Yeah it's weird, at my dispensary in WA they do have some setup where you can pay with a (debit) card but in addition to a $3 service fee they also for some reason have to round up to the nearest multiple of $5 and give you cash back.
Yeah, I think this is uncontroversial. If your problem domain generates strict, well-defined requirements, agile has less to offer.

There might still be some useful agile practices, and you could have the less defined work (eg internal tooling?) be more agile.
Surely, someone did at some point do some work on the roads in your neighborhood outside of the example you're bringing up? Well, that's taxpayer money, and Google is a big taxpayer.
I left before the current change. From what I gather in news reports, they're not currently roadblocking on it, but they've said they will.

For the 2016 tos, we definitely roadblocked. I think it was display it once every X days, and after Y days, you couldn't send messages until you accepted the tos, server enforced. If you still didn't accept, your account would be idle and would be deleted 45ish days after the roadblock.
I can only imagine that such a massive enterprise would be entirely conducted by the US Government, probably any of the military branches(is Engineers Corps still a thing?)
As I mentioned in a sibling comment, it's coming more from a bubble and some hubris on my part for thinking my bubble is connected enough.

In my city, people don't visibly use AirPods a lot, none of my iPhone-using friends have one, and I haven't seen news/articles about AirPods at all since the original announcement hubub. I foolishly assumed that I am getting a representative sample of the world from this point of view, and I ended up commenting based on this foolish assumption.
Quoting the article,

Let's go step by step: Gambling is putting down money in a game of chance, that is divorced from physical reality. It contributes nothing to the real economy, horse races do not provide any goods or services. Like horse racing or slot machines. If the US economy collapses, slot machine works the same way.

Value of Bitcoin is providing a real service that functions, payments. Etherium provides computation and used to power crypto-kitties, etc. It was operating for 14 years and it's security functionality is proven. You might think it's function is crap, but that's a separate argument. If Visa and Mastercard collapse tomorrow, that would have a dramatic effect on the value of crypto. If a major government adopts it as a national currency, that would have an effect to.

Therefore it is very much like investing in a startup. Now, the individual people investing into it might have no idea how it works, but how is this different from idiots and speculators among retail investors - Elon Musk tweets about Signal, and value of Signal Advance, a totally unrelated company, goes up 1,100%? That's not gambling but bitcoin is?

I am certain that most of the folks here calling it gambling are not objectively sceptical, they are very salty.

I have accepted things for what they are, I mined my first two bitcoins, spent them on beer at a funky pub in Prague when it was worth $50, and never touched it again. People in the community ranged from anarchists to bankers, and they were more passionate about their work than any startup founders I've seen. I am not envious of them and I don't call them names, I appreciate that they've introduced something completely new to the world even if the outcome is a bit questionable.

NFTs on the other hand seem to have no merit behind them whatsoever, or at least so far I could not see it.
I think 16-bit support is actually a limitation of x86 CPUs. They can only go into 16-but mode if they booted as 32-bit. A 64-bit CPU running in 64-bit mode is incapable of running 16-bit x86 code. It is not a software limitation. This can be demonstrated by installing 32-bit Windows and enabling 16-bit support.
Not sure if your comment simply stems from a misunderstanding or you intended it as a pithy way of saying that, as consumers bear the cost, investors will see the opportunity to relieve their pain and move to compete.

Either way, though, the problematic piece (and primary rationale for antitrust law) is that it's the consumers who are bearing the cost.

A lot of YouTube's "customer service" people are poorly trained contractors in India, may of which don't even understand English well. I've gone back and forth with them sometimes being asked for things that I clearly provided in previous emails and one time I got a reply with instructions that included a bunch of You Tube internal network only links (that were in India which is how I know where they are), then when I replied to that without providing anything they asked for (because I can't get to the links) was told I wasn't being cooperative. So its not always AI being dumb.
Stepping just a little beyond regular ‘loop and filter’ is already difficult without consulting the manual each time — being exacerbated by the impossibility of finding those things in the manual without skimming through most of it. Making an ‘if’ for variations in the input structure is easily a twenty-minute job. Outside of the basic features, Jq's syntax is increasingly arcane and unintuitive—maybe those working with it daily do remember the ‘advanced’ stuff, but I don't.

