There are some things I like, but never fell in love with them. iPhones died too fast. MBP had weird display glitches because of the lighting adjustment. The touch bar was less useful than a touchscreen. Keyboard is so bad that it's often the deal-breaker when trying to buy a macbook. It might be useful if I could just plug an external keyboard into it, but I need an adapter for that now and the adapter gets hot with all the things I put on it.

I mean the competition does a lot of things badly, but Apple products are badly designed too.
A 30-fold return is achievable with just over 7 percent average return after 5 decades. No guarantees of course but with diversified investments it's probably not much of a stretch. Stock Market crashes have typically recovered relatively quickly and continued on up.
No its not new. The Bayonne Bridge was raised just to allow the new bigger boats from China to get to Newark docks.

pokemon-go, i mean it is a game, it doesn't really exist, but it does exist, because of the augmented reality thing. (playing it with my kids, don't really know if it is good for them, as it blurs the line between the real and the imaginary...)
As I said the example was maybe written to quickly, bit you'd be amazed at how flexible the rules are when it comes to seconding things like "brings contacts within the field", " helps promote blah" and these are usually code for something close to "nepotism" IMO and something I strongly personally discourage against, but that example is still legal so ...
Yes, and without verifying that the owner is who he claims to be, exchanging keys is not of much value.
I guess genetic algorithms and very fast iteration times do wonders for releases!
The whole mask discourse has been heavily riddled with communication and terminology errors since the very beginning.

A mask is not a respirator, yet the two of these are regularly confused not just in the public discourse, but were even confused in official messaging during the beginning of the pandemic.

The WHO and health agencies the world over were suddenly asking people to "prioritize masks for at risk groups", which in some places was parsed as "no need to wear masks", as everybody was struggling to get medical masks, and particularly respirators, for the HCW treating infected patients.
I'm not sure if I'm reading these results correctly but the correlations they seem to be reporting in Table 1 look both really significant and really really small.

Which is an odd combination, if there was a strong causal link you'd expect both a big effect and high significance. You'd have to be pretty confident in the specificity of your test to rule out that there's not some confounding variable that accounts for the 10~20% of explained variance between most of their metrics (assuming they're reporting Pearson's correlation coefficients).
Incredibly juicy. When I was carving it, there was this little stream of juice that burst out like a tiny firehose. I felt like I was in an SNL parody.

My wife cooked it in a plastic bag. Also, I think it had never been frozen.

That sounds about right. Moreover, even if Seattle wanted to build something (anything), it would play out like this:
* 10 years of planning
* 10 years of lawsuits
* another 10 years of planning
* 20 years of very slow building

The famed light rail is supposed to reach Issaquah (from Seattle) in 2041. That's if everything goes according to plan.
There’s a great political satire novel by Peter Lefcourt called “The Woody” in which among many problems, a Vermont senator is being blackmailed by the Vermont mob which is the Vermont maple syrup distributors.
I meant “file sharing” more generally not “torrents” specifically (I edited my previous comment). I don’t know what exactly happened to my computer but I suspect malware. While not inherent to torrents, it does seem inherent in sharing of random executables. Have the trust issues improved? What are some good use cases of torrents?
You've conflated several things.

If you feel bad, that's just a fact; your self-perception is the only determiner of that. That is not necessarily the same as a situation being bad. And even that is open to interpretation: food hitting the floor is going to be perceived very differently between two people if one of them believes in the 5 second rule.

And I'm not even trying to say that feelings shouldn't be re-examined --- I would say the opposite, actually. But in an inter-subjective, inter-personal relationship, (which is the definition of human relationships) who is the arbiter of reality? It's the one-sidedness that betrays something. In a relationship, if someone says something that is taken offensively, even if they didn't mean it as such, if they cared about the other person (in the most basic form) they would still apologize and seek to clarify themselves. But the person who doesn't want to do that, they either have the intent of being offensive, in which case any defense along the lines of 'you just didn't understand me' is merely a shield for their own act of purposeful offensiveness, or the speaker is refusing to engage in any flavor of basic human interaction and is either effectively talking to an empty room or trying to force (or is deluded by) the notion that all other human consciousnesses mirror their own.
Interesting- so is the publisher saying they just publish whatever? The reddit discussion had some essentially ad-hominem arguments about the article, but the whole point of publishing in journals is the legitimacy and presumption of some kind of review, so normally one wouldn't need to care who wrote an article. If true, does this reduce to "The American Heart Society 'Circulation' Journal publishes research without vetting it"?

