"This case reflects our continued use of sophisticated analytical tools to detect, unravel and halt pernicious insider trading schemes that involve multiple tippers, traders, and market events."

Lol, I don't think there's a lot of sophistication in this. They want to make it sound like some sort of powerful magic box they have that can find anyone doing something dubious when in reality this is probably a very simple interesection between two datasets:

The one that contains all the people who yielded profits over X amount when trading the stock of a Y company during a timeframe, and another dataset that contains all the current and former employees of that Y company.

That's the thing about insider trading. People who do it are just complete idiots. They think that they can leverage some assymetry of information when in reality there's no such thing. If you trade the stock of your current or former employer (especially before earnings calls) and yield unrealistic gains you're going to get flagged and someone is going to manually review your shit.
Yea, possibly this plus messaging metadata.
If you are trading on an SEC regulated exchange: https://www.sec.gov/fast-answers/divisionsmarketregmrexchang..., then yes the SEC can see everything.
Please note the four demands the ACLU makes in the publication you linked.

None of them demand that police lists should not exist, or that judicial oversight should be necessary to put a person on one.

Instead, they demand that:

1. The lists be accurate.

2. The lists be accurate.

3. Allowing people to contest them on a case-by-case basis.

4. To not blacklist people from employment based on them.

The ACLU seems to be in agreement with me.
On the surface, this looks like just another "We're using AI to detect X" cash grab. Are you just using image recognition for a novel application or what?
As a solo founder, I'd much rather cross review value propositions than code reviews, because for most cases the code matters very little
I'm not watching a 2-hour video to figure out what you think the distinction between jealousy and envy is. The point is, I'm living the same lifestyle as many other Americans but I'm not sure we can do it forever.

I'm not going to dispute the point about heat pumps more because I don't know enough about them to argue credibly about it. Maybe you're right and it's a perfect solution to the problem.

> What model are you speaking of where they claim electric cars are not viable for the future? (Assuming renewable energy sources and sustainable use of natural resources, etc.)

That assumes away the problem I think. Is it really inconceivable that we're going to start hitting limits to resources, especially if we're doubling down on cars which all have their own large batteries, sprawling asphalt, and all the rest of it? It seems really hard to imagine to me that we're going to chance on technology that makes it just as sustainable for everyone to live in a McMansion and drive an F-150 an hour to work as for people to ride trains or bicycles and live in denser housing. Certainly we could do much better than now before we started to nip at that stuff but I feel like there have to be limits. If it's so easy and we have all the answers I have to wonder why all the kicking and screaming to get there.
I mean, look at the monuments ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s myopic to judge the tech world around mobile apps instead of the decades long capitalizations that can bring mass market super computers into the palm of our hands.

Now compare that to the research interests over the same time-horizon. We still have psychology departments not educating basic cellular biology as a graduation requirement!
Honestly, I would pay for better search and categorization of open DARPA opportunities, as well as notifications when BAAs get released.
No, that happens on Google's servers and is not an agent in my pocket that scans and invades my personal property for evidence of crimes and snitches on me to authorities.
I purchased a pair of S21s when released. They went back in less than 24 hours. The amount of bloat and spyware preloaded was egregious. I posted a write up on Reddit about the experience and it was amazing to see how quickly an army of defenders came to Samsung's side and dismissed all notion of privacy and device ownership in the name of such great hardware. Some were stating that there would be no way for Samsung to turn a profit if it's phones didn't come with software that's uninstallable like Facebook and Samsung's own apps.

Won't ever buy a Samsung device again.
There is clearly capital available for things other than social media.

Setting aside all the biotech IPOs:

"SpaceX has raised a total of $6.6B in funding over 46 rounds. Their latest funding was raised on Jul 30, 2021 from a Secondary Market round."

Searching crunchbase for companies in the energy industry that have raised > $1B returns 24 results, too.
Surveys suggest it's not limited to a few fields. You might be right about fields studying humans though.
Slack's poor calling is baffling to us, and the fact that they are uninterested in making it better is obvious. The quality is so bad, we use google meet for almost everything at the company, even though we would prefer to use the native slack calling.

