Ridiculously Huge Numbers
This is super exciting! I've been exploring this space of collaborative music editing too (and will shameless plug a multiplayer piano roll DAW I worked on [1]) and had some thoughts.

1. When collabing with friends it was slow for us to iterate because we (and a lot of people) just send files back and forth. It was hard to sketch things out without having some other kind of whiteboard. Of course others who can communicate musical ideas better through words probably would handle this a lot better.

2. Multiplayer editing was really fun in comparison. The magical moment is when you're working on some section and you listen to the song again and you realize someone else has added something on top of what you were doing earlier. It's like the song has taken on a life of its own.

3. Even with multiplayer it's still hard to coordinate and you can't get around planning even with rich tools. If the song was gonna be serious and not just doodles, we usually had to voice-chat to discuss what'll go in each section, then sorta divvy up parts. I guess the upshot is that even with the ability to be 'maximally' present with others, many people, myself included, work best with some amount of private creative freedom.

When I jammed in a bigger group, flows like relays or Monsquaz swap [2] that gave people that freedom, then at specific moments let them intermingle, seemed to work best for getting something out at the end. (If it was a free-for-all people usually ended up doing their own thing in some measures they staked for themselves out in the roll. Or otherwise people just spammed meme songs like Megalovania everywhere.)

But in this case the Facebook board (which has a fiduciary duty to the company, not to Zuck) paid $5B when the BATNA had them pay $100M. The extra money bought the company nothing; the only benefits were to Zuck and Sandberg personally, which makes the $4.9B undeclared income -- if they didn't disclose it as part of their compensation on the relevant SEC documents and W2s, it's tax and securities fraud. And hence this lawsuit.
Last night I was chatting to my girlfriend (who works as a CAD designer in textile industry) about Logo! Like the author of this post, Logo was my first language, and I was really excited to draw squares and cubes and rocket ships, between the ages of 7 and 9. I had a lot of fun experimenting with the audio frequency generation as well, composing some basic songs (odetojoy, auclairdelalune, frerejaque).

Years later, when I was 26, I got to use Logo again! I wanted to draw a time-proportional train map of Taiwan. The distance between each point on the map corresponds to the time it takes a local train to travel that far. It made more sense to do that in Logo than in any other language. So I rewrote a basic Logo implementation in JavaScript and called it TurtleSheet :)

I hope that some teachers will see the potential of empowering kids, by giving them real-world data like public transport times, and getting some real designs out. If I saw something drawn by a 9 year old here on Hacker News, I'd definitely upvote it. (I don't support it as child labour, but if they like Logo and want to do something useful with it, that's one idea)

Depends on the state. For instance, NY is below.

Those taxes are a percentage based on the value of your home. It's real estate taxes. No one considers this "income" and is not taxed as such. If you want a wealth tax, you can do something like this. But let's not play games and say I "made" 100k because my house appreciated 100k and I'm somehow skirting taxes by not paying taxes on that 100k. It's incredibly dishonest to say people with unrealized capital gains "made income" and they're getting preferential tax treatment on that "income"

> Reassessment and its effect in property taxes

> Conducting a reassessment does not mean that your assessment or your taxes will automatically increase. Your taxes may increase, decrease or stay the same.

> Over time, market value of properties change. The value of some properties may increase, while the value of some properties may decrease. Frequent reassessments ensure that your property is assessed based on current market values, rather than on market values from 20 years, like the example.

> If your assessment increase, it doesn't mean that your taxes will automatically increase. If the increase in your assessment is less than the average increase, your taxes will actually decrease. For example:

> If, your assessment increased by 12% and the average assessment increase was 15%, then your taxes will decrease (assuming your school and municipal budgets remain stable and the tax levies do not increase)

I think you're conflating ethics/morals with legality. Something that is legal, by definition, is not extralegal. Civil asset forfeiture is legal, and is therefore not extralegal.

> We live in a country where the authorities can confiscate cash when they see it without reason and consequence. That, to my eyes, is extralegal.

No, it's not, because it is, unfortunately, legal. "Your eyes" aren't really relevant here; the law is what matters.

> Whether the law gives them this de-facto power is beside the point

No it's not; "legal" and "extralegal" mean specific things. You can't just redefine them to mean whatever you want.
But you clicked! And that’s what’s important.

