Yes indeed. Most of the article is quoted from Smith, and Gelman (the prolific author of the worthwhile blog at columbia.edu) only really adds a few inconclusive sentences at the end. ("... There’s a lot going on, and people have lots of reasons for doing things.")
That's actually a good anti-diversity argument (not saying that's necessarily your intent). Japan is another, similar example re: "solving what you call basic problems".
They now have nearly a full line of "conventional" looking cars — S, 3, X, Y, Roadster — that are still years ahead of the competition. Cybertruck may be risky as an individual product, but the future of the company isn't on the line. On the other hand, if it's successful it only further distances Tesla from other manufacturers.
Could you point us to a resource where we can read more about this? Perhaps a source pointing to data being covered up?
That’s not what the article says. Instead, it specified that costs increased and the state didn’t build new subsidized housing units to keep up with increasing demand.

So how much more money does Utah need to spend to really solve its problem?
>Some of the names are completely uninformative though

Does Microsoft make you think computer OS? Does Apple make you think of computers and personal devices? Do common names Alexa/Siri mean anything specific to you?

None of the words used in those examples have anything to do with what they do, but they are now synonymous with everything you think of when those words are spoken/written. That's because the companies have spent time developing them as brands. AMZN through AWS has just come up with names so that they can be discussed more easily. They haven't really spent time with ad agencies running lifestyle campaigns for them.

I also think it falls into "I don't use something enough to fully remember what it does". However, is anyone reading this really not aware of what S3 does? EC2? Those are the basics where pretty much anyone starts with. Sure, not everyone will need EKS and it becomes more esoteric, but people that do it day-to-day know exactly what EKS is.
what's the general sentiment about homeless in the population ? is it more like "chase them out, i dont care" or "we would like to do something but nothing ever happens" ?
Does human generosity scale though? I’m not so sure. Because we’re also living in a time of human hunger, human thirst, and human displacement previously unimaginable. The generosity doesn’t seem able to keep pace.
The causes of homelessness may be different in SF vs. Finland. Mental health & drug addiction are common problems among long-term homeless in the US. Resolving homelessness requires better solutions to those issues as well.
I mean this is a terrible investment no matter what. 3% interest that, let's be honest, there's serious doubt as to whether you'll actually see? From an investment standpoint it's the lowest of junk bonds without a particularly high interest rate either.

There's a million things with both better upside and safety.
Maybe in Quebec they are, but in France, there’s tons of English. You may find yourself shopping at “The Market” grocery store where you can buy “Daddy Sugar” sugar or my favourite cleaning brand: “Okay”.

Big movie releases will often be available for watching dubbed or in English with French subtitles because enough people prefer that.

Studying another language is compulsory (and often English, but that often doesn’t mean much).
One of my pet grievances is how love is portrayed. If you were to believe movies, you can get ANY woman if you're persistent enough. Then poor young boys and men set out in the world showering someone else in gifts and attention. Girls with narcissistic tendencies become more, more and more narcissistic and entitled.

Another very damaging myth is that kung fu will save you from muggers. Muggers may have no objections to stabbing you, and if they attack they often attack from surprise. Or really, that a fight looks anything like in a martial arts movie. Go watch a fight in a Karate or Judo championship. It's quite boring, contestants are quite evenly matched and move with respect to each other.
? If healthcare/benefits is provided by the government from taxes outside of your job then it doesn’t matter if you have a full/part time job?
Unions have also historically been pretty racist--explicitly excluding anyone who wasn't a white male. That's probably less the case today, but they're still dominated by white, socially conservative men.
The Internet Made Crime Public. That's When Things Got Complicated
Market Study on Engineers
There were apparently some hidden photos on Tesla's site of the car with a normal steering wheel...

https://www.thedrive.com/tech/38976/tesla-site-code-shows-th...

The trick was to replace $STOY with $ST03 in this url, but it appears Tesla blocked that:

On the other hand, you cannot force people into the wards unless they pose grave danger to themselves or the society.

And the current sentiment is that yelling slurs or urinating in a subway is not grave enough to justify involuntary confinement.
Are you referring to this?

"The thing about making general tools is that marketing is harder and you need to build narratives about how the general thing is specifically useful"
Most of their team seems to have been involved in the RMS witchhunt, despite RMS being one of their vocal supporters. Did they have nothing better to do?
that's ignoring the overwhelming likelihood that rents (and inflation) will rise to gobble up that extra $1k/mo, and then you're back at square one, but now locked into being another $1k behind, and the wealthy landlords (like reits and hedge funds) will have an extra $1k from every renter in the state.
>Meanwhile, if I suggested doing housing for all, healthcare for all, etc on an island with only 2000 people, you’d tell me that was too few people and you can’t do it that way.

