Google goes out of their way to make their websites only work well in Chrome (and Safari, somewhat).

This killed the original non-chromium Edge. Not sure if it fits a monopoly definition but it is definitely not good behaviour.
With which part do you disagree?
And how is it mixing and matching these APIs? Given that there's an OCI-compatible runner for jails (runj, compatible with runc -- which is what docker uses to start containers), it seems to me that Docker isn't in actually using the flexibility afforded by the APIs here, but is just using a relatively fixed set of options.

If I'm wrong: what is it using, and what problems is this flexibility solving?

> However, correcting a biased system requires that there is a period with enforced change bias to correct the existing bias.

I guess all my calculus and systems theory textbooks were wrong, then.

Seriously, though, there are myriad problems with this premise:

a) It implicitly assumes that the system itself is biased instead of its inputs.
b) It assumes that the system isn't already being corrected based on the first- or second-derivative on the inputs.
c) Feedback loops (enforced change bias) can result in nasty exponential on oscillational responses.

And in the context of the code itself:

d) The code assumes the problem is systemic across all public departments and thus must apply to all of them;
e) The code makes suitability to position (which is the point of hiring a professor) secondary to considerations irrelevant to the position. (Plain English: given two candidates, an old, experienced, non-racist white guy who tries to each and encourage all of his students vs. any candidate of one of the protected classes whose biases run toward their protected class, you must hire the biased candidate. And you can't tell if they are biased because the current environment enables that candidate to continue their bias in the current environment, which is to attempt to lift up those protected classes at any cost - if they exclude other protected classes or "white guys" it won't show up as a negative on the demographic statistics assembled.)

I agree there is a discrimination problem with certain people, but I don't think the solution is ever going to come from legislation like this. I think the solution has to be grass-roots and be done by gradually retiring out those with generational unconscious bias or by firing those that are outright discriminatory, and by gradually hiring in a younger generation that is (hopefully) less discriminatory.

That's a lot more work than making a half-assed law and winning votes because of that law, though.

I was the overall TL of FB's Metric Platform for some time. I would be interesting in learning how it works.

The site only kind of tells me what its not, not what it is? How does it work?
So let me get this straight.

You think a contract where one party can unilaterally cancel, present no evidence to anyone, and keep the money paid is somehow fair and just?
As an immigrant I can tell you that the USA is basically Jurassic Park. The monsters are mostly predatory companies. It can be a lot of fun but it’s very easy to do worse than die - to end up a slave for the rest of your life to one of the predators. Along with bullshit like making options trading available to kids, debt is probably one of the velociraptors.

It is a trap sprung at the very start of your adult life when you’re most vulnerable, as a student loan.

It’s sprung when you’ve lost your job, are vulnerable and are about to become homeless.

It’s sprung when you’re already in debt and vulnerable, by other lenders.

Anyone see a pattern here? Debt preys on the vulnerable, turns them into something that delivers returns for decades to the holders, and wraps all that up into tidy looking financial products.

The business of debt is the financial equivalent of the US pork industry: Everyone treats it as part of American life, but the details would make most people throw up.

Anyone remember microfinance? That was the same play: usury with a fresh coat of paint.

I’m seeing posts here making it sound like 36% APR is acceptable. Look up usury folks. This is it. Debt that is intentionally structured so that it can never be repaid and keeps the borrower harnessed to the cart.

It’s incredible how folks, particularly in the US, have become this morally uncalibrated.
Well here I think the Haskell abstractions chosen here are a bit unfortunate. I mean it's nice to use Applicative and Alternative but when you've got that

p <*> (q <|> r) = (p <*> q) <|> (p <*> r)

or at least that these are equivalent, then you might want to step back and wonder how on earth distributivity got into it. And after thinking for a few seconds and realizing that the parser which parses the empty string and the parsers which parses nothing correspond to the neutral elements for <*> and <|> respectively you might start to suspect some things.

Anyway personally I reckon the proper space for dealing with these questions is by treating the space of parsers as a semiring. Although for parser combinators you break the commutativity of addition, but I can't find a better name than semiring right now.

Basically you can show that if you've got something that sends the space of strings to a semiring then you can turn it into a linear map on the semimodule formed by simply multiplying strings and values of the semiring in the obvious way. You then get a semiring of parsers by using composition and addition of linear maps.

Parser generators as described in this article are essentially based on the semiring formed by functions with composition as multiplication and f + g = f as addition (note, not commutative). This is wrapped in an 'Either' which also seems to have some semiring structure that I can't be bothered to analyse right now, though I noticed that <*> and <|> translated pretty neatly.

Anyway all you have to do to get your Viterbi/HMM equivalent is to use the semiring formed by real numbers with 'max' as multiplication and ordinary multiplication as the addition operator.

HN has definitely changed the conversation for developers, hackers and entrepreneurs. YC has also had an outsized influence on the tech world in mainly North America and to a much lesser extent Europe. Meanwhile they are a negligible force in China, Asia, Africa and Latin America where there are many regional accelerators. But they did inspire many copycats and thats their biggest contribution. I assume there 1000s of accelerators/incubators around the world now.

The policy changed pretty recently, a friend of mine married to a Chinese citizen, and has been living there for almost a decade. They left in 2019 because the attitude to foreigners working in China, and Chinese going abroad has undergone a sea change. There are strict controls on capital flows, it's much harder to get work or visit visas for Chinese going abroad, many Chinese working abroad have been put under pressure to go back. They left before him working there got untenable, and it got too hard for his wife to leave.

