It's not exactly like MAD because with MAD everyone has an accurate idea of how many nukes they have and the resulting destruction if they're exchanged. With cyberattacks you can't get an accurate idea of how backdoored your systems are, because if you did you would patch it. As a result, countries underestimate the damage they would take from retaliation and are more willing to use their collection of backdoors to create chaos at key moments. If nuclear MAD leans towards deterrence, cyberattacks lean towards escalation.
Shouldn't the equation be how many hours of delay you would trade for one hour of not-death?

Taken to an extreme, suppose we found 5 hours worth of airline safety video prior to a flight saved 10 human lives per year as it made it less likely people would evacuate the plane with their belongings.

If you led the FAA, would you mandate each passenger watch this video before each flight in order to save those lives? Put another way, is 5 hours * 5 billion airline passengers / year worth 10 humans lives / year?
> It's surprisingly common for PhD programs to restrict outside activities, although that's probably field dependent.

It's also supervisor-dependent! After I was formally accepted into a post-grad program, I was talking to my supervisor, my then-recent engagement slipped into the conversation and h - a senior bachelor and resident grump - did not approve of me getting married. He thought it would be distraction; I very much doubt that it was departmental policy, but my future research hinged on his whims.
That's what I put "and" and not "or" after that part of the sentence. Weather is a big one that they don't usually pay out for. You need to be prepared for that to happen, either by being okay with the airport floor or have other ways to fund a hotel stay.

FWIW I had United give me a hotel in 2019 after a mechanical issue.

They are now moving to scoring sites based on their speed, but any big change they make to their search algorithm is done very slowly and with tons of advance warning - AMP was something of a quick stop gap.

They are a for profit corporation in the end, so it is unfortunate to depend on them, of course, but I think they need to care about the health of the web - their profits tomorrow depend on it. And I think they've demonstrated it by creating so much tech that they give away.
Generally it is another great disappointment from everyone since the last E3. The only games to take note of are the ones who's trailers are all in-gameplay rendered.

> What games are you looking forward to playing the most in the coming year?

Only 1 winner. Battlefield 2042. Hands down.

The game is so realistic that it also perfectly describes the accurate scenes of all the catastrophic announcements in this year's E3.

Yes of course, what are you expecting here? Do you think the UI

They probably have "UI scientists" who analyze and tell how to make the

have to deal with the next best UI-trends.

What do you mean?
There is an old saying in Spain meaning "they scammed you": Te han dado gato por libre (They gave you cat -meal- as hare).
So, yes. after the civil war and Francoist repression Spain was utterly crushed down.
People's experiences are mared by bad behavior on the airlines. Most airlines lock you into whatever you bought and put so many restrictions on it that it's ridicious. (extremely high change fees, baggage fees, etc) They give you a false option that you can buy out of these things. (Paying more money.. but often those options are obscenely over priced)

Different airlines handle misconnects differently: Delta sometimes auto rebooks, United and US Airways required you to call and rebook.. although US Airways required you to work with the gate or call before hand and you got issued a new ticket at the kisok. On top of this.. there are different rules you aren't explained about what conditions indicate you can break the ticket without being penalized. (Schedule change being one)

Lastly, theres the effect of that the airline never takes responsibility when they screw up. It's always "eh you should know better" .. Leftouthansa sends your bags to EWR on a FRA-LHR-ORD flight? Maybe you'll get your bags in 48 hours? Don't forget to ask for an amenity kit (that's on you to ask for). Bag got lost and you want reimburstment? Please keep your recepts from years ago for the jeans you had in there.
Yikes, that really does create a visceral response.
I have to admit, my experience with Syncthing is not what I'd call smooth. It's great when it works, but I didn't find it trivial to set up, the sync didn't work all the time, and then I was running my own storage/backup system.

I use Joplin with OneDrive and it works great. Setup was clicking a couple buttons. My employer provides me with 1 TB of storage. The free version gives you 5 GB and OneDrive standalone gives you 100 GB for $1.99 a month. I'm just a user but I'd encourage anyone to go the OneDrive route with Joplin rather than messing with Syncthing.

The US still wants to screw me with excessive 'self-employment' taxes and if I put the local address into Upwork, Mexico wants to take an additional 20% for their own taxes which Upwork is happy to do off the top since they enjoy spending my money more than anything.

I like Ensenada. Thinking about La Paz at some point maybe. Supposedly the water is warmer there.
That, and using a button to open a link with JavaScript is almost humorously atrocious.
Thank you! This is pretty much exactly the ethos behind Utopia - that there is ultimately some underlying thing that you want to make changes to, but you often want to be able to make those changes from different viewpoints (or in different contexts) depending on the types of changes you want to make. The React paradigm, especially with functional components, is absolutely right for this kind of a tool.
The author of this article wrote an entire book, entitled Showstopper, about the development of Windows NT:

I guess that's a good point, but I think of the flu as different symptoms, you are really fatigued, you have brain fog, feel a bit like you are at the brink of death, have headaches, and you're caughing, maybe with a sore throat and more difficulty breathing.

Whereas colds are more congestion with drowsiness.

