Not that I think any of that is excusable but a lot of studios have been churning out garbage and expecting players to swallow it and say thanks.

Look at the infinite multiplayer debacle right now, probably the worst f2p monetization I've seen since the f2p model started taking hold like 20 years ago.

So many games release as barely working beta states right now and I think players should be angry. How they take it out isn't right and often who it's directed at is wrong but a lot of the times AAA and the like Game Studios are just putting out bad products and anger I think is a valid feeling to have when as a player, you see that.

So people are only allowed to live or visit places with sufficient density that you're in cycling distance of a train station? (And heaven help you if you can't cycle for some reason.)

Even in countries with good train service and lots of cycling, this certainly isn't the case today. Good luck locking everyone up into urban areas.

Smug and lacking intellectual curiosity
In one of the previous threads on the influence of the CIA on the media, someone mentioned that there was a documentary about this. It's called "On Company Business (1980)" and it features interviews with former CIA directors and various officers and also with lots of critics [1]. I managed to find a copy of it on YouTube and it's absolutely amazing and can't recommend it enough if you want to hear about the creation of the CIA and their work from principal actors [2]. Among many other things they discuss, it details how the CIA infiltrated the media.

It seems to me that the only difference between 40 years ago and today is that some TV networks and media companies are not even hiding their association with the CIA and hire former CIA officers in the open as "analysts" so they can push their agenda.

We can look at the interface for MobileCoin in Signal to get an idea of how bad this is. We're prompted to "add funds" by sending MobileCoin, and the "learn more" button leads to an article telling you to buy a "supported currency" (only MobileCoin) on some exchange. So it's fundamentally useless unless you are already into the cryptocurrency speculation sphere, in which case you almost certainly have something better to use that MobileCoin.

Remember the Signal PIN which is used for recovery of your account? It now lets you recover all of your money too, so that's going to be a great target for spear phishing attacks. That feature got a lot of pushback because nobody could really work out what it was supposed to be adding to the software, turns out, useless cryptocurrency.

This is an AGI-hard problem that's roughly equivalent to "convert arbitrary free-form natural language text into a program that queries over arbitrary databases, email servers, or even physical records".

Actually, even worse than that, because FOIA requests are often written by non-lawyers trying to sound like they're lawyers. So the free form natural language text is horribly tortured pseudo-legalese.

> Move a pan slightly - now you’ve pressed a ‘button’

With mine moving the pan on the wrong plate will trigger a lock button, in other words it locks the whole interface. So even if you want to switch the whole thing off you first have to press a button that's now as hot as your pan.

There's no escaping horrible user interfaces.

> Maybe it's a result of wealth inequality and monopolization?

Well, the author did compare the current rate of innovation to the dawn of the 20th century, when (according to him) we had plenty of new ideas. But wealth inequality in 1900-1920 was comparable to, if not higher, than today. The raise of the middle class in the US didn't happen until after the WW2.
This is a concern only if you have ungraceful node termination Ie you suddenly yoink the node. In most cases when you terminate the node, k8s will (attempt to) cordon and drain the nodes, letting the pods gracefully terminate the connections before getting evicted.

If you didn’t have k8s and just used an autoscaling group of VMs you would have the same issue…
I know about virus this much:

what is a virus?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tryg5UCp6fI

I know Dana White of UFC was vaxed and still he got the virus over his thanksgiving break and was cured within a week.

I didn't want to take the vax shots, travel to my doctor was too difficult to figure it out, I have had 1 of the 2 required Pfizer shots needed for access to public space. They had 3 brands available and Moderna was in the middle. The consent form detailed complications and you sign on the dotted line knowing bad things may happen to cover people's asses.
It isn't helpful to pretend that the LAPD and NYPD are somehow the fault of conservatives. The fact is the largest police forces which receive the most criticism are mostly free of conservative input into how they are ran.
Genius and dead at 34 - if you read between the lines, it said it all.
In my experience useful scientific knowledge is accumulated in people actively working. Documents (books, papers, guides, programs, talks, blog posts, etc) are communication tools, but are limited by the medium and the ability of the authors. People can consume documents and create analogies to their specific work, but from there it's the process of working that produces: experts, systems, tools. Sometimes those products are again documented.
It starts in the schools. Public school teachers train the children which news sources are "authoritative". And it doesn't matter how wrong they are, how much they lie, how bloodthirsty they are about any war, people do as they are trained.

