Duh. There were just tinfoil.

Watch the incredible rescan from a few years ago. You can clearly see them.

Still one of the best movies ever. I watched dune recently and while very well done, it felt more like theatre than a movie. Cameron and Verhoeven are my directors. They know how to do action
Why? The onus of proof is on the one making assertions. You seem to feel you're asserting something that's common knowledge, but it isn't, and the downvotes prove it. I responded to your comment anyway.
How the U.S. hid an airstrike that killed dozens of civilians in Syria
You had the right mind to bring it to people's attention - it is such a common issue that gets overlooked.
There's no reason for it if I'm doing back end DevOps. I don't want to work on "the product".
Well... that's bordering on oversimplifying it.

The key distinction is whether you count the EV of a single wager, or the expected growth of compound returns.

As you say, the single-wager EV is independent of bankroll provided you can afford it in the first place. This is also what most people mean when they say EV, and indeed the common mathematical definition of it.

However, skilled risk takers know that the arithmetic EV isn't what matters more generally. What matters in the long run is geometric EV, or expected growth of compound returns.

And for geometric EV, bankroll absolutely matters. The larger your bankroll, the better your geometric EV. I suspect this is what the parent comment referred to.

(However, when the wager shrinks in comparison to your total wealth, the arithmetic EV approaches the geometric EV by Taylor series approximation. For "everyday affairs" (as I think Bernoulli put it) you can think of them as equal.)
> some idiots are believing the marketing

That doesn't follow. Some people are definitely being idiots, but the marketing doesn't say that it's okay to do those things, so they're not "believing the marketing" by doing so.
Exact same thing here.
> Steam does not work properly with Wayland

How so? I'm running Wayland and running Steam. Everything works perfectly.
I agree with you to a certain extent, also I didn't mean to disregard the value that money provides by giving us a way to assign a quantifiable value to things. That's entirely different and in that way it can be counted as one of the greatest innovations in human history.

I was talking about the human greed that is exploited by money.

Also, if you're going to fight a war with another country, money doesn't mean much does it? Unless you have a global currency that both sides can agree on. Ultimately wars were fought for resources (Non ideological ones). Money is just paper/coins which you can print anytime you want if you control the resources.
I’m quite fascinated by these literary magazines… London review, paris review... I never understand what’s going on. I never know _what_ I’m reading. Is it an actual review? A short story? An article? I find being in this state as a reader quite interesting. It’s what drew me to HN in the first place — programming seemed like a wondrous, mysterious new thing to me, a new frontier, and it’s quite clear the makers are very intelligent, just as the writers of these magazines seem like a notch over news journalists.
I remember rewatching T2 on computer after seeing stan winston studio showing props. The movie shows a lot of these physical props for very small frame numbers. Very hard to notice if you slow things down but at normal speed it just flows through the context of the scene. It's a minimal amount of detail that your brain needs to have to accept continuation. Probably a byproduct of the time.. can't CGI all the things so you have to optimize and find the best bang for your bucks in every dimension.
I think it really says something that Facebook has to pay 20k/year extra in base salary for the same level compared to other FAANG companies to attract developers.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit this, but when someone lists that they work at FB on their dating profile, I assume they either aren't paying attention or have dubious morals.
It would show the app store url, which most would assume to be the developer themselves pushing the app store link and not Apple itself
Belarus has problems right now, but US farmers on the side of R2R have been buying old John Deere tractors as in the article and modern ones from more repairable vendors like Minsk Tractor Works.
The other reaction is "why didn't I write more comments". Old me hated future me, I guess.
One political party in the US is ideologically wed to the idea that government, _any_ government, cannot accomplish anything. That would be a big reason way you hear so much of that point of view.

This bill will lead to a bunch of rural internet being a lot less crappy. Will it be perfect? No. Will it be better than it was? Yes.
I have my own hair-brained theory. The Roswell incident was one of many after WWII and during the cold war. If enemies of the U.S. suspect that the U.S. has access to advanced alien technology that may be one of many psychological deterrents to hostile activity. Theoretical aliens may have theoretical weapons and theoretical armor that render all modern weapons inferior.
Doesn't it make far more sense to just put solar panels in a field like this, instead of doing custom work putting them on top of individual homes which may have shade or directionality issues? Even disregarding the agriculture happening, why don't we do this more often?
I thought this is well-known, read about it quite some time ago. Something about suspiciously low prices of their products in age of surveillance. Same vein as ie Xiaomi or Huawei in cell phones.
> I still see GNOME as the most practical DE to run - but it's telling that absolutely nobody uses it as shipped: at minimum they install dash to dock or dash to panel, re-enable minimise buttons, and install a system tray extension.

