I don't know why you got downvoted, but I agree that matrix manipulation in numpy look quite foreign to to somebody new to python/numpy. I had heard this "complain" from several colleagues (mostly former matlab-users). Several colleagues have migrated to Julia, which does a quite good job in producing easy readable numerical code. For instance, the dot-product can be written with the Unicode dot symbol (typed as \dot<tab>)
Of course they should be allowed to sue. Whether the suit makes sense or will be dismissed outright is up for a judge to decide.

The interesting thing is, accounts being off by a penny or two (excluding actions such as customers doing a mis-type in the bank transfer) can actually point to deeper issues such as improper rounding somewhere in the path.
As mentioned in another comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27046552), it's possible the pilot chose to make his plane unlocatable because if it cannot be proven he intentionally downed the plane, his family would receive a payout from the airline.
Yeah but you know what they say about different folks.
I don't understand this, so I'm guessing this is a "feature" of Android... but Signal _mixes_ SMS messages and Signal messages inside the Signal app, and doesn't visually differentiate?

In that case they can store quarters of a cent instead of hundredths of a cent, and still be able to store $0.0625, while increasing their range by a factor of 25.
Very curious about Georgia for this
You are right that fractional shares typically don't come with voting rights.

But: if there was demand, Robinhood could totally offer fractional shares with voting rights.

For each vote, there's typically only a finite number of possibilities.

So Robinhood could just pool the voting intentions for everyone with factional shares, and then vote the whole shares accordingly.

(To be really nice, Robinhood would just own a small handful of extra shares, so that they can round up those pooled votes to full integers.)
They aren't that scalable though. For example, every ad system I've worked on requires every ad creative in RAM. Having an ad creative with each combination of a life event, job title, interest, and city might be 100 bytes * 10 life events * 1000 job titles * 1000 interests * 1000000 towns/cities = 1000 TB of RAM.

That needs duplicating in every ad serving datacenter. (say 20 for facebook)

Will facebook be dedicating 20000TB of RAM to signals ad campaign? Thats $86 Million for the hardware alone. I think not...
I honestly really wish this isn't the case again.

Python is falling behind fast. Look at how well PHP has improved in performance and how Ruby is doing lately.

This resistance is biting back.
> At that scale wouldn't it be easier to just build everything out of a few VMs at a cheap service?

No. I looked into AWS vs Azure vs Cloudflare vs Digital Ocean for something I'd like to build this year and (for my thing) Cloudflare (Workers) was the best balance of cost, scalability, and maintainability.

> I don't understand why so many people want to use AWS for such small budgets.

Serverless (I hate the term) makes a lot of sense for small budgets and projects. You're investing very little, so the downside of (severe) vendor lock-in is somewhat low. The upside is HA infrastructure, horizontal scalability, zero maintenance, ignorable monitoring (at least initially), consumption based costs, etc..

The biggest problem with all of them, except Digital Ocean, is that it's difficult to "own" your data in the sense that you can download a copy of a DB and keep using it somewhere else. IIRC Digital Ocean has a fairly nice managed PostgreSQL offering, but it still scales similar to a traditional DB (ie: not automatically).

The next biggest problem with AWS and Azure is that you can't figure out what anything costs, at least not easily. For example, I know for a page I'd want to serve via Cloudflare Workers, I could do 1 hit = 1 point read from Azure CosmosDB, but I couldn't figure out if the pricing includes egress. Just look at the pricing page for CosmosDB [1]. It's ridiculously complicated and that's one service on Azure.

Higher education does not influence how the brain ages
One thing I remember from trying it about 2 years ago, was that its syntax conventions etc was similar to clojure but different in some aspects, made it a bit of a chore for someone used to Clojure to keep track of the differences while using Hy.
I guess I'm still a sceptic. It's like me saying I can't believe people didn't get onboard with $GME stock or something. The rise of Bitcoin and a lot of cryptos (DOGE for example) has been completely irrational and fuelled mostly by greed.

Arguably Bitcoin is technologically inferior to other cryptos and there was really no reason to think Bitcoin would remain the dominant crypto in 2010-2017. Betting on Bitcoin a decade ago was like betting on Yahoo or Myspace stock because you thought search engines or social networks would change the world -- even if you were right, you would be wrong. It's rare that the first of anything remains on top for long because better iterations always shortly follow. I strongly thought ETH was going to surpass Bitcoin's dominance early days of ETHs rise, but I was wrong. IMO anyone who was investing in a technologically inferior crypto currency that had clear scaling issues and almost non-existent usage as a currency got lucky.

As for whether I've changed my mind now, I still have no idea what the point of Bitcoin is. It will never be a useful currency so that leaves it's main use case as a store of value and there are plenty of assets which hold their value with less risk, so why would I ever use it?

