Oh, as I dig through it this seems to be pretty good! The bits of AWS I have to deal with daily tend to drive me up the wall but I'd be a lot happier to take that if I've a deeper understanding of the whys and wherefores.

Stoicism actually has roots in Cynicism. It’s unclear where individual ideas come from, but it’s actually possible Buddhism has some roots in western philosophy.

As reasoning creatures, people can gain happiness by rigorous training and by living in a way which is natural for themselves, rejecting all conventional desires for wealth, power, and fame. Instead, they were to lead a simple life free from all possessions.

This might be what happens when inflation is too low. You can get away with a lot of money shuffling games and end up ahead without doing anything productive. If there was 5% inflation you would actually have to make sure that you are doing something useful, otherwise inflation would eat away at your wealth but workers can just switch jobs to get a raise.

Low interest rates are an indicator that something is going wrong. Companies stopped hiring people and they already have done all the investments they could possibly do. The quick hack is to just let the government "steal" all the low interest money and spend it to generate inflation.

What we are seeing during this pandemic is that businesses are waking up. They are realizing that they actually have to work or else their paper wealth is going to disappear into nothing.

Fundamentally the problem is that cash is a low risk asset and the risk of actually doing work is too high compared to risk free money.
Most SSIDs are not unique and can't be used to geolocate on their own. You need to show off a BSSID which is buried in utility menus and unlikely to be accidentally opened by a user. I suppose malware could share your BSSID with a malicious party to geolocate you, but at that point you're being specifically targeted by a sophisticated adversary and whether or not Google helps along the way is not going to determine whether you win or not.
I worked on this type of problem in the context of structured data in a version managed database, and you need more than just an AST.

These types of systems have lots of extra cross dependencies and complexities so to resolve changes you need enough to effectively replay changes from one branch onto another. You’ll find points where this will not work and at that point you need to be able to present the user with self consistent alternatives to choose between, and a way to safely save and recover the other data while they do this. That goes through the entire application stack and UI.

The stuff I worked on all worked, but every application and customer that built on our core needed to develop custom rules for their work flows, and I’m not sure many ever did.
Congrats on launching. Very interesting to see as someone who's into the intersection of fashion/design x tech.

This is based more on availability from brand than retailer but would make a huge difference in conversion: Images with more isometric/perspective views of clothed models convey more information (replacing need for up to 3 separate pictures [front+side+back] and/or rotation in many cases), thus more valuable to the consumer. However, this is less of an issue with standardized "flat" items and related categories like athleisure (t-shirts, sweatshirts, joggers, etc).

Good move with the skin shade feature - visualizing how an outfit contrasts/complements one's complexion is as important as fit. Needs some fine tuning though; there's some mismatch between models and listed shades.

Per people wanting to see models of similar build, try a regional or brand base approach: Generate a list of model types to use based on researching
a) most common body types for each sex in a given geography (extra layer of detailing would be sub-categorization to account for differences in physiology across various ethnicities where applicable)
or b) most common body types for each sex in a given brand's clientele or across multiple brands in given fashion category.
See my reply to jszymborski for my problem with that.
I'm sincerely hoping that was a sarcastic comment.
Smartphones are not personal computers. They should be but they definitely are not.
I think people have been condemned for insults over SSID, so trademarks definitely apply ;)
Well, right here in the article we're discussing, we hear about Chinese hacking (from AP, which is very much mainstream media).

Also today, on mainstream media, I saw an article about Chinese jet fighters and bombers encroaching (yet again) on Taiwan's airspace.

So I think that, yes, you do hear about Chinese malign activities on mainstream media, and not just the lab leak theory.

I didn't mean to insult your intelligence. I see plenty of intelligent people acting irrationally these days.

I suggest checking out right-wing Twitter/corporate news to see how they're using the same words ("unpatriotic", "malicious") in the exact same way to describe the democrats. The truth, as always, is somewhere in between. It's not black and white, evil vs. good. At least not in the real world.
People always look to irrationality as the first explanation for bubbles. This is lazy thinking. I find that there are almost always structural cash flows that create them by some sort of economic or regulatory intervention, and the crash by reversal of the same. Similarly, I don’t think there are technology bubbles. Obsolescence is a very slow and steady process while you’re going through it, but everybody remembers that one day the whole world turned in their rotary phones for the iPhone X.
I wonder if we'll start to see a transition back to analog/physical access.
Assuming you have sufficient income, you should pay for expenses today with post tax dollars, and let the HSA money grow tax exempt as long as possible.

