That is called the Ford Pinto theory...

"Ford Pinto"
https://philosophia.uncg.edu/phi361-matteson/module-1-why-do...

"...Thus, Ford knew that the Pinto represented a serious fire hazard when struck from the rear, even in low-speed collisions. Ford officials faced a decision. Should they go ahead with the existing design, thereby meeting the production timetable but possibly jeopardizing consumer safety? Or should they delay production of the Pinto by redesigning the gas tank to make it safer and thus concede another year of subcompact dominance to foreign companies? Ford not only pushed ahead with the original design but stuck to it for the next six years.

What explains Ford’s decision? The evidence suggests that Ford relied, at least in part, on cost-benefit reasoning, which is an analysis in monetary terms of the expected costs and benefits of doing something. There were various ways of making the Pinto’s gas tank safer. Although the estimated price of these safety improvements ranged from only $5 to $8 per vehicle, Ford evidently reasoned that the increased cost outweighed the benefits of a new tank design...

How exactly did Ford reach that conclusion? We don’t know for sure, but an internal report, “Fatalities Associated with Crash-Induced Fuel Leakage and Fires,” reveals the cost-benefit reasoning that the company used in cases like this. This report was not written with the pinto in mind; rather, it concerns fuel leakage in rollover accidents (not rear-end collisions), and its computations applied to all Ford vehicles, not just the Pinto. Nevertheless, it illustrates the type of reasoning that was probably used in the Pinto case.

In the “Fatalities” report, Ford engineers estimated the cost of technical improvements that would prevent gas tanks from leaking in rollover accidents to be $11 per vehicle. The authors go on to discuss various estimates of the number of people killed by fires from car rollovers before settling on the relatively low figure of 180 deaths per year. But given that number, how can the value of those individuals’ lives be gauged?..."
Yes, using a native client would help, since now the server that would need to be compromised is 1Password's build-box, and it'd be much more difficult to get away with targeting only a few specific users with a modified client. What would help a lot more is if the clients were all fully open source with a 100% reproducible build process.
This just made it click for me why imaginary numbers are used in electrical engineering
This was a case where Bezos wanted NASA to fund it's entire development program from scratch at a cost much higher than NASA ever funded SpaceX's development program. See my other comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30297198
> But “imaginary” numbers are no more or less legit than, say, transcendental numbers.

I disagree? The ratio of a circumference to a diameter is clearly a positive number between 3 and 4, and it sure feels more legit than something whose square is a negative number.
One of the benefits of a data oriented ECS setup is that it's much more cache optimal due to the way data is packed, but that's not necessarily the primary reason to use it. In fact, on the data packing implementation side, there are actually differing ways in which the data can be packed, with differing performance pros and cons depending on type of data / access pattern.

Really, the primary benefit is that you get a much cleaner paradigm to work with. Here's a good basic overview of the point of an ECS system: https://iolivia.me/posts/entity-component-system-explained/

In particular I'll point to the key quote in that post that distinguishes ECS from OOP encapsulation: "The whole idea is separating behaviour from logic, so all the data goes in components and all the behaviour goes into systems."
Other databases have optimizer hints for that, but apparently there’s resistance to adding hints into Postgres [1]. I find hints very useful (in Oracle world) for quickly working around some optimizer glitch (and figure out the long term solution later).

There actually is a “pg_hint_plan” [2] Postgres module that adds some hints to Postgres optimizer (but it’s not part of Postgres core as I understand):

MMT 101. The federal government is a net payer of Interest to the private sector. Thus, when interest rates are increased, Interest income to the private sector increases. Interest paid by the US treasury to the private sector is kind of printing money. When interest rates go down, interest income to the private sector decreases.
The German greens, now freshly back in government, have greatly accelerated worldwide deployment of renewables when they were in government last time. Without them it would have easily taken a decade longer for prices to plummet to the current levels. Renewables wouldn't be the cheapest form of energy. Let's see what they can do this time around. When the economics favor renewables, then its a no brainer. This makes new nuclear projects even more questionable. Note that the promises are there since at least 60 years. Lack of investment wasn't a problem. Recently a swiss energy company said they don't want to build new nuclear. Why should they, it doesn't make money unless the government is willing to provide the profits, which is only the case in some countries.

I'm no expert, I just have the impression that the field of economics professionally is basically a lost cause, at least until generational turn-over if even that.

Anything interesting has to engage with real facts like energy consumption, pollution, harvesting of raw materials, and somehow acknowledge the huge portion of human activities that are not measured in money. I don't know of anyone within economics who really does this, but if they exist, I am certain they are a pariah in the field, treated with contempt if even acknowledged by the rest of the folks.

