On signal you will get various security related messages, like person x changed is key (because they reinstalled).

That stuff confuses every non IT person.

Not caring about it, allows for a more simple UI and UX to provide a easy way for
person A to message B.
Where B can be a group of thousands of people.

(a really secure way of posting a message to a big group would be way more complicated, even signal makes compromises)
Does anyone need e2ee on group chats anyway?
It is the same. It takes the same time for your savings to go from $1 k to $10 k as it does from $10 k to $100 k.

In other words, if you have $10 k in savings, and then skip the insurance and go down to $1 k, you might end up retiring with $10 k. Whereas if you do take the insurance and your savings stay at roughly $10 k, you can retire with $100 k – given the exact same day job, etc.

Your savings compound. That's the only requirement of the Kelly criterion, regardless of everything else.

That's like saying a ship sank not because of the hurricane, but because it was flooded and ended up capsizing. Sure, it wouldn't have sunk if it had stayed in port, but we still say the hurricane was the cause.
You can get the web fonts below 20 KB each if you subset them. You can also check if they are present on the system with `local()` before `url()` in the font-face declaration. You could also give the Apple system fonts a higher priority than Inter, because Inter and San Francisco are pretty similar.
I think OPs point is that the article ignores the reason why the heuristic is used in the first place, which is to optimize the process at scale.

The real cost of gathering additional data and knowledge about the circumstances in the 0.01% chance you know that you have at this point, at scale, means you'll end up with worse overall outcome by not being able to scale to all events that need the attention.

Now, if a doctor is just being lazy, doesn't check anything, says you'll be fine take Tylenol and then spends the next half hour reading a book until the next appointment. Or simply wants to go through twice as many patients to make more money. Ya sure, that's just being lazy and useless, and negligent, replace them by a rock at that point.

But if there are 100 people with initial symptoms, and only 1 doctor. And the deep dive to properly asses the likelihood of a 0.01% chance event in the case of symptom: "My hip hurts when I walk" takes multiple hours, a lab test, many follow ups, etc. While this happens and maybe out of the 100 patients waiting, some have symptoms like: "I'm actively bleeding out my mouth.". "I have spores on my skin." "I'm in so much pain I can't fall asleep." All with known much higher likelihood of something pretty bad and urgent.

That's why triage is so important. And this use of the heuristic at scale might make sense when considering the cost/time and available resources trade off.

At the individual level, it means eventually someone will get shafted by this, they'll be sent home with Tylenol, and 3 days later will have a stroke and it would have turned out they are the really rare case where hip pain could indicate a risk of stroke due to say a blood cloth.

But at a larger scale, many more people will have received the treatment they needed more urgently.

Some of these examples are wrong.

Both Skeptic and Futurist provide value for risk-averse people, as they help to explain away the changes. That’s why lots of people read these skeptics and futurists, because their message is predictable and brings very expected emotions every time.

Example with Interviewer assumes finding diamonds among low-promise CVs has value for a company — does not work that way for companies with huge hiring funnels. Interviewer that focuses on effective but imperfect screening will get far in these, all the while bringing lots of value to the company.

Article also simplifies these roles down to a single, almost binary, function. Which is pretty ironic, given the idea this article tries to communicate.
It's most definitely a scam.

And if you want to dig deeper, I'd follow up with The Kelly Capital Growth Investment Criterion. It's just a collection of peer-reviewed science on the Kelly criterion and various applications. Very dense reading, but also the best overview of the subject I've seen.

This needs to be seen in the context of the political situation in the UK. Boris Johnson, the current PM, is currently on this 9th and last political live. During the strictest period of lockdown, when UK citizens where not able to say goodbye to loved ones dying in hospitals, several parties were organised at his residence . It is alleged he attended two of them himself and was photographed drinking beer. In attempt to rescue his political career, he has announced several "red meat" measures and this appears to be one of them.

Over the years several attempts have been made to introduce this. Just like past attempts it will face a heavy lobby from the adult content industry and social media companies. More importantly this government will likely not be around long enough to actually introduce it (the consensus is that Boris will be gone after the May local elections). It will almost certainly drop off the radar of a subsequent government as there are much bigger and more important issues to tackle after Covid.