This series is pretty nifty. It's starting point is the simple, child-like curiosity about big numbers. Numberphile has videos on Graham's Number[1], the insanely larger TREE(3)[2], and even Rayo's Number[3] which might be at the limit of describable large finite numbers.

However, this post's series dives into the gory details of how one even encounters such insane large numbers and where large finite numbers touch on deep mathematics. It's fascinating how such a simple starting point can quickly lead into deep questions.

I hope you enjoy!

I disagree. The most interesting bits for me were the examples of application where things differed from my expectation. Construction checklists that included items of the form "Person A talks to person B" is the example that comes readily to mind.

The worst thing about the book is all the self-congratulatory back patting, but I think that's comparably present in the article. I still often recommend the book.
It's not obvious whether AWS internal operation cost of Graviton instance is cheaper than Intel/AMD instance. I believe it's cheaper in AWS scale, but I also think they tactically reduce profit margin for Graviton instances, to negotiate Intel/AMD to cut down price.
> When a person has made more money for shareholders than 99.999995% of people in history, it's an extraordinary claim that someone else could have made more

That claim is not being made. The question is not whether another CEO could have made money from the start, the question is whether another CEO could have made more money from the point at which Facebook paid billions to shield Mark Zuckerberg. What has he personally done to move the needle that much in the past two years?

I think one of the major reasons tech geeks are mislead by this "productivity" culture is because we make the flawed assumption that our brains work similarly to (silicon) computers in the sense that our performance and output is consistent and independent of tasks performed previously.

If we can perform Action X in 2 days, then we should be able to perform 100x Action X in 200 days.

The reality, which I learned the hard way, is that you just can't extrapolate like that. Performing Action X could create a massive spike in cortisol that quite literally drives you (partially) insane in a matter of weeks and renders you nearly completely unproductive until you stop (and then you remain unproductive for a couple of months after that). Maybe Action X is dull, and performing it long term makes you genuinely depressed (and again, unproductive). Maybe it's engaging, but makes you question your morals and leads you to a moral crisis.

This doesn't even scratch the surface of the time-and-motion level optimisations found in the article.

Truthfully, I think the best way to be a productive being, if that's your goal, is to listen to your emotional warning signs (sense of meaningless, long-term unhealthy stress, perpetual exhaustion, long stretches of boredom etc.) and change your routines in response.

The device claims to have 97% of reading within 15% of the Freestyle Libre, which itself is then not as accurate as blood glucose.

Put another way, it’s less accurate than a device that’s already less accurate than finger sticks.

Trying to automate these types of systems always runs the risk of targeting innocent players. Because of the TF2 bots I stick to community servers located in my country and add regular players on there to my friends list. That’s the problem with valve owned servers; you cannot visit the same lobby regularly and have a rapport with other players.

Arkisys Unveils First Component for Its Port
I can't believe it'll take the EU version of an act of congress to force Apple to ditch the low-performance lightning ports. I hope Apple doesn't try an end run around this by going to purely wireless charging, which is the only way they could do worse than what they have with lightning ports.

That’s fair. Is that what links without Unicode support does? (Ignore all byte sequences it doesn’t recognize.) Also, I’d still love to know why you prefer stripping out non-ASCII characters — does this sentence become more readable to you with the em dash omitted?

This is amazing. I cannot wait to only need USB-C cables and nothing else.

I'm curious about Github as something on that list that needs a better open soutce front end.

I'm sure github could be improved but personally don't have any specific suggestions.
The Dexcom G6 is the best CGM on the market, but its sensor filtering (Kalman or particle?) has smoothness and/or continuity priors that cause persistent inaccuracies.

I observe these persistent inaccurate states on the fifth or sixth day using a sensor. Calibration doesn't help. The reading goes wrong and stays wrong.

It probably happens to you, too, but anyone who doesn't test with a glucometer will likely not notice the failure. You will be harmed by these inaccuracies. Persistent inaccuracy is different than the Gaussian (normal) error of a glucometer, which is far more benign.

Also, CGMs are slow. The reading is based on interstitial fluid and lags direct blood glucose test by 15 minutes or more.

I have completely abandoned the Dexcom G6 and have gone back to 16x daily finger stick blood testing. I am also on a low-carb/high-fat diet, which makes it easy to maintain normal human blood glucose. My HbA1c has been 4.9 for a decade.

