It's not an insult directed at a single person. I'm echoing Isaac Asimov's critique of American culture: https://aphelis.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/ASIMOV_1980_C...

> "The original headline of the piece was itself an unsubtle threat: “As a CEO, I want my employees to understand the risks of not returning to work in the office.” (Over email, Washington Post Opinion editor Fred Hiatt told me that Merrill did not write the headline. “I asked our team to change it early this morning to something I thought better captured the piece,” he said.)"

As an aside, this unethical practice in the media irks me. It's really despicable for the Washington Post to write a headline from the perspective of the CEO, which the CEO never said themselves.

Does anyone know of any good non-partisan orgs that attempt to quantify and track these unethical practices across the media landscape?
> Goodwill can start an unofficial recycling sorting operation, and learn to make a profit center out of this cost center.

Most recycling centers are running at a deficit because no one wants to buy the recycled material.

It's fine to disclose /that/ they did it, but /why/ did they do it? Repeatedly?

Hospitals and doctors were basically not handling any non-covid patients.
I find it hard to believe that it costs them $1 million a year in waste costs. The potential to make money and/or tax credits from everything that can be recycled must largely outweigh the residual trash that needs to be dumped. When we threw away a large amount of junk to a junker before moving, I was talking to the worker and they said they not only make money on the junk pickup, but they make money on recycling everything they can from what they pick up, which was over half of the net weight.

If places like Goodwill are having trouble figuring out how to make money off the stuff they can't sell, you should hook up with a junker and split the proceeds as well as save $1M/yr.

It's been around for more than 10 years. See CFR 2018 Title 32 Vol 6 Part 2002 (https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2018-title32-vol6/pd...) if you want details. DoD implementation ramped up about a year ago.
> They could theatrically also launch fewer, but put them all the way into their final orbit

I wonder if they might choose to do this so the sats keep more of their onboard fuel, and will be able to keep themselves in orbit a bit longer before the inevitable re-entry burn up.
The thing about FAANGs and BigCos is they have more money than they know how to spend. The majority of that headcount spend is just to capture "talent" so others don't have it.

I've seen millions of dollars-worth of software development waste as FAANG and BigCo. Nobody bats at eye. Because it's a bizarro world with no consequences. All you gotta do is not get wrapped up in it and collect checks ;)
Hi neighbor. I've actually noticed the quality improve substantially over the past few years. They've gone from just being dumping grounds for old GMAT prep books and law school textbooks to having fairly current stuff that one might actually want to read.
as the world gets more secular, this is the inevitable result. the basic human need for these things doesnt go away, and it just manifests in strange new ways
I’m not convinced by this - “Innovation happens in fields where our ideas are limited by our means to pursue them” - but it’s written as if it’s self-evident. Why would it be like this and what is the argument that it is? By what measure is computing stagnant today compared to the 60’s, for example?
It's already near impossible for people not from top tech schools.

I don't know what generation you are, but for millenials, the 2008 crisis was a real doozy. Anecdotally, only maybe 20-30% of my cohort found stable, well paying full-time jobs in the 10-12 years since that recession.

Many of them put their life plans on hold due to not being able afford things that a family generally requires.

So the "future" is already here. And has been for about a decade.
What is the mathematical difference between testing against a holdout set of data collected at the same time as the data used to fit the model, and a holdout set collected in the future? I'm in total agreement that avoiding, e.g., overfitting is a good thing – but what work is prospectivity doing here?

Also, if I understand correctly, none of the modeling done in standard texts such as Gelman et al.'s Bayesian Data Analysis involves prospective validation under your definition. Should we then classify the examples in that book as "mathematical fairy tales"? This seems like a fairly strict standard!

Because Americans were helping to finance something, does not make them directly culpable.

More importantly this is raw populism, not details.

If there were conclusive evidence that mapped COVID to the lab ... I think literally Chinese people would be murdered the same day in violent outbreaks in Philippines, Malaysia and India for example. There would be anti-Chinese riots literally the world over, every Chinese business would be wary of having it's windows smashed in, politicians would have to balance tamping down the violence with doing politically populist acts of retaliation etc..

It would be really ugly. I can see people on CNN begging to stop the violence.

