This is boring. I'm sorry you're unable to read my first comment, and keep requesting reference you've already recieved.

Notably, you're even providing scans from the TAoCP page I gave you, which have the relevant text carefully trimmed away, and are showing individual paragraphs whose text does not attempt to give a definition, despite that a definition is present on those pages

Who are you trying to convince, Frank? Nobody's reading this thread this late. Did you think I just didn't know what else was on the pages I gave you?

When an anti-vaxxer wants to make a point, they have to turn to hilariously inappropriate sources to pretend they're defended.

Techopedia, tutorials point, BBC news, a 2008 tutorial written by a student, and a random set of tutorials on a page full of broken links and misspellings. And very, very carefully edited Knuth.

Amusingly, one of them even explicitly spells out the same thing I did.

I see you're turning to the best in the business. And ignoring the coiner, again.

Good luck to you.
Telemetry isn't just a tool for product managers, but it's also a goldmine for national security agencies (more than just the NSA; Bing is unblocked in China for a reason).

if you think sales is harder than software engineering you are totally nuts, and the points you make here are equally valid for engineering.
Its funny how Windows and Android, the two most widely used operating systems, are a privacy nightmare and basically spyware at this point. Remember you can install tools and ROMs that are privacy focussed but also realise only a minor percentage of the users bother or are aware of these.

I wonder what the sales pitch would be to sell privacy focussed products to the average Joe.

Can you find any contemporary report of that May 11, 2019 USDT price spike incident at all? Because, if 'many people noticed' it, as you claim, then that should be easy

But I'll tell you now, to save you time: there are no such reports, because it did not happen.

I don't know anything about 'other instances', I only assume that spike on the Kraken chart that you linked to must be a glitch, because I found zero corroborating evidence for it. As you yourself have implied, such an insane price spike would have been a significant incident so it could hardly have gone unnoticed.

Your arguments would be more persuasive if you based them on facts.
What is it about Webflow that makes it "click"?
In the 90s (or maybe 00s) the company I worked for had a self-hosted web app (they mostly all were self-hosted, then) that did various things, but was also supposed to be able to send email via whatever mail server you already had.

But it didn't work for us. I forget the exact reason, but it was like some kind of text encoding issue where the mail server was expecting ASCII but the software was sending some weird non-ASCII character from EUC or SJIS that borked it. (It was a Japanese workflow app for internal company processes like calendaring, expense approvals, etc., so it had lots of user-entered strings that were in Japanese. UTF-8 existed, but... this product had legacy issues.)

Unfortunately the vendor delivered that software (in part, but the significant part for this story) as compiled Perl modules. I think they maybe did that to make it harder for third parties to customize their shit, and therefore make it easier to get any related customization/integration contracts, but possibly it was just innocent performance enhancement.

Regardless, though, a dude I worked with decompiled those modules and figured out how to fix the bug by doing some kind of text/encoding transform.

And then it could send email.

Iceland is basically a city-state of ~350,000 people that live next to volcanoes. Norway is 99% hydropower, likewise owing to its unique geography of rivers and mountains.

> Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos paid a true tax rate of 0.98% as his wealth grew by a staggering $99 billion between 2014 and 2018; he reported just $4.22 billion in reported income during the same period.

I'm curious how I should rationalize that this is not in fact a giant loophole for billionaires. Bezos' wealth increased immensely such that he is now one of the richest people in the world, and yet his effective tax rate is far lower than anything you or I will ever see. If he needs "income", he can simply take out a low interest loan with his stock as collateral to pay for whatever he needs (yachts, spurious lawsuits against NASA, etc.). His stock is effectively cash, loans effectively "realize" his gains, and yet we don't treat any of it as income.

There's a vast difference between the unrealized gains of not-filthy-rich people with 401ks / middling stock portfolios and the unrealized gains of filthy rich people who primarily take stock as income (which they do for the exact purpose of paying lower taxes).

You can think that.

We don't understand the long-term effects because we haven't gotten there in time, yet. Pretending to know these things is dangerous for children.

