It’s true whether or not acknowledging it makes you uncomfortable.

Ageism is real. Sexism is real. Racism is real. Homophobia has become less common but is still real and if you’re trans I can imagine it’s like what I heard from gay friends in the 90s. In all of those cases, I’ve heard many stories about people being asked to prove themselves in ways I’ve never been challenged, or low-balled on offers and getting serious pushback on negotiation. A common rule of thumb was that it takes one degree to cancel out each one of those things you are not, and while I’ve heard some fellow white guys question that I’ve never heard anyone else I know disagree.

> Want to reduce the power of problematic employers? Encourage your unproblematic employer to hire people like these.

A strange challenge with this approach is that large and often problematic employers are on something of a buying spree. So a smaller, less problematic employer may not exist very long.
>Yes, but at roughly half the rate.

That doesn't hold up when you look across the globe, which is my main point. A poor American is still in the global 1%.

What people lack is a sense of purpose in their lives, and meaningful connection to friends, family, and community. They desire stability and security.

These needs are not met by being one rung higher on a consumerist hamster wheel. Buying A new car, larger house, or next hedonistic escape from reality is not a durable solution.

Money might help on the margin, but something is rotten at a deeper social level. People also need to change how they live their lives, and focus their attention on things that will actually make them happy.

They would have sleek, performant products that work exactly as intended. And be out of business.

A few years later, folks on HN will be waxing nostalgic and wondering why we can't build things like that anymore.
For such small message sizes (416 bytes, AFAICT), it's plausible that refactor-induced compiler optimizations are responsible for much of the gains over SHA-1. Note that the old code invokes (assuming 104 32-bit pool words) sha1_transform 16 times, whereas the new code calls into the blake2s library twice--blake2s_update and then blake2s_final. That suggests the new code is likely spending much more time in tight, inlined loops as I doubt the hash library entry points are being inlined into that driver.

Most of the performance metrics people cite when discussing hash functions are for large messages. For small message sizes hash initialization and finalization costs tend to dominate, and costs one might otherwise ignore, such as function calls, can become noteworthy.

How does this mechanism work? I once had a doctor suggest that I may have developed a food allergy due to some kind of co-exposure event. Why doesn't this happen with vaccines, for example, that anything we are exposed to the same day we get a vaccine we are at risk of developing an allergy to?

To be fair, human memory also liberally edits.

And historical representations also undergo changes, like the colour fading on old pictures, paintings and statues. And that’s in addition to all of the issues in capturing accurate colours and other details in the first place. Add a bit of optical illusion to at least some imagery and the entire question of historical accuracy becomes very messy very fast.

A prime example is astro-photography, where most of the well known imagery isn’t and may never be seen like that by even future evolved human eyes.

Photos are limited representations, just like they’ve always been.

But it’s understandable, that different individuals would prefer differently prioritized representations. And maybe that’s the next generation of tools. Give more choice, more facial wrinkles or fewer. More lighting and colour enhancements or less. etc.

If linear interpolated zoom isn't allowed...

Think about analog/optical/chemical photography. In the old days did juries look at camera negatives with a loupe? Of course not, they looked at enlargements. What "algorithm" does an optical enlarger use?
Yeah, even your eyes don't reproduce reality perfectly but at that point it's just semantics. He means he wants to see his daughter the same way through the camera that he sees her through his eyes, in real life, otherwise known to him as "reality".

I don't think it's unreasonable to allow context of the statement to allow us to disregard "reality" as it pertains to quantum wave functions, in favor of something more human. There's a large difference in something that's goal is to capture what the eye sees and something that's goal isn't. It feels like Apple thinks they know what's better for us than we do, which I admit it's perfectly capable of doing in certain scenarios. But, when Apples thoughts do not align or go directly against our wishes it's uncomfortable, it feels like your "reality" is being ripped from your hands in favor of what some giant corporation thinks your reality should be, for any large number of opaque or intentionally obscured reasons.
I didn't see discussed here the main drivers you might want NPS vs. outcome- (and company) specific metrics:

1) it's harder to game and/or bullshit. This is a massive issue with surveying customers and then using their responses to feed back into internal performance goals & rewards.

2) because it has grown to be such a common customer experience metric, it's possible to benchmark against others, which isn't really possible with question types that are very specific to your business

I'll agree that NPS is overrated, mostly because the Net Promoter organization and survey companies have spent large amounts of time and money pushing it as The One True Metric for decades, but it still has its merits and its place.
Just wondering about the meaning of the satements from the article "Arrays are evil! Arrays are the Goto of the collections world". Anyone know exactly what it means? Is it referring to the raw array with pointers in C/C++ or array in C++ collections?
My "problem" with NPS is when essential services, which I have next to no choice over using, ask me if i would recommend them to others.

