Are you sure that there aren't some (many) politicians who enjoy the feeling of importance they get from decreeing emergency laws because of Covid?

I think for many citizens it is the same, they finally have their "moments" of importance, just as previous generations had their wars.

Amazon and Apple lure you in but many shows it seems need to be rented or bought. How much disposable income do these companies think the average Joe has to spend? the answer seems to be $10 to $20 to rent or "buy" movies. Which you never own a physical copy of. They seem to be out of touch with reality.

Algorithmic Solution to My Insomnia - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15997016 - Dec 2017 (79 comments)
When I was in grad school at UT Austin we spent a lot of time studying in the map room. As I recall, the tables were quite large and gave us space to spread out books and printouts. We weren't doing anything map-related. It was just a good space.

I also spent a lot of time in the reading room of the Architecture and Planning Library, which was so beautiful it was sometimes hard to focus on what I was studying:

0. I would recommend you actually read about redo yourself. Redo is not just the implementation posted here (which personally I don't like for multiple reasons). Redo is a very simple idea envisioned by DJB a while ago which was never implemented by him properly. You can read more about it here: http://cr.yp.to/redo.html it won't take long.

1. Ninja is not meant to be hand written, redo can be hand written. Ninja verbosely describes your build as flat file containing the description of a DAG and the rules required to traverse it. Redo is a recursive definition, intended to be mostly hand written, which describes your build process. Redo can and should be split up across multiple files.

2. It may be customary to you, but not everyone agrees that the correct solution to building a project is to have a gigantic software suite consume a confusing and abstract configuration file and spit out a bunch of buggy makefiles. There are in fact plenty of people who hand write makefiles, redo fits in that same space. It's easier to hand write, it's easier to fully describe the DAG of your project, it's easier to reason about the build process and it's easier to make sure it is correct.

3. No. It would make no sense to have a redo generator for CMake as it would be severely missing the point of redo. The only reason CMake has generators for anything but ninja is because some people worry about portability to other systems and as such having make is better than nothing.
I would probably just use Slack and Slack-bots for a low-code approach to this. Are there major downsides? I don't believe you would need to pay for Slack to use primarily for up to a few dozen Slackbot messages per day.

A counterpoint (not necessarily my view but a view nonetheless) would be that if everyone pays into a single required insurance pool then the risk doesn't need to be accurately determined a priori. Each individual's rates might be the same, but they could be lower overall because there are more paying in. A low risk driver may pay more than they use, but it could be less than the market rate regardless.
From a kid's level of understanding you could also deduce that the carbon must end up in the plant matter, and that a forest's plant matter density doesn't increase forever. Old forests reach a carbon-neutral equilibrium (decaying plants release carbon). New forests suck up carbon until they reach that equilibrium.

Another idea you could deduce from this is that if we remove plant matter from the forest, and lock that carbon up so it doesn't go back into the atmosphere, it could become a long term carbon-sink. Even better if the plant matter can be useful. So vast lumber farms with the fastest growing trees you can get could be a good carbon capture technology.

Allowing RMT would ruin the economy because as a small guy I can generate $1050 in profit per month if you convert 500 Plex to cash at $20, although the black market rate is closer to $7. If I could generate real money then I would play more than 1 hour a day, I would probably quadruple my industrial operation and then everything is massively inflated in price locking out casual players from the gameplay they want, and the margins on a lot of items would decrease meaning you have to make up for it in volume, except a casual player isn't going to be running 30 accounts.

You've suddenly become weirdly hostile and defensive. No shit, you were there? Yeah, so was I. So were a lot of people here. You're not the wizened greybeard telling the wet behind the ears noob how it was back in the day, so kindly remove that chip from your shoulder. This will be my last reply to you in this thread.

I'm not "rewriting history," and I never claimed "Web 0" was a term anyone actually used at any point in time. I was simply disagreeing with your definition of Web 0 upthread, which was itself disagreeing with OP's definition. I've never seen "web 0" used outside of this specific post either. But, like yourself, I was simply stating what I thought a more accurate taxonomy using that term would be. It was speculation. A thought-exercise.

Besides, as one of the great old-timers of the web you should prefer zero-indexing anyway.

Good day.
> The appropriate course is to sue the other driver directly and ignore the insurance company.

Yes, that's how you formally sue in an accident. It's not the hack you think it is, though, the insurance company defends the lawsuit, that's part of the insurance agreement.

It's also specifically what OP was unwilling to do which resulted in the insurance company not paying, and why any “the judge should...” is missing the point. If there was even the slightest expectation there would be a judge, the insurance company would have likely paid without batting an eye.
I wouldn't call it confusing, but I've stuck with not changing the defaults. Thinking is:

- if it's someone else's machine, it's rude to change the settings

- if it's a public machine, it may also be impossible to change the settings.

