Right on - I would just say fairly early on in this process we knew what Covid did when to who and how, but we didn't adjust the strategy in the US to match the new information. Which left a big gaping 'Why'? (and yes, easily filled in with p < 0.05 possibilities)

That's because many of us are skeptical of the current cryptohype. I'm sure many innovative things will come out of all these experiments, but right now, it feels like many people are taking the opportunity to con other people into using real money to buy their virtual money brand.

If you want a cryptocurrency-friendly forum, the r/CryptoCurrency subreddit would be ideal.

Not much discussion on this. Presumably Twitter sells a subscription service that includes access to news sites through Scroll. They'll have to significantly increase the news services offered though.
A major reason things like sex or (even worse) racial differences can't be rationally discussed is that human beings are so horrible at statistics.

Averages do not apply to the entire population unless the variance is literally zero. You could stamp that on a mallet and beat people with it for hours, and yet if you state an average people will continue to apply it to the entire population. "Women are on average more peripheral" instantly becomes "women are more peripheral period" and by extension "men are not peripheral period."

Even very intelligent and educated people do this.

Our collective insanity about statistics manifests in lots of other context too, like people being afraid of terrorists and mass shooters while they'll still ride around in cars or being phobic of vaccines while continuing to eat horrible artery-clogging fried food.

If humanity were to fail as a species and someone in the afterlife asked me why, the fact that we are seemingly incapable of understanding statistics is something I'd cite as a major contributing factor.

A second problem with open discussions of differences is that human beings seem hungry for reasons to denigrate other human beings. Any difference becomes a reason for some group of people to say they are "better" than another group of people.

Last but not least is the fact that while just about everyone believes there are differences across virtually every axis, people are skeptical about the details. This skepticism isn't unreasonable. Psychometrics is an area of science with one of the worst replication records. Forgive me for becoming skeptical when really strong and specific claims from a science with a terrible replication record are used to try to push arguments that denigrate large groups of people or apologize for injustices against them.
That's not the point. You pay them because they're working. That's how things work in civilised countries.
Good progress overall, especially on the Rust side, I wonder if C++ and Rust would at some point follow the same roadmap when it comes higher-level compute features or rather deviate and develop at their own pace.

> This is particularly pervasive in fields like sociology where political essays are masquerading as science when it is in fact not.

The "is vs. ought problem" strikes again, it seems. There are plenty of politically-motivated folks in "soft" social studies who can't quite tell the difference between talking about the world as it is, vs. what we might want it to be like. The more rigorous social sciences are a lot clearer on always striving for a clear distinction between "positive" (i.e. "descriptive") and "normative" talk.
The risk of cow->human BSE transmission is infinitesimal. Species barriers in prions are surprisingly strong and, for practical purposes, nearly impermeable [0]. In fact, the Prion Protein (PrP) in humans causes multiple distinct diseases including CJD, Kuru, and FFI. Infectious prion confirmations are probably highly influenced by glycosylation [1,2]. Even if this testing wasn't god awfully slow, it's unclear one learns anything from it.

I was thinking "cargo cult" reading your first point, and was quite happy to see it mentioned in the second.
None of those are analagous to the question at hand.

People are clearly using the emoji they want because they want to in and of itself, end of story.

They're not doing it to satisfy the government or access software or whatever. And no, I'm not looking for the word "instrumental", because emoji are about expression, which is literally the polar opposite of something being instrumental.

Sometimes it's not about looking twenty moves ahead. Some things are just valuable in and of themselves. Some things are about the moment. Perhaps that's the perspective you're missing here?

Just because some things are instrumental doesn't mean everything is. And thank goodness for that!
You seem to be attempting to normalize this by comparing it to the US legal system, which strikes me as odd given the huge difference between the two. The US government couldn't give Trump a parking ticket without affording him the opportunity to challenge the citation before an independent judiciary (or, if he were to press the issue, before a jury of his peers). But Mark Zuckerburg can ban him from (the modern day equivalent of) the public square with a snap of his fingers!

There is nothing normal about it.

