I have a plex lifetime subscription and a TV tuner in the attic with an antenna that can see local TV stations. My server in the basement runs Plex and can connect to the tuner over ethernet.

I told plex to record all Olympic events and to mark the commercials. The result is still a mess, but I have everything NBC broadcasts and a "skip commercials" button pops up for all of the true commercials. I still get all the annoying talking heads and other commercial endorsements that are not commercials, but I can scan forward until the thumbnails match what I want to see. The Olympics every 4 years is one of the main reasons I justify plex.
Maybe it's a generational thing? I don't know anybody with cable or satellite, not even my parents.
Also this is the second time they've tried "communications app integrated into Windows taskbar" in just a few relatively short years. There's not a lot of evidence that this Teams "integration" will be used by people anymore than the last attempt. (Quotes around "integration" because it doesn't even seem that deep of an integration: it really just looks like a half-baked mini-client for Teams that is default pinned to the taskbar, so you don't have to open the real client some of the time. Doesn't seem like a huge "Microsoft is going to eat competitors" lunch deal to me. Anyone can build a mini-client. Maybe not everyone can get it pinned so easily.)

(The last attempt actually was a bolder attempt at integration: Windows 10 tried to add the "People bar". It didn't receive any "trojan horse" backlash because any communications app could integrate into its API, and people forgot it mostly as fast as they discovered it, if they discovered it all, because almost no one did and buggy versions of Skype was the only application most people would have installed that supported it. I still don't think Teams ever bothered to support it, but I've had no reason to check. The people bar actually was an interesting idea of an integration: the thought was you could pin people you often interact with directly to your task bar. It could be a shortcut to the various apps you use to communicate with them. You could drag and drop files to share with them and it would prompt you which app to send the message on or default to bluetooth if they were nearby. Some really interesting ideas. This "Teams integration" is a pale shadow at best, including because Windows 11 doesn't even support file drag and drop to pinned apps on the Taskbar.)
> But even relative to the total number of female players, much smaller % reaches GM.

Less women also have access to top-tier coaches and the training available to their male counter-parts.

It's not just that fewer women play - it's that there are less females in the community, in the form of role models, coaches, competition, etc.

Note that the top female in chess history (and her sisters, who are both highly accomplished chess players) were heavily coached by a decent player himself from the age of 4-onward. But how many women get that similar type of opportunity?
It appears to specifically be "Sign in with your Cable Provider." They list the providers and fuboTV is not one of them.

EDIT: I was wrong! I used "search all providers" and indeed, fuboTV was listed there, so I signed in with the credentials and it seems to work. Thanks for the nudge!
That's better than the NBC AppleTV app then which forces ads even into obscure events like Women's Weight Lifting 49kg Group B.
While true, that feels about as likely as Bavarian independence.
> "Delhi" is the Anglicised name of the city name, which in Hindi is "Dilli", so it's actually pronounced "Del-hi", hard "D", faint "h". Though it could be clipped to sound just like "deli" depending on whom you're speaking to.

To be fair to the English orthography, the English 'Delhi' doesn't come from the Hindi दिल्ली, but rather an anglicization of the Persian دهلی when the East India Company arrived, retained in modern Urdu as دہلی or 'dehli'.
Do they actually refer people to the online story, or do you just mean they are using that story to regurgitate to the viewers? I highly doubt most of the viewers are recieving the corrections if they're only given online.

Yeah, when there is breaking news it seems there's a ton of speculation and bad information given.

Everyone in the government was saying they were there. Not reporting that would be negligent. Should NYT have been faster at reporting the truth? Of course. But when the president says there are weapons of mass destruction you report as much.

The NYT retracted the story, which is pretty much all I can hope for in a situation like this.

Not an expert, but it would be nice to provide security proofs. Not a must-have thing, perhaps, but certainly nice to have. One such example of a "provably secure" hash function is this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWIFFT#:~:text=In%20cryptograp.... Unfortunately, it's quite slow, and can't be used as a "random oracle".

A lot of security proofs assume the random oracle model (but not for hash functions though, which are supposed to implement the "random oracle"). Strictly speaking, the model is incorrect, because a hash function is never a random oracle. I don't know if a suitable substitute has been found.
That's what I meant by:

What a wonderfully Machiavellian and incomplete argument, given the history of societies all the way up to today. You'll go far, kid.

Next time though, don't make the classic mistake of talking about the group by talking about individuals in the group. Society is, and this one's confusing if no one taught you this before, not the same as the sum of the behaviour of individuals in that society. They're entirely different rungs on the ladder of abstraction.

If you’re making 60k post tax and paying 3k/mo, that’s over half your income going to rent. That’s a very high percentage. There isn’t a whole lot left over for other basic expenses (food isn’t cheap), let alone saving money for the future or supporting a family.
My product is a web B2C SaaS that will be initially targeted at hobbyists/beginner/intermediate programmers, so I think getting them to believe in the product will either require a killer demo or a free tier they can play with which provides them with value.