That said, I'm still more bullish on ETH and I'm glad it's been getting more attention recently. But even then I'm not convinced that the blockchain will be used outside of very niche applications and I'm not sure if it's as revolutionary as some people suggest.
How about actually having a likable personality, which easily tops all other qualities? Dating apps do prioritize looks, and especially during COVID I believe it makes finding a partner harder. But in-person the initial “not-as-good-looks” can very easily be overcome if one is kind, honest, funny, etc.

This is why I see Julia's uptake as positive, because if that isn't going to change the community aversion to these attempts and will rather keep writing C, nothing else will.
Somebody should try the Mulisp approach. There was simple set of rules to transform Algol-like syntax to Lisp syntax.

You would not need to learn Lisp of any kind, you just add some parenthesis to a Python line and it becomes linked list data for a macro definition. And with one-to-one mapping, we can transform the macro output to back to regular Python line.
Any atomic mass falls under that classification partly. It is storing the energy of E=MC^2 in a somewhat stable configuration, until enough energy is spent to unleash it (exothermic process.) I don't know if these particles consume other particles in the normal sense, but they certainly interact, ie. photoelectric effect and whatnot. One could see the creation of new, higher mass particles, as a form of consumption. The lines get very blurred the more you look at it.
I totally disagree with your view on Brazil, I have had lots of dates with many kinds of women and lived in Rio Comprido, and had a long term relationship and many friend in Brazil for a few year and I have found it is very acceptable to have had many partners for young women, and that "overly sexualized" image that is perceived from the outside is for the most part valid and people are much more open with their bodies, showing their bodies, and even hooking up with strangers. All you need to do is go to carnaval. Maybe some evangelical christians are like this but, even among them, I find many are sort of 'born again' after a fairly hedonistic lifestyle.
I disagree, Signal claimed that their ads were rejected. Yet the images provided show that for the campaign in question there were no rejected ads. They need to provide something a little more accurate to argue that.

My argument is based on the fact that Signal have come out with an official blog post about it, because they believe that Facebook have rejected their ads and have disabled their account because of the campaign. They have not said that Facebooks UI is confusing and they’re unable to figure out how to unblock their account, they have made the assumption that the campaign was rejected because and I quote “Facebook is more than willing to sell visibility into people’s lives, unless it’s to tell people about how their data is being used. Being transparent about how ads use people’s data is apparently enough to get banned; in Facebook’s world, the only acceptable usage is to hide what you’re doing from your audience.”. This is a massive call to make and is a big overstep in judgement without much to substantiate your claim (based on the images). Even if it was due to Facebook’s confusing UI, I think it is irresponsible for Signal to simply assume this is what Facebook have done and why.

If it has come down to what you say it has, it does not look good for Signal.

Social media is having a magnifying effect on unhealthy parasocial relationships. People are becoming more and more attached to online personalities rather than having real life relationships. This isn't necessarily a new phenomenon but social media makes it worse.

Companies are increasingly taking advantage of this and its not likely to stop. The podcasting industry and companies like Peloton are prime examples and its not healthy.

> "Influencers that grow that seem like “normal people” likely get famous because that’s exactly the point - what they say and do, and the faux-intimacy they grow with their viewers creates a human connection that these people want from their lives, with someone they find approachable who also happens to be famous."
This. 100% this.

I have had issues with students doing the same thing, and I was being charged for dormant projects that I thought I'd deleted. AWS is a nightmare of an ecosystem to navigate.

The AWS Educate Starter Account is almost useless - especially if the student has to submit their project for external review - because it doesn't allow publicly accessible S3 buckets and has rotating credentials.

If they literally never mix, it doesn't reach the population it isn't in.

But that's a bigger ask than you'd think. Stuff moves around, on its own, and often, on humans and human artefacts. Like for example, mosquitoes breeding in a puddle on a boat.

This is basically a worry people have about gene drives, that they will jump from places where they are wanted, to wild populations that are doing nobody any harm, and eradicate whole species.
I mean that just like life is a specific case of an optimization problem, perhaps the particle types are too. They survived, were the fittest, and then became populous through mechanisms of self-reinforcement.
It works alright with React if you treat it like regular DOM elements, but there's rough edges like SSR event handlers not working:
https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/18390

Unfortunately it seems facebook isn't prioritizing fixing issues like this.

I'd suggest using preact if you want a framework that's more compatible with web components but gives you the React experience.
On the other hand, some of these limitations, especially ones made after 2000 or so, can be really shortsighted.

All of mainstream computing should have 64 integers by now, 4 digit years, etc.
Annoyingly, Azure does have this capability! If your company is a Microsoft gold partner (there might be other requirements, I can't remember) then your Azure developer licenses comes with £100 free credit per month. When this money runs out, every service associated with that subscription just shuts down. It doesn't overrun, heck I don't remember even getting an email about it, they just stop until it renews the next month.

