> The entire “russian collusion” thing was fake.

If you have downvoted (or now flagged) this fellow lettergram specifically for this statement, consider that the null hypotheses should be "collusion did not happen" and then an extraordinary claim like that requires extraordinary evidence.

This claim has sustaining power, because the null hypothesis has been flipped into "Collusion happened, prove me wrong!". Proving a negative is hard to do.

I have had this discussion on HN before [1], and believers reply with a flood of links, each of which refer to other links, in a deep warren of claims and circumstantial evidence and hearsay. They find it all quite convincing and think any skepticism outrageous.

It may be easier for some people to believe that Trump is guilty of collusion than to accept the implications of what it would mean that he is not, especially if they dislike or hate Trump

Here [2] is Taibbi's master list of Russian collusion claims later found to be bogus.

What do we have instead? I don't know... You show up for work and they pay you money until one of the two parties decides to stop doing that.
This is probably heresy, but maybe they could make the sport more exciting by issuing corked bats for more homeruns. And then maybe they could rename the sport to Blernsball...
“The new devices rely on optogenetics, a technique in which researchers use bursts of light to activate or suppress the brain nerve cells, or neurons, often using tailored viruses to genetically modify cells so they respond to illumination (SN: 1/15/10).“ That seems like a really important piece of information: they controlled genetically modified mice with light, not just any old mice.
Plenty of people grasp digital cash but (1) they don't want cash and (2) current cryptocurrencies aren't good digital cash. And most people don't want (digital) gold either.
Former controls system guy and have worked in data centers. I'd be concerned about why a control system failure took down multiple air handlers. Units typically have their own controllers and can be configured to run by themselves without input from a "parent" controller.
Y'all have looked at Pony (https://www.ponylang.io/), right?
>(2) Use a private LN network that they don't let anyone else onto because it made it totally un-workable according to their CEO.

This is a strange statement to make. It still runs on the same LN network as everyone else, it's just that they won't peer with anyone. I wouldn't exactly call that a "private LN network" in the same way I wouldn't characterize verizon as operating a "private internet" because they don't have an open peering policy.

As for the bit about using tether, I wholeheartedly agree that something like USDC would be much more suited. The only explanation I can come up with is that USDC has orders of magnitude less volume than USDT. According to cryptowatch USDT has 24hr volume of 73.3B whereas USDC only has 0.60B.
Worse working conditions, less interesting work?
Are you positive? Even with one of the most basic $4 Exchange P1 licenses I was able to do any powershell administration I desired. Setup DKIM and DMARC without issues. The only cheaper license is a $2 kiosk license
Really? I've never heard that before and a quick search has not come up with anything to back that claim.
I'm sure people will adapt, but probably not very quickly.

Of course, it depends on the level of proficiency you want to reach. But it's already hard enough for people to eg learn to play Tennis, or learn to play Tennis with their left hand, when they normally use they right hand.

This seems like more of a documentation problem from a technical problem... from the issue discussion we can see that it is indeed possible to do this without PowerShell, but I agree that the doc the MSFT employee linked to does not make it very clear how. Hopefully MS provides a step-by-step for this, or adds the automatic record generation to the web interface.
Did you even read article or just here to troll? All of your points (except for 1 about investing in everything, which is covered in the article) are FUD that have been debunked or addressed for years. Are you even in the software space, the whole point of software is to replace the limits physical world and now its possible with money, get excited!
That’s rather uncharitable; the fallout would at least be similar to what would happen to the holders of SGD, NZD, DKK, and dozens of other currencies smaller than Bitcoin were they to implode.

That is hardly a strong argument, religious people can do all that too and still be highly faith based.
You can also get a Powershell web shell through the Azure Portal.
Some modules are only compatible with the Windows version of PowerShell.
There will always be demand for on-chain transactions (for very large transfers, cold storage movements, batch opening/closing lightning channels, etc).

The 1MB limit makes it highly likely that there will always be a backlog of transactions even post reward world.

What lies. Political machine protects itself.

Gates, Bezos, Slim, and Musk's actions are certainly bizarre. Teacher's unions, college professors, banks, and attorneys too. I guess we only imprison them when the rich people on TV tell us too, because they're upset.
My college, none of that was in the Computer Science (CS) curriculum - it was all part Information Technology and Management (ITM).

CS was focused mostly on the broad underlying structure of computing, things like how software interacts with hardware (this was gutted a year or two before me), algorithms, programming paradigms (functional/etc), the theory behind databases (3rd normal form sound familiar?), and so on. The idea was to give you a really good foundation such that you could self-learn much much easier after college, but also unfortunately that you had to do some of that selfglearning right away because it didn't prep you for getting things done.