In the unlikely event it will get introduced, it will be delayed for years. For past measures Ofcom, the media regulator, was asked to classify all adult websites to determine if they fall in a category that requires age verification, and as you can imagine, this can take a while. In addition age verification is only required for websites that allow users to upload content, not commercially sourced content. There are endless loopholes here, however, likely adult websites will just block user content from UK visitors. It is not like there is a shortage of commercial content. Of course VPN providers will do well out of this too.
I'd like to believe that there is some kind of counter-balancing drawback to beauty like you suggest. Life would be more fair. But I think the cruel truth is that people continue to enjoy advantages from the headstart they got from their youthful beauty long after their beauty has faded. Advantages like self-confidence, career advancements, and social networks don't vanish the instance beauty fades.

Also, I don't think beautiful people are particularly likely to be narcicists or sociopaths or otherwise consciously rely on their beauty as a tool. I think most beautiful people are oblivious to the advantages they enjoy. Things are just a bit easier for them. Steve Yegge tells how he was catapulted into leadership at Amazon shortly after losing over 50 pounds.

I believe white privilege works in much the same way. It's difficult to see that you're playing on easy mode when you've never played on hard mode.

I have contemplated a style of 3d printing a tall building using many small robots similar to kiva robots. Robots would be free to move on a large flat concrete building site. As the building is built, the robots would move around under it adding concrete or other building materials at various points and pushing upward. Multiple robots would be able to work simultaneously and build in parallel on a very large structure without a bottleneck like a single gantry moving around.

I've got something even faster for small buildings, but this would still be good for very large ones.
I think the notion is that you end up at the same level of moderately unhappy/trapped-in-routine as if you hadn't gone.

Yes, please.

Wrong conclusion. (What, you wanna cut my HN procrastination by three quarters?!?) Correct conclusion: Just ban all that endlessly scrolling shit.
I think this loss it a bit more painful than you imply. Sure, they're prototypes, but these are the latest prototypes. They were probably equipped with laser links, and while 40 satellites is only a small fraction of the entire constellation, it would be a much more substantial fraction of the laser-equipped ones.

You can embed growth, surprise, and serendipity into your box of daily (weekly) experience.

For example, watching your child grow up, making discoveries or seeing your work be implemented at scale, watching movies or reading books, or seeing your own skills develop in your hobby.

The point is to do things in life where you can encounter growth and discovery, so that your days/weeks can link together to form a bigger coherent picture of your life.
> there is little reason to run native apps,

There are plenty. I like both worlds. Telegram for example is a good example of an unneeded desktop app that lives fine in the browser ( web.telegram.org ), multiple versions, regular updates, platform independent. On the other side there is signal, which forces to use a very shitty desktop app (or maybe I have not found a better yet). It just sucks.

On linux I have no issues installing "native" apps whatsoever. My editor (emacs), cad software, music player (!) - sure spotify works, but I like my network transparent MPD way more. I could go a lot farhther.

Iam curious about (cloud-)gaming since I actually was very suprised how good it can work.

Each new “reality bubble” or “box” I created in response to different circumstances in a different environment. I changed, or rather, different sides of my personality had to develop to adapt to a different environment.

I’m not speaking as a vacationing cubicle worker, but as someone who completely reinvented himself after age 30, learned a half dozen languages, visited 50 countries usually on local peoples sofas, and then finally changed countries of habitation several times and am now a dual national and feeling both mental boxes quite strongly attempting to box me in.

The part where I agree with the author is that part in which our reality is limited by our own mental box of perception and acculturation.

Our choices and responses to external stimuli determine if we fold or adapt to new opportunities.
Will we hide in our shell or will we come out and be molded by new experiences?

Please note, the instagram vacation model is accurate and hollow as outlined by the author, I just think that they copped out with their lame trite conclusion that I have personally found to be untrue.

Any loss of a mass production sat can be tolerated. Or at least tolerated better than the loss of a bespoke one off sat.

So the loss of a batch of starlink or GPS or glonass is not a tragedy like the loss of Webb would have been.
It has gotten much better in the pandemic. I pay at the bakery etc with cards. Not sure when I last paid enything with cash. Only caveat is that "cards" not always means Visa/MC/AmEx, but can mean Girocard only. If that is the case (and I'd just ask) then you as a non German will have to pay cash.
The Kelly criterion, which maximises long-term growth, also has the nice property that it gets to any particular desired level faster than any other strategy, on average.
Accounts getting closed is the case of any major platform. If it is for fighting against bots and robots, it is a good thing. If it is fighting against humans, not so good. I have a opinion, that nobody should be censored/cancelled - it just makes them more angry and furious and will not change how they think or act.
Never used Haskell but rather F#/OCaml and immediately fell in love with its maybe monads and partial function application. Couple years later I dipped my toes into Erlang and my initial disappointment with the absence of these constructs was replaced with intoxication upon my discovery of pattern matching. It is interesting to see this attempt at a best of both worlds but it only satisfies a curiousity at this point and not a need - everything just looks like pattern matching envy now.