This depends on your online presence. Even if malware touches my computer it has no access to bank accounts and the amount of personal info is low. I still have to find a better email provider than yahoo or gmail for receipts.
Even once you find the thing you want to watch, actually watching it on NBC streaming has been a miserable experience. Moving the mouse anywhere over the entire broadcast window brings up video controls along the bottom of the screen, which take 5+ seconds to fade after you stop moving. These controls are very opaque, and obscure the bottom 10th or so of the video. This tends to block things like athlete names/countries, timers, scores, etc. Ads play, but do not pause the underlying broadcast. They will interrupt commentators mid-sentence, and will return to the broadcast in the middle of actual competition (for example, they might try to sneak an ad in between Badminton points, but the ad is longer than the intra-point break).

Maybe measuring semantic density would make more sense than literal characters/words. Produce two matching texts in Japanese and English that multiple experts in both languages can agree are comparable in both meaning and relative verbosity, then divide the total number of English words by the Japanese typer's time, and you'll have a rough WPM score that can be used for more apples-to-apples comparisons.

Just by reading the abstract this seems a bit strange.

Ok, they identify some of the worst CO2 emitters and propose to start tackling those. But then their proposal is that these "lowered their emission intensities, switched to gas fuels, and incorporated carbon capture and storage systems."

Like they propose three things that still depend on fossil fuels, from which one is vague, one is something that hasn't worked anywhere although it's been proposed as a solution for more than a decade (CCS) and one that at best provides minor emisison reductions if looking at full lifecycle emissions (gas).
> In my family I had/have two people who plaid chess well (2000-2300 range) without wasting their lives in any way.

Although seemingly not so far away by sheer number, the 2000-2300 elo range is worlds apart from 2500+ (GM) levels, in terms of how much effort (and talent) is required.
I dunno. I have written FFIs in many languages and by far julia was the easiest to call a c abi in.

I would say if anything what holds people back in julia is a drive to RIIJ instead of calling the c abi (despite that julia's linalg basically does exactly that with BLAS).
There's a lot of truth in this article, and (in the marketplace of ideas) it confronts a lot of recent popular thinking that's been maybe a bit too echo chamber-y.

It's too bad it was posted on HN over the weekend (and looks like it might've fallen off the front page pretty quickly), but maybe it will get a second chance in HN primetime.

> This really leaves not much advantage for Julia against R and Python.

It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. Really the argument is the problems with dual-language model will never go away, so Python & R face an ongoing cost disadvantage in the long run. However, they are also much more mature.

So assuming previous assertion is correct, you need to get enough people interested in Julia to grow to the tipping point.

I'm not really sure it will work, but can see the argument. After all technically superior platforms for this existed when python got started (heck, early python was next to useless for data work beyond file parsing) but that didn't dissuade it's use. The non-technical arguments made it a good-enough language and once that had momentum it's compelling.

On the third hand, what julia really needs to attract right now is mostly library/package writers - that's a tiny fraction of the users of python, but basically steers "what's next". However, for library writers, how many people might use it can be a deciding factor on investing the time...
You ask to rely on evidence, and then quote a Twitter post.

It's true journalists often get things wrong. Anybody who has been part of something newsworthy, will learn that what is written is hard to recognize after the fact. Reporting "as it were" is exceptionally hard and requires in-depth research, time and efforts. But that doesn't mean pure speculation and wishful thinking weighs heavier than consensus among experts. By all means take things with grains of salt, but don't fall for con-artists and bullshitters in the name of "skepticism".
I doubt that some guys from any country outside europe, can become the ceo of some of the more prominent companies. Probably can happen in UK, but doubt that it will happen in any other country of europe, or Elon Musk in Japan, nah I don't see that happening.
> they just have some weird hangup about buying a $10 antenna and connecting it to their television.

A few years ago I tried to get OTA to watch the Oscars. This was after the 2009 digital switchover. I did some research and bought a couple different antennas, looked online so they could be directed at the intended tower. I got nothing. It may have been because the signal was blocked by a mountain, but I lived near UCLA in Los Angeles at the time.

With streaming and cable as competition there just isn't incentive on the broadcast and receiving side to set up a good enough system for a lot of people.
You literally just went from being defensive about not being thought of charitably, to denouncing a gigantic group of people as destructive sycophantic iconoclasts, in the same breath.

Astounding.

I don't think the scenario you describe is a realistic scenario within the European energy market. Prices are decided by supply and demand and the market is getting more interconnected so single points of failure become less likely.

I do wonder what happens in case there is no wind and no sun all over Europe and the demand is higher than the supply. It's probably very unlikely to happen but then countries will prioritize their own citizens (as we saw now during the covid crisis) and then we could have blackouts. I assume scenario's like these have been researched but I don't follow this subject, maybe someone else here knows?
I am not too competitive now but I was when I played soccer. I guess the with soccer the rules are set in place and the arena is standard. The aim is clear and you're there for one reason - to win.
I've been a back-end dev at one of those places. When the front-end is comprised of Android, iOS, Web, and even Windows Phone, a senior and productive back-end team can easily serve multiple front-end teams.

