Why is it that the political salespeople are boring and ugly? Politics would be even more difficult to approach objectively if the politicians were photogenic, charismatic, attractive, and well-spoken.

Television ads have this figured out, viewers subconsciously want to be the smiling cool guy drinking Advertised Beer (tm) and partying with the wealthy and youthful crowd shown in the ad, but no one wants to hang out in the scenes portrayed on CSPAN.

I'm glad to not need to deal with that level of reality distortion yet, but I don't know why that's the case.
The anticipation of an experience can be more enjoyable than the experience itself.
I live five minutes away from my sister and my house gets cut three seconds the entire time. Meanwhile my sister's family had to huddle around the fireplace in their den for warmth. Does she live in the ghetto? Her neighborhood is nicer than mine. If I were to guess, it's because I live near the local police station and she doesn't. It's no grand mystery here. Stop tying to make it about inequality or some other BS.

I wonder if the equivalent of extreme iatrogenics and unnecessary psychological damage and stress also occurs when monitoring servers too much. I have a feeling it does. This is why I typically set higher thresholds like more disk space, memory (equivalent of exercise and healthy diet?) that I really need so I stop monitoring my servers religiously.
Keep posting about this stuff. I can tell you this is a feature our customers often ask for, but we (https://Olark.com) refuse to implement, we do lose business over this.

I'd like to believe the karma for not letting any of our customers be creepy (and/or violate their customers' privacy), pays for the lost business many times over.
Surely it's closer to an estimate than purely random?
People stopped borrowing money. Either because they became old or the financial crisis made them risk averse. This drops interest rates.

The few things that people buy with debt then rises in value. There is also no interest in building more housing because that would result in lower single family home property values.

You have to consider that it's the bank that is paying for the house. As the owner you only pay the mortgage, whose monthly payments are limited by how much people can afford in the first place.
I'm sure my UK-based smart meter is RF-based, but you can hook it up to your wifi to link your energy account to it.

The metres themselves have a 10m range (one for gas, usually outside, another for leccy, usually inside) so a receiver outside of that won't function.
Canada does not have a duopoly[1], and yet, ABC (Anything But Conservative) has been a rallying cry behind a few elections.

The US will probably get better outcomes with a multi-party system, but moving to one will not change the tone of political conversation. (Which is what this thread is about.)

[1] Although it suffers from all the typical FPTP nonsense, where the party that gets 30% of the vote gets 100% of the power.
So...Panasonic - which probably wants to be an electronics company, not an investment fund - booked a huge profit by selling off something which started out as a little demonstration of financial & moral support for a little customer. But which had grown to be ~13% of Panasonic's own market cap - possibly interesting financial regulators, or causing electronics-focused talent there to feel some concern for their career paths. And they did so gradually and quietly, when the no-longer-little customer had long outgrown any need for Panasonic's show of financial & moral support.

I understand why this pushes a lot of peoples' buttons. But objectively, my reaction is "Zzzzz".

The older meters had serial-numbered lockout tags that would break if you attempted to remove them, that prevented access to the mechanicals of the meter under the glass. I imagine that the gearing in the meter had some mechanism to prevent a simple 'rewind' attack.

I also imagine (Hope?) that the power company would measure @ the pole level at some key points to make sure everything added up, and they have lots of data to help spot discrepancies.
"This is reasonable and illuminates something interesting, but I don't agree with it" is pretty widely considered a poor excuse for downvotes without comment, let alone flagging. You're obviously free to downvote whatever you want, but behaving like that is explicitly making this a meaner, dumber, less interesting place.
Awesome tool!

A few things I found so far:

- When running "fit", I get an error when I use the "--yaml_file" parameter mentioned in the readme: "Unrecognized argument -> yaml_file". Using "-yml" works

- When using the model for prediction, what format should "path_to_your_test_dataset.csv" be in? Is that a csv in the same format as the training set except for the column we want to predict? Edit: I just found https://github.com/nidhaloff/igel/blob/v0.4.0/examples/data/...

Finland has 230V, so if you're from the US with 110V the low current rating might be confusing ;-) I'd also guess that in Finland they also run three phases into each house/unit (we do in Germany), meaning that's 3*63A = 189A. (Or just shy of 400A on a 110V grid). For us that's the default grid connection you get for your house.

As for your guess: That's just a cultural thing I suppose. I've never seen outdoor meters around here.
It's unfortunate that most of these descriptions appear to be vague and sparse of any details that would convince a neutral reader that solutions borne out of this particular mention of an indigenous cultural system would be the correct course of action.

Of course it is important to consider viewpoints and concerns that aren't biased by western imperialist attitudes, but this comes off as arguing a course of action solely based on a more recently appetizing sentiment regarding solutions for such poltical/social/enviormental issues.

