I think it would be more accurate to say it is too early to have meaningful statistics, not that it is wrong. The Mach-E only recently went on sale in Norway, and given Tesla's uneven delivery schedule the only meaningful comparison is average/month. YTD would work starting in 2022.

> The overhead to writing C makes it a less friendly introduction to the topic if you have never written a compiler or interpreter (or parser, specifically) before.

That's true and was my first thought. C seems like an arcane choice for an introduction course.
They didn't, though. They recommended a few things that this site would do to how it's set up within its server. (I mean, a CDN would also help, but...)
You can goto inside a conditional statement in pretty much any language I can think of that has goto.

Loops are sometimes more restricted, but even then, neither C nor Pascal prohibit it (Algol-60 did, curiously), and many languages derived from them that retained goto do the same. Off the top of my head, the only mainstream language I can think of that specifically prohibits goto into inner blocks is C#.
Facebook Domination vs. Self-Determination
First of all I do see that you called it an example; I don't think you're straw-manning or anything:

I think using chaos theory / Bayesian concepts is a significantly better metaphor for "life as we experience it" than it is for the examples you gave.
I think there are levels to it. Best for privacy would be no crash reporting, but obviously that comes at the cost of no crash logs and needing to do a lot more testing and QA before shipping to get equivalent quality, and that's an engineering trade-off.

Custom crash-reporting, where the server is controlled by you, is likely a bit better because it's not going to a third party, but that's another engineering cost.

Having crash reporting is probably fine – I put crash reporting in the apps and services I work on, and I expect them as a user – but it is definitely worse for privacy and if an app is marketing on being good for privacy it's not a great fit. As for analytics, again, I can see the reasoning, but I think it would be good to not do it.

As far as privacy is concerned, shipping the binary and it doing any networking is the same impact, regardless of the tagging that you may or may not be doing. MS might be tagging connections/IPs, correlating users, fingerprinting, etc. There's also the risk that private data accidentally ends up getting sent to AppCenter (in crashes or analytics) just from values on the stack or the particular code paths that users are executing.

Honestly, I don't think you should be selling based on privacy. I don't think Sigma OS is fundamentally better than Firefox/Safari, and it takes a LOT of work and giving up a lot of useful data to do it correctly. I'd put product analytics in (but not too much), keep the crash reporting, don't sell data, don't sell ads, don't advertise as being any more private than that, and use your product analytics to inform your product process and build better features.

Yes, that is what I'm saying doesn't make sense. If those reasons hold up, then all of bait-and-switch advertising is legal to do - which is obviously not the case. Unless the ruling is saying that bait-and-switch advertising is only ok when its "obviously a joke". I don't really think it was that obvious in the pepsi case tho.
Most of all of your linked papers are summaries of earlier experiments, going back to the 1940's in some cases.

Very little new knowledge was added.

>So the result is that masks work. Even crappy cloth masks work.

I would agree if you change "results" to expert conjecture and "work" to probably do something.

But again, this was always known.
Have you looked at non-FAANG companies for remote work? If you know web apps or could learn there are a lot of companies with remote SW dev openings out there.

After working for years at a large company, I am happy with a much smaller company, working directly on products. Happy as I could be, it still is work though. You feel more connected with the work when its usage isn't so distant.

Sounds like you have some burn-out. Maybe looking at other industries than finance would help? Take a break/sabbatical and do fun programming?
There are a couple that I use pretty regularly even outside of tech that result in weird looks from people because I didn't realize it's not part of the common vernacular:

1. orthogonal - "Well, this issue is orthogonal to that issue"

2. impedance mismatch - "I think we have a bit of an impedance mismatch here. We want this but all we have is that."

Yeah...I remember the iPhone release. I was so jealous of the capacitive screen and solidly implemented graphics acceleration. But compared to the HTC WinMo phone I had at the time, it was missing such futuristic capabilities as 3G data, GPS for turn-by-turn nav, 3rd party apps, copy/paste, MMS, background apps, front camera (although it was less important because video calls on 2G was a non-starter), and the ability to even change your background or ringer to something that didn't ship with the thing.

Definitely glad that others were soon to follow with the more modern displays, because the first iPhones themselves were like a step back in many other ways compared to the Palms, Blackberrys, and PocketPCs of the day.

That's going to be a lot of cloned mobiles and SMS 2FA account takeovers.

It's going to be very difficult rotating out that information. That treasure trove of data is worth a lot and somebody is going to pay for it.