I only took one or two ITM courses out of curiosity, so I'm less confident in describing it in broad strokes, but the impression I got is that it was for teaching specific skills while not "wasting" time on better understanding how they work. Very get-things-done oriented. The web development one, for example, used a lot of jquery, but never touched on what was going on under the hood. I can see it working as preparation for being able to do a job, but it left you kind of stuck if you hit a roadblock and didn't know where to look for answers.

If I had to stereotype them, a CS student would spend time writing an algorithm for something instead of finding an existing library, while an ITM student would look for a library and if they can't find one say they can't do it. But the ITM student wouldn't get lost implementing and end-to-end project as long as they could use tech they already know, whereas the CS student has never done such a thing before.
"You do realize we can train a neural network to perform this task"

I'm doing a master's in deep learning for NLP and I'm not sure we can. Language modelling can't do this because grammatical yet semantically implausible combinations of words yield very low perplexity, like the classic being Noam Chomsky's "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously".

What would be a training set for this? I assume we would first try to do parsing to extract the grammatical role of each word. Then what would be the dataset? A massive attempt at generating the set of all possible trees that are grammatical?

I guess we could use massive textual datasets from reputable sources and extract their grammatical role tree, and learn from that. Generating negative examples with sufficient coverage would be very hard. Strict generative modelling without negative examples with good coverage would see the same problem as with language modelling, where acceptable but unlikely examples would have low perplexity despite being good.

It would seem to me that in order to generate negative examples with good coverage, your would need to have a man made program with a definition of what grammaticality means, which would make making a neural network useless to begin with.

Seems like the experts agree with my take: https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/a/1108
Thanks, I feel like I've run across the book a few times over the years but never was suggested it. I'll check it out
This definitely happens in Mortal Kombat (1)
It is the best so far. Show me one that works better on a large scale. The economy makes up of billions of transactions that are not planned but are there to fulfill greed, each in their separate ways end up acting as a choreographed system that the central planners could never replicate.
If a band has decided to accept PayPal then they've presumably decided the downsides are worth it to them. So saying that you'd rather not support the band at all than pay them via PayPal seems... paternalistic to say the least.
I'm not so sure. We're good at controlling things with lesser degrees of freedom than our bodies naturally possess. I am not sure wed be very good at controlling things with more dof unless it was very high level octopus arm type control (arm, get the red ball and drop it here)
This is also true for configuring videoconf rooms in Teams. You have to set a magic flag via PowerShell. The whole Microsoft 365 environment smells like bit rot.
There's no such thing as market cap of a currency - just circulating supply denominated in itself. Each of those economies would be devastated and left unable to conduct commerce. Bitcoin though? A handful of speculators.
Thanks for the extra context!

Yes, my 'challenger' didn't mean to imply a formal contest.
Additionally, all the lay press write-ups hype the entrained synchrony as being what makes the mice get along better. But what they fail to emphasize is that the part of the brain they are optogenetically stimulating is the final part of the reward pathway associated with incentive salience.

The shared relative (re: each mouse) frequency they stimulate that part of the reward pathway with is much less important than it being part of the reward pathway.
Those are very old.

The current standard is LTO-8, with 12 real TB of data per cartridge and it has the lowest cost per TB stored.

However, the LTO-8 drives are very expensive, e.g. between $2000 and $4000.
I guess I should be so fortunate that I've been working from home since the end of February 2020 and that all we use is Microsoft Teams for audio-only calls. We have never done video calls and I cannot imagine why anyone would stand for that shit.
This isn’t actually true its just not well documented in the documentation it implies you need power shell then the actual instructions for doing it in the azure console are just lower on the page
You could also collect every strikeout ball and put them in a bag marked by pitcher for analysis. After a few games, you could quite easily see which had uncharacteristically higher tar on them versus baseline. That is, if the MLB actually cared.
Personally use an "allow list" as opposed to a "block list".
Not sure which is "easier" but definitely know which one is faster, more efficient and has zero misses or false positives.

Arguably its more useful to know what a given website actualy requires than to know every possible advertising scheme. Allow lists teach about where to find desired content. Block lists do not teach anything useful in that regard.
>- they already trust the government and their institutions and don't see the need for it,

Strange given that most americans don't trust their government (https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2021/05/17/public-trust...) Maybe trust in government is correlated with how well you're doing, and techies tend to be doing very well?

