And if they're wrong? How do we get a better option if no one is incentivized to experiment because of legal mandates? How can someone even add a new, perhaps better, option if it's illegal to do so?
I have mix feelings. On one hand, this is pretty awesome in the sense more people should have access to different ML easier. But on the other hand, I’m guessing the people who can’t pipe a csv to pandas + scikit will probably neglect important steps like data processing and output interpretation like balanced accuracy vs accuracy.
I was with you until no hydrogen. While it is inefficient in compared to batteries, as long as it is being produced with carbon-neutral energy then there are areas where its kWh/kg ratio and comparatively rapid refilling are extremely beneficial.
That makes sense. My "I'm not interested in arguing" wasn't directed to you per se, but to any who might be interested in responding argumentatively.
It was their friend obviously.
another way to rephrase that is "if you choose not to work, you will stay in prison for longer." sounds pretty coercive to me!

> I'd recommend people take the simple approach of using async/await at the application layer and only change that approach if profiling demonstrates that it's becoming a performance bottleneck.

Despite some of the things I presented in my original comment, I absolutely agree with this. There are only a few extreme cases where async/await simply can't get the job done. These edge cases are usually explicitly discovered up front. It's rare to accidentally stumble into one of these ultra-low-latency problem spaces in most practical business applications.

Because the way it was phrased might imply that Proton had always been logging all IPs, despite their claim, when in reality the breach was of a much smaller scope than that. They only logged IPs for a particular user after a particular legal demand was made, and not otherwise (as far as I know).
The .NET runtime has a threadpool with local/software threads that share the workload. The Tasks (from async operations) are spread across this threadpool, although depending on many factors (how quick it finishes, overall load, etc) they might just run on the same thread anyway.

I think the article which yours is based on is attacking a bit of a straw-man, at least now that 5 years have passed. The original complains of needing to write an application-specific API in addition to a general-purpose API but techniques like Redux/Sagas or GraphQL have helped to build that "Application Specific" data-layer in the frontend on top of general APIs. Now-a-days you query that general API and build your application-specific data layer in the browser before rendering that to HTML using React or a similar framework.

In this new world, sending Hypermedia instead of JSON over the wire is still a very compelling idea (why send JSON and make the browser process it?) but maybe it would be best to explore how to accomplish that from within a React-Server-Side-Rendering layer instead of pushing that logic all the way down to the Backend-API layer.

It's not that there are different contexts, it's that with particular identity groups, the "rules" for that context vary so much over time (and context) as well.

For most of the 90's saying black was "wrong" in favor of African American. Now we've gone full circle, and the same people who made a sour-face at black 25 years ago are capitalizing it.

That's probably the most benign, easy case. Of course ML can't keep up with loaded-terms and slurs; most people can hardly keep track of it all.

It's not just the tying of ones online identity to their real life identity that would mitigate this issue though. It's the fact that if a punishment is doled out (voice comms restricted for hate speech, or a ban issued for cheating), then you could be certain that the person isn't just going to register a new account and keep doing it, because the barrier of registering a new account would be so much higher (having to prove your identity to my theoretical reputation service).

One thing we don't alwayd consider is that the free market always adjusts. So trading and the stock market without insider trading regulations may not look anything like what we have now. It may not even exist.

E.g. If I knew it to be trivial to manipulate stocks and gain from it using insider knowledge I'd be a lot less inclined to participate or put my capital into such a machine. For all we know some weird market may form around such knowledge.
Then your comment would make more sense as a response to the OP.

If anything it seems like you would agree that in the absence of evidence humility is appropriate.

You can inspect or easily get the decryption keys traffic on devices you control such as your PC or your Web Browser. If you control the OS but not the applications you choose to run set up an explicit proxy and inspect there. On devices you don't control the OS or applications of (of which includes other people's devices anyways) the choice of HTTP or HTTPS doesn't change anything as the device/application always has the ability to make payloads opaque they just won't be authenticated at the protocol layer in the case of HTTP. Not using HTTPS for the traffic you do control does not impact traffic you don't control it just leaks more information about you and opens more attack vectors.

