Yes, sorry, I think you've filled in some reason where I did not.

The thing is - it was the act of suspension and subsequent investigation which resulted in material loss of revenue.

Ergo, it's possible that this may very well have been the act of libel itself - in much the same way that being publicly accused of some terrible crime, and 'stick' to your public image.

I wonder if for such things, it behoves the institution to not make material changes to a situation, and that such investigations must be private. A 'suspension' is a condemning act in and of itself.

In Canada, right now, the Army General in charge of vaccine distribution was given the punt after someone made a sexual harrassment claim dating back to 1988. He lost his post and suffered quite a bit of damage, the results of the investigation may very well be nill (maybe not, we don't know), it doesn't matter, the damage is done. He's now suing the Government to be reinstated, but it's 100% politics at this point.

Accusations of racism are really, really serious, perhaps we should handle them differently.
Hello, I'm the author of the article, thanks for the nice comments.

This article should have been titled as "Graphic Notes on Linear Algebra for Everyone", and Prof. Strang kindly suggested this big name. I was lucky that this drew this attention.

There are some other visuals I'm trying around the area.
- Eigenvalues
https://anagileway.com/2021/10/01/map-of-eigenvalues/

-Matrix classification
https://anagileway.com/2020/09/29/matrix-world-in-linear-alg...

When I was an undergraduate, I didn't get this understanding of linear algebra... but after watching all the Prof. Strang's 18.06 classes in MIT OpenCourseWare, now I have much clear view of this area... So I really appreciate his way of teaching.

BTW, I even made a T-shirt and sent him !

I agree. I kinda dislike when people throw around terms like pyramid scheme and MLM. And specifically calling crypto a ponzi. Yes there has been ponzi schemes done with crypto. But speculative bubble itself is not a ponzi scheme.

Pyramid and MLM are related concepts, and usually MLM is pyramid. That doesn't mean all pyramids are MLMs though. Same applies for other types of scams or structures.
It's a new implementation of the same thing, but now with no team, no servers, no company, just some code that runs on the blockchain (which is a ton of servers lol)
Not qualified to answer, but my thought is that if you have a statement that is true that cannot be proven, you could write a program whose correctness implies the statement, then proving the program correct amounts to proving something that can not be proven.

Here's a small attempted answer:

Some programs in the Simply Typed Lambda Calculus [^1] have no type—i.e. diverging programs. Even some programs that may converge have no type. The Y Combinator, for instance, has no type because it would require an infinite type.

From the Wikipedia article under "General Observations":

Given the standard semantics, the simply typed lambda calculus is strongly normalizing: that is, well-typed terms always reduce to a value, i.e., a λ abstraction. This is because recursion is not allowed by the typing rules: it is impossible to find types for fixed-point combinators and the looping term Ω = (λx.x x) (λx.x x) . Recursion can be added to the language by either having a special operator fixₐ of type (α → α) → α or adding general recursive types, though both eliminate strong normalization.

Since it is strongly normalising, it is decidable whether or not a simply typed lambda calculus program halts: in fact, it always halts. We can therefore conclude that the language is not Turing complete.

Another way to look at it is this via the Curry-Howard correspondence [^2]: for any mathematical proof, you can write down a program that is equivalent to that proof. Verifying the proof's result is the same as running the program. This is a very exciting correspondence that runs deep throughout computer science and mathematics. (I highly recommend the Software Foundations course I linked to below.)

Writing a non-terminating program is like writing one of these self-contradictory logic statements: it has no proof of truth or falsehood. Thus, the fact that we can write programs to which we can assign some kind of type but that never terminate is a way of demonstrating the fact that there are theorems that are well-formed but have no truth assignment to them. (Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem)

> The line separating investment and speculation, which is never bright and clear, becomes blurred still further when most market participants have recently enjoyed triumphs. Nothing sedates rationality like large doses of effortless money. After a heady experience of that kind, normally sensible people drift into behavior akin to that of Cinderella at the ball. They know that overstaying the festivities — that is, continuing to speculate in companies that have gigantic valuations relative to the cash they are likely to generate in the future — will eventually bring on pumpkins and mice. But they nevertheless hate to miss a single minute of what is one helluva party. Therefore, the giddy participants all plan to leave just seconds before midnight. There’s a problem, though: They are dancing in a room in which the clocks have no hands.

But at least the solid tech companies had revenue in 2001. There's a long history of useless assets becoming a part of a bubble that pops. And this even worse than Beanie Babies.

Read-onlyness was a design choice at the time and still has its place. The main problem with the API is that it's too low-level—you have to do a bunch of work to reconstruct what actually shows up on an HN page. The next version of the HN API will give a simple JSON representation of each HN URL. Initially it will still be read-only though; then we'll see about whether to extend it to writes.
A Babe Ruth card is pretty meaningless, too. It's hardly great to look at but you can derive pleasure from knowing you own it for some reason.