I think your point ignores the fact that none of this is up to the children, regardless of risk, and they are also an infection vector which allows the virus to continue spreading and evolving. The virus is less dangerous for children, so it makes sense to let them get it and spread it? Is this the point you're trying to make?
This Scientific American article may touch upon some of it.

Future costs are never certain. And it may depend where in the world you are. I’m pretty sure salt caverns full of hydrogen are a lot cheaper than most people expect batteries to get for storing (transmission grid scale) energy for a month or more. And I think that’s mostly because lithium, plentiful as it is, is unlikely to ever be as cheap as water. But admittedly not everywhere has the geology for the storing the hydrogen really cheaply.

And, of course, in many ways an electrolysis to hydrogen storage to fuel cell system is just a type of (flow) battery. So in some ways this is a question of what type of battery system will win (as are discussions of hydrogen vehicles really, though I’d personally see those as staying pretty niche).

Edit: typo further to future.
That study is seriously out of date, as it addresses the optimal strategy to prioritize vaccinations when the vaccines are scarce. That's still, sadly, a major concern in many parts of the world, but not so much in the US and Europe.

Since then, there's solid science[1] that hybrid immunity is significantly better than either vaccine-induced or disease-induced. So taking the vaccine is clearly the better choice whether you've been infected or not.

It wasn't proprietary software, but I used to work with a sustaining engineer who ran Firefox in a gdb session. He was a "tab hoarder" and this was before the days it would save your session; when it reset he complained that he'd lose days of context. I watched him hand-repair a SIGSEGV from a null pointer dereference. As he was doing so he explained he'd reported this particular bug a few weeks ago but "Mozilla's triage was taking a while." A few keystrokes later he'd backed up a couple of frames, set a condition variable to avoid the bad code, and continued the process without interruption. Hugely impressive.
I would think the more important disclosure is if he didn't hold any.

Many "non-profit" agencies are actually funded by the wealthy or special interest groups. "Non-profit" is a tax status thing, not necessarily "in the public interest" label.
I have the same feeling (am also an ex UK guy). It's a feeling v. much borne out by the statistics - there's been a slump in wages and living standards in the last fifteen years or so that's been unevenly distributed, both geographically and socially, but has generally lowered quality of life for everyone.
Referrer spam mostly unless someone is targeting you (google Negative/black hat SEO).

The best thing to do is to submit to google search console as a "Disavowed back link" [0] which is basically telling google that you don't want these to be counted as backlinks and they will exclude in ranking calculations.

That's an appealing idea. From watching the behavior of XBox One and Windows 10, I would be really surprised if they created such a thing. It really seems more like they want people to have dumb terminals with their binaries pseudo-cached and operate more like a mainframe/cloud model.
I've always felt that America always looks everything from the lens of race. Class problems specially are casted as a race problem. I personally think this is the leftover of 1960-70s, when class differences were a taboo because of the red scare, and race differences were being fought against for civil rights. The end result is that even in legitimat class differences like in access to education, it is only seen through the lens of race.

There's really nothing wrong with your logic, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way. These ships are usually abandoned at port, which means what happens is subject to the laws of the country they're in. Most countries have laws about ships and shipping to prevent becoming responsible for abandoned ships, it's common for some crew member to be criminally liable for abandoning a ship at port. Then you take into account bankruptcy filings in the flag country with assets worldwide, it would be very hard for a person to claim a ship as salvage in territorial waters while litigation about assets is ongoing.

Ideally it would be as simple as you say, but when you're talking about potentially billions of dollars in machinery and cargo, owned by probably hundreds of different interests, the people on these ships get caught in the middle of the mess and nobody with a financial interest in the situation wants to help the poor saps take their money from them.

I agree, you should join a startup for the experience of it rather than the risky upside. If you're leaving another company with an equity component, though, it's a good idea to try and quantify your options. Ideally you are lucky enough to find a company that will both definitely give you the work environment you want, and probably make you wealthy.