That America sponsored some of the specific research I don't think would much factor in either in the US or anywhere else.

Business between China and the rest of the world would have to transform quite dramatically.

All actual facts aside, that would be my big worry.

I don't see it.

Let me try again. Pretend an uneducated person reads some fabricated anti-semitic screed with conspiracy theories and nonsense and believes it to be true.

How does one pull them out? It's not this forum's job, ok, fine. But the question stands.

And what more the grifting propagandists writing those lies say "this is secret hidden history! you get banned for talking about it because it's all controlled by the secret order!" or whatever bogeyman they have to blame

There's a significant number of people that are falling for this crap and next time there's a January 6th we may not be so lucky. There's usually a failed clown show coup a few years before the real one because society fails to address the causes.

How do you think atrocities like the armenian genocide and
other mass slaughterings gain support? These wacko-doodle conspiracy things like bitchute, parler, and gab are what produce it. It was pamphlets and parties back then and now it's posts and sites.
You're questioning the value of reverse-engineering things in general and publishing them on the internet or this specific reverse-engineering?

For me the basic value is just having more knowledge published in the open for anyone to read. I might not have any practical value of it, either ever or today, but I did learn a bunch reading it and I'm glad I did.
This is an oversimplification. Amazon also profits from fake reviews because they encourage consumer confidence, and most of the solutions that "random internet individuals" propose would result in some lost revenue for Amazon. The tricky part is Amazon's counter-aligned business incentive.

I put it in the same bucket as fake accounts on Twitter. My guess is that Twitter can correlate many accounts that do nothing but troll and shill for particular factions, and probably has a registry of these accounts, but they also lose MAUs when they nuke accounts. They have an incentive to wait until user growth comes in stronger than expected before they ban lots of active users.

For me personally, the biggest weakness of Amazon is commingling of inventory. I never buy things like lubricants and bearings from Amazon, even if the seller is an authorized distributor, because there's no guarantee I will avoid knockoffs from a different seller. I'd rather buy from Walmart or pay more for a specialty retailer to ship me the product, because Amazon inventory is often mixed with cheap knockoff garbage.

> As good as rusoto is, an official SDK is a huge step forward.

Yes. It might not be "a huge step forward" in tech terms, but it would be definitely very positive for wider adoption, especially from "enterprises" where all is based on "standards".
Oh yeah, mitumba, something that has thoroughly wrecked African textile industries - hard to compete with "almost free"

Ironically, "fast fashion" may finally bring an end to this, since this low quality stuff in donated (and thus almost destroyed) form isn't worth being shipped over to Africa, whereas "fresh" FF clothing from Asia is as cheap as mitumba was before.
> the ads shown to the user are indeed more likely to pique their interests

They're more likely to convert the targeted user. That's not the same thing.
Because you can literally make millions of more guaranteed dollars if you just go work at Facebook or Google in easier problems serving ads.
That last sentence displayed your preconceptions and biases very clearly.

America has an array of similar or even more abusive laws and it’s clearly not socialist.

Too stupid to be real, check three times if not a scam. Or who knows, their program goes to great lengths to make you pay so maybe it's consistent with the way of thinking there.
Ask HN: What to do when you lose interest in Programming after 10 years?
So, I have been a tech guy for last 10 years of my career where i fairly enjoyed and held pride about my work but recently my perspective has changed. I now feel like a puppet to CEO/Execution guys who gets all the limelight and my contribution is kind of sidelined. That makes me feel unimportant and think that i have chosen a wrong line of work.
Anyone else feel like it? How to cope with it.
To be fair, patching existing binaries isn’t all that easy to begin with. Once you need to start moving around structures, a lot of bets are off. In case of NixOS, I’m sure the long nix store paths added often overflow structures and require workarounds to avoid breaking images. Hacking around Win32 PE images, I’ve run into a lot of tricky subtle issues over time...

There are very few ways of having zero memory overhead, though.

Also, most of the flaws of Java's memory management seem to be concentrated in the part of the language that says that almost everything has to be an object with a header and on the heap. Remove that and your graph of objects to trace shrinks very substantially.
The cloud and p2p networks are different things.

