Policies are indeed hard, but there are basic principles to follow, like the right to due process before one is deprived of liberty or property. And having your property taken away and forcing you to file legal proceedings to get it back, with no interest paid for the intervening time, is very definitely being deprived of property.

Let's take a different case: Duterte in the Phillippines. "We know who's a drug dealer, so the police can just kill them. Yeah, maybe a few innocent people will get killed, but hey, small price to pay."

Is that too extreme? What if the police just rounded up people they thought were drug dealers and jailed them, putting the burden of proving their innocence on them?

"Innocent until proven guilty" - that's the policy that you cannot violate.
Here is a much less tricky version: A car’s dimensions can include its length, height, and width, but also the amount of gas in the tank (4th), the position of the throttle pedal (5th) and brake pedal (6th), its weight (7th), the number of passengers (8th), etc etc.
Bingo.

> If interest rates go up, demand falls and you're left in a highly leveraged position that amplifies your losses.

There is a reason why debt is called “leverage” - it leveraged investment returns up when your the exit works out.

But it also leverages return losses down when the exit doesn’t work out.

Great take. I worked on Confluence for a few years and have a bit of insight.

Search has been an area of focus on and off for the most part of the last 15 years. It actually has gotten a lot better and Atlassian has an entire team focused on improving the search experience across their suite of products (they started with Confluence). And from what I hear, they are focusing on all the right things.

To your point, no search system can be a good fit for every possible use-case. Confluence has a number of different use-cases, but let's just pick "documentation" and "intranet" as an example here.

Intranets are, to a large degree, about keeping up with what's new in a company. Therefore recent content is likely more relevant than older content.

When used for documentation, recency doesn't matter at all. If a document was written 2 years ago, but the content is still accurate, it's just as relevant as it was on day one.

That means no single relevance configuration will work well for all use-cases. Leveraging ML is essential. But even a single ML model across an entire Confluence instance is not going to work as different spaces are used for different use-cases. What's really required here is to build different models for different spaces to create a tailored relevancy for each space. It's not an easy problem to solve, but I'm confident they will get there with time.

Seeing the challenges with Search at Atlassian, despite having a large, dedicated team of engineers working on the problem, is what motivated me to join http://sajari.com. We've been doing a lot of work on reinforcement learning and Neural Search. Our focus right now is on public content websites and e-commerce, but eventually we will get around to enable products like Confluence to create a great search experience without the need for an entire team. Search is a hard problem, but there is so much opportunity to improve the experiences that are available today. Exciting times.
To me it feels like home prices are the single most important bug in the economy.

If we filter out skilled IT professionals (and other high-paid jobs), fundamentally rich people and also extremely poor (homeless in developed countries and those living in stick/garbage huts in the "3-rd world"), the rest mostly spend almost all their income on paying for their home.

We invent new technologies but average homes become neither more affordable nor more perdurable.

The fact most of the ordinary people can never afford buying/building a home without taking a loan they will have to pay for decades to come seems outrageously absurd to me.
Well, firstly, it wouldn't be port 80 in that case.

At some point in the last few decades the whole concept of privacy has shifted from "your data known only to you" to "we will protect your data from small-time unsavoury actors, but in exchange, WE ourselves will collect and mine everything about you.

The WE here is perpetually growing, where once it was the government and spy agencies, now it has become platform providers, service providers and pretty much everyone who can get a vendor lockin or near-monopoly established.

That's right, which is why they usually recommend not committing tfstate but using some remote backend.

Almost certainly the latter will "win" in the sense of getting widespread adoption. If current technologies are any indication, this will lead to people, like the poster you're responding to and myself as well, who view proprietary control of such a device an unacceptable risk not adopting the technology until a FOSS alternative is made. If the device sees widespread adoption, this will probably happen several years later, and be mature enough to use about a decade later.

PMI for me is $71 a month. Which meant I could save money and use it towards home improvement to make my house better for me (and also increase its value).

Putting down 20% doesn't make sense in my case, since home prices continuing to increase and me adding home improvements that increase the value of my home I will be able to refinance my loan in a little over 2 years to get rid of the PMI, and still have spent way less than the 20% down would have cost me.

> Residents work 12+ hour days six to thirteen days in a row. Sometimes the days are longer.

... for absolutely no results.

