From my POV, Rust is already a bad decision for the same reason Linus was against C++. There's a continuous trade off against complexity and this is just such a huge addition to what was already a behemoth. I think Linus nowadays is a lot less strict in imposing his own rigor and engineering esthetics than he used to be.

It's probably been a long time since he was trying to steer the project to his standard of perfection, he gave up on that. Like he grew apart from it, life got in the way, and steering Linux is now more of a job than anything else.

What I'm saying is, 2004's Linus would have never allowed Rust into the kernel.

This is playing out in a lot of Western countries. Canada, NZ, Australia...

Can't speak for those but housing is seen as an investment in the UK too. Everyone wants their house prices to go up, to get a return on having a place to live. The government won't lift a finger because they also have their money in property, as does the electorate that keeps voting them in. Advocating for any kind of regulation or intervention would be sheer political suicide.

The generation that has enjoyed affordable housing the most has been making short work of pulling up that ladder behind them.
The example gradient isn't supposed to be a representation of the spectrum, it's just smooth interpolation between three arbitrary colours.

Have a look at the Oklab article I linked - the human perception of the brightness of the spectrum is very uneven. The point of this tool is to correct that unevenness, when interpolating between colours.

Ultimately, CSS is really just about what looks good, so if you think one style of gradient looks aesthetically better than another, I can't argue with that.
Heat pump models usually have a resistive element for use when the heat pump can't keep up, or when the climate doesn't cooperate. Then you benefit from the efficiency whenever possible. (Here in coastal CA I have mine set to only ever use the heat pump since the climate is so mild.)

The up-front cost of a heat pump is definitely an issue. IMO we should be doing instant rebates to even out the cost between the two so that it's an easy decision.

That does not mean that if your kids are not upset, you are doing something wrong.

That does not mean you have to design those situations regularly. You dont need to upset your kids. It does not mean upset is something that you as parent should always welcome or ignore.
All I've heard for the past 12+ years is "engagement". The singular focus on that one word to the exclusion of everything else is astounding to me. As if it is some magic incantation on the part of BizDev (or whatever they're called these days) that instantly transmogrifies users into profits.

At one company I worked at, we had a digital product that was part of a suite of services our company provided. It was useful to our customers but it's clear, if you see it, that they want to get in, get done what they need to do, and get out. It's a tool to help them do their jobs and nothing more.

You'd think that simplicity and efficiency would be celebrated. The number of times I heard "engagement" and "gamification" used about that product from the marketing team, however...

Finally I said, "Look. We shouldn't be trying to make our customers spend more time in this product any more than LG does trying to get us to spend more time in our refrigerators." It fell on deaf ears.

I should note that, we didn't make any more money the longer someone spent on that product. There was no advertising model associated with it--it is a per-seat hosted solution. So I never could figure out why our marketing team was all about engagement other than they kept hearing that word said about other digital products and, so, naturally it applies to ours as well and we must do what everyone else is doing!
SpaceX has nothing to do with this. Their rocket has zero demonstrated capability for this mission.
Unfortunate that it doesn't allow you to get back to zero.

The orbit needs to be actively maintained. The telescope was designed for a 5.5 year mission, but NASA says it could last up to 10.5 years with proper fuel management. It has two different types of thrusters under the "Propulsion Subsystem".

> One kind is called "Secondary Combustion Augmented Thrusters" (SCAT), and they are used for orbit correction (like applied changes in velocity for each maneuver the spacecraft makes and also for orbit station-keeping). The SCATs are bi-propellant thrusters, using hydrazine (N2H4) and dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) as fuel and oxidizer, respectively.

> The other kind of thruster on Webb is called a MRE-1, or mono-propellant rocket engine, since it only uses hydrazine. There are eight MRE-1s on Webb, and they are used for attitude control and momentum unloading of the reaction wheels

This is what Private Relay changes. They're not choosing to be suspicious. Right now, if you're eligible, you're opted in by default. So you end up either deciding that mac/ios users are suspicious by default, or you need to redefine suspicious.
What is that based on? How do you distinguish launch systems that just don't work well? Everything works in the end? That would make engineering much easier and less stressful!
Honestly I wonder how much of it is just peoples own personalized recommendations and how much of it is general recommendations.

I have a hard rule not to use YouTube for any sort of news or politics, and the algorithm accommodates that very well. I’m sure if I created a new account, it would start off recommending me whatever BS is popular across YouTube at the time of creation, but if I used it exactly like I use my current account, I think the algorithm would accommodate that. I actually like YouTube, which seems to be an unpopular opinion in some places.

