>I think your comment and its parent have a poor attitude and not one that anyone should emulate.

I don't think working hard is dumb. To get into my position I had to work hard and acquire a lot of knowledge / skills. I had to defer a lot of gratification, skip a lot of parties and endure a lot of stress.

But people have lives outside of work. I can accomplish in a day now what might have taken me a month early in my career. I can make better decisions now that result in much less future work... lower amounts of maintenance etc. So should I put in the same grinding effort? That makes no sense to me. I don't grind anymore. Been there, done that.
No... if people want the context of the title explained, they can find that out by reading the article.
This means driver facing cameras and (likely) black boxes.
Big up-front disclaimer: my job is making software at Loop54 and my salary comes from happy customers of our service.

One of our goals is similar to yours: browsing an online store should be like walking around in a physical store. The navigation system on the site should be as adept as a knowledgeable store employee in helping you find exactly what you're looking for.

At Loop54 many of our customers come from Algolia. It's very popular, and nobody ever gets fired for buying Algolia. In that sense, it's a safe option.

On the other hand, customers come to us from Algolia because Algolia requires a bit of hand-holding and it still doesn't quite seem to get what users are really looking for. When our prospects run randomised controlled trials, our search consistently seems to give users what they want better than Algolia does, with less effort. I can ask about specific numbers if you want.

However, another strength of Algolia that Loop54 is currently behind in is in the surrounding tooling. For better or worse, with Algolia, you'll have more knobs and levers to play with (and you'll need them much more often!)

We do have one or two customers that have a majority of books in their product catalogues, and we know there are some unique challenges that come with that domain.

Loop54 is a very competent, but smaller player. If you think it's interesting, it's worth talking to us. I can't evaluate how good a fit your site would be for us, but that's why we have people who do that for a living!

Edit: I should also say that yes, Loop54 is even more expensive. You shouldn't blindly trust us (or any other provider.) I would strongly suggest running a randomised controlled trial to see whether any expense at all is worth it in your case.

I say this in part because I'm a man of science and believe in experiments to measure things, but also out of self-interest; anyone can throw out impressive marketing, but our search truly shines when put to the test against the alternatives.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by a “duration swap” and “different forms of money”?
I realize I’m godwin-ing myself with this, but I’m always wondering how these fanatical people view the discrepancy in holocaust victims from countries with active registration of people’s religion, versus countries without religious registration.

I’m curious about what works for you as well. I have to date been able to regulate this through other behaviors - overwork for one - that I can no longer do due to other constraints on my time. It’s becoming unsustainable.
No.

According to many rulings the last few years, continually and systematically accessing a third party’s data under the clear expectation that you are aware of (as well as agreed to) their terms is definitely a meeting of minds.
Well I take your point and trust that you are productive and well respected by your peers. I guess you mentioning that the flip side of the false negatives is the true negatives (people with low performance metrics who haven't been fired yet due to kissing up) is a correct response. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I thought your flip side was an alternative perspective on those who help others get unstuck, not on those caught by the HR performance metrics filter.
This is about CVE-2021-3490: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-3490
There's a published methodology on how the S&P 500 works. It's quite predictable, as this is a desirable feature on any index. While it's true that there's a human index committee that meets, it's mostly for tie breakers. They strive for diversity and typically lean on precedence to make their picks.

Also, almost nobody thinks the S&P5 is worse than the Dow. I'm not sure how you can back that up.
One solution is taxation. If you just sit on real estate or a domain name withoutdoing anything usefull, it should cost you. If squatting stays a problem, raise the tax. You can lower tax for your first domain, just as you would for a primary home.
You're too optimistic. Companies that are big enough will inevitably do this because it appeals to management, which forms a cohesive and insular culture inside them, and because it can be sold as a cost savings. These companies will inevitably find ways to survive by exploiting their size and power, and so they will be held up as models, and everyone smaller than them will be under pressure to follow their example. The only way it will someday "fail" is if it falls out of favor with management, maybe because some celebrity CEO bashes it in a bestselling book. But after that CEO and his book pass out of the limelight, it will come back, until it falls out of favor again, and so on.
>On the contrary, the only way to get treatment costs paid for addictive behaviours in the USA, by a medical insurance company, is if you have a disease. Try asking your medical insurance to pay to stop you making bad choices or changing your habits.

