Isn't inflation above gains essentially a devaluing of the market? If the stock market goes slightly down and inflation ramps up significantly isn't that the same as a crash?
That's not what I've said. I'm not a financial expert by any means but I think the stock market has proved again and again that it is not reliable and can be manipulated easily.

People short-squeezing stocks, shooting their "value" by 30x in 2 hours making them millionaires.

Hedge funds manipulating stocks to meet their portfolios

IPO's in billions of dollars for new, non-profitable startups just because of hype. when you look at the balance sheet it makes no sense.

The market is volatile and inflated, it is as clear as day.
Whether there will be a crash? that's beyond my level.
>Bittorrent lacks convenience and a nice UX which seems to be required for mass adoption.

I thought it did have mass adoption.

My sister uses it, my Grandpa uses it, and pretty much every single person who watched Game of Thrones back in the day used it too.

(There was no way for Australians to watch Game of Thrones legally, the same day it came out in the US, until maybe season 3. Even then it was linked to a $90/month cable TV plan in a country with low cable adoption rates. Hence everybody torrented it and/or shared it with their workmates on USB sticks.)
As it says in the notes that you linked to:

> In distributed systems, it is frequently unnecessary to know when something happened in a global context. Instead, it is only necessary to know the order of events. And often times it is only necessary to know the order of certain events, such as those that are visible to a particular host.

They are talking about logical clock implementations as a way to avoid having to build a potentially expensive sychronised 'physical clock' system with sufficient accuracy and security for the application.

The notes also talk about ways to get higher accuracy synchronisation.
I think it's supposed to work that way in Vue 3 as you don't import the full Vue script anymore.

Also as long as we're talking about Vue, people that have Vue 2 apps and missed the 3.1 release announcement (I don't remember seeing it on HN's frontpage) should check it out, there is a compatibility layer that works really well to migrate progressively.

BCPL was revolutionary. C was evolution in action.

Describing him as a schoolteacher is slightly bizarre. Technically true at one stage in his life. He was also a brilliant computer scientist for many many years and died in 1975 still in his oxbridge CS career. He had stopped being a schoolteacher in 1951.

Stracheys family includes Lytton Strachey who wrote a fantastic biography of Queen Victoria.

Wiki notes he informed the M4 macro processor which is also a Unix utility and patented fundamental ideas behind multi access time-sharing which MIT acknowledged in their ground breaking deployments.

This article doesn't do him justice. Read the wiki and judge for yourself.

Given the amount of work they contribute to the Linux kernel, I expect you not to use anything Linux related then.
A few years back Coca-Cola got in trouble by doing exactly this. What they were doing was taking tap-water, and purifying it so they could sell it as "Dasani" - not a mineral water product, exactly, but a "lifestyle drink" they called it.

The thing about water when it's pure enough is that it's remarkably odd. It's unpleasant stuff: it'll weaken concrete if it leaks onto it, apparently it'll damage brass and steel, and it'll leach the minerals out of your teeth, but only until the water is no longer pure enough to do so. So what people do is, as you say, add buffer minerals back into the purified water to take the edge off.

What Coca-Cola got wrong was the dosing: they put ten times the amount of buffer minerals into the water as they should have, and made it toxic. So they'd taken a perfectly safe tap-water supply and ruined it.
In my country (Switzerland), while they have massively invested in cashless solutions, a lot of places are still accepting cash, and I think it is a good thing. One of the big retailer (Coop) has self-checkout machines that accept and give back cash (you can insert 200CHF~216USD at a time if you want).

If I recollect correctly,some of Ingenuity's navigation partly relies on a down looking camera. I hope that all those "sandy ripples" they cross aren't too alike or at a frequency that matches the camera frame rate. This would lead to stroboscopic issues with judging speed and position. I'm sure though they would have the gyros, accelerometers, and maybe even radio signal strength all playing a part in the navigation exercise. It would be a great engineering project to work on.
I'd agree partially with you. However, once a remote agent is compromised, it will be chained with some privilege escalation vulnerability and this same argument will be repeated with the twist that now every foreign executable with remote connection is an attack surface.

Having hundreds of people in each location whose only task is to do a boring monitoring an very occasional management tasks is a waste of your resources and their intelligence. We do automation to escape doing stuff that we can but which are to mind numbing. The illusion that every one of those hundreds of people will do their job to the necessary level of quality and without lapses of diligence is optimistic to say the least. Doing automation badly is not a reason not to do automation at all.
Software Design: Deep Modules

Today's hot topic, TSP solvers.
The way I see it this is part of the execution, although often overlooked in favour of product-market fit.

Trying to scale an organisation by hiring when the organization is not fit for that scale is like trying to deploy a product at scale when it is not ready. Very easily you get into exponential costs due to the amount of handholding, spiraling firefighting and potentially immanent implosion in staffing caused by growing dissent.