The only thing I can’t seem to get rid of, permanently, are the stupid banners of videos that YouTube adds in about COVID, or at the time of the election, that crap, and some other nonsense. I mean if I keep clicking the X to get that out of my face, isn’t that a strong signal I never want to see that crap or any of those topics again?

That’s true. I concede my point.
Those aren't free in most libraries I've been to and don't apply to everything (don't quote me on this, but since journals are basically subscription services, their articles aren't actually owned by the library and they might not be able to loan them out further).
Book Review: Andy Slavitt’s Preventable
So many supposedly principled free-market libertarians and conservatives tying themselves in knots so that Trump can continue to push his lies. The american conservative movement, like nationalists everywhere, have no principles bedsides power. And with the new permanent conservative judiciary there are many victories in their future. Our democracy is in peril but if you look at places like Russia and China they seem stable enough, maybe the death of the American world order won't be so bad.
I'm in favor of regulated monopolies under some circumstances but making Facebook or any information-filter-platform into regulated monopoly sounds nightmarish. I'd sort of trust the US government, at its best, to do some things. But I would never trust any state regulate content filtering.

Beyond that, making sure it's always possible to host content on the Internet would be the most reasonable way guarantee free speech. And content filters would have competition this way as a content filter is a kind of content.
It's understood that it "can" work - but we don't see it actually working / harming in the medium/long term. It's the same way cornering the market "can" work, but doesn't really happen.
To add to this, if the column_mapping is not provided we try to parse data automatically assuming that the schema is standard (e.g. you use the column names like "target" and "prediction") We also process the features based on pandas data type. In future to want to make it super easy to avoid writing extra configuration so we will try to parse as much as possible, but of course give the user the opportunity to override.
Nice simulator.

You are considering the entire cost of developing the JWST. Surely the cost of building another based on the finished design would be lower.

The problem from Trump's perspective is that he was getting a ton of engagement from non-followers and he wants that level of engagement back.
Cameras capture more than heads. A topless child very well can be scandalous, especially if they are female. And it is only going to capture the head if the person is sitting in a normal position in front of their computer. If it scans outside of that setting, then you can capture their whole room.

You're assuming that the system works perfectly. You're on Hacker News! We have articles every day of major companies being hacked and/or having systems not work as expected and failing in grandiose ways. Now add minors into that situation. Pictures on minors. If that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable then I'm uncomfortable.

Putting more cameras in kids rooms are not doing anything to protect them (especially when those cameras are connected to the internet). It just makes child exploitation easier.

Not sure about the other clouds, but GCP is just atrocious for this with both of their offerings.

App Engine, seems to be no longer developed, and is considered “old” technology, it works, but its hard to do more enterprisy stuff, like virtual private cloud (VPC) with it. For example you can configure it to be able to access a VPC, but you cannot put it “inside” the VPC so others services can interact with it.

Cloudrun seems to be the new hot thing, and it works too, seems to be made using kubernetes itself, so promises future development and integration. However there is a tiny flaw in the system, berried in a fine print in an obscure doc page. Cloudrun severely throttles cpus on any containers that are not currently processing an http request. So you cannot build anything that is long running - kafka consumers, batch processes etc. What you are supposed to do is delve head first into the whole of GCPs ecosystem and embrace their queues, message brokers, and event sourcing systems (as they’re all http request based), woe to the ones that have to interact with tech thats outside of it.

The point of sitting in a lagrange point is that you can stay there without moving due to two gravitational forces. That's not perfectly accurate, but I don't think it needs constant thrust, just occasional taps.
Yeah, seems so to me. Add it to the list.

We do exclusively use work-sample hiring at Fly.io right now, though it looks a lot different from Starfighter (Microcorruption, Starfighter's predecessor, also wasn't the work sample we used at Matasano; both Starfighter and Microcorruption were about outreach). It'd be neat to come up with something Starfighter-y/Microcorruption-y that meshed with what we're doing at Fly.io.

(I don't want to get too far off on a tangent here, though, because I also nerd out about market structure stuff and that's what the thread is about.)

The difference was that in the past, IE didn't follow standards and tried to take away the web from standards based browsers. And now, it's Safari that is lagging on the standards - not so much that Chrome is adding non-standard features, it's that Safari is refusing to adopt them in a timely basis.
Porsche is not private, it is a subsidiary of Volkswagen which is a publicly traded company. Porsche has 3B euro of profit per year, per Wikipedia, and I would guess it is worth far less than $46B if it were to be sold today since they seem to have stagnated.

