> Honestly people need to step back and ask if they're out-performing the market, and if so what risks they're taking to do so.

There is a further problem about this even if you are out-performing (for now): the feedback loop delay on if you are (or not) can be a long-time, especially if this is for long-term projects (e.g., retirement).

Nick Maggiulli:

> But, what about stock picking? How long would it take to determine if someone is a good stock picker?

> An hour? A week? A year?

> Try multiple years, and even then you still may not know for sure. The issue is that causality is harder to determine with stock picking than with other domains. When you shoot a basketball or write a computer program, the result comes immediately after the action. The ball goes in the hoop or it doesn’t. The program runs correctly or it doesn’t. But, with stock picking, you make a decision now and have to wait for it to pay off. The feedback loop can take years.

> And the payoff you do eventually get has to be compared to the payoff of buying an index fund like the S&P 500. So, even if you make money on absolute terms, you can still lose money on relative terms.

TFA doesn’t argue that one is better than the other? Maybe you’re commenting on unrelated “click bait shit”?
I had similar issues in Ontraport where if I typed too quickly my cursor would suddenly jump to the start of the textbox. I noticed I had to slow down like a hunt and peck typist and it wouldn't happen. I wonder if it was better for people who live near the server since it could be due to cross-Pacific latency.

I did try copy/pasting from another program, but formatting bugs made that unreliable.
2019 13” MBP w/the keys it seems everyone but me hates but that I really like, and the Touch Bar that I’m ambivalent about and won’t miss if it’s not in my next MBP.

Still have my 2014 15” MBP that’s still going strong, which is for personal use.

Firing people in a high position of trust and responsibility who have just broken that trust isn't a petty display of power.

And how is it stupid to conclusively resolve an ongoing dispute that intentionally threatens national air travel? Just because one side loses doesn't make the decision 'stupid'.

Replacements were found and the world didn't end.

The notion that labor isn't replaceable when their demands exceed their replacement costs is absurd, no matter how skilled they are or how critical their work is.

Especially when the opponent is the government, the one entity that gives unions their power of monopoly, and the one opponent who doesn't need to act rationally when determining "replacement costs".
I don't think I've been, but I did gather that it's not a very good restaurant due to the grandparent rating it below McDonalds :)

There's always been bad design. Just like there's always been bad art. But that doesn't mean there aren't trends... no one is using analog tools to painting now in the style of the 1200s, and rarely in the styles of even the 1700s in composition, color palette, etc. Trends exist anywhere human creativity exists... those who are good and on the cutting edge will want to put their own stamp & twist on their work. That won't ever end no matter what technology affords in simplifying our world. Similarly, iPhones have made it really easy to take photos anywhere. But most photos are crap -- but that doesn't mean there still aren't people doing interesting photography with them. You can find quite a lot of that on Instagram, which is a world that has its own rapidly shifting trends.
Yep, this is where I'm at too. 13" is just not enough space for me to get anything done productively. On my 13" MBP with my standard font size, my code editor can't show a full line of code without me having to scroll (VSCode with mostly default settings, font size 12).
You're the one that compared Michelin food inspectors to developers finding demonstrable deficiencies in a good-enough app; I'm asking if you can actually back that up or it was just a bad analogy.

If you don't actually think a food inspector can find objective flaws in good-tasting food, you probably shouldn't have made the analogy, nor depended on objective, not-obvious-to-users flaws as part of your argument.

In any case, don't criticize me for agreeing with your premise!
Every time someone specifically states "we take security very seriously" or "we take your privacy very seriously", or even "you're in control of your data" it makes me think otherwise.
Yeah the Pax was obviously for cannabis and the wink wink copy on the website about tobacco or “herbs” was just what everyone did back then prior to recreational legalization. If they’re not acknowledging that in the podcast I’d have little trust in the rest of it.
You have a nice CV, IMHO certainly good enough for a PI position.

I must say that many rejections or ghostings will come from positions that have been advertised but in reality have some predefined candidate in mind...

I am surprised some interviewers commented on the lack of journal (vs conference) publications. This might come from their ignorance about ML publication structure, which is very different

I am interested in applying to Helmholtz for a PI position as well next year. Can you comment on the overall process there. Did you find the place attractive? Have you considered EBI/Sanger and BDI@Oxford?
Agreed. I never saw the utility of it really until reading this today. I can't think of many situations where I've relied on exhaustively checking union types in a switch case, but there are probably a couple that could be tightened up with 'never'.

I've opined the same before. Just put standard-colored rings (with textures, if we want to be sight-flexible) on the cables, when they're shipped from the factory.

Standardize the colors through the IF, and bam, you can tell at a glance what a cable is capable of.

Like resistors, except I don't think cables are likely to shrink too much in the future.
Early in the pandemic we didn't know the degree to which the supply chains would be shut down. I mean, you had footage from Wuhan where things really were seriously locked down and people basically didn't leave their houses. I'm not surprised all the beans and rice and pasta and oats vanished from the shelves.

