>Adding new ways to lose tied to illegal activity doesn't really fundamentally change anything.

I think it does because it creates a adds a dimension to the loss that will disproportionately affect the assessment that of risk. For one, this added dimension has only a downside. Think of an auto insurance company who operates in no-fault States. Their behavior (and by extension, the policies they offer) is changed because the risk they incur is higher despite their customer being a good driver. (The analogy being a “good” company still gets punished in the form of less investment under the proposed rules because the risk to the investor is increased).

Second, while people are well attuned to think about risk, they are very bad at judging it. That’s why the fund managers are not generally capable of out performing the market for extended periods. They are either not as savvy as you assume or work under such constraints that they can’t use it to their advantage. Behavioral psychology/economics shows that people are disproportionately risk-adverse so if you think increased risk without an even higher commensurate increase in reward, they tend to avoid taking on any extra risk.
Yeah, it seems like a real problem when the media can’t even clear the bar for internet comments.
To your point, it was widely understood last year it could have been a lab leak but almost certainly not a bioweapon, and a lot of people a year later are turning the science of this into another culture war battle based on the idea that last year it was _censored_ that it could have been a lab leak.

I'm increasingly worried about a phenomena I see more and more often: a cohort 'rediscovering' an old topic and it being played as news. ex. Bitfinex/Tether was a scandal _years and years_ ago, and a lot of people rediscovered it and think its new because the legal proceedings from that initial outburst years ago finally wrapped up.

Finding a good solution and rejecting a bad solution is the same thing, both are positive steps towards the goal. In science this happens a lot. Some research is generated using a flawed procedure. Someone writes a paper criticising the procedure and demonstrating that it doesn't work. The procedure is abandoned and the critique saves a lot of scientific effort and funds from being wasted on empty pursuits. This is a big positive.

Here is one example: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1250910
> The burden of proof is on people who claim that human cognition can be simulated by computer, not the other way around. To me, it seems far more likely that it can't.

C-T makes a claim about computable functions on natural numbers. It seems strange to argue that humans can perform such computations on a fundamental level better than a computer, thus we might assume the same is true of more complex computations. So while I suppose you could take the position that the burden of proof is to show every individual method of computation is equivalent, since there are infinitely many methods this seems a bit unfair.
It was my understanding that this sort of combinatorial logic is used by every CPU's control unit - is this outdated? What do modern chips use now?

This may have been due to how your standup worked. Believe me I have seen it too and part of why I want to be a team lead/scrum master is to make sure this does not happen to my team.

Did your standup feel like a report to the Product Owner? Or a report to the Scrum Master? Or a report to Team Lead? Not good. Creates the feeling you had.

The standup should create conversation between team members. 'Oh you said you are doing X while doing your tasj? That won't work for my Y, good thing you mentioned it, let's have a quick talk after standup'

As a scrum master if they 'report status to you' you can for example not look them in the eyes all the time so that they can't fixate on you. There are ways to still show them that you are paying attention.

If the PO is asking follow-ups that make it clear he's expecting status reports to him you can take him aside and talk to him about that. It might come to the point where you have to threaten to throw him out of standup if he doesn't shut up and then he won't even be able to even listen.

Same goes for team lead depending on whether you have a separate scrum master or maybe the team lead has that hat.

There's an important misconception here.

The part you're right about is that simulating what we understand about our own reality on some subset of that reality (e.g. some kind of computer) is really, really hard, possibly verging on impossible.

But that's not really the simulation hypothesis at all.

It's relatively easy to build a simulation of a simplified or (and this is important) a different reality in some subset of our own. Trivial examples like Conway's Game of Life come to mind, but also (somewhat obviously) SimCity.

The simulation hypothesis is that our reality is a simulation running in some subset of a different reality. Given what we know about building simulations in our own reality, the hypothesis implicitly recognizes that the meta-reality in which which our reality is a simulation is necessarily different (and likely more complex) than our own.

There's an even deeper notion to the simulation hypothesis. If our reality is a "simulation", given the richness that we see around us, what is the difference between a "simulation" and something that isn't a simulation? Based on what I said above, the different "levels" would necessarily need to differ in terms of their own complexity. But is a reality in which our own could be simulated really any "better" than our own?

I think this is a result of a lack of granularity in the styles of stories. I worked in a heavy XP shop and we were consistent in ensuring stories were units of value, chores were things that needed to be done to enable the delivery of value, and bugs were just that.

Additionally, we didn’t point bugs and chores because points are supposed to be a measure of delivering value. If you have stories as units of work, your points just became yet another measure of a unit of work.

Also, having worked in the XP shop and a “traditional Agile” shop, we never preplanned sprint work. We worked in one-week iterations as a means of bookkeeping, but we never committed to work ahead of time. We just pulled off the backlog and kept going. Some weeks we’d get more done, some we’d get less, but we had a trend line of velocity that gave us a projection of how much work we’d get done. I don’t actually care much for committed-work sprints as a means of getting work done. It just doesn’t feel useful.

