From what I remember this (at least used to) fall under the heading "operations research", which spawned a lot of mathematical tools used elsewhere like queueing theory. Related terms include supply chain engineering, logistics, industrial engineering, and the general ideas of scientific management, Taylorism, etc.
But you're fine because you didn't give them much personal data. Because by now you're perfectly aware of this scenario. So you take your privacy seriously.
> Like you I don't understand how/why people do this. I think it's about doing something different.

You raised the question and answered it in two sentences. This is exactly why some people are able to take a complete break and "do nothing" - their daily life is already filled to the brim with work, family, kids, etc, that when they get on vacation, what actually feels different is doing "nothing".
> I do a lot of sitting quietly, with my mind almost empty of thought.

This is a totally natural state. There's nothing wrong with it and if you want a change of mind then I suggest you let it happen.

And probably get off social media too.
I can see in their FAQ that there are plans to monetize this. So they're building an ML model that feeds on the work done by millions of people and then selling it? How is this even ethical? Not to mention we'd be feeding the model while using it. Guess this is another instance where we are becoming the product.
> Why are they so rarely used despite an almost free performance benefit?

Try measuring the performance benefit. You'll probably find there isn't much/any.

It may have been a boost around 2000, but modern NICs have all sorts offloads now.
he just has to tweet something remotely bearish and the market craters

The last time he cracked a joke about BTC maxis and sure enough, the market dumped. When he talked about BTC's eco impact, it dumped hard as well. You can trace the pumps/dumps to the exact moment of his bearish/bullish tweets.

It's unreal
I don't understand the question. Each lottery ticket is made out to a single "recipient"—in what situation do you imagine a double spend?

I don’t fully understand it, but I believe the way to think about it is that: we never “see” something fall into a black hole. But the photons from the “last moment we see” get so redshifted they’re essentially invisible. Therefore from a reasonable distance it “looks” like the object disappeared and the event horizon grew in size.

Here’s a video, he talks about the redshift around the 8 minute mark. https://youtu.be/vNaEBbFbvcY
Yes, under "How does GitHub Copilot work?":

> [...] The GitHub Copilot editor extension sends your comments and code to the GitHub Copilot service, which then uses OpenAI Codex to synthesize and suggest individual lines and whole functions.
It is unbelievable because it's Russian propaganda
the main argument against Copilot for me. it takes longer to grok existing code than just write it from ground up.
I don't think anyone is ignoring these issues - on the contrary, even in these very rare cases of side effects vaccination efforts were halted immediately.

Safe is always relative. If you don't think the vaccines are safe enough, then please also be consistent and don't engage in equally unsafe activities, e.g. don't drive a car, exercise regularly, eat healthily, don't encourage your girlfriend/wife/daughter/friend to take the contraceptive pill or, even worse, get pregnant, also do not take a large number of other drugs etc.

Again, from what we know today, it is safer to vaccinate your kids then driving them around in a car. Even when the risk/benefit profile is even/negative, absolute risk is super low.
> If you want the value synced then it should be a controlled component, where the locked state is passed in as a prop.

This is the kind of stuff that's difficult for me to wrap my mind around. If I have to remember to "do it this way, but not that way", that's mental overhead. Especially when it's difficult to articulate exactly under what circumstances this problem occurs.

Obviously, there are plenty of people that have no problem with it. However, my first inclinations seem to be more likely to be those that React has problems with. I'm having a difficult time "thinking in React".

Nineteen states currently have laws limiting and in some cases effectively prohibiting municipalities from offering commercial services on broadband networks. Most of them did so under the guise of constructing and operating community broadband networks requires taking on public debt via bond offerings, tying up money that could otherwise have been used for public safety, public pensions, roads and other infrastructure.
Yikes, this article could be used for red-pill bingo. I think there has been a pretty big cultural shift in dating here in the U.S. Because of that younger people need to be more open to talking about sex and dating with peers because the media/entertainment industry has failed us and our aging parents just don't understand that its not the 70's or 80's anymore.

However, if you start a conversation talking about hypergamy and chads, you're simply lobbing a grenade and hoping no one will be able to throw it back at you.

wsl on windows 10 has been amazing to develop and work on.
Interestingly, there are two stages of any project when self-hosting is way more efficient.

First is an MVP stage, when you do it on a single VPS for $5/month + $1 for backups.

Second is multifold scaling stage, when you rent or even buy a couple of cabinets of bare metal hardware.

