I was looking into this recently, but only superficially, so apologies (and please correct me) if I'm mistaken here:

1. Your intro appears a bit misleading in that because 'Certified B-Corp' is just a certification issued by a private entity, companies are 'legally required' to do those things only to the extent that they are 'legally required' to abide by any contractual agreements with the certification entity and any language they put in their bylaws (e.g. to obtain the certification). That's it. Doing the specific things you say is not 'legally required' in the same sense as you are 'legally required' to pay your taxes. Now - some jurisdictions around the world do have laws creating the figures of 'Benefit Corporations' and specifying what they are legally required to do (in the same sense as paying their taxes).

2. In a global context, the US is an outlier in its cult of shareholder primacy and fiduciary duty. So much so that I read that in US jurisdictions, the reasoning for Benefit Corp legislation is to protect management in case any of these 'good deeds' are viewed as deliberately failing to maximize shareholder value. Frankly that seems a bit far-fetched unless there is something demonstrably egregious or shareholders are being misled (you don't see shareholders suing over companies going carbon-neutral, offering employees snacks or refraining from price-gouging). But, in any case, in other countries it is acceptable and even expected (in a few it might even be required) for companies in general to benefit various classes of stakeholder - customers, employees, etc.

3. B-Corp Certification doesn't really have many hard & clear requirements - it's that fluffy language + audits. Frankly, sounds like a recipe for bureaucracy.

4. I had come to the exact same conclusion as another commenter here - that if your objective is to be part-for-profit-part-do-gooder, you'd be much better-off having an objective target. E.g. 10% of net profit will be given to charity. That would just plug into your regular financial audit (and above that, you could have someone just checking to make sure the charities aren't related parties or fronts for cost-centres). If it helps, you could have NGO's promoting and certifying this type of company too like for B-Corps. My suggestion would be T-Corp as in T for Tithe, though I wonder whether the Christian connotations might put people off.
also the value data structure is way to beneficial for postgres.
the value should be a string and change in size and if the value changes more table bloat is occured so that a fillfactor might be a good idea. also most cache at least support a ttl which might be even worse for postgres on the query side since it needs to evaluate the expiration date on the client side while redis supports that directly.

It's unfortunate. Some of his guests are quite interesting. I appreciated him having Abby Martin on the show.

I have no idea why covid is such a popular topic on podcasts. Do people actually like hearing more about it, don't they already hear about it every day?
Citizen Data Science Conference (free link)
MIT hosted, in person in Cambridge and online
Companies give Google and friends free unfettered access to your highly specific usage data that can be used to uniquely identify you, all without your consent or knowledge, and no way to opt out. In exchange, said companies get metrics on how well their ads are doing.

It's ingenious. The incentives are set up entirely against you. The people who know and care the least about privacy decide what to do with your data, and they are enticed to hand it over by the promise of tracking ad spend, i.e. the promise of making their jobs easier and of making their success quantifiable.
Joe Rogan leans left in the same way someone that starts their sentences with “I’m not rasist, but …” aren’t racists. It’s just a rhetorical device to convince you that they don’t believe in labels, and then they immediately use their actions and words to demonstrate that they fit the textbook description of the label.

> They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.
I guess that's on you for attempting to conceptually limit the the wellspring of internet angst 4chan, incel, reddit, and twitter have become.
> ... intuitive constructions like "almost all real numbers are outside the closed unit interval 0 <= x <= 1".

But that would be wrong wouldn't it? I can produce all real numbers by pairing a finite number of (in this case 3) real numbers outside the set with each real number inside the set.

For each real x, in 0 <= x <= 1, we also have:

1/x (covers all real x, 1 <= x <= +infinity

-x (covers all real x, -1 <= x <= 0

-1/x (covers all real x, -infinity <= x <= -1)

The cardinality of all those reals outside of 0 <= x <= 1 is therefore 3x the cardinality of those inside 0 <= x <= 1, in this construction. But for infinite cardinalities the 3 can be discarded.

So there are exactly as many real numbers in 0 <= x <= -1 as outside it.

Really cool resources (esp msreads). Thank you! To clarify, while teacher budgets for SaaS tools and even core education materials are 100% pretty limited, for low income schools, the federal Title 1 budget funding helps compensate for local principals to adopt programs like ours by allocating chunks of budget to help schools that need it most. Again, still learning as we grow.

> the sum of all the elements

The comment chain I was responding to is about the claim that neuralhash is broken so the system is dangerous.

This claim has been repeated multiple times in this forum. Indeed it is one of the loudest two arguments against the system and is simply false.

The sum of elements which are false is still false now matter how many you have.

It’s certainly not universally true that scanning the device goes against the wish of the users. There are many users who are quite happy to have their devices scanned if it is part of making life harder for child abusers. I have spoken to such people.

Therein lies the problem. This system really doesn’t do anything harmful, and it really does just make the tool less useful for collecting child pornography.

There is no simple argument against it, hence all of the misrepresentations about its purported technical problems.

I strongly dislike the feature, and would rather they don’t do it.