- Link A: The clips are a compilation of COVID19 being referred to as the "Wuhan Coronavirus" and "China Coronavirus" in Q1 2020. I'm not sure what I was supposed to take away from it, is the implication that The US Media was hypercritical because people criticized the US president for repeatedly saying it xenophobically, months later?

- Link B: The clips are a compilation of health experts on MSNBC/CNN in January 2020, when the outbreak was confined to China, telling people they didn't need to worry yet.

I thought we'd emerge from this with an understanding of how quickly things move and operating under uncertainty a la Taleb, but in the current American context, it appears it turned into another reason to triple down on They'ing.
Lol, have you been to the Midwest? In small and medium sized cites there downtowns are often dead, including the small city I grew up in. All of them easily accessible by car. Dead city centres in North America more have to do with the post war experiment of subsidizing inefficient sprawling car dependent suburbs. If you want to actually understand this read more from the advocacy group Strong Towns[0] they also have a great YouTube channel. Now compare small Midwest cities to small cities in the Netherlands like Leiden or Haarlem and you’ll see limiting traffic from downtowns has little to do with how well they do economically.

Oh I'm not that super with JS to do something like this without a framework. It's running on MithrilJS (https://mithril.js.org/), which is, IMO, the most _practical_ framework for single page applications.

But saving all the HTML/CSS/JS and running it locally should work fine nonetheless though. What I'm a bit doubtful of is, if it would be able to do the XHR calls on file:// protocol. I'm not sure about how the browsers of today behave there.

For arrays/matrices I'm falling back to Fortran. It has builtin support to matrix/vector multiplication (and other operations of course). There's no need to install other libraries, or to deal with virtualenvs, or package managers. Fortran is not that sold creepy thing from the 70s anymore, Fortran90 (and later) is pretty elegant IMO.
I had a check and it looks like the law was passed in 2012[1]. They say that gave them a legal responsibility to hold clinical information, combined with instruction from government that should be enough for this to fall under another basis in GDPR without consent being required. Not saying it's right, especially with the risk of the data being shared further once they hold it, but it'd probably be difficult to challenge.

Per year of cold storage.

If the files are overwritten frequently, then the error rate would be much lower. Even if they are only read frequently that would lower dramatically the error rate, because the HDD controller will rewrite the blocks with corrected errors, which happen frequently.

In about 200 TB of high-quality HDDs from 2 vendors and in various capacities, between 0.5 TB and 8 TB per HDD, I have seen around 100 errors after 5 years of cold storage.

> Once a service becomes a requirement (like telephone service), they're much more restricted in how much they can charge, at what point they can cut off service, reasons for cutting off service, minimum service levels

I don't see why that would be the case. You're assuming that laws which establish common carrier status for ISPs have to mirror laws which established common carrier status for telephone companies and I don't think they need to.

I would say some of these are good. Companies don't want to terminate users and I think they would gladly accept restrictions on who and when they can terminate, in exchange for immunity as long as they follow the rules.

I think establishing a minimum service tier (50/50 or 100/100 seems safe) and putting a price cap on that minimum service, while allowing them to charge whatever the market will allow for higher service tiers seems safe and seems like something the existing ISPs won't hate too much.

> they'll also be required to provide service to money-losing regions.

I would fundamentally argue against this. I see no reason to force a company to service a customer they don't want to service. Create incentives which directly (not adjacently) align with your desired outcome. If the cost of providing that minimum level of service is above the price cap for that minimum level of service and the government wants to get involved, the most I think they should do is offer a post-paid per-customer subsidy. ISPs will complain mightily about this one since their costs are hugely front-loaded, but, it's not something they MUST do it's just something they would have as an option and it's an option that I think would encourage more rural fiber projects and more WISPs.

A thing, which most milestones are, is not a purpose.

If this had said customer outcome, and that the flavor of milestone is that the customer is now empowered to achieve that outcome, I’d be on board.

For me, this essay fails to connect the aspirational quotes or customer purpose with focusing an effort.

I feel similarly; the author mentions spending ten minutes trying to solve one of these puzzles, and I can’t imagine doing that and enjoying it. Maybe it’s the case that spending more time on the ones that stumped me would yield fruit, but I have the impression that on this class of problem, if I don’t see the solution within two minutes then I probably won’t be able to figure it out in ten, which disincentivizes investing time in them. I’d be interested in knowing if the people who /can/ solve all the problems in the article do so by investing time in them and being methodical or if they just “see it” eventually, which is how I feel solving the easier ones.

There’s also the factor that some Bongard problems, independent of their difficulty factor, are just more satisfying than others. Spoiler for the fourth one, with pairs of circles: its solution is that the entries on the left have $property while the ones on the right...don’t. This makes the right side virtually useless except to check the rule that you derived from the left side.

Maybe it’s just that I don’t have research experience, and am thus unsteeled against problems that seem impenetrable, or maybe I just don’t have the mindset to be good at these, but I agree the really difficult ones can be frustrating.

I can find funny takes on HN headlines on reddit already.
