What upsets me is that this news totally overshadows the news that Activision literally just fired 30+ more people for sexual misconduct.

And now the metaverse is solidified as a new buzzword for venture capitalists to pour money into despite collaborative VR being a thing for almost a decade already. Won't be long until they combine it with NFTs and use an inefficient & expensive blockchain to handle the marketplace of avatars and the like.
Its a claim publicly made by the older Springer Verlag. They ran advertisements in the 60s titling "Springer ist nicht Springer".

>Springer isnt Springer. Every chessgame has two knights (Springer) which are easy to mix up. In publishing there are also two Springer, who dont share anything but the word Springer, but are often mixed up as a result.

>...
>Between the two publishers no family or economic ties exist.

edit: Obviously in the context of the Springer blockade by the student movement. The advertisement in question is from the Konkret issue number 6 of 1968 page 35
Bad translation obviously.
We really don't know.

Are bipedal mammals with nukes, an internet, and nascent machine learning and genetic engineering capabilities interesting?

Currently there's not enough info on how common this is, and it could go either way.

Blizzard had a very big and dedicated fan base, the launch of a Blizzard game used to be one of the biggest gaming events of a year, their IPs are (were) loved by huge numbers. Current management did squander most of that good will in the last few years (mainly optimizing their new games for addictiveness instead of designing for fun), but I don't think it is too late, if under new management Blizzard pulls a 180 and goes back to make good games with the old IPs, fans will come back in droves.
50% of the discretionary budget. Entitlements (Social Security, Medicare, etc.) are 65% of the budget. The full budget is about $6 trillion.
I entered just my apartment number in that field no "apt", etc. Worked fine. You can always go the insurance route and get 8 tests/months. Best of luck!
That's really awesome and responsible. I regularly have to pay 5-10€ for a single test at my local pharmacist's. No "family size" bundles either.
When I bought a new instrument a decade ago, I did some reading on the tax implications. I was ready to splurge on something nice. There was a fascinating case of a musician who bought a super expensive 200 year old instrument. He amortized the expense over some period like 7 years. Then he was invited to come on down to the tax court for a friendly chat.

Turns out, the tax court didn't smile on depreciating an appreciating asset that demonstrably lasts 200 years.

I actually considered buying an instrument in salvage condition and paying to have it restored, since restoration is an expense. But in the final analysis, I was more interested in playing than screwing around for a few dollars in tax savings.
At least for Xbox, the biggest positive change in leadership has been the replacement of Don Mattrick with Phil Spencer in 2014. Xbox as a brand was in real bad shape when he took over.
Very easy to get until recently. However, much of the public communication about testing focused on PCR test centers. It seems like demand for home antigen was driven by a combination of omicron and public awareness of these tests.
Have you started such a project yourself? Have you joined one that already exists, such as Nyxt?
I use both Google photos and iCloud
I've done web/software development on the side. I used to have an S-corp, but dealing with IRS filings was a pain, so I started using Gusto. But that cost a lot relative to my quantity of work. I've since closed my corp (what a hassle that was!) and am thinking of hanging up my hat completely because its just not worth the hassle of quarterly filings, annual tax surprises, paying the additional turbo tax fees.

I also run a local youth baseball/softball lessons. I push all received funds into a paypal account. I don't profit from it, I just pay for field reservations. All money in goes out. But now, I'll have to jump through hoops. Now I ask myself if its worth it training other people's kids for free.
They are sufficiently transparent to claim a "wage shortage", what number do you want that you can't get from bls.gov?
I mean, in the US for decades "are you a citizen" seems to have revolved around whether you can present a yellowed piece of paper that has absolutely zero security features: your social security card. Sometimes a birth certificate, which has only slightly more security features.
why do people need to test all the time these days? what's the point? I understand having a couple tests on hand, maybe even one or two for every person in the household, if you're really paranoid and you want to see if the symptoms someone has started having might be related to covid instead of just being a cold or whatever, and you want to do it at home instead of rushing to urgent care to check. but what's gained from testing with "frequency"—especially now that it sure seems like the bulk of the deadliness of the pandemic is pretty much done with at this point?
From what I could find Axel Springer failed on multiple fronts. For one the court found that the final page layout was the result of various highly automated and industrialized processes and failed to meet the standard for a unified creative work. The court also found that the changes to the pages rendering code did not modify its substance, with that the court distinguished it from a precedent about cheat software feeding false data back to a server.

