It kinda got me excited but I would’ve love to see a quick tour screencast or something.
I'm mostly on my desktop PC and I didn't know those were called "sausage links", and never even heard that term before. I did notice that YouTube has them and it was at least a few months before I clicked on one of the links. It was several more months before I realized I could scroll them by clicking and dragging them and that was by accident when I moved my mouse while clicking on one.

I'm not a fan of them. I'd rather have and use a drop down menu. I think they're more intuitive and compact.
I think you invalidated your main criticism with i not being physically representable just like negative numbers which people have no problem comprehending, despite also suffering that same problem.

Our "comfort" with mathematics isn't because some concepts are better and some aren't. It's probably more how often we encounter it in everyday life. How often people need to apply complex numbers is WAY less than postive/negative/real numbers.

ALL of the concepts are made up though. There isn't a set of math that isn't entirely made up, with no relation the physical world except for the relationships we also make up.
Evony might as well not exist at all either - not like I was ever going to play it!

How does a publisher verify whether images are from the project being advertised? How do they verify that the game exists? On HN, we talk about running ads to build a database of interested users for a project we might not have created yet.

I think we can hold companies to greater account for not locking out bad actors once they're identified, but I can't see a viable way to do that pre-publishing short of an ad requiring potentially hours of due diligence.

And after the fact, we'd require any advertisers to have a local (business) presence so that false advertising claims could be dealt with. I'd be all for that.
Wow, thanks for posting this. I've had exactly these symptoms for a long time and despite multiple doctors telling me I'm fine, it's still a pretty stressful experience when it occurs!

If an attacker can get arbitrary content on a subdomain of your site, isn't that pretty much game over for credentials on the apex domain?
It's worse than that.

Well-adjusted people get to the point where they have enough money and they switch to doing something other than money-chasing. So in any cohort of people who got rich, the only ones who stay in the chasing-money game past that point are the sociopaths -- the chasing-money game actually selects for these people. Then they end up in charge of the vast majority of the population who do not (yet) have fuck-you money and who play the chasing-money game because they need to eat.

I don't know how to fix this. There are a lot of knee-jerk proposals but none of them will work.
The issue here being that these "problems" lead to increased revenue for the controlling entities, so there is little motivation to "overcome" them
Do machines have the right to free speech?
Yeah, kind of like not embedding each download with a unique ID. Oops...
You might say this is different, and maybe you're right, but the "save the children" rhetoric is exactly the same.
A good point the article made is that Intel now wants subsidies to finance their R&D. Which is basically the government subsidizing the stock buybacks.

I think in a situation like that the subsidies should come in form of the government buying bonds from the company or Intel offering a stake in the company so the government can profit from their investment in the future. Otherwise it's just redistributing money to capital owners, which is stupid and gives an incentive to make bad business decisions.
The current top defense and aerospace companies don’t take care of their employees as well as the companies pushing online ads and smart phones.
Also imagine if money spent on stock buybacks went somewhere productive. :/
Labeling the community with 1% of the visible area isn't a good measure.
Once upon a time the "houseless" were called "vagrants" [1]. Due to the associative nature of human pattern recognition, the word "vagrant" acquired a connotation reminiscent of unpleasant experiences involving its referent.

To insulate their communication from this evocative power of language, activists steered institutions toward a new word ("homeless") and the general public eventually followed suit. But word choice does not change the underlying phenomenon, and so "homeless" was fated to acquire the same nasty connotation as its predecessor, and is now getting replaced again.

Note that the literal nature of "homeless/houseless" actually broadens the category, which is kind of cruel to people who are more functional and only temporarily homeless.

[1] And before that, "bums", "indigents" etc.
Washington State (and probably other states are similar) has a law often summarized as: 'Keep Right - Except to Pass'.

Going SLOW in the left lane(s), particularly on the often 4+ wide lane Interstate Freeways near the urban core(s), is (I would love a real study on this) more dangerous than a driver going a little faster the further left they go. Though the most dangerous, and disruptive, are full-interrupts from enforcement officers to pull someone over and issue a ticket; which also causes a road hazard and gawker block.