And all those things can be done easily, intuitively, through a GUI. Kind of a testament to Gnome if you ask me. I don't mind the default behaviour though. Minimalist and nice.

Just outbid Apple by paying Google 24% of your gross income, likely >50% of your profit (assuming Apple has 6% payment processing/gift card and bandwidth costs; from the Epic trial we know Google has 6% costs).

Apple's cost is probably significantly less here as it is a small app and most of the bandwidth is in the streaming, which Apple doesn't help with.
Reminds me of one New Years Eve party where Aliens was playing on the TV and a friend walks past and says "Watch Bishop's severed body now as he grabs Newt to stop her getting sucked out the air lock...", and clear as day you can see the lower part of the actors body come out a hole in the ground when he grabs Newt. I had probably seen the movie a dozen times before but never noticed it.

In a similar vein, just after having watched X-Men 2 in a cinema a (different) friend who did CGI animation for a living pointed out that during the scene where Magneto moved the bridge, you can see that the shadows on the water don't move with the bridge. His theory was that the special effects team were likely completely aware, but looked at the amount of effort required and hoped no one would notice. I never noticed the problem myself until it was pointed out.

I guess back then when special effects were monumentally difficult and computers weren't as capable as they are now, directors often relied on the audience's attention being elsewhere at that moment and thus being less likely to notice.
Why don't you go add a few more SQL injection vulns to your Mastodon fork, Fosco?

You and I worked together briefly and your incompetence was evident even then. You were unable to answer even the most basic questions about the area you were supposedly an SME in.
I run a big portfolio of mobile apps, and the discussion around this is misguided. It's not about Apple taking 30% of the revenue generated from these ads.

It's about Apple driving up the user acquisition costs for these companies so much so that it become entirely uneconomical for them to buy ads that direct users to their own websites, and instead the campaigns that target users to download the app - which results in 30%-to-Apple IAP subscriptions - become much more attractive again. So Apple is trying to make the cost of running these ads so prohibitive to the companies that they stop trying to drive web subscriptions and instead go back to driving app subscriptions only, where Apple gets 30% of everything.

As you can see it's even more sinister than it first appears - it's not a short term land grab, it's a long term strategy to prevent developers from legitimately acquiring users outside of Apple’s walled garden.

(Looking at the economics make this even more clear. Let's say Tinder has a $100 subscriber LTV (lifetime value). If the user purchases the subscription in the app, Apple takes $30 of that, so if Tinder wants to run a marketing campaign on Google, Facebook, etc that drives an app install, they can't pay more than $70, otherwise their spend has a negative margin.

On the other hand, if tinder can use these ads to get people to subscribe on the Tinder website, they have a ~$97 LTV ($100 minus 3% payment processing fee via stripe/adyen/etc). So now they can run a campaign on Google where they can spend up to $97 to acquire a user, much more than the $70 before. And because Google and Facebook inventory availability scales non-linearly with your maximum bid, a 38% increase in acquisition cost allowable could mean a 100% increase in available inventory, and potentially higher quality inventory at that.

But if Apple - with their unlimited cash pile and not caring about negative margins - comes in and soaks up all this inventory by bidding the same $97 for every user, all of a sudden the cost for Tinder to acquire these users goes way up and becomes negative margin. At that point, the rationale thing for tinder to do is stop running these campaigns. This means they stop getting web subscriptions, stop diversifying their business away from Apple, and Apple maintains its iron grip on Tinder.

Remember, in this case Apple is paying $97 to acquire a user who will generate $30 for them (30% of the $100 LTV), so they're massively in the hole on this spend. But they don't care because their goal isn't to profitably acquire users; their goal is to make the costs for Tinder to create a more diversified business so high that Tinder stops trying to. That's some f-ed up sh*t.
I would be surprised if anyone gives you money. There are many other free puzzle websites that exist that have those same features and are free.

One comes to mind that has multiplayer: https://jigsawpuzzles.io

But good luck, and have fun making the thing :)
Why not use Amplify Console for hosting with a CDN?
Compression may help but that would be best case 10-30% (which is worth or not depending on the use case).

Deduplication means ~20x smaller backups so this is absolutely key for me.
Notion used to offer a free premium account if you were a student - not sure if that's still available. The OP seems to be a student.

