yeah I should be clear that the issue isn't reverse engineering, it's everything else around it.
An example: release a Ping-Pong ball into the water at the top of Niagara Falls and tell me within one meter of accuracy where the ball will be relative to the banks of the river when it reaches 500 yards past the bottom of the falls.

This is non-deterministic classical physics.
How do you reconcile that with the fact that one of the defining features of the last few decades of feminist writing has been intersectionality? And that some of the most prominent feminists are Black?
I like whoever is running Signal's blog.
It's my biggest gripe with current society. It's everywhere, and it's not going away. Nobody is tackling it, or talking about it seriously. At some point I thought that companies would become more powerful than states, but I've changed my mind on that. Nations do retaliate hard if they feel threatened. Maybe I've just turned naive again. But when it comes to monopolies I just don't see them ever going away now. Too much globalization combined with lobbying power and corporate veils. People talk about companies and never about the people who make the decisions, and I feel like people have trouble with accepting that in the end nobody actually wants to be in a society where companies can do whatever they want and end up being a negative contributor to society.
Because supporting depressed people is depressing and often futile. Mental illnesses can be transmissible that way.

Also, supporting a depressed person needs lots of time and effort, and while they are depressed they give nothing back except bad vibes.
Yep, I started my programming career optimizing stuff (traveling salesmen, roster, schedules) and the optimizing criteria in academia is very far from reality. The effects of not having slack are disastrous.

Although, the effects start showing after the optimization makes people believe they can squeeze even more work. The initial optimized schedules create more slack than handcrafted ones.
So, tell her that. You didn't need to be in a relationship anyway.
> you select for people willing to run a scam sophisticated enough to recoup the developer fee

And it filters the rest.

Lots of hobbies are expensive. There are plenty of avenues left for a cash strapped developer overflowing with ideas to explore.
Man this thread sure must be depressing if you're single.

Single? That's your problem, that your single. Go get a relationship and be happy!

Way to dogpile on people when they're down.

I say enjoy being single. If a relationship happens, good for you, but don't listen to people that say you're damaged / worse off / going down the drain because you're single. They're just jealous you can travel and play video games whenever you want. =)
> if 51% of young men are single and only 31% of women in the same age bracket are, that implies something is up

So that statistic really confuses me, how could that be the case? The data seems to imply a significant number of women are dating men far older than themselves, which just doesn't seem true to me. I'm wondering if that is a sampling error or different genders are interpreting the question differently.

It kind of reminds me of a study I heard about a few years back claiming that straight men average three times as many sexual partners as straight women. Except, that isn't possible! If you're only having heterosexual relationships, and you have the same number of men and women, the average number of relationships for men and women should be identical! The conclusion is that either that study either had sampling issues, or the respondents were exaggerating. That could be the obvious (men inflating their number of sexual partners, women deflating their numbers, due to societal pressures) but also different interpretations of the question.

I'm wondering if we're seeing the same thing here. Either those Pew statistics aren't a representative sample, or we're seeing inconsistent responses.
How do CarPlay and Android Auto integrate with the car's entertainment system? My sense is that CarPlay mostly treats the car as an external display (and input device) and I would hope that Apple has thought about the amount of data that is exposed.
Something that I've noticed recently is that in my work life, I'm finding there's more bureaucracy in what I do, mostly in the name of "efficiency". When you encounter a problem to solve, there's often a process already defined that is most efficient (or at least thought to be most efficient), when accomplishing tasks, there's a pre-defined way of laying out the tasks (i.e. tickets), updating them, reviewing them, and organizationally figuring out what's best to do next.

In my opinion, these processes are an attempt at organizational efficiency. However, the flip side is it reduces personal agency for the worker. There's little room to diverge or think about what you're doing. If you diverge, such as taking longer to do something than what was prescribed, or using a different pattern to solve a problem, there is a cost to you within the system. You must explain why, which itself "costs" something. In a sense, you're punished for doing things differently.