Bittorrent (in its traditional use case of piracy) is still as illegal as ever and still going strong. So are cocaine sales, as is Uniswap's giant permissionless unregulated/unregistered securities market.

I think perhaps people overestimate the ability to effectively regulate.
"Given that there is insufficient evidence to estimate these contributions to excess mortality, for now we assume that total COVID-19 deaths equal excess mortality."

I think this is the correct way to think about this problem, as it is likely to be an underestimate, rather than an overestimate.

In other words, counting suicides probably doesn't matter, as the number is very low. The paper says as much: "The main potential increases in excess mortality due to deferred care and increases in drug overdose and depression are hard to quantify at this point or are of a much smaller magnitude."

The paper overall goes into very great detail about what was and wasn't included and why, which is vastly more rigorous than what you seem to be presenting, which is effectively throwing up your hands and saying, "we'll never know!"
I'm really disappointed in the images in that piece, so low-res you can't read the text. For the BL that's pretty awful.

I noticed that the top line of the compared newspaper parts also appears to change, but it's so badly rendered and so small as to be almost unreadable.

Why would they do that?

Aside, whilst it says "Copyright British Library Board" the content is/should be free-gratis and free-libre reproducible under the Reuse of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015. Really it should have a better imprint, something like "free distribution and reuse allowed under this policy" with a link. Even better would be if they'd adopted a more widely recognised license.
https://api.dart.dev/stable/2.6.0/dart-core/int-class.html:

“Classes cannot extend, implement, or mix in int.”

https://api.dart.dev/stable/2.6.0/dart-core/num-class.html:

“It is a compile-time error for any type other than int or double to attempt to extend or implement num.”

⇒ it seems that, technically, you’re right. int is an object in Dart. At the same time, it’s a restricted type of object.

So restricted that I think it is aan object only in name/at compile time.
Then I'd suggest you're not being reasonable at all, because the way it works is entirely consistent with a privacy-first methodology.

That <something> by the way is to take the database that's only on your phone (and never uploaded) and show only you an alert. That's it.

If this is immoral, but letting covid spread around the world and have people needlessly suffer because you refuse reasonable interventions, then I don't know what is moral.
This is Java.
TBH I'm really not mad that I'm blocked. The real concern here is whether or not personally identifiable info (due to the craziness in the US these days) was really critical to resolving whatever issue they think they detected from my end.

EDIT: Also I should mention, the implications are probably vast. I'm a tiny speck compared to (for example) identifying political organizers, etc...
You would have to convince UK that owns 42% equity of the OneWeb company that plans to launch initially 648-satellite constellation.

You will probably sooner see EU, Russia and China decide that it is their strategic interest to have their own constellations. As it was with GPS. Currently we have the United States' Global Positioning System (GPS), Russia's Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), China's BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) and the European Union's Galileo.

What are you talking about?? Here in Poland(which isn't a poor country!) You can't even buy Starlink here, our astronomical organisations are already complaining about the pollution of the sky, but how can Poland tax an American corporation polluting our sky????

So the question should be - how can an American corporation deprive other countries of accessible view of the sky for profit and get away with it? Because it might be accessible by everyone eventually? That's frankly not good enough. Elon Musk isn't doing this as a charity, but even if it was it still wouldn't be acceptable.
Exactly.

This is akin to people complaining about how wind mills ruin their views of things.

I know that these sats will affect many telescopic observations, but that's been happening a long time. In most cases, satellite streaks are algorithmically removed.
I will have to disagree with you on the merits of the company (keeping in mind that this is just a press release, not a journal paper or pop-sci article). I work in this field, and personally, I am more excited about PsiQuantum than about Google's or IBM's transmon devices. If you would like to get the technical details, I would suggest checking their APS March Meeting conference talk (it is recorded and available online). They plan to use the "cluster state" model of quantum computation that has some significant advantages when scaling up (easier to scale up, even if difficult to produce the initial prototype). Check out "Why I am optimistic about the silicon-photonic route to quantum computing" by Terry Rudolph (2016) for more details.

Personally, I feel PsiQuantum is the only company that does not talk about nonsensical near-term quantum applications and quantum machine learning and quantum optimization and other questionable applications of quantum computing. They are pushing hard for the creation of actual quantum computers.

