I’ve never had problems with fraudulent items or anything buying off Amazon, but I do find myself buying from it less and less.

Sometimes this is because I simply can’t find what I want. More often, this is because the biggest benefit I gained from Amazon, namely the next day or two day shipping via Prime does not seem to be as common anymore.
If he can handle the cash flow, he'll be fine. The government printed enough money to pay him in the end.
It is actively discussed at HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27114718
I only use Amazon when they're the fastest shipping option and I'm in a hurry, when they are a lot cheaper, or when I'm actually looking for the no brand Chinese knock off.
Toilet paper hoarding in these scenarios is always funny. Look, you're not going to be flushing precious water down the toilet (if sewage even works), you will be shitting in a hole somewhere outside. In which case any paper, rags or big leaves will do just fine :D
Yeah aware of that.

Short of a scenario like GME where there is an actual shortage of shares to short it won't move the needle given that available shares generally exceed borrowed shares.

It's a liquid market...so if I don't do this all that happens is the people shorting pay a fraction of a penny more in interest. For someone serious about strategically attacking something as a gambit / strategy that makes zero difference.

You can actually kinda see the effect in your own reports because it's proportional. e.g. If I have 1000 shares and only 200 get lent out then there isn't much short pressure. I've only seen it at 100% a few times and then interest rates soar so compensation for is good.

Ultimately it'll return to the intrinsic value of the company in the long run, so don't particular care about short term shenanigans

If they worked, would Babel have more money? Looking at their website, it seems it is a free project. No mention of any paid product. Then how would they have more money had one person worked?
Do they pay anything to the maintainers of the packages they depend on?
Don't get me wrong, you can make good money writing software in the UK, particularly in London, but you have to go contracting.

I've basically never seen a perm software role come up that pays six figures.
As far as I know, the new concurrency features can be adopted gradually which would make it very simple for developers to transition from the current completionHandler-based model to the new async/await-based model. Every Obj-C UIKit method with such a completionHandler parameter would from now on be available in two ways from Swift:
1. as usual, with completionHandler
2. new, without completionHandler, marked as ‚async‘ and returning the input types of the completionHandler
They’re reacting to the new hires who are mad that the stock is currently down.
I always want a recommendation I trust or a book chapter preview or an author I trust.
The majority of mails in my spam folder is plaintext mail. Second place are the extremely malformed HTML mails. Almost any wellformed HTML mail I receive is solicited at minimum.

I can recommend using the unsubscribe link if you forgot to uncheck the newsletter checkbox during registration. Alternatively send them a mail to A) remind them of the SPAM-CAN act or your local equivalent legislation and B) that they should delete your mail from the newsletter. That works almost always, if not you can always threaten legal action (where I live, that's an easy 600€ of profit in a courtroom).
Breakthroughs in Materials Engineering for DRAM Scaling
Basically you are not going to be able to shift a ton of people’s worldviews by a ton of bits towards any particular new worldview/perspective/probability distribution.

But you can probably shift people’s worldview over the course of years, with a small followership, if you consistently get demonstrated popularity/interaction feedback, because people can’t help but pick up on when others get consistent attention and then they start to be more open to what you have to say.

Dumb stuff doesn’t stick, it flies.
1) Which government? Germany: Allows exchange traded funds on Bitcoin; tax-free cash-out if you hold longer then a year; US? Tesla is holding BTC on their balance sheet, Goldman Sachs and others are offering it and the ETF might finally be approved by the end of the year.

2) Noone involed in BTC wants to change that. The miners have control over it, but who in their love of mind would vote to increase the supply and basically devalue your savings?

3) There is no anonomity effect on BTC and never was. It is all tracable.

4) User growth? Not even 1% of the population have BTC.

5) There are custodty solutions. Or just store your BTC on a cold wallet, remember the recovery phrases and throw away your Ledger or whatever. It doesn't get more secure than that. If there is no hardware wallet, noone can access your BTC.

The Macro View IS Crypto, or part of it. With 5G and 6G, electrified cars, IoT etc., crypto is basically embedded in the digital world. Bitcoin is not crypto and is basically for Boomers, the space already moved 10x beyond Bitcoin.
Ask HN: How much worth is news.yc.com

> Was in the emergency room with my son a few months back, not overflowing or anything, but I wasn't there to track Covid cases.