I would much rather those public servants focused on even other traffic laws: improperly secured loads, failure to keep right to allow others to pass. Even more preferentially focused on non-traffic crimes: theft, various threats / assaults, etc.
To eschew responsibility for the vetting of the advertisement content, there would need to be better vetting, like KYC / AML requirements, for those submitting the ads in order to ensure there's some real person / company at the end of the chain to be brought into court.
Australian drivers are the some of the worst, angriest and most inconsiderate in the world in my experience. Don't believe me get on the M1 between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, you're guaranteed to see countless people tailgating with less than a meter distance to the car in front at 120+ kmh, snaking between lanes, abusing each other etc etc. Urban speed limits are too high and planners seem to have zero consideration for the safety of people on foot, bike and alternative transport. Hooning is rampant. I could go on. Speed cameras are woefully inadequate to fix any of it.

I think I see what you are saying, and I haven't read the book or anything on this topic. I can absolutely imagine how people would have better lives with more and cleaner water. But billions of people is an extraordinary equilibrium population already, and it makes me wonder if access to water will improve the lives in question, or raise the equilibrium population to a higher level at the same amount of misery and suffering.
Well, in Europe we do have a different take on the whole free speech/consequence balance, so I totally recognise that! I guess I see it a bit like a device which could block ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) - i.e. a device which is designed to allow users to break the law.

Unpopular Opinion: Celebrities should be held legally accountable for the products they endorse.

If a "reasonable person" can look at the info the celeb or influencer had at the time and consider it a scam or untruthful, the celebrity should face financial penalties for making that endorsement.
You’ve never seen someone weaving in and out of traffic, cutting across 3 lanes at a time, and nearly clipping cars each time the change lanes?

Or you’ve never seen someone driving 30 miles an hour faster than the people in the lane next to them?

It wasn’t every day or every week, but I’ve seen it many times commuting into Atlanta over the years.

But sure if you removed speed limits most people would continue driving at a safe speed. The problem is small minority who choose to go 30 over. You can still make that illegal and prosecute them under reckless driving laws. But then you’re just adding even more subjectivity to traffic enforcement.

If you’re on a road without much traffic, what feels safe is subjective. It depends on what you’re used to and the car you’re driving.
Well gosh. My DR plan doesn't allow for running out of space for data
Yeah but... at some point more money doesn't really matter. It's what you're working on and who you're working with, i.e. how you're spending your time, that is the real reward.

I've had experiences working with different agencies and teams in the federal government that I wouldn't trade for a spotted hog.
I think the resolution of the terraform-aws-eks example that started this discussion is a good one. The maintainer clearly stated his political in the README, but left the license alone without a country specific restriction. This is what I meant by separation between the speech, and commercial or OSS distribution.

> Would you be comfortable with an open source license that bans Jewish users because of the Palestinian conflict?

Comfortable is a loaded term here. No I wouldn't, but I could break that down to: Is it something that a maintainer should ...

* legally be able to do - YES

* consider likely to make a difference in the conflict - NO

* consider to be good for the OSS ecosystem - NO

* consider ethically wise - NO

* still consider an OSS license - NO, but I think one could be constructed that had more generic restrictions against human rights abuses, or use by militaries, or similar general restriction. Would that meet OSI definitions? Not sure I care, but I wouldn't be too concerned even I think it would be better to keep things simple.

It is worth noting that OSS distributed from the US as part of sale, still is subject to EAR. While we benefit from having a global community of OSS, local laws still apply in any number of circumstances.
Those are wonderful, I'd definitely use a nice pen and Moleskine
Alternately, a device that encourages users to comply with the law via particularly well-timed, targeted reminders. :)

I don’t recall if it’s Germany or Switzerland (or elsewhere in Europe somewhere) where I’ve seen official signs warning of a speed camera just ahead. Are those signs encouraging breaking the law elsewhere?

