The paper in [1], which I wrote in 2014, was rejected (in a slightly different version) by CACM. The referee was a Microsoft researcher, who knew nothing about patents and relied on some "expert" who told him "the patent law has changed." This was completely bogus because the law on obviousness hadn't changed at all.

So the big companies, e.g. IBM and Microsoft, are not on our side at all. Neither are ACM and IEEE. I've been on this issue for a long, long time, and it really WILL take a bottom-up revolution. We will get no support whatsoever from the people who should be leading.

Are you sure you’re not quoting the surface temperature for Lytton as opposed to the air temperature?
That is like saying after a major earthquake... oh, fracking caused it. There is absolutely no way to say that climate change is responsible for this or the heat "dome" or whatever they called it here in the PNW. If you look at the averages, you can see that there are annual fluctuations. There are many factors to consider, not just that global warming is responsible for everything.
This is the classic case of development velocity pitted against operational stability. Entirely different incentives, and when vested into the same role that role is bound to prioritize one incentive over the other. For this reason I think they must be separated at least by body if not by team. They certainly need to separated by different managers.

I tend to think QA is perhaps well situated alongside Ops("DevOps"), and very close to Product + Design.
Nobody was calling for stellar support and white-glove service, though? Just any support.
I take exception to the portrayal of Mother Jones as "far left" or even of the existence of much of a far left in the US. This is a tactic of the overwhelmingly rightist attitude in the US to portray everything as "both sides", trying to find an equivalence between the nationalist and xenophobic fearmongering of Newsmax or Breitbart and the "radical antifa left" of publications like Mother Jones that advocate for workers' rights.

The fear-based rhetoric of Newsmax and Breitbart needs an opposite and equal villain, someone to really point the finger at say, see, it's them, they're the real baddies! But this opposite and equal villain doesn't exist. Workers' rights and unions are pretty basic concepts in most western countries; the US is one of the exceptions where such things are commonly vilified.

Worse, portraying both of these two sides of American politics as opposite and equal leads to more moderate people talking about false middle grounds. Example: "maybe we shouldn't put kids in cages but we don't want wild open borders that allows every Mexican criminal to come in! So, we still should be tough on immigration, but not that tough!" This apparent "middle ground" ends up being just more of the same fear-based rhetoric of xenophobia.
You should not be proud of that. Part of the whole problem is that we get our lesser of two evils, but then everyone stops paying attention and they are never held accountable to their campaign promises.
Of course Slate would try to frame one unfortunate incident as the death knell of a state that’s knocking it out if the park right now. Meanwhile, thousands of extra nursing home deaths in NY don’t get a similar article. It’s like they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

Yes, it does. I'm not sure what the author is trying to prove, but he's feeding a bunch of non-seasonal data into a highly seasonal modeling technique, and then hurling insults when it doesn't work because that's not what it was originally designed for. I'm sorry, but it just seems childish.

News now days is full of drama BS. It’s so fatiguing for me a t least
The PFOF premium that Robinhood commands is really fascinating. Last I checked market makers were paying like double for RH’s flow as opposed to Schwab or whatever.

I’ve been doing work in crypto lately and it always creeps me how hard the exchanges push you to lever up. RH makes derivatives trading seem like free money. Citadel is willing to pay real money to be the counterparty.

“HFT” gets a bad rap in spite of often providing a necessary service, and a lot of that is because of Michael Lewis’s dumbass book, but there is a dark side where firms round up unsophisticated people and sell them the opportunity to engage in complex derivatives transactions with sharky pros via dark patterns and sketchy growth hacking.

It's a good and fair question, and of course I'm going to dodge it because I wasn't prepared to defend my statement. Probably should have ended with a rhetorical question instead.
Unfortunately college puts up the same barriers. Much of the time I spent in high school learning to code was for nothing, because my university wouldn't let me even attempt to test out of the first- and second-year courses. In another instance they also wouldn't let me count a graduate statistics course for a baby-stats elective requirement. "We WoULdn'T bE an AccREdiTeD iNStiTutION if wE lEt yOU do THat!"

