The core value of code reviews is knowledge transfer and increased harmony across the codebase.

You certainly don't want to work in a codebase riddled with different ways of doing the same thing. Code reviews help with making the patterns more structured and more widely adopted. It also helps everyone at all skill levels to learn something from their peers, through reading their code and sharing thoughts.

It also makes more people in the team familiar with the codebase, such that more people are capable of changing and improving the related parts rather than just the original author.

The potential benefit of finding defects is only a nice to have!
"which pushes up their "levelized" costs further."

To me that means that the "levelized cost" metric punishes controllable energy sources unfairly for the "issues" that are caused by volatile energy sources right?
It's ironic how Intel is now the company that needs to try to punch up in marketing after putting a sales/marketing person in charge for several years and falling straight down the ladder to pretty much last place.

I am always within 1 minutes of a charger. My i9 MacBook still dies on me all the time. Get to 5% and go to the bathroom? Oops, it died, and I can’t join my next meeting on time.

There's already far better treatments now than existed at the start. Look for all the small things that add up, not one silver bullet.

Then there's vaccines which _are_ game changing.

There's also new drug(s) coming in already, Pfizer's pill for instance.

> buying in the capital city the same time as me rather than in a satellite city and missing out on gains

"You should have taken risk X rather than risk Y because X paid off" is not helpful advice.

Hindsight is 20/20, and different people have different safety buffers and values that will guide them to capital city vs satellite city.
Picking your nose is introducing pathogens from the part of your body that encounters the most germs, straight into the part of your body that has no barriers or stomach acid to repel them. I think if early humans had lived in large enough societies to have a lot of transmissible disease, we would have evolved an instinct against touching your eyes or nose by now.
I don't give a shit what the article says or specifically points to but I can tell you this much. I am a dad of a 6 year old. My kid goes to public school in NYC and last year was bad... They did a test at the beginning of this year before the start of the first grade and her results were awful. This is an unprecedented event and everyone is clueless including in education. I don't make a big deal about the test results and it's the reality. Educators are aware but it's not enough, we should be aware too. These kids are more resilient than most people think and we still need to support them. I am lucky I can get paid support for her but not all families have that privilege. So please stop being pedantic about the article and instead maybe focus on how you might create solutions. And please exclude online classes from those solutions. Thank you.
I’d say my son and most (but not all) of his classmates in elementary school did as good with virtual learning as they did with in person.

Of course, there’s the huge asterisk. This is all because most of those children had at least one parent who could and did actively take part in the virtual learning. Very lucky.

What it tells me though, is that the issue of virtual learning is not one of pedagogy or whatever, but simply one of money. It’s expensive to keep one person at home to teach kids on an ad-hoc basis.

We don’t want to really invest in education, so the other unavoidable choice is to “let er rip” through schools.

It’s surprising and distressing that a relatively uncompelling idea is threatening enough to ban.

Dr Malone’s post on the topic: https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/mass-formation-psychosis In my reading, there’s a dash of truth and a bowl of exaggeration.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain

"A blockchain is a growing list of records, called blocks, that are linked together using cryptography.[1][2][3][4] Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data (generally represented as a Merkle tree). [etc]"

Do you have a definition that git doesn't fit into (without getting too pedantic, e.g., git being a DAG of records rather than a list)?

I understand, but people get rich all the time holding stock like AAPL or TSLA. HN doesn't seem to have a problem with that. Some people see the future, do the research and risk it all on a stock or a cryptocurrency, some people take their last ten dollars blindly gamble on a lotto ticket or a cryptocurrency. How they earned the money they risk should be of no concern.
Ask HN: Building radar using directional WiFi antennas?
I’m wanting to build a radar targeting an angle of 15 degrees, and range of about 20 metres. This isn’t my area of expertise, but my logic is that directional wifi range is easily 20m with no obstacles. The detection space is empty by default, I’m just wanting to detect objects in this space. Any advice?

Apple has already won. Even if Intel catches up in efficiency, it doesn't matter. Even if they're 30% faster, it doesn't matter. Apple is in charge of their own destiny with Apple Silicon. That's invaluable.
You’re being downvoted but people who are at least a little familiar with Asia they’ll know how racist it is against people of color. Racisms in Asia is not only widespread but also out in the open, sometimes even against white people; Google “dame gaijin”

Probably different chemistry but made me think that you could also pin an insect, leave it for a hundred-plus years, and get some [slightly smaller crystals](https://www.researchgate.net/figure/A-carpenter-moth-Cossida...), a well known curatorial issue in entomology collections.
If Intel can come up with a laptop that's faster than the M1 at two thirds the price with the only downside being that you only get four hours of battery out of it with all cores clocked to their limit

I don't see how Intel can come up with a macbook air equivalent at a price of $350.
Rollup solutions like StarkNet and StarkEx on Ethereum will make apps gas-free.
I’m late to the party here, but I’ve been thinking about gas cans lately and they almost universally have poor design. The safety cans have caused me more spills than any other because they have so many moving parts and leaky seals to match, so they end up dripping outside of whatever I’m trying to fill up. Gasoline+Living things=no more living things.