- regardless, it's easier to just move it than to mess with the settings as well.
Thank you for the recommendation. Been reading this for the past couple hours, and likely won't put it down till I'm through.
This reliance on delivery is baffling to me. I've tried and had them half the time give me incorrect replacements and as a foodie I just can't abide it. Quality of the produce is also hit or miss. I also just stare at the screen and waste time not able to decide but in person I can be in and out fairly quickly. I guess I'm not affluent enough (I just bought a house for 935k).

BTW how are you planning to live in Tokyo? Also my dream.
That's likely not because of government inefficiencies, but because a small segment of the population is responsible for the vast majority of costs. Mostly drunk drivers, to be frank - but also that certain lovely category of individual who feels that societal rules don't apply to them.

Private insurers can say "fuck no, we're not insuring you, you've got 2 DUIs, 6 speeding tickets, and numerous equipment violations" or make the cost of that insurance absurdly expensive, pricing them out.

If the government is providing the insurance, they likely have to say "yes" to everyone. Waiving the requirement to insure everyone is well and good until someone looks at the data and sees that your completely non-discriminatory rules are effectively discriminating against certain classes of people.
1Password's cloud offering architecture has a few important distinctions from other offerings. Namely the use of a password authenticated key exchange (PAKE) and a "Secret Key" that is never transmitted to 1Password servers.

The idiot of your whole thread is that while you're talking about how "insurance is a scam".

France has low retail electricity rates because the government massively subsidized nuclear power. That doesn’t mean cheap electricity, that means hiding the costs for electricity.

Also, it doesn’t use 70% nuclear power, it currently exports ~20% of the nuclear power it generates and imports almost exclusively non nuclear energy. Net result it’s customers actually use about 55-60% nuclear power meanwhile average nationwide nuclear capacity factors actually fell below 60% and only recently reached 70% when they started to phase it out.
Some random thoughts

- bullshit jobs is a term for jobs that have not yet been automated. Jeff Bezos pays a Uber driver to turn a steering wheel until the robot can, and he pays a Amazon Project Manager
to make graphs until the Perl Script can.

- such jobs don't exist because the "elite" are scared of proletariat, they exist because organisations are badly designed hurriedly put together and really hard to dismantle.

- it's usually simple to spot the people at work who are solid contributors and those who bullshit. But it's amazingly hard to demonstrate it sufficiently for firing people.

- But imposter syndrome means that if there is not a open transparent process to code the under performers, everyone becomes afraid, destroying the organisation anyway.

- it's hard to fire unproductive people, in short. In fact it's probably easier to build a new company and not hire them.

- this is usually done via Schumpeter- but if a company could be programmed, designed to have fewer people, it can be shutdown more easily and replaced?
Not really. The southern midwest and northern midwest are pretty distinct, and the bootheel of Missouri has more in common with Oklahoma than with Iowa.

Lots of Missourians don't make it north of of the Mason-Dixon very often. I'd definitely expect more KC folks to make it to Colorado than to Minnesota. Etc.

Not sure why you'd prime facie expect Missourians to have a better mental model of the upper midwest than Californians. If you don't go to a place, you don't go to a place. Doesn't matter if it's around the world or six hours north.
I would call it a consequence of the two-party system. San Francisco's commitment to subsidizing their own criminal underclass can only really exist in the context of the dispute between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party over how an underclass should be dealt with. The Democrats control California for other reasons, and their control is so solid that they're free to implement their worst ideas.

I've been to schools in Russia, and I have never heard of some of the problems I read about in schools in US. I do not understand how you can have those issues with 10X the GDP. It sounds like a caste system, children being set up from the start of their life

Culture matters, sure, but if you are freesing in class, that's definately distracting.
> Personally my impression is this narrative has gotten worse not better of the last few decades as the political divide between "red states" and "blue states" have deepen, even if you live in a midwest "blue state".

Honestly it goes beyond state lines. A liberal in Texas is a radically different liberal than one that's enjoyed coastal luxuries. Now living on the coast I feel it because it's almost as if some coastal liberals go out of their way to be exclusionary to life I've lived or the experiences I've had.
I'm about a quarter of the way in, and this seems a pretty transparent "this is the contrived problem where engineers are basically idiots, and assuming that's always true, here's our solution." Most engineers I know are not idiots, and discussions would stay well away from personal attacks. Additionally, while they generally can identify wider issues, they also need to solve the current issue as a "strategic" solution is much more likely to become a talking shop or a "strategic"-level solution involving the spending of lots of budget, the purchase of something useless and then blaming the engineers when it doesn't work.
p.p.s. I want to be very clear that there's nothing magic in my mind about being a "senior" engineer. You don't have to be a senior engineer to make more money in this industry: You can be a serial intermediate!