The most common cases of MitM are actually service providers, both with HTTP and DNS, typically to serve ads or sell telemetry. Individually targeted attacks are important but lower on the list in terms of real world impact at the moment.

Outside of the falsehood that you need HTTPS to conceal exfiltration of information for apps you don't control how is HTTPS enabling you to become incredibly vulnerable to other attack vectors?

The claim made is "under undisclosed SEC investigation", not "has already been convicted".

A FOIA response of this nature indicates there's some level of investigation occurring, or they couldn't use that reason and would have to find another reason to deny it.

Popular VPS hosts like Digital Ocean, Linode, etc are all going to smack you down if you do anything remotely fishy on their networks. They have to have a pretty good idea of what's happening with their VPS systems, and I've seen them (DO/Linode) smack down everything from specific VPN connections to web scraping.

If you're going to use a VPS for anything remotely sketch you probably don't want to go with a reputable provider - they're reputable for a reason.

> How many man-hours were spent by your manager and staff ignoring the test suite?

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Ignoring the test-suite isn't something that you spend time doing. It was 6ish weeks with a team of 8ish people, so you could say "48 man-weeks" were spent ignoring it, but they were doing other things in that time, not just sitting at their desk proclaiming "I'm ignoring this test."

Once the manager forced someone to fix the test it took less than one man-day to find the bug, and about 5 minutes to fix the bug once it was found.
Thanks, I see. That does seem totally unnecessary and potentially harmful.
My understanding is that doping in sports is largely a solved problem at this point. I believe I have to submit biological samples witch are preserved indefinitely.

True, because the alternative is being locked in your cell 23 hours per day.

In any case, using slave labor for profit is morally abhorrent. It creates very negative societal incentives, and it allows keeping the overall labor rate lower. I'd happily fight fires in CA or elsewhere, if the price is right.

As a funny aside - if the current Bundestag is 709 seats... where the hell are they planning to fit all these chairs?

Presumably China has also convicted it's forced labor of some crimes as well.

Regardless of what the laws are, I believe that prison labor is a bad practice with big ethical issues—it incentives incarceration as a means to procure cheap/free labor that can be used to turn a profit for those in power.

EDIT: To clarify: I don't think giving prisoners an option to work is a bad thing, but nobody should be allowed to profit off of such labor other than the prisoner themselves. Anything else tends to lead towards undesirable incentives and outcomes.
One of the weaknesses of the German system is that people cannot express their preference on the Liste. So whatever sequence of the Liste candidates the parties decide, in that sequence they obtain the mandates.

In Czechia, you can circle up to four candidates on the list as your preference. As a result, several important politicians flew out of the parliament even when they were #1 or #2, because people from lower ranks outcompeted them.

Parties hate this one weird trick... but fortunately cannot agree on abolishing it.
The average compensation for a member of the board of directors at an S&P 500 company is ~$300,000/year. Goldman Sachs pays ~$600,000/year. Senators and Representatives are paid $174,000/year.

I consider decision-making for the United States far more important than that of any one company in the S&P 500. Therefore, to be competitive, members of Congress should be paid at least twice what they are paid now.

Looks like you have to do a bit of tinkering to ensure it stays free of systemd. Same with Debian, which I use with SysV init. But it took a couple of hours tweaking to switch - perhaps one of the other inits might have been easier to switch to.

A lot of the time, CICO sucks people are using some other metric that, for them, ends up being basically a proxy for calories. I think similarly, when people totally change their diet (going low carb or keto or whatever), it basically amounts to a wholesale reevaluation. The end result of that will generally be eating less calories.

To me, all of this is basically fine. If someone finds an effective way to trick themselves into eating fewer calories, that's still a win.

I'm referring here to people who are themselves losing weight, not the hucksters.

Rigorous, fact-based scrutiny is "brazen"? Ridiculous. Is this Reddit, or HN?