Spend any time on a busy hospital ward, and you'll see overworked residents trying to one up one another in an attempt to impress whoever is in charge. "I've slept the least hours, therefore without me this floor would collapse". It's institutionalized hazing and cargo culting, nothing more.
In order for central banks to mitigate future recessions, they need be able to make rates go down too, not just not increase them. And when rates increasingly approach zero, there won’t be much they can do, except buy the assets - which they have done and are not supposed to.
Science cannot explain the nature of reality itself. Anything it can explain and test, is within reality itself. This is because at the heart of science are tests, which are meant to predict how reality unfolds. In other words, without reality "unfolding" (whatever that may be), you can't test anything and therefore you can't practice science.

We've already bumped into this with Quantum Theory. Experiments can't solve 'the measurement problem', and interpretations like 'Many Worlds' where multiple parallel universes exist, are unfalsifiable and untestable. I think the Big Bang falls into this as well, since we have no idea what exists before time started.
kdb+ would probably wipe the floor with all of those

I’ve been using VBA for a long time. It’s not great but allows for some things that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. I like to think I use it as a last resort. That said, I’ve been following the development around using JS and others within excel and I just don’t get it. Or, when I do, it seems ass backwards to me (like a hosted app on onedrive). I don’t want that. And I don’t really see what good using JS is if it’s just a wrapper for the quirky VBA I already am familiar with.

I had a similar experience advertising for flatmates. "Room available immediately" was a terrible idea, and I had to have something like 20 people come view to find 2 suitable. Many disorganised people no one else wanted to live with (e.g. 40 minute viewing and conversation before bringing up the fact that they had a dog, when it said "no pets" in the listing). "Available next month" was much better.
FHA loans require as little as 3% down. Payments are higher due to PMI, etc., but not a showstopper.
I imagine you could have two bags, one big one, connected to a smaller one and squeeze air from the bigger into the smaller (many ways)... but sheepskin isn't going to hold a lot of pressure and would just bust (not sure but not as good as a soccer ball) and given it's "hotdog" shaped and not spherical, it's probably not more than 2 - 4 psi.

I guarantee that housing in Toronto will continue to climb at 10%-15 % per year. Housing is the only thing keeping the Canadian economy afloat. The BoC has no choice anymore, they will pay your mortgage if necessary. I dare them to raise rates to just 5%, there will be a collapse that will leave half the country in the streets. If you can afford to buy, buy with both hands. You will double your money in the next 5 years, a house in Toronto will be over 5 million in the next decade.
The improvements you mentioned are honestly esoteric.

I'm more curious on why we can't have built-in version control, or have unlimited rows, or have a linter in the formula bar in excel by now.

Truly, being able to read Lem's works untranslated is my favourite thing about being a native polish speaker. There are some fantastic translations out there, but somehow, when it comes to sci-fi, I find works written in polish or other eastern european languages to flow better.
In addition to the above, I find that reading an older physical edition adds much charm to vintage sci-fi. The copy of The Truth I own comes from 1967 and the feel of the old, yellowed pages does enhance the reading experience.

Negative is inevitable, imo

If the value of your home rises, you've effectively taken out a hugely profitable leveraged loan, which is historically pretty common. Which is far from guaranteed of course, but broadly speaking it was an amazingly lucrative move for many many people.

> You've completely misconstrued the nature of tolerance.

I look at tolerance in practical terms. What the religious texts say, or how scholars interpret those texts is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is real world actions.

If the true believers of a religion have consistently punished people for apostasy, or indulged in forced conversions of conquered peoples, or placed restrictions on the practice of other religions, then I don't consider that religion (or its practitioners) to be tolerant.

> you have completely misconstrued what Abrahamic religions believe w.r.t. God.

I would rather say that my statement is redundant. But "the first problem is that monotheists are monotheistic" sounds absurd. Still, at least the Quran makes a distinction between the God of the Quran (Allah) and any other god (ilaah) when it claims that "there is no god but Allah."

> a lack of faith in God is sure to lead you to hell has nothing to do with intolerance. [...] You seem to be suggesting the absurd idea that it is intolerant to be certain of your beliefs and thus certain that someone else is in error.

If this principle limited itself to words and not deeds, I would probably agree. My issue is with the "carrot and the sword" part. That is intolerance manifesting in physical form. And there are hundreds of millions of people who have borne the brunt of this intolerance over the last few thousands years.
i think someone should start a fund that exclusively invests in startups that get torn to shreds on HN, “Why would anyone use this, I could build it in a weekend!”.. often means the startup goes on to reach a billion dollar valuation.