I actually collected a sizable list of alternatives to Jq:

https://github.com/antonmedv/fx

https://github.com/simeji/jid

https://github.com/jmespath/jp

https://jsonnet.org

https://github.com/dflemstr/rq

https://github.com/mgdm/htmlq

And there's someone else's list of stuff around Jq: https://github.com/fiatjaf/awesome-jq

However, personally I think that next time I might instead fire up Hy, and use the regular syntax with the functional approach for any convoluted processing I come up with. Last time I mentioned this, another HNer made a Jq-like tool with Lisp-like syntax: https://github.com/cube2222/jql (from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21981158).

There is absolutely no way, if Windows was to switch to the Linux kernel, they'd base it on any existing distribution. That is hilariously panglossian. The result would be a weird fork like Android or ChromeOS.

I am a fan of linear, critical, singular lists of 5 whys.

I am not a fan of the matrix of whys that some companies have decided to begin implementing because of 1 blog post high up on Google searches that suggests to use matrices to organize multiple root causes.

They don’t need to be combined. I would rather see multiple RCAs each with a singular concrete cause, than a single RCA with a 5x5 matrix of intermingling causes. It makes it harder to address and dig through each issue accurately in context - you’re always reconciling the causes against each other to form a cohesive story, when there’s actually a good chance that there were separate, unrelated causes to your incident.
I am pretty sure that is also a 90% - 10% issue as well. 90% of user's App complexity dont grow out of those MySQL comfort zone.

I suppose I'm not young any more, but I'm not all that old (late 30's). I tend to agree with you. Whether one likes or dislikes the changes, it makes investing in writing documentation (or recording training videos, which is even more expensive) impractical. This in turn makes the half-life of knowledge investments on the part of users shorter (independent of the age of the learner). I don't think it's just you.

Well-defined UIs can help by making discoverability of features simpler, but more often than not, but I'm not convinced the industry understands the difference between "the UI is easy to navigate and discover" and "the UI has soft colors and rounded corners on everything."

Even if we can't get workable signatures from cameras, we can create workable signatures by reporters on videos they took. A reporter's reputation will become valuable. Currently (many) people believe video even when it's posted by shameless, obvious liars, because hey, the video can't lie, right? Once it can, maybe they'll actually care more about the error record of the news outlet they consume from.

It's still not a great situation, because it means when a casual passerby takes an important video for the first time, it will have trouble getting any traction. But maybe it's at least a silver lining.
Yes, the focus on features, and ongoing lack of bug fixing, is maddening. This applies to big companies as well as small.
Gross. At the end of the day you don't have a job but its at least nice to have a little dignity left over.
That’s not an Easter egg. But also I would expect the baker to warn me that it had cream cheese if just to set my expectations.

I have a tea jar in the kitchen and it’s full of Earl Grey instead of builders tea (eg Darjeeling). If anyone makes their own tea I warn them that the tea jar is Earl Grey and I have builders tea in one of the cupboards above the kettle.

I don’t do this because the Earl Grey is an Easter egg. I do this because I’m not a dick and actually want people to enjoy their cup of tea.
This is solved by making Windows a subsystem of a Linux-based operating system. Much like Wine, but actually maintained by Microsoft, providing a completely isolated and bug-compatible environment for legacy apps, and a leaner implementation for future win32 APIs that map more closely to Linux primitives.

Thanks for your comments.

We agree that in most cases prophet is not a good benchmark; however, we wanted to use it because it is one of the most used libraries in forecasting. For that reason, we also tested the solution against AWS Forecast obtaining better results.

