I mostly disagree with this breakdown. The product is great if you're not making email your full-time job. I love the screening process, I find I get less spam in my inbox than I did with gmail and miss less emails that I care about. The minimalist design with only a couple of things I care about is a net positive versus other services interface that is flooded with features I don't really care about.

Really the only major gripe I've had with Hey is the lack of calendar integration. I don't give out my hey email because it is a pain to handle calendar invites, I give out my gmail and forward the emails to hey.

All of that being said, I get why power users aren't happy with hey. But I'm not sure it was made for power users, I think it was made for people who hate email and want as little of it in their life as possible.
True, but also your phone utilizes the same GPS signals. It's all about the maps. Your Garmin typically had maps for the whole country preloaded, your phone typically downloads them on the fly. So in the boonies your phone knows exactly where it is in terms of longitude and latitude, but hasn't a clue where anything else is.

These (and others) are the costs I am speaking of. The vast majority of HN commenters will tell you that these costs are worth the upside in user privacy (which is totally fine!).

My point here is that the costs are not fixed. Over the decades we will see other, often sensible costs added to this list. While each individual cost may be small, they do accumulate and they influence who can and cannot start a business (or even personal website!) that deals with individuals from the EU.

Large companies will always be able to pay these costs. Some small companies may not. What you make of this is up to your personal interpretation, but I will miss the web of 00's where it felt like anyone could build a website or online business with next to no overhead.
I just got a really cheap one, and haven't used it yet. Will it be a bad experience? :D
Interesting how some of the linked studies either contradict your statement, or seem to have nothing to do with it.
That's good example, because nobody would complain if stack layouts changed and those programs failed. But if the compiler chooses to "optimize away" checks on stack layout, that's a different thing altogether. Also note that if you use pthreads or Linux clone or you are writing an operating system you can need to rely on exact stack layouts even today.
I'd love to read a follow-up of those folks, now that it's been some years. Does anyone know of such an article?
A lot of this is just spending more money and resources to make it possible to optimize for speed.

With sufficient caching with and a lot of parallelism makes this possible. That costs money though. Caching means storing data twice. Parallelism means more servers (since you'll probably be aiming to saturate the network bandwidth for each host).

Pre-aggregating data is another part of the strategy, as that avoids using CPU cycles in the fast-path, but it means storing even more copies of the data!

My personal anecdotal experience with this is with SQL on object storage. Query engines that use object storage can still perform well with the above techniques, even though querying large amounts of data from object is slow. You can bypass the slowness of object storage if you pre-cache the data somewhere else that's closer/faster for recent data. You can have materialized views/tables for rollups of data over longer periods of time, which reduces the data needed to be fetched and cached. It also requires less CPU due to working with a smaller amount of pre-calculated data.

Apply this to every layer, every system, etc, and you can get good performance even with tons of data. It's why doing machine-learning in real- is way harder than pre-computing models. Streaming platforms make this all much easier as you can constantly be pre-computing as much as you can, and pre-filling caches, etc.

Of course, having engineers work on 1% performance improvements in the OS kernel, or memory allocators, etc will add up and help a lot too.
Still misleading, they voted to look into it. It's a HUGE waste of money since it wont go anywhere in congress.
I read a book that had a quote:

"'Fair' is the first half of 'Fairy Tale,' and you won't find either in the real world."
Yes they can vote to leave the state but they should also not get any of the tax dollars from the more densely populated counties that stay behind. Thank you , sayonara!
> One way to imagine the phrase is to think about people with cloistered views in politics, religion, social views, etc. These people could get "offended" by being exposed to more cosmopolitan views but ultimately evolve to be better people by the experience

Not disagreeing with your main point but in my experience it is usually the opposite, people with “cosmopolitan” views being offended by “cloistered” takes, but eventually growing as individuals and coming to understand why they think what they do
Would Oregon necessarily be against this? This seems like a great way to (a) get rid of nut jobs from the state legislature, and (b) get rid of a bunch of counties that sinkholes (financially speaking).
This is exactly right. Pretty much anytime the government takes anything over or has a new program...it's a shit show from the beginning. See "Cover Oregon" for a waste of a few hundred million dollars...see "Pandemic Unemployment Fraud" for what is probably a hundred billion...see "PPP program" for what is continuously being found as having tons of fraud...see "Oregon Unemployment still programmed in COBOL and can't adjust the waiting period" for non-financial incompetence. If any area in government could run efficiently and we saw evidence of that...it would be a lot easier to convince everyone that things like universal healthcare would be a good idea.

