An explanation I am not seeing: People may self-report opinions of their own performance that they feel are socially acceptable or socially protective of themselves. So it reverts to the mean because it remains within The Overton Window so to speak.

If your objective performance falls far outside the norm, even if you know it and are confident this is true, people may not accept that fact and trying to insist on getting credit for it won't get you credit. It will get push-back. It will get denial. It may even result in harassment.

If your objective performance is poor, you may be subconsciously hoping to influence the outcome positively. Most forms of assessment aren't entirely objective. To whatever degree you can protect yourself from negative social consequences by suggesting to other people that your performance was within some acceptable and expected norm, it is in your best interest to do so.

People who habitually do this kind of thing at work or in other socially meaningful settings may be unable to turn that habit off for purposes of a psychological study. They may not even be consciously aware of it. It's just a thing they do without really planning it. It's what they have always done.

For easy tasks, it may have the most impact to fudge a little and say "My performance is sort of normal-ish. Nothing to see here. Move along." whether you perform abnormally well or abysmally. Those are tasks most likely to not matter so much, not have high stakes, be easily done by just about anyone and so on.

In other words, if you suck at taking out the trash, probably anyone in the office can gather up the trash and take it out. It's not likely to be a firing offense. They will just have someone else do it who doesn't drop everything everywhere all the time and never bother you about your failure to be good at it.

But if they hired you for your PhD in mathematics, your understanding of complex math actually matters. You aren't readily replaceable. Trying to fudge about how well you understand it and claim greater ability than you have is something people will take great offense at. Being a little modest about it can help you keep your job while reducing expectations.

There can be a lot of benefits to managing the expectations of other people who know you can do something that's hard but don't understand the conditions under which you can pull that off, how much prep time you need, etc. It is actively problematic for everyone to think you can do (amazing thing) anytime and all the time with no lead time and no recovery time. That's a great recipe for burn out and other disasters.

I don't know how much you can generalise from my story, but both of my parents came from middle class families, they got the money to buy our first studio apartment from them, father got jobs through family connections. But he was a weak willed man who got evertyhing from his parents and had no ambition or drive, he fumbled several easy jobs, I can remember the arguments he got into with my mother over not working saturdays because "it's not worth it". At some point he got in to gambling too. Mother was unstable personality and she detiriorated as father was screwing up, leading to both sides of the family cutting us off (because of how hostile she was) - very self entitled in the sense that she expected things to be a certain way and others were to make it happen for her (not in the sefish way tho, she invested most of what she had into us, even if it wasn't in best ways). So those two were just a dystfunctional feedback loop, and yet somehow they ended up having 6 kids.

Producers’ Delicate Task of Dealing with the Passing of an Actor Mid-Production
There's a difference between how many Mobile Coin premined (all of them) and how many they currently own, aren't available for sale and was sold for partners at what price.

Unfortunately their CEO has made no comment about this distribution or why they chose this as their coin distribution strategy. The topic is nuanced but it is very suspect they didn't select a more fair strategy.
Unfortunately, your comments exclusively address a hypothetical scenario. Even if there were solid evidence that "a vaccine will kill people," the likelihood of that occurring currently appears to be orders of magnitude less than the likelihood of having the same occur from actually having COVID.

As someone else pointed out here, you're about as statistically likely to die in a car wreck on your way to get the vaccine than you are to have (not die from) a blood clot from it.

> Is there any practical reason to enrich Uranium to 60%?

Yes.

Going from 2% -> 90% first requires you to go from 2% -> 60% both in the mathematical sense (2->60->90) and in the process sense (it's a lot less work to from 60% -> 90% than it is from 2% -> 90%) and also in the sense that you to first develop the technology to enrich uranium to various levels, then develop the technology to enrich it to that level at scale, enriching to 2% isn't that hard, enriching to 60% is hard, enriching to 90% is harder but the leap from 2->60 is a lot harder than the leap from 60->90.

