This is definitely something I could see myself being concerned about happening. Any advice RE: lawyers/how to handle the siblings trying to bypass the will? I've been told a living trust is something to consider. Thoughts?
Mental work vs. physical work, pick your poison. Self-hosted password managers aren't work-free, you have to set them up and get them working across all your devices and maintain them.

When I need to log into Nintendo's eShop from my Switch, I use my algorithm. How does that work for a self-hosted super long random Bitwarden password? I'm guessing I need to bring up the password on my phone or something and manually copy and compare it digit by digit into the Switch which sounds like a lot of work.
How is this any better than just searching DailyMed? Also, it's not returning generic drug labels when using a brand name (see: 'Avastin' vs 'bevacizumab' searches).
You can actually access the passwords via passwords.google.com. That is what I have been using when I need to log into an app on my phone.
I still use an older version of 1Pass specifically so I can run things locally. Sometimes, I wish I was ignorant to all of this stuff and could just be a plebe out in the wild using all of the convenient software out there. Just take the blue pill and put me back in the matrix. The knowing of all of this stuff just makes life so much more difficult.
So the answer to the question in the topic is (B) ~0.33 (can't see the answer because of the paywall)?

Doesn't seem to be a particularly tricky question unless I miss something, just basic probability theory calcs.
Parent commenter might mean EPMs (engineering program managers). They are basically project managers and keep software releases on time. They do tend to hold a lot of power at apple.

I don’t think I have never come across an actual product manager at apple. Design tends to make on most of that responsibility
I think it may not be handled automatically.

Looks like you could use

find /System/Index | RemoveBroken

and then you'd have to use SymlinkProgram to enable another provider of the shared libraries.

In a way this is inside-out from what Nix and Guix do, where their equivalent of the System Index (the Nix/Guix store) is the build target, and everything all symlinks point to that. That makes this kind of thing a little easier to deal with, at some other costs.
No talk about permissions, I think locking down access is also an interesting aspect of Unix Domain Sockets compared to TCP sockets.
From my understanding that's not exactly how Bitcoin mining works. It scales based on the amount of miners. So if the situation is as you described (value relative to USD tanks - which I find very unlikely due to inflationary nature of fiat) people would stop mining which would decrease the difficulty of mining causing it to use less electricity.

There are however miners using nearly free sources of electricity such as flared gas wells, solar, etc... If Tesla accepts Bitcoin/Doge for solar panels then you may have a system independent of fiat.

I'm just saying it's possible, not that I think it will necessarily happen. Like I mentioned I think BTC's value relative to USD will increase over time due to fiat's inflationary nature (Fed is targeting 2-3% inflation).
> unless you're particularly interested in memorizing math formulas for insurance calculations

Note that the formulas in question are the opposite of interesting formulas. They're just made-up regulatory rules about how much capital an insurance company has to hold in order to sell insurance. Everyone agrees that some amount of capital needs to be held. Everyone, except maybe some of the "actuarial scientists" themselves, understands that this isn't a scientific endeavor like discovering the laws of General Relativity, it is an arbitrary and convoluted "rule of thumb" type of formula, but it's better than nothing because you really do need to force insurance companies to hold some minimum capital and you need some kind of standard formula to calculate that capital in order for there to be a level playing field between insurance companies.

I think actuarial science undergrad students choose that career because it is one of the safest choices for someone who is good at math but has no interest in science or technology. They are allured by the promise of steady employment and a $100,000 salary, and vague visions of being a high paid "math AND business expert" for a big insurance company where they will get to make decisions involving large sums of money with scientific precision using advanced mathematical concepts.

By the time your young actuary has started working, they are already too deep in to be able to change careers. They made the "safe" choice, now they have to live with it. At first everything seems new and exciting. But 10 years into it, they have settled down roots and family somewhere in the middle of Iowa (because that's where the insurance company is located), knee deep into spreadsheets calculating "Solvency II" formulas for "quarter end." They don't get to make any business decisions, they barely understand how their employers' business even really works, and their career has plateaued at a mediocre level despite having spent 10 years writing all of the available actuarial exams. Unfortunately, that is the only employer of actuaries in town, so they are completely marooned. They spend their free time learning the latest tips and tricks about Excel VBA programming, watching the movie "About Schmidt" repeatedly, and mistakenly envying their peers who work in banking instead of insurance
Investment management is a classic example of this. CFA has a low pass rate (it isn't that hard really, tens of thousands of people do the exam in India and China so that impacts the pass rate), most people do it but, ofc, the really useful knowledge can't be tested...picking a stock isn't like passing a exam. And worse, you get lots of people who pass the exam, acquire false sense of confidence, and then make mistakes (or don't ever move beyond the "parrot" level of intelligence).

