Certainly on Twitter, hyping ivermectin as the cure is also good Bayesian evidence that the speaker also believes a bunch of unevidenced or plain wrong things about Covid19.
I think the article touches on a broader problem with European approach to finance, innovation, and competition in the globalized economy (to be clear, I say that as a European). It is hard for anyone living here not to notice that the continent is slowly falling behind and becoming more provincial in many ways. This leads to some defensive and delusional attitudes, often presented on this forum ("we may underperform economically but that's okay because quality of life here is better and we don't have all the shootings and inequality" or "it is better to have stable low growth than excessive speculation-driven growth"). This mentality is especially striking when applied to the field of finance - which is associated with greedy ruthless US-style capitalism. There is a certain pride in the fact that financial markets in Europe are fragmented, over-regulated and underdeveloped. Nobody seems to recognize that despite all their flaws US markets are much more transparent and less corrupt. I have participated in discussions where people debated Gamestop saga, concluding that thankfully in Europe it would not be possible because we "protect retail investors" here and don't allow payment for order flow. The fact that European retail investors get a terrible deal, with inflated costs to access the market, lack of choice, and mediocre returns, did not seem to bother anybody. Almost everyone I know prefers to invest in US stocks, through US brokers with local subsidiaries. The precious few recent attractive European companies that I know of all got listed in New York. Wirecard case really is symptomatic. To run a global innovative business in Europe you cannot cut corners and bend the rules Uber-style; EU regulations "protect" us from that kind of enterpreneur. The only way is for the business to be an outright fraud.

In bankruptcy, assets would be sold off (the planes wouldn't be crushed). Businesses restructured and life would go on. It's extremely unlikely no one would be willing to take air travel, even at higher prices than current (I like flying NYC/SF at $150/flight, but I would do it at $600/flight too).
> Microsoft paid money to the NFL so they use the tablets, presumably more than the other bidders

How do I, as another consumer of Microsoft products, get in on this "get paid to use Microsoft products" deal?

Oh right, I can't. Because it's not a competition. It's an anti competition.
Well, I’ll be damned!

I literally just purchased a boilerplate template that looked like shit, but it met 80% of my needs... so I acquiesced.

You got me... I’ll purchase. All I ask is for support to be there.
Why should I change habits just because I work from home?
Because the people who don't want to will then have to eat lunch alone at their desk talking to no one. They're a tiny company.

But yes, there were likely other solutions to try before this one, including but not limited to: not blogging about whatever solution they picked.

You seem to be making a bright line distinction between "at school" and "not at school".

This distinction doesn't really exist. Does "school" include virtual learning environments? School sports? Travelling to and from school or sports? Bullying that extends from school to out of school?

Traditionally, schools have always been responsible for these things or have taken actions that occurred out of school grounds into account.

I finished school in the early 1990s and students were expelled then for graffiti attacks out of the school, out if school hours, not in school uniform.

I don't see what is different or new here.
This is a system that is basically adding missing features as a super-set on another system. Rather than deal with one complex system, you are now dealing with a complex system within a complex system.

For this to actually pay off for you, it needs to cost less to run this super-system than the base system. Without any numbers (quality, reliability, bugs, etc) to speak to, there's no way to know if using this system will result in a better outcome. All you can do is hope that the base system is such a pain in the ass, and the super-system is so good, that somehow you come out on top.

How do you know this?
they might be bogus -- mine clearly reflect blue light when I see myself in a Zoom call, and they make ambient light warmer as well, so yours might just not be filtering properly. i think there are a lot of cheap products that don't really do what is advertised in this area.
uBlock Origin with some filter lists (I suspect the easy privacy is one) will block calls to google tag manager, which prevents anything that would have been loaded by that from showing up in ublock origin's block list. I suspect that's what's happening in this case.

If I load about.gitlab.com without ublock origin enabled the FB network requests show up in in the network console.
> Presumably this would have all been avoided by requiring up-front payment, in escrow, before allowing someone to become physically involved in the business?