Wohoo nice. So now management needs to hear the cries and buy it.
It probably should only send to the telemetry endpoints when you try to run the command. Otherwise it doesn't seem nefarious if you have telemetry enabled on the OS does it?

Knowing the commands people often use the Run dialog for can be a useful input for making usability and stability improvements. (Eg: a sudden influx of people running explorer.exe might hint at something etc. )

Of course, MS telemetry is in many places and it's not always clear where so it is often a surprise to find these spots when you start looking.
We had better luck with Bernoulli cups to move paper from a ream to our platen where it gets printed on. We grab the paper by the short edge and drag it over, easier than trying to lift it off vertically. The platen has its own vacuum so the paper gets sucked down in place. Works pretty well but we still need to recover from errors, especially when changing paper types.

We moved from California a few years back. We lived in an area that they had tier usage based on $DATA. That meant that you went out of the most affordable tier after you ran a refrigerator and a lightbulb. We always were charged over a dollar per kWh.

You can just add a shortcut named "n.lnk" pointing to your favorite editor and put in a folder that's in your %PATH% and then you can just type "n<enter>" in the Run dialog.

There's also a way to add aliases via the Registry, but it's way more cumbersome.
By default HTTPS Everywhere falls quite far short of "everywhere". It just has a list of things to try, where there's a popular site often linked to by HTTP for which HTTPS exists. It even handles cases where the sites have different server names e.g. https://secure.example.com versus http://www.example.com which was a big trend at maybe the turn of the century.

So, if you want more you ask it to instead try to upgrade everything, by simply replacing http-> https.

I don't use HTTPS Everywhere, but, I do run Firefox. Firefox includes a feature called "HTTPS Only Mode" which is default off for now. In HTTPS Only Mode (which you can enable for Private Browsing, if you just want to ensure your porn doesn't get swapped for Rick Astley; or for all tabs if you like me would prefer unencrypted HTTP to go away now please) Firefox behaves as follows for all URLs whether you typed them in, clicked a link on a page, or in an email, or whatever:

* If rewriting http as https "just works", that's what it does. Yes, in theory https://pig.example/ could be a site about pork farming while http://pig.example/ is a site about how awful the police are, but nobody actually does that on purpose unless they're being deliberately contrary - so there's no reason to care about it.

* If the HTTPS site does not exist, Firefox tells you there is no secure site available, it says the most likely reason is mundane - there is no secure site, but it's possible something nefarious is happening. One click takes you to the HTTP site you originally were linked to.

* If the HTTPS site "exists" only in the sense that if you typed that HTTPS URL in manually it would give an error on another browser (or indeed Firefox) that counts as not existing for this purpose. e.g. bad certificate, terrible SSL configuration, somebody doesn't understand how ports work.

In what way was using Perl horrifying? Is it that they weren't using whatever flavor-of-the-week stylish language everyone now thinks is "cool", like some ridiculous node.js stack in Typescript? If they were using Python--which FWIW is extremely common in the build script space--would you have been any less "horrified"? :/
So, what makes this fundamentally different from something like an insulin pump?
Some additional general comments:

- Avoid deeply nested code; try to reduce "cyclomatic complexity". Refactor to use helper functions and guard statements as appropriate.

- Your code shouldn't need an IDE to be understood. Among other things, this often means avoiding overuse of type deduction features like auto in C++, var in Java, etc.

- A well-named function can be treated like a black box, without having to dive into its implementation to figure out what it's doing.

- Simple is better than clever. For instance, just because you see an opportunity to use the Y combinator (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_combinator#Fixed-p...) or Duff's device doesn't mean that you should.

- Avoid premature optimization. Only reach for it if it's proven to be a bottleneck, preferably with real-world data (as microbenchmarks are not always representative).

- This one comes up most frequently in code review, and is probably the most important one: if your colleague doesn't understand your code, it might not be readable.

Why do you think so? 99% of people would block someone who shares CSAM. And in Freenet’s moderation systems blocking automatically propagates to those who truts your judgement.

So normal people would expunge CSAM, too. Just by wanting to remove it from their timelines.

ij.org is not the primary source, it does not reference the originals, and clearly has an agenda, so a different source is needed for the raw data.
Another thing to consider here is that many times, larger corporations are required to comply (or internally have hangups about not complying) with FIPS. And at least as far as I can tell, there are only a few older versions of OpenSSL compatible with a legacy FIPS module.