I think maths is another one, as conventionally taught. I hated maths at school because it was largely sitting down in a room, doing the same thing over and over again like a computer...quite reasonably, I asked myself whether this was a productive use of my time. As an adult, I have taught myself everything again, it was far more enjoyable and useful because I actually took the time to understand the concepts (and no, none of the stuff I did at school was useful, it was just mindless computation).

I don't necessarily think exams are a bad idea but they don't produce knowledge, experience, or real expertise. They are often misused (as is certification, I knew a guy who worked as a fund manager and was a senior member of the CFA for ethics and standards...he stole from employees regularly).
In my early 20s I played an MMO called Asherons Call. I discovered a vendor in one high level area that would sell bows for less than a specific vendor in a low level area would buy them, netting you a small margin per bow.

Being a programmer I wrote a script that used two different teleport skills (lifestone and portal recall I think?) and a bit of movement and clicking based on pixel (Color) matching to deal with latency, tweaking it over time, and started printing in game money. I would come home from work to a backpack full of D notes (unit of currency I adapted my script to convert).

Then I would sell these D notes on eBay. Did this for a few months. First month I made over 7k USD (I shit you not). 2nd month about 3.5k, maybe 1k third month, so basically the market collapsed and I moved on (to other fun exploits… once you’ve been bitten by the exploit bug…).

In retrospect I regret it.

I’m a total hypocrite saying this, but I think this sort of crap has ruined MMOs, and gotten far more advanced and efficient over the years.

The fun I had in AC before I started doing this stuff is something I wish more people could experience, but I suspect has been lost.

If the sample question is actually representative of the exam, I'm surprised that people that actually study for this fail that often. I haven't had any statistics education since high school, and found it fairly straightforward to solve.
While this is a good approach at a high level, it's also worth pointing out that the usage should not be based on trust.

You should evaluate if you're comfortable using this or that password manager even if they were aquired by the most evil company you can think of. If the design is solid, it shouldn't matter since the evil company shouldn't be able to compromise anything. If it does matter, then you shouldn't be using that software no matter how much you trust the company (because regardless of trust, they're still subject to secret court orders etc.)
It's very concerning how quickly people throw around medical terms like NPD or BPD. The blog seems anonymous so there is no indication of whether the person who wrote it is qualified to diagnose. My guess is no because there are many blanket statements and few qualifying statements. People without training are likely to read about a few characteristics and, well, you see what you look for.

As, today, the extension now contains 25Mb of JS, making it difficult to audit, I wouldn't say that it has to be someone else's fault until proven.

Selling digital goods for real money is pretty well tread. What does web3/crypto add here?

Game assets can't be used in another game. You need full support from the game developer. The devs could much more easily and cheaply sell the assets direct or support trading.

If the game is distributed or has private servers or something that might warrant defi trades, but wouldn't gamers just hack their own items? If they control the server code, surely it's possible.

Seems like a marketing gimmick at best. What am I missing?
I mean, I could pump up the restaurants and apartment buildings more if you like; I am unsure how modern well maintained infrastructure and mobility are not important factors in niceness though.

> We have a justice system based on reasonable interpretation by judges, which is a bit less "strict" literal interpretation of contracts.

We as in all of Western Europe or for a specific country? What are some examples you've seen where the US has "strict", literal interpretations of contracts that are unreasonable as it relates to employment/the topic at hand? Off the top of my head the only thing that comes to mind immediately is maybe non-competes but I think that's an issue of leverage and not really a contractual issue, and even so it's risky for companies to enforce except for key employees.

> As a start-up you'd hire contractors which you'd pay a much higher fee for, as these wouldn't have the labor protections of employees

Isn't this just sidestepping the protection? And without needing to do an exhaustive list what are the labor protections? I assume there are like a minimum number of paid days off/holidays/vacation, exact job you'll do (though this is still vague to me how it's handled practically) and some protections around being fired/how you are fired?

Is there a big protection for tech workers I'm missing?

> But then again my rent is cheaper, and my insurances are cheaper too, I get PTO and unlimited sick-days, stuff like that. At the end of the day, if I want to make more money and not have many protections (like in the US) I'd become a contractor. (which does come with some strings attached to prevent employers from hiring normal employees like contractors).

My "rent" (mortgage in this case) is pretty cheap and so is my insurance. I work remote for a great company, get PTO, and take it as you need it sick days and stuff like that too. Of course rental rates in certain markets (NY, SF, etc.) are much higher, as is compensation. $250k-$300k for many tech workers. I think that probably compensates for the higher costs though who knows what'll happen with the post-pandemic labor market (2024-2026 or so).
> is a consequence of the airline industry

So then yes you are assuming that anarchism can wave a magic wand and make it so airlines never lose people's bags, or that it won't ever create any extra work to track down those bags.
When I started building https://wildduck.email (a completely independent email server implementation) then my goal was to build sonething that is deeply integrated, there would be only a single way of doing things, no file based storage, and management would be done over a REST API. I don’t regret a single decision from back then, the non-unix way has proven to have a lot of upside.