BTW, AWS Postgres does not support master-master replication, which makes no-downtime migration pretty hard. Just remember about those small quirks making vendor lock stronger.
Not sure why you are being downvoted. We are saying similar things. I think you just mean the real wage stays the same if you get an inflation adjustment. My point was without that adjustment (or an adjustment less than the inflation rate) the real wage decreases.
A Scholarly Screw-Up of Biblical Proportions
not involved, not a lawyer here - there is a theory in local US law about "regulated monopoly of municipal services" .. related to the way relatively expensive infrastructure is built, who pays for that, and who has rights to revenue and who has rights to do business on the infrastructure.

It has been ruled in most places that I know of, that certain utilities like water are in this category, but also sometimes things like garbage collection. The reason is that it does cost capital to build acceptable infrastructure, and also the services are less expensive to the consumer when a single business can recoup their costs over a longer period of time.

naturally, corruption and cronyism also thrive in this environment, seeking long-term returns as vendor lock-in. The amounts of money over years, plus the security of income, can be very attractive to certain parties.

I suspect that this background affects the debate and policy, but generally, political talking points do not rely on precedent and fact, more the emotions and loyalties.. no idea on that
Yes, I forget what it’s called. It connects to your cellphone over bluetooth and then creates a mesh network with other people’s radio devices to text each other in the wilderness. Also, if one person has cell service it can route texts out through them.

It had a kickstarter and then later they shifted more to forest fire fighters and search and rescue. I will edit this comment if I remember what its called.

No, the risk for anyone to develop a lethal thrombosis is roughly 5 per million. The chances are much higher for younger women, to the point where it exceeds the risk to die of COVID.

That doesn't look like a "leak", but more like the usual mass scraping of APIs.

An actual data leak from a breach would contain password hashes and private messages.

Show HN: Use SIM Cards for Verification instead of SMS 2FA
Hey HN! Natalie here. We're tru.ID (https://tru.ID) and we're rather excited to share with you a new way of using the mobile phone number for account creation and login - and replace SMS 2FA and passwords.

How it works?
tru.ID APIs connect directly to the issuer of the mobile number - the mobile carrier network itself. We authenticate that the SIM card is matched to the phone number on account, and that pairing forms the basis of the verification check. The cool part is that it's an API, so you integrate once and scale as you need.

Is it private?
Absolutely. No app details are stored as part of the check, and no PII is exchanged. You can review the detail in post or on our site.

If you already have a 2FA solution, tru.ID can work alongside those.

At this stage, we're basically saying - whether app or web, don't build your new account registration flows until you've checked out tru.ID, and we're effectively looking for feedback and early adopters.

Not exactly the same, but goTenna Mesh delivers similar functionality.

It connects to your phone via Bluetooth then transmits data via UHF to a mesh network of devices.
I like the example LOL.

- Municipal broadband is a government handout. It artificially lowers prices.

- Municipal broadband expands the role of government. It's an extra program for the municipality to manage.

- Expanding government programs is a tax on residents, even if they don't benefit from broadband access.

- Municipal broadband is hostile to business. Companies cannot reasonably compete with a service that the government pumps money into.

Is this automation of the Search Stack overflow, copy, and paste workflow?
It's a moving target. At first I wouldn't sit through genuinely asinine popular media, like 'Friends'. This is not unhealthy: most of it is shit. But over time, I've found that I can't sit through anything that isn't utterly engaging. My SO used to joke that I 'hated everything' until that started to make me feel bad.

Paying attention to anything that isn't doesn't at least appear to be addressing existential dread has lost all flavour. I'm not sure what the solution is.

Before anyone suggests it, it's clear that I'm dealing with clinical depression, but medical help has been of limited benefit. Therapists don't seem to be familiar with the situation that is being described by posters here, don't have tools to suggest. I suspect that it's not so widespread a phenomenon outside of knowledge work.
"...or you're sunk"

I believe there is a very unfortunate example of this in Miami in the recent condominium collapse.

A bridge recently collapsed in Italy.

Etc.

So the problem of failing concrete structures is not 'theoretical' but a very real issue. Even though most concrete construction does seem to last pretty well.
Of course each situation can be unique. I wouldn’t recommend staying at any place that overworks employees or unfairly compensates them.

I am referring to tech folks arbitrarily switching jobs JUST for a pay increase, every year or two years. What’s left behind many cases is in maintainable code where people shrug it off as “someone else’s problem.”
You get a whole check-up per year at that rate? Here in the states I had to see a doctor (in network with my health insurance) twice during the pandemic, each visit lasted under 40 minutes in an online video call, combined cost out of pocket: $1000 USD.
The core problem is that no mature economy will have any need to accept BTC payments. Their native currency will likely be stable and they'll also have infrastructure to support fast, cheap payments via legacy means.