There may be times when it is unavoidable and maybe the right choice. But it is not sustainable if not fixed and much better avoided if possible.
Ambiguous question. Everyone has those talents to some extent. Do you mean more than average? Exceptional (eg. top 1%)? More likely to have than if they had a lower IQ, or something else?
All arenarii (those who appeared in the arena) were "infames by reputation", a form of social dishonour which excluded them from most of the advantages and rights of citizenship. Payment for such appearances compounded their infamia.[174] The legal and social status of even the most popular and wealthy auctorati was thus marginal at best. They could not vote, plead in court nor leave a will; and unless they were manumitted, their lives and property belonged to their masters.[175]

Very low social status, packed together with criminals... Not even close to American athletes who definitely have social status.

These kinds of games, and the all-nighter / weeks long nightmares they cause, make me want to leave this industry. We set up software on a lot of machines and then we answer a million ridiculous user questions until we finally resort to installing remote access so we don't have to stay up all night telling people what to type into a command line. Then the remote access gets hacked en masse. I'm pretty much at the point of thinking people need to learn how to write on paper and whiteboards again. Without a well-trained work force, this shit isn't resilient, and no technical priesthood can keep it running in the face of constant attempts to demolish it. It's too brittle, and the knowledge of the user base is too shallow.

Depth can be provided by reverting to older skill sets. Fallbacks. Businesses should not go down because their computers locked up with ransomware.

I pitched and wrote some software for a company a few years ago to automate a very rigorous daily process that used to take a lot of man-hours. Occasionally, local networks would go down and people would have to revert to the old way of doing things on paper. But as turnover happened at the company, fewer and fewer people knew the "old way". Now they've reached a point where they're locally paralyzed if there's a network outage. They have to call in senior management on their day off to run the shop. I realized I didn't do them a favor. I solved one problem for them and saved them a lot of labor, but I created a whole new problem of reliance on a system that's more convenient, but much less robust than the paper system they used to have. And this doesn't even take into account the potential for security issues.

I think we should try somehow to architect things with offline fallbacks and training for those scenarios. The pace of attack is unsustainable and we're losing the war. If the point is to keep business running, we will lose the war if we lose the skill base and knowledge that we had which was capable of running the economy without a screen in front of them.

[edit] Come to think of it, there's a great startup idea in systematically re-paperizing businesses for failover. Take all that business logic that got written into software, and turn it back into a set of worksheets and training manuals.
At some point you cross the threshold of "this is too much, drone them". Or send an assassin. Yes, even the United States does this occasionally.

I'm not familiar with genetics, so speaking as a layperson here, but if there was manipulation of patient data why should we consider WIV publications to be truthful and exhaustive? If the patient data had links to unpublished bat sequences the lab was working on, it would certainly be motivation to get rid of both.

Unfortunately any claims pointing in the direction of a zoonotic transfer or lab leak is speculation at this point until serious research is done. And even then the extent of data manipulation might be so deep that drawing any conclusions might be impossible. It's an absolute disgrace that science has become so entrenched with politics that more than a year later we're still not clear on the origins of a world disrupting pandemic.

There are precisely 0 slavs alive today who trust their government or politicians. We've been fucked over by our own governments for going on nearly a century at this point, and there's no reality in which anyone other than the old and senile believes elections are anything other than a scam.

In Serbia's last elections, Vucic falsified COVID numbers on the days leading up to voting day so that his party could convince his voterbase, the elderly, to go out in droves to vote. After the election he stopped the reporting of false numbers and put the country into a lockdown because to no one's surprise, the numbers were sky high. There were massive protests because of the lockdown measures, where police brutality ran rampant, all on Vucic's orders. Expired tear gas was used on unarmed civilians protesting peacefully, cops in full riot gear were beating the crap out of unarmed protesters and chasing them down the streets. He goes around poorer regions of the country and bribes people with sandwiches and basic supplies like wheat and flower for a vote. His son is good friends with famous, high profile criminals, and Vucic himself was buddy-buddy with a bunch of the former guard, more than half of which either have been, or are currently standing trial for war crimes committed during the Yugo wars.

This list goes on and on, and similar things happen in most balkan and eastern european country. Nobody sane trusts a single thing these "people" do, and people definitely don't trust elections, so what ends up happening is that people just don't see the point in participating in an obvious scam. None of us actually believe we're living in a democracy, we're all aware it's a farcical facade that dictators put up.

200kb image doesn't block rendering, and while somewhat important, it's not the content the user came to see. 30kb might not be much, but this has to be downloaded, parsed, compiled and executed. These 30kb fight for bandwidth and CPU with other resources or even apps running on the same machine. Sometimes it's fine, but sometimes... Sometimes one component is generated only after another one has loaded, which itself depends on other components, each of which might depend on other resources. It might get pretty bad really quickly. Usage of JS when done right is fine, but it's really easy/convenient/common to do it badly.