Ask HN: Dev leads and managers: want me to build this?
I have an idea for something I’d like to exist every time I’ve been a team leader.

It’s a estimation and project management tool that’s basic but gets out of your way. It answers the questions you’ll really get asked even though you are pretending to do agile/scrum :-)

So basically ahead of you are a bunch of tasks. A team. And estimations.

You also have planned leave, meetings, public holidays, occasional sickness, company social events etc.

You get asked questions like “when will X be released? Followed by “why so long, ain’t it just…?”

This is where my tool comes in!

At the heart it’s a spreadsheet. Rows are people, columns are days.

It knows when people are definitely unavailable and understands that in probability people will be sick, ask for last minute leave or get hauled j to meetings.

You drag tasks against a person and it places them to cover the elapsed days they will take.

It is easy to drag and rearrange stuff and it might even adjust times depending on factors e.g. senior va junior.

We all know this is BS! Estimation is hard. But two things about that:

A plan doesn’t survive contact with reality but you should still plan.

You need to explain stuff to your boss!

So that’s it really. There is more to this going around in my head but that’s the gist.

Who would like this? Who would say they wouldn’t be totally against paying $99/m for a tool like this for their team?
An interesting thing to do would be to represent the syntax tree in something other than text so everyone can apply their preferred format.
Humans have trouble communicating freely and honestly. They do better when they have fewer misleading assumptions to work through.
Yeah, we're not teaching people that Austrian economics doesn't work so they end up getting redpilled into thinking it's some kind of secret awesome suppressed knowledge.
I think you're implying the rich are powerful, which seems rather obvious since being rich is usually the result of being successful in some fashion.

I took a quick look into the African American stats you mention from https://www.statista.com/chart/18905/us-congress-by-race-eth.... It appears ~14% of the house is African American - the same as the reported percentage of the population. In other words exactly what you'd expect if the house was draw at random from the population.

In the senate, it looks like only ~3-4% is currently African American. The senate of course is composed of two senators from each state, thus over representing the sparsly populated states that have very little ethnic diversity (most of the country by area), so a more thorough analysis would be necessary to argue something about skin color having an effect/how much of an effect on senate races.

At a glance, it doesn't look too different from what I would expect given the assumption skin color/race aren't important (my experience everywhere I've lived in the USA). But, the US varies so greatly between regions it may as well be a few countries mashed together in many respects. My hunch is that the house/senate will continue to become more ethnically diverse given the current climate - being from a minority group seems more beneficial, if anything, politically.
Scheme source code is text with embedded scheme ;).

The issue with JavaScript embeds in PDF’s is that PDF’s are final documents and the default assumption is that they are not executables…a mistaken assumption perhaps but the default nonetheless.

Skribilo is source code for a document…it will tend to generate a final document and tend not to be the distributed artifact.
You really have no proof, but importantly isn’t Joe Biden literally doing the same thing?

Think about it, BLM, ANTIFA, etc all want to “destroy and rebuild” the institutions.

- canceling US pipeline https://www.marketplace.org/2021/06/10/with-keystone-xl-scra...

Let’s not forget, Joe Bidens some received a massive amount of money from Moscow https://www.newsweek.com/hunter-biden-received-35-million-pa...

The senate committee expressed concern over Joe biden being compromised https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/HSGAC_Finance_Rep...

Did Joe Biden, where there is real evidence of collusion, get any treatment? No. Again, see prior post, that’s because the media is controlled.
I miss the pre-Internet and especially the Time Before The Web. I can still hear the sound of my dial-up modem connecting to local BBSes. Telnetting into a MUD. Porn at 2k/second. Compuserve.
Nostalgia? Yes. Was it better? No, just different. But the Internet and Web’s advent felt like waking up to see a freeway had been run through my residential street. And there was no going back. It’s difficult to describe the feeling of those days to someone who has only known the Web and Internet.
Suppose for argument's sake that it is fairly accurate.

What would then be the argument that we shouldn't use this information to, say, set insurance premiums, when we already happily accept the use of other prejudicial information such as age and gender to do so?
This is a carry over from Exchange / via the EMC. That is why. Exchange Online/EXO was really developed to be a role on an Windows Server.

Also true for allowing email addresses with "+".
as an alumni of OMSCS here are a few things I want to say:

1. exams can be taken on a chromebook now (you couldn’t until a year ago) so that part should be covered.