In most (all?) hospitals, Covid cases are separated from general emergency because you don't want your emergency room transformed in a constant cluster.
"All of a sudden, the feminists who talked about the sorts of things feminists had been talking about for years, instead of about race, were proponents of “white feminism” - a toxic ideology which centered feminism around the needs of white people. Nobody was able to figure out a way to be feminist which survived this critique, other than to call yourself a feminist but actually only talk about race. After years of constant victory, New Feminism was stopped dead in its tracks."
If you used to work in kitchens then you know that you should only buy digital thermometers that support calibration. Follow the manufacturers instructions on proper cleaning and don't submerge them.

I have at least 3 floating around that ran me $12ish dollars each on Amazon and use them daily.
I'll give you an advice I wish I learnt earlier in my life.

Don't think how something does not work, how it will be broken from the get go. Don't come up with negative use cases - its easy.

Do the opposite, its much. much harder. But as the result you can arrive at new ideas (be it business or art). After and only then you can work on workaround for the negatives.
Ask HN: AZ Arc, GCP Anthos, AWS Outpost, Crossplane – real developer benefit?
AZ Arc, GCP Anthos, AWS Outpost, Crossplane (and more I am sure) are variants of dealing with multi cloud.

To the developers in the real world, do you see any value with these in your day-to-day work?
I've heard lot of elevator pitches, but never real world experiences.

> The answer was in my original comment: It's expensive to write one, and while you may read cover letters, you are in a minority, and a job applicant has no way of telling which camp you're in.

Why is it expensive? You can write it in 10 minutes. I've looked at the last cover letter that I wrote, it's 12 sentences in total.

> Also, I'd like to ask: How often do you disqualify a candidate based on their cover letter? If you do, given that you don't disqualify for not having one, wouldn't you agree that those you disqualified after reading their cover letter put themselves at a disadvantage by writing one?

I don't recall ever in my career disqualifying someone based on the cover letter. I can't even think what they could put in the cover letter that would automatically disqualify them.
I think you've invented quite a backstory about him being marginalised, but consider that when he left Bell labs he got offered a wage 17% short of a US congressman or the top 3% of engineer or "natural scientists" wages. This is not the pay for someone whose work is being dismissed.

My point was that actually he was mainly a physicist that simply started by studying engineering.
Well, it seems to me that the creators of the mentioned frameworks cite Elm as their inspiration – even if it wasn't the genesis of the concept.
Yeah, for graphics it sucks. OTOH, for CUDA it's literally just plug-and-play (at least on Ubuntu 20.04).

Makes a nice change from five years ago, when I kept breaking my display in order to make CUDA work.
I don't think it is possible to have a viable alternative to Amazon without running into the same problems Amazon has.

The alternatives that more and more people seems to be preferring is specialty sites focusing on just one or two product categories or the manufacturer making it easier to buy directly from them.
> The graphics chip can halt the CPU until it has reached the start of a new scanline.

This seems similar to the horizontal-blank interrupt that's available on later machines, where it's widely used to change color palette or scroll values part-way down the screen. Because it’s an interrupt, though, the CPU doesn’t have to wait for it and can do other things during the active display period. As toast0 says, on the NES this interrupt is usually provided by hardware on the cartridge, but other 8-bit consoles (including the Game Boy and Master System) support it natively.

> Manipulating this setup on the fly as in "racing the beam" is really more exploit territory.

Even on the NES, "racing the beam" is not unheard of. For example, Marble Madness uses mid-scanline changes to draw text boxes in the middle of the level graphics. For part of the display it uses timed code to switch from the level nametable to text and back again within each scanline.
I always thought these rules were essentially a stylistic sound grab, and really not very informative of how distrustful parties rendezvous in adverse circumstances. Really? They say very little. I think spies use one time pads and dead letter drops and avoid contact.