PS. It’s not mentioned often but when you send out emails you need to send at least 100 emails per IP per large destination _every day_ (100 to Gmail, 100 to O365 etc). Otherwise you’re not even on the radar and can’t build any reputation. You need to have a constant mail flow going out for the big guys to take you even remotely seriously.
1Pass has the ability to sync via WiFi, Dropbox, iCloud, etc. I only use the WiFi as the other options are still cloud platforms I don't trust.
Yes, have decades of experience with them. They are better than US/EU, although I don’t like the thin pins (even with insulation) plus they still can feel a bit loose/wiggle unlike the chunky UK one. Especially the 2-pin plugs! AU/NZ power strips are nice, feel a lot safer compared to US and EU. Same with extension cables (UK does poorly there).

UK also has physical switches on outlets, at least the vast majority I’ve run into. US/EU is again quite poor in that regard imo.
It was a long time ago, but I don't remember the interview being confrontational, just thinking the tutors seemed a bit odd -- I'd led a sheltered life. (Most interviews and tutorials surely won't be conducted by professors.)
The British did not just one day decide to pack up and abandon their biggest milch cow.

All bureaucrats, police, military, even the first Prime minister Nehru was an imposition on the country. You are right about the bureaucracy, its culture is a continuation of a colonial legacy.

We need to rapidly decolonise, simplify our laws and constitution. Brain drain is not about people leaving the country, it is about people staying back do not get utilised properly, what can they aspire for?

At best an IAS, we need more industries, engineering, design, higher standards of education, fundamental research.
An “Ask HN” was just trending about this yesterday (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29705957). Sounds like a good reason not to trust any third party service with my password database to me.

I’ve always taken the route of managing my own local Keepass DB & key files. Sure it’s more cumbersome, but it prevents me from having to decide whether or not to trust some third party vendor or not.

I know 100% that I’m in full control and I’ve never put my DB or key file in the cloud. I can sleep sound knowing that whatever password service, or file sharing service, somehow getting compromised, cannot endanger one of my most valuable assets
once again, maybe security through obscurity is not the worst idea...

If it took a math professor over 3 years to do it, it sounds tough. What is the reward?

Is the answer to the question at the top 0.33?

let pc = purchased_collision, pd = purchased_disability

we have:

2 * P(pc) = P(pd)
P(pc & pd) = 0.15

so

P(pc) * P(pd) = 0.15
2 P(pc)^2 = 0.15 --> P(pc) = 0.274, P(pd) = 0.548

So the probability of neither pc nor pd is

!P(pc | pd) = 1 - P(pc) - P(pd) + P(pc & pd) = 0.328 ~= 0.33?

The addition of P(pc & pd) was to take account of the double counting of pc and pd.

Please let me know if I've made a mistake!

That example only works for fines. If the punishment is 1 year in prison, then you can't get someone else to volunteer for you, even if they wanted to. And it would be quite ridiculous if suicidal (or terminally ill) people could volunteer to die so that a murderer (that they perhaps like or admire, for whatever reason) convicted to death would be pardoned.

It's true that I don't believe it all of this, but let's assume for a moment that the following is true (quoting your previous post):

> Justice requires accountability for wrongs committed. When we break God's moral law, justice requires that we be held accountable.

To me another man suddenly showing up paying the penalty is completely contradicting and undermining this accountability.

When making the rules, a god could just say "I forbid these things, and there will be consequences for breaking the rules, but in the end I will forgive, because eternity is a long time and I'm so kind and loving". Instead, the Christian rules demand that somebody (who may or may not be the one who violated the rules) is hurt. So the Christian god orchestrated the killing of either himself or his son (or maybe a bit of both? So it's suicide and/or filicide. The holy trinity is confusing), because he kind of wants to forgive people, but the rules (that he himself made, and presumably could change, being all-powerful) demand that someone is hurt. Oh, and most interpretations hold this god to be omniscient, so in that case it's not like he didn't see this mess coming when he made the rules in the first place.

If you are completely in control of a situation and voluntarily set it up in such a way that in the future you have to hurt yourself (or have you children hurt themselves) to get things to work out, is it really self-sacrifice? Having Jesus die for our sins makes the Christian god seems like a heroic firefighter who is also the arsonist.
I disagree. Meta is a big tech company which is up there with Rio Tinto in "purely evil how the heck do they still exist" land. Tech people should be able to discuss how terrible they are. And one of the only possible ways to influence them from the outside is to shame those selling their morals for money.