Hard to take seriously an article having such an obvious agenda.
Why not keep the notes in a VeraCrypt/TrueCrypt drive/partition? You can sidestep all the gpg complexity, and you get a little better protection since note filenames won't even be visible (and if you're really paranoid you can entirely obfuscate and hide the encrypted drive in unused partition space).

Or just tick on the full disk encryption option in your OS (assuming it's a modern one like Win 10, recent Ubuntu, etc.). It's just as good at keeping your data protected at rest as any other encryption option you can run in userspace, and there's less chance of some file operation snafu accidentally unencrypting or leaking your data.

Agree and it's hard to find cohesive takes which stitch together all these events in a way that make sense, i.e. the analysis includes enough tech-awareness to believe it.

The only stuff I've found which felt in the ballpark of spot-on were:

1) https://studio.ribbonfarm.com/p/the-great-weirding
This was a fascinating series of essays that generally walks through why, after "Harambe" in 2016 or whenever, things seemed to have gone off the rails towards something new.

2) Cypherpunk movement's source docs. If I could bold, underline, and highlight this, I would. I have never read any group of literature/essays, especially with publishing dates in the 1990s, that more felt like a post-mortem on the 2014->2021 craziness than cypherpunk docs. I had actually wondered for a while where this core movement went, but the quick answer I've come to is cryptocurrency/e2e messaging projects absorbed a lot of it, and then the the writing often took a turn for the crazy/non-PC in the final 10 yards. But, they so accurately diagnose the growth of virtual communities and their pseudo-governmental influence, digital economy developments and all the second order effects, and so on and so on. If you're looking for people who really saw what was coming, this is the group. One of the good reads: http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~wex/panoptic-paper.html
I think this is interesting not necessarily in a security sense, but more in a "wow, you can do that" kind of sense. Also considering how distribution companies have refused to provide this data, you'd think it would be harder to obtain.
I often wonder if people’s financial irresponsibility is due to a parenting failure. It’s easy to blame the government for taking your last dollar if you’re unaware that you’re living like someone who makes 3x your income.

I was raised by working parents, we bought used cars, lived in the same house for 20-plus years, went on road trip vacations, ate out at a buffet once a week. We watched tv, but I was mostly confused by the lifestyles we saw there. I’m not saying it was a perfect experience, I hated my parents until I started paying my own way. Suddenly I saw my coworkers were struggling on twice my income. I have lots of problems, but money isn’t one of them.
Although I'm no fan of Musk he's a pretty smart guy and he's done a pretty good job so far of toeing the line. (Though I don't envy his lawyers because I suspect he toes the line a touch more than they'd prefer.) And, as the saying goes, winning fixes everything, so I think the fact that Tesla is "profitable" and has a promising technology at the core of the business helps, too. It's clear the stock price isn't entirely derived from the company's value but the company clearly isn't worthless, either.

All that is to say, I don't think there needs to be any additional restrictions or regulations on investors to deal with meme stocks because I think the problem will eventually be addressed via the existing system. Whether it's Musk or (more likely) some other enterprising social media personality I think we'll eventually see a meme stock that's so egregiously ridiculous and loses a lot of people a lot of money that the SEC, and perhaps the DOJ, will be forced take action. Maybe even multiple egregious meme stocks will be used in quick succession in order signal where the SEC's "hard line" will be.

And I eagerly await Matt Levin's "Memes are Securities Fraud" column when it happens!

Also the use of "remote" to mean contractor legitimately confused me for a second, as if it never crossed the author's mind that a full-time employee could be remote.

I’d say most users on hacker news know how to set up complex rules for email. A guess, but a safe one.

The magic of Hey is the user interface. The “opinionated” nature of their design choices.

To me, their workflows mostly made sense. For me it really really smooths out my email workflow into a logical set of steps.

Other people may not like that flow, and Hey wouldn’t be for them.

So I’d counter and say Hey is for 2 groups.
1. Those who don’t know how to set up complex rules
2. Those who don’t want to, and Hey’s flow works with their own.
I agree. I just find it amusing that similar behavior can be viewed so differently depending on context.

There is nothing inherently wrong with middlemen asserting themselves into a transaction. Our whole economy depends on it.

FOSS is the start. Then comes governance, culture, etc.

Bryan Cantrill's "Power to Fork" thesis is relevant. http://dtrace.org/blogs/bmc/2010/08/03/opensolaris-and-the-p...

Sadly, I lived that experience on another FOSS project. Wish I had heard Cantrill before I committed to that effort.

"Whataboutism." What about what the Belgians did to the Congo? What's unfair and unscientific is to treat all white people and everything they do the same.
I hope this also takes care of the battery life issue. Teams video meetings will take my 8 hour battery life, and suck it all down in under an hour. Zoom would not even put a dent in my battery any more than me doing my regular work.
Again, ‘widows and orphans’ is a well established term when referring to the impact of inflation. It generally refers to those on fixed incomes - i.e. those without the pricing power to fight for increases in income to combat inflation.