I ended up majoring in math instead of compsci as a result. It ended up being a good choice, because now I have skills in both areas. But I was pretty disappointed as an incoming freshman, enthusiastic about computer science, that college was nothing like what my parents and teachers made it out to be.
I believe the book may be called "project hail Mary".
I wonder if temperatures can be read simply by reading electrical noise and training some sort of regression model on it, instead of using an actual sensor.

I wonder, there must be even some sort of butterfly-effect correlation between the room temperature and e.g. the number of errors in non-ECC RAM or some foo.
Now I think I see what you mean - "work digitally" meaning a shorthand you can use with a keyboard? Rather than one you could hand-draw on a tablet and then use an OCR style thing.

It's not phonetic, but it's got some of the same approaches like -ing suffix being a single symbol.

Interesting, thanks :)
Agree. This is the third or fourth front page HN discussion about the recent couple days of heat in the Pacific Northwest, and all the discussions have been full of hot takes about climate change that unscientifically try to establish a cause without any statistical analysis or evidence.

Cliff Mass, Professor of Atmospheric Science and chief scientist of the Northwest Modeling Consortium mentioned in his recent blog posts that the heat wave was a perfect storm of factors like compression from sinking air coming off the West slopes of the Cascades. He also specifically noted (https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2021/06/incredible-temperatur...):

> Is global warming contributing to this heatwave? The answer is certainly yes. Would we have had a record heatwave without global warming. The answer is yes as well.

"Bubbles of comfort" are not unique to Western countries, that is true. Every country on the planet offers a subset of their population a great life style, the only variable is how much of the country actually gets

a) to partake in that lifestyle

b) has the tools to reach that lifestyle when starting outside of it

Is there a law that prevents companies from completely encrypting their data at rest? Data should only be decrypted if the person(s) have the private keys. Government entities can request the information all they want but all they will get is an encrypted dump. You will need to ask the person that owns the private keys to decrypt or just pound sand (there are laws preventing self incrimination, so private keys should fall in the same domain)

How do you think hypotheses are created? An educated guess is a belief that something is the case, which you then test and adjust your world view.
Climate change has always been coming and here. That’s what it is, changing. No one actually argues this.

I think you mean man made crisis. But, was it man made crisis in 1937 when the previous record was set? Why was that just cyclic or random weather event but this has to be a smoking gun?

It not effective to ”weather isn’t climate… unless it’s used to argue climate change”. That isn’t helpful. Holding up a snowball or pointing at rain is just a shallow reinforcement to people that don’t really understand the topic and that goes both ways.

Instead maybe be helpful and put together the temperature trend for that city over 100 years if you want to get people on board the idea that it’s rapid warming. Or discuss non-political solutions. Or try to not bandwagon finger wag for what should be a level-headed discussion.

Thank you for your comment (useful and interesting information).
So it looks like your suggestion is to have 2 types of engineers in the team, where at least one of them is focused on QA + encourage bi-directional code reviews.

Could you tell a bit about the involvement of PMs in the QA process from your experience? What's working and what isn't?
I've started deploying a new app under testing (public testing) a few days ago (it's still under review).

I've also made similar flow for iOS (test flight).

I already had few apps on Play for years now but didn't need to update them within the past 2 years.

The AppStore and Play Store feels now much similar than before:

- bundles / bitcode - The AppStore get modules they can repackage on "your behalf"

- review - for a year or more it takes a few days for your app to be reviewed. Even just for testing (public beta)

- signed by store, that's the major difference now (which as stated required for bundles)

Iiuc, that was always the case with Amazon AppStore (noted by commonsware https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27651983)

Personally I'm more concerned when/if a private certificate won't be allowed at all (eg iDevices).
> If “Parsing is validation, but validation is not parsing” is true then it is also true about compilers.

This is a false statement, considering that the cases where something is validation but not parsing may very well lie in the complement of the set of compilers to the set of all computable functions. The converse statement that if this were true about the smaller set (of compilers), it would also be true about the larger set (of all programs) would on the other hand be correct.

