already infected the web with things like social media buttons, widgets, or analytics scripts.

Neither Facebook nor Google require third party cookies to function, and I doubt FLoC would make any difference when they can already slurp up so much data that is voluntarily provided by other people without your consent (your address book, for example). Google even goes one step further by connecting your Google account directly to the browser, but there's also a reason why your Facebook login will never expire unless you force it to.

This whole thing feels like paying lip-service to privacy to keep people distracted from the reality that a cadre of 90s/00s tech giants have essentially usurped the web.

Most people on the internet use a web browser developed by a search engine company that evolved into a faceless advertising giant, after all.

You are getting ridiculous at this point. Probably some things could be done to improve the binary size, but the maintainers of Go don’t have unlimited time. Russ showed that Go is not growing binary sizes. Your article is misleading and at best poorly worded. When you add more code your binaries get bigger. Is that a surprise to you? If Go binary size is a critical concern for you, you could be helping solve the problem, but you are just complaining.

When I was studying cognitive modelling at Waterloo, I remember more than a few people who were looking at micro and nano structures within neurons to see if the functionality was far more than simply as an amplifier and the like. In fact, one of the more intriguing ideas was one brought up by Penrose (I believe) where he believed in the possibility that there is a device within the neuron that could allow for some primitive form of quantum computation.

Honestly, while I felt his idea was over reaching, the general idea that quantum noise can effect such a chaotic system was not entirely out of belief for me.
I think scientists should consider a third possibility. That brains overall are actually far more computationally complex (or has far more state-based, CPU-like-behavior) than it needs to be for the intelligence involved in human actions.

It seems plausible to me that the smaller the detail space one goes in, the more overall computation is limited by data-movement bandwidth rather than discreet computation operations. Intel has a couple extra CPUs in just sitting on top of their regular CPUs (manage engine and all-that). GPU computation is often bandwidth limited as well. So basically, perhaps it's possible to do storage and computation in multiple fashions in the brain and nature being nature, does all of them 'cause nothing prevents it. And that ultimately results in computation that might band width efficient but which only a bit of the CPU-like-processes because there isn't a way do things other ways.
They've already responded that their use of "alloc", which is designed more for userspace, is just a temporary thing that they plan to replace before any serious submissions.

I’m puzzled. The sentences I quote are straight from the article, and it doesn’t go much further than that. It’s five paragraphs long. It doesn’t show any possibilities for reversal or offer an alternative scenario.

All it offers is a meaningless “it’s up to us what happens next”. Where is the information to the contrary you see?

It's to avoid the very specific form of corruption via kickbacks, essentially -- and if you look at the history of how politicians used to spend money in the US, you'll see that it is actually quite effective at this, and that it was once a gigantic problem -- and continues to be in some countries today.

You're right that it does nothing about other forms of influence like the revolving door.

And like I said, it comes at a tremendous cost of efficiency and quality. It's not trying to strike a balance between corruption and efficiency/quality, it's trying to explicitly minimize corruption at the expense of efficiency/quality.

"The government" is a massive institution inclusive of multiple separate power bases, agencies, motivations, responsibilities, and bosses.

I don't necessarily see a problem with this on an n of 1 scale. Strongly held priors are not going to be updated by a single piece of research, and for the most part I don't feel they should be. Single studies in biology these days are pretty much never good enough to justify that. If over time many studies build up that's a different story. Perhaps there should be more review articles on HN rather than the focus on original research reports.

What the last year has done was to force knee-jerk 'butts in seats' mentality managers to experiment with remote work. It sure seems like the bottom line results haven't proven remote work to be a failure, and while some old timers may force everyone back to the office, I think many are going to be a lot more open to remote work where they never would've considered it in the pre-pandemic era.

> A reusable rocket must be more robust to do what it do while also being much more difficult to accomplish. It's also how we increase safety, which will happen with rapid reusuability.

> A reusuable rocket cannot afford to cut corner like an expendable rocket.

I don't buy this logic, and seems rather hand-wavy. Soyuz and it's launch vehicle are not reusable, for instance, and still holds the safety record for launch vehicles.

> Just because a rocket is more expensive doesn't mean it's safer.

Of course not. But a pressure to drive the per-launch cost downwards will indeed lead to shortcuts being taken. We won't actually know how safe the vehicle is until it's launched successfully a great number of times.