The premium difference and the deductible difference between HDHP and non HDHP plan cancels out, generally. You either pay more premiums on an ongoing basis, or more at one time for the expense.

Unfortunately, there is no getting around actually having a lot of healthcare expenses. But spending ~$6k out of pocket on healthcare every two years probably puts you a couple standard deviations above average spend category unless you are old.
Loads as fast as modern YouTube.
Note that "organized religion" and "spirituality" are often very different. Helping people find out that they can be spiritual without having to buy into a prescribed belief system is an extremely helpful step that many don't undertake on their own.

The fact that the author ignores that entirely makes me fairly convinced that he's advocating to proselytize, not to introduce people to spirituality. (Part of me wants to book a session with them and talk to them about wood fairies, just to see what happens :)
The pitch deck is shiny and all, but you still haven't explained what blockchain has to do with any of it?
It's pretty complicated and my understanding could be wrong and definitely not an expert. All the stupid CIA-style names that keep changing don't help. Turtledove, fledge, sparrow lol.

But from what I think I know that's kind of right technically, but kind of not in terms of actual real privacy.

Yes, the actual browsing data, e.g. for the basic floc cohorts only what amazon product page you visited, is no longer 'sent' to ad networks (that's a pretty big oversimplification of how ad networks track you but for brevity). That data is parsed in your browser to generate a cohort ID for you.

But this cohort ID is exposed to the world document.interestCohort() and is what's used for targeting and tracking.

To me it seems that the cohorts are so small "thousands of people" + IP or UA it's basically the same as a semi-long lasting uuid.

And if you have like even 10 different cohort IDs, even if some of them are 'fake'/'noise' that's probably enough to ID you alone

Here's an image from google's site.

It also seems like Chrome/google might be still defaulting browser settings to give themselves even more data just like they currently do?

https://github.com/WICG/floc#qualifying-users-for-whom-a-coh...

BUT when you layer on the other proposals (Fledge/Turtledove/Dovekey or whatever) - which I don't understand that much maybe someone else can explain - it seems like it basically collect this page/product level data and makes it available to DSP etc for tracking/ad serving (again if not technically 1:1 basically in consequence given the sizes of these groups).

Like one of the proposals talks about a 'trusted' key/value server which doesn't seem that different from what already happens? The original proposal wanted to move the entire ad bid/target/serve process into the browser.
antibody tests are really hard. his could be a false negative. further, he could have had it, but without antibodies. or he might have had something else.
At least when I went to undergrad, calculus was a university requirement, not a major requirement. Like English 101, except it is of course taught by math department faculty just as English 101 is taught by English faculty. Everyone had to take it or test out of it.

For actual math requirements, you started with real and complex analysis, abstract algebra, geometry and topology, and then some applied math classes such as partial differential equations, or numerical methods. There was also a requirement for probability and statistics.

One way you can tell the difference between a general requirement class and a major class is the size of the classroom and the majors taking the course. If you are in an auditorium with 300 freshmen taught by a TA and almost no one else in that course is a math major, then you are looking at a university requirement rather than a college requirement.

University requirements are not intended to weed anyone out, that would be contrary to the goals of the university. They should be doable by all who are admitted. When I went to grad school, I had the pleasure of teaching some of these calculus classes, and no one considered this to be a weed out class or a math major class. All the math majors we had tested out of calculus in high school, and most of our students had humanities majors (as the STEM students also tended to test out of it). Giving those humanity majors lots of tricky problems in order to try to weed them out from their own majors wouldn't make any sense.

Moreover the key skill in being a math major is the ability to do proofs. So the weed out classes tend to be real analysis or abstract algebra, as these are the classes where students first do proofs. As there are traditionally no proofs in calculus classes (the books may provide proofs, but you are not tested in your ability to prove theorems, but in your ability to calculate). Thus it wouldn't be a good weed out class for math majors even if it wasn't a general requirement class taken by all majors.
I never did, i don't think any of us did. One of us ended up in close proximity however to someone who'd tested positive for covid, just prior to getting the results of their tests. This person did not get sick.

That may or may not mean something or nothing, it's impossible to say. It's just an observation and nothing should be made of it unless that person were to ever be tested properly for anti-bodies and even then, you still can't draw any conclusions from it.

Myself at least, I never got sick through the rest of 2020, just followed the rules and such and didn't worry much, not because I thought I already had it, but mostly because there's no point in worrying about something I can't change. If I ended up with it after still doing the best I could to avoid situations that bring me into contact with it, then there's not much I can do except deal with it if it happened.