No?
I remember using this years ago on DamnSmallLinux. Thanks for the nostalgia!
unfamiliarity of culture and language probably plays a big role compared to the US, where everything is available in English by default. A large amount of Finns speak English, but then that would require a person moving there to also speak English well, which I wouldn't say is a given.

Also, compared to the moderate Mediterranean climate of, say, SF, Finland has very harsh winters, which would make it very unattractive for sleeping outdoors.
> Why is every player connection getting a dedicated port?

They probably using TCP transport protocol, or something similar. A better way would be a custom UDP-based protocol. With UDP, with enough resources on the server they could have supported millions of concurrent users connected to a single server.

I don’t have recent experience with such things but at the first sight UDT and QUIC protocols look OK.

> In every CRUD app I’ve seen, access to the data store is done by a public facing intermediary that listens on one port.

I agree, but their application ain’t a CRUD app. It’s a competitive videogame.

Game developers are often cutting corners to save development and infrastructure costs. And for another reason too, to minimize network latency. While 10G/100G Ethernet is very fast in modern data centers, every network hop still adds twice the latency. CRUD apps don’t care too much as long as it’s smaller than 50-100ms. For a game you’d want as fast as possible, ideally under 16.6ms roundtrip (one video frame on a 60Hz display).
We do all of those things! Medicaid, Section 8, SNAP, SSDI, etc.
If you're homeless and unemployed it sure would make a hell of a difference.

If you're stuck working three shitty part-time jobs that refuse to give you enough hours to get anywhere near crossing the threshold where they have to start paying insurance, it'd make a hell of a difference.

Even if it's "permanent" people with any degree of forethought at all would act differently, because it ain't gonna be "permanent" until the Republicans stop trying to tear it down in the interest of having a permanently unstable workforce that's easy to force into shitty, underpaying jobs with the threat of homelessness.
I love how simply framing a concept that 99.9% of the population is ok with in Marxist language is supposed to make people recoil in horror.

If you want to call it exploitation than call it exploitation. I'm fine with exploitation if the definition of exploitation is "jobs"
Funny enough I just recently went to training that demonstrated how hand-over-hand steering is a requirement for effective skid recovery.

I never thought I would abandon thoughts of owning a car based solely on the steering wheel, but as I live in a place where it snows....I was wrong.
Fire up the printers, lads!
Federal law still supercedes this. This is especially the case with disability laws.

Look at right to work states where you can be fired for any reason. It’s still illegal to fire on the basis of disability.
We have had a sort of UBI with the pandemic and a sizable portion of people have chosen not to work. I think if you have healthcare, your rent paid for, and free food then there could be 15 to 30% of the population that will just watch Netflix and hang out all day. It’s enough to erode support for the entire program.
If you learned driving stick then you steer a bit differently anyway because you can’t rely on having both hands the entire time.

I tend to cross over going both directions now. For a turn the right hand goes to 10:30 or the left hand to 1:30. Depending on power steering, I may complete the turn with the butt of my hand, in which case the yolk is probably just short enough so that if my hand slips at all I would lose contact. There’s just not enough buffer to be comfortable.

More importantly, as I accelerate out of a turn I tend to let the wheel slip through my fingers, driven by centripetal force. It’s a smoother line with better lateral G forces for my passengers, and better tire grip.

I’ll be really interested to see if their drive by wire system breaks that, too.
>And if your problem is that you just don't like acronyms, you probably picked the wrong industry.

Maybe they should try the military? I hear they only use acronyms occasionally!
An important difference is that Helsinki regularly has temperatures down to -7°C or 19.4°F in the winter, on average. While you can live in tents at those temperatures, given well insulated sleeping bags and clothes, it's not exactly comfortable. And for people with drug or mental issues it can be deadly, say, if they're too far gone to take the proper precautions. Meanwhile San Fran winter temps are as far as I can see about 14°C or 52.2°F on average. But yeah, if the cost you're indicating is true, then it's completely outrageous. Though it's not the first time I've heard about high costs involved with social cases in the West. I suspect some of it is political, but some might also be due to simple profiteering since these people doesn't exactly present a strong political lobby themselves.
Most people here on HN could do the same for their kids once their kids are adults.
Await Promise !== Coroutine
How’s his logic wrong? He says a paragraph (1-3 minutes) is stretched to 10. This is true because of the ads. YouTubers talk about this all the time, that 10 minutes is the minimum for a video because the algorithm dictates that. It’s more views more money because Youtube won’t promote a 3 minute video.
So I don't make a billion bucks a year, but I'd be completely comfortable throwing a few grand at Purism.

