You kind of have to be a rebel to get that knowledge. Most teams don’t want developers talking to customers or spending time understanding the domain beyond their next ticket, and even in that case they’ll get a product managers distilled version. If the industry has courses/exams and a path of its own that’s helpful so you can get the knowledge that way.
And each led connected to power by its own lead. Incidentally, are those ornaments electrically-powered? Don't they need leads to provide power?
Exactly, my point is it's stupid terminology. I use the word "mean", not "expectation". That brainwashes people actually "expecting" the mean to happen, which in this case, it never will. Treating the mean as an expectation of some sort is just not a good formulation to strategize about this game.

GGP said "you are expecting a profit of $901" -- I'm not, personally. I'm "expecting" -$100. How about we take a bet? I'll expect -$100, you expect $901. If I win you give me $100, if you win I give you $100, and if neither of us wins we split the $100K. Deal?

This is a game theory problem, NOT a statistics problem. In my case the utility of losing -$100 is zero, the utility of gaining $100K is very positive, the utility of missing out on the $100K is extremely negative.
Thanks for your feedback!

yes, you are spot on about the quality of the tags being low for most searches. The current refinement algorithm will get better as more and more people use the service and that would reduce the number of suggested tags and improve their quality over time.

I am however working on modifying the algorithm to make the refinement more useful for current users.

The problem with this is that the mass of clueless kindergarten attendants are fed a steady diet of complete nonsense by curated and cultivated media outlets pushing very specific self serving narratives, which these obedient clueless drones in massive hordes then go out into the world and behave politically and economically exactly as those who treated them like the wind-up toy soldiers they actually are intended.

And the more defeaning the silence is when the idiotic ideas these people float about as plausible and desirable things, the more confident and less cautious that they are in support and pursuit of those things.

As somebody who spent the last week reading Facebook post after post from these people specifically in Australia not just defending but promoting concentration camps, military round ups and forced medication, I cannot emphasise enough caution in the idea that they should just be left alone in their harmless walled gardens with their amusing but inconsequential fantasies, not subject to the trauma of critical inquiry by third parties.
If there was a standard checksum request within HTTP, sure. Otherwise you're going to break some workflows with this kind of aggressive caching. Maybe it should be an opt-in setting (and maybe it already is).
You're missing the part where this interfaces with the classical finance system. The whole organization that wants to buy an NBA team exists in the US legal system, and that is the point that will be regulated, the fact they get funded with USD via a bank or crypto through a pool is irrelevant.
Posting flamebait to troll precedes 4chan by many years. 4chan really isn't that old in the grand scheme of internet things, and isn't truly the originator of very much. Virtually any form of trolling you might find on 4chan was pioneered somewhere else many years before 4chan existed.
That is the beauty of this book, there is no need for any extra resources. Install SICP package in Dr. Racket [1] and start reading the book. Try your best to solve the exercises, and don't give up easily on the exercises. Thinking over the exercises and solving them is the best way to assimilate learning from SICP. I read only the first 3 chapters, and relied on notes from Eli Bendersky [2] to check when stuck with exercises.

No, nothing visual about it. I can just hear it internally, and command the playback (start over, ever). It's not 100% perfect recall, though, I should note. Parts will be blurry, especially if it's only a song I ever heard a couple of times years ago. But the key thing is that I'm not hearing a conceptualized representation of the music, but the original audio (though somewhat compressed). So it's not that I'm just hearing/remembering a chord progression -- I can recall the original sound source, effortlessly.

I don't think this is super rare, btw.
It's an article about someone's opinions about storytelling. Who cares what political team some person connected to the project was on. Are you claiming this invalidates their opinion about screenwriting?

This has been my experience as well. Beyond a level an engineer creates value by being at the intersection of product/UX, business, and tech; by being able to seamlessly transition between them.

As a consequence if one changes jobs say every 2-3 years (different domains) then they become generalist engineers.

In my experience one has to spend 10-12 months at a company to pick up a domain by being deliberate at it. It may look like a big investment but the payoff will be significant once they have sufficient context in their head.
Years ago I spent time trying to improve my mental eye, similar to your suggestion. I would try to imagine and/or remember simple shapes. Didn't help much. Maybe if I had stuck with it (for a long long long time).

To execute a double spend, you the one sending the transaction and the miner must coordinate.

For large transactions, it is recommended to wait for six confirmations. (six blocks that agree with the transaction and have not been 51%ed.)

The 1 hour 51% cost of Bitcoin is 1.9m$. However, you would need much more time than that to find six consecutive blocks alone, without the help of the network. So, while the network is 6 blocks ahead, you need to find 7 blocks. The network moves forward a block, you must move forward more than one block to catch up. This could take a long time, and longer the more confirmations required- each confirmation makes each previous transaction exponentially more secure. Simply controlling the mining power momentarily only puts recent transactions vulnerable.