The FOBs in Afghanistan felt like America to me. All the best years of my life were spent there. What I came back to was often unrecognizable. This feels a bit personal.

Little anecdote: Bagram is quite large, and sometimes I used to run late at night into the places where nobody goes. Well, 'nobody' is a legend of some old contractors from back before the centralized personnel tracking systems, who had set up a shantytown in the junkyard in between contracts, and eventually just 'went native' and made it their home. I can't be sure, but there seemed to be signs of life in strange places. I would have bought property and settled in myself if I could. There were a lot of men I worked with who had been completely replaced by their families, stopped taking leave, and didn't want to go back, ever. I can relate. My fiancee died during my first tour, and out there I could be fully in love with a ghost; it was like a superpower. I think I needed a few more years of that.
> I can hand you all my orgs data and 200 people who work with it everyday and it will still take you years to figure out what anything means.

Ye what are you supposed to do with the information. I worked at a place that is paranoid for data leaks of non personal data, like source code.

Even if their direct competitor got the sources they would have almost no use for it since it is an undocumented mess. The source without the dev. departments is useless.

The same applies for business strategy if it leaks. Which competitor is nimble enought to change anything based on that data.
It is a pretty good article.

The title is a bit misleading, if you interpret agile as is was described in the Agile Manifesto[0], most successful large software projects followed many of its points. And they will continue to do that.

Some organizations believe that SCRUM is agile, perhaps they are not flexible enough to understand that it really is not.

> If size = intelligence, I'd expect to …

Your understanding of “intelligence” is quite anthropo-centered, of the XXth century-office-work style…

Nothing ever _requires_ that intelligence has to express itself in a consistent/compatible way across species and their own environment.

Perhaps, for instance, some large brain species did not “evolve” as homo sapiens did, because they were more intelligent of their surroundings.
Yes. Without the details, the information says neither good or bad about the politician so what's the point of saying anything more than "I don't like him"? It's the type of fact that people repeat because it fits their prejudice and they forget that it lacks meaning. Great for talking past people with and helping no-one understand anything.
I think part of the quest is about deciding if gain-of-function research is safe and should be allowed in the future.

If it happens to be the root cause, no doubt there will be a huge change in how it is carried out, if not outright banned.

If it is proven to not be the cause, it will be easier to argue that it can be safe.
So we're about to see a rise in abductions since criminals can demand the ransom in cryptocurrency?
It will crash, predicting when is something else. I was correct in 2001 and 2008 but I was wrong in the past years as the market has been overheated for quite a while (I thought we would've crashed already) and both in stocks and recently in crypto, I have been hearing 'this is the new normal, all is different this time around'. Which is what people always say just before the carpet gets pulled.
The Chinese investment of O(millions) into building this road is likely to have a much better economic and political payoff for both China and Afghanistan than the O(billions) spent by the US on war in Afghanistan.
> The USA created a democratic government in the hopes...

Saying this is kinda insulting to actually democratic countries. Why would exactly the country with the most broken democracy feel to spread that? Did they ask for that? Did other countries ask the US to break Afghanistan the way they did?

I live far from both, and I do not really care. But bringing democracy simply sounds like a empty blanket statement that from a democratic perspective doesn't make much sense.
The Roman empire didn't have television or powered transportation that allowed millions of people across the empire to visit the capitol for a weekend. This wasn't entertainment broadcast to the entire empire, it was a single arena with a little more than 50,000 seats - the vast majority of which were allocated by social class and only accessible to the residents of the city. The only relevance the rest of the empire has is as a source of sacrifices for the bloodsport.

I'm looking at history through the eyes of basic arithmetic and logic, a skill mastered by the Greeks well before Rome was founded. Comparing 400,000 deaths among a city of 1,000,000 to 400,000 deaths in a country of 320,000,000 is ridiculous, regardless of each respective groups' motivations and moral context.

Neither IRC, nor BitTorrent have anything to do Dropbox. And both were incredibly popular back in the day
If you have a server in Chicago, and another in Denver, news of any event takes about 0.005 seconds to reach the other. Thus causality between the nodes depends on the location of the observer. If an observer half way between sees simultaneous events, both ends will see the other event happening after the local event.

Thus, physical clocks, no matter how well synchronized, will never agree everywhere.

> they were not sent to die

While I can’t speak for OP, the way I see it is that the athletes were expected to kill each other, so the wording you dispute is just semantics.

Sure, trainers wanted their slave to survive, so they could win the prize money and influence with the king. But that still means they fully acknowledged that the majority of them would die.