I think there's something like "environmental economics" but I'm not sure the quality of it. I haven't looked in depth, but https://doughnuteconomics.org seems good, I just have the impression that it's enough work to just get people to even accept the basic premise, so there's not yet the depth of study that would get into the deep complexities, though I see no reason it couldn't get there.

On studying real humans as economic actors (rather than homo economicus), the best might be "behavioral economics" which is psychology, empirical, interested in real science (but arguably too behaviorist and not cognitive enough). I think they mostly only grapple with microeconomics and not macro. (I have the impression that the field of economics today, Austrians included, just have this say-so assertion that there is no macroeconomics beyond being just the sum of microeconomic patterns, and this leads to them refusing to study things on a macro level).

I have a friend who went to Japan to do economics grad-school work with some professor he thought was onto some better view, but it turned out that guy was a pariah of course who had no respect from colleagues, and the whole thing was a dead-end, and he eventually just gave up on economics having any hope as a field.

FWIW, I'm skeptical about aspects of what Marxists say often, but there's a good portion at least of concepts Marx talked about that are pretty darn sensible, and they are basically verboten because of the political biases in the field. When some topics that are intellectually sound enough are barred from discussion for political reasons, then it's just not an intellectually honest field of study. I've heard incidentally that Marx himself was anti-Marxist. There's a lot of confusion that gets wrapped up in associations people have with economic concepts versus the assertions of dogmatic political activists. I do respect Yanis Varoufakis (he calls himself an "erratic Marxist" to emphasize a non-dogmatic view that includes and respects ideas from Marx). If I have to pick one reference to suggest, I'd go with him at this point.

If anyone else has a good reference that really engages with these things, I'm curious too
Isn't diversification usually more along the lines of different sectors and asset classes? Trying to hedge your bet in Apple by buying Samsung doesn't seem like a sensible strategy, since many things could happen that adversely affect that whole sector. but then again I am far from an expert here.
The US has had quite a few proxy wars with nuclear armed countries. I think it prevents an all our war like WWI and WWII, but not war in general. Less war? Perhaps. We seem to be doing our damndest to have at least one going on at all times though.
I was speaking to the pointlessness of a hypothetical boycott, not arguing directly with you.

I disagree that the device is crippled without 3rd party apps. It may not be quite as useful or perhaps fun, but it would still be a far more useful device than a Motorola Razr phone or a Blackberry.

Yes it’s a new premise. Apple provides an app market to 1.65B devices to app developers with little entrance risk to the devs much beyond the elbow grease they spent creating the app. How much more money and effort would a developer have to spend to get their app that level of exposure without the App Store? A lot, and all of it amounting to real dollars at risk with no guarantee of payoff. What’s truly at risk publishing at the App Store? Nothing but a publishers time. Even the 30% you pay to Apple only hits if you are making money. It’s a commission, they marketed and sold the app for you, handled the transaction, distribution, and dropped some cash in your bank account. 30% in my mind is pretty cheap for what you get. Any other business that relied on third parties services to handle the marketing, sales, shipping, and finance transaction of the product would not bat an eye if those costs ran to 30%.

As for Unix and Windows deciding to charge a fee? That wouldn’t bother me a bit if they were marketing, selling, and handling the transaction for my app. Do it.

It's a catch-all term for all the law enforcement people. There's now so many organizations that can get your data through warrants, and some even without warrants, so that's a convenient term to use. And especially if you're not a citizen/resident of the US since the Fourth Amendment does not apply to you. But it's not like the 4A has stopped them or slowed them down anyway.

This is also relevant because the need for Atomic Energy Intelligence was a major factor in the formation of the CIA. This is mentioned in e.g. https://foia.state.gov/DOCUMENTS/cia/3f0c.PDF#page=6

"The Atomic Energy Commission is in a unique position in that it is perhaps the only permanent agency of the Government which has operational intelligence responsibilities comparable to that of the State, War, or Navy Departments. It is difficult at times to distinguish operational intelligence from actual operations and it is found that the Commission, without recognizing it as such, -----------------------------------------------------------------------"

Yes, spot on.
This is great, it reminds me of an old Bobby Fischer book I had years ago that taught chess by studying endgames first, instead of openings, which is similar to these minigames. I like that these minigames are more focused on exploring chess, than just simulating possible endgames.

To be fair every now and then the project files would get messed up by the tooling, and happened more often with nuget. It's still rare though and can be fixed by digging in to what's going on, or just recreating the projects and readding the source files.
You can be proven wrong distressingly easily. Hopefully nobody does.
I understand your justification boils down to 'did it for the greater social good to out people I disagree with.'

It doesn't make me look any more favorably on you. You engage in 'luring', drawing people into performances they 'didn't want to be in' and set 'traps.' Some of these people you engage may be genuinely bad and disingenuous people, others may be honest and well meaning people with bad ideas. And some, may simply have ideas you disagree with and don't have bad ideas at all. You on the other hand, are cool and calculated while laying in wait with what you characterize as 'traps' for others.