This KYC and handing over personal information should be replaced with zero knowledge proofs and everything encrypted.

Companies should be data audited and fined for not encrypting and logging and minimising data access and minimising data and only keeping relevant data.

In fact the state requiring companies to keep data long term also puts you at risk, data should be minimsed not only in content but in time.
Yeah exactly. Third parties can bid on keywords as they have always been able to do, and Google might give you better ads based on that data, but they aren't telling the third party why. That's a pretty big difference!
If we think the solution to these problems is to wear disguises, we've already lost.
Watch out: you're clearly expressing support for this dangerous individual. In fact, your thoughtcrime is even more serious: glorification and extolment of a double-plus-ungood nonperson.

This lazy, intellectually irresponsible policy is beyond dangerous, but has plenty of proponents. A rare insight into their 'reasoning' is afforded by the comments on the intermittently flagged story of the historian banned for publishing a document by Goebbels:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28200873

There are many better ways of doing research.
The obvious speculation is that this person did not use any of those better ways because the document is a forgery. If it is a forgery, the author would be promoting neo-Nazi propaganda.

This is so bizarre. The guy is posting literal Nazi propaganda - as in literally a document written by Goebbels
The only way this will happen in the US is if Congress requires it. The vast majority of the infrastructure to make it happen already exists. Especially with the large custodial banks offering “white label” services.
Hi! Glad you liked the idea and thank you for the feedback! I agree that Europe (and Ukraine in particular) has an amazing talent pool not yet connected widely to the global companies.

From the perspective of design community we build, we want to uncover Ukrainian creative talents to the world. They really deserve to work with high-end companies, get a global recognition and do not loose a social capital while being a solo freelancer. Still, I would not call that a standard arbitrage as we are not selling hours or smth — we provide companies with the smart matching and an efficient process to get design done, all in one app. For both sides of users, we're focusing on the added value.

Honestly I'm getting tired of this sort of moderation on social networks. It has nothing to do with scholarly channels, or Nazi this and that for me; I just don't sympathize with censorship I guess and there's always going to be some false positives and negatives when you start going down that path. It just feels like a waste of everyone's time to me.

Having said that, I think you're right about hoping it leads to better avenues, as I think there's a real need for it.
With a phD in CS, the likelihood is you could probably find something outside of Quant finance at a big tech company. Try and connect with some recruiters at Google etc and see what they have going on.

A better job can make a big difference, perhaps one that will allow you to spend more time visiting home (remote work supported).
Nope, explicitly using logic. We didn’t invent thinking about things in the last hundred years after all.

If you don’t know what is behind x thing, and every y times someone walks by a thing like x thing they get jumped by a leopard, then only walk by x thing when the risk is worth it. Which it rarely is.

If you’re referring to formal logic, then sure - but almost no one in that thread seems to be using that definition either. Formal logic is incredibly expensive (mentally), and only a few percent of folks even now can afford to use it with any regularity.
Most of the world works this way.

This recently happened to me as well - Venmo tried to invalidate my payment method and pushed me to go through their "instant verification" process. Note that "manual verification" (i.e. the deposit method) is still an option on their app, though you may have to remove your current bank credentials and re-add it.
i don’t know the breakdown but a lot of musicians in general do this, even some producers. For my genres more often with an acoustic guitar and vocalist (usually same person) ; interestingly at least one does this when the final song(s) don’t even include a guitar.

Concurrent is not quite the same as async, though. If we're talking about async - especially the most common modern variety which is basically coroutines with some syntactic sugar - then it first appeared in mid-1960s in Simula. Although I don't think it was used much then.
This is one guy who says he is a tech expert taking wildly incorrect guesses as to why the Taliban succeeded. It's basically a long HN comment.
Very true. We are witnessing how a new aristocracy is being built. This time it’s not based on skills in warfare but around business skills. But the result is the same: you have a small group who thinks they are better than others and deserve to receive the vast majority of the profits society creates. And they manipulate the game to their advantage.

This seems to happen in all societies until a revolution happens and the cycle starts anew just with different actors.

> "We" instead of "I"

What about "we" instead of "you"? E.g., "Can we change the color of this button to blue?"... "Yes, I can do that."

It used to bother me, but when you're in the position of telling other people what to do, I suppose it sounds less demanding.
AIUI, you're allowed to experiment on yourself. My home-made closed loop insulin pump is a good example.