No, IRS, I would never recommend your service to friends or family. That's not really indicative of anything.

If you think about any of their suggestions for more than three seconds, it becomes clear they’re not feasible. For example:

> The idea behind this concept is for the “cabin” part of the vehicle to constantly suit your personal requirements. In the future, you’ll be able to ask for a certain interior and exterior combination via an app probably and as the car comes to where you’re at, you get to discover, not only the perfect cabin for you but also some with different designs and purposes.

This would instantly double the amount of trips necessary for any rideshares where you need (want) to customize the cabin (Current Location -> Closest Cabin Station -> Your location, as opposed to Current Location -> Your location). Since folks customizing the cabin likely won’t want to pay double the price, that additional cost will be distributed in part to every consumer. For such a price sensitive market, I don’t see this being even close to feasible. That said, maybe the article was satirical like another commenter mentioned, and this was a comment made in jest that went entirely over my head.

This redirection to an "original actor" is a bad faith argument toward finding if there is someone culpable. The poster I responded to, made a bad general assertion and I stand by it. GL with whatever.
"This shop doesn't sell everything I want" is hardly a scam.
But that in itself should not be "falling from grace", neither should be forming coalitions with the AfD - it would just be democracy. Of course it would be unforgivable in the eyes of some people, but that goes for many things. I personally find coalitions with socialists unforgivable, but the other parties in Germany have no issues with it, and no media outlets spin it into a scandal.

Mathematics.

Of course, mathematics will continue to develop in unimaginable directions, but the “base” notions in math will stay the same. I am talking here about notions of relation, function, group, vector space, tensor, category, measure, integral... Even if some of those are known for a long time, formal definitions that we use today are pretty new. And it seems to me that those will stay fundamental for a long time.

(Seems to me that other sciences (like physics and biology) don’t have that “stability”. In those fields, it wouldn't be too surprising if we discovered some fact that changes a lot we know about it)

Also, as these core notions of math will stay the same, math notation will stay the same also. And that is a good sign that we will continue to use TeX for a loooong time

> if we simply had real and effective product liability rules...

Isn't there a risk it software would become as ineffective as healthcare?

It seems to me that private enterprises aren't good at handling huge uncertainties (like liability). So businesses would aggressively minimize liabilities. Sure we would get better software, but we might get less competition, higher barriers to entry, more expensive products, and less capable products.

Suing companies for doing the wrong thing is an expensive mechanism. Gradually regulating supply-chain documentation is probably cheaper.

> By correlating rules with success or failure of the societies, we can begin to tease out what the best set of rules are

This is not how we decide what should be considered fundamental human rights. Plenty of rules work out fine (i.e. effectively maintain social order and persist for long stretches of time) for “society” while being disastrous for the disempowered living under them.

> best outcomes come from rules that guarantee a set of rights, best excemplified by the Declaration of Independence

This is entirely circular reasoning. You have pre-determined that outcomes similar to your personal experience should be considered “good”, and then are declaring your society to be best because it led to your experience as an outcome. But you have neither clearly articulated what you mean by “best outcomes”, nor considered the outcomes for the less fortunate in your society. The argument more or less boils down to “Life worked out for me personally, and if it didn’t work out for you in my society, tough luck. If it didn’t work out for you in a different society, well mine is better.”

For example, I might for the sake of argument point out that Cuba clearly provides dramatically better healthcare and education outcomes than America (an astounding accomplishment considering its limited resources), and therefore conclude that Cuban society must be better structured and do a better job guaranteeing basic rights than American society.
Does his increase in number of shares actually mean anything? I assume that, like most stock compensation, these shares are newly issued shares, diluting the value of existing shares. That would mean he still has a lower stake, regardless of number of shares, no?

I may be misunderstanding something.
Wait, it uses the same algorithm regardless of hardware??
this is factually correct and while we're getting off topic it brings up the problem of overloaded consumer debt in the USA in general.

I also saw a statistic that something like 45% of Americans couldn't immediately come up with $1000 for an emergency the same day. Just in case we need a benchmark measure of relative wealth and prosperity between the typical six figure FAANG employee and people working jobs that pay a great deal less.

My own understanding is that it’s supposed to be a prediction input organic growth and nothing more. All it’s really telling you is whether a customer is likely to provide you with another customer, which is why only really high values answers matter, because “hell yeahs” are all that really matter.

I’m skeptical as to its usefulness even for this, but most companies I’ve worked for use it as a general KPI which is even more aggravating.
I suspect the concept of NPS is, if not the source of, a major driver of the whole "anything less than 10/10, 5 stars, etc. is basically a fail" meme. There seem to be signifiant toxic effects from this on customer-facing employees, in my experience.
We love to invent "the way things used to be" as some kind of pristine ideal, but it was never real. I have a hard time listening to anyone that suggests these "better times" existed.