The best that I’ve come across are the TuffJug racing style jugs and the No-Spill safety jugs. The vent on both is built into the pouring nozzle and won’t leak if tipped. Pretty sure the seals will break down on them given enough time, but I know that at least TuffJug sells replacement o-rings. I’ve partly crushed a No-Spill under the wheel of a big ass truck and it didn’t leak a drop. I still use it too.

The Eagle safety cans are nice, but they’ll rust eventually.
I also run into this.
I created a google account when traveling in the EU with no 2fa. The account was tied to an EU number I was using at the time (I believe google wasn't letting me register a new account without a mobile number). I for sure NEVER turned on 2fa on account.

When I came back to the US, I could not log into the account anymore. First of all, it would force me to receive a text or call with my EU number even though I never turned ON 2fa. Then, when trying to recover it further, I can answer all the questions correctly and then google says "Google couldn’t verify this account belongs to you."

By now, the EU number has probably already been recycled and the contents of the account are completely inaccessible to anyone (even though I _know_ all of the credentials/recovery details).

Having just read it, this sounds like a mental health issue to me. It's well outside the bounds of opinion, even a ridiculous or hateful opinion.

I worry that people are running to mock this guy because they want to portray these views as the kind of things their opponents actually think, while in reality there is clearly something wrong with him and he may need some compassion. This is not a fringe opinion, there is some problem that's causing him to behave like this.

At least some I am familiar with operate at the packet level and can hand off live "connections" to a peer or hot standby, along with full session state.

Remember that with TCP or anything else, the abstract session is an illusion.
Judging from the skeletons they left, our hunter-gatherer ancestors were healthy without need to pay much attention to diet beyond doing their best to get enough.

In particular, they had no difficulty getting enough fiber: there was plenty in everything. Our problem is that our whole food-industrial complex is devoted to stripping out and discarding the fiber we need.

If 40% of Americans didn't brush their teeth or bathe, we would have a hygiene problem of a magnitude commensurate with our health problem.
yeah we've heard miracle therapeutics for a year now, look at remdesivir, made more headlines than anything else and ended up doing nothing.

Sacrificing months of life for the unlikely possibility of a therapeutic from a disease that's unlikely to do lasting harm isn't something I would do and I certainly would never sacrifice anyone else's months of life or demand that they do in order to give me that "off-chance". We have vaccines, that's what we planned on having, they are here now. Time to stop pretending we've not spent the past year and change screwing over poor people and move on with life.

oh yeah, not to mention monoclonal antibodies are being denied by the federal government now, looks like even therapeutics might be dwindling in numbers.

sounds crazy right? Yeah, yeah it does.

Tipped employees are legally paid well below the federal minimum wage, as long as their tips make up the shortfall to average minimum wage over the pay period. In theory, if you don’t make minimum wage after tips, your employer is legally obligated to pay you the difference. However, wage and tip theft by employers is rampant, and not all employees which contribute to table service are tipped out by servers. I’ve heard of many employers blaming employees for not making enough in tips to meet the minimum wage, and hold it against them in terms of work performance.

It’s a really sad state of affairs. Tips aren’t the problem. Minimum wage not tracking productivity is a major issue. So is the minimum wage hierarchy where tipped employees are not paid a living wage to begin with, and tips are not going to solve wage or tip theft.

This man is seriously unwell. This wasn't just normal politics - This was deep conspiracy theory nonsense. The fact that he thought others would appreciate the message is further proof that he is in the midst of a serious crisis. He has completely lost touch with reality.

Unfortunately, being a wealthy ex-CEO and ex-pat living in another country, away from his former social circles, has likely removed all social support and peer group balance against his decline. When you're that wealthy, you can afford to surround yourself with people who won't challenge your ideas or suggest that maybe you're not well. The yes-men don't want to risk being ostracized by saying the wrong thing, so they go along with it.

I hope someone can talk him into getting the help he needs. That doesn't excuse what he said, obviously, but I doubt this issue will resolve on its own.

I haven't spent much time in/around DC in the scheme of things, but I would guesstimate from my experience there is some snow once or twice a year, and when it happens, everything shuts down. Businesses and government take a snow day just like the schools, as opposed to further north where a storm has to be extreme for that to happen.

That also was my experience in Richmond, VA, somewhat further south.

Intersectional Inequalities in Science
Hn title seems editorialized and wrong (unless the situation has changed?). Searching the phrase gives the disclaimer from tweet, BUT also results.
I'm strugling a bit with Skiff, I really want to like it but I don't understand what is actually private or decentralized about it.