Its actually easier to use other apps than Slack's own apps.
For example, you can't schedule a recurring slack call that calls all the participants. I would LOVE this feature, if there is a way to add it into slack.
I typically browse in ephemeral sessions and Google has been flickering light and dark for a few weeks.
Nah, the AI ones are better, but look at the variety in the human designs, how the components are direct in their abstraction instead of, well a blob where none of it has real meaning.
Few months ago I was scouring the web for this exact problem and found https://www.satismeter.com/

Pros:
- segment.io integration
- fair pricing
- multi-language support
- easy to use
- email reminders

We started using it for NPS and then gave other surveys a try, can totally recommend!
Exactly. Also people are strongly objecting that their own device is being used to report them to law enforcement. Surely someone at Apple noticed this beforehand ...
I had a similar line of thought in the beginning too. If you google Elm these issues pop up. However after some time posts about it lead back a very limited set of occasions and block posts. Which are either criticizing the leadership style or a few events. I view the leadership as a trade off which ensures a high level and guarantees for the core at the cost of a high barrier. For the fee events, I think we are all humans and make mistakes and usually it is a miss communication between two parts more then a real issue.
For b), I can't see how creating spurious icloud accounts and spoofing it will be hard at it's face. I have made dozens of icloud accounts personally for testing in the past. They may take steps to address this attack vector, it's not an unsolvable problem but it isn't solved by requiring a device or icloud account as far as I can tell.

For c), the problem isn't just trusting Apple, for whom the hashes are somewhat opaque, my understanding is that they are provided by a governmentally regulated third party.
There is an easy way to cast your vote for saying yes to Privacy. Turn off auto-updates and don't update to iOS 15. Spread the word.

> The freaking out about "oh no I gotta write a small library myself" is absurdly overblown here.

Maybe in the context of the parent comment this holds true, but in my experience this is like walking on a knife's edge.

There's the very distinct possibility that you'll end up with homebrew frameworks and libraries that are overcomplicated, buggy, not commented and exceedingly hard to work with. I've seen that happen many times and it makes me consider not just whether people want to do that, not whether people have the time to do that, but even whether it's possible for them to do.

In one project people wanted all of their front end components to be custom and as a consequence spent 3x-5x longer building everything, none of their components were Googleable for someone who's been onboarded and thus people forgot how they even work after 2 weeks of not editing them and had to rediscover that later. I tried adding a component sandbox/playbook to help them provide examples, but no one was interested in doing that when they were already behind the expectations of the business. Picking an off-the-shelf framework would have saved them all of these troubles. Maybe there were actual reasons behind the choice of approaching the project this way, apart from padding their resumes, however after inquiring about those, i didn't get a convincing response.

In another case, i had to work on a custom web back end framework, which had been developed by another company, in a country the language of which i don't speak. Curiously enough, all of their code comments were in this language, there yet again was a lack of any sorts of documentation, the implementation was obtuse, slow and any simple changes to the forms took days to implement properly, even when it would take around 30 minutes in established technologies. Furthermore, the actual framework hadn't received any updates in years and therefore i fear to think what sorts of security issues it had. An off-the-shelf framework would have at least been updated and probably would have more decent documentation.

In short:

- never underestimate the ability of people who lack oversight to make things worse
- frameworks and libraries that are used by thousands of people are probably at least decent
- there's definitely also something to be said about how well tested they are and how known the bugs are
- because of the above, popular technologies seem like a pretty safe bet, as does off-the-shelf code appear to be
- of course, despite all of the above, it's perfectly okay to explore new tech stacks and write your own code, just don't half ass it
Trading information is public (quotes and trades) but the originating person/entity is not, so it would be hard to detect this via the public trade log or quote book since you couldnt see track records or profitability.

That said, the SEC does have access to the full dataset including the person/entity making the trades.
I feel like I'm doing myself a disservice here even responding to you, but pointing out that Hydro is contributing massively to released GHGs isn't lobbying for oil and gas. It's saying that people need to get their head out of the sand if they actually want to positively impact the environment. There are clean energy generating technologies, hydro can be one if done right, in BC and Quebec it wasn't.

That being said, Hydro has a lot of negative externalities even without creating an GHGs, it has poisoned whole ecosystems with mercury for instance, and then there's the impacts on salmon migration.
YUV/YCbCr 420 means that there is one set of chroma samples (Cb+Cr) for each 2x2 block of luma samples (pixels).

Often, the chroma samples fall on pixels in even rows and on even lines. So pixels in odd rows or on odd lines, have to borrow (interpolate) their chroma values from neighbouring pixels.
You could have a language that offers both in different parts of the program. Just like Rust has an "unsafe" keyword, you could have a "garbage_collected" keyword or a "functional" keyword.
The difference between this project and a digital photo frame is as you’ve described - The AI generation. I think the destruction makes it special too, if every unique image disappears forever at the click of a button.
Ask HN: Should I give up and settle career wise?
My career thus far has been a dud. Always underpaid (and yes, I mean underpaid) and in orgs with bad/outdated practices. I’ve also always just taken the first thing I can get and always have accepted a less than ideal situation, because I hate the job hunt/interview process so much. I heard about how hot the job market is recently, so I decided to try and see what was out there and maybe straighten my shit out. I also decided to go ahead and actively search for roles as well. I wanted to be a little more stringent this time, not breaking rankin my requirements for roles/pay.

