Excellent point. People need to be more skeptical of novel technology in general. I mean, the big proponents of any new technology usually have a financial incentive to over sell its capabilities. I've noticed that with AI/ML especially people are willing to hand-wave away nuance and blindly believe that anything is possible. In reality AI is mostly iterative pattern matching and is far from perfect.

In this case however, I do believe that bronze medalists are happier than silver medalists provided that all the participants had a similar probability of victory.
But this argument often rests on inequality of observable outcomes.

> My twin is significantly overweight. Has been since we were 15. I'm not and haven't ever been. I always enjoyed working out, he didn't. Your univariate view of the world can't explain this.

Yes it can. You were subject to different environmental factors. These differences can compound to produce very different results over time, but ultimately it is still genetic at the root.

I could respond to the rest of your post but I think this is the crux of your argument.

It's a principle in western law that punishments be specified ahead of time so that a person could choose to break the law if they felt it was worthy. In such a framework punishments cannot be so extreme that you would never consider breaking the law.

IMO the dismay at this idea is coming from those who consider law as part of morality, in which case, it may be immoral to even develop a calculus for ignoring morality when the material returns are good enough.

There's quantum superdense coding, which in theory could allow higher bandwidth (transmitting one qbit can be used to transmit two classical bits) but I believe the main point of quantum channels is for cryptography.

If entanglement allowed FTL communication you'd see high-frequency traders already using it!
How common an occurence is that? How often is an unimportant, middle class person's data at risk, really? Enough that you'd want to spin up your ZFS storage?

Hypothetically, let's say I had my entire life on Google. I have a unique password for it, backed up by 2FA, without the SMS/Authenticator fallback. What's the long term consequence? Google knows everything about me? They already do anyway. Someone can steal my printout of the backup codes?

I don't ask this to stir shit. I genuinely have these sorts of discussions with friends and family when I try to tell them that privacy is important, and I fail absolutely at convincing them of it.
Been using it for ages - it's brilliant. It'll be front and center in in my upcoming major web library project site once launched :)
I wouldn't interpret save as keep it in a low-risk low-rate vehicle, but to not spend it. Investing is a form of savings. That said, keeping a certain amount of money in a liquid safe vehicle is also a good idea so you have f–ck you money/what if the economy crashes or there's a global pandemic and I lose my job money. In your twenties you should, at the very least, max out your 401(k) and/or IRA options and have that all or mostly in index funds (I can remember analysis paralysis when I first saw the investment options in the 401(k) when I was young and ended up not investing at all. None of the information in the literature was helpful at all. My short-form advice: look for a low-cost index fund. You're not going to beat the market unless you're lucky and even if you are lucky and you're not going to be consistently lucky. People whose job it is to figure this out never consistently beat the market (and most underperform index funds in the long run), and neither will you.
From what I remember about her (and that was 20 years ago), it seems to me she wouldn't have necessarily considered herself abused or victimized without the media and political circus that followed.

For the same field of view, a smaller sensor requires a decrease in the focal length; this leads to a greater depth of field. Moving to a medium-format camera will give less depth of field (and a large-format camera even less). Different sensor sizes using the same focal length will give the same depth of field, but the field of view will vary.

This explains it nicely: https://fstoppers.com/education/understanding-how-sensor-siz...
What a disingenuous summary of the article. I thought the points about persistent bugs in Safari were particularly pointed. Also most of the features Safari hasn't chosen to implement are supported by both Chromium and Firefox and are standards.

If you think standard APIs for screen orientation, pixel density, or touch events are some Chrome conspiracy, please do explain why.

Welcome to Hacker News. I guarantee you almost no one bothered to read past the words "blood marker" in the title. You can tell because the article has pop-ups and no one is ranting about them.
> But the browser-supported languages seems to have been almost entirely Javascript and VBScript.

FWIW I recall only being able to use VBScript in IE (maybe there was a way to run ActiveX components in other browsers?)

I want to say tho, that many (most?) MS Active Scripting languages could run as client scripts, at least I recall Perl ones running in a browser context through ActivePerl.
Rees-Mogg's character isn't an act so to speak, but it belies his true origins. He's not upper class - he's upper-middle, if we're being fairly strict in our definitions of British class. Being the son of a life peer isn't the same as being the son of a hereditary peer in terms of its conferral of social class. Rees-Mogg's father, William, was born middle class and was elevated to a life peer for his journalistic career, rather than being a titled hereditary peer.

Now for some useless internet anecdotes.

I was actually at Oxford with Jacob's nephew. Very humble chap, very likeable, and very liberal in his conservatism. Was always quite reluctant to spill the beans on Jacob though, which is fair enough.