Edit: I am probably a bit biased, as a lot of my work does indeed involve photonic hardware.
I know these people. I've known some of them for decades. They're not terrible people. They only become terrible when they're on social media.
Awful.

So many commenters arguing about the accuracy of the statistical models used to reach the 900,000 dead figure.

Missing the terrible, tragic, point. Too many people have died (and too many been disabled - for each death about 10 get "Long Covid") It did not have to be like this.

This is/was a tragedy. There have been way too many deaths. Some places did much worse than others - perhaps it is time to start thinking about, and discussing that?
That seems to be over simplifying, every database is "just running a loop over a list stored in RAM." The challenge is in how you build that list, and then with a GUI the challenge becomes how to display it. Win95 had to run in very memory constrained environments compared to today so I'd imagine there is some special considerations there.
Wow, yeah, our company started emphatically asking us to take our days off piecemeal because we all went heads down in work and our days off became a financial liability. We spent the last year with benefits cut and idea that worry that we'd be having layoffs after the first round of furloughed employees weren't rehired.

So some different realities for sure.
I'm trying to say: 'Of course, nobody talks about those.'

Since it's soooo obvious that we should all hide our failures and glorify our successes without questioning this practice (I did say 'of course'), I understand how you missed the point.
Apple has been using ARM on and off since 1993. They have more long term organizational experience with ARM than they did with x86.

The Newton, then the iPod, then the iPhone, and now the M1.

The iPhone is a more important device for Apple than the Mac from a revenue point of view, and they've sold more devices with ARM chips in them than they have 68k, PowerPC, or x86. They've sold 2.2 billion iPhones. I can't find an easy number on how many Macintoshes they've sold totally, but I can't imagine it's close to that.

In fact, they used ARM in the Newton (1993) before they used PowerPC in the Power Mac (1994).
Yes, do not interact with Goodwill. From the linked article:

"Goodwill’s Charity Racket: CEOs Earn Top-Dollar, Workers Paid Less Than Minimum Wage"

"An American multi-national corporation, which accepts millions of dollars in government funds, pays its top executives more than half a million dollars per year in total compensation, while simultaneously paying some of its employees less than the federal minimum wage."

"Some employees earn just 22 cents per hour."

Can you guess who they're exploiting? Disabled people.
Rusoto is awesome, but looked to have an uncertain future. I hope the new SDK can reach the same level of quality and breadth fairly quickly.

Also, rusoto is a great name and I hope we get to keep it.
Yeah, it wasn't meant to criticize the project as a whole; I'm happy that at least someone took on the project of "growing" the rpath section... My only point of critique is they should immediately tag a new version after a bug fix, cause many distro's have buggy versions of patchelf.
AFAIK they don't gain access to the BLE contact database on your phone, so what exactly is it that they could be transmitting of concern?

As a German, this is such a strange thing to read. This basically does not happen here. It is actually newsworthy when a police man had to shoot someone. There were, maybe, twelve people killed by police officers in 2020 (per ~83 million inhabitants!). Beside that, it's also fine to film police officers on duty? You might want to come over for a visit - it is actually really nice here.

(And fyi, on top of not being rooted in (German) reality, this was a slippery slope argument anyways.)

Edit: fourteen shot and three other deaths, according to [0]. Sadly this included two children and her police officer mother in a murder-suicide situation. That's why I am generally very glad that weapons aren't available to everyone here - you can't shoot yourself if you have no gun.

They finally worked out that Uber is a scam??

Uber is a scam soaking both drivers and investors, with the corporation's management skimming off the cream of the cash.

If Uber had to make money the same way that real taxi-companies do, the prices would rise to realistic levels and drivers would be paid a proper wage. Unfortunately for Uber in that situation, they wouldn't be able to survive financially because their clients would disappear overnight.

The only people making any money in Uber are the company's management.

The local government shouldn't charge Goodwill for collecting their trash.

Start learning about business.

You have a skill, and it is not a solid match for you and your growing inclinations. This happens. Has happened to me a few times actually.

My advice is: Approach something new the same way you did before.

Along the way, keep your current skills sharp, network with others in the new area of interest and soon you will find yourself combining all of that in new ways.