Ask HN: Does anyone know of the whereabouts of the source code of FlexOS/386?
My goal is to get FlexOS open sourced. - Does anyone know of a copy of the source code? I contacted the designer and author of much of FlexOS and he does not know where the source code is.I think it would be fun to see if FlexOS/386 can be brought back to life.

FlexOS was a powerful and innovative operating system from Digital Research, the early 1990's.

Here is a Byte Magazine review of it from back then:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bootrino/vintage_software/master/1991_01_BYTE_FLEXOSS_MUSCLE.pdf

Here's the Wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FlexOS

Maybe someone at WindRiver knows where the source code of FlexOS is? The wikipedia article above says:

>>>>When Novell decided to abandon further development of the various Digital Research operating systems such as Multiuser DOS (a successor to Concurrent DOS) and Novell DOS (a successor to DR DOS), they sold FlexOS off to the Santa Clara, California-based Integrated Systems, Inc. (ISI) for US$3 million in July 1994.[22] The deal comprised a direct payment of half this sum as well as shares representing 2% of the company. The company already had pSOS+, another modular real-time multitasking operating system for embedded systems, but they continued to maintain FlexOS as well.[22] FlexOS version 2.33 was current as of May 1998 and with FlexOS 2.34 to be released soon after with added support for faster CPUs, 64 MB of memory, EIDE and ATAPI CDROM drives.

>>>>Integrated Systems was bought by their competitor Wind River Systems in February 2000.
The side hustle on etsy will likely have plenty of expenses that come off the income--but now you made the person do things like maintain inventory and the like. The compliance burden is a lot higher.

I'd like to see some modified rules for sufficiently small businesses--no inventory, no depreciation, you simply take expenses when they are incurred. This would especially apply to service type businesses where your expenses are consumables and tool replacement.

Historically tests have been used to help healthcare providers differentiate to prescribe targeted most effective therapeutics
According to early data, sure, but Omicron is still too new for any real studies to have been completed.

An at home test is better than nothing.
That's misleading, that's showing 50% of discretionary spending. Defense is not even 20% of total spending.

How do you store 750gb of photo and video?

We do look at them ever so often, and it’s great.

It’s also disturbing to see corruption in some of the first videos we took. I don’t know the source but some videos have weird artefacts now.
As long as you have each operation in the expected order, then SQL syntax might make sense. The problem comes when you need something outside this template, e.g. a projection after an aggregation. The straightforward syntax becomes unnecessary complex and hard to read if you just venture a bit outside of the default template.

SQL syntax is like if all arithmetic expressions had to be addition followed by subtraction followed by multiplication. And if you didn't need to add anything you would just have to add 0.
Yep, thats pretty much correct. With the addition of sending occasional “snapshots” so clients don't need to read the entire room history initially (more about this in the bottom of the readme).
The representation is semi-based on reality as some people with extremely good visual imaginations do use them as scratch space for equations in a way that looks kind of like the "numbers in the air" metaphor, except that the numbers are in their imaginations, not hallucinated in front of them.

It is not very common among scientists, but I am willing to bet that a lot of people who end up in the visual arts (i.e. who put these scenes in movies) experienced math in a way that matches the visual metaphor when they were in school.
In Australia, which seems to have put all its eggs in the vaccine basket, and squandered the last 2 years by doing almost zero prep for opening up, there are news reports about people who are confirmed covid cases are being asked to work in certain industries like meat processing.

My wife works in childcare and isolating waiting for a result (36 hours and counting for a PCR test-in some states tests aren’t being processed for 7 days and then are thrown out) has been told by her supervisor that Covid-positive staff may have to work. We have a pack of RATs and she was negative on one, but they are extremely scarce, so we’re not using a second.

Daycare and, soon, schools are going to allow covid to spread through with no mitigation attempts. The same lack of exposure to the world that allowed it to escape earlier waves has also led Australia to adopting extreme parodies of policies in place everywhere else: for example they opened up without any rapid testing and without improving PCR testing availability (you can’t get tested outside of weekday office hours). Lockdowns of any sort, school closures and remote learning have been a totally ruled out because that’s what the Australian state and federal governments imagine has happened in the rest of the world, despite the reality being more complex.
You have to pay tuition to attend MIT but that's not all you have to do to leave there with a degree.
the loophole is that we just send via "friends and family".
The curious part is why postgres can't estimate that the size of the active runs<>stacks join will be very small.