Error Messages in Haskell, and how to Improve them
That doesn't sound very plausible to me. Your theory is that there are criminal gangs sophisticated enough to create large DDOS attacks but so clueless that won't use a cheap virtual server and a VPN when setting up their public intake?
On the one hand, it’s a sign of technical prowess to be able to accommodate browsers going that far back.

On the other, it’s kind of embarrassing not to have a barebones version of your website load in case an old browser is detected. IE5 had Ajax after all, what more does a search box really need? The answer? Endless tracking and cookies and phoning home. God forbid someone uses a browser we can’t use to collect infinite metrics.

Makes me wonder, does bing work with lynx?
I sometimes wonder if these "tricks" are still better than CGI. A bit like using LED wall with Unreal Engine as Hybrid rather than everything CGI.

Sorry that was your experience but you should probably know, stylesheets and extensions have never actually been considered stable. I don't know what distribution you were using but if you were using those things, it would probably make sense to wait until they're fully tested before upgrading. If all the extensions/stylesheets you're using are complex then it seems it would take a lot more time to update those, sadly. Yes I know this thread is trying to make a comment about unstable software, there are plenty of "stable" desktops you could use but in my experience those have a lot less feature velocity than the big "umbrella" projects. So it's a really trade-off, it seems that at some point you will have to sacrifice some of those beloved features if you want to prioritize something else, such as stability or portability or design choices or anything else really.

I've read the blogs and I don't really agree with any of your comments in the second paragraph, especially the part about destroying themes. I'm currently developing against libadwaita and one of the benefits that it (already) brings is much better theming support. I also have never actually seen the code of conduct enforced on anybody, most people I interact with are very respectful. Although if you have something you want to ask to Tobias then you might consider asking him directly, I can't speak for him. Just please remember to be kind.
Futuristic app ideas for 2021 and 2022 (no BS like the other articles)
Data corruption isn't a data race.

I think what you're imagining is just "What if people use Rust to write bad SQL queries?" which again, not a data race. Stupid perhaps, unlikely to give them the results they expected, but not a data race.
That sounds like a Python specific problem...
Would three wheels be enough?
Ruthless move by Apple - but brands like HBO should just take Netflix's queue and not allow in-app purchases.

I was actually surprised to learn some of the app native brands mentioned (Tinder, Bumble) even had a way to sign-up for a subscription outside of the app. Seems like they would actually benefit from apple placing adds.
I found this article nearly impossible to read, it’s just so angry. It’s accusatory at every moment, it maligns essentially all of the worlds largest technology companies in an introduction before even getting to Vizio (the point of the article, per the title). I often feel this extreme writing style hurts more than it helps. Very difficult to convince people your cause is just with this tack?
What incentive would any individual company have to join such a blacklist? Re 1, California says you can't refuse to hire someone because of criminal history (https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/labor/discrimination/ban-the-bo...), so refusing to hire b/c they worked for FB sounds like it would be doubtful.
Hey. It's only hard because most movies are still a blurry 24 FPS mess. Look what happened to the Hobbit movies. I had a friend complaining more FPS suck because he was able to see makeup and everything else wrong with the movie. That's why certain directors don't want any advancements in this area. It will make their job a lot harder than it is now
I agree with the sentiment aimed at boomers in general is not warranted but the op was talking about boomer management style which is just a subset of that and it is what we have in large part now
>Free speech is a core liberal value.

That is true of classical liberals, but not neo liberals.
I assume downvotes are because you seem to be equivocating based on the recent rebranding.
Same here. The universe tipped back into balance when they didn't bother to reply after me asking about the role. :)
> It seems hard to believe that removing CO2 from the atmosphere could ever be less expensive than not emitting it to begin with.

This is the "get rich by saving money" fallacy. Imagine all the CO2 of a century of industrial development had not been emitted. We'd be enjoying a life without man-made climate change, but also without any of the amenities of modern life.

Consider that air-to-fuel companies are pretty close to profitability with just a modest increase in carbon taxes. Consider also that countries like Germany spent a lot of money on transitioning to renewables, with very little to show for it. Once you picked the low-hanging fruit, there are no more "savings" to be had without drastically cutting down on production. At that point, you might as well turn some of that production into sequestration.

> So the whole thing seems like a fraud.

I get the same feeling with electric cars, solar panels and wind turbines. Why? Because these have all rolled out on account of lavish subsidies, not because the market decided they are the most efficient solution. Just put a price on CO2 and watch the market figure that one out. Results may be not what you expect.
>Money is nothing but a sophisticated
barter system.