> It's important to note that recent iPhones contain the same M1 chip as last year's MacBooks. They are not limited by processing power.

Correct me if I'm wrong but there's still a huge issue with silicon processing capabilities/power when it comes to image sensors (which is why camera sensors buffer images between shots). I unfortunately don't remember the context but it said something that it was (very far) from possible to actually get all the sensor data into the processor and as a result you only take a small fraction of the actual incident light/photos practically.

It doesn't sound as if he was proposing to remove women's right to vote, according to this article (first hit in search): https://www.huffpost.com/entry/peter-thiel-women-democracy_n...

"It would be absurd to suggest that women’s votes will be taken away or that this would solve the political problems that vex us. While I don’t think any class of people should be disenfranchised, I have little hope that voting will make things better."

Nevertheless it should be possible to discuss the results of giving women the right to vote. The main difference from state of affairs before that presumably being that people got to vote on things they did not have direct stakes in.

Or to give a modern example: afaik more women are opposed to abortion than men, so giving women the right the vote makes it less likely that abortion is legalized. At least some people would consider that a negative outcome.

Only under the most carelessly superficial analysis.

Is there any limit to the vast, systemic negligence and enabled criminality which can be excused away into nothingness because the circumstances under which they were made public were problematic?

This isn't a criminal prosecution of the company who was irresponsible with user data. If the people who exposed the negligence screwed up, that doesn't mean we have to act as though that the negligence ever happened.

Demonizing the messenger while remaining silent about the message is a choice.
Let's simplify it, to explain what "not doable in practice means":

On a normal site, how many % of visitors do you think will/can pay with USDC on stellar?

The example purchase is a computer screen worth 250$, found on a new e-commerce shop ( = you didn't have any purchases yet there)

Note: Most people don't have crypto.

So some basis for estimates:

Let's say that 16 % of Americans have ever bought crypto. Let's be positive and say that halve of them are willing to use it for a purchase instead of considering it as an investment. So 8% - https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/11/11/16-of-ameri... .

Spread of the holdings are taken from an article:

> And it’s true that it is by far the most popular cryptocurrency with 66.7% of crypto investors owning Bitcoin. However, other crypto currencies are catching up with 28.6% of crypto investors holding the popular “memecoin” Dogecoin and 23.9% of investors holding Ethereum.

https://www.finder.com/how-many-people-own-cryptocurrency

A raw guess is fine ofc.

My guess: 0.001% of visitors. I'll explain why after your guess.

( It's possible that i missed something. I don't do these guesses often and I'm not exactly sure how many of those can pay with USDC on stellar even, but that shouldn't matter for the estimate)

As well I'd like to add the thought that the smart phone could be running all kinds of battery draining things in the background. So actual battery life depends not only mAh but how efficiently the device uses its capacity.
Yep. I used to work in lab automation. We found that using Cartesian systems and rethinking the processes could yield order of magnitude improvements. An Arm just replaces one operator.
A 4th shot is unlikely to produce substantially better immunity than a 3rd shot.

The realistic goal is also not to prevent transmission but to prevent severe disease and death, and a 4th shot won't help much with that at all.

Once everyone has T-cells the pandemic phase is over and it really does just become a cold or the flu and we're getting close. Estimates are that around >90% of the population is exposed or vaccinated. Once we get there then the reaction to the virus should look more like a cold or flu virus. We don't recommend anything for colds. For the flu we mandate it for health care workers and highly recommend it for vulnerable people and offer it to everyone. We're going to wind up there soon.

There's also going to be a narrower number of people who have been vaccinated and never caught the virus who think that the goal is zero covid, sooner or later nearly everyone catches it. Once they've been vaccinated and caught mild disease they're going to stop treating it as an existential threat. Once that happens their appetite for supporting mandates will disappear.

My guess is that Omicron is the last gasp of the pandemic phase of the virus. And I can't see mandates for 4+ shots being anything other than political suicide in the US outside of health care.
Fred tosses and turns, unable to sleep. Wilma sits up. “Fred, what’s the problem? Why are you tossing and turning?”

Fred comes clean: “I owe Barney $10,000 and I promised to pay it tomorrow. And I know he needs it, because he bought a new set of golf clubs to use at the company golf tournament this weekend on credit, and if he doesn’t pay, he’ll have to take the clubs back.”

Wilma picks up the phone. “Betty? Sorry to call you so late, but would you give Barney a message? Tell him that Fred doesn’t have the $10,000 he promised. Yes, that’s all. Good night!”

Fred stares at Wilma, aghast. “What did you do THAT for?”

Wilma smiles. “It’s Barney’s problem now. Let him toss and turn, we can go to sleep!”