A core part of query planning is estimating the best join order using a dynamic programming algorithm. So roughly, A(1M) <> B(1M) <> C(10) should use the join order A-(B-C), not (A-B)-C.

I bet it's something like, postgres doesn't know the correlation between runs_other.worker_id and runs_other.stack_id. It seems like its seeing low number of runs_other.worker_id, then estimating the stacks are split evenly among those small number of runs in the millions.

(Why it wouldn't know stacks.id correlates to one stack each, idk. Is stacks.id not the primary key? Is there a foreign key from runs? Very curious.)

What happens if you follow this guide to hint Postgres as to which columns are statistically related? [0]

Hinting PG's estimating stats may be a more persistent solution. Another core part of query planning is query rewriting-if they add a rule to simplify COUNT(select...)>0 to normal joins (which are equivalent I think?) then your trick may stop working.

In other words, modern republicans.
And that's not a commercial transaction??
The answer is probably something along the lines that it's not a magic bullet but 1.) There's a lot of political pressure to do "something" and tests are one of those things and 2.) Whether useful or not testing is required either literally or people want it for the peace of mind (illusory or not) so lack of tests is a headache.
I don't know what the breakup cash might have amounted to, but the AT&T roaming agreement was for 7 years, and it's only recently with n41/n71 that T-Mobile has done any better.

The equivalent for this merger would be something like Minecraft and Bethesda games on the A-B launcher for 7 years. Huge giveaway by AT&T I think, as foolish as it might have been for them to think the merger would actually go through; having at-least 4 major carriers was policy at the time and still is (Dish's spectrum hoarding notwithstanding).
Yeah exactly. I want to be clear, I've got a tremendous amount of respect for Sophie Wilson; she's a much better engineer and more connected to how the industry is going. Her statements simply require a lot more caveats than they are normally given. It's more about the much the changing position of ARM and TSMC in the market place than anything else.

> At the same time, AFAIK Intel was doing quite well at 14nm finfet even then (likely better than any other foundry?), but that production capacity was not available to ARM, so I guess it didn't count.

Yeah, and Intel was right in the middle of their biggest misstep. Intel 10nm was in risk production for Cannon Lake with awful yields and therefore a huge $/transistor. It got shipped anyway as one SKU in May of 2018 that didn't make financial sense (there's rumors that management bonuses were tied to that release), before being relegated to process improvements for years until just recently.

It would have been fair for her to extrapolate a trend there that actually ended up being more complex in hindsight.
How can you tell that if you don't know the complexity of their projects?
If your roommate is tagging rent as a "goods or service", you're losing 3% to credit card fees on each of those transactions. I doubt many people are doing that. If you use the "friends and family" transaction, then there is no reporting or fee.
It was about the nintendotax, not the games.. Just like 'AppleTax' of 30%.
In the us we’re still a in 1950s Backwards mindset that a woman’s place is at home with the kids in the kitchen and our government services are based around that. At the same time it’s basically impossible to not be poor without two incomes.
Intel still fabricates their own chips. Though notably, their new dedicated GPUs are made by a third party.

Two years ago I would have expected this trend to continue and for Intel to stop in-house fabrication, but with their new CEO and some prodding from the US government, they are now investing many billions of dollars into new fabs.
In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter that much.

Once you starts parallelizing, CI time is: setup_time + (test_run_time / workers), so assuming money isn't a problem you can add more workers as you keep adding more tests.

What really matter is how fast you can setup your test workers and how slow individual tests are.
> Unless some entity is able to introduce measurable biases that deviates from predictable probabilistic distribution

This is always the problem with arguments for free will or at least the idea that one "could have done something different" that try to use physics/science.

It requires metaphysical action, literally something that cannot be understood with physics. The whole purpose of physics is to define the universe as deterministic. Quantum randomness is exactly that, random. If it was influenceable in some way, it wouldn't be random. Furthermore, the decision to influence it would still be deterministic so the metaphysics doesn't even make sense.

