Aesthetics matter to some people. I would be a little more sad if I had to plug in a chunky CCS charger rather than the relatively-small charger Teslas have now.

(To be clear, standardizing on CCS is likely a good thing and I'd support it, but, y'know … I'd be a little sadder)
The article never says this, but her husband, Paul, is a longtime investor / VC [1]. There’s obviously still a huge opportunity for leakage of information that Nancy Pelosi receives, but the trades don’t actually look suspicious nor requiring non-public information.

There was some reporting on this issue more broadly when Senator Burr seemed to place trades directly due to coronavirus information, which included Pelosi’s husband’s trades.

Edit to add: I would concur with others that we probably need to restrict trading for politicians and their family, the same way we do insiders at corporations. Index funds okay, specific stocks or perceived competition, no.

Suicide is not irrational in of itself. Facing 25-Life? Perfectly rational. Lost all your money and have no retirement? Still very rational. All you friends left you and you are completely alone to fend for yourself? Still rational.

America needs to get over itself that life needs to be lived until a natural death. Not everybody wants to further deal with the excessive burdens of life. Suicide, when not done in a spur of the moment decision, can be wholly rational. Wanting to live a garbage quality if life because society thinks it's weird to just end it to not suffer is some Catholic guilt being forced on everyone.
aka Nancy Pelosi is a good financial advisor to Paul Pelosi
Nancy Pelosi's husband is CEO of a investment firm. It shouldn't be that surprising that she tops the list for investments.

As others online have pointed out, despite an above average year, her portfolio is still underperforming an S&P 500 index fund with the dividends reinvested.

Should politicians be forced to put their assets in a blind trust while in office? Yeah, probably. But I don't think I will indict Pelosi's slightly above average year of investments as evidence of anything in particular.
I have no issue with them owning a handful of broad ETF's like the SPY. Other than that they shouldnt be placing bets on specific parts of the economy they clearly have influence over.
I know of Netflix that doesn't support Firefox for some reason (last time I tried) but what other websites don't work in Firefox? I'm using Firefox (+uBlock Origin) as my daily driver and everything seems to work fine for me.
Let's do see. Epic has a pretty hard stance on 30% being a punitive threshold for a marketplace.

Sketchfab is an enabling marketplace for creators to generate revenue on arbitrary, self-directed 3D content at crowdsourced scale. Maybe Epic pushes to 19% on those costs, but even at 12% the market effects will likely drive revenue an order of magnitude more than any fee increases could over the next few years.
An open GPU design would be great for the RaspberryPi for instance, even if performance wouldn't be competitive with NVIDIA or AMD (it really doesn't need to be). I think a "RISC-V, but for GPUs" would make a lot of sense, e.g. RISC-V met a similar scepticism in the beginning, yet it seems to quickly gain steam in the last few years.
DUST ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7sDT8jZ76VLV1u__krUutA ) is a great channel to subscribe to. It frequently has reasonably high production quality science fiction shorts.
I guess what surprises me is how nakedly unethical it is. I'm not shocked that people in positions of significant power would use that power to enrich themselves unfairly. I am shocked at how little effort they make to hide it.
Teams works great for meetings and sucks for chat and persistent chat. I never use Slack for calls, I use it for IMs.

Teams has problems with its UI, organizing teams/channels, notifying, and basic always on functions. At least every other day, Teams secretly signs me out and I’m offline until I try to do something and sign in again, just to get IMs and missed calls. That has never happened with Slack.

Also Teams/SharePoint sucks so hard for web site and doc collaboration. Search doesn’t work well and it’s hard to get users organized around content. I’d rather have a shared Word doc than a Teams site.
I think this is vastly overstated. I've done quite a bit of work for Vulkan, and have done just fine without reaching for extensions.

And how else do you propose accessing hardware features which are vendor specific?

Shouldn't HN steer clear of things like this with a political slant? She is a very divisive figure and I don't see how this sort of article makes HN better.
What percentage of people have an OnlyFans? What percentage of people get involved in the conventional porn industry? Is one much higher than the other (yes). Is the evidence rock solid? No. It rarely is, but that doesn't mean you can dismiss it out of hand.
As the other comment says, it's all about the immersion. If you're locked somewhere with no way to communicate except to learn a new language, you'll learn it pretty fast. There might be an upper age limit on learning it fluently, but I wouldn't bet on it.