I figured being tested when not showing symptoms and having been following the rules fairly stringently would unnecessarily put myself in a situation and environment where I could be exposed for no real reason.
I was at a party during the COVID-19 crisis and felt “sicker than I’ve ever been”. Got tests after I’d isolated. No antibodies. God damn it. Imagine getting that sick with a cold and then it not even giving you immunity to anything worthwhile.
The difference is really not being able to focus if it's not interesting. Your brain will constantly turn to other stimulation if it's not getting it from the current task. Sometimes you might be able to do it, and other times you won't. That's one of the most frustrating parts of ADHD. You feel like you've done it before, so why can't you do it now? "Normal" people can still focus (or get started) even if something is not interesting, they just have to start.

Most people won't like to do uninteresting things, but the threshold for boredom is extremely low in those with ADHD so they will struggle a lot more to stay focused. It's a spectrum unfortunately, so there's no one definitive measure that says "that's definitely ADHD". To be honest, if you find yourself seriously questioning/wondering about whether or not you have ADHD it probably means you're struggling to an extent and aren't 'normal'. Otherwise, it wouldn't be something you are questioning.
Safari does not block a user from visiting dating websites, this is true even if a dating website is illegal for the user to access. Repressive police states do not limit themselves to only targeting people using dating applications versus dating websites.

If you pay them money, Apple has/will let you make virtually any data siphoning and user-hostile application you want, and they will allow you to sideload it without review (enterprise program). The common factor is control that benefits Apple.
Believe it or not, a lot of it is due to a shared global namespace with global variables as the norm.

It's hard to capture the qualities you mention without that. (Raise your hand if you can think of a system that did; I'd love to know.)

There's more to it than that, of course – the design is excellent – but convention matters, and elisp has a convention not seen in most other large-scale programming systems.
By at least one hostile power. Don't assume that it's only one...
Another variable is that you are also older with a less robust immune system than when you've had colds in your youth. This is why anecdotes are always worthless. You need statistical power to overcome these latent variables that could be biasing your conclusions.
I know that song in the video is something from the 70s with a female singer, but I can't remember which song/singer.

If he didn’t have antibodies then how did he ever recover? Surely the thing doesn’t just burn itself out. Without anything to fight it, won’t it just continually infect him?
I didn't interpret it as a shallow dismissal. I interpreted it as a genuine inquiry and a challenge, as in, "Uh... you say your product is the first product to solve these problems, but git version control ALSO solves those problems, so why and how is your product different?"
I've used a number of gadgets over the years (starting with an Apple Newton), and none of my notes on them have survived.

On the other hand, I've got boxes and boxes of notebooks (Strathmore sketchpads and Moleskine-equivalents) that will outlast me -- to say nothing about cloud providers, backup media or outdated file formats -- unless I suffer a house fire or natural disaster.

Notebooks are cheap, and even terrible ones will last decades with little or no care. You can toss them into backpacks, lend them, get them (a little) wet, leave them in the sun, sit on them, forget them at the coffee shop, and even lose them permanently and basically not worry too much. If I was using a $400 gadget instead, I'd never carry it to the places I currently carry paper. My note-taking and scribbling would go down. I'm not even going to talk about battery capacity anxiety.

The gadget-lover in me would probably be happy with one of these things. My practical side and experience tells me that in the long run they are more trouble than they're worth.
The political narrative they are trying to push is to "abolish the app store".
I could see Coinbase as the world's bank and stock market all in one. Or a pets.com cautionary tale. Check back in a decade or two!
An iPad Pro is great, but not superior to the Cintiq Pros imo. Especially the 24 inch and above. Once you’ve had the extra space you wouldn’t be willing to give it up for a 13 inch screen. I keep hoping for an iMac that you can use the Apple Pencil on for that reason ;P
Yep, looks like you found Satoshi’s HN account - blastomere.

Things they talk about - energy consumption, crypto puzzles, similarity to gold, etc. In 2008! It is either Satoshi or someone very close - Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, Wei Dai, Dave Kleiman, etc.
It's certainly better but the swipe at the end seems completely gratuitous to me, and breaks the HN guideline against snark.

Moreover, you're still breaking this site guideline: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize." The author is not saying anything as stupid as "it's a bunch of people who just believe in a better future", and reducing other people's statements to stupid statements is a trope of poor internet comments.
get ready to be dismayed with just about any decision any UI/UX people make. They like to design interfaces, good ones and bad ones, and they like it when people use them, so they make sure they're adopted and used. UX people don't give a crap about what you like. They like what THEY like. And they LOVE empty space and constant meaningless change.