Besides the better performance and scalability, the pipeline we created considering all the stages of time series forecasting: preprocessing (e.g. missing value imputation), creation of static and dynamic features, forecast generation, and finally evaluation using data sets of important competencies. (https://github.com/Nixtla/tsfeatures)

On the deployment side, the entire pipeline can be quickly deployed in the user's cloud using terraform. This allows for less development time. (https://github.com/Nixtla/nixtla)

We should stop using the Five Whys for root cause analysis, for this and especially for post mortems. The reasons are obvious. A “root cause” will almost never be exactly 5 whys down, there will almost never be only one root cause, and the reasons are a cyclic graph, not a line. The five whys are also random. They change based on on who does them and which why you randomly start on. If it feels like an awkward and difficult root cause analysis tool, that’s because it is.
I wonder how the people on the zoom call have reacted to the situation.
While a bit of an extreme scenario, I can imagine it being useful for high-level actors with their own private vulns which they'd like to keep on the down low unless absolutely necessary.
Sure, assuming that's the only way to trigger that code path.
We missed that, sorry. At the moment, for forecasting the pipeline uses the mlforecast library (https://github.com/nixtla/mlforecast) that builds upon sklearn, xgboost and lightgbm.
In addition, we are about to include state-of-the-art Deep Learning models from the nixtlats library (https://github.com/nixtla/nixtlats/).
Most pro's I watch (like: Lawrence Systems) don't like the UDM all that much due to lack of features. While you get a single pane-of-glass for managing the Wifi and Router, having some other product for a router tends to be better (PFSense or OpnSense). I've been running both for for 6+ years now and like it.
There are many opinions. Not all opinions carry, or should carry the same weight. Phrased more specifically, not all opinions should gain the same credence.

For example, we know the vaccines have side-effects, including these inflammation issues in young men (biologically male). We also know that unvaccinated people who actually contract COVID-19 and suffer a severe course (hospitalization) are anywhere from two to four times more likely to die within a year of hospitalization from all-cause mortality than those who've been vaccinated or never contracted COVID-19.

Given what we know, Bayesian reasoning should have us update our credence in the opinion that says you should get vaccinated, that you should wear masks indoors, and that you should observe rules of physical distancing if possible.

That these reasons happen to line up with crony-capitalist agendas is sad but coincidental. My opinion (attach whatever credence you like to it) is that this simply means we are being drastically overcharged for the vaccines, but still need them.
I was a little confused by the title. A "minimum wage" usually refers to the minimum amount set by government that an employer is required to pay by law. This article refers to private employer's voluntary wage floor, more appropriately called, "a starting wage".
Yeah, but if they REALLY wanted to, they could have emulated an 80268, it would have been plenty fast even in interpreted emulation. The whole NTVDM machine would fit in L1 cache.

My personal experience as well, but, y'know, plural of anecdote.
The thought does cross me that maybe I just don't recognize it. Then, while it is unambiguously harmful to the genuine vendor, what is the consumer harm (assuming it is not just garbage, or like, toxic etc.)?

That being said, there is a lot of stuff on amazon I'm honestly surprised is worth the space it takes up in their warehouses. And I have knowingly bought some low-quality stuff on amazon. But perhaps with the critical caveat of knowingly, I have yet to have a counterfeit foisted upon me.
This is nearly as absurd as that UserVoice thread where people clamor for full Visual Studio to be ported to linux. Never going to happen, don't waste a moment thinking about it.

That is correct, unless you did some due diligence and were fed incorrect information by a universally trusted authority, in that case you were deceived. You need to take personal responsibility until it becomes abundantly clear that you were duped into some behavior. You take responsibility for your own actions, you don't get to blame anyone. If you throw the bottle out the window, you polluted. The comparison to phillip morris is not apt, is Coca-Cola claiming plastic does not harm the environment, no they are not. Phillip Morris claimed smoking did not cause physical harm, very different.

Don't let yourself fall into a state of victimhood, where if you find your behavior producing outcomes that is not optimal you start looking for external forces to blame, you need to start taking responsibility for your own actions.