If I check the "yeah I'm cool" box even though the SEC wouldn't think I'm cool, am I just forfeiting some sort of recourse if Purism flops and I lose my money? Or am I opening myself up to getting in serious trouble?

(Likewise, I want to invest in Aptera but I don't know anything about this. I feel like the main thing it'll accomplish is making my taxes more complicated, which at my level is a huge step in complexity and cost for a minuscule step in returns.)
I don’t think your theory is correct that Apple made their products worse on purpose. Hanlon’s Razor suggests it was simply Apple trying something new that didn’t turn out to be an improvement, and them taking some time to accept that internally and decide how to right the situation.

Intentionally hampering their products as a marketing stunt sounds like an awfully far fetched theory for the most valuable brand in the world with one of the most effective marketing teams.
Airbag safety seems to be worse with a yoke compared to a wheel. The yoke essentially forces you to cross over your arms for some turns, putting your forearm in the way of the airbag, and you don’t want the airbag smashing your arm into your face. Of course, with a wheel you can slide your hands on each side of the wheel, never crossing them over unless you choose to.
> Most people still believe in a hierarchy of people

This is a broad generalization and it varies widely by culture.

Some people believe that all work is important.
> where landlords will happily put up a schizophrenic guy with a meth addiction.

Isn't this a discrimination under the Fair Housing Act? My understanding is that both mental illness and drug addiction can constitute a disability.
Generally finns want and expect the government to offer everyone in need free housing. When this does not happen everyone is surprised.
Got the benchmarks working with a hardcoded 4-byte int pdqsort. pdqsort is of course faster, but this doesn't tell us anything about how good fluxsort really is because it doesn't inline the comparison (I've removed __attribute__ ((noinline)) and comparisons++ as bench.c suggests, which improves the speed but doesn't inline it).

| Name | Items | Type | Best | Average | Loops | Samples | Distribution |
| --------- | -------- | ---- | -------- | -------- | --------- | ------- | ---------------- |
| qsort | 100000 | 32 | 0.013530 | 0.013901 | 1 | 10 | random order |
| fluxsort | 100000 | 32 | 0.004837 | 0.005009 | 1 | 10 | random order |
| pdqsort | 100000 | 32 | 0.003661 | 0.003745 | 1 | 10 | random order |

Your graph doesn't show how fast pdqsort orders 4-byte integers. It shows how fast it orders them when required to use a comparison function, which is an arbitrary restriction and not what pdqsort is designed for.
A few more oddballs come to mind:

iCab was a favorite of mine before the switch from Classic Mac OS to Mac OS X. I made heavy use of its ability to save offline copies of open web pages (with all embedded resources).
http://www.icab.de

OmniWeb, on Mac OS X was very pretty for its time. (It was originally developed on OpenStep.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OmniWeb

NetPositive was bundled with BeOS. I only used it briefly.

> I guess this is the difference between a literal v. figurative interpretation of the title. The article itself is speaking to Amazon's efforts to sustain its hiring pipeline in the face of colossal churn, describing activities such as sponsoring secondary schools while installing their own branding as a condition of sponsorship.

Isn't this very banner in the outfield of little league games in America? As in, companies big and small ask for their branding to be visible when they sponsor things.
Myself as well. I'm almost certain I've seen those toolbar icons in an early Firefox theme.
That sounds tiring and painful. Heel of your foot helps to stabilize the throttle actuation. Your hands would be hanging in the air.

Also there is this - accelerate accidentally while also turning.

There is absolutely zero need to reinvent the car UI/UX. Don’t try to fix what’s not broken.
There is a small but growing probability of him ending up like Howard Hughes.
You are totally right in each step, but there's 1 thing that makes it different from most exchanges: you can already transfer money in/out of it using LN, which makes it much more practical than using a Coinbase exchange account.

Also, while Coinbase Pro has a 0.1-0.3% fee for market order, if you want guaranteed execution, Coinbase and its competitors take 3-4%.

If you listened to talks from Jack Mallers, he was tracking lnd head instead of waiting for the full releases, and picking and testing pull requests by hand, fixing bugs that come up in practice (or giving feedback to lightning devs), that's one of Strike's advantages over other exchanges.

