Pretty clearly, the standards have to be effective and well-designed. And yes, there are problems with that.

But the point remains that markets do very poorly at rare and/or cumulative risks. And that's the comparison I'm making. The market of and by itself will give you a race to the bottom in standards.

A longer-term view, whether through government regulation and oversight, social suasion, religious morality and ethics, or (possibly) insurance-oriented risk management (yes, a market mechanism, though something of an exception to the rule), will typically operate by the mechanisms I've described above. That there may be poor implementations doesn't obviate the fact that there can also be good ones, and that that's the goal we're aiming for.
I somewhat naively assume that at least if I use plain React or Angular then

- someone at Facebook or Google has vetted the dependcy graph for those

- I also assume they have internal Snyk-like tools

- I also assume other users have similar tools

so someone should catch it.

When it comes to anything else I often look into what it pulls in.

Also I keep an eye on the yarn.lock-file in pull requests.

I cannot continue reading after this following “declaration”… Author should take a look at the Wikipedia page for TF-IDF.

> As someone who has a Ph.D. in Human-computer Interaction ;-), I feel like I am entitled to define a condition of "good" in relevance here. I hereby declare that:

>> A good top-K algorithm should rank a document containing more user query terms higher than a document containing less number of user query terms.

> This makes perfect sense. Right?

Also, “most search engines” don’t use vector space model as the only way to rank result, for example, page rank.

Edit: in some search scenarios finding the documents with the most query terms make sense, but Lucene can also rank using this metric. Still, applaud the author's effort in digging into research literature. Search relevance is very hard and standard off the shelf metrics like TF-IDF and page rank are often not enough. Good search usually requires deep understanding of the specific subject domain and hand-tuning tons of signals, many of which aren't even strictly based on search terms (e.g., previously purchased products on a store's website, geographic location, trending results).

In my opinion yes. I'll caveat that everyone's situation is different. That said, I think holding debt right now is great.

Interest rates are low so a ton of money has been fleeing the bond market pumping stocks. It's not the companies getting more valuable, just more people entering chasing yield, reducing your earnings per share.

I think the current inflation is due to pandemic stimulus and will pass, but holding cash long term is never a good option. I think we will stay in a low interest rate period for a while (2030?), then to get out of it the government will inflate the currency. The justification for this is in the next crisis they won't have room to lower interest rates so they will print money instead. When this inflation occurs, holding debt is great because it gets inflated away. As well, real estate has traditionally kept pace with inflation, so it is a good place to park your money.

I personally just dumped a ton of money into real estate with this justification. I wasn't happy with how other investments looked. Obviously it depends where you are in life, if you plan to stay for a while, all that. Location also matters, LA real estate is a bit different from Baltimore. Right now debt is cheap and in the future it will get inflated away so that's what I'm banking on.

> more people saw this movie than any Star Wars movie is baffling

Is it? It's much easier than going to the movies. You could literally watch it on the toilet.

I can imagine that if, for $20, you were magically and instantly transported to a personal showing (in which you didnt have to wear pants and your cat was there), movie theaters would have a lot more users.

A better number might be star wars theater+home video, but even then that'll be depressed because it's not "free" with a subscription.
So we have four different kinds of light receptors in the eye: three "cones" that pick up a relatively narrow range, with peaks at the wavelengths we call "red", "green", and "blue", and one kind of "rod" that picks up a wider range of wavelengths that tends to kick in more in low light conditions, and gives you more bright/dark sensations than color.

The color we call "yellow" is what you get when the red and green cones are reporting fairly equal amounts of stimulus. It generally corresponds to the wavelengths between them. Similarly, "cyan" or "light blue" is the green and blue cones reporting fairly similar amounts of light. That color is also between the peaks of those cone's responses.

And then there is "magenta" or "purple". Which is what you get when the red and blue cones are reporting light. This does not correspond to any particular wavelength of light. But inside your brain it still produces a sensation of color, that has similarities to the red and blue experiences.

This is why some people like to say that "purple is not a real color": it does not correspond to a single particular wavelength of light. But really "color" is just something your brain makes up to classify different combinations of excitement of the rods and cones in your eyes anyway; the reality is that our eyes are only sensitive to a tiny fragment of the electromagnetic spectrum, with an uneven distribution - the "red" and "green" cones have a lot of overlap in their sensitivity, while "blue" barely overlaps either. Have a look at the diagrams in Wikipedia's page on "trichromacy": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichromacy

This is also why all our displays are based on red, green, and blue lights: you can fool the brain into sensing a particular color by showing the eyes nothing but the three frequencies the cones are most sensitive to, in various amounts.

The entrenched poverty problem started with the Great Society. (The poverty rate stopped declining in 1968.)