You seem to be stuck on the word orphans, let’s use ‘those on a fixed income’ instead.

If you can get past the word orphans, may I ask you to address the core point of my argument?

Wonder why WebView2 would be any better than Electron? They are both Chromium based and if kept ups to date should be almost identical, would it just be saving disk space and sharing some memory since it would be using a single install of the browser engine?

In my opinion long form podcasts are fixing this. The gotcha nonsense on Twitter isn't going away, but at the same time long form discussions about complex topics are growing in popularity. So there is at worst a duality where things are getting worse on one hand and better on the other.

This is an extremely parochial take. I have to assume this is what American politics feels like to the rest of the world. Like, theres policy around indigenous stuff in New Zealand. Ok. That is supposed to inform how a literal continent is to be governed? Why would anyone else on earth care?

You may know more than me about medicine, but when it comes to allocating resources, I know just as much if not more than you.

If we start to test more, and understand the magnitude of the problem better (despite false positives/negatives) we can better allocate capital to solving this problem.

Sure, "cancer is horrible, we should already allocate as much capital as possible" but this just isn't reality. As soon as the addressable market for early-detected cancer treatment goes from X per year to 100X per year (and 1,000X or 10,000X is "even better"), big pharma has more motivation to actually R&D safe treatments for early-detected cancers.

Not testing more to detect cancer early is silly, if only from the perspective of capital allocation.

> would an engineer at Netflix ever “play this game” to win ?

I think you're missing the point. The leaderboard is an extra bonus. The main thing is squashing bugs you were already squashing. But yes, there are definitely engineers at Netflix who would play this to "win", just for the love of the game.

But let me relate another similar story -- when Amazon released the Deepracer, they added a leaderboard. All around the world, people got paid by their employers to compete. I think the first winner worked for Samsung and was paid her full time salary just to compete on Deepracer. They saw it as a point of pride that one of their employees was on the leaderboard, with enough value to pay her to work on it full time. I'm pretty sure that is what they are going for here with the global leaderboard. Everyone wins in that situation. The company gets to brag about having the best bug squasher, the employee gets to get paid for squashing bugs, and Amazon gets publicity.

The largest groups that live in my metros downtown core are, swaths of poor people who's crime ridden neighborhoods have yet to gentrify, the insanely wealthy who gentrified the best of the dilapidated old homes, and young hipsters who live in condos.

For the most part (in my area), the only reason companies have moved downtown is because the city has given them sweetheart deals to be there. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of workers commute into the downtown area, because it's not a desirable place to live.
You can check the analysis courses offered where you took calc and linear algebra to see if you have sufficient prereqs.

Depending on the level of comfort or exposure you've previously had to proofs, it could be good to have a book covering introduction to proof handy. A book on counterexamples in analysis is also something I've seen recommended.

For proofs, something that covers direct proof, proof by contrapositive, proof by contradiction, and mathematical induction are good to be familiar with.

Delta-epsilon proofs are also good to have alternative or more accessible explanations to draw on.

If you're covering topics in multivariable calculus, then it might also be handy to cover some of the calculations from a calc 3/4 book to see implementations of it.

Apple might not make developers have empathy for users, but it makes them pretend that they do.

A software dev colleague of mine bought a ZTE phone early in the iPhone era and the immediate thing we noticed is that it would peg the CPU, get hot, and run out the battery in a few minutes.

In the desktop world any program is entitled to peg the CPU as much as it likes; if it is blocking the render thread it might get some "tough love" from the OS, but otherwise it's not a problem. In mobile, the CPU is a precious resource.

Android has not caught up with the idea that anything is precious.

I have one comment about this: If a bridge or a building collapses they would go after the engineer who signed the project. Same with accountants and other professions. We should start holding tech companies and software engineers accountable as well. Is your software spying on people? Using dark patterns? Well, I think you should face the consequences of your actions. Software are as real as buildings or bridges now a days. Storing the users passwords as clear texts? Using admin:admin for credentials?

10 years of WebGL experience on the field prove otherwise.

There are browser flags to disable black listing, which is something that regular Joe/Jane has no idea whatsoever that they exist.

Besides, you can head off to webgpu.io and follow up on meeting minutes.

Even better, attend the upcoming WebGL/WebGPU meeting from Khronos (registration currently open) and pose that question if you prefer to hear the same from the browser vendors themselves.
I've seen Prescheme (a subset of Scheme used to bootstrap a full-fledged dialect of Scheme) that seems to allow only stack-based allocation and therefore forbids certain types of closures that cannot be reduced via hoisting at compile time.[0]

Lisp with ref counting (assuming acyclic references) instead of GC could also be interesting to try to hack together. I have a feeling closures would be a particularly quick way to get reference cycles, so some concept of weak references may be necessary.