The result has been mostly disappointing. I expected to get a lot more recruiters, but I’ve seen fewer than when I had 2 YoE. Another issue is I’m not happy with the direction of my career. So far I’ve been pigeonholed into a certain category and I don’t want to do this type of work for the next X decades, I’m not sure I can take it. I have a better idea of what I want to do now, and was trying to apply to roles more in line with that. But the simple fact is I’m not qualified for these roles. They’re just so radically different from what I do now, and mostly at senior+ level. I see so many cool jobs and think “shit, I could do this, I’ve been doing stuff like this since forever” but then quickly realize that on paper I haven’t done anything remotely relevant and since these are senior level roles there’s just no point in applying. On the occasion I see a role that look interesting that I believe I can spin my past experience to look reveling for, I get very quickly screened out with a generic ATS rejection. There doesn’t seem to be a way to win. Side projects don’t make up for experience in senior level roles and don’t fit on a resume in any manner that someone would read. The one option seems to be doing some serious open source work in a project in the domains I’m interested in, but that would end up being a second career on its own.

Similarly majority of the recruiters I get are recruiting for roles that basically just land me in the same type of roles I’ve worked in the last, maybe with better pay. I don’t really want to take a role like this, as it’s still likely to end up paying lower than what I was targeting and will just stagnate me further. At the same time, I could use the pay raise which would still be a good 30%-40% above what I make now. There probably won’t be a ton of room for growth, both lay wise or otherwise, without moving into management. I’m just worried that if I do this, I’ll end up permanently entrenching myself in this type of work and kill any remote chance at getting a role more aligned to my goals.
> namely that the AMP validation rules are not open source. Here is the code

Yes. That's the trick big corps play on you. They develop some code, and push it to GitHub.

- all of the decisions where the code is going belong to the corp

- all (or at the absolute vast majority) of contributions come from the corp's developers

- there's little to no insight into why things are the way the are. Sometimes you can be big enough to gain acces, or important enough. Before "open governance" it was some publisher group set up by Google that was supposedly there to monitor

But sure, it's open source.

> Pull Requests are accepted from anyone and those changes land in Google production

1. What's the ratio of PRs from Google employees to those from "anyone"?

2. Indeed. They land in Google production. The company with $183 billion in yearly revenue thanks you for your unpaid contributions (if they ever make it)

---

BTW, there are 1 500 open issues in that repo. Quite a lot for some validation rules.
Yeah. Reminder: if you witness something of this sort consider using the SEC Whistleblower Office (http://sec.gov/whistleblower). You'll get 10% - 30% of the collected fines, and there's a cottage industry of lawyers that will compile the case for you (or tell you that you don't actually have a good case, which I heard is actually common).
So that's a no then. ;0P
some people in afghanistan want the taliban yes,

the mainy problem in afghanistan is the fact that not many people feel a common sense of being an afghani. The country is extremely decentralised and rural. Most people only look at their villages and community, not at the bigger picture.
ok, within a local populace, what does the taliban version have on Afghanistan vs an extremist Christian group in a western country.

the reference was uncalled for.
It appears that article say the source being urine waste of women taking birth control pills is debunked, it says nothing about the long-term health impacts of drinking water being contaminated with estrogen or what the sources of the other 99% of estrogens found in drinking water are. So while the causal link may be false, the underlying claim is still a concern.

It's actually a massive problem in the West, especially the US, that the average person is exposed to tons of endocrine disruptors in the food and water supply, everything from estrogens in the water to plasticizers in your food wrappings on your take out or in the store.
> That's the thing about insider trading. People who do it are just complete idiots.

This is selection bias. The people who get CAUGHT doing it are complete idiots.
It’s somewhat laughable to say he worked on alchemy and theology and that got no where, while we are discussing him and his accomplishments 400 years later. Alchemy is an esoteric inner journey. Ramanujan was by all accounts a one of a kind genius. Just from wiki ‘Ramanujan credited his substantial mathematical capacities to divinity, and said the mathematical knowledge he displayed was revealed to him by his family goddess Namagiri Thayer’. Belief systems can be very powerful or destructive to ones own accomplishments

Interactive fiction is not to be confused with MUDs though. Both are a subset of text based adventures. Typical IF is more of a single-player closed system with linear progression while MUDs are open world, multiplayer (but still text-based) systems.
I'm also one of BrainTool's early adopters. After being unimpressed with OneTab and SessionBuddy, this is fabulous. Thanks Tony!
> CSV uses decimal representations of numeric data, which means you are getting 3.5 bits of data for every 8 bits of storage space (and that's assuming you are using a reasonably compact text encoding... if you are using UTF-16, it's 16 bits). Using a binary representation you can store 8 bits of data for every 8 bits of storage space.