In my case, a back-end team of 4 owned everything "non-app" while about 10 engineers owned the various front-ends.
Referring to start-up latency, the author asserts:

> But the problem is fundamentally unsolvable, because it's built into Julia on a basic design level.

Citation need. Today, the Julia compiler runs in JIT mode. But there is nothing preventing it from being ahead-of-time compiled (indeed, some work is going behind the scenes to make this happen). There is also an interpreter for Julia. I don't see latency or large memory footprints as being "fundamentally unsolvable".
Starting arrays at 1 deeply and personally offends me as well, but I honestly can't see that as being a reason to discard a programming language TBH.

That might not be a Japan thing: in the late 1990s / 2000s the US was behind Europe (as well as many bits of first-world Asia I guess) with respect to cell phones and consumer banking. For example, free SMS messages came late to the USA. And the USA still doesn't really understand debit cards (think about all the times in the US that you hand over a debit card with a Visa symbol and the cashier says "debit or credit?"; all they do in the rest of the world is scan the fucking card and let the system figure out where the money comes from.)
Honestly NBC hasn't been good at presenting the Olympics since 1976. That's probably the last time it was worth watching!
I don't know specifically about Pakistan, but at least in India the returns on real estate are very good, especially in second-tier cities.

So many people, only so much land. Rising incomes and steady urbanization. Yada yada yada.

Also, part of it is just culture. I know that people in my parents' generation are not very comfortable investing in the stock market. Real estate is seen as a safe investment with a steady, if low, rental yield.

Japan has one of the most educated populace.

People are under-employed.

There is also the social expectation that people work hard, so it's not obvious to me if universal basic income would be well received, even by the people who would benefit from it.

Japan has access to cheap labor in neighboring southeast asian countries. Many of the workers at the convenient store are from Vietnam, Philippines, Turkey.
What I've seen is that low-salaried ops people are viewed as a substitute for capital expenditure in this environment. It strongly discourages purchasing software and even non-white box hardware. "Just have IT cobble together something open source", is the message from administration and PIs. The result is ramshackle, inefficient systems running on low bidder hardware from often dubious "HPC" resellers.

I think you are holding far too strict a definition of the word related to "transmission". If I am prevented from reading data I want to read, because some entity has decided they don't want me to read it, how is that not censorship?

Also, where are you even getting that defintion anyway? Looking up nearly every form of the word 'censor' I can think of, nothing speaks specifically to the transmission of ideas. Rather, every definition I can find that makes sense focuses on deletion.

You could even argue that anti-virus is a form of voluntary censhorship.

I predicted a strong bullmarket in stocks, crypto and gold. Stocks and crypto turned out to be true, but I invested too much in gold. So that was an unpleasant surprise.

I predicted that corona wouldn't do much for environmental concerns. This is because the incentives are wrong. If you forbid people to fly they will want to fly. Forbid drugs they want drugs. One of the most famous and anecdotal stories is the story of how the potato became accepted as a crop in Europe:
Count Dauphin, after surviving a prolonged prison stay and being sustained on solely potatoes, believed the potato was a miracle crop.

He started a marketting campaign to get farmers to grow the crop. But all the farmers he asked balked at the idea. He even tried to pay farmers to grow the crop!

The more he tried to push the crop on the farmers the more resistance he encountered.

It was hopeless. Until he thought up a cunning plan: he planted a field with potatoes and made a big show of having guards guarding his "miracle crop". The guards were secretly instructed to not catch thieves though and within a few months all the farmers in the surrounding area had a potato crop growing.

One prediction that I completely got wrong: that this pandemic would be different from the Spanish flu and that we would be in control in 6 months. The housing price bubble.

"j" is already used to represent another consonant that arguably sounds closer to Jay (not that it's supposed to specifically match how English uses the Latin alphabet, but in this case it doesn't matter). Both of these consonants could maybe have been represented by "j" since they're always used in different contexts (IIRC), but pinyin avoids writing multiple sounds in the same way.

Binance, FTX slash crypto leverage after NYT report on margin trading
Having built out infra in Japan - it was a really strange experience, esp WRT dealing with Data Centers...

There was this one data center in Tokyo that we needed to put stuff into - and we needed a GPS antenna on the roof of the DC piped down to our cage...

The DC itself was the most aesthetically beautiful DC I have been to; Bamboo forest and waterfall in the lobby, black granite everywhere, the receptionists were two beautiful women... The place was pristine in look and super super clean.

We met with the execs that ran it and they agreed to all our requests - to pull lines from the roof to our cage, etc...

But in the end, they said yes to everything, but didnt actually do anything that was requested.

It was a waste of a trip (aside from the fun we had while not doing work), but it was stunning how much work was turned down based on them saying yes, but not actually doing any of the work requested...