My arguments are that I don’t want to be, even in principle, suspected of something I haven’t done. And that trust should be mutual. If Apple wants me to trust them, I want them to trust me.

I don’t see how we help make the world better by using false narratives about technical issues to get what we want.

> So basically you're saying "they lied but it's OK because it was a well-intentioned lie".

That's not at all what GP said. Try re-reading it:

>> health authorities told people not to use masks at first because ... Hospitals were in danger of running out of protective equipment.

That is in no way lying.
I don't dispute that. I just don't like huge corporations in other countries acting like the criminal justice where I live.
I don’t have children in part because I grew up with a single mom on tight finances. Having enough economic security and a decent childhood to willfully have children is also a privilege (I’m perhaps naively assuming abortion is legal.)
Saladino isn't so much a zealot as he is a salesman. He's building a personal brand and business around being the contrarian carnivore guy. He wants you to buy his books, buy his supplements (which cost as much as $68 per bottle for trivially cheap ingredients), and sign up for his newsletter so he can pitch you more stuff.

He may actually believe what he's pitching, but he's so drowning in financial conflicts of interest and personal brand-building that I don't think he could accept contradictory evidence from anyone. He only sees what he wants to see because that's how he makes his money and builds his fame.

It's fascinating to see him cited by the grandparent comment because Saladino is a notorious quack among the actual nutrition communities, including keto communities. He presents himself as a doctor but conveniently forgets to mention that he's a psychiatrist. He cherry-picks citations from papers that he knows listeners won't actually read and then presents them out of context.

And most of all, he sells his brand and products hard, which should be a huge red flag for anyone being delivered this uniquely contrarian information that defies mainstream medical science. It's fascinating that this person concluded he's an expert in the field simply because he was on the Joe Rogan podcast. I suppose that is the problem with the JRE podcast: Too many of the listeners think they're equipped to identify the real truth, while Joe Rogan serves up a steady diet of convincing quacks interleaved with actual experts.
I stay away from political poo-slinging on my main account. I'm tired of these threads to be honest, it's like a script that plays out and that's why I'm saying to flag this kind of speech. Go ahead and find something else to pin on me please.

Yes, we get it, "non-non-profits make profit" (news at 11). You missed the forest for the trees here buddy boy. The reason why the OP was flagged was because it was inviting a certain kind of rhetoric which seems to allude that these companies are going to try to prolong the pandemic (or make it seem "worse" in some way) for profit gain because "money."

We are trying to get through the pandemic and it's hard enough to get people vaccinated. And now this nonsense on HN. We get it - you're woke and us plebs are completely unaware these companies are charging for their products (wow - shock and awe!), and you want to point out some conflict of interest. Except you're doing in such a negative way that it's absolutely obvious there's a political slant here. Just give it up.

Ridiculous.
> AstraZeneca are selling their vaccine at cost.

There is a difference between accounting profit (receipts vs outlays) vs economic profit (benefits of doing something vs opportunity cost of doing it).

It is almost tautological that there is nothing to gain for the people involved in the vaccine food chain from limiting the scope of the government-cajoled "market" for them but acknowledging that natural immunity does exist and is stronger than what the vaccine-provided protection.

Therefore, the statement:

>> SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021.

> "There is, of course, no profit or gold-plated post civil "service" career in big pharma or book deals associated with acknowledging this."

does not refer to the balance sheet of AstraZeneca or any other company. It refers to the prospective incentives of people involved in the vaccine food chain.
I have definitely enjoyed parts of his show a lot, but I genuinely think him becoming less influential (which I don't quite buy) is a good thing societally.

What I mean, that surveillance system is trivial to implement. (What the most are using as argument in here)

This system is genius in terms of maintaining the user privacy and locking Apple out of your files. That is something that most refuse to see. They have invested a lot.
I think the appeal is that commercial vendors mostly won’t build for playdate because the market will be small. So it will be a real auteur community.

That's a 3rd party developer problem, not Apple problem. It's like blaming GM for not making leaded gasoline for your 1950s car.
It's essentially a perfect description of a clash between a rather hardcore technical community with some academic/student background and a typical Korean Corporate conglomerate, with the expected end result.

"the problem with the world is that the intelligent are full of doubt and the idiots cocksure". Applies directly to the bold title. Doesn't matter if we are all annihilated of course nobody will remember.
As pointed out elsewhere. It doesn’t matter. NeuralHash collisions don’t break the system.
Yeah. This is a cool factoid, but for this kind of thing I usually just hop over to whatever browser tab is open and hit F12. If it really needs to be in the terminal, I'd reach for Node, or Deno, or JQ if it's anything to do with manipulating or interrogating JSON.
I don’t know anybody who has one to “communicate with Amazon”. They have one to listen to music, make grocery lists, set timers, etc. Who wants to communicate with Amazon?

I’m being downvoted, but the parent comment asked “why would you buy it” and I gave reasons.

I guess people who buy an iPhone do it to communicate with Apple, since people buy apps and Music subscriptions?
Random according to what distribution?