An alternative possibility is that the article is legit and has been subjected to scrutiny and passed, and the journal is editorializing because they don't like the findings. This doesn't appear to be the case here. Whichever is true, it doesn't bode well for the journal's credibility
Seattle does not bus students to school unless your house is > 1 mile from the school and then only if you are in the zone for that school.

I live in a NW Seattle neighborhood that doesn’t even have sidewalks that you could walk to get to the school if you wanted.
God they were good.
COVID has been weaponized politically. Any politician that doesn’t take part in counter-measure theatrics risks losing an election where they will be attacked for not doing enough.
The Leatherman MUT. I've carried it clipped to my pocket every day for ten years now and it's still going strong. Carrying six two-ended driver bits, replaceable blades, and a hammer end has covered such an enormous percentage of my use cases it's unreal. Having a steel poking stick on you at all times is surprisingly useful.
Personally I think reflection is the devil and the reason why we can’t abandon VMs for native compilers.
I get the same feeling too. And maybe that's fine. We are led to believe that we are over-reliant on a particular things like the internet or the shipping supply chain but we probably are not.

Most modern, massive systems seem that held with only spit and baling wire. This might not be true for infra like roads, bridges and dams. And there are things, buildings and structures that are 10s or 100s of years old that still work. Power plants and cars for example.
You’re missing the point of the example: The authors deliberate left the ground truth as vague but provided a not-100% but otherwise good faith explanation of one interpretation.

Then the listener discarded the explanation and inserted their own worst-case explanation instead.

Inserting the worst-case explanation as the certain explanation is the cognitive distortion the paper is talking about.

The point isn’t that ill intent is impossible.

The point is that it’s a mistake to be certain about the worst interpretation in the face of uncertainty.
Pretty sure (without researching this at all) that you're more likely to die in your own car crash than to be stabbed in public transit OR die in a public transit crash, combined.
>What in such a scenario gives the impetus to the charitable interpretation (that they simply could not get tickets)? which they seem to indicate would be what a 'well-adjusted' person free of cognitive distortion would assume.

Because thinking anything else requires Kim to believe her friends are liars or sociopaths. They obviously could be, and if there is a pattern they probably are, but if you assume that by default what's the backstop on the way to paranoid delusion?

>Secondly, while intentionality can be important, why is there so much weight seemingly being placed on it these days (or is that just my perception?)

Intent has always been part of the conversation, the question is which intent...the one stated or the one derived. Microaggressions are a pretty good example of this, in which acts that may have not even been perceived by the actor begin to create a layered story of malicious intent by the individual that perceived them as such.

>The main intent, it seems to me, at least by some, is to obscure the notion that humans and systems may act in ways contrary to their expressed intent. Much atrocity and discrimination has been predicated on actions justified by philanthropic intent, ie 'elevating the savages'.

And this, to me, is a good example of what happens as a result. First of all, we don't even know if it's true that intentionality is now more of a focus in conversations or not. Regardless, you've now imagined a concrete intent behind the increase you perceive and now assume it to be true. Intents being unfalsifiable, it's impossible to prove otherwise. So what happens in your mind now when you see someone explain that an outcome was unintended...are they liars? Why would they lie? What is the intent? The recursive nature of this question is the path to conpsiratorial thinking and delusion.
Could be really interesting for police or search-n-rescue operations.
The entire point of giving variants Greek letters is to use a neutral, easy to use term. It is mostly to avoid naming a worldwide variant after the country where it was first discovered.

Nu is confusing and Xi is not neutral. Omicron is good, and if it has to displace Delta, they should be careful about the name, because it will be repeated a lot.
"making a mountain out of a molehill" is not a conspiracy. I've noticed a long running trend with people calling something a conspiracy as a means to conveniently dismiss something they'd rather not bother with. The whistleblower was hired by the company pfizer contracted to do the trials as an auditor. Her very job was to audit the trials to ensure it was being done right. She claims she was fired for bringing it up. You don't see a problem with that? Why do they even have auditors?

Dr. Campbell did say it was cheap, because it IS cheap. Why do you assume its something nefarious. He also didn't make any promises that it was a miracle drug, only that read a good study in which it demonstrated SOME efficacy. That can mean thousands of lives saved, if there is no other alternative. I think the number was 62% effectiveness, but i'm not sure. He gave the good and bad. That's the sign of a straight shooter. Someone who treats their viewers like adults that can make up their own mind.
They launched Cloud in the US this month, very likely dedicated will be offered soon enough. The bang for buck on Hetzner is insane, really love them, but have and would rip them out of any business environment I come across, largely due to network quality and attitude to support.