But you're totally right, symptoms alone are hard to use for accurately knowing what you had, there are so many types of cold virus and bacteria out there too.

I guess for me, I had never had the symptoms I describe in the former, until a few years ago I did, which I thought of as getting the flu. Had it been early 2020, I might have wondered if it was Covid, given the description of symptoms.
Not really.

If police is corrupt and want someone to disappear they just won't create arrest records. US police was using black-sites where people disappeared without problem.

On the other hand public arrest record put a great opportunity for malice and blackmail - do what I want or I'll arrest you for allegedly molesting a minor. Charges will be dropped but good luck clearing your name ever. Now pay up.
IP addresses are considered uniquely identifiable information under most (all?) GDPR jurisdictions. Pinpointed locations are also considered PII for obvious reasons.

I'd argue that by the same reasoning, SSID and MAC address are even more identifying, because IP addresses aren't as static as changing your WiFi configuration. Driving around and mapping this type of data should probably be considered a violation of the GDPR in the same way tracking the IP address of users visiting a website is.

I'm fairly certain you could make a claim against Google for processing this data without consent, without an immediate retraction (Google Streetview still lists 8 year old photos here) or opt-in.

Receiving data is fine, but processing it and mapping it out is not. In the same way, gathering IP addresses for logging and diagnostic purposes is okay, but selling "what IP accessed what page" is not. Taking a picture of your house from the street is not illegal, yet if I were to point a camera at your house that takes a picture every second so I can sell accounts for a premium "vesinisa's house stream" online, you'd probably get the police involved in its removal eventually. Intent matters as much as the actions themselves in most cases.
I often see people mad about a delay because they booked a flight in order to get to a meeting an hour or two after arriving when the car trip would be at least a day long.

It's odd to frame not forcing censorship on their users as "enforcing norms".
There are still so many cultural and legislative differences between countries that people don't feel Europeans, they identify with the individual country.

The UK was definitely the country which stood out the most in EU, so after Brexit, the EU lost one furthest away country in its block, in terms of diversity.

EU law cover stuff you hardly run into. Sure, you have euros everywhere but they don't regulate how much taxes you pay or how your national health care is managed.

All is fine until they start regulating on things that matter. Immigration is definitely one of the first sector where people started noticing they're in the EU, because they're unhappy with the results.
re:Black, Latino/Hispanic, White. Only in the US is speaking Spanish considered a race. I had to ask if I was Hispanic. I speak Spanish, live in Spain but I was told told its just the official racist term for Mexicans. N. B. there is no reason for them to even ask if you are or are not.
And no, I could not chose to be Hispanic: its a term assigned to you. Some Spanish nationals are Hispanic some are not. Some Mexicans are not Hispanic. It does not matter where you were born or the colour of your skin. Its _official_ racism, they decide if you are or are not Hispanic and if they decide you are and you thought you were not, or vice versa, you can be banned from entry into the US forever for "lying" on the visa form.

That is institutional racism taken to the doublethink level.

> they assume (probably incorrectly) that they will do better when talking to a human.

Anecdotally, it has worked enough times for me to call/talk to an agent vs dealing with the automated suggestion system. Just don't be a jerk.

One automated system gave me a next flight of the following day. Spoke to an agent and was rerouted through another hub and only delayed by two hours overall.

In another case, a delayed flight caused me to miss my connection. Was officially told that I was out of luck and would have to wait (as were the jerks who asked) for the morning. I went and got a seat on the plane out that night.
There's also the question of attribution. Proxies and manipulated metadata can misdirect the retaliation onto a different actor.
Well said. And unsustainability / past benchmarking too.

Hi, a couple of comments.

First, I understand you were trying to make an approachable presentation, but the rules as you presented them are incomplete (how does influence work? what is a "threshold"?), and I think for a board game that's a big mistake. What makes games like those cool is that rules work deterministically, even for games that involve randomness. Having to guess the rules is something I actively dislike.

Second, have you considered a square board instead of an hexagonal one? Using Go terminology, it feels like the groups have too many liberties.

Other than that, the game is pretty good. I feel it captures the attack/defense territory-based gameplay of Go perfectly.

Have you tried to measure the first move advantage?

edit: Wow this thing is a drug. Hard AI is deceptively good, I managed to tie a game 25-25 after several attempts, but you definitely can't afford to be sloppy if you want to stay afloat!
I'd argue that Wolfram Alpha does it better:

The US comparison is just not true, you are ignoring the vast majority of US history when you say something like that.

Nationalism is not the same as subjecting your surrounding neighbours, which is the implication that the OP was making.
No, the problem is that you posted a low-quality flamewar comment attacking someone for what they obviously didn't say. I totally get why the housing bubble, and housing in general, brings up strong feelings, but you plainly broke that site guideline. Is that so hard to see?

In fact you did the same thing in the past and we responded exactly the same way: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25991731. That's what we do when we see any such comment, regardless of who makes it and regardless of topic. I assume no one will accuse us of trying to protect powerful medieval friars.

HN has the rules it does for good reasons based on many years of experience. We're trying for at least a little bit of a different internet here.