In the end our version of "shutdown" was much milder, but we didn't know that at the beginning. We were rather fortunate that delta variant didn't come along until our vaccination program was well on its way.
I can't recall the exact procedure. I did write an article that I haven't published, if I can find it. I'll post it to HN. But I think I reported several URLs in my initial report, and they were all handled. The problem didn't crop up again, and so I didn't need to file an additional DMCA.

If I had to, however, I'd used the same signed PDF as proof of ownership.
Driving an entire coffee shop around to the house of whoever wants a coffee seems guaranteed to use much more energy than airlifting just the coffee itself.
It could also very possibly be that your distribution isn’t one population but two.

Embed a small over performing population within a larger normally performing /underperforming population.

You don’t j ow who’s cheating, you don’t know when they are cheating, and if they were cheating I can’t imagine they would do it in their public funds.

A simplistic analysis of self-reported data is not strong evfidence to me in this case.
Completely agree. There are many different lifestyles, none inherently better than the other. I just disagree with the sentiment that the only reason to live in a big city is because of work. At least for the kind of positions people on HN tend to hold. It's not like working fully remotely was impossible pre-pandemic.

I definitely see the appeal of owning a huge house and I might well consider it in the future, especially if I have children. But for now, I wouldn't know what to do with it. I own few things of the maximal quality I can afford. Even my city apartment is viewed as somewhat spartanic by some. So I prefer renting an entire place in different parts of the country with my girlfriend or friends for a couple of days at the time meanwhile living in my favorite part of the city where most everything I want to do or need is within 20 minutes walking distance.
Full error correction/parity checking seemed to go out of fasion in the 1990s because people started cheapskating on memory. We even had dummy parity chips on memory to fool parity checking. I was involved in many wars with suppliers at the time to stop them suppling me with 'fake'/pretend-parity-is-working memory (it was a constant battle until I issued a tightly-written memory specification which was sent to memory suppliers with orders--and even then some still tried to fool me or their suppliers tried to fool them).

It seems to me that if particles flipping bits is now becoming a significant problem then perhaps we ought to make memory with full error correction as a matter of course as once we did long ago (it makes sense to things properly even if it costs a little more).

(Incidentally, the memory/particle debate was had in the 1980s and supporters of parity checking like me eventually lost out (as memory seemed reliable enough). I've never doubted that error/parity checking would eventually come back when chip densities reached a certain point. Perhaps we're getting close to that point now.)
If you can have fun digging the ditch on the beach and dig the best damn ditch you can, why not dig the ditch? And because you don't _really_ care that much about the ditch, it's easier not to burn yourself out. After 8 hours of digging you feel no remorse from going home. On some days you might dig for 10 hours (best damn ditch you're ever gonna dig while having fun, remember?) and feel no remorse when you stop digging real early next Friday.
Cool project! I suggest looking at the ED097OC1 for a bigger screen.

No, thankfully. Only one of the watches was purchased in the US.

I did try to get the Junghans watch fixed, and that did not end particularly well (it did get fixed, but I didn't make any friends). I brought it in the US, but there are a lot of places that sell them, but don't fix them.

I have a OCW-10DA-7A (Wife's watch)[0], OCW-S100-7AJF[2], and a OCW-T410TD-3A[2]. The last two, I got in Tokyo.

G-Shocks are a big deal over there. They have G-Shocks that are a lot more expensive than these were.

It's irrelevant whether it is in principle possible to create faster tools in other languages. Joe Schmo, who ran into a wall with his project in Node.js, is lying to himself if he thinks that rewriting the whole thing in Rust is going to magically solve the problems that drove his project into a wall in the first place. A bad workman blames his tools.
Afaik, signaling frequency is typically cross-talk limited, vs diameter limited. Think more shielding, stricter tolerances over thicker.
New rich text editors use native contenteditable without abstractions over DOM
DraftJS, Slate, ProseMirror, Quill and more - they all use their model for abstracting DOM (unfortunately I don't rememeber what was the exact reasoning; Quill has some article on that https://quilljs.com/docs/delta)

I can see now the surge of new RTEs that simply use contenteditable and dom. Is it that isssue from the past that led those libs above to use abstractions - are not valid anymore?

Apple devices create an encrypted mesh network. So every Apple device nearby potentially can pass encrypted messages from either a "Find my iPhone" or "Find my AirTag" BT beacon. Eventually it finds a device that is connected to the internet and the packets are forwarded to the Apple Account bound to the Air Tag.

I think the encryption and tie to an Apple account prevent arbitrary people from doing that.
One way I've imagined that "internet freedom" could be measured objectively (if not necessarily accurately) is simply to measure what percentage of the web is available in each country.

The word "simply" perhaps doesn't belong in that sentence, but let's assume for a moment that 1) it is possible to enumerate every possible website, without duplication, 2) it is possible to say definitively whether a given site is accessible in a given country, and 3) that sites which apply their own geoblocks count as "available" everywhere (to avoid having to decide whether the block is the fault of the host or requester's government).

Unfortunately that system is still probably too simplistic, as there are likely to be sites which almost every country agrees shouldn't be reachable, but the hosting jurisdiction doesn't have the motivation or resources to shut it down. To account for this scenario, a site should be excluded from the list if it is unavailable in more than half the countries in the world, representing more than half the population of the world.