If you haven't experienced Google translating insistently German responses from one of their DC techs you probably haven't been using them for long enough ;)

As for networking, would encourage installing something like Smokeping
replying to "Gladinovax":

>>"I'm doing great without one. No need to worry about longterm risks from a rushed vaccine. 1 year does not equal 10. Ever."

There are categories of knowledge where I'm profoundly uninterested in any individual's experience (best friend or stranger on the internet alike:). Simply put - a person surviving Russian Roulette does not make playing Russian Roulette a good idea, no matter how convinced they are and loudly proclaimed that it worked out great for them :).

I do not know your situation - maybe you've gone hermit; maybe you're in an area of low risk; maybe you're being careful; maybe you're the one asshole around and everybody else is vaccinated/wearing mask/implementing lockdown while you're taking credit for not getting your sorry ass sick; or (most likely but I have no way of judging), you're just lucky - see the Russian roulette above.

But in risk evaluation of this sort, again, I'm far far more interested in verifiable statistics than individual's lived experience.Don't get me wrong - we can have a nice round of drinks and talk about how last year's been to us and approaches we've taken and it'll be interesting and we can share; but it's not a policy-guiding thing.

Right now FP2/N95 are the only masks allowed for adults in public transport/supermarkets in Bavaria Germany. Cloth or surgical mask are treated like wearing no mask at all, unless it's a child up to a certain age.

Compliance in public transport and supermarkets is extremely high, pretty much never see any adult with just a mask, everybody wearing actual respirators.
Then I dare say there is not only one issue. Parking is also a huge disaster in many dense cities (and probably also results in a bunch of wasted driving time circling for parking!).
The BMW G650GS was the best bike I've had. Almost zero maintenance. Reliable. Amazing fuel economy. Decent on road when sat down. No probs doing 600km days. Decent off-when road standing up. It could handle deep sand when fitted with good tires. Not very sexy looking, but the perfect jack of all trades. And, yes, master of none - which is why BMW could not market it much further, I think. Pity.
Airpods.

I've owned 2 pairs for 4 years total now and they just work. Very convenient to use and the design is great and they fit well into my ears.
Most inconvenience I've ever had was that they sometimes randomly don't connect once in a while but a simple disconnect/reconnect fixes that each time.
People wear masks because otherwise they can't do basic things they used to do.
No, it seems to be a universal truth that humans _generally_ cooperate, else we'd have all killed ourselves off (or been forsaken to eternal tribal squabbling, never able to coordinate enough to build a "real" society).
My Parker safety razor. Simple, cheap, effective, no batteries needed.

I've lived in cities with a bus system that meant no wait longer than 10 minutes and no walk to/from a stop of further than a city block. Having a solid mass transit solution requires relatively basic infrastructure before anything else. We shouldn't be trying to create a relatively complicated system when we don't even have a basic one in place and working.

I would expect that anyone who has lived in a city with good, clean, affordable, basic, high quality mass transit looks on that privilege quite fondly. Compared to most (awful) systems in the US having once known such a system and now dealing with what much of the US has to offer will be either rage inducing or depressing (or both).
They are not clearly ads, for most people they are features. As I’m visiting lots of hotels, my main criteria for watching TV there is if there’s a Netflix button or not on the remote.
My wife and I have the Cinemark subscription and used to see an average of 1-2 movies per month. My son has a sleepover with his grandma once a week and we have date night.

We might start that up again once he’s fully vaccinated (mid-December) but otherwise we haven’t seen a movie in theaters since February 2020. I know the world has been open for most people for awhile now but for a lot of us it hasn’t been.

I’m really looking forward to taking my son to a movie in a theater for the first time in his life, maybe on Christmas day (he was too young when the pandemic started).
Am I reading it correctly? `const name = readline()` is blocking? Or it is some kind of async/promise?
> It’s perfectly reasonable to think X people dying is worth it to avoid Y people’s quality of life being reduced by Z, depending on the values of X, Y, and Z.

not if I'm part of the X group, for purely selfish reasons, and it's perfectly rational for anyone to not want to be in the X group, no matter what values assigned to Y and Z are.

So the crux of the problem isn't what you stated - it's that these decisions are made, and some people disagree, because either they are in the X group, or not. This is why conscription is required in a war, and this is why lockdowns are needed in a pandemic, etc.
>"You have to have real good taste"

Gross exaggeration. Just a bit of plain common sense. Do override operators to perform matrix ops. Do not override + operator to do multiplication instead. And do not subtract apples from cars.