> Gravity IS space

> Of particular interest would be trying to categorize areas with positive or negative contributions to a person's or region's productivity

Having a map which highlight regions which has a negative balance sheet in terms of taxes vs government costs would mostly just be a map of segregation of class, which in turn would be a map showing segregation of different demographics. Illustrating which demographics are costing the government more than they pay in taxes is not something the left in my country are very happy to do, and I doubt it is that much different in the USA.
That is precisely correct and I think it's a good mention. I made it more clear in other comments after people brought up the burden of having to filling out tax forms constantly. You won't often execute transactions that actually qualify you for this level of reporting and in almost all circumstances the financial institution backing the transaction will actually do the reporting (bank or credit card company). If the payment is cash (which is beyond rare for transactions of this scale) it'll still usually only be required for the vendor to report the transaction.
This entire study seems to be centered around a theoretical, mathematical model, and I didn't see any attempt to actually validate that model.

Basically, the authors seem to assume that the virus behaves according to their formulas, and show that under their assumptions, face masks work, but don't actually prove that their assumptions match reality - or did I miss something?

All Systems Are Human Systems
Except that field data shows they don’t because they are not used precisely as required - which means the filter doesn’t work effectively if at all and then it becomes infectious waste that isn’t treated and disposed of correctly.

Human system effects dominate - as the field data shows. It’s like HCQ - works in a lab, not in the real world.

Might be useful in tightly controlled medical settings with adequate filtered ventilation. But there’s no hard evidence beyond that at this stage.

Feynman’s rule still applies.

The last Republican who won Oregon was Ronald Reagan. Although, to your point, LBJ was the last Democrat who won Idaho.
I came in to rewrite software that runs a warehouse. The old software, was half working but used for 10+ years, the source code provided was different than what was in production(original dev lost it LOL).

As I decompiled the production version and met with managers to learn/document the process. I quickly learned that nobody knew the process. There were pieces of information in people's head, and in several old apps. However, nobody clearly understood the process, where the data is exactly stored or how the data flows.

The app took more than a year to write but could have been written in 2-3 months if previous projects had decent documentation.

To develop an app for an enterprise you really need managers to be on board, otherwise, the new app will suck just a bit less than the one it is replacing. There are politics involved and petty arguments. Many people are just unhappy at their jobs and it leaks into their work.

There's a lot to unpack in your short utterance I just would like to comment on eliminating SAT scores.

> Noninstructional factors explain most of the variance among test scores when
schools or districts are compared. A study of math results on the 1992 National
Assessment of Educational Progress found that the combination of four such variables
(number of parents living at home, parents' educational background, type of community,
and poverty rate) accounted for a whopping 89 percent of the differences in state scores

Wouldn't it have to be a 4d substrate for c to be the "time" step-rate of the simulation? What does flat mean in this context?
Clearly humanity saw and knew about the Moon since forever, and somebody likely did think of walking on it or whatnot.

At some point in the 17th century our technology allows us to have a better view of the Moon and even led to this https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/17th-century-a...

I think this may count as a new "discovery" phase of our relationship with the familiar celestial object, and may have indeed prompted an uptake in fantasies about perhaps one day walking in it.
mind you that there are far more radical options aswell, like major restructuring of the economic system thanks to climate change.

it seems the current economical system is having more frequent and intense crises which the market cannot solve. Who knows how long the system will be sustainable once more and more of the earths resources are economically unobtainable?

It only takes massive social upheaval to completely change the economic outlook for specific groups of people.
A good example of this is the wealth many people amassed in the 20's which they lost thanks to war or revolution during the 30's and 40's.
Unfortunately there is _absolutely_ popular doubt about this, and every other thing you likely think is obvious about covid and the world. I don't think educating people about masks is really the answer though. I don't know what the answer is, or if there even is one. Feel like our society is coming apart at the seams.
So the first to implement it would be HFT?
I'm talking just human nature here. If something is forbidden , illegal, subjectively immoral, etc. then it's difficult to both admit and seek help with that thing. I don't have any data to hand to back my assertion that criminalization negatively affects treatment, however if such data exists, then it would be less surprising (to me) than the inverse (criminalization makes it easier to get treatment).
Yes they can vote to leave the state but they should also not get any of the tax dollars from the more densely populated counties that stay behind. Thank you , Sayonara!
That's not realistic. Animals love drugs, from monkeys eating overripe fruits to get drunk to goats eating coffee beans to catch a buzz (and yes, caffeine is just as much a drug as anything else).

Telling adults not to use drugs -- don't come for my coffee mug without an army -- is about as reasonable and effective as telling teens not to have sex. However great you think the reasons might be not to do those things, people are going to do them. We've been doing it for millions of years and aren't likely to stop now.
Regarding point 2: When I worked for a valet parking company not too many years ago it would astonish me how many people would 'remember' they must secure their GPS in the glove box, despite leaving much more expensive items like iphones/laptops/purses/wallets in plain sight strown around within their vehicle. They were an easy and common theft target at one time I guess .
A science study that only shows, as this one does, that face coverings cover the face is not very useful. The public policy piece is much more complex. High masking states did NOT do better on COVID than low masking states.
Now that you mention Ireland, it occurs to me the UK plays second fiddle compared to its former colony. After achieving independence, the Irish Free State and its successor, the Republic of Ireland were dominated by right-wing, conservative, Papist and authoritarian nationalists.