In short, no, I don't think there is any practical reason to enrich to 60% unless your intention is to either enrich to weapons grade or as a threat to do so.
> This as you must be aware, is because first class alternative stores are not possible on Android.

No one is mandating first class alternative stores on iOS, merely the ability to download apps from third party stores or to sideload .ipa files.

> This is made up and has no validity.

Your Apple bashing is baseless and has no place in a reasoned discussion such as this.

> More fantasy. After years of public statements to the contrary this is not realistic.

Your lack of sources and petty commentary debases this conversation and discredits your own position.

> They may hold the greatest fault, but facilitating scammers and then blaming them is kinda silly.

Allowing alternative app stores is no more facilitating scammers than the present situation of Apple failing to enforce its own app store's promises and failing to prosecute existing scammers.

> Apple is taking responsibility for reducing scams. Let’s not stop them.

A claim with zero evidence.

> A claim with zero evidence.

How many scam apps with annual revenue of $5m were on the App Store in 2010?

> There can be simply more scams being attempted and so more slipping through. Indeed this would be expected in a growing market.

A claim with zero evidence.

> The only one along with everyone else who understands computer science.

This is made up and has no validity.

> Nobody in history has ever produced a perfectly secure operating system.

It is clear from this discussion that you are not a fan of Apple. Please seek to reduce your own bias when attempting to have a serious conversation.

> No anti-trust regulator would allow Apple to block apps installed by other stores.

When was the last time any regulator acted against Apple in a substantiative way, in the United States?

> This is of course nonsense.

A claim with zero evidence.

> Stores won’t compete on security. They’ll compete for customers using all the usual mechanisms - buying exclusives, tying their stores to other services and products, heavy marketing, and discrediting their competitors.

Not only does that ignore the popular niche of security- or privacy-oriented technology (e.g. the Tor browser, the Blackphone, Telegram, Signal, the entire following article,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-focused_operating_sys...

It also ignores that projects in the smartphone space such as F-Droid, or even Librem Purism or Pinephone, all revolve around business models that are not based on the sort of cutthroat commercialism you believe is ubiquitous. Certainly it is behavior that Apple does not indulge in.

> Even if a store did exist that was less scammy than Apple’s, it simply wouldn’t have everything a customer wanted anyway.

A claim with zero evidence.

The site’s guiding principle is “intellectual curiosity”. That’s why Dang “singles out” your comment (which he’s not really doing, he often pulls people up for off-topic rage commenting).

> But the same applies to many, many other discussions on HN

You’re conflating your style of comment with posted articles, where the author explores a topic, discusses it in depth and proposes a solution. And sure, sometimes those kinds of articles convey some anger or stir some in the reader. But they still have to gratify intellectual curiosity to be considered good HN content.

Why don’t you try writing an article like that?
Boy have I got some news for you! :)

> such as the time it takes between saving code, switching back to Unity so it compiles

Rider Editor compiles on save, not sure how but I suspect more editors/extensions could do the same and probably will.

Also there's now support for incremental compilation as of 2021 iirc.

> Followed by the time it takes to start in Play mode

Check out Enter Play Mode settings as of 2020 iirc. You can enter play mode instantly if you're project is set up for it.

I'd also highly recommend using asmdefs to split your code base into logical chunks if you haven't already.
That's fine - my commentary is that this is not a scandal, though many on HN feel scandalized.
Your Apple bashing is really quite tiresome. Macs are serious machines and have grown in leaps and bounds over the past two decades. Are you seriously saying the de facto development platform for Silicon Valley startups, as well as the home for Apple Silicon, is no longer a “serious target”? No need to shill for Windows here.