It's very common for TV news personalities to have direct ties to the intelligence community, and it's no surprise they are mouthpieces to the regime.

Ask HN: Being asked to send in code and sign a dual NDA for an interview?
Hello. I am interviewing for a company and they've moved me to final stages. They asked me in the first interview how I like to be interviewed/what interview tactics worked for me. I said to go over code in depth that the interviewee has worked on and is proud of. So this is how they are interviewing me for my final stage which is fantastic.

Thing is, 99% of the code I'm proud of and want to show off are my own projects which I've put a lot of time into, and are profitable SaaS apps. Not enough to negate a day job, but enough to afford life without one. I have a lot of free time and I found a company I'm very excited to join that is very in line with what I am doing.

I'm not against sending them code, and it's not that I don't trust them, I am just trying to find the best way to go about this without sending all the code to a fully working and profitable SaaS app.
Congress controls federal spending, not the FBI. It's not impossible, but I think it would be difficult to get legislation to impair the states' sovereign police power through Congress and the inevitable court challenges in the unlikely event such a bill were passed.

On a more important note though, perhaps you should back down a bit from your authoritarian stance. It's not a good thing when your first reaction to people disagreeing with you is coercion justified by a complete lack of empathy.
Astra Zeneca, Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson + Johnson are traded on US Exchanges. It was a global effort with the vast majority of financial power coming from the US.

Right, except that the FDIC is only big enough to handle $N in bank failures, and N is not that large.

Also, resolution through the FDIC means that you get your money... eventually. That can still be a problem if you have to pay your bills this week, though. (And then, if you and enough other people can't pay your bills this week, that can be a problem for businesses...)
It does feel a bit like we're trying to monkey patch compiled code but the benefits are pretty clear.
Outstanding. Thank you to correct me! It is so weird that a mainland Chinese company is "arranging" delivery of a vaccine from Baxter (a German company) to Hongkong that is not approved by mainland China. Simply bizarre.
Yeah, every time I get back from a trip to mid-town Manhattan, I end up realizing after the fact that I was just a block or two from the Empire State Building, but had no idea because it looks just like every other building from ground level. From NJ or Brooklyn, the Empire State looks like this incredible thing. From Madison Square Garden, it looks like a Marriot.
Not that I think it’s a good idea, but it seems pretty simple. Just enforce it like the mandatory insurance requirement. Add a field to tax returns and fine people who don’t have a gun.

Again, mandatory gun ownership is stupid. But it’s relatively easy to enforce at scale.
Or "automating" it but wrong and/or with enough banana peels tucked away in the code to cause 60 hours of net frustration and refactoring effort, down the line.

But hey, it passes CI so who's gonna know?
That website is poorly named. It's not about computer science any more than a resource on anatomy is about medicine.
Hmm. Either the Time’s guide is inconsistent or they changed their rules between 2010 and 2015.

You’re correct about Chicago (you do RC); at least my 1969 copy.

My 1959 Strunk and White doesn’t seem to have anything about this, but it also doesn’t have an index, so maybe it’s in there somewhere.
Is that entirely correctly? Don't secured bond holders get their assets back (or at least whatever the bailout ends up being)? Something akin to FDIC?
The problem with this theory is that the current top-weighting is not all that much higher than during previous historical periods. There's a decent overview [0] covering the historical S&P 500's highest concentrations of the top 10 stocks which ranged from a low of 17.5% in 2014 to a high of 25.5% in 1980. It's a little under 30% today. Needless to say, the returns over the decades following 1980 were some of the most consistently positive in history [1].