The implicit artifice of Le Carrés yellow chalk and thumbtacks and poplars and meeting at 7 or 17 past tge hour.. they're not that different to "son of the charm" and magic tricks with coins and rhythmic paused speech in Kipling's "Kim"

They can't be very important or Le Carré would have been warned off.
That's insane! That alone should make it illegal on the road.
It's pretty amazing how useless twitter threads can be for actually containing the relevant information, even if it has actually been tweeted as part of it. He has more specific allegations if you dig around his twitter profile for a bit and you can in principle look most of the details up because the development is all public. TBH sounds like this could become a bit of a mess, if it isn't already.
You can still have your assurance pay the cost of setting your revenue stream back up the hard way. As long as the money isn't going to the criminal groups.

> It's fairly easy to be on £60k outside of London with a few years of experience.

Yeah, but that is the point isn't it - in the US and some other countries you have the potential to earn a few hundred K per annum. That sort of money just isn't available to software people here. In fact you're more likely to be offered around £50k for a 'senior' role somewhere.

IMHO it's partly because here in the UK we don't really regard software engineers as skilled professionals, most management structures seem to treat us as generic office folks, and unruly, childlike ones at that.
I think that's great. Unless you have a shitty internet connection with data caps it should not be an issue.

On a more fundamental note, I think it's pretty ridiculous that every apartment in the building I live in runs its own wifi network, screaming at the top of its lungs to be heard in the noise.
To govern is to intervene, if a government doesn't intervene then what purpose does it have?
Thank you for the feedback - using a Telegram Bot is a useful hack to let users share resources from mobile without having an iOS app. This adds a small friction for non-Telegram users but is a good way to test demand!

Why an experiment? Isn't there a Black Box, like on aeroplanes, with logs to definitively answer the question?

That seems like the commonly held belief, but is it really the case?

1st world countries are well stocked, have know-how, have a lot of people (and a lot of educated people).

I'm inclined to believe they'd recover faster and with better results (i.e. no anarchy, no descent into dictatorship, good QoL) than third world countries. Worst case, they'll be invading poorer countries, sadly.
Because it’s not accurate. So far as I’m aware, even today it’s statistical functions still have flaws.

Don’t use Excel.

> I bet we could create crafts with modern tech that where tiny and much less expensive that the original pioneer and voyager crafts.

It's harder than you'd expect. At that distance solar panels are essentially useless, so you do need nuclear power, and you're continuously exposed to cosmic rays, so you need radiation-hardened electronics. Both of these drive up the cost. The Voyagers also had the the outer planets in alignment to give it a gravity assist, so if you want to get there on the same time scales you'll need a more powerful rocket as well.
Candela will also provide boats for a trial with the Stockholm Public Transport system, which currently employs quite a few traditional boats for transport around the city.

This is explained on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofoil#Foil_configurations

Basically, yes, for fully submerged hydrofoils you need to make sure you don't get too high or low. For surface-piercing you don't, they self-stabilize.
Hey there! We have had the same issues with the current A/B testing methods! Looking forward to trying out Volument and reading a more detailed study about it too.

ps. Button tests are ...
The idea of using a multi-agent game, rather than minimizing a single loss function, is already used in GANs - and there it seems to be an very powerful generalization of optimization. Personally I would say the idea is extremely interesting.

GANs have lots of applications, and PCA is useful for various tasks in data-analysis: compression, feature selection, reduced-dimensional modelling. I doubt finding applications will be a problem.

Reliably finding solutions (Nash equilibria), is much harder than optimization for minimum loss however. So I see these being much harder to train than loss-based models.
>I also recognise that if Tesla doesn’t get out in front of every single incident, it may set back the replacement of human drivers with safer AI drivers.

Tesla doesn't need to get out in front of every incident. Musk feels the need to because of the outlandish claims he continues to make about how close Tesla is to having autonomous vehicles. This is something Tesla's board should have reined him in on long ago.

>I don’t really trust any famous person for privacy, because they necessarily don’t have even close to as much of it as a normal person.

I agree that famous people have less privacy, and there's a lot of unfairness around that. But even if Musk hadn't chosen to become a public spectacle, that doesn't give him the right to treat others the same way.

> Distros don't even automatically install and configure TLP when they detect an internal battery.