And again, who Ukraine wants to align with is Ukraine's choice. Just like the US has no business demanding Cuba cannot align with the Soviet Union or Venezuela (threatening or especially invading them in response being morally reprehensible), Ukraine must be free and sovereign and in command of its own future.
Don't you have a potential malware problem as soon as sharing data between apps (i.e., having a hard disk with a persistent file system which multiple apps can access, even if serially/one at a time) becomes commonplace? Hard disks with persistent filesystems seem awfully useful.

as a nitpick, C64 wasn't really "before MS" - it booted to a BASIC which was derived from Microsoft BASIC!

People get annoyed that "international law" isn't really a think and is more like "international suggestions."
The article directly addresses this with it's list of requirements. Perhaps another privacy coin like Grin would be a better suggestion that at least fits most of their requirements.
To me, the fact we aren't given full control over when apps update is the main problem.

I would love to see more options in the serverless persistence space. Given the infinite combination of tradeoffs that exist with databases there's a lot of room for different solutions.

AWS Aurora Serverless v2 is close to what I'm looking for but think it's held back by trying to make non-serverless technology serverless.

Fauna is close but I don't really need global consistency and don't want to pay the 150ms latency price for it: https://status.fauna.com/
Why do you assume that people who are getting second shot syndrome would be the same people who would have asymptomatic COVID-19? That seems... far-fetched at best.

Although the relationship isn't clear and not clarified I find the article does a good job at addressing why they chose MobileCoin - the list of requirements.

If you look at it from Iran's perspective, why should they be responsible for building trust? They got jerked around by the last administration. Their sworn enemy, Israel, has nuclear capability, and the US and other nuclear powers have military bases within striking range of Iran.

While I personally am in favor of nuclear disarmament and anti-proliferation, it's very easy for me to say that, living in a country with nuclear weapons serving as deterrent. Iran logically wants to own that deterrent as well.

And at its base, even if they don't have immediate plans to enrich to the point where they could have a viable nuclear weapon, it's also a case of showing strength (in the negotiation sense): "we're tired of being jerked around; if you want us to come to the table, you have to see us as strong and take us seriously". I don't think they really care about presenting themselves as the "peaceful victim".

> After laying their intentions bare like this, why should anyone trust [Iran] with JCPOA 2.0?

Given what happened with 1.0, why should Iran trust the US with JCPOA 2.0?
In 2007 when distributed computing was still a New Kid On The Block, I shared an idea with a colleague for what I considered to be a good idea at the time:

Distributed computing for hire.

Families around the world have reasonable amounts of computing power that sits mostly unused; why not make a few bucks doing things similar to Folding@Home Seti@Home, but for a price? Get paid for your computations.

Of course this was before Bitcoin was a thing, and looking back, it feels naïve to have thought it could be successful. I certainly lacked the expertise to build such a thing. But I wasn't the only one thinking of it. Others tried it and appear to have failed. From 2011:

These days I'd be concerned to run somebody else's workload on my own equipment, lest the FBI/CIA/KGB/FSB/Interpol/SecretService/GRU show up at my door.

Still, an interesting thought especially given how powerful so many devices have become.
I think return to normalcy should be whenever everyone who wants a vax has received a vax.
>Surely the best way to convince people you are the peaceful victim

i'm not sure that convincing people of that would play well for domestic standing of an authoritarian regime. Even if there were no threat to the current Iranian regime from outside (which i suspect is a big if), a populist government, especially an authoritarian one, to stay in power has to play a strong national identity theme. So, one way or another, each step is making them closer to the bomb - only regime change from inside as the result of some rose/orange revolution may stop it, and it doesn't seem that there is any chance of it in the near decade or two (so delaying their progress until such a time is probably the best strategy, and that is what Obama's agreement was doing - delaying, not stopping/preventing, and the voting public's non-understanding of that approach is what tanked it as GOP were technically right in their attack of the agreement that it doesn't prevent the bomb in some decades down the road). Any bold external action i think would only fuel internal nationalist forces and thus would play into the regime hand.
The glue in a Macbook for the battery is wholly unnecessary when it can be pointed out that the argument for glue (waterproofing) doesn't even apply in their laptop space.