I feel the same logically. I’ll be 35 in a couple weeks and I’m also an avid text fan, but lately I’ve noticed that I shift to video searches for things a lot faster. I thought about it a little, and I think that maybe I’ve started doing that because text search is a mess today. SEO has won on text search, but it takes a lot of effort to produce a good video. I can often find a good video for some things faster than I can hunt down a good text overview or tutorial. Then of course, I’m often more interested in the text included in the description because it will point to what I need in more detail.

My eyesight is terrible but 175% is the sweet spot for me on Edge. 125% is still way too small for me.
Interesting; so privacy and others for the politics. I did it for a few years when I started working decades ago, found it tiring and never did it again. It rapidly separates like minded people from people who do not like me and that is almost always reciprocal without knowing them. Privacy is interesting; I cannot imagine how you work with people every day 8 hours and then have shields up!
More people have moved up and out of the middle class, than down and out.
I'd argue taxes and the bloat in industries such as education, healthcare, and real estate are the driving causes -- all heavily regulated and subsidized by the government.

Facebook controlling what is equivalent to a central bank is scaring regulators. No one wants Mark in charge of the money supply.

Rethinking Feedback
Am I missing the joke or something? You quoted a sentence from just above the updated statement that Google has confirmed the issue and working on solving it.
As for "legal title," you have "legal title" to whatever the sales contract promised. If access to full battery capacity at the expense of service life wasn't in the contract, then you're not entitled to it.

That's definitely not how physical property works.
I love that idea. It's decades away but I love it.
> it is simply the truth that we treat veterans horribly, many people in the military joined because they came from underprivileged backgrounds and needed a way out, and we send them into horrifying situations and simply discard them when they get home.

It is not "simply the truth." I point to 6,000 veterans and you point to... what, a story on NPR?

On OC I started a Slack channel on VA issues, thinking they must all be fuming about it. No one joined. I had a Townhall with a lawyer. No one had VA issues; all of their legal questions were about their discharge papers (DD 214) and eligibility for various benefits.

It is simply the truth that the vast majority of vets never see any combat. The tip of the spear is very narrow.
The skyscraper point is tremendously silly. Sure, the max height has slowed it's march (though not stopped!), but far more supertall towers have been erected since 2001, than had been previously. This is because of cost decrease and technology improvements. (As an aside, a lot of this is owed to work resulting from the 9/11 attacks).
> I dont care what side of the issue your on, you cant think this is ok.

IIRC, this is just some (anti-vax?) attorney being maximally biased and ginning up controversy to help his side.

The time estimate result is probably just simple consequence of a massive request + strict FOIA review requirements (perhaps legally mandated and not optional) + limited budget and staff.

Frankly, I don't want the FDA wasting my tax dollars to hire a bunch of staff just to make this guy quit complaining.
More losses than what? Again, offense was slightly favored over defense, which is the only relevant comparison if you're trying to evaluate the claim "charging into machine guns doesn't work".
This article echoes a major theme of Peter Thiel these days. The Atlantic is owned by Steve Jobs widow Laurene. I wonder if they are in each other's circle? I don't buy it. For example, we don't make blockbuster films because the focus has shifted to making great and bingeable series on streaming services.
>>I feel like I'm being argued with by younger people still in the phase where they're in love with the city, extrapolating my points into general indictments of density.

I'm actually an empty nester, and I took my car off the road like 2 years ago cuz I never use it. I put in a server room, electronics workstation, basic woodworking, and a bunch of 3d printers. Couple that with being in a small 'city' now (500K people) and I really like the balance. Plenty of space in the house (1700 sq ft), no huge yard to maintain, can get pretty much anything delivered, no septic/well to deal with. I'm very happy with how its working out for me. On the other hand, I think I only have a 7500sq ft lot (1700 of it covered by the house), so others would probably consider it small - especially if you want a pool in the backyard.
We have a similar case in The Netherlands ( a military whistleblower ), but I have given up on trying to combat this American Exceptionalism.

I do wonder why so many really want it to be an American thing.