For a small startup, I recommend asking the CEO tough questions about the viability of the business and planned exit strategy. If they get upset about it, walk away. If they don't get upset, that's good. At that point, ask them to get you in contact with an early investor to ask them questions. If they aren't willing to do that, then walk away. Once you do have an offer, do an analysis. Unless you think they are giving you an abundance, then do a round of negotiation. Negotiating can only help you. Keep it fair and reasonable, though. If it's your first job and you have no experience, for example, don't expect them to budge much if at all.

Let me describe my interpretation of the program. You are presented with a "marble" cube which lets you chisel the shape you want. The problem I see with this application is that you can't even do something as basic as set the depth of the cuts you're taking. It's just removing everything in a straight line based on the camera angle.

Unfortunately, it's just free-hand sketches plus boolean "and" operations. I don't see the breakthrough.
Lately, it seems like our only remaining choice as a civilization is to decide if we want to be exploited or controlled.
> In a frontline healthcare setting, workers are constantly in contact with infected persons, thus the difference in testing regimens is maximized. Given that asymptomatic cases are a majority of the cases, such skewed data collection process will result in significant data taint.

I don’t see how this claim is supported by data. The studies referenced showed the vaccine was less effective (vs control) for frontline healthcare workers than the general population (80% vs 95%). If the data were really tainted as you claim, and there is systematic undercounting of asymptomatic breakthrough cases, we would expect the vaccine to perform as well or better in a frontline setting as it does in the general population.

My point was that the parent blatantly misrepresented the results of this study to make a point supporting anti-vaxx positions. Why is this necessary?
Yikes, that actually sounds pretty bad too. So… deregulation is the best regulation, like in most other cases?

Never start a post off with "No," if you don't know much about what you are professing. Phytoestrogens aren't estrogen. In fact, some actually act as estrogen antagonists (opposite effect.) They don't affect human biology the same way that they affect plants or grazing animals.

Here how I always thought that worked:

- They know webmasters will go through their referrer log, and when they see the link they'll click through to see who's linking to them. (Hence visiting their site.) It doesn't cost them anything -- and if they do it enough times, they'll actually get something like traffic.

- Also, some blogs use a plugin that automatically detects when a site has linked to a post -- and then announce that (in the form of a comment on that post).

While Java was obviously well funded, its early focus was definitely on marketing and making lots of new features even though the existing features were very buggy..

For a privately held company the number of shares outstanding, on its own, isn’t enough and really doesn’t tell you much. Your shares are almost certainly not the same as other people’s shares and you need to know what those differences are. Other people likely hold shares that have terms like “I get paid 3X my investment before anyone else gets paid.” Or other terms that make the total number of shares not that informative in knowing where you really stand. If someone’s not sitting down with you and laying everything out on the table then it’s almost certain there are things they don’t want you to know that make your offer significantly less attractive than what it might appear in face value.

For what it’s worth the “big” company I work for stores usernames in MySQL. 15 years ago when the username column was created it was set for ASCII (or whatever legacy charset it was). Changing it to utf8 would be a royal pain in the ass, requiring all kinds of testing and crazy updates across the entire company.

So while we’d love to make it utf8, it is just too much work to justify doing over other things.
I'd say that would be much more surprising and unintuitive behavior just for the sake of slightly more convenient REPL use. I wouldn't want stringifying any function to automatically call it. What if you store the function somewhere and print it for debugging, and then have to figure out why your program keeps crashing when you try to just print a list of functions?

Besides, you usually have a more convenient exit available with Ctrl-D anyway.
Cool! And another civil engineer here, specifically structures. Lurked in HN for at least 5 years, I appreciate the perspectives in comments and articles.

Both of these are the cheaper option in their respective market. iOS and macOS are expensive because the hardware is expensive (as in, the hardware in part pays for the development of the software), and Linux is expensive in that it's almost always more time-consuming to set up since it doesn't have Windows' first-class driver, hardware, and software support.