Fortunately, when there's wage-driven inflation there's enough effective demand in the economy to produce enough supply to provide enough taxation headroom to offset the effects of wage-driven inflation on people with fixed incomes.
Technology has also improved in many other areas: exercise physiology knowledge, nutrition, aerodynamics, lab testing, PEDs, bouncy shoes, etc. It's tough to isolate how much of the total improvement was caused by fitness trackers.
He could put the easter egg externally, e.g. create a page on his site that would react differently if fetched with the curl user-agent compared to all other user agents. So all the code would be server side and it'd still be an easter egg, because you get it by entering a certain input.

e.g. curl hxxps://haxx.se/something-cute-here

Obviously one day someone might see that page in the browser, thinks they need to get an offline copy of it, does a curl and gets something different. But I guess that's a surprising behavior of the server and not the client. Lots of servers already do this to do a first-level filter against people who can't figure out how to set curl's user-agent...
I really like the five whys to get to the truth of what went wrong, but unfortunately, in practice you only take the whys so far.

For instance, where I work, if we have a large enough on-call issue, we have an RCA to figure out what went wrong. We use the five whys there to figure out what we could’ve done better. However, we usually only really go as far as the engineer’s actions that caused the issue. We usually don’t ask, why did the engineer choose to act in that manner instead of the correct one? Usually the takeaway is “We need a process to make sure engineer does right thing” and not “We need to make sure engineers don’t have too much work so that they have time and space to do the right thing.” I find it’s usually the latter is a better course of action but it’s hard to make those statements or requests, or if you do make those requests, management isn’t as open to taking action.
The pipeline we have developed improves the state of the art in the markets you mention in the following aspects:

1. It is a fully automated end-to-end pipeline for forecast generation. The pipeline considers preprocessing such as missing value imputation, feature generation (static and dynamic), forecast generation, and also a module to validate forecasts on important time series competition data sets.

2. Users can deploy the pipeline in their cloud quickly. We use terraform (https://github.com/Nixtla/nixtla/tree/main/iac/terraform/aws), so it is very simple to deploy the pipeline on AWS. We are working to release versions of terraform on other clouds such as Azure and Google Cloud.

3. Users can use their own models. Just create a fork of the repo and make the appropriate modifications to include any model the user wants to deploy. On our side, we are working to include Deep Learning models with the nixtlats library (https://github.com/nixtla/nixtlats/) that we also developed.

About benchmarking using statistical models, we highly recommend using statsforecast (https://github.com/Nixtla/statsforecast) that we created. It is designed to be highly efficient in fitting statistical models on millions of time series. More complex models can be built on the results to get a positive Forecast Value Added.

I mean, if your compiler does TCO and you can make your function tail recursive, it's usable in the real world, right? That's not all recursive functions, but "useless" seems a little extreme.

I write plenty of recursive functions in my (real world) job. Sometimes they're not even tail recursive (gasp) when I'm working with small data.

I’m not the OP.

It absolutely could be the case that someone is buying the dip.

But Tether does not make verifiable information public or have any bank acting as a custodian for it do so either.

It is at least plausible that this small firm which tends to avoid dealing with large banks in the US and which has avoided allowing itself to be audited is committing a huge fraud. That would not be without precedent in the history of finance.

It would presumably be easy for Tether to submit to an audit of their accounts by a large accounting firm.

IIRC, they were forced by the NYAG to admit that they weren’t fully backed 1:1 by dollars as they themselves claimed to be. And the period covered by the settlement was several years ago, so does not cover several years of growth in the quantity of issued Tethers.

No one has any evidence from inside the firm, but it is precisely the lack of evidence which makes many people suspicious.

You can also ask sqlite to load Verneuil as a runtime extension, without otherwise changing your application. That's how backtrace uses it for ad hoc query of read replicas in the sqlite shell.

The availability of read replica is probably the other big differentiator. If your code could benefit from slightly stale read-only snapshots on remote nodes, Verneuil VFS on a single writer node combined with the Verneuil snapshot VFS on multiple read-only nodes might be a good fit.
