Ah I see, apologies, I understand your concern.
If we define 'big' and 'small' as being above or below the average (mean) value, then you're quite right that it breaks down for many cases, like the one you gave. But if we define 'big' and 'small' relative to the middle (median) value of the distribution, then it becomes a robust result. Hope that helps!

It's not quite as simple as "it works like 'Lord of the Flies' or it doesn't". Nicholas Christakis, in his book "Blueprint", devotes a chapter to a database that he and his grad students made of shipwrecks, where the survivors lived long enough, in enough isolation, that they had to more or less put together a temporary society. There were lots of cases where they turned on each other, and lots of cases where they did not.

The missions are part of the Discovery Program and are intended to be "small" (by NASA standards) missions.

They basically selected hardware that uses flight-proven sensors and instruments derived from existing and flown hardware plus one delivered by the German space agency to minimise risks and costs.

An airship would blow up the mission to a flagship-type mission, which wouldn't fit the program and would never be approved (especially in light of the utter disaster that both JWST [1] and NGRST aka WFIRST [2] turned out to be).

I'm also happy for new Venus missions and I don't mind less ambitious missions at all - I'd rather have a successful "boring" orbiter and a basic atmospheric probe by 2030 than a grandiose proposal that maybe gets approved by 2025 and then launches in 2040 :)

Why would you think this? They found shared infrastructure and TTPS related to other attacks for the actors.

edit: And what's with the "hacks" scare quotes? We know exactly how the attack happened, step by step... in what way was it not a very straightforward hack?
The irony is that Germany approaches the problem completely backwards by starting with the hardest part first. Once Germany is done with all the hard parts progress will speed up dramatically.

I wonder as more companies start to push more people to get back into the office, more people will want to keep working from home, those companies that offer full remote work will be able to pay less and get better employees?

I guess the question is, are you willing to work from home and get paid less than if you're forced to go back in an office? I took a pay cut 8 years ago to work from home, so my answer is YES and after working from home it's HELL YES this was totally worth it.
Nuclear power plants and nuclear explosives are roughly as related as fertilizers and chemical explosives. Related physics, very different applications.

Hyrum's Law strikes again:

Most people will say no, but I think if you add some constraints it gets a lot easier. Things like MFA and a zero trust approach are extremely effective against attackers. If you have the ability to start early and get that sort of approach in place you're going to be one of the harder targets out there.

There's obviously way more to it than that, but a huge problem today is that once an attacker gets into a network they can hop around as they please due to implicit trust. Removing that implicit trust and checkpointing access via u2f are huge barriers.

It's also not super hard imo to gradually move to.

> This should be illegal for Paypal to do, period. Absolutely illegal.

In the US, it *is* illegal for any bank or other regulated financial company. But PayPal claims that they aren't that.

There are lots of other ways to send or receive money and most of them don't have the reputation that PayPal has.
1) no chrome-like tab groups

I like Tree Style Tabs and I've heard good things about Sidebery.

2) "save file" is greyed out when you download a file, requires an extra click

This makes me feel old. I remember back when this was added and some of why. (Used to be bad malware that would try to auto-download stuff back in the dialup eras where you couldn't afford to download stuff you didn't mean to download.) It's less useful today and been a while since some of those worst malware programs like that have existed or been seen as much in the wild. But even knowing it is mostly theater at this point I still have this "comfort" in the added safety of that "extra click". (And I have never liked Chrome's download anything and everything automatically by default approach.)

4) still feels like it's playing catchup to chrome

The other perspective is: Chrome maybe needs to stop running so far out ahead of all the standards work. Now more than ever with such a huge percentage of the web audience, Chrome should maybe take some responsibility and slow down for the sake of better web standards. As a web developer I know that I still take seriously "if it doesn't work yet in Firefox it is too soon to safely depend on it", but I'm an old (as established above).
Yeah, lists of objects are pretty crap, because they're almost always homogeneous but unenforcédly so; it's not just a size issue but a parsing (or not - usage) issue too.

You could approximate CSV in a JSON response like:

{
"columns": ["a", ..., "z"],
"rows": [[1, ..., 26], ..., [11, 2266]]
}

Or:

{
"a": [1, ..., 11],
...
"z": [26, ..., 2266]
}

which I've never seen, but would save space, and sort of enforced in the sense that if you trust your serialiser for it as much as you trust an equivalent CSV serialiser, it's fine. (But the same argument could be made for more usual JSON object lists. Only arguable difference is that there's more of an assertion to the client that they should be expected to be homogeneous.)
That's ajoke?
Visual Basic is an overloaded term that can refer to both the language and the RAD IDE. The IDE was certainly low-code.

Yeah, one of the good things about just randomly throwing money at the crowd is that the crowd has a lot of brains and each brain can make the best possible decision for that person. There is no way a group of politicians is going to spend the money more efficiently.

However, without a serious CO2 tax a lot of that money will be allocated to CO2 intensive consumption.
Yes, so both manipulation and put/calls were leveraged by hacking as I specified. I think there is a disconnect in my communications. In these cases the penetration (hacking) was the same but there was no data destruction.

Exactly. One difference having used both services.