I'm not sure how useful this objective measure would be, but it could allow the problem of censorship to be discussed in a politically neutral way. Oh, and scores for countries should be reduced by a third if the country bans Tor, and another third if it also bans VPNs.
Thanks, I appreciate the clarification, that was a better follow-up than the OP could give.
The NYT and FB are two different kinds of entities, and I don't think you can judge similar (hypothetical) actions that either one might take.

The NYT is a news outlet. They publish what they believe is newsworthy, interpreted with whatever biases they might have. They don't just take random things that other people have published (or want to publish) and publish them.

FB is a social media site. They don't "publish" things; they provide a platform for their users to share things that interest them (and a platform for advertisers, but that's not really relevant here). If a user shares something that praises FB and another user shares something critical of FB (let's assume for the moment that both the praise and criticism are accurate, to preempt the "misinformation" argument), it is absolutely unethical for FB to over-promote the praise and bury the criticism. That's pretty much the textbook definition of unethical.

What you’re describing is a transflective screen. It has a normal transmissive LCD mode but the main use is as a reflective screen. They have the speed of an LCD but usually the brightness and contrast are poorer than current e-ink screen.
If you are really looking at this life changing experience, i'd suggest taking a look at expat rankings for additional data points such as Mercer's 2021 Cost of Living city ranking (1).

You have your answer. It’s undefined. Trying to get any other reassurance beyond that is irrational.

Pfizer vaccine is roughly 40-60% efficacy against delta variant infection. But it should prevent hospitalization. “Mild” infection still means you could be out for many days or weeks.

Check the positivity rate for the areas where you’re going. If it’s high and increasing I would cancel, because you might run out of hospital beds. If it’s declining then mask up and be conservative.
In the real world you see companies running the same old unpatched distro for years. I had a contract job at a company that hadn’t updated one of its systems in over 3 years. Several systems with 1200+ day uptimes. Nobody wanted to update anything since it might break. Even a reboot was frowned upon. This was at a “real company” with 1000’s of employees and a huge IT staff. Truly sad.
Do you have evidence to back that up? I wouldn't be surprised at all if either of those things happen regularly.
If you want to label it, it's more 'pump and dump' than front-running isn't it? I understand the latter to be broker (or whoever) trading with knowledge of, ahead of in time, in front of, other orders? I.e. exactly the opposite of 'follow-the-leader'

>I think people on HN underestimate how easy it is to accidentally build a money laundering system, which NBA Top Shot did and now has to correct with KYC checks

Oh, I understand the "why", but seems to me NBA Top Shot is the one that underestimated how easy it is to build a money laundering system.

And, suddenly requiring KYC checks of all users--irrespective of amounts involved and without an option for refunds--isn't the most customer-friendly way to "correct" their oversight.
Yes, the market is small for e-ink screens this size. There are few manufacturers and there is not the volume pricing that you can get with an LCD screen.
Out of all the unethical things they do, you think their being biased for themselves is so bad that you wonder how they authorized it?

The work is often dull. Often it's ETL plumbing disparate historical systems together to generate reports, maybe some machine learning, sorry I should say "AI" \s. There's certainly some challenging engineering though, especially distributed systems challenges, some caused by the old historical systems you need to integrate to get data out reliably and correctly.

Unless you are working on greenfield projects I'd say the only reason is
1) It interests you
2) It pays more

I'm dying to find a non data engineering job but they all come with 30-50% pay cut.
I'm currently working in China. My 2015 xps has been getting slow.

So I took it to a nearby dell garage for them to replace the 9550 motherboard with 9570 for roughly 300$ while keeping all of the other components unchanged.

I've honestly been shocked at the level of service.

Sadly, the 9500 has moved to a different chassis so further upgrades are impossible..

I had a similar situation one night, in a bad part of town a attractive woman jumped into the road ahead of me trying to flag me down. My primate brain told me something was off, she didn't seem afraid or in need but more like she was luring me. I got in the other lane, as it was either that or lock up my brakes and went around her. Watching in my rear view she did the same to the car behind me but they slowed down, as I turned the corner I noticed a man with a baseball bat come out of the bushes. No idea what happened next.

If I had something like autopilot my car might've stopped like theirs did.

>With two kids aged 10 and 12, I need access to a sports park for practices and games.

[0] Park access is WAY higher in US urban areas vs. the suburbs. I think having a car and driving skews your view of this.

>I need space to park a car and roads wide enough to support them because I have a lot of things to haul.

Again, I think you just like driving.

>I'm sure there are folks who live in places like SF with families and ride around in heavy urban traffic with 2 kids on an electric cargo bike, but that's just not for many of us. We're happier and way more stress free in the suburbs or even in the rural areas working remotely.

Yeah, you just like driving. Which is fine, but don't shit on our cities because of it. It's the driving that's the PROBLEM.

That's bullshit.

I'm sure it's safe to assume both crash more than very attentive drivers, which is the only question that matters when it comes to Tesla's autopilot.

What you're really asking is "who'd you rather have smash into you, someone in a Tesla using autopilot, or someone texting on their phone while driving?