The US has never had more opportunity for people than today.

Example 1: anyone can get an MIT education for free on the internet.

Example 2: anyone can reach a worldwide market, for free, via the internet, and using Amazon.

Example 3: anyone can make a movie, and distribute it to the world on youtube, for free.

Example 4: anyone can start a band, make their own music, and distribute it worldwide for free on several platforms.

Hundreds of thousands of destitute people are trying to get into the US to take advantage of American opportunity. What do they know that Americans don't?
I think hearing something would be direct evidence, as opposed to indirect. Plus, aren't we supposed to err on the side of "innocent until proven guilty?" And I think for such a crime as you were describing there needs to be motive and action, not just one without the other. However, I must agree with you that indirect proof can certainly still be proof. Especially with regard to inductive reasoning and ascertaining truths without direct knowledge (or before/leading up to direct knowledge).
To be fair that’s probably what equality looks like. We are nowhere near equitable levels of being shit on between blacks and whites or men and women though.

Are we in 17th century England? Some of the people who spread FUD sound like they're straight out of some Shakespeare skit group.

It's really distracting and can be overwhelming to people who see empty shelves, despite never needing 95% of the variety of things offered by supermarkets. So this is why they do it. It makes sense, we're all human.

People who are freaking out over this have either been living under a rock regarding the logistics issues right now, or simply can't think beyond a few simple jumps to conclusion as to why they might have put excess product up.

Most people are unaffected by this. Tweeting about it and making a big fuss about it as though there is some evil mastermind behind the curtain controlling all of this are just seeking attention.

I hope it's clear that my "what right..." quip is alluding to similar attitutes addressed toward labour or residents. The point is that markets are an evolutionary system, that what was viable yesterday may not be viable tomorrow, and that the process of creative destruction moves forward.

Another view is that sometimes the forces of destruction are overly effective, and that some degree of intervention might be required.

What's curious is that the nature of the firms impacted by rising labour costs hasn't been clearly defined, and certainly wasn't at the top of this thread. I've commented in another thread about looking for solid data on this, and have found little. (See this here, specifically the 3rd comment down by myself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29235409) You're asserting that it's mom'n'pops rather than "large retailers and chains". I've seen a mix of reports suggesting both, though overall startlingly little clarity in news coverage.

I don't share your views on the apparent "lunacy" of masks at all.

To the extent that this may represent a new order and changing regime of public health and risk, an alternate narrative is that the previous structure had been built on a false presumption of risks and consequences, ignoring real ones, which, once those materialised, have changed the calculus and shown that what appeared to be a defensible, viable business and operational strategy was in fact not. It's not the world that's changed but our understanding of it. The risk was always present. It's just that now we're very much aware of it.

To the extent that this invalidates an ideologically-founded view of how "free markets" do or should operate and/or be regulated ... well, that's something which could also deserve more consideration.
Ivermectin: Much More Than You Wanted to Know
I can tell you from my own experience that they very first sign of my (diagnosed) major depression is losing interest in games. Pleasure completely evaporates, and something that takes some effort to enjoy like games or reading is the first to go. I would rather lay in bed awake staring at the ceiling with my chest heavy and in a lot of pain than play a game.

I don't relate at all to anything you say about escapism. Depression doesn't mean hating the world and your circumstances. Most of my depressions came when I knew that objectively my life is great and I'm doing well. It's an internal total loss of joy that destroys the positive feedback loops that keep all of us motivated.

I don't think of games are more escapist than any other solo activity, like education or reading non-fiction or programming. It's just another type of joyful effortful focus. I don't forget myself and who I am and live in the game. I'm still me, playing the game.
I find it strange that it would be quoted in a distance and not an angle. If at the time of writing, nobody anticipated a building this tall, the 6 inches might be very conservative.

You could say the same thing about neurons and brains. Clearly something is wrong with this argument.
This is an argument from consequence and independent of the business logic of the enterprise itself. That is: the "employment and wages, tax revenue, goods and services that wouldn't otherwise exist" are good of and by themselves regardless of the economic viability of the activity which supports them.

Is that in fact what you're saying?

Try to trust me when I say this - when you’re looking at many years of not having to work and you don’t even have to foot the lawyer bill to make it happen… it’s not as difficult as you think. It’s not a picnic but it’s not purgatory either.

If you were fortunate enough to marry a similarly earning woman then congratulations. Unfortunately - those are exceptional for this industry. At least where I am - it is rare to find a woman making $400K+/yr like I am. Even rarer that she’ll continue working after marriage - as many of the women I know who have made it that far end up giving up the gig and leave the husband to climb the rest of the career ladder to make up for the lost income.