That loss of personal agency is absolutely soul-sucking. You feel like a machine, again at the cost of organizational efficiency. Slack is definitely important because it lets people acquire some sense of personal agency again.
> Kind of interesting, I really have no idea what peoples sex life is like on average. Idk how you can find out, no one wants to talk about it.

i assume the Kinsey Institute has studied this; they do regular surveys and such on the topic.
I don't know a ton of married men but every last one of them has managed to let me know one way or another that their sex lives are essentially over. All of them. And it all seems to follow this cliche that people will scream at you does not exist.
Low interest rates have helped, but I feel like it's primarily the relaxation of regulations that fueled things. We had really low interest rates for a decade or two after WWII, but I don't think we saw the same rate of business consolidation.
Consider paulg looks to be the only bid (so far, maybe that could change), this kind of looks like trading a $2.5M donation (that likely would have been made anyways) for a feel-good news article pumping a use-case for NFTs as a whole.
I can only speak about the Exos drives, but the Ironwolf (Pro) drives are basically just the Exos drives relabeled for the consumer market. I'm actually about to buy 6 14TB Exos x16 drives to replace 7 6TB Exos 7E8 drives that are 5 years old. Frequently you can get the Exos drives cheaper than Ironwolf anyway.
Lots of folks buy NFTs as an investment vehicle expecting them to increase in value in the future. What is the value proposition of this as an NFT? Why would anyone want to buy this NFT from PG?
If the price of this NFT were to go up & a new investor wanted to buy it, they would just buy a receipt that PG paid 2.5 million for this NFT. How does this benefit the investor or the charity?(Noora Health)

The more I learn about NFTs the less I understand.
In theory, this should be okay under "Nominative Fair Use": You're only using the name to refer to the actual thing. People are more justifiably sued when
their name for their product can be confused as being possibly associated with whatever they work with.

In practice, you can get sued anyway. You'll probably win, but getting sued sucks even if you win.

I really, really hate this. Why not just require an annual odometer reading and multiply by vehicle weight to determine how much should be owed to cover road and transportation infrastructure costs?

> Her response was that they had so much "male privilege" and that they have no excuse for underperforming. That, thus, they should still be _ahead_ of women, presumably, despite the goal being that they... shouldn't be.

This isn't shocking at all. If anything, it makes me want to make a business account so I can see first hand what targeting criteria would be available to me.

I'm not an FB user, but I might as well be, since I have an Instagram account that I mindlessly scroll from time to time.
Unlikely. Based on the article, it sounds like the data they are "vacuuming" up is telemetry data captured and stored by the car itself. Every manufacture is different, but they all are storing at least some information. I suspect there are regulatory requirements to keep such information for the purposes of public safety (see: analysis of Toyota unintended acceleration situations)

This information has been captured, stored, and made available for analysis since at least the early 00s. I remember the first time I hooked up VAGCOM to my 03 VW, it has data from so many sensors available for the tech to look up and could turn on and off hundreds of different features, it was like going into the VW equivalent of chrome://flags. And this was in a 2003 car!

You'd probably have to go back to pre-ODBII days (mandated in 1996 for the US) to really get away from this. In my experience (which is not comprehensive) 90s cars tended to keep telemetry mostly on engine performance (timing advance, cam/crank sensor positions, throttle position, etc).
This is the whole reason why I absolutely refused to buy a single game on Stadia while I was subscribed. I simply redeemed my free games every month. I was willing to pay $9 every month or whatever and get a couple of games that may or may not have been worth that much, but no way am I dropping $60 on a game when I know the entire service might disappear next year (given Google's track record).

You can produce children without marriage and a lot of people don't get married to have children.

Affluent suburban public for one. Less affluent, borderline rural for the other.

I would definitely recommend skipping any current large WD drives for home use. < 6TB are SMR and problematic in a NAS, and 6TB+ have a very irritating noise that no-one seems to be able to diagnose (sounds like a scanner when idle). I bought some 8TB WD Golds, and I was expecting them to be louder, but they do something very weird when idling and it's an extremely penetrating sound. It seems to be present on most large models: https://community.wd.com/t/strange-noise-coming-from-10tb-dr...
I feel a common issue with such "dead bedroom" discussions is the seeming lack of capacity of some parties (including some prominent toplevel comments here) to understand how deep a need for sex many people have. To think sex can be replaced with "strong friendships" is laughable to anyone who actually feels a strong desire for sex.