(Btw, your comment has not been removed; flagging isn't the same thing as removing.)
It seems like there's a bug if you drag your mouse from the board area, off the board, then back on; it will automatically select the first unclaimed tile the cursor hits. I just progressed the game to a 14-36 loss by just waving my mouse randomly without a single click.

It seems to require some fairly fast movement, but I did accidentally trigger it a few times when I was trying to play for real.

I've tested on Firefox 89 and Chrome 91.
I am both Zoroastrian and Parsi, and while I adore seeing these articles on the top of HN (i.e. on a global stage), I am extremely curious:

Who is upvoting these articles about my mostly forgotten culture and why?
He sure makes no small attempt at marketing the term, and himself https://www.hyrumslaw.com/

In any case, my point is that it this observation has no relevance on the applicability of semantic versioning. One is a practical approach at making the best out of versioning. The other is a rather simple observation that given sufficient enough users of an API, all parts of the API will be depended on by someone.

To go and suggest that the logical extreme of a though experiment that, any change (bug fix or what have you) on an API, and given wide enough usage, will change/break something for someone, should somehow conclude in a defeatist mentality of "what's the point, everything becomes a major version", is... in my honest opinion, as uninteresting of an observation as they come. I'm sure it has more interesting applications elsewhere.

But then again, maybe I don't get what is supposed to be profound, or applicable, and I'm all ears.
So I did speak with an attorney and they DID sign a retainer with me. But my former workplace hired the biggest defense firm in the state to stall it out. My firm was honestly really surprised and eventually released the case because they thought it'd take more to take it to court than would be won. That was strictly over workplace violations though, not the equity statement.

I have in writing that I would have vested 3%. I would have vested .75%
In my experience if you complain enough the human agent will occasionally agree to rebook you on another airline even when the online system doesn't show that as an option.
A think I've been wondering is why is integration harder than differentiation. The latter can be done almost mechanically, as long as your primitive functions are "nice", but the former often requires cleverness like what's show in the article.

I mean, sure, we have simpler rules for dfferentiation, but _why_?

I sometimes wonder if it's differentiation is P and integration is NP (for the restricted case of functions where the primitives are "nice")
Indian religions are interesting topic. It is birthplace of major religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.

Hinduism the most popular religion is unlike any other. Over time it is constantly modified and evolved. While Christianity and islam grew by replacing previous practices, Hinduism stitched all into one. So it has trees, fire, wind deity as well as abstract gods. Popular schools with different thoughts evolved and merged into a unified stream.

Sadly recent radicalisation have dented its malleability.
I chuckle a bit when people complain about the slow satellite based wifi. So, you're in a metal tube, miles in the air, going 500mph, getting internet from a satellite 20,000 miles away. And...the wifi is a bit slow?
None. "People buying stuff that's going up" is exactly "new money flowing in" to that asset.

But I may have left some confusion in my fourth paragraph. It's a bubble when it becomes a self-reinforcing feedback loop. People bought because it's going up, which makes it go up more, so more people buy, so it goes up even more, and so on. I didn't state that clearly enough.
I don't think the equipment to receive weather updates is on the Minimum Equipment List, but if dispatch couldn't even update over the radio then I would imagine they would start diverting flights. This is just a guess, hopefully someone with more knowledge can jump in here.

Er, not sure on the spokes. Why not use 18? Is 16 better somehow? I'm over 200 pounds and am hard on wheels, I've been pretty happy with Santa Cruz carbons, which in the road flavor are 24 spokes.
IMO, it's a mistake to approach these kinds of questions from first principles perspective, at least exclusively. We have a history, and a lot of where we are is a response to past problems. That doesn't mean where we are is optimal, just that it's not simple.

Snake oil is a major problem, always has been. Drugs of abuse are a problem, like the oxi crisis. Antibiotic resistance. Etc. There are lots of reasons to have controls in place that don't have a first principles logic to them... just an empirical one.

You almost certainly didn't have it.

In mid-November there could have only been cryptic spread around Wuhan. That means that maybe at the outside 3,000 people around Wuhan had the virus at that point (which I'm likely being generous with that number). Your chances of having contracted it in Shanghai is low. 3,000 people sounds like a lot but China has a population of 1.4 billion people. Your odds are 1-in-500,000 -- and they're much lower given the geographical separation from Wuhan to Shanghai.

You had a cold which developed into bronchitis.

Now if you told me it was mid-January and that you lost your sense of smell so completely that you couldn't smell food burning on the stove and when it came back meat taste rancid, I'd agree you probably had it.

As others have mentioned, exploring a diagnosis is about more than just medication. Getting diagnosed and understanding how ADHD impacts me helped me understand myself better and stop beating myself up for the things I couldn't control. It changed the way I think about myself. Even though I had all the hallmarks of a good life on paper (did well in school, got a good job, stable relationship, etc.), I also felt imposter syndrome and ashamed for how chaotic and unstable I felt on the inside. Learning about ADHD helped me understand my strengths and weaknesses and how to work with them.

My diagnosis also helped my family, after I got diagnosed my dad and younger brother were diagnosed too. It saved my parent's relationship because my mom finally understood that parts of my dad's personality and his behavior were caused by the ADHD, not because he didn't care enough or because he was a bad husband/father.
