throw away account for obvious reasons.

After the financial crash of 2008, I think many people worry. That's one of the reasons why you can see the price of bitcoin, gold and other assets went up in the last 5 years. Even if they don't have guaranteed returns, people want to make returns. It can also be a hedge against fiat currency collapse.

Governments are in direct competition with each other. The trade war is fought with different means including monetary mass (Quantitative Easing), tariffs and IP theft. The huge collapse will be in 2nd/3rd world states.

Those states don't have an economy to support the money printing policy. When states can't manage their finances, that is pushed onto its citizens. Even if they were never in debt themselves.

The newly minted money will not go directly into the middle or lower class bank accounts, thus those citizens get less purchasing power. If money printing is not an option, the states will try to raise taxes (Colombia 2021, Chile 2020, Argentina 2020). If that is not an option, they'll try to confiscate savings from bank accounts (Cyprus, 2012). If the states finances fail, they will have civil war (Venezuela, 2021) or "sell" public assets to other states (China is confiscating assets in other states: Greece 2019, Angola, Ethiopia, Zambia etc).

Well, if you make a speed filter for your app, this is a forseeable result.

Where it gets murky is for hookup apps like Tindr and Grindr - dating is chock full of risks, so they're a potential lawsuit magnet.
Because the population of Hackernews has a great overlap with the population of Silicon Valley-type software developers and Redditors, who vehemently believe feminism is the same as egalitarianism and believe the few books written by a few big figures make up for the fact feminism contradicts those words at every corner in all of its actions. And when you point that out, the first thing you get is a No True Scotsman claiming "that's not real feminism / not all feminists", despite the argument being that feminism as a whole doesn't seem to care for men beyond empty platitudes and words.

It is literally in the name. FEMinism. If it was truly "for both sexes", we could argue the naming is sexist and supremacist. We already have a better word, egalitarianism, and people still aren't willing to adopt it.

Notice people talk past my example as well. I'm explicitly asking if feminism would prefer resolving an issue which prefers women over men, over an issue which benefits women more but benefits men equally. How this simple question cannot be answered by proponents of a movement this big, is possibly the biggest red flag. Yet we see it in the media every day: some minor issue with women needs major attention, despite there being an egalitarian issue which would help anyone outside the upper class way more. If lamenting about some "pink tax" is more important than resolving a mental health epidemic caused by making people increasingly more competitive with one another, where failure is met with lasting mental trauma, surely that should tell people what feminism really is about.

The very people claiming to be proponents for men in their words alone, are the ones partially responsible for the mess. And they are too blind to see it.

Another route is to lobby those projects to adopt an open governance model. This effectively puts the management of the project at arm's length from the corporate parent. It's a trade-off for them to get more engagement vs rescinding control. There are a number of hosting organisations that take this kind of thing on: Linux Foundation, Linaro, Eclipse.
At what point are we going to decide we should just "cancel" speculative execution? Is that feasible? What order of magnitude would the performance hit be?
This has been non stop for the last few years. Its starting to feel like a feature not a bug

Cui bono: who benefits? This seems an asymmetric affair in favour of increasing Signal's visibility (infamy is still fame) and in reducing people's trust in big tech. A win for privacy team, even if you can debate whether it's a win for Signal in particular.
Yes Smithers we don't want the "poor's" getting their greasy fingers on our shares :-)

This also leads to those dodgy partial share adverts targeting younger unexperienced investors which is not a good thing in the long run.
Looking at it from the company perspective, you save a few lower-paid assistants but now you need to hire more devs because they spend 10-20% of their time on administrative trivia. The extra costs for the devs will be higher because not only is their hourly wage higher, they are also slower at the work than the assistants used to be since the assistants could do the same thing all day and become skilled around the process.
Yeah, I guess that depends on your definition of "overdose". Usually I refer that to cases when you ingest too much of something, so much it affects your health.
The article is rather garbled, but as I understand it he is talking about a hypothetical effect, not something Pixar actually uses.
So, the subject has proven toxic once again. I submitted my option, got +16 positive vote and a rather civilized (and reasonably big) discussion tree but got flagged.