The dead bedroom situations I've seen with my friends (M->F equally as well as F->M) are always the result of one party being incapable of understanding the other's desire for sex. This leads them when pressed to try approaches such as, substituting "being nicer" for sex, trying therapy to reduce their partner's sex drive, or just forgetting about the problem because they are unable to sympathize with it. Ideas such as initiating sex more often or opening up the relationship either don't occur to them, are vehemently opposed, or forgotten about.

No-one is entitled to sex. But individuals in a sexually-exclusive relationship are entitled to sympathy, action, and compromise from their partner to bridge severe differences in sexuality, just the same as any other sticking point in a relationship.
Nissan is in that list, along with Infiniti.
Watsi seems to offer donations via credit cards and Paypal, neither which I think supports $2.4 Mil donations, but I'm unsure, never tried it myself. Watsi overall don't seem to fit the "no restrictions on who can donate" part either, as they are an American non-profit (subject to US laws, including embargoes).

In terms of getting the most capture for your buck, it seems like you could just harvest the logs, ship them by rail to an arid area, pile them loosely to facilitate drying, and (optionally) treat them with an anti-fungal agent.
It would be interesting if someone were to keep a list of any/all known Internet shutdowns/outages, the exact time it started, the exact time it lasted for, the country and area or areas affected, what specifically was shut-off (was it the whole Internet -- or only certain services like video/audio/text chat?)

You see, for any Internet entrepreneur or future Internet entrepreneur out there -- THAT IS YOUR FUTURE CUSTOMER LIST.

Perhaps not here in the U.S. -- but there, in those other countries, under those circumstances, people have seen the "pain point" -- and if someone offers them something, anything, anything better than what they have now -- they will be willing to buy, en masse...

In other words -- if you can offer something better -- you won't have to do much persuading to get customers...

It's the old "Build a better mousetrap -- and the world will beat a path to your door" adage...

Applied to Internet entrepreneurship...

But don't take my word for it; read Joel Spolsky's excellent "Where There's Muck There's Brass" essay:

> The obvious benefit of marriage is producing children.

No. Marriage doesn’t produce children.

Marriage can provide social obligations relating to the support of children, though. (It also provides social obligations of mutual support between spouses.)

As an aside, I grew up with “chicken fingers” everywhere, on restaurant menus, etc. but now I can’t think of the last time I didn’t see them called “chicken tenders” outside of one regional fast food chain where I am now.

It's not my cup of tea. But I don't like the general "celibacy is bad and turns men into criminal pedophiles" agenda.
This phrase is kinda ambiguous.

I still don't understand if by that sentence the article author means he was miserable before, or if this means he misses her after just one day of her being away. "Spent" is in the past, so I assumed it's the former.

I have the impression that people are talking about different things in some replies.
It’s definitely the executives. You don’t get to say something like “a Cellebrite fell off a truck” if you’re anyone besides the CEO.
> We plan to make a significant carbon offset to mitigate the environmental impact of this NFT. Within one week of the closing of this auction we will update this page with details of the steps we took.

So this is less efficient than a normal donation of the same amount, since we've now introduced a secondary overhead in that you need to waste a portion of the money combating the environmental cost.

Feels a little weird to praise the charity for having the lowest cost-per-life number that you've ever seen, and then to breathlessly announce that you're making that number worse.

Is the cost of the carbon offset going to be lower than the cost would be to commission a very nice, unique physical plaque or trophy that could be actually displayed by the donor?
It's a core belief of progressivism; those who claim it isn't know it is but are interested in protecting a movement that gives them a means of attacking those they dislike.
The reason you don't need to parse text is very much because of homoiconicity.

Homoiconicity = same representation

It means that the way you represent code in a language is the same way you represent some data-structure in that language. This applies both syntactically and semantically.

(+ 1 2)

This is the Lisp syntax for a list of three elements. Parenthesis denote a list, and each word inside it denote an element of that list. The above list has elements +, 1 and 2.

So the above code is the syntax for a list, and when you deserialize this (read in Lisp parlens), you get a list of three elements. This is the semantic part. Now you have a List object of three elements. You can now loop over this list, access elements in it, change the order of the elements, you can append or prepend more elements to it, remove elements, and whatever else you can do with a list data-structure.