Consider someone who works as a team lead at a startup for two years, it goes IPO, they cash out. Do they stay, learn about working in a bigger company and become the kind of person I'm describing above?

Yes, if that interests them. But that isn't the only road. They could also go join another startup. Lather, rinse, repeat. With luck and skill, they could keep honing their skills as a leader of teams in a fast-paced early-stage environment, without ever becoming the kind of person a 500-person engineering group is trying to hire as a Principal Engineer.

Nothing wrong with that, it's the engineering equivalent of a serial entrepreneur. Some founders want to run their company for their entire career, like Ken Olsen, Bill Gates, or Jeff Bezos. Others are happy to sell out and start all over again.

Do what makes you happy. I'm just explaining what one company is looking for at a senior level.

Problem is, there's no way to have a price tag on it and have all else be the same. The reduction in users this would bring would impact many of the reasons I like Arch, not to mention the perverse incentives it creates for the maintainers.

Trees do that, but what happens when they die? Planting trees to fix CO2 emissions is like fixing the leak in your roof by putting more buckets below. Sure, it helps a bit, but it only buffers the water - you still need to dump it. Similarly, we need to get carbon out of the cycle.

For reference, some googled numbers:

- The amazon rainforest holds about 123 billion tons of carbon in total.

- For the past decade, we've emitted about 35 billion tons of CO2 (around 10 billion tons of carbon) annually.

You'd need to plant a whole new amazon forest every 10-20 years to balance out our emissions. And that's assuming our emissions don't keep growing exponentially like they've done in the past - otherwise you'll run out of land to plant forests on in a couple of decades.

Erlang/Elixir: The language, the ecosystem, the packaging/distribution, everything is so well thought and carefully designed.

Typescript: The type system is very expressive, and easy to read unlike more powerful ones like Haskell.

Shell (bash): Yes, no other language comes close to compose programs together and manipulate/redirect text to/from files/other programs. I wish for another language to give me the opportunity to write something like:

export BAR="foo-$(wget https://some-api.example.com | jq -r .some-field)"
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: example
data:
foo: $BAR

>The article (about how hard actuarial math is) and the insurance buyers make the mistake of thinking that all that matters is downside in case of event X with particular probability P. However, instead you have to think about chances of X AND chances of being able to navigate a system that is outright adversarial to parties that are not the insurance companies.

Are people going through and calculating the expected utility of purchasing insurance, and that calculation is being thrown off by counterparty risk, leading them to buy insurance they wouldn't have bought? I doubt it.

>The “house” always wins…

is there an expectation otherwise? You buy insurance to protect against risks, not because you think it's a positive expected value investment.

> In reality, most engineers aren't bouncing around from company to company every year trying to squeeze every last dollar out of their compensation. The strategy works well for a few iterations in early careers, but eventually it starts becoming counter-productive.

This is a good point. Most people singing the praises of job hopping are early (<10 years) into their careers. That's when you get the big jumps in comp when you hop. My first job hop netted me +50%. The next one, about +20%. The next one, maybe 5%? I don't know, it wasn't remarkable. Now that I'm 20 years into my career, changing jobs doesn't really increase comp at all (last change was probably negative when you considered the difference in equity). You hit the comp plateau, after which, changing jobs really doesn't get you anywhere unless you can get a higher "level" (senior eng -> staff eng or manager, staff eng -> principle eng, principle eng -> executive) which is not always easy.

The youngsters among us will eventually understand, after you've reached that plateau and your next job is going to be +1% at best, all the work it takes to reskill, grind leetcode, interview prep, interview, negotiate, move your family, change your mailing address, etc. kind of stops being worth it.

The red/blue urn question in the article isn't super duper hard right? It's at a level where it's a very hard question (but still doable) for a 16 year old high schooler I think?

b = number of blue balls in second urn.

P(both same color) = P(both blue) + P(both red) = P(first urn red) * P(second urn red) + P(first urn blue) * P(second urn blue)

0.44 = 4/10 * 16/(16+b) + 6/10 * b/(16+b)

Multiply both sides by 10(16+b) and simplify:

b = 4
That's true for a lot of players but the problem is that like any real-life skill, many players will hit a low ceiling of mastery in certain skills for whatever reason. Regardless of whether they're unwilling or unable, these low-skill players will not feel rewarded by the game. That's a problem if you're targeting a broad audience of players (which tends to be the most profitable strategy).