You are assuming that people would know that your ad account on FB will only get banned when they have some "rejected ads". I, for once, learned that from your comments here.

You seem to be familiar with FB's terminology and UI, which most of the people are not. That's not on the people, but instead on FB to fix.

Sure, Signal is not doing themselves any favour by jumping the gun, but there is no reason to defend FB's UI when it can be higely improved too.
I got lost by the end of this comment... but that tends to happen when I hear people talk about crypto's value (the value always seems to be a very niche application which doesn't help). I never see it framed in straight forward widely beneficial terms. (And I'm not saying that to be flippant mind you, just an observation)

The first paragraph, I can kind of follow it, you're saying you can check someone's track record for providing information? But that's the least important part of reputation systems isn't it?

Being able to vet the reputation hasn't been artificially inflated is really the meat of that. After all, what's stopping someone from making up a history? It requires the same central authority current systems do right?

The second paragraph is where I totally get lost. I have a vague understanding of each term, but how they come together doesn't seem to add up for me
Turn to the European ombudsman and start forcing your government to work.

I disagree fundamentally with your take because I approach this subject academically instead of in pop culture terms. Both blacks and whites have distinct ethnic groups that are more granular. Just as whites are ethnically English, Irish, German, Scandinavian, Italian, etc., blacks are ethnically Akan, Cuban, Caribbean, Abyssian, Fulani, Zulu, Oromo, and more.
Not using AWS is nothing like producing your own electricity. I can easily set up something like AWS, but I could never set up the infrastructure to produce electricity on a large scale. Also electricity is a relatively uniform and neutral product compared to a cloud service.

You should have picked a different analogy.
Don't most countries grant citizenship to children born on their territory who aren't eligible for any other citizenship? I've heard of cases where the children had a hard time proving that to be the case (the embassy of the parents' state of citizenship would neither grant citizenship nor certify non-citizenship) but I didn't realise one could be completely ineligible for any citizenship from birth in a western country.

I very much doubt plane ping time is covered under GDPR.
And amazingly it is self inflicted by peer pressure, because it’s absolutely possible to build great things without React or Kubernetes. I don’t care because I have my own company now (and yet it’s an everyday to educate both clients and junior devs), but if I were still mainly a dev I would seriously hurt my resume. I don’t know if it’s conscious or not on their part, but the tech marketing achievement is both impressive and disappointing.
Windows Terminal is quite comparable with the vast majority of *NIX terminals and the 2.0 release will have more features than quite a few of them.

But oh well, downvote away if that makes you angry :-))
Except in all your examples the pilots spoke to air traffic control announcing they were experienced problems, and there is no plausible reason for why they wouldn't send out a distress call: if your plane is on fire you really wish someone could help you.

In the case of your fire examples, beyond just speaking to ATC, the planes returned to ground (landing or otherwise) within half an hour.

In contrast, MH370 stayed in the air at least 6 hours past the last communication from the pilots, who did not try to contact ATC at any point after leaving their expected flight path.
I think Twitter is OK with drugs and adult content being trendy, but not OK with politically incorrect ones. There has to be a manual approval process, but effectively invisible, because in my opinion, an automated and non-supervised system for trending is a recipe for the disaster.

I too remember talking about it on Christmas.
I wrote a little bookmarklet that serves me pretty well for similar purposes:

javascript:window.location=window.location.href.replace(/\?([^#]*)/,function(_,s){s=s.split('&').filter(function(v){return(!/^utm_/.test(v))}).join('&');return(s?'?'+s:'')});

It's much limited as it focuses on Google's links, but it works good enough for many cases.
imo cryptocurrency is still not a "big thing" in that normal people aren't buying stuff with them as originally envisioned. It's certainly made a lot of people wealthy though.

in terms of low-hanging fruit with outsized returns: there's a ton of applications in machine learning. Google and Facebook are pouring billions into these ML models and they're all uploaded to github for us to use, free of charge. All you need is a bit of domain knowledge in how to apply it.

in terms of tech I'm actually looking forward to: the new space race, quantum simulation of biochemical reactions, GPT-X with multitask learning for video, audio and text.

in terms of impact on the world: things like height and IQ are highly heritable and almost solely determined by your DNA. It was never possible to predict these things, but with linear transformers it's looking kind of possible if you have enough data. I'm morbidly curious at what would happen if a government with utilitarian views on human rights started practicing Eugenics via this kind of phenotype prediction...

