That goes back to how different costs are accounted for in the corporate world, how they appear on the bottom line, and how they affect valuation and the stock price. I don't pretend to understand corporate account practices, but generally, look at what's considered an asset, what's considered a liability, and what sort of costs can be amortized and or taken as a tax credit.

I imagine that if there was a law that said companies could write off half or more what they spend on employee retention and development, you'd see Amazon and others put a lot more money that direction.

I find this answer to be true, but misguided. In particular, this type of answer was the exact thing that turned me off of math for YEARS.

Maths DO have a why - We needed way to describe and model the world around us, and math was a requirement to do that.

Now - once the model and rules are put in place - Fine, you can bugger off and be as self-referential and contained as you'd like - "There is no why!"...

But lets be clear - there ABSOLUTELY is a why, and the second the world around you no longer matches the model of your maths, we start debating whether or not to throw the thing in the trash and make new rules (see set theory as the classic example...)

Ask HN: Is it possible to focus bookmarks bar in Chrome Mac
When I use Chrome/Chromium on GNU/Linux, I am able to focus the bookmarks bar by pressing either Alt+Shift+B or Ctrl+Shift+B or something similar.

It puts focus on the first item, which I can immediately activate with Enter (or is it spacebar?) or alternatively I can tab to the next one.

This is great for activating bookmarklets, although they're slightly crippled by only working on pages which are allowed JS.

However, on Mac, there seems to be no such shortcut. No matter how much I've googled or tried different combinations of all the different meta keys with B, none seem to work.

Does anyone know if there is such a thing?
(I’ve read the book) no spoilers!
Forever? Seems self-evident.
> The question you really want to be asking is "does it materially affect most peoples' mental heath?". Personally, I think the answer is no not really. Obviously it becomes a vice for some.

The real question is how would you know if it did?

Addiction thinking sounds a lot like self reflection too: “I’m not addicted, I just like it very much. I can stop at any time I want, I just don’t want to”.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting everyone who likes something is addicted. It is just the means of finding that out is pretty tricky, especially for hyper-normal stimulus like processed food, porn, cocaine or some bits of the internet.

We can’t infer our ways out of self-deception, if we could it wouldn’t be self-deception.

Hence the requirement of proper objective tooling to measure such effects on (mental) health.
Which “he” do you mean here?
This is the problem, all pension systems are pyramid schemes. Plus you add extra overhead to administer over direct benefit contributions. You can claw some back by keeping the shares of those who die early but it isn't enough. Additionally, dying early should still benefit your family and would do so under direct benefit schemes. You mask ask "what happens when people run out?" and the answer is the largely the same, it becomes a social program that is needs based just like it does for all the people today who have no pension.

Let alone the entire world.
I am from India. The school I went to (70-80s) wasn't the best, but I had an innate aptitude for math
(perhaps genetic). I was lucky to get introduced to some Russian math texts [1][2] from my 3rd/4th standards which helped me (alongwith some local texts) to get good scholarships and rankings in Maths and science
competitions (including a national level Math olympiad) and a later admission to a top level engg college in IIT
(again thanks to accessing good libraries for foreign authored books). I see the Russian books as having provided
me with a good foundation by being fun and interesting, informative, affordable, immersive and engaging and it
really fuelled my interest in math and science. Given the resurgence of the Russian school of math in the US I
wish I could be there to educate my children in that tradition. But not being there (out of choice and circumstance,
I studied in Boston for a while) I really wish something like this was available in India.

So my question is - is there some sort of a curriculum and associated training material (books, texts) available based on the Russian way
of teaching, on which to develop a training plan
locally in a country like India? Given the plethora of online school education options available today I do not
know what exact training methods are used there, but platforms exist to have a broader reach for teachers to find interested
students. I presume it would not be too difficult to setup a curriculum and training outside the
normal school one with the explicit intention of developing strong math skills based on a Russian math education
base if one wants to teach.

You answered your own question. "Very flexible" is a plus for Amazon because they can cover everybody's use-cases with a single concept. "Very flexible" is a minus for end users because they only need to take care of their own use-case.

So you can say it's a "natural" complication, and you'd be right, but that says nothing about usability, which is where "issues" tends to come in.

That seems to imply that it can use the same GPU as the host? I thought a dedicated one was required (not just a 'common use').
Teaching calculus through physics (and vice versa) actually makes a lot of sense.

Similarly, basic Linear Algebra and 3D graphics have great synergy. I took LinAlg and Computer Graphics the same semester in undergrad, and the first half of LinAlg led perfectly into the second half of CG. (The first half of CG was all 2D stuff, which didn't need any special math.)

Exactly. Some "scholars" say that Genesis, along with the other four books of the pentateuch, was literally written by Moses and recounts actual facts as they happened. Wikipedia's NPOV utterly fails on topics like faith and belief.

You still can get damages in heart, kidney and lungs from corona, even if you are asymptomatic and didn't feel anything. The first cases were reported from italian divers you can't work in their job anymore because of lung damages.

Good orms like sqla comes in layers, and the object relationships mapping is the highest one. You can use lower level layers as you need, and retain the benefit of a strong battle tested abstraction that gives you introspection and a standard API.

Sometimes I use sqla just for the connection pool and session handling and dump raw sql in it.

It's not raw sql vs orm, as usual it's use a spectrum with good use cases for each part of it, and you usually benefit from all of it. But orm have pareto value in my xp.