I suspect that by the time this reaches "release" status, it will have had some feedback incorporated and a few small changes made as token gestures. Whoever designed this will allow nothing more than that, and they'll get their stupid, undeserved raise, and then things will calm down for a while, and sane changes will again be made.

Bug triaging is the foundation of quality and we need more of it
There have been many variants that emerged in the US[0][1], but none of them have been significantly more infectious than the original Wuhan variant (until the Epsilon variants emerged very recently). Most of the ones that are more infectious than the Wuhan variant got nuked by even more infectious variants from elsewhere. I think perhaps the impression that there haven't been any variants stems from the fact that none of the big variants of concern have been from the US, which appears to have just been luck.

this is the open way, the commercial private way with a marketplace of taxable transactions requires hiring a company or (coming soon---because hacks---licensed contractor) software engineer whom with the proper authorization and certifications will charge hundreds of (taxable) dollars to give you such customized functionality.
Others tried to mimic what they did by being more bold, or gross, or edgy... but I don't think it was about the stunts. Somehow they made you feel like you were part of the group.

I don't know if it was the way they filmed it, or the fact that they were so casual and normal around the cameras, even the setups for the scenes were kind of goofy and "home video" style.
if your transactions are the act of publishing, revoking and reissuing new public keys, then immutability is a very desirable property.

where you use those keys to identify yourself remains a private matter between you and the entity you authenticate yourself to.
how is he dismissing data? questionable data should be treated as such... why would a linear extrapolation be a good fit here?
You don't have to actually allocate a house for it to be a universal benefit. All you need is a process for one to apply for a flat in the municipality in which they want to live, and the government provides one.
Personally I'd rather deal with a few bugs than deal with a hostile operating system which is determined to surveil me and curtail my freedom of choice using dark patterns and uncontrollable settings.
It’s a pity OSS doesn’t have the resources to vet the names. In Russian this name doesn’t sound good no matter how you pronounce.
What's the point of SSIDs, really? They just need to be some strong unique in your proximity. I got tired of coming up with witty puns and just used my street address. Is there any downside to this?

In fact, if everyone did this, the alleged privacy problem would go away. Wifi stations really would just be like street numbers.

I'm not sure I understand the threat model here.

Large US companies to have offices over the world.

It's extremely common to siphon the most promising projects or ideas to the HQ. Keep the golden egg hen close to home.

Once the project becomes successful people will ignore or quickly forget where the idea came from.
I think there is a spectrum.

|Disengaged <----------------> Engaged|
|Phone Laptop Pen/Paper|

So even though your phone had a keyboard, it still looked like you were texting instead of paying attention. A small laptop would have probably had a better reception. But I agree, nothing beats taking notes on paper as far as giving the impression of being engaged and attentive.
It's not even well kinda, Cuba absolutely did intervene heavily in Africa. The stereotype of some old south African mercenary that loves to kill communists is directly as a result of this war.
> If you wonder what the method does, or what the valid input range for a parameter is, you are better off just reading the code to see what it does.

I couldn't disagree more.

I was recently programming a library where some parameters could be 0 or greater, some parameters necessarily greater than 0, some parameters could be Infinity, others couldn't...

Similarly, if one parameter is set to zero than another parameter will have no effect...

JSDoc kept the whole thing sane. "Reading the code" would take several minutes to figure out the answer in each case, which would be wasted time in my book.

JSDoc is awesome. Not every function needs it, but plenty do.
In Europe, drugs cost the government money. In America, drugs cost you (and your employer) money.
I feel like one of the best benefits of Tailwind is often overlooked. It's essentially a design system in a box. A simple and general one (which makes sense), but a system none the less. All of the classes being related to each other, ie in `p-1` and `m-1`, the 1 means the same value (0.25 rem). But also the fact that the sizing system exists and is pragmatic is very useful. Tailwind sites often feel more consistent and they just "feel" better because Adam and his team took the time to design a well considered sizing system. The same holds true of colors, shadows, font size, etc.

And even better, if you work at a place where a custom design system is needed, Tailwind has pretty much everything you need to customize your own but still give the same Tailwind productivity to developers.
Thats another variable here. People get older and are more weak over time. Diseases hit you worse in your 30s than in your 20s. Health conditions also tend to crop up after a certain age, like heart conditions that you might blame on a vaccine instead of just you getting older and being predisposed to this condition.