Bingo. In the late 80's there was an explosion of teenagers going into drug rehab centers which were usually setup in hospitals with unused bed spaces. It had no correlation with teen drug use increasing and everything to do with insurance paying for it.

There's a small village on a top of a mountain in Northern Thailand called Santi Khiri. Most Thai probably never have heard of its name or known of its existence (it has a very interesting history related to Kuomintang). There was no buses or whatsoever.

But of course, there's a 7-11 there.
As someone that enjoys occasionally coasting, I get bored really fast and find new areas to contribute to and problems to solve.

I think you may have gotten downvoted from the tone of the comment by folks that have arcane mastery over some system, which I can get from their perspective, depending on how long they’ve been in the industry/ niche/ company
> This happened in Japan in the '60s and '70s where unions demanded 5% annual wage increases to keep up with the inflation caused by every industry getting 5% annual price increases caused by union wage increases...

As a gov contractor, I'm seeing this first-hand. Inflation has been tame my whole career in this industry - 2% or 3% / year; therefore, contracts of fixed length have built-in rate increases of similar percentages, and raises trickle down from there.

Most companies will give you raises a bit less than what they're getting each year in increased rates themselves - it's how they increase their own growth and executive bonuses. This can go on for a long time - 5-10 years before the employee will really notice they're falling behind peers who've just been hired or general market rates if they were to jump shit.

But when real inflation is running 7%-10%, the wage disparities between new hires & contracts and existing employees & contracts become evident quickly. For example, I'm discovering that new engineers with far less experience and talent are being hired on for $20K - $40K more than I make, all else equal.

Which forces me to start looking for new employment or ask management for a raise, neither of which is desirable.
I believe the math you outline above refers to this step, located on page 7 of the Technical Summary:

> Next, the client creates a cryptographic safety voucher that has the following properties: If the user image hash matches the entry in the known CSAM hash list, then the NeuralHash of the user image exactly transforms to the blinded hash if it went through the series of transformations done at database setup time. Based on this property, the server will be able to use the cryptographic header (derived from the NeuralHash) and using the server-side secret, can compute the derived encryption key and successfully decrypt the associated payload data.

Is that correct?

If so, then I agree that it is true that in the PSI system the server secret is completely necessary as part of the decryption process in order to decrypt the matching hash in the pointed-to location in the table. That being said, looking only at the information encrypted by the client, I don't think the server secret comes into play, right?

If I'm misunderstanding, and you're confident that an attacker would have to have the server secret to decrypt a photo (even if they already knew that photo's NeuralHash and were able to defeat the internal layer of encryption), then I definitely recommend posting a well-outlined answer to the Cryptography Stack Exchange, as that would be super helpful!
"Hora, the Japanese word" in the context of a proper noun first brings to mind "somewhat archaic noun for bullshit", then "noun-fragment for hollow", and then "that verbal fragment half-word roughly analogous to 'there' or 'here' or, I suppose, 'see there/here', in some contexts more similar to "come on", just a general calling-attention-thing really, can be rather brusque depending on usage/context, personally I think the default leans brusque and is softened by tone instead of the other way around, maybe in a way that's roughly analogous to 'hey' or 'excuse me'".

I try to ignore it, but this sort of...naive, context/nuance-stripping romanticization of foreign-language words really annoys me. I think most Japanese-speakers would be merely amused by the unfortunate pun of "Hora Search", though.
This is close to what I was taught. I don’t know ancient Greek, so I wonder if that language draws a distinction between singular and plural in the way “the author” of Elements is structured.

Fwiw, I do recall that Pythagoras seems to have forbidden written records, so what survives are his followers’ notes, who apparently gave him singular credit where we might expect a collaboration.
I'm guessing Further Education / Higher Education.
There is nevertheless a significantly lower incidence of negative effects from the vaccine than from a covid infection in all age groups.
Same. I’m strongly considering donating to CalyxOS as they are a nonprofit.

The biggest reason I dumped Android years ago (the last Android phone I had was a galaxy nexus or nexus one) was because of the lengthy process to reflash a phone with something like aosp or (at the time) cyanogen. Each model was different. Ultimately I decided I didn’t have time for that and battery life was atrocious. Like I had batteries stashed all over the place.