> The fact that SpaceX is launching more rockets than everyone else

That's just factually incorrect.

> it will be a safer vehicle due to rapid increase in flight experience

I'm not so sure that's how this works. Starship was never considered as a lunar-bound vehicle - and whatever lander module they're going to build will be a brand new design, designed by folks who've never built a lander before (pretty much all space agencies/corps are in this boat right now). There's no way launching satellites into LEO or even visiting the ISS (also in LEO) builds any sort of experience for landing on the moon.

> They're not cutting corners here.

NASA certainly is, by having a single design. We'll have no idea if it's even a good design - with no reference for an alternative.

One thing is for sure though... the lander will look like it's out of Star Wars and will have some silly name.
We have made it extremely expensive to build new housing in much of the United States.

Between Byzantine development regulations, density and growth caps, local zoning boards that allow any development to be dragged through years of negotiation as long as neighbors show up for meetings, the actual “building” part is very hard to get to. Beyond the cost of lawyers, years of property taxes paid while negotiations stall, etc., the years-long timescale of these developments also makes financing hard to come by, limiting the number of projects in progress at any given time.

No surprise that the result is not enough housing, and a huge increase in price: demand is growing and relatively inelastic — the population keeps going up and everyone needs housing!

You're misinformed. Many extensions work, they are progressively being re-enabled over time, and on the nightly version they are all available, although whether they actually work or not depends on the state of the underlying APIs. The reason for the whitelist model, is that when they swapped to the new mobile browser engine, the underpinnings of many of the extension APIs had to be reimplemented, and they are not all online or bug-free yet.

Gate drivers are discrete parts and aren't integrated into microcontorllers because they require high voltages (12/24V vs 3.3V) amongst many other reasons.

They also have to be located close to the IGBT and the designers would want it as a separate part because it gives them enormous flexibility. You aren't saving much by adding a gate driver to a micro and I can't think of any micro that has it integrated. There are simple things like motor drivers, etc. that may have a gate driver integrated but that's not a micro and those are also built on large nodes -- much larger than nodes used for microcontrollers.

FWIW: I design advanced node (20-5nm) ASICs for a living, and have designed on older nodes before. I've also worked in power electronics.
I think the solution has to be some kind of hybrid arrangement. Anyone who is fighting strongly for 100% remote teams doesn't understand that some folks just don't have a good situation to work from home. Likewise, an aggressive office-only policy fails to see how adding flexibility to people's work lives can be a huge boon to productivity and happiness.
> My money in my bank is very safe and it doesn't cost me anything.

Your money is safe, your wealth is not. Taking the US as a reference, it is official government policy that if you store your wealth as money then it has a half life of 35 years.

> Bitcoin is very very volatile and just because it went up the last x years, doesn't make it stable or trustworthy.

I was sneaky in my wording - I'm a gold bug and think Bitcoin is worthless. Nevertheless, a rational person who was interested in bitcoin would probably note that whatever its bad points it is simply not subject to the sort of technical intervention that makes fiat untrustworthy.

Also, using gold as a reference, the unofficial policy half life looks more like 12 years. Using the M2, maybe 14 years.
Ah, I'm guessing it's the loop that kills you. Arrays/tensors are supposed to be used as a whole, I imagine e.g. x=val**2 would be much faster.

I'm indexing one array with another e.g. x=y[z] to pull out all the values I want at once into another array for processing. And not using a python loop for the expensive part.
> Superheavy (the first stage) is huge and will land directly on the launch tower instead of using landing legs - to reduce turnaround times. This is innovative and completely unproven. And a RUD would at the very least put the launch tower out of commission for a while.

I strongly suspect that they will be building many identical launch towers, it's pretty much their modus operandi and it makes sense. They've already had two Starships queued up at the launch pad for testing. Once they further improve the factory they'll probably need to build out more pads so they can keep the launch cadence up and free up space in the high bay. They're going to need to perfect that process if they are serious about eventually doing thousands of flights per year and sending hundreds of ships to Mars per conjunction. That's going to need a lot of Starships, a lot of launch pads, and probably several factories.
I spent the good part of last night compiling a previous version of nodejs to try out quic. I wanted to see if it could replace webrtc for a multiplayer game.
