And the distance from a vertex of the unit cube to the center is sqrt(D)/2, which also becomes arbitrarily large.

No disagreement here, but to answer your question: If someone is struggling with social anxiety, they actually have to somehow overcome their anxiety enough to seek that help. It can be a real catch-22. (Not a justification for this person's actions by any means. Just explaining motivation.)

The problem with the GP comment is that it was a shallow dismissal combined with indignant rhetoric. Those are reliably bad comments, and they tend to evoke worse from others, hence the term flamebait.

Of course you don't always have to be positive. Thoughtful critique is welcome, but it should be substantive and add real information, not just rhetoric. As the site guidelines say, a good critical comment teaches us something.

Bitcoin (and friends) is essentially a pyramid (edit: ponzai) scheme, where late entrants pay the 'returns' on early entrants - but with a technology layer that precisely and and publicly records each payin/payout.

In a way it is beautiful - the fraud is so transparent, and so technologically guaranteed to be transparent, that it becomes legitimised.

Almost as if robbing a bank would be ok if you made an appointment beforehand.
> the (solid) angle at each vertex; it starts constant (1/2 pi radian in 2D, 1/2 pi steradian in 3D)

Unstudied curiosity: steradians seem to be defined in terms of the point of a cone. But the corner of a cube is the intersection of several (for a cube, 3) planes, not a cone. How do you do the calculation of steradians?

It does work. Or at least it works at startup I work at.
Of course not, what an absurd interpretation..
> The value of working for a dysfunctional organization, the place where people build the most skills, is in getting hands-on experience fixing problems. Even if you don’t in fact fix them… and you won’t have enough control to fix everything. Even in situations where you have the authority to execute, you can’t control the ripple effects of your changes. Maybe you’ll accomplish something, maybe you won’t.

I'd definitely agree that you'll build the most skills at a dysfunctional place. The type of skills you learn are typically the opposite of what makes an established organization work though. There's a common saying of "work the people, then the problem". The challenge here is that when majority of your work is to improve the culture, the actual skills you were hired for start to slowly take the back seat.

I don't agree that being selfish is going to help you at all. In fact, being selfish is the exact reason why most organizations are dysfunctional. Here's one that comes off the top of my head. Say you're a line engineering manager and you're incentivized to deliver a large feature that year by your manager who is largely clueless of what your group is doing. But, the whole team realizes that the feature you're incentivized to deliver is not in the best interests of the team right now. What do you do with your role power? Most people will selfishly get that feature implemented to get their max bonus & rewards that year. That type of behavior breeds more dysfunction.

Here's a whole list of dysfunction: output over outcomes, obsession with internal metrics, lack of customer research, optimizing everything for little gain, shipping features like an assembly line, over-dependence on data/spreadsheets, fast paced twist and turns of work, over-engineering, trying to keep everyone happy, flip-flop decision making from people with role power.
What? Influence, what a nonsense.

Even BASIC uses it, and it was everywhere during the 15 years that preceded Java.

I have noticed that there has been a kind of resurgence in older digital cameras that used ccd sensors and different sensor filters compared to contemporary models. A lot of people feel like new cameras now are almost clinical in how they take pictures and because of that they lack personality that older, quirkier cameras had, a similar argument to why some vintage glass is desirable despite being technically inferior to what you can get now.
Yeah, pretty much most cards you get now are MasterCard I assume due to Visa fees.
Exactly, I came to say the same thing. You could pay for UBI with some MMT trick, but you‘d just end up inflating/rescaling all the prices. It would only work as a massive wealth redistribution program where the rich and middle class get heavily taxed. The latter is infinitely more difficult to implement than the former, but technically both would be UBI.

Phone cameras are really good in daylight and getting better in low light, but there's one thing they'll never have and that's a decent flash. It doesn't matter whether Xenon flashtube or LED, to get real flash you need a real flash capacitor, and that's just not a priority in a slim smartphone.

Bonus if your old-school digicam also has a front element over half an inch in diameter and zooms to 10x. That still gives a satisfying "real camera" feel. I have a Panasonic ZS3 that I still use quite a bit for vacation snaps, and one of these days I hope to (inexpensively) snap up a Canon G series.
Risk correlates with reward, sure. On a very general basis. But there are a ton of specific exceptions to that.

There's plenty of reason to think that opportunities to "get really rich" offered to unsophisticated people without a lot of money will be a big exception.

Just think of it from a startup's point of view. Would you want to take a lot of small checks from people who don't know what they're doing and for whom it's a major portion of their assets? I wouldn't, because it's always a bad idea for people to gamble what they can't afford to lose. I'd feel bad taking their money for something I know has a small chance of success. And just as a practical matter it's low return on effort.

The people who are most eager to take money like that? Idiots, goofs, and fraudsters who cannot get money from serious investors who know better.

In any case, the accredited-investor system already has certification-based exceptions: https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/general-reso...
That is a good question. Since whiteboards are intended to be ephemeral, the need for a constant data link isn’t compelling (ex: like the notebooks that automatically transcribe to a cloud service). Something I haven’t done yet is fully utilized the magnetic aspect of my whiteboard by having precanned magnets for db design, mocks or data flow. That may be a next evolution for my use, but even that probably won’t get used as much as I’d expect as I’m not at the whiteboard every day, but more like a few times a week.

If there was a way to make intangible tangible on the whiteboard, that may be interesting. Like a way to have magnets that are linked to a digital object so as you moved around and marked up, it could be reflected digitally too…that being said, it is more of a novelty and not sure it would be compelling enough for a paid feature.

I’ll think about this the next time I use my whiteboard.