Bitcoin may have its place, but it's not (at least not in practice) programmable. Most of the exciting stuff these days is happening on Ethereum and other chains that try to solve Ethereum's scalability problems. So I'd start looking at that.

I don't think there was a single moment in time it clicked for me. It was a combination of using some of the DeFi services, listening to to other people in the space, and trying to build stuff. I recommend learning by doing and trying to build something on Ethereum, ideally something that connects to existing services. Just using the developer tools will give you a sense of how early the space is.

I think it clicked for me when I understood the combination of:

- All data and code is freely available to everyone. Imagine you can literally copy Google, including all their code and user data, because you believe their user experience or ad model sucks. If you make a better version of it that attracts users you will get rewarded.

- You don't need business models such as subscriptions, ads, etc, because payments are natively built into everything.

- Everything is composable. That's huge. Imagine every service and website on the internet exposes everything as a global well-defined API that you can integrate into your own applications without restrictions or permission. These lego blocks may enable completely new applications.

- You don't need to manage infrastructure for storing data, or servers.

- Value, in all kinds of forms, is freely tradeable and transferable

A lot of things we use today can be built with drastically better business models, no intermediaries that extract money from you, and correct user incentives.

Pendolino's are still used on the West Coast Mainline connecting London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow and I don't really have a problem with them. They're not going away any time soon, until we have HS2 (brand new route and alignment without the curves that need tilting for 125mph running).

Interestingly, they are increasing the speed on some of the northern bits of WCML through changing the bank of the track more. My understanding is that if the bank was too steep, slower running freight trains had issues with it even if faster running passenger trains were fine. With a general increase in the speed of freight trains, the speed differential is less so a higher bank can be tolerated, and I think there are sections of WCML where non-tilting trains can hit close to the speeds of the Pendolinos.

> The problem of growing up there is that I can't be Swiss - my parents weren't resident. I can't be French either - I wasn't born there. So my passport is British by descent. Children cannot be British from me, because I wasn't born in the UK. If I wanted to continue living in Geneva, children would be stateless.

If you have lived in France for the past 5 years (and still live there) you can get French citizenship. If you have obtained a diploma in a French university, you only need to have lived in France for the past 2 years.

If you have moved since then and don't live in France anymore, it might be too late though (unless you move back to France and wait 2 or 5 years).

(Also if you have siblings with French nationality, maybe if they were born in France after you were born in Switzerland, you are already technically French but have to claim your nationality).

I heard about Covid in January. It was still kind of localized, at the time, we didn't know much about it.

Around mid-February I saw in the news that there was a somewhat big cluster in Italy and realized that everyone was screwed :-(
> You would still be able to go over your limit and then who should foot the bill?

The provider. What they do wouldn't be accepted in any other industry. Imagine hiring an appliance repair shop who sends a repair person that can fix your stuff immediately, but can't tell you what it's going to cost until 3 days after the work is done.

Then you get a huge bill because you wanted "appliance repair" (one of them), but ended up with "appliance maintenance" (all of them).
Schools are often big offenders when it comes to violating privacy. It's usually a combination of ignorance and arrogance. They don't know what they're allowed to do and assume they're allowed to do a lot more than they actually are. "You're a student, you signed up, now you belong to us!"
Getting lucky gambeling doesn't make it a wise investment.
Lovely extension, some discussions about its functionality can be found in this thread [0] after the removal of the extension from Chrome's Web Store.

One things I noticed is that it can be too aggressive from time to time. I encountered this "issue" when creating a Bitwarden account, I was unable to verify my e-mail address because ClearURLs was (unbeknownst to me) removing some of the parameters from the activation URL. While similar cases will most likely not be frequent, it can be really frustrating to determine why something does not work (also applies to ad blockers).