If anything, adults have an advantage that they have settled down a bit and can study effectively on their own, instead of just passive and forced learning.

Of course, they still have all the temptation to just screw around, too. And if you're not actually locked to that new language, the old language is incredibly tempting.
Is the any planned integration with requirement tracking software such as DOORS? If it were possible to flow test results back into the requirement specification systems it could seriously save a lot of time and money.

Also, for commenting on procedure steps are there any additional tools available for the text formatting? We find we have to do a lot of red lining and colour coding as things progress to track deviations in a simple way for customers and PA to find.
I'd have thought with the amount of coffee grounds, leftover food and human manure from so many people, one could have turned their surrounding areas into a self sustaining green belt (with a little help from atmospheric water generation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_water_generator#....
Compared to the Google sponsorship of Go and the Amazon sponsorship of Rust, a few thousand from unknown vaporware companies isn't really a level comparison.

You didnt annualize the returns. Its possibly over 1000%.

Gotta love financially illiterate HN. He made over 100% on the trade in something like 1 month. 100% * 12 is over 1000%

I like the completions of Sublime text a lot better for most tasks. ST’s packages are also really powerful and BBEDit isn’t extensible in the same ways (though it is through AppleScript and a host of other things).

After the 30-day “trial” is up, the features in its free version are more than worth keeping it installed for. I keep an active license for it in addition to Sublime Text because it’s my preferred tool for complicated RegEx things and multi-file search.

> no conscious thoughts

That's not mindfulness. I don't know what it's called; it sounds like some kind of auto-fascism.

Noticing thoughts, and noticing that you've been distracted, IS the practice. Everyone has the running dialogue, all the time. One remarkable thing about mindfulness is the way it shows just how fast that dialogue runs. I had no idea that it was possible for me to have 30 thoughts in a couple of seconds.

The practice is really Noticing.
Isn't "inside knowledge of upcoming new laws" a kind of non public information?
They are great choices, it's a generous and interesting form of charity. The focus on civility is a strange demand from the guy who has his workers peeing in bottles, but ok, I guess you need to stand for something at some point in the face of criticism.

Will this counterbalance the negative responses of the last few days? Probably not, the criticisms about the power wealthy individuals wield in society aren't affected, but it's a well timed gesture of good faith and the recipients are well chosen.
"Easy" is important for someone to start playing around with something, to initially hook the user (the developer in this case).

But for professionals who spend a lot of time with the same tool, "simple" is more important in the long run.
This appears to be the licence for the documentation on the wire protocol, not the actual wire protocol itself. That would be essentially a part of MongoDB itself, or likely as the Google vs Oracle case decided, not something that can be licenced.

At least that's my understanding. Am I missing something here? It's fairly reasonable for a company to licence their docs with a non-commercial licence like this.

I respect that. But I would contend that these people made something, learned something, and published their findings. Even if it is all goofy and of no immediate practical value, I wouldn't call it a waste.
We've had performance issues with cloud Jira / Bitbucket the last couple months. Doing simple merges can take 2 minutes in the background. I encounter 5-10 second slow downs multiple times a week with other parts of the UI. GitHub is instantaneous in comparison.
So there is no freedom for anyone dependent on their wages.

Doesn't sound like a freedom at all.
Bullshit. You can make guesses about the future, but since that is going to inevitably change, it's a guess and can never be anything but a guess. At most companies, the scope is going to be radically expanded and looking too far in the future is a complete waste of time.

Other people in other fields are held accountable for deadlines because their work does not completely change and is not severely under-specified. If it is, then they are also just guessing.
It looks like she bought apple, amazon and nvidia. Not exactly obscure bets.
That too could be a valid analogy if "randomly grab one in each hand" isn't actually random, but only appears random. This would be analogous to superdeterminism.
Wait until you have a rare disease before you say something like you want AI help diagnose you (or make decisions about your healthcare for that matter—the US is going to be a mess if they go this route). 7% of the general population collectively has a rare disease, so it’s not uncommon to have a rare disease. Most of them are classified as very rare.