---

Their site says:

> Everything on Skiff is end-to-end encrypted. Your most sensitive data is private, decentralized, and truly owned by you.

According to a previous blog post [1] they claim they're using a key pair for identification, which they seem to be creating and controlling, and I can't find any mention to back it up, or provide my own in their UI.

---

In their settings they also have a way to enable "decentralized storage through IPFS" but doesn't mention anything else and I don't understand what it does. It doesn't mention how files are stored, in which format, and how I can find their CIDs.

They go on to claim:

> Now, Skiff users can store files, static content, and more via the Interplanetary Filesystem (IPFS). Inside the settings page, users can enable or disable IPFS storage:
Skiff users will be able to store files, static content, and documents fully decentralized on IPFS.

> In this model, all user data - still completely end-to-end encrypted - is viewable and accessible on a transparent ledger, instead inside a big-tech-owned database where it may be analyzed for advertisements and invasive analytics.

Not sure if they are calling IPFS a ledger, what they mean by transparent, and mainly how this stops them from analyzing your documents for advertisements and invasive analytics.

---

Their whitepaper [2] is pretty much a product description and implementation overview. From a quick glance it talks about a centrally managed service that people need to talk to, doesn't describe any sort of federated/decentralized protocol or sync protocol, nor documents the CRDT events that make up the documents.

Their github org [3] doesn't seem to have any implementations or documentation of their protocol and how one could implement something that that talks with Skiff.

---

I really really want to like Skiff, and if they hadn't mentioned "Decentralized" and "trully owned by you" I probably would like them even for being a Google docs competitor.

What am I missing? If someone could please point me to any docs/code around how any of their keypairs/ipfs/crdt/e2ee stuff work I'd really appreciate it.

It's fairly standard anti-semitic bullshit that huge numbers of people believed, and have believed for decades. Most conspiracy theories are at their heart based on anti-semitic lies produces by the various christian church for hundreds of years. Even during WW2 there were Americans commenting on hitler being right about the jews. As a reminder: WW2 was in no way about the holocaust.

My wife was in a line at a UC behind two students who said "well jews do incest, and they used to eat babies" in actual seriousness.

It is super important to understand a lot of people seriously believe a lot of insanely screwed up things about jews.
It's already widely recognized that death toll figure is died 'with' COVID, not died 'from' COVID, which is okay as a number in itself. However direct comparison using such figure is disingenuous.

It's fundamentally identical. How do you think one hands off a TLS session? Or any other state?

It's only a problem if your state is tangled and impossible to serialize or bundle up to hand off.

UDP is perhaps the easiest because there's nothing to do in the basic case, for example with DNS.
You do realize that a non-trivial amount of politicians have publicly made similar claims about the Jews? It's not like this is some isolated incident.
It's qualified with unless you're genuinely isolated and there's no reasonably accessible shelter away from traffic.

i.e. If you're stuck on the shoulder of a snowy/icy highway and there's a walking distance Motel 6 visible, go straight to the hotel and make your phone calls there. A road is a terrible place to camp, your occupancy has zero influence on the probability of the vehicle getting hit, though it may feel like the right/responsible thing to do - to not abandon your vehicle, it's rarely the safe choice when the stop was unplanned.
How Designers Destroyed the World [video]
I thought it would be good to expand on the discussion on ethics in code & design brought up in the Peter Norton thread. Mike definitely has strong opinions on the matter, and strong opinions are always a good conversation starter. That said he illustrates quite well that "bad design gets people killed" is not an opinion but a fact.

Nah, it's fairly standard anti-semitism. It's not remotely outside the normal bounds.
All civilizations in decline because they can’t accommodate the basic human function of conveniently raising 2.1 new humans per couple. What’s the point of technology that doesn’t serve human needs?

Well he did say God said it. We're generally not allowed to question what God says.

To be honest, "God" has been saying all sorts of anti-semitic things for almost two thousand years. It's funny how the standards of sanity shift and sway over time. And we're talking Utah here.

Logically it doesn't make much sense, since Israel is one of the most vaxxed places. You'd think God had better control over scope, if the vaccine is the conspiracy by the Jews. You wouldn't see God turn the vaccine on them.
I didn’t address that point because it would seem extremely pedantic.

To an economist, “an econometrician” is almost always someone who spends their time developing new estimators and proving things about their properties.

The people who wrote the CBO report are very unlikely to have been econometricians according to nearly any economist. The CBO mostly hires applied people of various kinds, whether in micro or macro.

They are users of econometrics, as we all are, but to say they are “econometricians” as economists use that term would be wrong.

But that seemed like an extremely pedantic objection to the OPs point.
Along the same lines, pushing kids to eat everything on their plate can result in serious food/eating disorders, training them to ignore their 'full' feeling.