Also the ,,less regulation'' is just not true generally, people have to go through KYC to link with bank accounts, they are communicating with regulators: https://jimmymow.medium.com/announcing-strike-public-beta-32...

Because he's also a Mathematician in the Olympics, similar to (but not as successful) as Mrs. Kiesenhofer.
We like when nerds are not completely 1 dimensional.
If the steering ratio is smaller, so something like 90 degrees is full lock, you could maybe get away without hand-over-hand.
UBI is such blatant bribery by the existing governance structures, in order to ensure conformity to their ever increasing dictats.

I don't see how anyone things this action is a good thing - it's inflationary, it's bribery. How will people voice alternative opinions, when to do so will risk loss?

UBI is just a trick to have everyone willingly sign up into assimilation into the government's citizen-borg.
References on the cat evopsy claim? It’s interesting.

While obviously rare I think I've read two cases of this happening before, one was to do with xcode iirc and the other was probably something to with apple as well.

I don't think we know anything about its safety performance at this point.
It just shows that someone is writing something from their personal perspective and thinks the rest of the world should conform to their view points. Also, it really sounds like a recent cloud "convert" trying to make hay as a thought leader (which is a phrase that makes me want to hurl), all the while revealing their ignorance as not fully understand the topic at hand. In other words, typical blogosphere crap (even though this isn't really a blog, just a syndrome).
Benford's law tends to fit better when:

* the numbers span many orders of magnitude

* the numbers are produced by multiplication (where log(x) is normal-ish), not addition (where x is normal-ish)

Your examples span half an order of magnitude, so it definitely doesn't apply (as you say).
Neither the mentally ill nor drug addicts are protected classes. The best protection they will get is under the ADA, and I’ve never seen it be used to argue for access to housing for non-physical handicaps.
in germany every1 has a phd; no surprise really
NYC has right-to-shelter laws, which prevent anyone from being denied access to a homeless shelter. If the shelter runs out of space, they will literally rent out hotels.

I think this is great, and it makes me proud of my city—but frustratingly, there are still beggars on the streets, who for one reason or another have decided not to accept the city's shelter. What has Finland done differently?
> Go into the wild and grow/hunt food or trade some skill

This is what I thought the article would be about. Instead it’s glorifying living on handouts and other people’s largesse.
We just witnessed what happens with UBI (covid relief). Everyone sits on their ass and stops working. We heard the testimonies from small business owners that couldnt compete with the govt paychecks and hire people.
The really crappy jobs are invisible.

I don’t really know anyone who hates their line of work or lacks interest in their field (plenty in their job, but not their field).

That’s probably because I only know salaried professionals/soon to be professionals (interns).I suspect many others are in the same boat.
> As a trivial example, a stock whose price started at $1 and increased by $1 every day for 30 years would span 4 orders of magnitude over that time period, but would not follow Benford's law.

You would expect if you deliberately created a security whose growth rate monotonically tends to zero over time that you would get anomalous results in any statistical point, but I don't quite see why you bring up this pathological example?
What else would the kids be doing?

America has to compete with Asia now. The self-indulgent culture that arose from America being unchallenged on the world stage will have to come to an end.

15 years ago, I would have agreed with you because I thought the Asian system couldn’t produce innovators like the American system. China has proved that wrong.
What you buy yourself is a contact network that you would not get at the public school.
Is there? To me the terms are interchangeable. I tried googling for it and I can't find any clear distinction. Can you tell me what is the difference?
The majority sentiment in our large US cities, especially on the west coast, seems to be that tens of millions of people ought to have significantly reduced quality of life rather than thousands of people have their freedom curtailed. Even if that freedom is being used in ways that are not only degrading quality of life for the tens of millions but not even creating especially great quality of life for the thousands.

We’ve prioritized autonomy so much that we’ve ended up in a miserable equilibrium for all involved.

The only things progressives have to offer is maybe if we spend just a few more tens of millions; maybe if we throw just a few hundred more well intentioned social workers, drug counselors, and psychologists--then those few thousands will choose a different path. Because obviously the universe is a just one and there’s never any tough tradeoffs to be made. If only everyone cared as much as we progressives (aka good people) wouldn’t life be so glorious?
Interesting list. The early ones are from when software felt like toys compared to today. There was something... insubstantial about some applications in the mid 90s.

I spent years using all the minor browsers made for Linux. Galeon, Konqueror, Epiphany, Firebird/Phoenix, Opera, Mozilla. I think my favorite was Galeon due to the interface being very simple and direct. I also appreciated the very sober interface of Mozilla 1.