Please stay on topic: where are your primary sources that don't have a massive Conflict of Interest? It's okay to admit you don't have any.
Yes, unfortunately there is significant douchebaggery at SO.

If you want to really rile the jagoffs up, suggest that nobody be able to downvote your content anonymously.
My guess:

The problem is one of discrete values. You are asking about "a boy", but there are no "a boy"s. There are only fractions of boys. The total sum of "boy fractions" is the same, but the number of pairs of "boy fractions" that meet the distinction of "a boy" changes. "A boy" does not vanish because there were never "a boy"s in the first place.

One might have better luck with "boy heads", and you can see that at roughly 5 oclock there is a "boy head" that turns into a "boy arm". So part of the trick is that some of the "boy fractions" change in your interpretation. Without the trick, you would reasonably say, "Wait, there is still a boy head there! So there are still 13 boys!"
The simplicity of a SAFE derives from the simplicity of contracting with a C-corp. If there's no C-corp, it's not simple. You would definitely want your lawyer to review it.

So it seems like a Catch-22.

But to me, it is a good test for potential investors. You want an investor who wants to make a SAFE happen and who knows how to do it...one with a track record of working with companies in exactly your situation.

It's your first rodeo. It should not be your investor's.

One big reason to use a SAFE is to protect the founders from personal liability...and that's one reason for the C-corp in general.

The other reason for the C-corp is to accept investment premised on equity growth. If an investor doesn't want returns primarily on equity growth, then they are not suited for investing in startups (in the narrow sense of "startup"). Most investors are not suited for startup investing.

The real question is is your business a startup in the narrow sense?

Good luck.
The decision happened before Loom came to be.

It is yet another example of impedance mismatch from guest languages, when the platform moves into another direction.

I do something quite similar, so I'll memorize certain references like where in a book/movie/source something is, and what it is.

Then, sometimes years later, I might be working on a problem or discussing something and not only do I have the topic in mind, I also remember the exact place I found it.

Maybe this is due to the rote memorization techniques I practice in my youth as a Indian kid, by age 6 I know my times tables to 30x12.

My colleagues also think its funny that I remember IDs, because they'll be fishing in their history for some ticket or article, and I'll just recall the url or item ID.
Don't do comprehensive E2E tests. Have a small set of E2E tests to verify the most critical functionality is working. Don't verify every single business rule. There are other techniques that help you reduce risk:

- Good unit and integration tests.

- Effective Monitoring and alerting.

- Canary releases or Blue/Green releases.

- Continuous integration.

- Continuous delivery.

- Ability to safely rollback the more recent release.
> If tether went belly up what would happen is everyone would sell their tether for BTC and other cryptos (whatever they can get into) and you would have the largest squeeze of all time

What squeeze could there possibly be? No one is forced to deliver anything here so there is absolutely nothing to be squeezed.

now you may get some people willing to buy tether at 10 cents on the dollar but that would only continue to force down the price of tether as you exhaust the very small amount of tether buyers.

Who do you see being squeezed here?
Just look at what a long thread your comment has spawned below. And most, if not all, of these comments have nothing to do with the topic the article is about.

It's not just a lack of appreciation for jokes, it actively hijacks the conversation and, as a reader, I have to now start collapsing whole threads and hunting and pecking to get back on topic.

And here I am adding to the mess I'm complaining about...

I appreciate a good joke and there are definitely appropriate ways to slip one in on HN but this is not one of those and I'd say it's less about it being a joke and more about it being off-topic.

Edit: Just to add to this, I just refreshed the page and the majority of the comments here are now replies to the PP about SD and another, similar, joke about how the article must be referring to the NVidia kernel driver. Actual comments about TFA are minimal and the whole post seems to just have been completely taken over by content that's not relevant to the discussion.

I'm gonna be honest -- I don't entirely understand what you're trying to say. Are you implying that the work needs to be paid for it get done? Of course that's the case, and open source embedded libraries can and do make plenty of money through consulting without having to annoy the customer with per-architecture and/or per-product licensing, and without having to hire salespeople to convince customers that that's necessary.