Also interestingly is the continued existence of people like Hannah in the article. My tutor, a professor at Christ Church (informally seen as one of the most 'aristocratic' colleges), was 'busted' for running a secret dining society populated by public schoolboys, a number of whom would be described as being upper class. This is despite him coming from a relatively modest background up in Hull, and never entirely managed to shirk his regional accent. He didn't even read for his undergraduate degree at Oxford, heaven forbid! (Great guy though). Now it all makes sense as to why he was so inquisitive about my schooling and family background during our first meeting.

My cousin, who was also at Christ Church, knew a couple of the Bullingdon chaps. Heckling members of the public in the King's Arms because they didn't live in a castle was one unbecoming episode, as was another member turning up to a college party in a KKK outfit. From my understanding, traditionally upper class societies like the Bullingdon are strongly falling out of fashion and becoming much more underground, because of the toxicity surrounding them. While I was there, the Bullingdon club were caught assembling on their usual steps in Canterbury Quad in their tails, to take their annual photograph. They were promptly kicked out of college and told that they couldn't assemble in Christ Church again. As a result of this toxicity, they've had to expand their social reach to more non-traditional gents, in order to keep the club alive. Now more than ever, simply being from a wealthy family, rather than an aristocratic one, seems to qualify.
I trust major cloud providers like Google or Microsoft to protect my data far more than I'd ever trust a bunch of retail hardware I plugged together and configured myself.

They have entire gigantic teams of employees dedicated to security and privacy and protection from threats. I couldn't replicate that even if I wanted to.

If someone wants to steal and leak your sensitive data, they'll have a much easier time getting into your home hardware (whether over a network or physically or both) than they will getting it out of Google Drive, provided you have 2FA and good passwords you keep memorized.
Probably not: this is a boutique machine defined with an esoteric architecture, not a general-purpose integer computer for the cloud, which I was what I was talking about in my grand-parent-comment.
Ah, EU.. SSI is American concept.. recursive signatory is too, represents data structure "of, by, for" people. Foreign concepts in EU don't quite translate same in that admin context. Regardless EU efforts remain in tact, as Human Rights don't come from database.. thus EU chasing SSI accuracy.
Maybe a long time ago, but ADHD is in the DSM-5 and the ICD-11 now, which are the main references for diagnosis of mental illnesses.

ADHD has a direct impact on abilities like emotion regulation and impulse control, it makes much more sense to classify it as a mental disorder than a learning disorder (or whatever other misconceptions used to exist).
You could comfortably say something analogous about the UK's tabloid press.

The Daily Mail is sued - and loses - so regularly management seem to consider it a legitimate business expense.

> I thought this was sarcasm, but the tone continues throughout the article.

It was sarcasm, but the tone continued because I think Itanium was an enormous waste of time and other resources.

> The ISA was brilliant.

I completely disagree. The ISA depended on enormous leaps in compiler technology in order to make it useful. However pretty it may have been, it couldn't be implemented in a performant way. It'd take ugly-but-practical over pretty-but-impossible any day of the week, especially when I get to use languages that abstract the ugliness away from me.
One of the two big reasons a project I've been working on for years went with Xamarin Forms is _because_ of native appearance on each platform. If you want your app to look the same on every platform and not take advantage of each platform's individual strengths, then just stick with HTML+JS.
So I know this isn't your point, but your comment made me think, does it actually require any type of human immune system? The vaccine exposes you to viral protein which causes an immune response. Wouldn't that work in other species no matter the implementation details of how their immune system generates that response?
I see. In the US, I've been stopped before when I didn't have my license with me and the officer looked it up on his computer. Of course you're expected to have the card with you, but that's a relatively minor requirement compared to having a valid license in the system. Forgetting your wallet at home isn't on the same level as being unlicensed.

I noted this earlier: " Almost nobody you presented the license to would know that another one has been issued, besides possibly a police officer." So the usefulness is for situations that are not driving and don't involve police. One could still definitely use the 'lost' license to get into bars or concerts, start accounts, and purchase alcohol or cigarettes.
It’s not like I wanted to do this, more a moral obligation. When a former EBOLA colleague texted me last February and said he was putting the team back together I had a small panic attack knowing this bullshit cycle of unmitigated spread and disinformation was about to be my life again for 2+ years. On our first Zoom one guy just banged his head on his desk for a solid 2 minutes to give us a bit of comic relief.

Doesn’t even pay well - like at all. Dunno why you got downvoted so much.
What's this about war? Who mentioned war? The EU is not fining a nation-state with an army; it's fining a corporation with EU subsidiaries and assets.