I figure something like CalyxOS seems to have a good feedback and reputation here. And a donation helps them and allows me to bypass hours of tinkering on xd forums.

Ultimately I think I’m locked in iOS for now as my phone is dual sim and the esim is a company provided line. So I will either have to revert to carrying two devices again or just maintain the calyx/pixel as my bailout device in case my job suddenly my vanishes (like the current device I have in safe keeping)
I wonder if there are any phrases to detect industry funded papers? I know they tell you their funding sources but it doesn’t seem to always help.
It will be interesting to see how the FTC will rectify its ongoing fight to hold FB more accountable for protecting its users’ private data with the FTC’s ostensibly contradictory position to allow mass scraping of private user data at scale in this case. Cambridge Analytica was doing roughly the exact same thing, which was precisely what motivated the FTC's involvement in the first place.
Food is cheaper, but that has resulted in obesity. Housing is more expensive, and that has resulted in homelessness. Healthcare is also more expensive.

TVs are cheaper, but that has lowered IQs and has second order effects.
It is the result of a misguided science system that relies mostly on external quality checks (peer reviewed publication) and flooding the world with so much "novelty" that there is no way to digest it. At least you can use the output to train language models up to now: will machines now have to train themselves...
Yeah congrats to TBL and his baby. Actually, I believe the date is slightly off, and it should be August, 6th, according to the fist website [1], and in particular [2] linked from there.

But I've got to ask what has W3C done lately? I mean JavaScript and CSS is not their fault, but looking at W3C's accomplishments, they were busy with XML and WS-* (SOAP), then RDF/Sparql, and whatnot most of the time, creating a cottage industry of "enterprise" standards but completely loosing relevance on the web. Meanwhile, HTML stagnated, and CSS had to become the way overcomplicated beast it is today to make up for HTML's shortcomings, HTML still mostly being the casual academic publishing markup language it always was.

The result is the monopolistic browser landscape we have today and web authoring becoming unapproachable for all but an entrenched profession of "web developers" when the web was primarily a medium for easy self-publishing. Soon, Google implanted itself as the middle man, when getting rid of publishers and closed networks was the whole point of the web in the first place. Meanwhile, W3C continues to take money for driving CSS complexity ad absurdum (though they have talented people on the CSS WG for sure) and drops requirements for at least two interworking implementations for their XML stuff (such as XSLT). Basically, W3C is acting like a self-serving, pay-as-you org for advertising stuff as "standard". W3C's HTML 5 and SVG efforts have effectively stopped about three years ago.

Today, almost nobody is inspired to make websites; even developers flock to github and other centralized services for their stuff.

As much as I believe TBL acted in good faith, I think W3C as a standardization organization failed on all accounts that you could reasonably expect from a standardization effort.

Consumer city: Evidence from smartphone data
I know someone who keeps his msteams saying he is active by using a paper clip jammed into the insert key - that’s probably a good start :)
His whole comment is a quote from the movie
I would encourage you to track your steps for a week and then get two 50lb bags of sand from Home Depot and carry them around with you everywhere you go for a week. Compare the steps you took in week #1 to the steps you took in week #2 to see how “lazy” you’ve become from carrying around all the extra weight. It’s hard work being fat. Literally.

“Just ride your bike” is an easy solution for someone who is already normal weight but it’s not nearly as easy for someone who’s overweight.
The article said this layoff started after Xsolla was no longer showing 40% growth.

Having implemented Xsolla, I think they stopped showing 40% growth because the products Xsolla offers sucks.

Their value proposition is that payment systems are hard, so game developers should let them do the hard work and focus on making games. They pull this off by being the merchant of record. They take care of payment integrations and customer service, and take a percentage of the gross revenue on top of the merchant fees.

Their API is not as good as Stripe. And you also depend upon the quality of customer service. When I was Google searching about technical issues with integrating with Xsolla, I keep finding gamers complaining about Xsolla.

If your customer service is better than their’s, there is little point in going with Xsolla, especially if a terrible payment experience will sour any goodwill from fans.