For this to be true, the incident would need to happen immediately after they signed off from air traffic control Kuala Lumpur.

It's possible, but it is just another in the line of coincidences that would need to happen for it to be something other than deliberate act by someone.
How to Organize Your ML Development in an Efficient Way
I would say a lot of schools themselves add those things, just to do analytics. Heck, my doctor's website has google and doubleclick links - on the pages where I'm communicating with my doctor, or viewing test results! I complained and they said "our website is a convenience"
What on earth does vaping specifically have to do with the aerosol transmission of prions? Unless there are misfolded proteins in the liquid, but that's just as likely as them being in your beef, the air around you, someone chopping meat or anything else.

I remember hearing about it prior to that as well. I remember because I was building a shed and had someone helping me who was talking about it and it was prior to the new year, early December at the latest. He heard about it on a Doomsday type podcast.

How fast are you moving?
To be fair, they are trained to handle the emergency first and talk second (The axiom “Aviate, Navigate, Communicate” teaches pilots to fly the airplane first, then navigate, and once the situation is under control, communicate.). If it was a rapid situation and co-pilot was not available it's not impossible that the call was not made.

More damning is the timing of the transponder being turned off. It happened on ATC switchover.

I'm trying to remember how we used to store it -- decimalization was 20 years ago this year!

I think we had a discriminant for the denominator, so it wasn't a rational type, but we could also easily represent both fractional and decimal prices. We could handle fractions smaller than 1/16, though I don't know if any equities traded at such prices. What you suggest would also be reasonable, but would have had to be rewritten when decimalization happened.
Yes it does. I didn't got the phrasing right. Sorry! Anyway my comment is valid, I was not really sure if I should keep the recursive picture or not. But I didn't resisted...
They said that like 3 years ago though…
> Several patients have presented with transient "Capgras delusion", a psychiatric disorder in which a person believes someone close to them has been replaced by an impostor.

> "It's quite disturbing because, for instance, a patient would tell his wife: 'Sorry ma'am you cannot get in bed, I'm a married man' and even if the wife gives her name, he'd say: 'You're not the real one,'" Dr Marrero says.

You could spice up a lot of marriages if you could harmlessly cause Capgras delusion for a few hours
Here in Sweden, the train company SJ had tilting trains for the 2000 model and abandoned the concept for the 3000 model, because passengers complained of discomfort, or so SJ said. A small speed boost is not worth tilting the train.
According to Giuseppe Remuzzi there were strange pneumonia cases in northern Italy in November 2019, but as far as I can see they were not reported until March 2020.

Apart from that I remember the first reports from China in December 2019.
I’m not assuming that at all, that is my point and I’m not familiar with FB’s terminology nor have I ever used their ad platform. However Signal have said on Twitter that their ads were rejected and the screenshots show that they weren’t.

My point is that Signal have jumped the gun and made some serious claims against Facebook when their account may have simply been deactivated for any number of reasons. There is no evidence based on the images provided to show that FB deactivated the account because they didn’t agree with the campaign. Now that doesn’t mean that isn’t the case, but it’s a big overstep by Signal to then go and assume that.

I could setup an ad account tomorrow and and run a campaign and find that the account has been deactivated. Do I then assume that it is deactivated because FB didn’t like my platform? Do I create a blog post and share it on Twitter also assuming it was because FB didn’t like my campaign? No, I investigate and if it comes out that I wasn’t in compliance with their policy that may or may not be easily interpreted, then I write the posts. Until then all you know and all you’ve shown the public is that your account was deactivated for some reason.

I remember reading about it end of December 2019. I believe it was a Reddit thread with some worrying reports on the ground.
All of those things are for sure taken into account, but the key input for pricing is:

- type / year / color of car (gives price and your attitude)
- how many km driven / year (no risk if it stays always on your drive!)
- where is it parked

A small anecdote: I did a project for an insurer once. When we discussed the extreme detail the actuarials wanted for each policy, the client remarked half jokingly that the color + engine size was almost enough for the actuarial model.