I personally have 2 rare diseases affecting my peripheral nervous system, and one of them is very rare. The very rare disease is believed to have also caused my type 1 diabetes.

The wild part? The very rare disease, which I had prior to my type 1 diabetes diagnosis, which was also undiagnosed at the time, was blamed as “type 1 diabetes related complications” specifically autonomic neuropathy by human doctors.

Do you think AI would get this right? The answer is an obvious no.

Also, I am in my early 30s. My endocrinologist was surprised that I was 30 and was making a big deal about it (as in “you survived and you shouldn’t be alive” sense). It was never statistically likely that I would be alive, which is why AI should never be used.

So do you think AI should be making health decisions in a healthcare system that already has a ton of human error, and is trained on those errors?

I mean, the third leading cause of death in the US is believed to be preventable medical errors: https://www.bmj.com/content/353/bmj.i2139

> I agree, I'm not suggesting a name change at all.

I was kinda responding to an ancestor comment with that statement.

> Bad colors. Bad shapes. Idk. It looks old, probably because it is. But plenty of old companies have modernized their logos in a pleasant way.

Modernization is often a regression. Looking at the icons in my apps folder, there are way too many seemingly standard-size circles differentiated by a little color or a less-prominent icon, and most of the rest are a standard-size squares with similar characteristics. It's like if the alphabet was all O's, but with different colors and small diacritics. IMHO, "modern" UIs tend far too much towards indistinguishably in order to achieve a "unified" look, which looks good in a quick demo but is detrimental to daily use.

However, the ultimate mistake is Apple's, for creating a text-free dock that makes the icons do too much work. And of course, Apple's mistakes must be copied by everyone else, because they're so good at marketing (I'm looking at you, Microsoft).
Interesting that DelBene is also so high on the list but not really mentioned at all

This feels restrictive, especially in comparison to Postgresql. Where you have projects like CockroachDB which utilize the Postgresql wire protocol because of how well documented it is.
An extension consists of a thin content script loaded into each page that exchanges messages with a long-running background script. Normally you'd make the content script as thin as possible and make the background script do the real work.

The country was founded by people who thought taxation without representation was worth fighting a war over, but also thought it completely obvious that they didn't mean representation for poor people (imagine! Poor people with a say in government!), so denied them the franchise. And of course there was the whole thing where it was legal for some folks to own other folks.

But taxation (of rich people) without representation (for rich people)? Oh, intolerable! Better go to war over that injustice. Pay some poor people to kill each other over it (then forget to pay the bill, naturally).

250ish years later and rich people only de facto run the government, rather than de jure. Progress, I suppose.
Wonder if it can be made to work as nicely as TextMate for ruby/rails work.
The way it is done at Tesla stations at the moment in Norway is that a third party like Fortum provides chargers for non-Tesla vehicles and they have their own pricing and payment

Some people are just generally unhappy. They have been for decades. At that point why would they want to continue? After 30 years of unhappiness one day they'll wake up happy?

This is mostly her husband's trading, which probably constitutes somewhat of a loophole in the legislation controlling stock purchases by members of congress. Still, the transactions were reported as required, and trading based on insider knowledge is illegal, so he would be subject to prosecution if that's what he was doing.

The optics are bad, for sure.

The Inevitable Weaponization of App Data Is Here
Crystal is like Ruby but not dynamic, with macros, without reflection, with arbitrary API changes to the core types that are shared, with value/reference type dichotomy, compiled, and faster.

Or, with apologies to the late Douglas Addams, Crystal is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike Ruby.

> Other people are pointing out that Joshua doxxed Francesca using priveleged information from their Disqus platform.

He also seems to have done this in retaliation towards legitimate commentary and criticism of a Nieman Lab article. If there's anything that makes his behavior especially reprehensible, surely this must be it. And this also implies that her lawsuit might actually have some merit to it.
No idea why you're getting downvoted when this is literally what they did. They had laws and then quickly bypassed it.
I do think there's dirty play here, but I think you can't realistically prevent the ownership of equity instruments by politicians. You could demand they be held in blind trusts; you could demand they be able to be long-only on broad-based mutual funds; you could make demands that they announce their trades 3 trading days before enacting them.

I think you can't realistically (and shouldn't) block them from owning equities entirely though.

