Mato's brilliant. If you haven't seen his Legends of Localization website, where he discusses various issues related to translation, and even does simultaneous playthroughs of games with different translations (including machine translation!) and compares and contrasts them with the original...you're in for a treat.

One time when I was still a sophomore a friendly professor shared a story how one of his colleagues had a math paper accepted, and found an error in the proof only after it was published. So he had another paper in that journal next, with the refutation of his earlier work. And that feat was worth double the point score awarded to the institute by the scientific powers that be.

I'm sure the excuse is that errors in math papers these days don't have the same kind of impact as mistakes in, let's say, medicine.

Later on my guess was that this will change when we will have a editor software that is easy to use, wysiwyg, renders math texts as well as latex, and actually the edited document is integrated with the formal proof, beneath the fancy elegant phrases and formulas.

Then I quit a job and enrolled for phd studies but that's another story.
This is exactly what happens. What's worse, I thought it was doing that because I had responded to some political post, but FB just sees "you engaged with person-X, I will now alert you when person-X posts, and when people respond to his posts, even if you haven't looked at it"

This led to increasingly divisive messages literally showing up in my notifications that I had nothing to do with. This still happens months after I stopped responding to any of those messages.

Darknet Diaries tells its stories through interviews with people who were there and the podcaster's own experiences and research. I am not sure I would call the account 'factual', but he makes his best effort to get as close to the source as possible. More like investigative journalism.

In any case, not sure I agree with the attitude regarding reading a transcript. Does everyone expect the "facts" (whatever those actually are) to be handed to them on a silver platter or something? No juice no squeeze...

many, many people making good-faith, rational decisions which in hindsight proved foolish.

Rational, yes, but rational only in the sense of "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay liquid".

My experience is many MBS and finance people, during 2003-2008, knew that a ton of debt was garbage, that LTCM's blowup in 1998 showed massive structural weakness that was never repaired, and that a crash was going to come SOMETIME.

But the problem is that the rational decision in such a market is to keep investing and making money on the irrational rise, because no one knows when the crash will come or how bad it will be. It's actually rational to keep buying trash debt when the crash timing is unpredictable.

In the end, the finance people were actually correct to keep buying –– the gov't (that is, me you and every US taxpayer) bailed them out, and most of the traders did come out ahead after a bit of time.

The problem is that there is social media. Facebook is the biggest success, which is why people focus on it. Facebook displaces other forms of communication I prefer to use. I used to use email heavily to communicate with friends. Email was the best format for me, now no one uses it. Everyone is on 12 messaging platforms, Facebook started that trend with messenger.

I used to be able to go to business websites and get the information I needed, now everyone primarily uses Facebook pages to post information, which means I have to log in on many occasions to view the content. The Internet before Facebook was much more convenient for me.

Facebook hasn’t resulted in any positive interactions for me. Something about the platform drives people to be confrontational. Years ago when I participated on the platform I would reply to friend’s posts. Sometimes I would get replies from their friends and they tried to argue with me. It boiled down to them believing I said something in my post that I did not write. That drove me to not write my thoughts about something, and when I did reply, it was with shallow positive comments. That is a very boring way to interact with people, so I stopped using the platform.

Ukraine tensions: Russia condemns 'destructive' US troops boost in Europe
Russia has condemned a US decision to send extra troops to Europe to support its Nato allies amid continuing fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Moscow said it was a "destructive" step which heightened tension and reduced the scope for a political solution.

The Pentagon said 2,000 US troops would be sent from North Carolina to Poland and Germany, and a further 1,000 already in Germany would go to Romania.

Russia has some 100,000 troops near Ukraine. It denies planning to invade.

The tensions come eight years after Russia annexed Ukraine's southern Crimea peninsula and backed a bloody rebellion in the eastern Donbas region.

Moscow accuses the Ukrainian government of failing to implement the Minsk agreement - an international deal to restore peace to the east, where Russian-backed rebels control swathes of territory and at least 14,000 people have been killed since 2014.
The illegal Brazilian gold you may be wearing
A special task force in Brazil is conducting raids deep in the Amazon, in a new crack-down against what they call ‘blood gold’ mining.

Mining in territories that are supposed to be protected by law is destroying the lives of indigenous people, and wreaking havoc on the environment.

The UK is the third biggest buyer of Brazilian gold, and public prosecutors have alleged that 30% of Brazil’s exports may be illegally mined.

The BBC was given exclusive access to film a rare special forces operation. The identities of some of the operatives have been protected.

>What I think you may be missing is the unspoken underlying reality that with smaller government invariably comes more "efficient" government because you have removed the inefficiencies that are inherent to any unbounded system.

If that were true then we wouldn't see multiple examples of that model failing so many countries worldwide (half the countries in the third world have 'small governments') or even look at the Red states. They follow this principle to the tee yet the overwhelming majority of them have worse outcomes, worse services, and overall worse governance than the big government states.

>It is a challenge of human nature to restrain excessive and extremely inefficient behaviors when there are excesses of resources available to be squandered.

I lived in France for a few months and while I definitely saw signs of the bureaucracy, I don't think this in of itself prevents effective governance. At the same time I saw this, I also saw a robust social safety net(in the form of friends losing their jobs and not being worried one bit while they took some time off and calmly got another job) , excellent infrastructure compared to the US(I wish we had the Paris metro), and an excellent health care system. Having to deal with very annoying bureaucracy at the post office, the local arrondissement administration or the embassy (all of which I did) is made up for the fact that the critical things are just run so well.