I do not know what Ferrari has to do with Porsche.

If your question is why is the outstanding number of shares of Tesla multiplied by the most recent share price of Tesla equal to $x, then there are multiple answers.

The simplest is because someone decided they wanted to buy the most recent share of Tesla at $y. The slightly more complicated one is that that person decided that buying that share was a better use of their money than whatever other alternative they had. The most complicated answer is going to be that many actors in the market are betting Tesla is going to “grow” by market share or new technologies over some nebulous amount of time, and that given all the investment options, people are allocating that amount to Tesla compared to others.

Oh, I'm not saying it's rational. I'm pointing out that it's the current state of the neoliberal economic consensus. Companies can determine and who and what to amplify or block because Free Market fundamentalism outweighs human rights concerns, globally.

> the façade of a private company being allowed to shut you down is somehow rational is nothing beyond absurd

Indeed, it is, but that's where we are.

> a mob disapproves

In this case, it's not a mob. It's a handful of people who care more about making money than upholding rights.

> there is no free speech, just what is culturally acceptable.

"Yet if all cannot be of one mind—as who looks they should be?—this doubtless is more wholesome, more prudent, and more Christian, that many be tolerated, rather than all compelled. I mean not tolerated popery, and open superstition, which, as it extirpates all religions and civil supremacies, so itself should be extirpate" - John Milton, "Areopagitica: A Speech for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing to the Parliament of England", 1644 https://www.gutenberg.org/files/608/608-h/608-h.htm

Free speech has always been constrained by what is culturally acceptable.

"Cargo cult marketing"?
3D Secure trains customers to type their bank login into popups!

It shifts fraud loss liability onto the customer who is even less prepared to deal with it than the merchant. Only a few merchants tried it like Newegg.com. It flopped because the hit to conversion was more than the fraud prevention. It usually fails open (allows transaction to proceed). Merchant side fraud detection is inherently inferior to the bank doing fraud filtering, but banks don't care. Not their liability not their problem.

This article doesn't even mention how horrible the implementation is, too. It didn't merge your conversations with a person into a single thread across Facebook Messenger and Instagram. Instead it created 4 permutations of threads with a person.

* Your Messenger + Friend's Messenger

* Your Instagram + Friend's Instagram

* Your Messenger + Friend's Instagram

* Your Instagram + Friend's Messenger

Each of these conversations will result in a new, separate thread, even if your Facebook and Instagram accounts are linked. It's such a mess.
I'm not so much interested in investing at all, but I'm fascinated by market structure details like these; it's like an Internet of money. It has extreme nerd value, regardless of its utility for profit seeking. :)

Also, the details in this article are implicated in all sorts of HN threads, so it's useful to have a place to link to when people start debating how market makers work or things like that.

If iPad is the hip flask, the smartphone is the needle and TikTok the heroin.

I sometimes wish I had gone without the internet the past 10 years. Emotionally I can no longer quite feel it due to many small increments of change, but intellectually I know the culture shock would be massive today.

So much activity is generated and has converged on so few platforms, most of it passive consumption. Communication is quick and fleeting, the feeds reign. The search engines full of subtle forms of (blog)spam I'm increasingly having trouble identifying. No distinction between off- and online anymore. (There's always exceptions)

The knowledge of who does what when is centralized in black box institutions with massive conflict of interest to reveal anything about it, so nobody outside really knows what's going on. All we can see are the shadows on the wall.

Business is failing to self-align with (what I and apparently this Googler think are) civic/enlightenment values and societies were hit by this like a truck out of nowhere and they're still playing catch-up, trying to make sense of it.

And meanwhile so many brains will be rewired.. We haven't seen the end of whatever this is yet.

Make the REPL ergonomic enough and it will crush any notebook interface. I think that's one reason why R users barely use Jupyter at all - RStudio's REPL is better than most of the out-of-the-box Python REPLs so R users don't have to resort to Jupyter (and there's rmarkdown for the rare cases when notebooks actually make sense).
Retail margins are already extremely thin at ~2%. However, the public markets allowed AMZN to maintain at 0% or even slightly negative because the market (correctly) believed the group of people at Amazon were doing something innovative.

The market could have chosen Walmart, or Target or Home Depot too, but they did not (correctly) because the chances of the people working at those companies coming out with something like AWS is insufficient.

Amazon is a poor company to use as an example for one that dumps their product at below cost in hopes of gaining market share.