Unless you're willing to test blindly on humans that's not going to change. Our understanding of animal physiology is not purely selfish either, veterinary medicine doesn't exist without animal testing. Besides that, the IRB handles research approval in the US and has very stringent requirements for animal research that increase exponentially depending on the model organism. Saying that they're being tortured carries some heavy implications—rodents only live a year or two to begin with and regulations exist for things like housing them in pairs. If I do research for a few months and then need to harvest brain slices I'm not exactly cutting down the rat in its prime + relative to the NYC rats fighting over a slice of pizza it lived a much nicer life.

I'm vegetarian personally and think we should reduce unnecessary suffering, however the 1% of animal deaths in our society going to the furtherment of knowledge seems like the wrong focus to have. You mentioned you're vegan; if you can't get your peers to stop eating animals (which is totally unnecessary, unhealthy, bad for the planet) I'm not sure how you realistically expect them to line up in place of Remy the rodent for research purposes. Even then, there's a limit to what you can do non-invasively with where our medical knowledge is currently.

My hope is that we refine what the research priorities are in our society + eliminate things like cosmetic testing, but ultimately I don't see an end to medical model organisms unless we can simulate them—and that's hard to do without further medical experimentation.
There's others that have posted the % overhead for various programs in this thread.

There is so much nonsense repeated here that for me to look up everything, which I have done in the past, would not be worth the time. Take a moment to pick one thing I claimed, check it carefully.

> None of these are simple factual matters

How much is spent by any welfare program is a simple fact. The budget spent to administer that is a simple fact. Thus the overhead is a simple fact.

And I have never looked into one and found this massive overhead UBI people claim.

Edit: from the first term I searched for

https://www.cbpp.org/research/romneys-charge-that-most-feder...

And even with throwing all that small overhead into UBI for free, and assuming UBI has zero overhead.... The number are still not going to work, or, as I started with, will screw those already needing assistance.
> memory-safety can be achieved in other ways

I mean, as far as achieving it at compile time, I would say it remains to be seen whether Zig's approach is one of these ways. There are certainly other known approaches, like the way ATS models pointers as proof objects, but these are also fairly abstract.

> Zig is C, it's not meant to abstract away memory management.

This is just hiding the ball though. Why don't we want abstractions on memory management? There is no runtime cost to providing the abstraction that Rust does. As such, "machine-oriented" is an ambiguous description of the difference here. The whole lesson of Rust is that there's nothing fundamental about the abstractions the machine itself provides, and we can create better abstractions without losing our orientation to those concerns.
Equities are expensive against future earning potential. Simple as that. I agree though, there aren't a lot of alternatives at the moment.

But you need either growth or dividends to earn on stock. Growth might become a lot harder in a rising interest rate environment and dividends are not a great return with current market levels.

To make it crystal clear, this is part of the comment that started this thread:

> But being scared of the air is certainly not something Jesus would have been.

In other words, a 76 year old man, 1 year away from retirement, the period of life one gets to reap the fruits of their labour, for whom Covid is not a mild cold, but most probably a matter of life and death, should grow some balls and behave like the omnipotent God.

It is crass.

Yet it is in accordance with Christian belief. Only a life of faith and penance after being baptized grants you a chance at salvation in the afterlife. One should face potential disease with courage, because one has faith in God. If it God's will, to die a quick death so be it. If it is God's will to survive unharmed for a few more years, so be it. If it is God's will to die a slow agonizing death, so be it.

I hope you can see how this line of thought can be nauseatingly repulsive to some people.

With respect, I hate, loathe, and despise the auto-play part of the Netflix UI. I hate that more than anything else I could possibly love about Netflix. Far too fucking distracting while you’re trying to focus on something else that you might actually want to watch.

And yes, I’ve gone into the settings to turn that feature off, and it doesn’t entirely work. It does reduce the auto-play somewhat, but not entirely.

I’ll fucking delete my Netflix account and the Netflix app from our AppleTV device, if that shit gets any worse.

That's pretty much Reddit, the group-think capital of the internet.

If everybody has the ability to downvote, then a big chunk of interesting comments never see the light of day, and a lot of interesting users leave, deciding they're not wanted.

I've disengaged from lots of subreddits because any comment that doesn't vociferously echo one of a half-dozen talking points immediately gets downvoted by teenagers who joined yesterday. It's a discouraging way to build an active/friendly community.

I think it depends on what problem spaces you're in regularly. Some people on the Reddit found it much easier than previous years, others found it much harder.

It was often around the difficulty of the exponential problems, but most were okay if you're very familiar with grid data, hierarchy traversal and caching.

I don't know enough about C++ templates here, but you cannot in Rust.

I don't know enough about the implementations to actually say, to be honest. Most of them aren't systems languages, and so have significantly less constraints on implementations, and less monomorphization. I imagine that helps.

Best of luck with MdSilo! :)

I would like to see more about work-fare, where people are given jobs if they are unemployed. I think it is very important people have work to do, and not all people are as self motivated as the hacker news crowd. Secondly, this would hopefully help productivity.

Previously job programs were giant public works projects, like building the Hoover dam. Today, with computers it would be easy to give any person a job, right out of their own house.

I do like allowing self motivated people to create their own jobs, and that should be factored into this kind of program.

I'm sure there are, but that likely-true fact doesn't shed any light on anything. For instance, Trumpers say similar things, simply because they're hostile to anything that portrays Trump in a negative light. They attack the media in order to hide the truth.

Given how attacks against relatively unbiased media are now part of the standard propaganda playbook, I don't put much stock in them unless they're very convincing. "People say" doesn't pass that threshold.