Yes, following the normal protocols and using lawyers and not using their gut feelings or caring about the buyer’s story would have prevented this.

The guy was broadcasting that he was not a desirable buyer, scam or no scam:

> Thirteen times he and Gregory requested pushing back the closing date, saying they’d be prepared to close “tomorrow” or “next week” or “next month” or in “the first weeks of the new year.”

I searched the article for “earnest money” and didn’t see any mention of it, which means the sellers were engaging with this buyer without the most basic of real estate transaction protections for the seller:

All of those languages (possibly except for C++) are safer, in general, than C. But C#, Java, JS and Go aren't more type safe than C. I don't know how it works in Scala.

I just don't consider the language to be "type safe" when every single variable (except for primitives) can explode at runtime with no warning from the type system. At least with C++ you can have references which you know won't be null.

The fact that you bring up JS, a language with _literally no static type checking_, confuses me. Are we even talking about the same thing? Maybe I should've used the phrase static type safety rather than type safety? I thought it was clear from context (as a response to "with Java if it compiles it definitely works"), but maybe not.

Would you agree that keylogger is a term for malicious software with the purpose of stealing private data such as credentials?

Is this is the case, then the latter is not keylogging.

The former is some sort of logging, but I wouldn't call it keylogging; after all, you are still entering data to the particular filed intended for entering credentials, to be sent to the remote server for verification. If the purpose of the remote server is something more nefarious, then it is keylogging.

The feature would even make sense if the server would let you in without pressing enter; but for understandable reasons this is not really a thing..

Yeah I am sorry but have no idea what point you are trying to make. Which freedom do you want - freedom to travel, or freedom from death?
Each company will want a ping related to their own tracking tags. I.e. if the visitor came from a Facebook ad, you want to notify FB about conversions so that you know how effective the ad was. Also it's required if you want some dynamic A/B behaviour on the referrer side. Multiply by each source (not just ads).

All of that could be done server side, but people don't want to build their own version of analytics, run it internally, and keep it up to date with all their data sources.

I'm curious, what version of Hy are you targeting in your book?
I have a couple questions I didn't see addressed in the article. I like this tech, and am curious to learn more.

1. Are the changes detectable?

2. Are the changes reversible?

3. Are the changes deterministic?

1 and 2 go toward whether this can be counteracted in some way. 3 is concerned with whether we end up making an alternate population of photos that can eventually tie back to the same real person.
The article specifically mentions his agent booked it for him in a statement from Snowden.
Yes, I read my own link. OP was talking about a guided tour.
But again, they also have system privileges on your phone and if they wanted to dump location data or bluetooth scans they could do so trivially.

About the worst that could come of this is an accidental capture in a crash report.
I've seen those reports as well. I think it will depend on the person, and just because blue light doesn't cause eye disease or not enough studies have been done to test how valid it is does not mean it is not working for some people. It has certainly made a difference to me and several others I know. Just make sure it is genuinely blocking blue light; as I mentioned in another comment, some of these don't actually do what they are advertised to do.
The article mentioned that it was booked via his speaking engagement agency.
None of this is true. People are interested, they want to learn new useful things. The problem with blockchain is that the environment is literally filled with fraudsters and you can't trust anyone. One ugly case after another and at the end of the day you just feel distrust whenever someone is advertising a "new revolutionary blockchain scheme" or whatever.

Tell me clearly what your project is, why it's useful in real life, who is actually using it - and if it makes sense for me, I'll be glad to use it.
Assuming they did good contact tracing here and found that it really was the only way this guy was exposed, we're talking about a vanishingly rare route to infection. The article calls it one in a million infections. I think it might be rarer than that.
n = 1, but using my oura ring, I can see a diff of 10% higher RHR pmb during my sleep when drinking a single glass of beer after diner.

It surprised me a lot.
I have worn a Garmin watch with HR monitor for months at a time off and on for the last few years.

My resting heart rate while sleeping is typically 64-68 without alcohol and 65-85 after drinking several glasses of wine. There is such a marked difference in RHR in the two scenarios that you could tell if I drank simply by looking at my heart rate chart during the night.