Amazing album, I remember the shock of listening to this album on my Walkman. It made you stop in your tracks.
I feel like I'm being gaslighted. In advanced physical chemistry we took IR spectroscopy of methane and CO2 and CO2 definitely had much, much more absorption than methane on account of the dipole difference between Carbon and oxygen (IR absorption depends on stretching modes between atoms of different electronegativity, carbon is very close to methane). At the time, it was explained to us young chemistry students that methane was more potent GHG because it lasted in the air longer (CO2 is scrubbed by plants).

Am I missing something? How can methane be a more potent GHG if it has lower IR absorption AND a shorter lifespan?

Edit: found spectra here (not the data that i took, obviously):

https://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/methane_...

CO2 has a big fat band that blows out the absorption at 4.5 um in a region untouched by water (and one that is overwhelmed by water); methane has two spiky bands both of which are partially occluded by water.
NFTs are a platform. I don't think this analogy applies.

NFTs are standards for digital ownership. If you think digital ownership will not stand the test of time, I don't know what to say. It's a critical technology for the future of the web and metaverse.

I'm sure that within the NFT ecosystem, some trends will fade with time. Maybe it's animal profile pics, or AI generated art collections or maybe it's autobattler gaming that falls out of favor, but as long as humans like gaming, music, art, and entertainment, I suspect NFTs will thrive.

Why can't that be covered by self-driving cars? There will definitely be some places that are truly unmapped and out of bounds for self-driving cars, but common hiking entrances and exits shouldn't be a problem.
A lot of other languages allow + to concatenate lists/arrays/sequences, even merge dicts/objects/maps. Languages that don’t have those semantics often have much safer and more idiomatic ways to join data structures (see lisps of all sorts) in ways you wouldn’t immediately expect if you’re coming from this perspective.

Adding two arrays together isn’t the problem, it’s a perfectly obvious thing to do. Adding two arrays together and getting a new language out of it is bonkers.

Edit to add: I work in JS/TS almost exclusively. This isn’t a chip on my shoulder criticizing a language I’m not invested in.

That's when you throw things into simulation and do some Hardware-in-the-Loop testing. If I learned anything from studying the failure of Ariane V flight 1, it's that while analysis can be useful, testing is usually even better.

Urban and suburban are different lifestyles though. Suburban residents typically have a SFH and need multiple cars to do their errands and commute. Residents of an urban core would be more likely to live in multi family housing and use public transportation or walk/bike to their errands and job. Disputing a rural v urban GHG comparison by pointing to suburbs doesn’t make sense in that model - a suburban lifestyle is much closer to a rural one as both are car-dependent.
Never before have I found the technically competent so divided. I sit in both HN and crypto camps I find this article catches all of the negative and none of the positive. I think everyone needs to zoom out.

I lived the van life for a bit, and did not find myself pooping more frequently than usual... Usually I went in a toilet, which are numerous almost everywhere with a road. In the few occasions one was not available, I was in the woods, and I did the classic "dig a hole and cover it after" maneuver. I must say, there was something very primal and distinct from pooping in a toilet in that, the smell was different, and I was able to gain some kind of indicators from it.

Anyway, that covers the number one question most people ask me about that, showers probably a close second. I just didn't shower as frequently, but did not mind it, since I was alone or with others who didn't mind. For showers, I went to gyms, dance studios, friends' showers, public showers, and so on.

It always seemed to me overkill to try to do all that yourself, when all you really need is a bit of personal space where you can lie down flat and sleep...
Others have pointed a seemingly silly phrase of "My rationale for these changes are documented on Twitter". But there is a deeper idea hidden there as perhaps one of the reason the changes were enacted was not protect anyone, but to increase engagement on Twitter. Whether someone is protected or not, is perhaps secondary.

> (removed) "When interpreting the words and actions of others, participants should always assume good intentions"

Exactly! So, on a meta level, if we apply the same idea to the change itself. How do we know it was made with a good intention or simply get +1s, heart emojies and retweets...
There's something really dystopic about all of this.
And when they decide that you were charged correctly and tell you to pound sand? Or when you can't contact them because they closed your account but are still charging you? Sometimes, businesses aren't nice or reasonable.

> Yes, but at one point, the widely held belief was that the earth was the center of the universe, the earth itself was flat

I think it’s important to distinguish between the widely held beliefs of a populace as a whole and the widely held beliefs of experts in a field. I’ll leave aside the point that fields have often gotten narrower as they have gotten deeper. But I will point out that Aristarchus of Samos posited a heliocentric model since some time between 300 and 200 BC and Eratosthenes of Cyrene calculated the circumference of the earth to within the order of 1% error at roughly similar times.