I'm happy you brought it up. I read about this a while back (haven't yet prioritized doing it though). More I was commenting on the principle of using a closed-source TOTP product. Reading the reverse engineer blog gave me anxiety. The project had issues in the past when they blocked spoofing a certain Apple device and it's disgusting that this is even a 'thing'.
Tangentially, over my lifetime experience, I understand that QA Testing should be done on public (user) interfaces.

Intermediate data marshalling or transport, eg kafka delivering data from one application to another, is a dev ticket but has no QA component. Just as QA doesn't look at the individual data structures and method access modifiers, there are technical tasks and processes that QA has no stake in, nor can they do anything but complicate a delicate system with additional instrumentation/hooks. Generally, developers will want instrumentation, which is a public interface that QA can test, but is not mandated by QA as part of design.
IMHO, Axios is trying to make the impression that nothing interesting is happening right now, that the new administration is too busy with real work to stirr the crowrd, and that all controversy is firmly in past.

Bit that's a lie: axios is not neutral (are there neutral objective news agencies today?) and there's a lot happening right now. Gathered by pieces from various biased sources, at the very least we have 3 big controversies: the Texas border problem (a big problem, actually), the well known ideology is invading military, schools and gov agencies, and the mysterious "test ballots" in the NYC elections that would cast some doubts if the story gets more publicity. So yeah, the party is going on.

The only reason I can think of besides app testing would be if you had a Mac released in late 2013 or early 2014 and you wanted to run macOS 10.9 directly. You can sometimes use Internet Recovery to re-download a copy of 10.9 as it shipped on the computer, but maybe your Internet is poor, or you want to install the OS from a different model of computer, then put it back in the computer that originally shipped with 10.9? So there are reasons, but the list is pretty small. You can see which OS was originally installed when the Mac model was first released at https://everymac.com/systems/by_capability/minimum-macos-sup... And I should have clarified that there's a difference between doing an Internet Recovery and a Recovery Boot. Your Recovery Boot is often the latest version of macOS (though I might be wrong about that, all I remember is the UI changes with new version upgrades) while Internet Recovery is the original version of macOS that shipped with your Mac. (It always looks a bit ugly...)

I do not want to go in the details of particular case. My opinion is that in general the paten system had outlived its purpose since some time and is now nothing but a detriment to society. It only benefits big corps at the expense of everybody else.

I can say that it is not possible for a regular person to do anything without breaking some patent. Mostly obvious and not deserving being granted in a first place. The only reason said person is not always sued is because of being too small of a fish. The minute a couple of bucks is made all of the vultures come down.
Interesting how closely this tracks the geographic dispersion of haplogroup R1b. It’s practically certain this innovation spread by migration and conquest, which implies a certain level of central authority.

Genuine question: why not distribute them yourself (e.g. on GitHub)? If more and more developers do this, it will be like pc software. We don't have to accept a storefront (on Android at least).
I wonder to what extent this is affected by the influence of big tech companies. No doubt the advent of deplatforming, demonetization, and censorship has led to a change in exposure of various media outlets and news stories. Given the frequently inconsistent application of content policies, not to mention blackholing of political figures like Trump, I imagine the increased drop shown here with right leaning media is at least partially driven by companies that are left biased taking actions against right biased sources more frequently.
>If net-asset-gains in a year were treated as income, the actual tax rate could be cut by 80% and we'd still have increased tax revenue.

But wouldn't that only be the case because we're collecting the tax upfront rather than allowing people to defer it? Therefore the tax revenue might be higher in the short term because we're collecting everything upfront plus whatever was deferred in the previous years, but decades into the future the deferred taxes would dry up (because everyone's immediately realizing their gains), taking us back to square one?
I mean I had a fun conversation with an older lady who was living in my birth state. This made a MUCH better experience than having a purely technical call.
You cannot say what is responsible (if that’s possible at all) but you can say whether climate changes makes events more (or less) probable than they used to be. Such statements are usually based on simulations (ensembles) where the number of occurrences of particular events is counted. An example that‘s easy to understand is probability of precipitation from the weather forecast: if it says that the probability of rain is 72% at a particular place, then it means that rain was observed in 72% of the simulations (which are run with slightly different parameters to account for uncertainty in starting conditions). This is a simplified description but maybe it helps?