Your merchant bank will know you, there is a relationship manager who wants the rest of your business, they may have lent you money etc etc. In short, someone spends more than 5 seconds dealing with you. And they do charge more for sure.

PayPal - no one there cares at all about you. They offer something convenient, but that's it. You are SOL when things go wrong.
I think the state of nature as imagined by the likes of Thomas Hobbes is more just an assumption that is more based on observations of conflicting social groups, as such it is an emergent nature. But, I think humans evolved on the basis of mutual cooperation is a better survival strategy. So I think we have this ingrained base nature that wants to work together with other humans.

I would argue that your children will learn non-verbal communication even better with masks on. It encourages alternative methods of conversing and challenges you to be a better listener and more attentive student.

GitHub Availability May 2021
I've tried to buy into this philosophy and ecosystem in my company (I'm the CTO). We have a lot of inneficient processes and I thought that by creating a few flows as an example and giving some training to business people they would become automators. I was wrong.

For starters, my company's business people are not curious. This is not necessarily bad, but curiosity is a powerful accelerator for programming and automation tools. They weren't impressed nor motivated to adopt and extend the example flows. In the end, I had programmers creating flows for business people to use, and it was frustrating for the programmers and an uncertain black box for the business people. We even managed to create custom connectors to simplify a few flows. It failed and we gave up.

Regarding the specific tools of the "Power Platform", Power Automate has a horrible UI. It's slow, clunky and buggy. Sometimes you try to save your flow and it will give you a weird error. Then you refresh the page, the flow remains exactly the same, but now saving works. It's messy.

Power Apps has a bizarre billing/licensing issue. The idea behind the product is appealing, but when you start using it, it's a weird mix of a no-code design app with some legacy Microsoft Dynamics app. User management is confusing and tied to Dynamics. "External" users will cost you a lot more in licensing. You keep bouncing between old Dynamics pages and newer Power Apps ones. Even if you want to pay for the highest tier, it's incredibly difficult to find out how to do it. And if you don't pay for the highest tier upfront, Microsoft will create limitations for you on every corner (like accessing a database or using a given widget).

I didn't have any motivation left to try Power BI, but one of my interns told me that a _viewer_ of my dashboards would also need a license to have access to it.

I won't revisit these tools anytime soon.
> So a great story but I don't know how much can be extrapolated from it about human behaviour in general.

Given that this really happened, a lot.

Lord of the Flies came out of the fantasy of an English superintendent. Yet, it has permeated our culture as a cautionary tale about human behavior. It is 100% fiction.

I’d like to recommend Humankind by Rutger Bregman - a wonderful book dismantling the toxic narratives we have about ourselves.

Do you literally just do this deduplication with your brain alone? Or do you have some kind of clever indexing scheme and, if the latter, have you ever written it up? Because that would be interesting to read about.
I don't know what his goals are but a sufficient CO2 tax can easily result in 20%-50% less CO2 emissions.
It's really beyond me why would Rust designers adopted the '<' and '>' symbols. If I'm not mistaken Walter had specifically mentioned that he's avoided these symbols based on his experience on implementing C++ compiler in the early days of C++. Due to the ambiguity of the symbols with other operations' symbol, their inclusion will require extra symbol look up table and this will significantly increased parsing and hence overall compilation time. Based on the complaints on Rust compilation time that you see in HN, probably he's right after all.

One of the design principles of D is to create compiler friendly programming language and this is evident with the higher speed compilation of the D programs in comparison to similar program in C++ and Rust. Comparatively speaking, Go also has a very fast compilation time but Go currently does not support generic yet, and there's that.

In addition, another design principle of D is to be as intuitive as possible and programmer friendly compiled programming language. If you think this should be easy please check this video regarding of this Professor to try to completely compile R to no avail in 10 years during a keynote speech in a recent major R conference [1]. For examples, this is the reason that you have UFCS in D and there's also no macro in D. You can see that some of later programming languages agreeing with D approaches and copying this UFCS feature. On the overall language idioms, D want to be easily program similar to Python but compiled, i.e. fast in compilation and running time. FYI, there is even a book specifically written for Python programmers if they want try and perhaps migrate to D [2].

My point is that the body count is not an apples to apples comparison, because neither number is precisely known. On the the China side, the information suppression and disinformation campaign started immediately regarding the number of casualties. This is very well documented. I have in my lap the book The People's Republic of Amnesia: Tiananmen Revisited, by Louisa Lim- this book contains lots of evidenced that the body count was underrepresented. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the Gwangju Uprising to comment further on it.

In 'Gathering Moss', RWK talks about how moss spores hitchhike on squirrels, increasing their effective range by over one or two orders of magnitude.

Recently it came out that birds can and sometimes do transport live fish eggs to new bodies of water, miles away. And I learned today that birds that don't eat the seeds they get from the bird feeder? They take them and hide them, for instance in the chinks in tree bark. For the species this man knew about, most of those seeds end up in a 50 meter radius of the source, but there are other transport systems like digestive tracts (see also birds and pepper seeds)

Animals that keep transporting viable germlines around with them create a selective advantage for their entire species. Squirrels, humans, pollinators, etc. If our ancestors hadn't literally and figuratively squirreled seeds away we'd probably not be here to have this conversation.