They just refuse to implement this system for non dev licenses.
Wonder what happens if there are no more tax haven period. Just wonder what they going to do with that 50 plus trillion dollars. Be good to invest in education and infrastructures.
There’s lots of rules and patterns in this implementation, but it’s worth bearing in mind that you can normally get a clean URL by looking at the <link rel=canonical> element.

Sites put this in because they want search engines to index a single clean URL rather than many tracking URLs, so it’s pretty reliable.
That's not AWS though

Actually Bitcoin miners are more likely to use renewable energy. Renewable energy is cheaper (mainly hydro) and miners can easily move to the cheap engery. Fossil fuels (coal, oil, LNG) are transportable and sells for a higher price
> But, in all systems of law that I’m aware of, you can’t make enforceable contracts with children.

In most (all, I think) US, contracts with children are generally legally valid, but voidable by the child. This means the child (or the child’s guardian) mau cancel the contract before performing any obligation. It does not mean that once completed, the exchange can be retrowctively invalidated, though.
If you "own" one share, or 100, there are a couple of layers of other people who "truly own" the share, and you have a contract with them. You can look up Cede & Co and the DTCC.

Your arrangement with your broker for fractional shares is similar, though not identical. They're not just selling you a derivative product that they may optionally hedge with BRK/A.
Isn't the real question "Why should transactions inside of funds get to avoid taxes?" or "Why is it that if you and 8 friends each own 11% of an offshore fund you owe capital gains on transactions inside the fund, but if you and 10 friends each own 9% of an offshore fund you do not?"
I can see decentralised cloud computing gaining more traction, things like IPFS but with computation/logic processing too. blockchain and crypto are only just starting.

> I find it much more likely that it's actually your broker who truly owns the share and you have a contract with them. This is not at all like a house which can actually have two true owners.

Well, a share of stock can have two true owners, it's just that public stocks don't.

The legal ownership structure isn't hard to find out; it is actually mandated by law. All publicly traded stocks are owned by the company set up for that purpose. Doesn't matter whether you're the contractual owner of a tenth of a share or the "sole owner" of a full share; the share is owned by DTCC.
At a previous job (over a decade ago), I worked on software that stored prices in centipennies. I'm pretty sure it's no longer in production. At least, I hope it isn't.

But these things sometimes surprise me. A few years ago I paid a visit to my coworkers at the job I had in high school in the mid nineties. I had written some sort of email processing program in C; I don't even remember what it did any more. I was told they are still using it, 25 years later. Awesome or scary, I don't know which.
I don't think the point here was to actually run these ads. They don't look like they'd drive a lot of conversion, and there's a big risk that quite a few would actually be inaccurate in practice - Facebook's algorithms, while they know a lot about you, can also be quite wrong.

But you can't see that in an article like this, and it's far more likely to reach the right people.

You tried to play the "treat people as individuals" card, followed it up with the "poor white person is gonna resent you" card, and finished off with the "I want decency" trope.

Congratulations, you hit the white supremacy apologia trifecta.

You could have scored bonus points if you had also included "not all white people" in your reply.

Did it ever occur to you that the reason that we have civil rights movements in the first place is because the state and corporations DO NOT "treat people as individuals?" Maybe you haven't noticed, but this is why people are pissed off in this day and age. It's why they have these discussions, and it's why they aren't willing to just ignore casual racism in the workplace.

Discussing factual information is not "kicking at another group of people." You can have ALL of your feelings hurt for all I care if it means that people aren't getting targeted by cops and harassed by store employees for the crime of being black and existing in society. White folks have been resenting discussing the problem of systemic racism and the role they play in it since Reconstruction. People are done tiptoeing around the issue so you can feel good about yourself and pretend everything is fine.
I have a very dumb question. I'm currently trying to implement web components into a pretty basic flask site, and I'm really having trouble. Does anyone know any resources about basic implementation that I can review?

I have an idea for a project (I call it 'cannon' for now)[0] which would 'canonicalize' URLs and extract semantic information from it, ideally just by looking at the URL, without doing any extra requests. For example, a tweet URL usually encodes the tweet author and tweet ID; and by extracting such entities one could determine 'relations' between URLs. I'm using a simple prototype in Promnesia [1], a browser extension aiming to make the web browsing history more useful and aid knowledge management.

This effort is really ought to be shared, it's potentially a lot of manual work, and could benefit many projects. ClearURLs seems like one of the most promising existing projects doing similar stuff; have been meaning to approach the devs, feels like it's something we could cooperate on. Although ClearURL has a somewhat narrower scope, but still I feel like there is a potential to share.

I used it to integrate sketching into a web-based diagram editor ~10 years ago and it was a breeze. OK, I had to train it myself. But it takes only minutes to draw all the shape variants needed. In practice I used 6 shapes and about 5 variants per shape. I conducted a usability test and the $1 recognizer only failed to recognizes the sketches 2-3 times out of ~300 shapes drawn by different users with no additional training.

A caveat: When you submit a request to archive a url, archive.is sends the client-ip (X-Forwarded-For) to the destination server.