You don't need to block them having anything to do with the stock market; you just need to eliminate the presence and appearance of dirty play.
That’s not the same you are still considered as working in the US. You just happen to be staying in a foreign country.
Word is worse but still the standard application in most companies.
In general, modern constraint programming solvers runs the propagators for the constraints until fixpoint. The level of propagation for a constraint is typically chosen by the modeler, and is typically one of domain consistency, bounds consistency, or simple value propagation. No real world competitive CP solvers use the types of algorithms you mention for the whole problem, since constraints are given in intention (a+b<=c, all_different(x1, …, xn), …), not extension (list of valid tuples).

With that said, sometimes shaving (also called singleton arc consistency) is used, by testing all literal assignments and pruning those that directly give failure. See https://www.inf.tu-dresden.de/content/institutes/ki/cl/study... for an application of this to Sudoku
But that applies to everything.

It's the same argument as "how dare you keep a bank balance while people are starving in the world?".

You have no obligation to spend your own money based on other people's preference, and if you do then you'd better keep yourself to that standard. Some do, but extremely few.

You could probably give more money to GiveWell than you do, and save lives, and still live your lifestyle. But you don't.

It's a difference in degree, but not in kind.

> I don’t understand why deps was needed

First, start here: https://clojure.org/about/rationale

Then Deps and CLI is explained here: https://clojure.org/reference/deps_and_cli

As always, depends. Building a project in a rush? Use whatever you're most comfortable with and have the most experience. Want to further your understanding of Clojure the ecosystem? Dig into Deps & co.

> I’ll just stick to cutting and pasting onto my leiningen config I think

Yeah, if that's your general approach to development, use whatever you already know. Once you're ready to understand the tools you depend on, then you can start looking into tools that was built with some more thought behind them, like Deps.
Wow, look at the chart for how much ad blockers improve webpage performance for The Independent and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. What absolute piles of shit they serve us and expect us to happily suck down for such meager morsels of content! This makes me 100% want them to fail even harder. Journalism hitched itself to a stupid advertising model that serves no one well and the proof couldn't be more stark.
Yeah if you work a W-2 job and the company is making tax deductions from your paycheck, your taxes are pretty simple. If you have a mortgage, you can deduct the interest. I think most people are in this category. Taxes just start getting complicated proportionate to the creative compensation some jobs offer - deferred stock purchase programs, etc., - or if you have some complicated deduction or third-party income sources.
I would recommend watching some of the talks from around the time Vulkan was announced. The API was released very much in response to developer demand to just give them access to the GPU in an unopinionated way, and largely it has delivered on that promise.
>I personally don't care that these billionaires are spending their money on vacations to orbit. It's how we get to the moon and Mars and how we survive as a species.

Really? Which billionaires personally funded the Apollo program? The progress of our species shouldn't have to rely on the fickle preferences of one person, their enormous wealth should be taxed and the money should be used for programs like NASA and its benefits which help all of us.
That's way more interesting than hearing that Nancy Pelosi had a good quarter. I'd be curious what the mean and median are. I can easily imagine a few key trades netting huge returns that skew the curve.
Her husband is making these trades and he’s a longtime active investor and VC.
You can't really do that with the Olympics though as there is a hard deadline. Once you have a fixed date then either quality or cost are going to have to give.

"This is pretty incredible, for an average return of her stocks and options is 56.15%. The S&P, with its raucous best performing year, is only up 36% from last June"

> instead make it ongoing OpEx

Every non-tech startup founder who's approached me with "how long will it take to build an MVP for my startup idea?", I've answered with this. Development is an ongoing cost, a process, not a once-off capex cost.

I recommend to them going the other way. Start with "how much can you afford to pay a dev team sustainably?" then work out how many devs that works out to, then work out how long your MVP will take to build based on their estimates (and estimates are not deadlines).

Not quite the same as #no_estimates (which I also try to argue for whenever possible), but close.
Cargo culting is basically doing something you don't understand, hoping that it'll accomplish your goals.

You can see this heavily in the Clojure community, at least in the hn/reddit/slack circles. It gets annoying seeing others think they have some kind of superpower because they use Clojure. I blame Rich Hickey videos since they are heavily in the style of a good salesman.