Definitely. If I had to generalize license plate behavior based on my experience here -

NJ - Drive like they're in NYC, no turn signals, will try to merge/squeeze into 3 inches of space.

NY - Must not have lane rules, they just sit in the left lane regardless of speed.

PA - Highly aggressive and dangerous. Will tailgate you, will brake check you, will drive 30 over and punish you if you happen to block their path.

FL - Wildcard. Everyone is from one of the above, so who knows which you'll be dealing with.

So you're advocating for decentralize financial systems but a centralize legal system? How do you reconcile that?
The hypotheticals are the idea that what other governments or legal systems do will be done in the US.
It’s like the NoSQL of finance.
Not the parent, but IMO it is an awkward way of thinking of permissions in an automated environment. It fits a human model much better, where you have a long lived entity which is self contained and expected to be trustworthy. Alice should have access to all finance data in this bucket because she works in finance, or Bob should be able to access these EC2 instances because he admins them.

It causes weird and overly broad privileges though usually, because you need to give permission to do any possible thing the job or user of the credentials COULD need to do, all the time.

This happens because any action to limit the scope usually causes more human friction than it is worth.

Ideally, when it is requested they do something, they get handed a token for the scope they are doing it in, which only gives them access to do the specific things they will need to do on the specific thing they need to do it, and only for the time they plausibly will need to do it for. This is a huge hassle for humans, and adds a lot of time and friction. For machines, it can be as simple as signing and passing along some simple data structures.

So for example, Alice would get a token allowing access to Q4 ‘20 only if that was plausibly correct and necessary, and then only for how long it took to do whatever she was doing. Bob would only get a token to access the specific EC2 instance that needs him to log into it because of a failure of the management tools that otherwise would fix things - and only after telling the token issuing tool/authority that, where it can be logged.

It makes a huge difference in limiting the scope compromises, catching security breeches and security bugs early on, identifying the true scope and accessibility of data, etc.

Also, since no commonly issued token should probably ever provide access to get everything - where the IAM model pretty much requires that a job that gets any random one thing, has to be able to get ALL things, then you also end up with the potential for runtime performance optimizations, since you can prune in advance the set of possible values to search/return.

No. This is not true, and I think I provided a good reference to that effect (it's really quite a good documentary too). A US surgeon engaging in child abuse is a statistical anomaly in the world of child sexual abuse. The best way to find child sexual abuse is to hop onto an airplane, and go to a region of the developing world where child sexual abuse is rampant.

It's not all hard to find such places. Many children are abused at scale, globally. I think few of those kids are getting filmed or turned in CSAM.

I'm also not at all sold on your claim that hands-on offenders tend to collect CSAM materials either, but we have no way to know.

I am sold on the best way of reducing actual abuse involves some combination of measures such as:

1) Fighting poverty; a huge amount of exploitation is for simple economic reasons; people need to eat

2) Providing social supports, where kids know what's not okay, and have trusted individuals they can report it to

3) Effective enforcement everywhere (not just rich countries)

4) Places for such kids to escape to, which are safe and decent. Kids won't report if the alternative is worse

... and so on. In other words, building out a basic social net for everyone.
Don't like it? Call your Senator. Apple has to comply with the law.

If you really want to be sad about the situation. When I had gone to Norway on project fi I had minimum of 4 bars anywhere I went too of mountains, tunnels under mountains miles long and out on the boats between ports.

Now Norway is the size of about the California and probably easier to cover one could say but the population far less and I can’t imagine what the telcos bring in per user which doesn’t even even go towards their infrastructure.

US mobile and internet cover is crap and will need regulatory intervention if we want to get it in rural areas IMO.
..ok. So they didn't have to put much/any effort in? Still though, how many users are actually going to use 'GNOME Web'?

Is Elon Musk Killing People?
This tripped me up recently too. Somehow I'd got it in my head that Vue (2) would selectively re-render sub-trees within a given component if no dependencies within the tree had changed. I had a table functioning as a datasheet (not even that big—about 20 columns by 100 rows) that was absolutely chugging and I couldn't work out why, because nothing within the table was changing very often. Extracted it to its own component and all the performance issues went away.
But the entire premise of decentralized finance is to have no central authority, is it not?
There has to be more to it than that. You haven't even argued why this is fair by the way. "Fair share" is an emotionally charged political slogan that means something different to everyone. Probably why it's used by so many politicians.

No, they did some good, they've done a few things to personally help me. They created OpenAI Gym which is a great help when doing reinforcement learning research and defined the standard interface for reinforcement learning libraries for a generation. But they not longer maintain OpenAI Gym.

They also created Spinning Up [0], one of the best resources I've found for learning reinforcement learning. Their teaching resources are detailed but relatively brief and are focused on implementing the algorithms, even if some of the "proofs" are neglected. But they no longer maintain Spinning Up.

So yes, originally they were for-the-good, but lately I've noticed them moving away from that in more ways than one. It seems they learned one cool trick with language sequence modelling, and they have a lot of compute, and this is all they do now.

We just have a fundamental difference of opinion here :) My own rules explicitly state that I do not allow visitors onto my property (exceptions for service professionals). I also send a reminder to guests within the 48 hour cancellation window on the "no additional guests / no visitors" rule. Insurance doesn't cover them (neither Airbnb nor my STR policy). I have no issues keeping my place booked, and 99% of the guests follow the rules.