There is really no incentive to accept crpyto for any large merchant. In fact, the number of online merchants I've seen who accept crypto has actually gone down over the last few years.
ECS trades kubernetes manifests and generalized tools for cloudformation or the AWS UI, though..

Most everything else seems to be the same thing as if you ran with EKS, just different names for everything.

> but the CPI covers both owners equivalent rent (if you owned your house) and rent (if you rent)?

The hypothesis is that folks have dropped out of the rental market as well (e.g. rents have hit a threshold that's caused people to live with parents longer or even become homeless.

I don't think that would be captured in CPI
Whereas Bezos goes the other way. He wants to claim that he was lucky at Amazon, not that he foresaw the chokehold he would be able to put suppliers in, built a company that encouraged people to burn out and ruthlessly pushed employees and partners.

There's always a blend of work, intelligence and luck that goes into success, so it's nice to have anyone emphasizing luck. But it's definitely supposed to distract from how he kept long term deferring returns on investment to go all tentacley into every business line.

(I should point out that however hard he pushed his employees, he seems to compensate them for it. If you worked in one of his warehouses from the jump his RSU-distributions would have netted you enough for a downpayment.)
I'm sure they still see time of day effects, day of week effects, month of year effects.
We could do it in the US too! Convince the Democrats to give up $x billions in $something to do universal healthcare and I bet you could get a bunch of Republicans to support it.

The problem is that neither party wants to make deals. They both want to have their existing programs AND to add extra ones on too.

Everyone follows their incentives. None of them have the incentive to make a deal and get de-elected. They have lots of incentive to grandstand and call the other side bad-guys for being bad and not agreeing to this thing that "we all know is moral and right" that clearly we don't have some kind of 90% super-duper extra majority that all agree it's right. If we did, it would most likely be done already.

Yeah this is what has been really bothering me about the inflation narrative being pushed everywhere. The same people crying about inflation now have been "warning" about it forever and have been consistently wrong.

I'm totally open to the idea that "things are different this time" but an inflationary spike after the deflationary collapse of COVID isn't surprising at all. I definitely see some prices increasing but most of them are the same or less. It's really difficult to untangle what is inflation and what is just a lingering supply shock from everything being shut down.
I just wish the inflation people would have more humility in their predictions.

In precision shooting, any anxiety absolutely destroys your scores. When your heartbeat alone is enough to drop points directly, anxiety is brutal.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if a lot of top precision shooters were on beta blockers.
>that the price to e.g. build an app or website will decrease

Yes, and this in turn increases demand as more people/companies/etc.. can afford it.
In most companies you still need to understand the business requirements, but only to better implement what was already decided. Management doesn't leave much room for techies to make decisions that impact business.
> Routers will accept a "shut up" request. If A wants to block B, it sends to a router on the path, the router pings A to validate the source, and then blocks traffic from B to A for a few minutes. This also contains DDOS attacks. Routers can forward "shut up" requests to the next router in the path, for further containment.

This is an invitation to silence unwanted users by certain governments.
Your comment about VCs makes no sense. If a VC wants you to work hard because that’s how a VC gets rich, that means that working hard leads to building a successful company. If it were purely luck, why would the VC care if you worked hard or not?
I would say that, generally speaking, data regulation is another huge topic. Not sure if how much it applies here though, but considering they process payments and similar, they need to implement GDPR stuff for Europe

I wonder if by using Github Copilot you are training Github Copilot to code better. I don't see this as replacing a programmer, but I could see it as an advanced, possibly semi-automatic refactoring tool. This could allow a less skilled programmer to be more productive and produce better code, making them more valuable. Also, licensing was mentioned. I would not want Github Copilot training on private repos.
It's FOSS supposed lack of interest in multimedia the reason why closed gardens don't let you backup stuff?

Moreover, the FOSS world is what is pushing technology further, without FOSS you wouldn't have git, ffmpeg, 7z and other archiving tools. The reason why a lot of FOSS tools deal with plaintext is because it opens much more doors than you can even think about.

BTW, if you're an EU citizen you can get zipped html copies of your FaceBook data, and I assume of Snapchat as well.

If individual voters have contact with a portion of the government that performs well and offers good value, it undermines the Republican effort to vilify all publicly provided services.

There are other talking points, but making municipal actions illegal also stands against GOP talking points around local government and control.

It’s just an attempt to make sure people don’t like their government; because liking government is a gateway drug to voting against Republicans.

Using the words "hypotheses" or "scientific discussion" doesn't make those things hypotheses or scientific discussion. The first takes place within the parameters of experimentation, and the latter in papers and journals.

Again, this is not a decision I've made, but the actual definition of the things. I can't call a lollipop a frog and then get mad when it doesn't jump, or someone licks it. It is what it is.
