No, I didn't miss the idea (and it's not an idea, it really happened.) I believe you're mistaking the role of the resolver operator and whether or not they should be manipulating client queries/responses without the user knowing. An NXDOMAIN response does not match the conditions, and shouldn't be used just to manipulate the clients.
Which is already more than a first step. Using facial recognition as part of a legitimate investigation is an acceptable thing to do.

Oh no, I definitely feel bad for the people who had their data leaked and worry what some malicious people will do about it, but posting about it on HN isn't going to change that.

I've done a tiny bit of streaming myself at some point, and keep meaning to do a bit more. I'll never have any significant following, but it's a cool website. It sucks that's it's gotten out there, but it's too late, it's out.

Might as well satisfy my morbid curiosity of how much some streamers are making on that site, which is about all I'm doing with this data.

> Monte Carlo simulation - estimating uncertainty.

By definition, "uncertainty" is the thing that does not have a PDF ... You can quantify risk based on assumptions you make about underlying probability distributions from which you are drawing. Far too often, even in Monte Carlo, people decide to work with the easy distributions instead of the most appropriate distributions.

The "easy" distributions tend to admit actual mathematical solutions which means Monte Carlo is helpful if you can't do the math but not strictly necessary.

Monte Carlo shines when you cannot get nice solution and there is your opportunity to not be constrained by the need to do so: Draw from appropriate distributions.

Also, know the difference between LLN and CLT and when to appeal to which to justify your methods.

I believe the point is more from a relatively "simple" molecule you can have catalytic reactions that don't require metal or complex protein systems. When applied to the observation about life means that random organic compounds could have started selective catalytic reactions which could have given rise to more complex systems which then give rise to the building blocks of life or something.

Yet another interview question deep dive: Intersection of Two Arrays
This being the UN, I don't think there's going to be many legal intricacies because it's mostly a debate forum with little to no strings attached. Even ICC rulings serve more of a ceremonial/PR role than an actual court ruling: The world has judged you and very publicly found you guilty of stuff, but it's really up to the Security Council countries' own governing bodies to do something about that.

As things stand, what this decision does is make it look like the UK has a vested interest in polluting the world, which makes exactly 0 sense to me from a foreign policy POV: this is not something countries want to look like they stand for.

Hence my asking, I just can't make the decision or the arguments behind it make sense?
Sky in English is basically the same. It originally meant something that obscures, upwards into the heavens.

Presumably people were quite used to clouds. Looking at the etymology of the word, one finds sky in Old Norse, skiwja in Proto-Germanic, similar in Old English and Old Saxon all the way to Proto-Indo-European skewH (to "cover, bedeck").

Look at wiktionary.org - hours of fun.
I don't think 4 day workweek is the solution. I used to freelance, experimenting with 2-6 days/week. If you're working alone, sure, 4 days is just right.

My last job had me working 10 to 7, 5 days/week. That was too much and I thought 4 days was ideal.

My current job is much more relaxed. Everyone is done by 6 and we sometimes do game night. Management and HR actively lowers pressure, encourages us to take more breaks, and informs us that they've never turned down any request for a day off. Now I'm tempted to work 5.5 days/week, especially when they let me take a day off whenever I feel like it.

The problem seems to be that things aren't in sync. We're not getting enough rest or enough work done; I suspect 4 days is stressful when you have a lot of meetings. Socialising is a huge factor too - I had none of it in my last job, but I'd like more in my current job. I had no time for errands in my last job, but now that they're cool with me running errands on weekdays, I don't need extra time off.
This article reminded me of a group I founded in college. I also was motivated to ensure it lived on, which it has.

4 things worked there
1) it was a group to help people get jobs, which is an ongoing market need
2) it demonstrated success quickly and provided a template for that success, so people were motivated to invest in keeping it going
3) we made early cultural decisions that selected the right kind of people
4) we set out clear 5 year goals, and had every president update the 5 year plan and their own 1 year plan.
The value obviously has nothing to do with the material choice, so why don't they just print it out of PLA?

The difference in your "which of the two look better" example is:

(a) has one dict operation plus an exception which rarely occurs and is nearly zero cost if it doesn't.

versus

(b) has nearly always two dict operations, plus a possibly incorrect assumption that the dict will not be mutated between the "if key in dict" and "dict[key]" operations.
I started using a phone with GrapheneOS recently and, whilst I occasionally miss Google Maps, most of the Google services I don't miss. But not having push on some many apps is quite annoying. It's nice to see that some apps have actually implemented UnifiedPush and it's not just a specification.
I agree with your stance. However, I don't think the fix is every going to come from police, government officials, or mass surveillance. Even if their intentions are altruistic they just can't be every where at once to help people and their hands are tied when it comes to enforcement.

I think laws that prioritize the right to self defense or defense of one's property are what's best. Castle doctrine laws, stand your ground etc. Yeah they're going to result in a minute amount of cases where crazy people go off on some innocent person but I think that's a better alternative than giving criminals more rights than law abiding citizens.
Or use Option/Maybe or Either to represent this and let callers explicitly handle this rather than catching an exception. Is an entity not being found truly an exceptional case?
I used to be so excited about fusion, but then I actually learned more about it. Perhaps I'm missing something, but the benefits over fission seem underwhelming.

It's about the same cost on a per-megawatt basis. Modern fission plants are totally safe. Nuclear waste is basically a non-problem, especially with the most recent technology.

And fission has the huge benefit of being a mature, proven technology.

What's the big benefit of fusion that makes it worth investing so much money?

The only thing I can see is that it doesn't require uranium, which can be abused to make weapons. But does that by itself justify the investment?
"[Mars] must be a great place to live"
"Sure, if you're rich"
"Then I'm sure we will be quite happy."