Interestingly, I attempted to start running for one month about a year ago. My endurance is poor, but I would run/walk for several kilometers. Within the first week and continuing through that month, my RHR while sleeping was 52-62. Not only was it significantly lower, it took a long time after stopping exercise for the rate to return to what it usually is.

I don't know what this all really means, but it is fascinating. Studies or not, I imagine that not drinking + regular cardio exercise is better for long life than the alternative combinations.
While am generally a 3d printing skeptic I feel it's not quite a fair take. The bulk of a house (and its major cost component) is the structure. So this could be useful even if it can't print you the bathroom and the fridge.

How well it going to work in practice is another matter (and here's where am skeptical).

I did a 477 mile (each way) round trip last summer with no serious planning. Took 2 Supercharger stops each way in decent shopping areas, around 35 min each. I would have used at least one of those to eat lunch anyway, so the overall losses were minimal. Also, the whole point of a “road trip” is to stop occasionally and see things, so having these short breaks made the trip more pleasant.

Plus the sheer nerd excitement of watching my car drink 250KW on the app while I ate a meal. There’s nothing technically exciting about gas stations.
VW, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Geely perhaps? Or some other Chinese company we haven't really heard of yet?. I don't see Tesla turning itself into the sort of company that can (or wants to) successfully compete in the top 5 carmakers by volume or revenue. I think they'll be happiest playing in the high performance niche and leave making the EV Corolas and Polos of the world to Toyota and VW

All that being said, I'm far from confident enough in this prediction be to be actively betting against Tesla.
Since we're talking anecdata anyway, it could be from decreased sleep quality instead of direct causation.
Similar experience here. The problem I witnessed during my year or so involvement was a race to the bottom in terms of selectiveness of admitting students.

The deception was that the screening test was marketed as informing prospective students whether they had the prerequisite skills to succeed in the school.

I saw so many students struggling for easy to predict reasons: some didn't even have the basic computer equipment to participate. A few more seemed to struggle with just basic concepts.

None of those people were inherently incapable, but they were mislead to believe that they were ready for the program.

The bootcamp I went to was pretty good when I started, but even a year later I was starting to get uneasy about my association with it. I've now completely removed it from LinkedIn and resume. I will mention it if it comes up, but I actively discourage prospective students now and don't want to do anything to lend them legitimacy. It's not worth mentioning its name here because my points apply to almost every bootcamp out there, based on discussions at meetups with prospective bootcamp students.
I strongly disagree. I spent years managing an all-remote team that was spread from Perth, WA to Seattle, WA (for different values of WA). It was a fantastically productive team.

It has been my experience that rarely do productive software developer depend on working with each other synchronously (is it the thinking that they share, or the typing?) and when they do, it's not hard to find a common time to meet between two timezones. It is also rarely necessary to meet together as a team on a very regular basis.

One catch is we would all meet face-to-face for a week two or more times per year. That was important for planning and socialization, but being apart was when 98% of the work was done.
That's the biggest thing imo. Twitter is filled right now with this idea that it was probably an ultra conservative person ruffling people's feather and they were tired of the arguments between transphobic and lgbtq people or something.

I don't work at Basecamp, but I find that unlikely: they'd likely have fired the transphobic person (or at least I hope they would have). They didn't say they wouldn't do politics, just that they didn't want politics discussed over company infrastructure.

But even if the room was all on the same side of the political pendulum, things still get pretty ugly.

The latest public version (pip install Hy).

I don’t generally install from the GitHub repo. I know that Hy is no big deal, just a Lisp skin on top of Python, but I really enjoy using it. Hy is an example of “done” software: it was written years ago, and just does what it is meant to. I have noticed comments on Reddit about Hy not being actively maintained, but as I said, it is “done.”

In the UK, there is no such thing as FICO. The "score" the credit bureaus tell you is completely made up and is designed to encourage you to check back regularly so you can see and "engage" with the "offers" (aka ads/spam) next to it. It will vary by a dozen points every month or so.