If you want to trade in a place, you either obey the laws of that place, or you shut down operations there, or you get fined.

Are you suggesting the USA might use armed force to prevent the EU fining Faceache? I don't think I've heard even nativist nuts suggesting anything remotely like that.

In the course of my career there's been the late 80s/early 90s recession, the dot-com bubble, 9/11, the great recession and 2020 to just pick a few of the highlights. After a while, you gotta think that maybe white swans aren't as much the norm as we've been led to believe.
Yeah, but that doesn't work either. There are gov sites that have incorrect information, out of date information, partisan ideas and rhetoric, or there may exist, now or in the future, a .gov website where people could upload and share content.
Depression is tough, and yes, a deeper understanding would really be great.

There's something I'm curious about with your colleague: You already know he is disorganised in the specific ways you observe. So telling him what you see, asking him whether he would welcome some help with that, and providing your suggestions if he says yes, seems a good way to support him independent of a medical diagnosis. How do you see the label/diagnosis helping you?
Pushing the Limits of IDaaS with AMaaS
I think it's a bit more subtle than this. You won't get promoted for just doing what you're told, but you might get fired if you don't do your job or you do overtly selfish things (like unilaterally introduce new tech that may not a good fit for the team/company). The key is to understand your bosses incentives and motivations and be proactive about making things better from their perspective.

Of course there are a lot of reasons not to follow this advice: maybe you don't want to be promoted, or your boss is an idiot, or you fundamentally hate your role, etc. In that case other tactics may apply, but be aware there's a glass ceiling if you only rely on job-hopping for your growth opportunities.

Technical debt is what happens when an accountant is doing an engineer's job.
>Old houses are sold at prices relative to new houses. If new houses cost more and more, old houses also increase in value, especially since they are on the best land (not in new far away outer suburbs).

This is basically the reason... it's location right? Older houses may have bigger lots and better offsets etc... Yes you can get newer going further out but you can also remodel.
I like the MS business units pointing guns at one another. Gotta focus on the real enemy.
It's quite understandable that he could have done this by accident. People avoid directly identifying someone they're not supposed to identify but do not realize that they leaked enough details to uniquely identify them.

If he's guilty of it we of course do not see the evidence--posting the evidence would amount to the same crime that he was convicted of.
"... an amorphous ghost, with enormous differences and inconsistencies in its use."

"Technical debt" is good company here. Popular speakers, thought leaders and the like are rather keen to coin new terms but not to define and delineate them rigorously.

(Like for "microservices": Let two engineers count the number of microservices in a larger system. The will surely not arrive at the same number.)
What if the moderator had a bad day or is lazy? Or the AI is wrong? In Sony's case I have no idea if maybe a screen-capture from a game triggered something, or some AI misinterpreted my bad english as "against the TOS" or maybe some idiot reported me because he lost in a multiplayer game, I will never know.

In the mid 80s to 90s, there was a lot of interest around "query responsive" data structures. There still is, I'm sure, but that was what I studied and I've moved on since then.

Of these, the fibbonaci and pairing heaps were the most well known products, I reckon.

They essentially move "Active" parts of the data structure upwards near the top of the tree. The use case is different (being heaps), but I wouldn't be surprised if that line of R&D has continued, or if there's a huge gap in performance that can be reclaimed with "intelligent" guesses like this one.

I'm rambling and conjecturing, but maybe someday branch prediction will get a huge boost to their already tangible smarts and we'll see another explosion in practical CPU throughput, combined with a little help from algs and data structures, of course.

Startups take on a lot of types of debt. Sometimes they hire less experienced people, you could call that HR debt. Sometimes they work out of a cramped or less ergonomic office, you could call that facilities debt.

Sometimes startup founders have very little management experience and hire others who have very little experience, you could call that management debt.

Taking on debt of any kind should be done strategically with a clear awareness of the trade-offs associated with it.

There's nothing intrinsically bad about any of the types of debt.

I think the most useful mental model is more risk-oriented. Think of the business as a portfolio of risks. Adopting a zero technical debt strategy reduces the risk of unexpected technology failures, but increases the risk of competitors coming to market sooner, etc. Successful businesses are the ones that navigate and make choices that turn out in hindsight to have been smart about the allocation of that risk portfolio.

In my view the relevant case study for technical debt is that day years ago when Facebook's homepage malfunctioned and showed the PHP source. This revealed some pretty ugly code that had apparently been written by Zuckerberg. Facebook already had a valuation in the billions on the basis of code that would not pass code review at most startups.