I used to do this, while the setup is a bit simpler:

- Use wordpress.com instead of self hosting WP.
- Get a webhook call to a Cloud Function (GCP's Lambda equivalent) and import the HTML.
- Put it to the static generator (Hugo) data on GitHub.
- The CI setup for the blog kicks in to publish it.

I prefer WYSIWYG over text editor while I'd like to own my data.
So this worked very well.
Sorry but what programmers use is not relevant here.

The trick is to bring it to mainstream audience in a way that's not awkward.

The closest thing I've seen to mainstream terminal is the JavaScript console in browsers but... that's again for programmers (albeit also casual ones).

In professional apps like premiere, the closest thing to a terminal is a search box that's smarter than just looking up words in the documentation. And that is preeeeeeetty shit.

We can do better.
Unintended side effect - continued decrease in funding of pubic education.

My experience - niece and nephew went to non-secular school grades 6-12. Almost half of each senior class took calc. Not because they were smarter, but because they were of middle-class families that enforced educational aspirations and expectations. Almost all parents I spoke to chose this school not for spiritual reasons but to remove their child from their perceived mediocrity of public schools.

This school also offered scholarship, based on need only, to local inner-city children. None of these children had been in an 'exceptional' track in public school. But the scholarship kids all excelled and did well academically.

Of course they are. Like everyone else, they do what they're being paid for. It's the companies that outsource manufacturing to China that create the designs and set the quality standards.
Isn't it inevitable that sooner or later a train will be on that section of track moving slowly? So any train that can go on that track has to be capable of staying on track even if they are stopped or barely moving.
We use the ETag header to make use of browser caching - not just for performance, but as a component of offline support. Yes, we could add an additional header with the same information to work around this specific extension for application-specific functionality using it, but that would leave the browser-based features broken.

While the ETag header may have been usable for cross site tracking at some point in the past [1], browser caches are isolated per-origin in Firefox, so there's no longer a cross-site tracking concern. That leaves it usable to identify you across sessions only in a first-party context, just like cookies, IP addresses (to a lesser extent), the Last-Modified header, and any number of other identification techniques ClearURLs doesn't block.

[1] I'd be interested to see any credible evidence of ETag headers being used for tracking in the wild - I've only seen theorizing that it _could_ be used as such, prior to cache isolation being implemented in Firefox and Chrome.

Not trying to be antagonistic here for what it's worth - I see your statement as far more guilty of casting your understanding of this technology as a culture jamming point of pride than the GP.

Furthermore the implication that "people who unironically refer to this process as ETL" is the dominant culture (and statements expressing the irony of giving the most common form of computation a specific meaningless acronym are necessarily "culture jamming") is not correct in my experience but YMMV

Indeed this headline is editorialized against HN guidelines. The original headline is:

"To Promote Equality, California Proposes a Ban on Advanced Math Classes"

and it seems, at least upon quick inspection, to be factually accurate (although the article content itself is far from neutral).

@dang if you get a moment this headline could benefit from reverting to the source headline.

EDIT: Actually after digging another layer down in the linked sources, I'm not sure even the "proposes a ban" is factually substantiated though it's hard to tell for sure without going one layer yet deeper and scanning through a 300 page report.
Based upon this series of postings, it sounds like the problems in the original tweet are the result of decoupled enterprise payment systems, rather than the opposite. As if someone somewhere forgot to manually flip some flag or that they paid wasn't properly distributed throughout the byzantine distributed system.

Oh the unintended irony. Go's syntax may be simple enough to pick up in a few weeks but writing "good" Go code turns out to be much much harder. Idiomatic Go can take a year or two to internalize and introducing non idiomatic Go code into an established code base can really muck it up.

You can see this clearly in job listings looking for Go coders. Almost nobody is looking for junior level Go coders with less than a year of experience. Companies are looking for Go coders with at 2, 3, 5+ years of experience instead.

A simple syntax may provide benefits, but it doesn't seem to be the benefits most companies want in practice after all.
Well, Fuck Netflix.
My point was that, just because they're doing work as an intern, that doesn't mean they are doing work they should necessarily get paid for. Both college and an internship are situations where

- the junior individual (intern, student) is doing work

- the junior individual expects to learn during the experience

- the senior entity (college, company) is expected to put effort into making sure the junior has learning opportunities

- the senior entity can expect the junior person to contribute less productivity to the company than a full employee

Now, how similar/dis-similar they are depends heavily on how much the internship focuses on the learning experience and how much the intern adds to the company.