As for your further example as I said give shitty programmer code in any language and they will manage to fuck it up.
Thanks for sharing it. I'll experiment how to parallelize my Robot/Selenium tests with it. ;) Gracias.

> > I imagine a fleet of buses directed by sophisticated scheduling and navigation algorithms.

> The primary reason we use large buses rather than e.g. minivans is that it amortizes the cost of the driver over more people. If it weren't for that buses would be less efficient because they're very often not completely full and to be completely full in most cases requires a larger vehicle to travel more miles.

> What you really want is, effectively, car pools. Someone was already going there and they just take on more passengers, so there is no separate driver you have to pay.

> But Uber already has this. It's called "driver destinations." You tell it you're driving to work, it gives you passengers near you who want to go near there. You make some extra money on a trip you were making anyway and now your car has five people in it instead of one.

> Is the problem just that people don't know this?

The problem is also insurance. Namely, mine doesn't cover ride shares, and here in Canada at least, most don't (unless you pay extra).
Seldon and Empire are the only good actors cast IMO.

The series seems more interested in shoehorning diversity and anti-establishment rhetoric rather than painting the political odyssey that Asimov imagined. I am imensely dissappointed with the show both as an interpretation of his work and standalone sci-fi series.
> And I wonder if a person free of cognitive distortions would even be referred to as human, as the quote goes:

There's a difference between emotional intuition and emotional reasoning (the cognitive distortion in OP's example).

Emotions are extremely valuable for decision-making (e.g. this house ticks all my boxes but do i love it?) and making judgements (e.g. this situation does not feel right to me).

Emotional reasoning is when people distort reality in favor of their (often self-destructive) emotional impulses, discarding physical evidence in favor of their emotions.
Egress does not mean S3 or Cloudflare. Egress is the raw pipe billing from AWS to the wider internet. Other services are priced differently.
When you get to kernel land it is "something async plus a wait"; there's no other way for it to be when the remote task is on a different core.

But it's a special wait that the scheduler and other systems know how to benefit from using vouchers/turnstiles/etc. If you look at spindump output you should see it.

In almost every case, inter-account and inter-AZ transfer will incur the same pricing as egress, especially if it travels through an IGW.

In our internal testing, it appears that AWS often applies the egress pricing twice, both when leaving the AZ where your instance(s) are located as well as again in the region where your customers are, after traveling through the AWS internal network; the first is an inter-AZ transfer, and the second is the actual egress from AWS' network.

So, it appears that the egress fees are nearly always not merely the oft-cited 8,000% greater than competitors, but twice that. AWS is not very transparent about this.

Understatement of the year: "Data transfer charges are often overlooked while architecting a solution in AWS."[0]

Is it structurally lacking or just culturally? You can get a bunch of kale for $2 in most grocery stores. Garlic, beans, turmeric, none of these are particularly expensive or hard to find.
The cognitive distortion is taking uncertainty and replacing it with the worst possible interpretation.

Nah, it seems the designers of this test, along with X percentage of HN, suffer from "low social intelligence". If there's an event where you expect to go with your friends and they call and say they you can't come, they have dissed you. There are no good reasons. If there's an event where I'd normally go with friends and we can't get enough tickets, we go elsewhere. That's how actual friends behave. If we can't get enough tickets and we want to go, we just don't tell the person, called a "white lie" - it's shitty but not as shitty as just saying "oh sorry, this event matters more than you".

The article is about imagined harms that only arise from different subjective interpretations of something.

Human society is based on a lot of subjective but well established interpretations of actions. The people who don't know or understand these are generally considered socially inept.
I think that says a lot about those people more than anything else.
Their password program was an example of this.
I'm amazed no one has suggested Chromecast. It just works. Click a button on your phone or laptop and the video or song you were listening to or want to listen to suddenly appears on the TV. Even grandparents seem to get it. Maybe Apple TV is a similar experience but Chromecast is as good as it gets
Airdropping an mp3 results in a “open with” menu from which you can pick any suitable app. In fact, Music isn’t even in the list of apps presented. The Files app can play mp3s natively in a QuickLook style, no Music required.
Even though I love my M1 Macbook Pro and iPad Pro, I have a lot of problems for them working together with my Android phone. I was thinking of switching to iPhone Pro Max (the only iPhone with big enough screen for my bad eyes), but it’s so thick and heavy (as thick as the tablet), that I feel like it would be uncomfortable for me.