Finally, it happens that code is represented this way as well. So syntactically if you want to add 1 and 2 together, you'd also write:

(+ 1 2)

And semantically, the interpreter/compiler will not take text as input, it will take a list of three elements as input, because code is assumed to be modeled as a list of elements. Not using some special CompilerList, but using the standard list data-structure you use for any other list.

Which means to execute code, you take text which models code using the syntax used to represent lists, and you parse/deserialize it (read it) into a list data-structure, and then you feed this list to the evaluator which will execute it as code.

Thus the textual representation for code and for a list is the same, and the in-memory representation of code and of a list is the same, and finally this list can be executed as code or simply processed as a list. This is homoiconicity.
> Lonely? Make strong friendships! Spend your time with other men who like you and enjoy your company and validate you. A partner is not a replacement for the natural circle of close friends humans are supposed to have. I'll be honest that I'm not the best at doing this, to my own detriment, but I think it's basically the solution.

I agree with you in that this is the best solution, but modern employment is making that hard. When you have a 1h single-way commute, an 8 hour regular work day with an hour of lunch break, another hour of "expected" overtime and "expected" taking part in socializing events to "fit to corporate culture", you lose 11-13 hours each day to work and are probably exhausted. Add another one and half hours to make breakfast and dinner and 8 hours of sleep, that doesn't leave much space for any activities. And God may help you if you're one of the persons who has to take on a second or third job to make rent.

Boomers always complain my generation are "snowflakes" and depression ain't real... yeah no. Depression is real and these people had the luxury of being able to afford two kids, a house and a decent car on one person's salary without ridiculous overtime. Times have changed and not for the better.
How is that functionally different from identifying a product that is selling well, making your own version of it, and selling that at the identified best or lower price from the data generated by the third party? Sure they may still list the third party (in direct competition in the same marketplace) but that doesn't mean they aren't acting extremely anticompetitive for a marketplace.

> can use the quote operator to write control structures

The quote operator cannot be used for writing control structures in Lisp, unless we are referring to something you generally should not do in production code, like:

(defun meta-circular-if (cond then else)
(if (eval cond) (eval then) (eval else)))

(meta-circular-if (quote (> 3 2)) (quote (+ 4 4)) 0)

Quoting is nothing like referring to Forth words as data. When Forth code refers to a Forth word foo, that's more like (function foo) than (quote foo).
Ah yes 90,000 homes or 0.065% of total homes in the US. So why is this news?

There’s a similar story about a guy who sets up an add targeted to his wife or fiancé or something.

Later Facebook apparently made it so whatever group your targeting has a minimum size.

When the Internet started expanding, the first communities to connect were communities forming around common interests shared by the majority of people and businesses.

But then something happened... controversial/evil communities started forming: hate speech, racism, harassment, mysogenists, flat earthers, anti vaxxers, scammers...

Geographically speaking, incels are very sparsely distributed. But now the incel guy in one town can connect to an incel guy in another town. And groups that did not have a critical mass to start a community before, now do.

Before the Internet, without interaction with an incel communities, incels would be brought back to sanity through assimilation by other groups in society. Now with the Internet, incels can connect with other incels, reinforce their behavior and become radicalized. That sucks.

Connecting people is not necessarily a good thing.
Andy at Backblaze here. We do look at drive model failure over time. We did a post on this topic several years ago, 2015? At the time, most drive followed the bathtub curve of failure, but I'm not sure that is still the case. I think its time to update that report.
I'd understand if I was out here being like, "SV SHOULD BE MARXIST" but I'm literally just answering a question that's a common misconception.
Isn't the idea of underrepresentation of certain minority groups or genders basically that? we hear that there are only xy % of women in tech or PoC in tech and that the goal is to get for example 50/50% women/men. Isn't this basically a discussion about equality of opportunity vs equality of outcome. 50%/50% is basically equality of outcome. We can see for example in scandinavia that you get unequal outcomes if you amplify the equality of opportunities.
Can you name a non profit not governed by nation state monetary and financial regulation policy you'd donate to? I cannot.

If I was going to donate a substantial sum to Watsi, I would wire it to them and have the wire receipt as proof of money transmittal.

Well, usually when I see somebody arguing "equity vs. equality", they're advocating strict racial quotas: absolute equality of outcome, at the level of race.