XML, JSON, and YAML all have this issue, too.

> CSV uses a variety of date-time formats, but a prevalent one is YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine whether that is as compact as an 8-byte millis since the epoch value.

This is also identical to XML, YAML and JSON.

And I know what you're about to argue, but JSON's datetime format is not in the spec. The common JSON datetime format is convention, not standard.

> CSV also requires escaping of separator characters, or quoting of strings (and escaping of quotes), despite ASCII (and therefore UTF-8) having a specific unit separator character already reserved. So you're wasting space for each escape, and effectively wasting symbol space as well (and that's ignoring the other bits of space for record separators, group separators, etc.).

This is also identical to XML (escaping XML entities, sometimes having to resort to CDATA), YAML (escaping dashes) and JSON (escaping double quotes).

All you've shown is that CSV has the same limitations that XML, YAML, and JSON have, and those three formats specifically designed and intended for data serialization. Yes, the other formats do have other advantages, but they don't eliminate those three limitations, either.

This is for data serialization, which means it's going to potentially be used with data systems that are wholly foreign separating great distances or great timespans. What data serialization format are you comparing CSV to? What do you think CSV is actually used for?

Are you arguing for straight binary? You know that CSV, XML, YAML and JSON all grew out of the reaction to how inscrutable both binary files and fixed width files were in the 80s and 90s, right? Binary has all sorts of lovely problems you get to work with like endianness and some systems getting confused if they encounter a mid-file EOF. If you don't like the fact that two systems can format text differently, you're going to have a whole lot of fun when you see how they can screw up binary formatting. Nevermind things like, "Hey, here's a binary file from 25 years ago... and nothing can read it and nobody alive knows the format," that you just don't get with plain text.

Yes, you do end up with a wasted space, but the file is in plain text and ZIP compression is a thing if that's actually a concern.
> Upon visual inspection, your 'legal porn' is going to have to at least look passably like image 105 of the dataset to get anywhere.

Define "get anywhere". Why won't you get raided by the police and have all your devices seized first?
Compare it to the hot takes on the voter ID issue.

Never mind that PoC vaccination stats are dwarfed by white people (with good historical reasons) thus de facto segregating them from everyday life.

I’m against both as a concept BTW but my opinion is moot as a non-American.

This is great. I switched my renderer from OpenGL to wgpu for my engine and I cannot exaggerate how much better the error reporting is. Instead of "working incorrectly" or simply not working and providing a vague error code (like OpenGL), wgpu tells me exactly what I did wrong, which is a life saver.

Also - types. Thanks wgpu team!
It’s almost as if your government wants to punish you for living abroad.

On the plus side, America accepts dual citizenship and Germany(where I’m from) accepts not, unless I apply for a special permit to retain German citizenship before acquiring another citizenship.
I'm a big fan of 'The Big Sleep', Kubrick & Lynch. I also enjoy nonfiction literature that dumps you in the middle of the story. I find encountering unfamiliar words, characters, etc. interesting, and the extra work to figure out the context is satisfying. My wife, on the other hand, hates that sort of thing, such that I recognize there are works I cannot recommend to her, or movies we can only watch with my finger on a pause button, ready to explain. She's not dumb, but she certainly has less appreciation or patience to put up with that sort of thing.
This assumes that it's impossible to reverse the perceptual hashes used here in such a way that you could determine poses and coloration, for one.

And in retrospect, you don't need to match that - you just need it to appear obviously pornographic after the blur is applied in order to get past Apple's reviewers. After that, the lucky individual's life is in the hands of the police/prosecutors. (I have to imagine that both real and faked cases will look pretty much like "Your honor/members of the jury, this person's device contained numerous photos matching known CSAM. No, we won't be showing you the pictures. No, the defence can't see them either." Can you imagine a "tough on crime" prosecutor taking the faked case to trial too? Would the police and prosecutors even know it was faked?)
Any idea on retail pricing, e.g. is there a comparable model to RealSense? There's no obvious "Buy" button on the site.

That may be best practice, I'm not sure. Regardless, you can imagine as a result of that style of coding, any changes to the type of your components state will require at least some changes within the component, changes to one or more of those layers of action handlers, and a change to the initial/default instance of your applications model.

I'm absolutely not an authority on Elm architecture, I just know that my experience doing stuff like forms with validation really sucked.