In a fission reactor, I know the energy goes into the water, which creates steam and that turns a turbine. But it looks like fusion reactors use a near vacuum and high powered magnets. Once two atoms actually fuse, where does that energy "go"? Does the new helium atom just bounce around the containment unit? How do we actually extract meaningful energy from such a closed system?

I thought we didn't like that one because it solves all of the "energy problems" that we have. What will we complain and lobby about???
Not really, not when you consider the entire process.

Also, I did not say "turn CO2 back into hydrocarbons", that would be preposterous. No, it would take an unimaginable amount of energy to go out and take it out of the atmosphere and turn it into anything of any form.

The super simplistic example I use is: Take a bag of flour and let your building air conditioning system spread the dust all over the building. Now go pick up every single particle you released. And no, you can't open the windows and let outside wind clear out most of it. It's a closed building.

This is not a perfect analog, it is just an illustration of how it is very easy to create a mess and many, many times harder to clean it up.
To me, it seems our current system has us stuck in a prisoner's dilemma of sorts.

Each side has a large base of constituents who don't love their own party but feel it's a non-negotiable to keep the other major party out of power as much as possible.

For example, I dislike both sides, but there's one party I dislike more than the other, so I vote in such a way to keep that party out... which ends up supporting a party that a lot of people hate. If you're in the US, it's likely you can relate.
Is it harder, are you sure? There isn’t a button, but HN also doesn’t try to talk you out of it.

Unlike Facebook, Hacker News has no Personally Identifiable Information on you, didn’t ask for any, and isn’t trying to gather any. Email address might be the lone exception, but you can use any throwaway email you want. So you might have chosen to share some, but other than email, HN has no way to index it or even know that it’s personal to you. There’s no network, no photos, no credit cards. There are no ads that HN is selling your PII to. Unlike FB, HN doesn’t do any EU specific business or target EU residents in any way, so combined with the complete lack of PII, it’s very likely GDPR does not apply to HN. Comments aren’t enough, they don’t act as a catalog of PII.

That said, have you tried emailing HN to see if they’ll happily delete your comments? If there was a legitimate problem that you needed to erase, if your identity become known against your will, I’d bet the mods here would be happy to help you.

It would make a nice Christmas present, but given the current state of affairs in the chip industry, I'd say it's only going to be a reality next year--unless there are some surplus yields of Broadcom and DRAM chips squirrelled away someplace.

An argument here is that it disincentivizes others from doing similar crimes. If the technology is so spot on that 99% of the time you commit the crime you'll get caught, then others will likely not take the risk.

Granted there's an easy counter argument there (all the more prescient these days) that they could wear a mask while committing the crime.

There's a similar (less discussed about) trend happening these days. Law enforcement is using DNA evidence from crime scenes, passing it through (sometimes private) DNA databases and getting matches.

Let's say those database continue to have more data – what are the odds that someone involved in a crime will leave some DNA behind, and will either themselves have their DNA in a database, or, a relative. The chances of you getting away with a crime converge to zero. And if you know you have high odds of getting caught when doing the crime, you might be less likely to do it in the first place.

Wow by the downvotes I learned people react extremely negatively to any critique of math word problems. Spherical cows and 99% water potatoes are fine, those over simplifications are required for the analysis.

Saying Leaving the potatoes out overnight to imply they halved in mass, sounds as reasonable as “the potatoes were in the ground for 12 hours and then doubled in amount, what percent of water are they now?” It’s so gratuitous and requires ignoring all other laws of physics, while the goal of the spherical cow type simplification is to only ignore a few key challenging ones.

How to create a compelling product strategy
Superficially, "Don't write bugs" really only translates to "don't be sloppy, if you're aware of ways that your code will fail in edge cases, handle those edge cases. Develop techniques and habits that will avoid bugs, like better encapsulation."

However, "Don't write bugs" is a joke for a seasoned programmer who's had to work with political constraints. Bugs often arise from major design flaws that can't be fixed in an afternoon. Other bugs arise from management compromises to meet a deadline or price point. Even worse, some bugs arise from problems with external APIs that are completely out of a programmer's control. At this point, "don't write bugs" can really only translate to trying to defend against corner cases that are impractical to fix.

"Impractical to fix," meaning, fixing the bug requires navigating politics. This could be working with a vendor to fix a broken API. It could also be working with management to allocate time to refactor a defective design.

Also: There are poor programmers who just can't "Don't write bugs." They can't think through edge cases; or a fundamentally incapable of understanding edge cases that lead to bugs. (And handling these kind of programmers is a different topic altogether.)

> I would even say, you are not working for the campaign, you are working for yourself!

And you would be wrong.
Yeah, noexcept(true) is identical to wrapping the function with a try-catch construct in which the catch clause simply calls std::terminate(). Your godbolt example doesn't include the definition of n() so it doesn't show that. Adding noexcept(true) has a cost (because it's a kind of exception handling) but also allows the compiler to optimize out some of that cost under some circumstances.

Nevertheless, an example that demonstrates the exception path doesn't say much about the "zero-cost" non-exception path. In C++ exception handling is expensive. Outside of actually directly handling exceptions they have zero cost. There are no generated instructions. They do not consume cache. They do not hinder further optimizations.

With regards to abiogenesis, that is a wonderful area for wild speculation. I say that having done a tiny bit of that myself :)

Certainly it would be helpful to have small-molecule catalysts to bootstrap life into having polymer catalysts.

I just do not think it matters much about excluding metals, since there were bound to be sufficient dissolved metal ions floating around. Of course, whether they were the 'right' metals and in a suitable oxidation state and so on is a different question.