I think we are all in agreement there. But it has such sophistication and is so amazingly efficient that it has an intrinsic value as a mere concept. This is because it enables activities that would otherwise be impossible. A good analogy would be a computer program. This i think is where we differ. But i think it's obvious that money is more than "nothing"- after all it sustains the entire banking industry.

>The difference (some would argue,
improvement) is that shekels have a
worth of their own, so can be stored
against harder times

Again this isn't (and was never) the true reason for money. It was only a security against the money and helped people to visualise the concept better (i know i'm oversimplifying but i think that's the basic idea)
I suppose one watch out is to not get too comfortable with the "isn't difficult" part. That seemed to be the root cause of the extended outage at Roblox. That the "it all works together" bit lulled them into not really researching the impact of changes.
I have a wallabag instance and its only purpose is to help me file and forget and not experience FOMO or guilt or stress. I know it's there if I ever need it but in 4 years I have read maybe 20 articles out of 7000.
> We are going to go extinct with that attitude

I understand your point and I agree (within limits) but that makes it no less true. Side note: total extinction of the human race is incredibly unlikely at this point and certainly not from climate change. That's not to say that huge numbers of us won't die in the process.

> the laws on nature do not owe us a cheaper method of producing energy

Of course not but increasing fossil fuel costs ultimately make other forms of energy production economic.

> The Moneyed classes have never given up anything willingly: the end of monarchy, the end of slavery and even labour laws were won in blood.

I agree but that's really a whole separate topic. The unwillingness of the ultra-wealthy to pay for the society that makes their wealth possible and the legions of people who adamantly oppose the ultra-wealthy just being slightly less ultra-wealthy is a recipe for disaster.

The ultimate form of wealth redistribution is war and revolution.
LOL if you can't get your own employees to want to you use your product you might have a problem .

As an adult, I use a GCM manufactured by Abbott, which allows for scanning and recording data, charts etc. I inject appropriate insulin dosage after reading the GCM scan. The software and hardware are proprietary for use with IOS. The package is very effective and accurate, and very expensive if you consider how much insulin, needles and the consumable GCM cost together. It works and I have been able to get very good, tight control using their system. Until OS software and hardware catch-up, this might be a good intermediate step for those who can afford it. Pumps are always going to be problematic until they are simple enough for youth to understand and maintain them, since most Type 1s start out at a young age being insulin dependant.
I recently had my Athena limit increased to 25 for my account, so that’s no longer true.
Unlike predatory pricing, you can’t really price people out of this permanently.

Tinder in this example is still getting the customer. Google is still getting paid.

So the moment Apple stops buying the ads, they’re both ready to participate again. So how is it a long term play?
Sorry, where in the article do you see that Apple is running these ads in a way that loses them money?
My audience is mostly software people! There are tons of interesting parallels in type design, though that’s a much smaller practice community.
On the Amazon part, the harm is caused by your book losing value during the Amazon give away and a while after.

For instance any other seller of your book is affected, so you potentially lose distribution channels.

Customers also get attracted to Amazon, but your book is only seen as a bait, and when it goes back at the regular price it will be less desirable (some will have negative feelings of having missed the sale, some will keep seeing your book as something only worth giving away).

If your book has a short shelf life and you didn’t expect much of it, or if it’s a stepping stone into a series and you could have given it away anyway, Amazon footing the bill is a boon. Otherwise it probably shortens the life of your book.
>If it was that easy they wouldn't be trying to push backdoors in companies, going as far as leveraging Five Eyes nations to legislate backdoors and carry out surveillance on their behalf,

Just because this would be easier for them to have official backdoors doesn't mean they can't ever do anything given enough interest and funding behind it.

>eventually blaming "Russia" for every attack based on trivial IP geolocation

There's plenty of political reasons to state that (even if they were to know otherwise) and if they actually do have more accurate information on a different entity it could avoid showing their hand if they just attribute it incorrectly.

>The reality is that the FBI can't beat maths and has no leverage over services from foreign companies. i.e, a Russian VPN on a clean VM is probably enough to skirt the whole of the FBI.

Probably can't beat math, but if the FBI is running the supposed "Russian VPN" that gives them lots of information. You only have to make one mistake and you could potentially out yourself. (Assuming you don't have further layers to fall back on)

>US digital intelligence is, for all intents and purposes, a paper tiger in 2021. The whole thing is a farce to give the appearance of sophistication to act as a deterrent.

Are you willing to bet your life that this is the case?