Quantum magic is just the bleeding edge of woo.
Yes, commercial games have been a race to the bottom for a long time.

In spaces where casual gaming dominates - exploitative games are top of the "charts".

I'm not an enthusiast gamer - I don't have time to search for indie games. What I see is primarily exploitative games, which turned me off gaming.

If you even read about gaming industry or new games - you're not the majority , that drives casual games to the top of the charts in primary app stores.
I know atleast one service that will cancel your service the minute you cancel, but yes canceling immediately would be the plan for services that don't have a suspend option like netflix. [1]

As far as keeping up with the channels catalog, I meant I would want to build a discovery/search interface with data from every service so I could seamless signup/resume when I want to watch something.

[1] njpwworld.com which is the streaming service for a japanese pro wrestling company, will cancel your subscription the moment you cancel, no matter how much time you have already paid for. So if you sign up and immediately cancel you would be charged for a month, but never get access to it.
Seems like the social and commerce aspects are drawing scrutiny. I think MS will escape unscathed here
In ML at least, the arXiv version is the “canonical” one. This is because the conferences have onerous page limits, so the official conference version is usually mangled with lots of cut content. The arXiv will have content restored and be more readable.

In theory you should read arXiv and cite the conference version, but often people cite arXiv and nobody cares because google scholar mostly combines things properly.
Right, the "Sender" in SPF is the Originating Entity (domain/domain owner), which defines a policy to explicitly bless a set of mailhosts allowed to send messages on behalf of users.

Posted article uses "Sender" for the user, not the entity. Authentication inside the entity is the entity's responsibility. SPF is only concerned with verifying that the mailhosts offering to deliver messages on behalf of entity are allowed to do so.
I tried it for a short time, but given the ubiquitousness of vi/vim, I just couldn't get myself to commit. I want to keep my muscle memory intact for when I have to ssh into a remote computer somewhere. Which, I guess what I'm saying is, it looks like I'll be attending mass this Sunday.
That is still democracy!

Complaining about individual pain points is helpful. No past present or future democracy is perfect. There is plenty that can be improved.

Complaining about democracy means you want to bring about totalitarism or theocracy or something else.
When companies are cheaping out on labor and competing with other companies doing the same it is artificially lowering prices at the expense of the workers. If they all had to pay them more then prices would at worst go up around the board.

Therefore any price that people are unwilling to pay will not be because the competition offers a lower price, but because they are unwilling to purchase the product at all at that price. If that happens and it causes some businesses to be unviable because no one will pay the price required, then maybe we don't need those businesses.

I was astonished. But it makes good sense. You don't want barriers, you want tests out to the people.
>> However, we do know from Quantum Mechanics that the universe is probabilistic and not deterministic

Do we? Quantum mechanics looks like there is genuine randomness, but one interpretation of experiments testing the Bell inequalities is non-locality. It could be completely deterministic, we just don't know what determines it.
Memento mori is not about creating spectacular moments that you will remember in your death bed. It's about being in the present moment and always doing your best as if it's the last thing you might be doing (knowing that your best changes day to day... see The Four Agreements from Don Miguel Ruiz, the fourth agreement).
Stoicism is not about creating a memory, it's about living in the present moment.
Just tried that, didn't work either. Thanks, though.
In Wake County, NC, rapid high-sensitivity PCR tests are available at about a half-dozen sites with results in 12 hours. Appts are have been available within 24-48 hours depending on demand.

You drive into a parking lot, they hand you a test, you self-swab and give it back to them.

There is other testing available - this is just the county-provided testing. It’s well run.
Question is, is TSMC spending more money than it can print. It's dumping 100s of billions in offshore capex that triggered after Sino-US tensions trying to move semi off island. Surprise capex that IMO it never had intention to expand considering it already announced record capex expenditures year prior. Subsidies only go so far. And semi demand will eventually normalize after covid19 disruptions, or do we expect TSMC to be insulated from the bust cycle

Flu, I believe, is most contagious when you’re feeling ill. That’s one huge difference between this pandemic and just your typical flu.

You can’t isolate if you don’t know you’re sick.
All of our information about those candidates, and the world, comes from media outlets who support the same type of people in the white house and local offices.

Those same companies own your media, too, but they probably care far less about who you vote for.