You can fire almost half of your team based on big data analysis, but I doubt it would save your company if your product suck. Customer service people will get demoralized when the issues they hear from the users are not getting fixed by the product and engineering team.
First thought after the opening paragraph, "these have to be mainlanders". Scrolling down, yup.
So Pythagoras likely didn't even formulate the theorem - he was more into numerology and only cared about sum of squares triplets, not the results about right triangles.

On the other hand, we have strong evidence that the Babylonians understood and applied the "Pythagorean" theorem long before Pythagoras lived.

Additionally, the first recorded explicit statement of the theorem is actually by the Indian writer Baudhayan, over a century before Pythagoras.

The oldest extant proof of the theorem comes from Euclid. The proof commonly attributed to Pythagoras actually first shows up in the Chinese Zhoubi Suanjing, several centuries after Pythagoras.

Quite simply, "Pythagorean theorem" is a major misnomer.
I wonder if any phrases or styles could detect group think or studies following the crowd.
Please include a link to these theses, because as it stands this anecdote sounds extremely implausible. I don't know what university you were, but I've been at a few in Europe and at every one of them Master theses were evaluated from the start to the end by several humans. GPT-3 is unable to produce even two pages of coherent text, let alone 50 pages good enough to be accepted as a Master thesis in any discipline at any university I could think of (even the worst ones).

I can imagine that plagiators use paraphrasing software quite extensively, though, and that it is a problem.
Does it? I mean if the coverup becomes proven in criminal court, then are they still protected? I thought the problem with coverups is that they are very hard to prove, and when some of them eventually get uncovered, then the department simply treats it as some small irrelevant internal affair. Hence legally QI still stands.

Though of course it's strange that these half admissions of coverups are not treated sufficiently seriously by the courts.
Where were the managers? If you have to use company wide data analytics to know whether your employees are productive, you should fire your managers first. Then with better managers, those unproductive employees might start being challenged and engaged appropriately.

it's a quote from a movie. the premise being that as long as humans compete with each other for resources, there will be some they take most of the pie, and others that struggle for the remaining scraps. it's more a philosophical take on the human condition. the take is just that - winners and losers is arbitrary because humans will always view their successes and failures in direct comparison with others, regardless of whether from an absolute perspective their general condition or their share of the pie or the degree of wealth equality has improved. it's definitely helpful for understanding the human psyche. calling it circular reasoning misses the point.
I don't buy that the Amazon is meaningfully a consequence of human activity. The sheer biodiversity on display is not something I can imagine evolving in just a few thousand years.
>If the boss can’t see you, then they may suspect employees are slacking off at home.

If they think employees can't slack off while they're watching, they're probably making too much money for what little management skills they bring to the job.
The people who are quivering are the ones who have an inflated sense of the risk and never get on the plane. Taking procedures against the dangers of flying is a symptom of (rational) fear. If the risks of flying were overestimated, you might see something like half olane capacity to carry parachutes for all individuals on board and emergency escape hatches to allow in flight egress. Surely less people would die if they did that and that would be "better".

Your example of pilots is a great example of my point. Pilots are likely much more informed about the actual dangers of flying and the safety precautions involved. Imagine if they overestimated the danger by 2x, 10x or 100x. Being a pilot would be much more stressful and I bet plenty would find a new job.

I'm not deriding the honest worry. Nobody can know with certainty anything about the future.

I'm worrying about the paralyzing effects of a meme that says that since it's technically possible for an adverse affect to happen at an arbitrary point in the future, we cannot consider an option to curb the effects of a known problem we have right now.

Often I'm accused of dismissing the possibility of adverse effects like if I knew with certainty that they can't happen. How could I? Nobody knows. That's not the point. The point is to make a guess and take balanced risks. We take risks all the time, about everything.

What's so special about vaccines that causes such widespread reaction? Is it because people feel forced to take them? Is it something about the way they work that triggers such a reaction in people that often (anecdotally) don't care about things like effects of second hand smoke?

Xsolla is another payment platform for merchants?

Why not fire the CEO for being disengaged from coming up with a novel idea?

The meme is these people work so…much…harder. But none of them built the patterns and infra that enable these companies to spin up in days, on their own.

Without a society capitulating to behave this way, these guys wouldn’t have anything. I see no reason to believe they should be respected for grifting.