Ask HN: Would you be willing to pay to customise feed algorithms?
My assumption is the youtube (or any) algo optimises for engagement so more ads can be sold.

If I pay a monthly subscription the incentive can be paid off so I can decide instead. I assume it would be simple to allow people to adjust sliders on predetermined scales. I assume most people would select against "outrage" for example which seems sorely needed. That way the feed can be adjusted to what I really value rather than what seems to generate engagement at any cost.

This would allow companies to earn money from customers rather than taking a detour via advertisement, which we seem to agree is bad. Otherwise we wouldn't pay to have it go away. The "user attention as product" brings all kind of issues which this would seem to fix.

I'm reluctant to pay for youtube premium because I can simply install an adblocker. Part of me doesn't see why I should pay. The ability to influence my feed directly would seem like a much more valuable feature.

I changed my mind about advertising
I've been hugged twice on 100 mbit domestic broadband, and it's honestly not been all that bad.

In general I've seen somewhere between 1-5 visitors per second, a couple of million over a day. I think keeping the number of requests per visit down is a big key to surviving this traffic with low resources.

The first hug was search.marginalia.nu, which used to load fonts and had a load of about 50 Kb/visit; but still only generated in maybe 4-5 GETs per visit. I measured about 2 Mbps.

The second time was search.marginalia.nu/browse/random, which loads 75 images at a resolution of 512x348 (mostly WebP; so anywhere between 2 and 30 Kb). These were randomly picked from a very large pool, so they can't be meaningfully cached. I presciently set them to lazy loading and I think that made a big difference, especially from mobile visitors as they'd only load a few at a time. I didn't measure the bandwidth usage at this point, but it stayed up and stayed responsive throughout the day.

I think something that possibly also makes a difference is that I don't do any sort of session cookies or mutable non-ephemeral state in my backend. I can only imagine having to validate sessions and manage access/roles for every request would make for a lot more work.

I don't think it's necessarily the bandwidth that's going to be the bottleneck, rather than something like contested locks in the database, resulting in back pressure in turn causing traffic jam of lingering connections. Reducing mutable server state helps a lot with that.
I was betting 20% before reading the article and still went almost straight to zero. That’s gambling I guess.
I'll take a good library over any framework.

I did run a few semi-private sites from my home but I soon found the incoming traffic was causing my outbound connection to fall over. Lots of dropped video calls and spotty vpn connections. I assume because my ISP provided router was not handling the incoming requests very well. I wonder if anyone here has any good advice to get this sort of setup to run well?
Hi Beardyw,

Thanks for that info, I haven't had the chance to test out on Android so thanks for letting me know.

Company culture is treat others the way you want to be treated. So be honest, and don't try to BS around the answer.

Of course, there's confidentiality and politeness with certain questions, e.g. often people ask why this seat is empty and you don't necessarily want to tell them that the last guy ragequit. But you also don't want to spin things. I often bring up Glassdoor reviews and it's common for people to spin excessive work as "a challenge".

If you're hiring someone smart (and you often want to!), they'll see right through it.

Also they shouldn't expect things to be perfect. If everything was 100% documented with full test coverage and everything is under control, why hire someone? That's a flag.

You're right, of course. I think the formulation was aimed more at general life events that we don't even think of as insurable. I can't recall any concrete examples from that person, whoever it was, but one thing I've long wanted is insurance against bad weather on family outings planned well in advance. Some days when I have more important meetings to get to farther away, I would also like insurance against unexpected traffic jams and other holdups.

Essentially, we make all these tiny little bets every day, and while it's possible to hedge them[1], it's complicated compared to just straight-up money-based insurance.

[1]: I can for example reserve a table at a fancy restaurant halfway to the important meeting, so if I get stuck on my way and miss the meeting I can at least get a nice meal out of it, at the cost of the table reservation.