It is not.

+1. Further, when accounting for the fact that images can be represented in arbitrary color spaces, the representation in Julia images seems quite thoughtful given that Julia has no problems doing fast loops through the structs (unlike Python), or equivalent exposing an array like view on demand.

Storing images as arrays of unsigned 8-bit integer seems quite primitive in comparison!

it seems you want something that's less CS (math) and more algorithms. I would highly recommend the classing TAOCP (https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/taocp.html). If anything, your IQ bumps by 10 points just by putting the book in your shelf.

It's a really fun book, tons of exercises and never gets old.
Indeed, and wiring money overseas has also never been easier. I regularly send money from Norway to family in Africa using online remittance services (there's quite a few to pick from) and it usually takes less than 15 minutes for the money to go through (and they get a pick up notice from their bank). Because of competition, the FX rates are very good. No crypto involved.
Right, but I dont see any scaling issues? So I wasnt sure what was being referred to or if "im doing it wrong"?
There's absolutely a meaningful divide along party-political lines on confidence in the police and belief that they are doing a good job in protecting the population from crime.

I would argue that nicotine is not a controlled substance, so it doesn't fall under this definition anyway.

But, that said, it is totally valid to argue that a definition is wrong, misleading, or incomplete. Has nothing to do with whether I like it or not, but thanks for saying that.
Maybe this won't be a popular opinion, but there are some non-CS-specific works that really helped cement some underlying principles.

Namely, the fun stuff like "Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games" articles, "Gödel, Escher, Bach" by Hofstadter, and "The Cyberiad" by Stanislaw Lem.

These require a bit of thoughtfulness applied to relate to CS. And it was specifically worthwhile to actually work through the number theory stuff in GEB.

Isn't the Wireguard implementation in Cilium between nodes only, not workloads (pods)?
This is great news. I had to implement PACER integration back in my days at Gusto for compliance and the pricing among many other things was very annoying to work with. The pricing is based on "number of pages" returned, which means that when you submit a query you don't know exactly how it will cost you ahead of time.

> why make something boring when you can make it fun?

I think all your points are completely, well, on... point. However, the last 2 are really the meat of what I think others can learn from when trying to replicate the success this has seen. They are also, imo, the hardest. Branding takes time, effort and skill which not everyone has. You can recruit help for this, but that requires buy in. Making it personal can achieve this, but as you said, it can necessitate vulnerability which is a bridge most of us just can't quite bring ourselves to cross.

Thank you for your efforts and for adding to the discussion here. I for one really appreciate it.
You thinking his question was “why don’t we have taller skyscrapers” kind of demonstrates his actual point that we just seem to assume incremental improvements. His question would be “where is the next disruptive innovation in work/life housing, like skyscrapers were?”

Yes, 100%. Needs to be part of a social ethic, societal changes.

Because there will still be competitive pressures, I’m not hopeful. Your social group says “we’ll glide down by X%” and my group will say “great, we’ll maintain or grow and in a generation we’ll dominate”. Often religiously driven (think competition imperatives in thr Middle East, or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiverfull])
I'm not sure if the actual limit on exhaust put up by the EU are more lax then the ones but up by the US.

But what was lax was the control, and what was ridiculous the consequences (or lack of such, at least short term) when wide spread manipulation was found.

By over protecting certain companies some countries like especially Germany have maneuvered themself in quite a bad situation both image wise and economical wise. And it's not just cars in some other areas similar ill fated decisions are done too, where overprotecting certain companies impeded innovation and made that companies less able to compete on a global marked.
This feels a lot like a headline that appeals to the prejudices of readers of The Atlantic.

Objective reporting is dead (whether it was a thing to begin with is a different argument). Magazines/news outlets now are just products catered to their primary demographic. Overt bias is absolutely everywhere even though they pretend to be objective. It's virtually impossible to get a balanced take on an issue nowadays without doing a lot of research for oneself.
You’re sneaking in the presupposition that the market dictates support for crypto payments. But isn’t that a complete fantasy?