Selling and importing involve a whole different level of permission though. Don't expect that's going to be allowed.
I can try and explain this one - I do this a lot when writing down meeting notes / sending emails. The problem is that when a company has 3 Steves, 5 Freds, and you need to refer to someone, you need an unambiguous way to do so. So I try to write down people's email handles when taking notes or saying "you should talk to @sdlkfj" about this issue.

On calls I will try to use their first name, unless there are multiple people with the same first name there as well. Then I just refer to people by the NATO phonetic alphabet of their last name. I do ask for their permission before I do so though, I'm not trying to be a jerk :)
And most likely you'd go back to tech anyway around age 35 after not earning enough to live comfortably (speaking as someone with a background in biology with lots of friends and colleagues who left the field).

Have you hung out much with rationalists?
That use-case seems not strictly useful, but things become trickier with more elaborate expressions; like when we want to abstract over what f looks like.

Eg One might have f(x,y,z) = (...). If f is in some class of functions with some properties (homogeneous, linear, smooth, etc) we can operate on it abstractly.
We could even derive properties of surfaces f(x,y,z) = C.
What percentage of electric-miles vs gasoline-miles do you think a typical Chevy Volt or Honda Clarity gets?

I'm guessing 90% electric / 10% gasoline, maybe 95% / 5% split. Based off of online chatter, and various simulations I've done myself (distance I travel each day, how often I take long road trips, etc. etc.)

I argue that PHEV is closer to 90% electric (because that 50-mile all electric range covers well over 90% of your travels: especially if your office has an electric charger available like mine), and 10% gasoline (because you have to use some maintenance gasoline... + the road trips you take)

Unless you have very peculiar and idiosyncratic definition of the world model, I am fairly confident that what you are saying doesn't make much sense.

In economy in a way that is not dissimilar to physics, model has a precise meaning. To quote Wikipedia, it is a simplified version of reality that allows us to observe, understand, and make predictions about economic behavior. You can't have a model of a model. That just doesn't really make sense.

> Mathematical proofs rely on this

I'm confused by what you want to say here. Mathematical proofs don't use models.

Every proved statements in mathematics can be built from axioms which are presupposed true applying logical rules which are themselves part of the axiomatic system. Saying that something is mathematically proved basically means that given this set of rules we can build up to that point.

> Rationality itself is a model

Once again I'm fairly lost by what you are trying to mean. I'm fairly certain that for most accepted meaning of the world model and the world rationality, rationality is in fact not a model in the same way that a dog is not a theory.
OP made no statement about brand loyalty. It sounds like the car buyer went through the same rational process you do and decided that the Mach-E was the car that they wanted.

When faced with the inability to buy the car they wanted, they decided that they will need to buy something else with the important new parameter that they will only own this car for a short time (until they can buy a Mach-E). With that new parameter, it makes sense to buy a gas car (cheaper to get into, TCO is much less of a factor, etc).
There's a difference between what is legal and what is right. What is actually legal is muddled in stacks of overriding law and legal precedent that no "reasonable person" could every really know completely. I would bet you that more than 30% of the country wouldn't have seen that and thought "oh that's obviously a joke".
Definitely a thing that gets independently discovered over and over. I'd heard this described the "hairy arm technique[1]", with similar setup as the Queen's Duck anecdote, but a hairy arm instead of a duck. I remember reading about it and thinking "oh, so that's the name for that".

The Queen's Duck is a catchier name though!

I completely get where you're coming from, I'm a staunch self hoster myself.

But why re-invent the wheel before you have to? That's just a waste of time and resources that could be used to promote and build your project.

Like in this very case, the website is now down and unable to promote the project because it was made in a traditional way.

Imho it's enough to retain ownership of domains to really own a project. Like the widelands.org domain.

So whatever happens with AWS, or reddit, that domain can always move and point visitors to new communities.

In my personal selfhosting environment I have my own domain pointed to protonmail. So even if protonmail goes belly up I can always move my domain somewhere else.

And even my domain is picked to give me maximum control. I use my own country's ccTLD because they have a good conflict resolution department that will benefit me as a citizen.

I am also a frontend dev. My experience has been completely opposite from yours. Node.js is my go-to tool for writing automation scripts.

I think these are some reasons why our mileages differ:

- I need my scripts to work in both Windows and Linux.

- I am not very experienced with bash or other shell.

- Most of my "automation work" only involves reading text from a file, transform it, and write to another file. (Generating SQL commands, doing stats about town names, etc.)
It also means that you might not know if the hard work is climbing up or down (towards or away) from the solution.