The probability distribution that we all want to define on the real numbers does not exist. And this has non-trivial consequences.
It's the calories that count for obesity, not the "healthiness". It's perfectly possible to maintain a healthy body weight eating chips and drinking soda. Time isn't a factor here, personal responsibility is.
The legislative branch might try to do something but it’d inevitably be tested in our judicial system. We can only speculate how the courts might rule in such cases but in just a philosophical sense there is no argument here.
Except the CDC decided to hang their hat (https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-pr...) on the one published article that claimed to show vaccination was dramatically more efficacious than previous infection, despite that study contradicting multiple, better studies, and despite the study itself admitting in a footnote that the data was exceptionally suspect. Also note how the CDC hedges their bets in the press release, saying that vaccination is better than prior infection alone, which only begs the question.

Here's the rub: is previous infection as good as Moderna? Probably not, especially given the new variants. (Though last year studies were showing infection providing 90%+ immunity.) But nothing is as good as Moderna. (Except maybe Novavax?) Should we require J&J vaccine recipients to be re-vaccinated with Moderna? Nobody is demanding that, though very roughly speaking J&J-level immunity may be about where things stand now for the previously infected.

This seems to be another unforced err by the CDC. Not as bad as some others, but unforced and very politically costly. It also complicates things going forward because it seems we're quickly approaching the point where we'll need to begin requiring a 2nd round of vaccinations. The CDC will need every last shred of credibility and good will left for that initiative. It could have been in a position where it could say, "hey, we tolerated the previously infected skipping vaccination before, but now the situation has changed." Instead, they'll have much less capital to work with.

Coming from someone who grew up during the floppy diskette booting and installing era of computing... what Knoppix managed to do by giving us the LiveCD just still seems like pure black magic fuckery to me. Install an OS from CD? Fine. USING an OS only booting from CD? HOLY SHIT.

Lebanon has a pretty large diaspora outside of the country (and with income in real currencies). And the current government is pretty corrupt.

I would note that these rows have almost no content in them.

In my experience, your cache entries are usually gonna be a ton of pre-serialized bytes or some json blobs -- which could be on the order of kbs or mbs. That'll be where redis/memcached start to really shine.
It's already happenning. Just like adblockers, anything that makes life better for users is actively fought against.
I think for infinitely sized sets this isn't so simple.

For instance, what is the random distribution you are using to select from a set of infinite numbers?

The cardinality of any two intervals of real numbers is the same, regardless of the lengths of the intervals.
The difference is that negative numbers are 1) practically useful, and 2) extremely interrelated with other useful mathematical concepts. We build up an entire system of real (and even complex) algebra.

While with differently-sized infinite sets, the point is that they aren't (to the best of my knowledge) either 1) directly useful or 2) particularly interrelated with anything else. E.g. they're in addition to the set theory used for real and complex analysis -- not a foundation for it.

And so it seems more apt to put the notion of measuring different "sizes" for infinite sets in the same category of, say, quaternions and sedenions. I don't think too many people would say sedenions are "true", just that they're a construction with certain properties. They're not derived from anything, in the way that negative numbers are derived from inverting addition. Yet math textbooks and courses indeed attempt to present the "sizes" of infinite sets as "true" -- as real as negative numbers -- when I still fail to see how they're anything but a relatively arbitrary curiosity like sedenions.
> Their hashing algorithm by nature of being a hashing algorithm will have collisions. That is unavoidable.

Yes, exactly. They themselves state this, and have a mechanism for preventing collisions from turning into false positive matches.

I have to assume you simply didn’t know that.

Your family will not be on the street. A wife will generally divorce before (or at least right after) she is on the street. Welfare will then provide benefits to her and the child.

What will happen is once the wife/kids goes on public benefits, that will initiate the child support order. The judge will create an "imputed income" for you, which is whatever he thinks you should be able to earn. If you were a high income office worker, that dictates your imputed income. You are absolutely fucked if you don't keep earning at that rate, even if the only way to do it is a soul crushing office job. You must make enough to pay about 1/3 of that post-tax all in child support, or you will be in violation of child support. A few months of failure to keep up results in a felony conviction, the revocation of your licenses, seizure of your property, revocation of your passport, and imprisonment. While CS order accrues in jail, the arrears will quickly become insurmountable, and you will never again have any economic chance in the United States. It will never discharge, even in bankruptcy, and debtor's prison will always be in the near horizon.
I believe that we’re working on a similar product that you described. Our metrics layer, metriql, extends dbt for metrics definitions and provides an open-source CLI that serves your metrics to the data tools.

Someone will have tons of antibodies 4-6 weeks later and then experience a drop off. Especially if you’re measuring from the first vaccine dose.

This is literally how the Adaptive immune system works.

Initial adaptive response, production of IgM, Vdj recombination, class switching and global proliferation (especially in the face of a repeated antigen insult), followed by a tone down of B cells as the memory effect is preserved and the antibody titre falls back (antibodies have a half life of 3-4 weeks).

Because (at least currently) the antibody response in humans is non-sterilising (talk of boosters to generate IgA abound, along with a more specific Delta variant vaccine may change this) you can’t equate a titre in humans yet with a ‘level’ of immunity