A tangent: is it important what the widely held beliefs of members of Aristarchus and Eratosthenes society believed? I’m not sure. Many members of their society didn’t have access to information or skills that would let them come to these more accurate conclusions. And if they did, there’s nothing particularly actionable for them; imagine a farmer: is knowing the earth isn’t the center of the solar system something that could help them more efficiently grow crops? In this sense, the truth doesn’t have any direct value for them whereas there are potential negative social implications for minority beliefs.

But bottom line: it’s not about consensus itself; it’s about consensus evolving as the most likely scenario given the data available. People in a field will generally have access to more information and the tools to integrate that information into hypotheses than the population as a whole. But certainly experts can still get things wrong. I would just tend to expect better from them than the populace as a whole.

Ok, let's call it a pump and dump scheme then. The end result is the same: high profit for those in control (early adopters) and latecomers get the bill.
It seems more likely that the manufacturer will blamed. Society already has experience dealing with inhuman harm from devices. If a phone explodes on its own, no one is calling for all phones to be banned.
like lisp and forth, the moving of things to/from variables is removed from primacy, to good effect. being able to use a result without having to name it is a quite powerful tool.

As with spreadsheets, the absolute or relative location can fill in as a address. Perhaps there should be some relative addressing for code, as you hinted ^ with spaces around it is the previous result.
Coming back after thinking over your comment and this thread for a while.

The Web really just does not have a user-oriented document format presently.

HTML5 via WATWG / Google / Facebook is advertiser friendly. The result is horrible both for anyone looking to independently implement a fully-compliant, capable Web browser AND any user actually accessing Today's-Web-As-Designed.

Gemini addresses the dev-unfriendliness ... bu still tosses out far too much functionality IMO in the name of simplicity. The basic semantics of HTML5 are actually reasonably sound, but without some external enforcement over styles and complexity, it's simply going to be abused. Having used tablets and e-readers principally for the past six years or so, I much prefer the presentation of, yes, PDF (generally, it's still possible to stuff those up entirely) to virtually anything rendered in HTML by a browser.

At a desktop system, console-mode simple markup remains reasonably readily consumed, and is quite useful for reference and incorporation into other works (writing / literature study).

I'm not entirely sure where the answer lies, but I don't think Gemini is the promised land.

Possibly a bondage-and-disciplin markup format, enforced by ... what exactly I don't know, though a defined set of document formats, and perhaps an independent search platform's ranking systems, might be one approach.

(Yes, addressing the issues of copyright, compensation, and authors integrity might also help, though at this point, stripping the Web of all advertising seems a good start.)
Personally, I think the best way to explain them isn’t to explain what they are, but to explain what they are useful for. You have map that maps (a -> b) functions, and you need another map-like for (a -> m b) functions. 99% of the time, the obvious way to implement that for your structure is the way you’d implement a monad on that structure (plus the ‘default’ a -> m a). That’s why they’re useful. Everything else is burritos.
Did they pull the plug? I was under the impression that it was done halfway on purpose.
Yes, materialistic is what I settled down on so far!
Keep in mind, what I wrote essentially was condensed version of what was said in the video, which itself was in response to several other videos so the points made are specifically targeting other claims, there is a lot of nuance in delivery that I discarded for the sake of brevity, for example, but point 1 was addressing a claim another popular video discussing domestic (American) emissions of livestock agriculture. Some of your points are discussed in the video but I was really just giving cliff notes to the original responder.
Even if they're not legally liable, my guess is they were spending a non-trivial amount of time on the issue, including dealing with complaints.
Sorry, didn't mean admitting to "absolute garbage" in a literal way. Mostly referring to statement such as:

> I'm not saying this to defend it - It's not the ideal public API, but it's the one we could release in the time we had. While awkward, it's possible to implement most of HN using it.

https://github.com/HackerNews/API

My words may have been a bit too harsh but I still think I have a point. The only thing I could find use of the API was to get the user's details (karma, description, date created etc). Other than that, I ended up relying on scraping.

Unfortunately, unless the JSON api offers write access, it won't be of much use for my app's use cases. Lets just hope the JSON Api isn't going to break anything major in the HTML of the site and there aren't any major re-designs of the site in the pipeline.

The comment was exactly in that ironic spirit. The internet version or a slow clap for someone who did something completely useless for the sole purpose of virtual signaling.
If someone runs around on github doing such nonsense "work" editing text no one ever reads you dont deserve more than a ironic acknowledgement. Its like writing ToS that no one reads but replace the salary of a lawyer with people laughing at you for doing this sh*t in your free time (I sure hope no one pays for it).

I feel like I'm just restating my parent comment, but Fairphone has the rating while being user-repairable. Not being glued shut is what makes it more challenging to get that rating, as I understand it.

(In the live stream they also mentioned that a headphone jack would make the phone bigger still. And also that they had a lot of back-and-forth on it - I don't know why you would attribute this to malice rather than a balancing of constraints.)