Ultimately - your argument isn’t good. Your argument is “you should get married because getting divorced is so painful!” Why not just avoid divorce altogether?

I’ve seen enough loveless marriages. I put my fucking partner through college at an elite institution. I’m out well over $100K on that - and I didn’t even marry the woman. You don’t need to be married to support someone or to be giving.

Your marriage could end at any point. You just live naively thinking it won’t - but it can and it certainly could. There’s nothing stopping your wife from walking out the door and then filing for divorce. All that is different is that she needs to fill out a few forms or get you to pay for a lawyer - and the upside for her is immense. Hugely immense. Your earning for decades and half of your savings.
Every culture has some level of commonly accepted paternalistic policies. Forcing people to wear seatbelts, banning certain drugs etc.

Not allowing small investors to buy shares in non-public (and therefore not needing to disclose much information) companies doesn't sound like an especially radical idea. You just need resources to do due diligence to invest in such companies and as a small investor you don't. There is a common interests in preventing people from being idiots in the investment world.

I'm not sure if this is a troll. It seems the author did not spend much time learning Lucene, it already does everything he needs and better. Of course Lucene does tf-idf! If you are not getting the results you want, you must not be indexing right or must have something misconfigured. Lucene lets you tweak relevance, speed, index space efficiency, etc in a million ways.
I’m guessing since they expected the building to settle there were some allowances. So it is possible, but of course with a settling 3x of what’s expected I wonder too.
I think for a well-made show, batch/traditional weekly release works very well since it builds up hype and keeps people invested.

For a bad show where you want to get who you can to just binge through, the Netflix method of dumping all content and making it available works better for keeping you interested.

Arcane seems to go in the middle and each episode ends pretty well, but also the first two sets of 3 episodes do feel like mini-movies to me. Each ends at a particularly compelling point and keeps you looking ahead.

I hope Studio Fortiche and Riot Games keep it up in future stories because I have really enjoyed Arcane so far!!

> Daily reminder: the CIA directly and intentionally funded and fomented the rise of islamic fundamentalism in order to counter Soviet interests in Afghanistan through the Mujaheddin in 1976

That seems incomplete enough to be a misleading statement. Ghost Wars (Steve Coll) is as authoritative and well-sourced treatment as I've found.

It lays out the imperative as "confront the Soviets in Afghanistan." To that end, the State Department and CIA continually bickered over who to best fund and arm in Afghanistan.

Add in the added complexity that most funding was run through the Pakistani ISI, but paid for by the Saudis and Gulf states, all of whom generally had no compunctions and/or outright preference for Islamic fundamentalists (Pakistan due to India, Saudis due to portions of the royal family).

And on top of that, you had a constant realpolitik (arm who will fight, and who our allies will support) vs ideological (arm who believes more in democracy) debate going on. Generally speaking, the Islamists were willing the right, but the moderates tended to find reasons to avoid committing their forces, despite being paid to do exactly that.

So an accurate statement would be "the CIA helped funnel Saudi money to Afghani mujahideen, with Pakistan's ISI steering large portions of that towards Islamist groups, a practice which the US generally knew about but saw no way around."

Interesting. I can't say Lucene gives great results for relevance on a large database, eg. Confluence.

However there is a large space between algorithmic assumptions and what "relevance" actually is to the user. This article may improve, but my feeling is -- both for search and for the article -- that more context is needed.

The photoelectric effect and special relativity were "in the air," so to speak, the elements were there, others were closing in, and had Einstein not published when he did, someone else would have within 5 years or less. But general relativity, experts have estimated, would have taken far longer. But would it have really have only appeared decades later if not for Einstein? Was it pure Einstein, as if some loner maverick that worked it all out all by himself completely in isolation? I'm not sure why anyone would believe that... legend, because the legend was notoriously weak in math. Rarely does anyone remember Einstein's friend, mathematician Marcel Grossman, who "facilitated Einstein's unique synthesis of mathematical and theoretical physics in... the general theory of relativity."[1]

Believe me, I am also in awe of Einstein's remarkable insight. But what I am saying is he was and probably still is more famous than The Beatles for publishing a theory, and, granted, a theory that has held up to all scrutiny, yet the only practical application (I'm aware of) is GPS (which is really great, but it isn't Something or whatever, The Long and Winding Road, etc.) We can wax poetic about how there is art in science, but Einstein's work is not really art, its definitely theoretical physics. Technically, Cosmos was art, and we did sing his songs, though getting the lyrics wrong with "billons and billions." I'm not sure Sagan compares to Einstein, it's just my original objection, that the fame attached to the person is entirely non-proportional to the work (how ever much) or its importance (how ever great).