But to say that the intern is definitely contributing more than they are gain is factually incorrect. And

> They are giving up their labor and should be compensated accordingly.

The thing is, "accordingly" is open to interpretation and, in some cases where the intern is getting a lot more than they give, it's reasonable to argue that it is "not at all".

An often overlooked aspect of statistics of human traits is that even a small difference in the variance of a normal(ish) distribution results in a large difference in the extreme quantiles. As men tend to have more variance in everything due to having only one X chromosome, it's expected that the most extreme individuals in everything are more male than female. In addition, when some aspect of the society is organized like a winner-takes-all game, it is naturally the most extreme individuals, who are mostly male, who end up at the top.

As every function of the society scales more and more, more things become winner-takes-all games and end up being male dominated. However, it is hardly useful to frame it as some kind of sex warfare since, unlike many feminists claim, this doesn't help most men at all since they never had any shot at the top anyway. It's more like we have three "sex groups": all women, normal men and extreme outlier men. The only way to prevent the extreme outlier men from dominating everything is to prevent winner-takes-all games.
We were inspired by this idea while building early prototypes of Fig (https://withfig.com) and wanted to bring rich interactivity/discoverability to existing terminals.

The goal is to layer on a CLUI style interface to all of the CLI commands you already use!

"Everyone is equal" is about equal rights and affording people basic dignity, not "everyone is equally good at everything". I don't think you'll find anyone who earnestly believes that all people are equally intelligent, or equally strong, or equally funny, or whatever.

> Companies do not exist for the pleasure of the founders

I disagree with this notion, even as you might agree. If I'm making a company, it exists for my sole pleasure. If it didn't, then I wouldn't have bothered creating the company in the first place.

> The board is the CEO's boss, and just like with any boss, behavior has consequences.

I would make a company to get away from having a boss at all, not so that a board could now be my new boss.
I'm not looking for a 10x improvement, I'm thinking of getting closer to the ideal. So many things are hidden behind layers of obfuscation and forced trust (authority). If society as a whole put many of these functions on chain, at least the hiding would go away.

Long term, I'd love to see fully open implementations of the justice system, education, political donations, property/ip rights, DNS, adtech, on the chain. I don't care if they make money, I'm not saying there are riches here. But I for one would have loved blind grading that is verifiably blind, when I was in school. Teachers had too much arbitrary power. I also would love to earn from my own advertising data, and willingly be able to give it to sites. I could keep going.

Blockchains are obviously a buzzword, and the current crypto hype isn't without plenty of scams. But revolutions don't occur in days or weeks. The push towards trustless and decentralized systems is happening right now, and in my opinion, benefits society. It could take decades to replace systems currently in place.

I confess to having committed this sin. The order tracking at my employer suddenly started crashing during load and this happened when I was on the other side of the world with only e-mail access.

The culprit turned out to be a Y2K38 bug on my part triggered by a salesman fat-fingering an order into the 2060s. The only Y2K bug I had wasn't worth fixing--one list of reports was "date"-sorted (dates in the filenames) and making the display wider was more of a downside than dealing with the mis-sort at rollover.

Always treat an "offer" for work without pay like the insult it is.

It sounds like you're thinking about the mat-vec operation in terms of "Grab one row of the matrix, take the dot-product with the vector, and repeat for each row of the matrix."

But it's also possible to think of it as "Grab one element of the vector, use it to scale the corresponding col of the matrix, and repeat, summing results." Both are efficient means of finding the result, and both have block-level versions that play nicely with the machine cache.

Meanwhile, linear algebra also often involves finding vector norms, and scaling vectors, and so on, and the way we usually set up tables means that the vectors of interest are generally columns of the data tables.
If you imagined a world where a small cabal of power bankers could control monetary policy, why is it hard to imagine a small cabal of powerful bitcoin miners could do the same?

The tech encourages large miners in terms of hardware and infrastructure investment. There's a race to the bottom for compute and power consumption that small miners can't really compete with. In this way the system could conceivably move towards that small powerful group.