I agree with your principle from a theoretical sense and as a developer I often thought of ways to optimize Paris and other cities in Europe. Europe's greatest charm is the potential of its people. I saw so much 'gold' everywhere in the sense that if the EU really wanted to, they have all the ingredients to become a super power. They have the money, definitely have the talent but lack the the underlying will to make it happen. There were so many opportunities to optimize processes there and make the place lean (Especially Paris where I spent the most amount of time but this applies to Berlin, London, Edinburgh, Amsterdam as well).

At the end of the day, they found a way to make things work and avoid the massive gridlock the US has. I'm convinced the reason people in the US are against large government is due to the fact that they haven't effectively seen any other system. Only about a third of citizens have a valid passport so many haven't traveled overseas. ~40% of Americans can't even cover a 400$ emergency.

> If you've put one button on top of the other, you've just created a hierachy. You are telling the user that button is more important than the lower button.

> Have you ever hidden elements until it can be revealed by click on "more" button? That's you telling the user it isn't as important as unhidden elements.

> Have you made defaults? That's you nudging the user into what _you_ think is the sensible choice.

> In my opinion, design is fundamentally about having an opinion. A refined opinion that matches a lot of users is what is commonly deemed to be "good design", but obviously not a design never match all users.

I think we're on the same page here or close to it. I can have lots of strong opinions about how best to inform the user about their options and what will happen if they choose them. I can have strong opinions about which options are best for accomplishing certain goals. But that's different from me trying to get the user to do something specific or wanting them to. Or even having an opinion about what they "should" do, that depends on their goals and circumstances.

> Design is about manipulating people and whether you do it for good or bad is a moral choice.

I still disagree about this. I would agree if you're creating art, an experience that is meant to be fictional. But if you're providing a tool or resource, then I think design is about informing people about their choices and empowering them to make them. So it should strive to be as far from opinionated or manipulative about those choices as possible.
Amazing -- the painting and watercolor simulation aspects, not merely there being an online demo. Is Rebelle a name known to all painters at this point?

> Also - why would you ever set up a system where the majority of its assets can be drained by a single transaction, whether legitimate or not? Just because it's not centralized doesn't mean every transaction is made equal; one could require timeout periods for transactions above a certain amount, or any size of transactions could trigger a halt once a certain amount has been bled in aggregate, that requires supermajority consensus to "unlock" the chain. That this wasn't built in, in an ecosystem where hacking is rampant, by a team focused on creating a cross-chain transmission utility, is surprising, to say the least.

Easier said than done. This is obviously vulnerable to sybil attack- the attacker just make a lot of different transactions. You could build in a circuit breaker that would slow down transactions to only allow a certain rate of increase in total dollar volume going through the bridge. Hopefully this would slow the attacker down enough.

Now you're basically trying to devise a heuristic of what every single attack might look like in terms of transaction volume increase. If you're wrong, the bridge will freeze right when a lot of people want to use it. Plus, you also need to build a price oracle now.

All of this is possible, but maybe it's better to spend that effort on just making sure the code is secure in the first place.

Good engineers can come from anywhere, just like bad engineers.

Engineers leave a company for three reasons:

Lack of career development opportunities -- Not being able to move up or grow in the way you want to. This is a sign of bad management.

Failure to perform -- Management and said engineer couldn't see eye to eye for whatever reason. Incompetent engineer or (worse) incompetent management.

Boredom -- Work has become stagnant, stale, or otherwise boring and management can't find a better place, or there's limited opportunities internally for someone to find new interesting things to do.

Only one of those reasons is truly something that should raise concern. Bad management makes good engineers leave.

Amazon's core problem isn't the engineering. The engineers there are sharp as tacks, in my experience. I am frequently in awe of the people I work with for their technical acumen in so many different fields.

But management training at Amazon is lacking. Managers are often ICs that have been drafted into management with little to no formal training and the amount of training that they get is often from their subordinates who were previously their peers. What little training outside "Just figure it out" seems to be mandatory HR-related content on how to handle the HR systems. That's it.
Is an alloy a metamaterial?
No company hates their users as much as microsoft.

Honestly though, I have little sympathy for people that choose to deal with this stuff. This has been Microsoft's MO for 30 years. If you are bringing their software into your org you know what you are signing up for. You are pretty much consenting to whatever shit they choose to give you.

It's simple. Keep Microsoft out from front to back and you won't have these issues.

To me it's a question I ask when I'm interviewing, and it's one of the biggest signs of a broken culture if a place has heavy microsoft integrations. I'll turn down those offers.
I'm very glad to see the SIX getting some attention on HN. I have a lot of respect for how that IXP is operated -- Chris Caputo runs a tight ship. Their one-time fee structure is very friendly to small participants and very unique for an IXP of that size -- that alone should be lauded. SIX governance is very open and transparent. I can't recall the last time they incurred a major unscheduled outage. I wish more large IXPs were run like the SIX.

You're happy! I'm not criticizing you. I'm literally just saying that your rate is a steal. It is way, way under the market. People should take you up on it.

Private equity will own the robots. UBI is not all roses. It will be a way to give the masses a way to live their lives with a minimum amount of dignity and prevent a complete revolt once all jobs are gone through no fault of the people. This will likely also close off the remaining avenues to escape the lower middle class into upper classes. Whoever acquired capital early on wins and everyone else is stuck like in the centuries past. Think about it. Most of the 'new' billionaires are from tech which was an odd fork in history that the old elite clearly didn't see coming. Now the new rich will be pulling that ladder up from behind them once the robots do every job and UBI gives you a bread and circus.

Even the video description is incorrect.

> Note the driver blows the horn as he enters the intersection. He obviously cannot stop the car. Probable FSD or Autopilot crash.

FSD/Autopilot does not stay on or prevent human interaction. Slamming on the brake turns it off, even assuming was on. This is a "unintended press of the accelerator pedal" type crash. Human error, and actually a good argument for why removing the human from the loop would be a good idea.