However, that much hardware is available for rent-see “Nicehashable.”

I don't see how this is a co-op. The voters are neither workers nor customers. Their voting power is directly proportional to the size of the stake of the company's asset's/money they own. That a publicly traded corporation decides to concentrate day-to-day decision-making power rather than hold a full shareholder vote on every small matter is an organizational choice. Many co-ops have boards and execs too.

How many people do you know that run their own email servers or host their own blogs? Ah, yes, Web2 led to monopolies because the only practical forms of monetization were ads and subscriptions, and now 99% of internet traffic routes through FAANG servers.
Evil is the correct word when understood in context.

World-wide, iron smelter and steel mill workers died within 5 years of their start date from lung damage. There was no OSHA back then.

This only changed when smelters scaled up and became more automated.

Note that post-WW2, 25% of Chinese farmers were recruited to work in village-level smelters (the crucible was the size of a home washing machine.) The quality and efficiency were terrible, so pointless. However the 25% loss of agricultural production was partly responsible for the death of 40 million Chinese peasants (CCP transition narrative: "Three years of bad harvests from natural disasters.") And where do you think the "ore" came from? Mostly from peasants' pots and pans and local government wrought-iron fences.

Hmm ... sounds like the current White House "renewable energy transition", doesn't it?

I’m not sure this should be your example about what a DAO actually is, if you were to choose between the ones that currently exist.
PoS is a flawed system that enriches the project founders primarily. Just look at Charles Hoskinson or Gavin Wood.

PoW is apparently bad for the environment. So it leaves us in an interesting situation.

I'm not very particular about reading so I'll just steam ahead on even the crappiest books.

For nonfiction books I mostly put myself in the mindset of learning or conceptualizing the content in a more abstract way, like building a mind map.

For fiction, I picture the story like a movie, which distracts me from bad writing, so this book hit that sweet spot for me, personally, where I could imagine the world and the events but also conceptualize the abstract content.

I actually wish I could read more technical books that have fiction and technical concepts mixed like that!

Edit: Also, for as much as people complain about DevOps here, I'm amazed so few people have read this book. It's literally the book that invented DevOps as a term, right?
Site is perfectly fine. It’s nearly the same content as libgen but with a nicer search engine and a recommendation system.

The SEC regulates companies that publicly issue stock and the intermediaries like stock exchanges on which that stock can be traded.

The company bit of the equation has not been disintermediated. In fact, that's the whole point of this transaction: to create a publicly traded company.

I don't agree that contemporary usage defines the language. We have a canon of English literature reaching back centuries, and people use phrases from e.g. Shakespeare without eveen noticing they're doing it. I think it would be a shame if learning contemporary usage should fail to equip you to read Shakespeare.

Descriptivism is all very well; but it doesn't seem to allow for any usage to be actually incorrect.
There have always been flat earthers. The internet lets the freaks meet and tell each other that they are normal. Now the algorithm fuels it and the media amplifies it. And yet the earth is still not flat, and somehow, still spins.

The difference in Proof of Stake is a lawsuit could force the distributor of the software to change the hash to one where coins weren’t stolen. As most developers are not pseudonymous, this poses a threat to the honesty of the system.

You mention “POW forks”, but Bitcoin’s POW has never been hard forked: you’d need to trust a Bitcoin expert to tell you if it was a good idea.

> But 0.9 bar isn't equal to 1. Oh! I see what you did there!

This is a foundational problem in our anthropogenic decimal system of math (which we only use because of the evolutionary accident of a modal (n.b.: not average) human happening to have ten fingers); the whole issue doesn't even exist in the only correct representation of numbers, ternary (base-3).

For example, let's multiply 1 / 3 * 3:

In decimal `1.0 / 3.0 == 0.3 bar * 3 == 0.9 bar` and we've proven that 1 equals 0.9 bar, which is clearly nonsense and falsifies the whole concept of decimal representation of numbers.

In ternary, though, `1.0 / 10.0 == 0.1 * 10 == 1.0` -- see? no contradiction. Maths just work properly if you use the true numeric base.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. I will not be taking any blasphemous questions from unbelievers about dividing and multiplying by two.
So you can sit around in your new subreddit with enough subscribers that you can count them on your fingers, posting freely, while /r/politics (or wherever) has a subscriber base measured in millions.

Reminds me a bit of the "free speech zones". It's a poor facsimile of true freedom of speech.

Seeing as the new public squares are, by and large, digital spaces controlled by megacorps, we need to expand the first amendment to apply to private enterprise.
I guess, this is for historical reasons. Mind that there is no such thing as a single, cached image. There's the downloaded content, a decoded bitmap derived from this, a buffer for any instance of the image, which may be clipped or distorted (and may have local color management applied, e.g., converted to 8-bit color range). (At least, it used to be that way. I faintly remember that this used to be a 4-step process.) When memory wasn't ample, any of these, but the instance buffer(s), may have been purged, and an instance buffer doesn't represent the original image anymore. So it makes sense to get a new clean image in the original encoding.
Expectation of "profit" actually just means that you expect to make money from the investment, not that the money you make exceeds the money you invest.

