Everyone isn’t stupid - today I work with wonderful, very smart people I can learn from.

HN and a lot of places online have wonderful people too.

The average American public school teacher? They’re not that bright and they can be petty. I usually didn’t have trouble because I was a good student.

Some examples:

- Teacher in health class said BAC wasn’t lethal until 40%, when I mentioned I think it was .4% she said I forgot to multiply by 100. On the final the multiple choice answers for lethality ranged from 10% to 40% BAC. She also had an obvious hyper-Christian abstinence only lean despite state law to teach actual sex Ed.

- Art teacher in elementary school called home and humiliated me in front of the class because I was talking about video games with another student while working on arts and crafts (this teacher hated video games).

- Middle school history teacher hated children, picked favorites, and was just generally mean, would bully kids in the class. She was worse than most middle school students.

It’s not a superiority complex, I had wonderful teachers too that cared about students and were kind. The incentives and pay of public schools are such that you get a lot of bad ones (and they’re impossible to fire).

When I tried to tell adults about what was going on they often dismissed it with condescending nonsense “oh it’s a tough age” - no some of these people you have in charge of us are legitimately crazy and should not be in charge of children.

Children have no power in school and it often sucks to be there.
Sure. In fact, once this bug was fixed I ran the same program through some tests with valgrind and found two more problems that were occurring less frequently. The difference is that with rr I can record and diagnose a specific crash. With valgrind I would have found three problems, fixed them, and the intermittent crashes would have gone away. On the one hand that’s good enough, but on the other hand I wouldn’t have found out that the weird crashes that couldn’t happen were because we were overwriting a vtable.

I mean, there are lots of ways to fake gold. At least one of these has some gold on the outside - which isn't going to simply wash off in the bathtub. And I'm guessing there are ways to make sure it sinks in water, as cheap and mid-grade jewelry tends to sink to the bottom too.

Thanks, that is helpful.

I wonder if it can be defined through System 1 and 2 activities. So doing a System 1 task + System 2 task simultaneously would be ok, but not doing System 1 task + another System 1 task.

My question as well. Similarly when corporations bribe politicians.
All such systems will have overrides (imagine the "HERE I AM EVERYONE!" beacon triggering on the submarine when it's hiding as part of its primary, military, job). On an aircraft there is almost no powered circuit without a breaker to enable the crew to shut it down if malfunctions, or worse yet catches fire. So a crew that has prepared properly will still be able to go dark.

Which is one of the elements of MH370 that suggests a deliberate act: it did go almost entirely dark, but for the hourly satellite pings. If the flight recorders are ever found then it may be learned if this was so, and whether it was malfeasance or part of a lost fight against malfunctions/fire.
I just said that i don't have any issues while working or meeting people.

If that's the bar, then i reached it. No?
The miniscule value of those items is exactly what makes them -not- bribes.

This was a way to commit suicide while preserving honor (for himself or family) post-death, which is important to some people.
So, you admit there is such a thing as wire and mail fraud, and those laws should exist, and yet if someone is convicted of those crimes it is automatically because they couldn't convict them of another crime. And you don't know enough about this case to make a judgement and yet the only reason they convicted this person of this crime is because it is "axiomatic." You aren't convincing me these are bad laws from this argument.
In my mind, the fact that you could find functions describing all past states doesn't necessarily imply that there's a function, in some ontic sense, that produces or predicts future states. Saying that implies a preexisting belief in determinism, and this perspective seems to rather imply learning and/or exploring.
It's great, but what's novel about that? I've seen similar stuff since more than 20 years ago. This particular repository is maybe 6 years old?

$500,000 seems like probably a little less than one year salary for a Netflix VP. But then again people have been known to engage in fraud for much less.

You jinxed it, so I'll be the "some comment": prions won't spread everywhere all at once, so humanity will probably self-isolate in at least a few prion-free clusters.
If working for Facebook or Google is an option for you, you are not at risk of not meeting your financial needs.

Systemic problems don’t exist: they are the problems of individuals and their interactions observed at scale. Your next sentence highlights why systemic problems exist at all: deferral of responsibility.

Does that matter if we're only going to use it in a situation like this? Some low reliability redundancy would still be nice
But is that money laundering?
In Kolmogorov complexity you typically do not care about constant offsets. You assume you are free to choose the language to implement the program in and in the worst case if someone else choses another language you just have to prefix all your programs with an interpreter of your language written in the other language. The size of that interpreter might be huge but it‘s a constant length for all your programs so you dont care.
Same for program vs literal: just include one prefix symbol in your language to mark your program as either literal output or real program.
That makes all your programs one symbol longer but as you only care about relative program size inside your language you do not care.
Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (at some point this year) (London, UK)

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small, agile, and fast-growing team, in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks.

Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python, C++ and Javascript for React, relying heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. The tech stack sports Kafka, Postgres and increasingly Kubernetes. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Our entire production is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.

We are looking for engineering talent all across the board: frontend, infrastructure, trading engine, security - and of course generalists, those yet to find their calling.

We also have a slightly unusual Mobile QA Developer in test position at the moment - so if you like writing and breaking code get in touch!

If you like the idea of a flat structure and practical engineering approach, see our jobs at https://smarkets.com/careers .

Out-of-control Chinese rocket expected to fall to Earth in the coming days
Serious bribes either don't look like gifts or don't even go directly to the person who is being bribed. There are "industry conferences" organized in expensive resorts. In a recent case in Poland a CEO of a company bought his apartment for approximately a half of the market price.

For the really big bribes there are shell companies, which the vendor hires as subcontractor to get "consulting services".
Expression-oriented languages don't need explicit returns. However, your point is absolutely correct: there must be a constant overhead, even if it's just a single bit; otherwise there would be no way to tell what should be treated as a program and what should be treated as a literal string/value (even if it just-so-happens to be a valid program).

Since this overhead is constant, it becomes negligible as the sequence length increases. Yet we should take it into account, e.g. by saying the upper bound is 'N + O(1)'.
We gloss over great ideas – and invest in bad ones

Transactional memory similarity to garbage collection
The thing is, instantaneous communications do not and can not exist in our universe. In fact, there is no such thing as two things happening "at the same time" if they are in different locations. If you observe two things happening at the same time from where you are standing (say, you are see two stars exploding at the same time and you know they are both at the exact same distance from you, so you know light took the same amount of time to reach you), another person who was passing you at high speed at the same time will say that you are actually wrong, those two stars exploded at completely different times, after doing the exact same measurement as you.

We talk about the "speed of light" being a constant, but this is misleading. The "speed of light" is actually the "speed of causality". Breaking the speed of light, with some theoretical instant communication, would be breaking causality.

In the earlier example, if those two stars each had an emergency beacon that sent you an instant message just as they exploded, you would receive both simultaneously. But the person travelling past you would be very confused about how that could happen, since he clearly observed them exploding at different times.
Not exactly what you requested but there's the ability to log all requests that are processed: if you click the extension icon and then under "Configs" enable logging, then at the bottom of the ui there's a button for checking the logs. This will show you the before and after processing urls, the rules that were triggered, and when.

I was really excited about web components until I discovered that slots and CSS isolation are a package deal.

Absolutely great for the developer that wants to ship pre-built components that cannot be affected by the CSS of the site they're used in; absolutely useless when you want to make re-usable components for your own app, where you very much want slot content to be styled using the CSS you already have.
Stumbled on an example just today: click on a link in the Gmail Android app, get redirected to google.com/url?...

Great extension idea.
If a man goes on a 50 year voyage and returns, he will not have travelled in a straight line, like a planet zooming through space would. He would have to accelerate and change directions, which brings in the effects of general relativity which complicate things. So these two are not equivalent cases.
I think you've over-estimated our ability to destroy. This isn't star wars.

You can however devote that extra time on your hands to more useful endeavours like energy, construction/engineering, water purification etc.
> Typing a large legacy codebase written in a highly dynamic language is not as easy.
> very few can afford it.

Starting a project in a highly dynamic language is a conscious choice with well-known properties. The second part is interesting, however. Essentially you are saying that gains from development velocity do not offset losses from technical debt, which is a strange observation. I would say it sort of hints at time to MVP being irrelevant business metric (startup runway/survivability aside) at best. This is contrary to typical startup truths.

Building the plant and mining the uranium, doing upkeep on the plant, and decommissioning it and processing the fuel are not non-polluting.

There is always pollution. Some forms of energy have more and some have less. It is never good to just waste energy, that will always cause excess pollution, no matter the type of energy used.
"I think, and my thoughts cross the barrier into the synapses of the machine—just as the good doctor intended. But what I cannot shake, and what hints at things to come, is that thoughts cross back. In my dreams the sensibility of the machine invades the periphery of my consciousness. Dark. Rigid. Cold. Alien. Evolution is at work here, but just what is evolving remains to be seen."
Doesn't ublock provide something similar?

Hardly any compared to software. We're talking about 1 change every 20 years versus 1 to 100s of changes per day. That's a huge magnitude of difference. But that's not even important to my argument.

To suggest that software maintenance and building maintenance are anything alike is ignoring the entire context of the two activities.

With buildings, builders have very little control over the wear and tear caused by the environment. In software, developers collectively have total control over the software and hardware environment which determines whether or not software breaks.
Most of the wear and tear in software is a direct result of people compulsively changing stuff in other software (or hardware) up the stack - It's all 100% avoidable. If the software never changed materially (aside from bug fixes), it would not break. Simple as that.