TLP isn't magic. More than half of its documented options are inapplicable to current hardware or kernels, and a fair number of the remaining options that could still have an effect are not safe for distros to ship as defaults, usually because they'll trigger firmware or hardware bugs. Installing TLP by default would be far from an actual solution, and isn't even that great a first step toward solving platform power management inadequacies.
But in French, the word "bit" (as a French word) would be pronounced /bi/, as with dit ? That the French chose to continue to pronounce it in the English fashion suggests that they rather like the joke opportunity :-)

Do you think your local circumstances are broadly generalisable? I would be surprised.
I like this style but in a twisted way. It allows me to immediately detect a low quality stuff produced by numerous (tasteless) companies. This is a strong signal I just cannot ignore. If a company chooses to blindly copycat the templated low quality crap, this says a thousand words.

Kind of? CCGs are well known for their predatory monetization schemes.

Dumb insurers it seems. Money going from dumb actor to smarter actors. This is capitalism.
"when you share your Bridge’s connection with Sidewalk, total monthly data used by Sidewalk, per account, is capped at 500MB"

Given that it's US-only, where most internet plans have pretty high caps, it's hard for me to get upset about this. I would have expected my Echoes alone to use more than that during normal monthly operation, playing music, fetching news, etc.
Seems like a really clean and testable system, too. Can make a harness with a set of inputs, run the cycle and test outputs consistently. Performance is also easily checked, each cycle needs to run without 100ms for the 10hz systems, I guess, including garbage collection.

Nice it see things kept this simple.
A Tesla will, yes. But even a small Toyota Yaris will absolutely smash the breaks if you try to drive above parking speeds against something. It's EuroNCAP mandatory for top rating so every 5 star rated car from 2021 has this.
> Humanity hasn't sent any probe having an extra-solar system target since 1977??

The Voyagers didn't have an extrasolar target either, they were meant to visit the outer planets. If we're looking at probes that leave the solar system after their original mission, we launched New Horizons in 2006 to Pluto, and it's currently in the Kuiper Belt on its way to leave the solar system.
Not if it's a fake Rolex. Trademarks provide a lot of wiggle room for firms to make a legal nightmare if they chose.
Why are you assuming all the CS candidates are not passionate about the degree. It doesn't make sense. Many are deeply passionate about CS and will learn on their own. This is compounded by the theory in uni and learning opportunities.

Professionals are prone to confirmation bias.

Stanley, Black and Decker, Dewalt, Irwin, and Porter Cable are all tool brands made by the same company in the exact same factories. People have ran extensive "scientific" tests on job sites and on YouTube on the battery life between them. Everyone has a favorite that lasts the longest or is best under load. Aside from the metal contacts and plastic housing to make the batteries unique to each brand - they all contain batteries from the exact same two suppliers.

Hi Wes - thanks for your feedback! Indeed PKM is still a big, unsolved problem. Too bad many of the solutions created only end up being side projects - I still believe there is room for an end-to-end integrated "Figma" of resources management. Sent you an email to share our thoughts! Cheers
Cool. Another one having issues with the traditional A/B testing. Good to hear (sorry). Just confirms that we are solving a real problem.
Neat, but there are literally multiple of the same game available. Just google ”broken telephone drawing game”. What new does this bring?
Look at another aspect. There's the work aspect: the lucky fellow who was paid $11k/month for creating one PR and two issues. There's also management/overfiew aspect: the organisation that didn't notice that it was paying.

If the organisation (I realise it's just a few people) were paying enough attet6ion to notice that it was paying for ~nothing, then it's a fair assumption that it would also be paying enough attention to its sponsors.
I’d expect data caps to be some of the worst in the US. Poorer countries had their internet infrastructure put in much more recently. That said, I also suspect you can’t just look at mean (average) speed to get a feel for that.

> The maximum bandwidth of a Sidewalk Bridge to the Sidewalk server is 80Kbps, which is about 1/40th of the bandwidth used to stream a typical high definition video. Today, when you share your Bridge’s connection with Sidewalk, total monthly data used by Sidewalk, per account, is capped at 500MB, which is equivalent to streaming about 10 minutes of high definition video.

Seems this is not about guest hotspots or the like, but a separate network for Amazon devices.
TBH the title is a bit misleading. Amazon plans to use your internet for API calls related to its devices, similar to Apple’s Find My network. I’m more curious about the location sharing bit.