Their development philosophy makes sense on the face of it. People, properly empowered, left to work on what they think is best, might produce really great results.

Unfortunately most of the time they don't produce any results at all.

Last time I heard there was less than a dozen developers "in charge" of Steam. Everything else was an ancillary project that sprung up and shut down around it.
The smaller the level of volatility the smaller the problem. Cash in USD is good enough, not so long ago (still? I haven't kept up) cash is not at all good enough in Zimbabwe (unless you use a foreign currency like e.g. USD).
Again, that's not what is being asked.
>Active Directory is Microsoft's proprietary tech that is a modification of the Kerberos standard

And LDAP, and some DNS, and certs, etc. It's not just Kerberos; you're sounding ignorant here.

>Group permissions predate AD by decades

No one said otherwise, but it goes beyond basic POSIX groups with things like nested groups, delegated group permissions, etc.

>SSO in today's form is a web phenomenon

So is AD's...

Basically, you're proving my point.
I think there is a balance here. State run anti virus and malware agency seems also the wrong solution. The issue with granting power in cases like this is that it’s really hard to unwind it. What happens when the FBI wants to remote to your personal laptop to remove an exploit? How do you balance all this?

I have a sneaking suspicion that you can safely support tremendous community size if you don't have enragement-driven ordering of the feed. (I.e. strict chronological ordering only)

We tend to pick our online friends according to mostly shared values, the same as real-life friends. Enragement ML then proceeds to amplify the differences instead of letting you experience that you're mostly similar, radicalizing both partners in the long term.

A chronological order minimizes that experience simply by the probabilities - if most of your values overlap for everybody in the feed, the chances of you seeing a large chunk you do not want to see is small. You're occasionally reminded that you don't always agree, but it's in a context of lots of other posts that don't violate your values.

(Part two of the problem are searchable feeds, where groups of people just wait to keyword-snipe)

Volatility doesn't have to be an issue with a cryptocurrency tokens either, there are plenty of stablecoins backed by currencies and plenty of algorithmic stablecoins backed by other cryptocurrencies. At the moment the majority of these exist in public blockchains.

Total load, and immune stimulation can be different between infection and vaccine, as unintuitive as that might be.

This reminds me of a time at Red Hat when a worm was going around and infecting Red Hat systems, one of the engineers reverse engineered the worm and wanted to release it in the wild to fix the bug, legal wouldn’t let them. I think legal was right (for a public company) but this kind of shows the actual right response, in my opinion.

Keep in mind in like 1999, you didn’t expect upgrades via package managers online for most large customers so this was an appealing release vector.

PowerShell runs on top of dotNET, and the pipe operators pass structured data, xml or json.

It's not as fluid for me as a POSIX environment, 35 years of shell muscle memory.

PowerShell is a bumpy road: some commands are super powerful, and some bits have strange limitations.

But it's certainly encouraging that people are getting stuff done.
From my initial readings I _believe_ it's the backing out of intent. "Making action plans" and "provision of referrals" has also been mentioned so it could be both! I'm only looking at the lit reviews at the moment though.

In my experience, the "talking off the ledge" was always the most important part in the moment. I found that the follow up from someone who knows what they're doing helped keep me away from the ledge too.

I feel like a lot more work could be done in this area, but I'm not in psych and I wouldn't know where to contribute.
The assumption here is that the attacker controls a domain A, and the victim is visiting A. The victim is also logged into a benign site, with domain B. A's CORS policy is irrelevant, the attacker can "disable cors" for A, but it will accomplish nothing, B has CORS enabled.

The attacker could make an HTTP request to B and set 'no-cors' or whatever, but then it couldn't include credentials (if you're using HTTP cookies), and again, B would still just reject the request.

So I'm not sure what you're saying is true. This isn't my area of security, happy to hear if I'm mistaken.
Agreed.

I also hope that some stigma of knowingly going out into the world while sick persists. Probably won’t, though.