Modern art and music – particularly “evil” jazz – were all banned. Our best writers had to leave the country. The writers that didn’t leave had to apply to the Department of Justice for permission to possess a copy of their own book. The video nasties of the eighties didn’t even have a chance to become a problem in Ireland.

The UK’s censorship of the Irish Republican movement paled in comparison to that of Ireland. Enforcement of Section 31 of the Broadcasting act began in the early seventies and lasted until the mid-nineties. And it was often interpreted to prevent Sinn Féin members from speaking about non-political issues. We didn’t even get to have Stephen Rae’s voice standing in for Gerry Adams.

As a young adult in the mid-nineties, censorship was still an issue: I only ever saw Oliver Stone’s “Natural Born Killers” on a very crap video in a student centre. I remember watching Robert Rodriguez’ “From Dusk Till Dawn” in a cinema in the Netherlands knowing that it was banned back at home and around the same time, I remember it being a big deal when the ban was lifted on Playboy magazine.
waste of time. we should not promote face mask
I wasn't referring to pronunciation, but rather the word having a slightly different meaning than how it's being used.
That's a very cool visualization and I wish I'd seen it before. I am curious though as to what makes some viruses have higher R values than others. These masks more effectively stopped influenza and I still don't understand why.
"large sections of the drive" are virtual in SSD. Overwriting a file doesnt mean rewriting same sectors, and once system TRIMs a piece of disk it stops existing. For this to work Disk device would have to understand file systems, be able to decode NTFS etc.
Many of the more "advanced APIs" are unlikely to be shipped in either Firefox or Safari because of security and privacy concerns.

For example, Chrome released File System Access by defaul tin Chrome 86, on October 6, 2020.

And yet, as late as August 2020 they were saying that they'd just got the spec in shape: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/154#is.... And there are still unresolved issues around actual security of the thing (that Chrome happily ignores).

The "spec" itself lists 13 issues: https://wicg.github.io/file-system-access/

I've talked to a lot of these people in passing and they honestly believe Oregon is a red state but is being cheated by Portland. They always point to land area thats red as proof.
Then they would probably be winning elections on the state level instead of trying to redefine what the state is.

The natural endgame for that is to place all governmental function at the federal level.
New CEO Onboarding at AWS – Last Week in AWS
The study about mask being ineffective is about cloth mask. That's why the hospital masks are no longer made of cloth.
You are exactly correct, and being downvoted because of religious zealotry. This is a mathematical model. Yes, face coverings cover the face. It's a long (and ultimately disproven) leap to: face coverings materially suppress virus in a society of millions of people.
The US seems to have relied heavily on cloth masks, even long after the shortages were over. From my understanding, surgical masks are much more effective (while often being more comfortable) than community/cloth masks. (I don't have a source for this on hand, but the German government did ban cloth masks/require at least surgical masks in many areas for this reason.)

I suspect a lot of that was out of a desire to not appear as backtracking on a previous position.
Some are indirectly related, but all are linked in some way. Like how some find that it _could_ have a positive effect and postulate how, but that the studies they reviewed in the meta-review didn't _show_ that.
I'll be fine. Don't you have some certs to research?
Yea, I looked it wrk2 but it was a no-go right out the gate. From what I recall the changes to handle coordinated omission use a timer that has a 1ms resolution. So basically things broke immediately because all requests were under 1ms.

I think you need to read up on why the subsidies were started in the first place because you're obviously clueless.

The rest of your argument is laden with all sorts of cognitive dissonance. Subsidies are given for things like food because if a society doesn't of have food it's a really bad thing so the government props up the industry in bad times (in this case during the Great Depression) and we don't starve. It's not an altruistic handout, it's way of keeping you from starving to death genius.

The fact that you think it's a generous handout from the "elites" and government indicates that you think it's unnecessary which means the farmers are profitable on their own and your entire asinine "hypothetical" comment about them starving to death without it gets thrown out the window. The subsidies cannot be both necessary and considered a generous handout from the coastal elites. Pick one.

We import about 15% of our food supply right now. Good luck making up the other 85% with cheaper imports. Relying on external food supplies is a massive security risk and disadvantage as well.

I'll agree with the latter point, but I think having less per-capita emergency services is a bug as opposed to a feature. I'd be willing to bet it's a matter of the land/buildings/employees necessary to run such services are far more expensive in areas where land/labor/everything is more expensive.

The issues that we ran into were related to the port range that WebRTC attempts to use.

Half the articles on your list are tangential (masks make it marginally harder to exercise, ok duh). The article posted helps us understand why the viral concentration in the environment also impacts efficacy, it helps explain why some of the articles you posted see inconclusive results.
A lot of people have entirely different perceptions of risk than actual risk exposure.
The problem is wearing mask is annoying and uncomfortable. If I have to choose, I'll choose the increased risk of covid all the time rather than wearing mask.