Lenders get a raw copy of your report when you apply for credit, which contains things like credit account history (max limit, % of limit used, late payments if any, etc) and then run their own scoring algorithm on it. Those are black boxes.

In the UK, getting a credit card and using it regularly seems to be the common advice for building credit, which makes sense considering the scoring algorithms themselves aren't public (and differ by lender).

You're right that it requires a very specific strategy and cost layout to go multi-cloud, and 99% of people don't get it. Just like most people shouldn't use K8s, most people shouldn't go multi-cloud.

If it costs $500K in opex to run in one cloud, expect it to cost $1M for two clouds. It's like having Windows tech support for 200 users, and then asking them to support 200 more users on Macs, and support has never touched a Mac before. Support will be spread thin real fast, and this leads to quality issues and service problems.

There's no magic software which erases all of the hurdles required to double your infrastructure using a completely different system.
This is just a rant, not news worthy.

/edit: just in case, I am by no means a Tesla fan or even an EV fan.
The technical difference would be that a keylogger logs keystrokes regardless of where the focus is, whereas normal "respond to key events" logic would be restricted to capturing key events in a field where the user understands the focus to be.

"Type to search" is OK, as the key events processed are restricted to the ones typed into the search field. A key logger would attach an event listener to capture key presses in any field, or even if no field is selected.

It is the same technical difference between a UI which has an explicit "paste" button, which reads from the clipboard only when that button is pressed, vs a web app which reads from the clipboard indiscriminately, in the off-chance that there's something interesting (a password for a different website?) stored in the clipboard.
I'd go one step further, and say that the most noble thing would be to have a direct <a href="advertised-site">, and not track the user clicks at all. Even server-side tracking of <a href="local-redirect?where=advertised-site&id=user_id"> involves tracking beyond what is minimally necessary to provide a service.
I don't understand your comment. The comment you were responding to was also describing an observable phenomenon (regardless of intent). You were putting these against each other and ascribing intent (and attacking that) to one, but now ignoring it in yours.

The internet is spammed daily by non-news "news sites" (usually behind privacy shield and without any about page, and no history to examine), blogs, tweets, facebook posts, emails attacking by misrepresenting established institutions. I get exposed to it constantly. I can't know who/where from or why, but I can definitely state that it happens.

If we are merely stating observable phenomenons, then fine, but then I don't get the point of your original comment regardless.

While this news is about "a rumor according to sources familiar with the matter" it's obvious that Apple will be doing this at some point. Whether it's the M2 or if there will be a new letter designator (X-series silicon for eXtreme performance? Apple X1?) I am very interested to see what the performance numbers will be for an ARM-powered workstation rocking 16 to 32 high power cores. Aside from the Ampere eMAG, is a 16+ core ARM-powered workstation even a thing yet? (I don't count Amazon's Gravaton chips in this discussion because I cannot own a machine on my desktop powered by one).

My personal data on HRV and booze is too erratic to draw conclusions.
I've been dabbling in expert systems (aka rules engines) for the last few years. See CLIPs and Rete algo in your language of choice.

This, combined with exposure to KNN over TF-IDF (either live indexes like Elasticsearch under the hood or GiST over trigrams in Postgres or custom trained models), allowed me to discover a kind of "ratcheting" of knowledge.

If the I/O of the program is like an interview with a client, then it's possible to have a "topic stack" where each frame represents a volley in that conversation. I think chatbots also go deep on "dialog engines" like this (see RavenClaw).

For each fact being input, it's possible to check all the policies (rules) that might apply in a declarative way where the developer doesn't need to care about order. Rete takes care of performance concerns, but it's not horizontally scalable (which doesn't really matter IMHO).

Then, for the same stack frame, checking what all other facts are by doing that light KNN to see which other fact patterns were similar, and computing the rule matching on those selectively. This is like making analogies to case law.

Rinse and repeat that flow until some kind of solution is found/suggested/validated by the user, etc. See SHYSTER paper which covered this approach in the 90s.
There's very little actual substance in the thread. This wasn't worth posting on HN, and I am no Tesla fan.