While ongoing profit from the investment itself is nice it's not legally required. For example, stock in Uber is a regulated security, even though Uber has a history of losses and is not expected to be profitable in the near or distant future, if ever.

Similarly, loss companies were once frequently sold to savvy investors needing losses to offset their taxable earnings from other sources, and those investments were similarly regulated securities even though there was clearly no expectation of profits.
The blog post was from a day or so before the worldwide press caught onto the variant. It specifically complains about the Guardian's early coverage, iirc.

While listening to Derek Sivers and Shane Parish talk about reading, I found Derek's comment to be, what I think, is a way to 'go deeper': assuming you've made highlights in a book, when you finish it, spend time thinking about each highlight. Take unnecessary words out of the highlighted text. Get to the core of the words that really triggered you to think different. I've yet to do this.
Thanks I thought this was a Verge article and was surprised to find the link led to the home page and couldn't figure out what it was all about.

So if I'm understanding this right: OP actually posted a link to the Verge home page during Black Friday to showcase how "Affiliate marketing has destroyed tech journalism". But there was never an article on this topic?

Shouldn't it be titled "Show HN" or "Tell HN" then? Because the title and link were so confusing and I wouldn't have figured it out without this helpful comment.
Freedom of speech is not the same thing as requirement that others listen. If someone has no audience, with all the platforms that are available, it's not because they're being censored. It's because nobody cares what they have to say.

unless you've got 1000 cores OR are severely i/o bound, 1000 threads seems mostly useless. OTOH, "severely i/o bound" tends to describe client/server computing quite well, so maybe that's just what you need.

my stuff isn't client/server computing, my threads are generally compute bound, and having (lots) more than there are cores would be counter-productive.

regarding the private mining attack:

proof of work proves that not just one miner had sufficient hash power, but that the entire network had a certain aggregate hash power that was required to mine the block.

can't this be emulated by requiring all major stakers to sign the block? (so rather than one miner staking being enough, all the aggregate staked was required to mine the block)
neat! it would be cool if you could just auto-join a game
That's not because "int is 32 bits wide", though; that's because you're on a machine whose native register size is more than 16 bits, and so your processor's MUL instruction likely expects to always write the product to a 32/64-bit destination register, even if the source registers are both 16-bit.

IMHO C is far too lax with things like this; an ideal systems language would force you to annotate maths operations with
the "working precision" for each operation, making explicit any promotion done to the inputs before the math happens. And then, if your "working precision" exceeded the destination variable's size, you'd also be forced to do an explicit demoting cast, just as if you were assigning from a declared larger-sized variable.

Yes, it'd be mostly irrelevant for everyday int math stuff; but it'd make things so much clearer as soon as you started working with floats (where you'd have to explicitly opt into Intel's 80-bit extended "working precision.")
You can create and fund one on Twitter over a weekend…
It's not that nobody wants to listen. There are plenty of people who want to listen, but the megacorps refuse to let the talkers and listeners connect.
So, a company (DAO) says it's going to use investment money (token contributions) to buy an asset (copy of the Constitution) and fails to buy the asset...and then the stock (token) goes up 30x in price?

The Party Math Trick
Maybe they are good books, but I found that most of these summaries are bland and generic, as in these phrases:

"The book is strictly about career development and it has a lot of insights ..."

"The book is filled with classic and fresh anecdotes, thoughtful examples, ..."

"This book is amazing to understand the corporate structure and how you should behave ..."

These generic praises aren't good enough to overcome my threshold of interest, so to speak. A better way, if I'd suggest, is to pick a choice quote from the books. Quotes can be hit and miss, but when they click, it can pique the reader's interest in a much more acute way.
Most people will go with less. Print the page. Signature it by pen. Scan it send it per mail. The other party prints and signature it and send it back.

A scanned signature is not a handwritten one and it leaves you with a sub-standart signature. But courts accept it while it even if its not to the letter of the law.
As with bounty hunters, the samurai protagonists of Japan, and cowboy protagonists of the US, are all technically morally ambiguous, but it's widely understood their stories are about a hero.
I genuinely don't understand the fear generated by the youtube-dl storm in a teacup. It's a great example of the system working: someone thought they had a DMCA case so they filed a takedown, the takedown temporarily removed the content, then after a review the content was put back up.

This is just evidence that this particular slope isn't as slippery as some thought.

Can't wait for the day all PoW mining activities are declared illegal.

To be honest, I don't understand why it hasn't been banned already.

Sweden has recently called for a EU wide ban because it identified PoW mining as a threat to transition their economy to renewable energy.