This has been masked over the last 2 years by the pandemic, but it started a few years before.
Based on the comments I thought it was about pirated content. But it seems focused on the spamming issues. It also looks like they have been focusing on document sharing with the new look that shows Guests and Members in Workspace.

- If a file is blocked from sharing, can i duplicate and re-share?

> Capitalism is merely private ownership of stuff.

That's a very narrow definition of capitalism. It's not just 'stuff' that is privately held, it is also the means to generate profit and a very large chunk of the available capital. The effects of that go way beyond just 'stuff', and can make it next to impossible for someone born at the bottom of the stack to work their way up. Of course, some inevitably succeed at this and they are held up with great fanfare to prove that 'the system works' but on average, if you are born at the bottom your life will likely continue to at that level of society without much chance of upward mobility because the system is stacked against you.

And payday loans at exorbitant rates are a mechanism that keeps people down.
A judge crosses ethnical boundaries when they research questions of fact, they are not crossing ethical boundaries when they research questions of law. The scope of a law clerk's research is restricted to legal questions such as legislative matters, case law (as you point out), etc... It would not only be crossing ethical boundaries for a clerk to research a scientific finding and use that finding to advocate for or against a position, a judgement that is made on the basis of independent research is grounds for reversal by an appellate court. Here are some additional sources you can review on this matter:

An article from an official provincial court's website about whether judges can use their own subject matter knowledge to make a decision:

https://www.provincialcourt.bc.ca/enews/enews-16-02-2016

> You cannot transfer money out of country legally, pretty soon can't invest in other countries's stocks.
Not true.

Also not true. FuErDais are praise on TV, movies, etc... Crazy Rich Asians , the movie , was a huge hit in China for example, etc... Money and superficiality have always being huge in China (even to get married, you need to buy a house , a car, and give the girl's family money (CaiLi)).
> You have to work 9-9-6. Which is why many citizens are lying flat
Highly depends on where you work. But is not standarized, and there have been recently a huge push back from the goverment about this.

Literally that's what VPNs are for, many chinese companies offer VPN services to mainland users, etc.

I suspect it was far more than 1000 emails, because my small company got one. It scared us and wasted significant time (eg as we carefully read the relevant CA law). At the time we concluded that it was highly likely to be a phishing scam and archived the message with no response. In addition we decided not to respond because the person asking the question was not a paying customer. I definitely did feel threatened by the way the email was worded.
Heat pumps generally have a coefficient of performance (i.e., number of watts consumed vs. number of 'heat watts' moved) of ~4 with modern systems. So, compared to resistive electric heat (COP=1) it's roughly 4x as efficient. It gets worse in colder climates, (such as parts of Sweden...), but you should be doing better most of the time, as you aren't at super super cold temperatures all the time.
Well, looking at the following things sort of gives it away:

I recall Vaclav Smil saying batteries are consistently about 2-3% per year over the long haul. It's not a Moore's law scenario, but a very slow crawl. "Miracles might happen," he says, "but would I bet on a miracle happening? No."

> I cannot see a world in which use of NSO tech is legitimate. Get a court order to tap the phone line, etc.

In general, I am against government overreach, so I agree with a lot of what you said.

However, let us say I have a court order to surveil person X - how am I ever going to get all the information when they could be communicating via a phone call, SMS, iMessage, whatsapp, gmail, facebook messenger, signal, telegram, discord and a myriad of other mechanisms with a myriad of identities. The easiest solution for me (the snooper) would be to surveil your entire phone, including click history and screenshots when feasible. No?

Once again, let us forget the person side for a minute. Let us talk about someone with genuine need to surveil. How will ever do it with today's technology? It aint easy.
No. We have to replace a service with incentives which are not always on the user side with something that is a distributed volunteer backed free replacement.

>PiS voters won't care as long as the state gives them money

TBH, I'm kinda tired of this "PiS voters are state dependants" notion. Sure, it's heavily popular in rural religious east but there's also a certain urban demographic that's being underrepresented by other parties. I'm in the 25-30 yo bracket, Warsaw, BSc summa cum laude, three foreign languages, top 1% earner (which is not that hard to achieve in Poland working in modern tech). If I were to vote today, I'd either skip the vote or vote for PiS. Also got some like-minded friends. Anecdotal evidence, sure. It's also a case of "but all of my polls showed Hillary and Remain over Trump and Brexit".
Unless you’re entering an agreement where you MUST wait a year before paying the second loan off, it absolutely makes sense to compare the APR of those two loans. If you could pay the second loan after a day, you would save money.

Because I thought demand usually peaks at certain times of the day (e.g. early in the evening in California: https://www.pge.com/en_US/residential/rate-plans/rate-plan-o...), and actually bottoms out during the night.

The main One Weird Trick that I remember from messing with ffmpeg is that for in-browser viewing, I had to generate a lot more mp4 reference frames than the default.

The extra frames increased bandwidth consumption, but surprisingly, only slightly rather than big bloat.

Indeed, that's a consequence of how the price is artificially calculated within the European electricity market. To avoid providing advantage to electricity resellers having providers with lower production costs the price is calculated according to the price of the last connected plant at any given time within the interconnected grid. It's most of the time natural gas or coal plants because of the "flexibility" needs.

The cost of electricity production in France is currently lower than Germany, but the resell price is currently close due to those market rules.