I was overjoyed to use the CGM at first, but it turned out to be a net loss. If you want to control your diabetes, use a glucometer and adhere to a strict low-carb/high-fat (ketogenic) diet.

> I don't get how taxing "income from stocks" would work.

It eventually boils down to what is the principle underlying that taxation. If the principle is "I need your money and I am going to take it any ways because I am the government" then any logic goes and I feel that is where the current atmosphere is.

The question we should be asking is why should we pay anything to the government. Us government by some estimates spends $24B every single day. This is just spending what took many folks years and lifetimes to earn. What value will the citizens get for every additional dollar that government gets ? My bet is we will get increased regulation, mafia styled politicians and overall misery.

On other hand every extra dollar you leave in the hands of likes of Bezos or Musk will go into fueling more innovation, industry and job. I think it is a terrible idea to tax the very fuel that increases the size of your economy.

I have a first.last@gmail.com and get plenty of legitimate promotional emails, one weakly-passworded credit card statement from an Indian bank each month (whose only support is an Indian phone number which I won't call), and occasional photos of "relatives" from across the world. There are about 3 or 4 people around the world with my name in various professions. I could probably do some nice identity theft if I wanted.

For the promotional stuff it's the report spam and unsubscribe button every time. I've worked in a small business that bothered to do double opt-in signups, so don't waste my time because you can't be bothered due to some vague metrics. It's spam from my POV.

For the rest it depends on my mood. If you have a noreply and it's going to take effort to reach customer service (more than an email), spam. I'm of the opinion I should be able to reply to any email and it's rude to shout at someone and then block your ears, but maybe that's old fashioned.
The AWS cli has much the same problem as the az cli. Especially v2, which bundles the python runtime as well.

Not that that is an excuse for azure of course (or conversely the fact azure does it isn't an excuse for aws).
That's... still pretty terrible.

Let me see if I have this right. A man and woman marry. The woman cheats on the man and gets pregnant, but lies about it and passes the kid off as the husband's child. After the birth, husband is suspicious, gets a paternity test, finds out he's not the father, and divorces the mother. And yet the now-ex-husband is still required to pay for child support?

If that's a thing that happens, that's genuinely awful. That is not something I (or anyone?) would want to legally sign up for; presumably people in those jurisdictions get married without knowing about this.

Well, your public key is not exactly the same as your identity.

Property taxes are also morally wrong. Why should the government be allowed to slowly chip away at my home's value with a tax rate of 2% per year? Similarly, why should the government be allowed to raise taxes revenue by simply declaring that my home's value has increased?
> Why should I move? I don't recall any of these mandates on the ballot, do you? I didn't vote for any of this, did you?

That's up to your discretion that no one else can answer for you.

Agree nobody voted for each state to do what it did in an emergency; but you've got a ton of new data that will suggest how your state's majority wants your state government to act for the remainder of this pandemic and the next pandemic.

There's a term "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." If you chose to ignore the warning signs then don't be surprised about the outcome.

There's also the concepts around - Exit, Voice and Loyalty. By far the easiest is to just exit/leave the group. The alternatives are to remain loyal to the group and voice your discontent in an attempt to change group decision that may have already been made. That can be like beating your head against a brick wall though.

The beauty of diversified approaches being tried within the United States is that 'exiting' becomes just about relocating to a state that is either stricter or less strict as you desire without the hassle of changing citizenship.

I will second this and say split keyboard has largely solved the neck and shoulder pain I’ve had for years. I still get it sometimes but it’s very rare, whereas it was very frequent before I converted to split keyboard.

For ease of adjustment I found the Matías Ergo Pro keyboard to be very good.

Before that I tried the Kinesis Freestyle and didn’t like it as much.

Recently I’ve been using a Dygma Raise with Cherry MX Brown switches, and I’m enjoying it as it’s nearly as familiar as the Matías but smaller. I greatly miss the arrow keys though.

I have to say this two keyboard hack is pretty clever. What I wish I could buy is almost exactly this: a Mac laptop keyboard split in half. I wouldn’t argue that it has better typing feel etc compared to mechanicals, but I do still work on my laptop some and while I’ve gotten to where I can switch back and forth without being too badly impacted, I still make a lot more mistakes compared to when I exclusively typed on my laptop or other Apple keyboard.
I don’t think my comment was clear enough if that’s your response. This country is not especially corrupt. I agree we should root out and eliminate corruption at home. This article is not an example of corruption.