And most of the software changes are simply taking us round in circles. New generations of developers undoing the work of the previous generation, then later reversing direction again, surely we've all seen it happening at most of the software companies we've worked at...
> ...white people were uniquely tainted by the slave trade that some of their ancestors engaged in.

Is that a quote? It sounds like you are paraphrasing your perception of someone's point in the least favorable possible way. If the guy really said "white people are tainted," then he might suck and I hope you pushed back.

A Historical Perspective on COBOL (2020)
1. yes I am, studying years to be a doctor, lawyer, Engineer etc from your point of view is also to much? Should you just start cutting people to figure out how a body works end expect for everything to be ok once you are done? The point being, yes you have to study to learn something, there is no way around it.

2. If money is a concern to you, then I should focus on learning how exactly the billing works and how to monitor correctly. This way you can build a product the right way, not to mention AWS by default has limits on their services set with limits that prevent you from doing something incorrectly. For example you can only make 5000 requests a sec on the API Gateway, you can only have 1000 concurrent lambdas, you can spin only 25 ec2 instances, ecc... (true, not all services have limits like this - but then again, if you want to use one, the first thing you should do is check the pricing page, this is what I do fro every new service that I'm planing to use).

3. AWS is not for developers, it is meant for SysAdmins and DevOps (true that some marketing materials are not clear on this), they should be the one configuring it to allow developers to host their code. If you want a turn key solution, then there are better solutions, like Heroku - incredibly easy to use and understand and have a much simpler billing structure.

With AWS you can do anything you want, AWS provides lego blocks, what do you build with it is up to your imaginations, and for sure it is not meant to be use directly by developers who have no idea how networks, computers, databases, cpu, ram, policies, storage etc works. Developers should focus on coding, and SysAdmins and DevOps should focus on managing the infrastructure.

And if you want to learn AWS because you want to be a SysAdmin, then it is true, that AWS could have a plan for beginners with even smaller default limits, and limits set on everything - this way you could more safely play with what they have. This would be a nice things to have in this case for sure.

But because they don't provide such thing, you need to be the responsible one, and start learning AWS the right way, and not get in gun blazing, and expect all will be ok. My recommendation is to learn one service at the time. If you do this, over the years the acquired knowledge will be gold. Plus the more services you learn the right way the easier it gets.
For public sector, absolutely 1000%, very illegal.

However, please point me to a law that says it's illegal to give a gift from one private company to another for any kind of advantage.
You are correct, which makes it even more pernicious that Amazon chooses to not fix this ... profits at any cost is not a long term benefit ... the longer AWS fails to fix this more folks will tend to lean toward the competition especially Azure ... I have been a unix/linux server side developer since the beginning and always use a linux laptop so no fan of Microsoft however their Azure platform is lightyears ahead of AWS ... its obvious the AWS console web front end needs a wholescale rewrite from the bottom up ... again as you say its not a priority probably because all big consumers never use the AWS console as they have written their own automation layer atop the AWS SDK
Sumo Logic sales once sent me a targeted email asking if I needed help getting the most out of my AWS S3 Load Balancer logs. The creepy part is I just created an S3 bucket the previous day that had the strings “load balancer” and “logs”. They must be scanning S3 bucket names for key words and maintain or pay for a list of AWS account id mappings to likely owners.

> adding different skin tones to emojis is racism

Sure. And people with vitiligo are shamefully discriminated against.

This really is not true. Spending limits are not supported by all major cloud providers.

You really want to give anti-vaxxers more ammo over a "potential risk"?

But welcome to HN.
I'm in agreement with the cloud providers over those of you wanting a hard shutdown.

Businesses, the entities that are paying the most money to AWS, will NOT want a hard shutdown. When you generate revenue off of your SaaS service maybe you'll understand.

No, I won't be pushing my TAM to enable a forced shutdown due to budget metrics.

Not to mention, how does AWS decide what to shutdown and what to delete? It's not like it's only running resources that cost money, what about all my data that's stored???
Why? Why so much effort is put in something so meaningless as emojis? There's nothing more confusing than messages with emojis. When I read the text I know what information writer wanted to send me because it was all coded inside the text. When I see emoji I have to stop and think, what the writer wanted. Is it part of the information or just the background noise? Should I 'read' this emoji as a part of the sentence or as a separate phrase? Clear text is just so much less confusing.

The real cost to my client was that for months or years their system had been crashing, and they could do nothing about it. They just had to live with it, rerunning jobs that had crashed. Maybe the compile times would have been unfortunate, but I think they would have come out ahead. On the other hand, they probably wouldn’t have had to hire me.