Frankly I think you're no better than the individuals you intend to impugn. You use your remarkable intelligence for deceit, and even brag about it. Dishonest behavior is not the way to fix unsavory influences. But the greatest tyrannies and misdeeds happen under guise of acting on the greater good, and this same rationale tends to make people act in the boldest fashion when they otherwise would not.
I like the Elmish way of explicitly managing state. You have one model that changes. Any model state can be rendered. The state is obvious and clear. If you want to test something just creat that state and test it. No need to click 10 buttons just to get the UI into the state where your bug was found.

As someone who has been following him for a long time and as someone who likes him a lot, I feel his understanding of ML and technologies related to FSD to be the worst of his knowledge. He fails to answer interesting technical questions when they are posed to him by audiences in the past. His lack of understanding of ML and FSD make me highly doubt that Tesla will ever achieve it. I still like Tesla and they have revolutionized an industry, but they need to completely end the FSD program and move on with mass production of cool vehicles. It's a boondoggle.
Do you know what verified means? It does not mean endorsement or "high quality user". It just means an account claiming to be a real life person is indeed actually that person.
Tristan Needham’s word is “amplitwist”, meaning a scaling composed with a planar rotation.

A complex number should be thought of as the quotient of plane vectors: a quantity z = v/u which when multiplied by vector u yields v: that is zu = v.

(Important note: multiplication of a complex number by a vector is not commutative, zu ≠ uz.)

Is the issue, possibly, that virtually every company has decided that hiring people and training them up in the requisite skillsets is an unreasonable ask? Despite that being the pattern for employment for most of the history of employment as a concept? Where do you think the population of junior engineers is going to come from if everyone thinks it's unreasonable to "foot the bill to train them"?

Drives me crazy that people don't want to hire entry level engineers, don't want to train people, and then complain they can't hire anyone. I was a bootcamp grad, and I was pretty useless for at least the first 6 months after I got my first job, as are most entry level engineers. Since then, I've been a pretty substantial bargain for every company I've worked for, based on the fact that I've managed 25+% raises at each subsequent job hop. I'd still be working at the first place I ever worked if they'd just kept my comp roughly in the same ballpark as what I was being offered.
Not that I condone it, but can you please point out exactly which laws are broken when you lie on a resume?

The muskets (arquebuses) used by the Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century were even slower than that. They were lucky to fire 2 rounds per minute. But they also had crossbows, steel weapons, armor, and horses — as well as tactical doctrine which completely outclassed any of the primitive New World civilizations.

But disease did wipe out the majority of their adversaries, so they had a relatively easy time dealing with the survivors.

if youre not extracting a profit from people enjoying the art, why are you advocating for it? what is your skin in the game? if youre only advocating it to get rid of it by selling it, i dont think thats a genuine advocacy for the piece.

im unclear that this scarcity is different from making a wordpress site with n posts, each one being a picture generated with the different parameters.

i think the website version is better, even, since you as the artist can pick out the best individual items when producing the single art work that is "n pieces generated by this algorithm"

i dont think it really unlocks anything new. Whats different is having tooling that makes it easy to do

>I was away with work for a week and left all my keys (with AirTags) at home

The parent comment said "You can chose to stop getting an alert if a particular device is following you". I don't see how what they said applies to your scenario, given your scenario is literally the opposite.

Since you weren't near the airtags, you couldn't have stopped them from beeping/following you. But whoever was at your home near the airtags (presumably the person who put them in the fridge) had the ability to disable them from beeping/following them.
they also wrote uvloop [0] which is fantastic and advances the cutting edge of what can be done with modern asyncio-based Python. I saw a ~3x improvement in the throughput of a microservice I wrote when I first tried it out years ago. currently at $dayjob we just use it by default in every Python service, whether or not we expect that service to be performance-critical.

it's as close as you can get to having actual magic sprinkles that make your code go faster.

None of these are the reason. The reason is that HTTPS traffic is generally between a service provider (i.e., company) and an end user, and the former can be easily subpoenaed and compelled to disclose data during an ongoing investigation into the latter.

The USG doesn't need to (and doesn't bother to) break HTTPS for domestic LEO, because existing mechanisms are easier and approved by the courts.
In principle I am against nuclear weapons. In practice I believe a deterrent state (at least two adversarial countries maintaining an active nuclear stockpile) is probably better than just one country maintaining an active stockpile.

I always wonder what would have happened if it had taken the Soviets longer to develop atomic weapons (or never did). Would a hawkish US president be more likely to use nuclear weapons to assert foreign policy than they are now?
Sorry but bad article. It resolves with a “range()” function and then uses for-of to call it: that’s not functional programming.

Then every for-of loop example does not execute anything because it’s creating an inline arrow function without calling it.