2. more ram is good because classes will give you a VM so you can buils it locally and test it in a VM (what almost everyone in class would do)

3. unfortunately some VMs only work well in a windows virtual box environment . and that’s where I think you might run into problems. the thing is the TA will automate his tests for grading. So if the testing on your end was not done correctly (like let’s say locally instead of the VM provided or the environment suggested) then you will fail the grading tests. So be very careful there.

4. You might want to automate things yourself to get things done faster. In that case you may want to run multiple instances of the VMs provided.

My MBP was broken so i ended up using a desktop for completing the whole thing which was a mistake because it was too inconvenient especially during tests. however many students were able to finish the course with a 200$ thinkpad so it’s doable. But then there were those who also had a powerful ryzen desktop for classwork with dual monitors and a laptop for test. So i guess it all depends on your comfort level with your setup.
What a clown.
Not true at all, every user account, even unlicensed, as long as it is assigned an UPN, or has an AD object has Powershell access.

CLi commands are very discoverable via Powershell/Powershell ISE and Cloud Powershell which is available in any azure instance or logging in the O365 admin portal.
Issues of fact are not always easy to discern and may require reasonable discourse to arrive at a conclusion, wouldn’t you agree?

I think whether or not these methods are pseudoscience is irrelevant. Why?

Even if phrenology had worked most of the time, it would still be a terrible idea. Even if phrenologists could classify criminals with 99% accuracy from the shape of their skull, they'd still be screwing over a ton innocent people when their methods were applied to large populations. Putting somebody in prison because of the shape of their skull is a terrible proposition, even if you get it right more often than not.
Even in UK, you can buy them from Amazon Germany or from Amazon France, at only EUR 7 per TB for LTO-8 or around EUR 8 per TB for the older standards.

Previously there were no customs taxes but after Brexit I assume that there might be some taxes, but they should not be so high as to increase much this low price.
An admin account does not need a license, the license is the entitlement for that service. The OP in this thread does not know O365 administration - you are correct, you can use powershell on any license, and if you do not have a license at all.
A little less recently and less literary, the 1973 National Personnel Records Center fire destroyed an enormous number of US Army and Air Force military service records and continues to cause great frustration to historians and genealogists. Newer National Archives facilities, such as the one in San Bruno, are built in a bunker-like fashion in order to prevent damage and contain fires.

That reinforces the idea that a programmer might be good at one kind but not another.
I don’t know the circumstances, but that sounds like a “I can’t say exactly, but it rhymes with Nes and starts with y.” E.g. he would want to say yes, but also doesn’t want to be the first on the chopping block?
I read the full post linked to by the grand-parent, and I think you are mischaracterizing things.

Settling on 3 programming languages is a good compromise between "one language to rule them all", and "anything goes". Being limited a single language's talent pool can be quite limiting, as is only having one language to problems in. Having no limits on language choice also has obvious drawbacks.

The "7 fairly complex rules" are not _that_ complex considering they are rules for trying to tame a domain that is inherently complex. If you try and scale any software engineering team much beyond 30 engineers you will need to have similar rules regardless of whether you have a majestic monolith, microservices, or some mix of the two.

Baseball is a weird game with lots of traditions and a long memory.

This year, your team may have the worse pitching staff and get the best of a team with a better pitching staff by calling for checks.

Next year, when your team is better, or even the same year against a team with a worse pitching staff, you will be on the receiving end of this “zero sum game”.

Not to mention, the coach who snitches will probably never be able to coach again for violating an unofficial code of conduct.

That’s my take on the situation.
What an awesome project. I need to update my intuitions a bit
Not so likely because if you have O365, you most likely also have windows computers in your env. It is very, very unlikely to solely be running an OSX/NIX env and use O365 beause the mdm, intune, autopilot, Windows 10, Access Desktop app and such are Windows only.

And excel on OSX sucks.

And there are no desktop office apps for linux. Web apps work though. Good luck with power pivot and complicated tasks though.
Perhaps they use the word “advantage” specifically because it has no clearly defined meaning, so it is just a weasel word for legal purposes. Clarity is not your goal when the wrong sentence could cost a metric fuck tonne of money in court.
SF city? It's gotten really bad. No one wants to work there in the bay area based on every single friend I've talked to.

I would also like awaiting to be the default, as I've been bitten more than a few times by forgetting to await.

It's tricky though -- if I assign the result of a function to a variable, should I immediately await? What if I'm creating a temporary to pass into Promise.all or Promise.race? Perhaps not-awaiting needs to be explicit? I'm not sure.