In the US a medical formulation was not approved until 1998, but as the sibling notes it was used in the Vietnam War by US medics. Medical studies in the 1980s showed it to be superior to stitches [1]

Cyanoacrylate is just (a very - the most? - common form of) superglue, but the medical formulations were tweaked to be less harmful to skin among other benefits.

There is also VetBond, which is similarly n-Butyl cyanoacrylate as are some medical-grade superglues, but it is only approved for animal use and thus available without a prescription (despite being chemically identical to somemedically approved glues).

unfortunately this happens quite a lot. I've seen it 1st hand (in my employment for someone that was being impersonated).

Even though I've seen it 1st hand quite a lot, it still astounds me how gullible people can be. People with lots of money, people with little money, people who are comfortable and have no desire to 2x their net wealth...

all it takes is a lack of focus, or a brain fart or just a little too much easily placed trust.

Only because most people aren't doing it. Imagine if everyone was performing unneeded maneuvers all the time. Best case, they cause a traffic jam. Worst case they cause an accident.
wsgi, or more realistically AWS Lambda or other modern FaaS platforms that runs even simpler python scripts than cgi.

You're missing the point (and the hundreds of comments in the three years this pep has been open and debated)--the cgi library never would have been included in python if it were proposed today. It doesn't meet the bar for including in the core just like modules to handle json-rpc, grpc, etc. aren't included today. If you want cgi support pull in a high quality third party library to do it.
Thank you for your amazing work!
> And we all know that the higher the speed, the greater risk of injury an death.

It's not that simple. Driving on city streets, at lower speeds, has higher accident and fatality rates. Increasing the speed limit on highways actually reduced fatalities because more people would eschew the city streets for the freeways.

Personally, driving 55 was always lulling me to sleep. I was always stopping at McD's for coffee, or the rest stops so I could run a lap or so. Driving faster keeps me awake and alert.

BTW, I'm not proposing legalizing reckless driving.
You act like a technical solution is the appropriate one, or enough people want to solve the problem that you’d get any interest in solving it.

This is a good idea along with progressively decreasing taxes based on how long you hold the shares. They could go down every year all the way to 5% at 10 years.

This would have a significant impact on encouraging long-term investing for investors and long-term planning for companies.

This should apply only to shares in individual companies and not index funds or mutual funds.

It would also encourage a shift away from short-term speculation and to long-term investing in great companies.
It's terrifyingly bad and its global buffer pool mutex that's designed to look smart on benchmarks falls to pieces if you have a few dozen queries running at the same time. The only places I've had to suffer through it were ones that made the fatal decision early in the life of the company when they didn't have anyone on staff qualified to make that decision, but then were stuck with it forever.

Every time Safari pops up a "passwords are locked" box in the browser window asking for my login password in order to access saved web site passwords, I think it's a fake popup.
Interesting, Firefox made it overlap very slightly with the browser chrome, which I'd never noticed before; is that, perhaps, specifically because of this issue?
You know I let a lot of important things in Firefox slide (like the poor Webspeech API support, bad text-to-speech, some missing extensions and a lot of other things) but I still make it a habit to use it over Chrome (and recommend it to everybody) as somewhere in my mind it feels like a small revolt against the giant evil Google corp.

But stuff like this and other shenanigans in the past (like Mr.robot, misuse of funding, etc) is really off-putting sometimes. It really makes me feel naive and just drinking the support open-source kool-aid.
Agree with others' comments on impostor syndrome. I organise my thoughts ahead of interactions so I can avoid looking foolish.

While my goal is to look prepared, I don't think the preparation itself directly affects how I am seen. It is more that being prepared reduces my anxiety and makes it easier for me to be fully present.

I actually wrote a quite detailed post on LI about my process for this a couple of months back: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/peterhaasz_i-suffer-from-impo...

Another dimension for me is that preparedness is about energy management. I have had my fair share of running between meetings with no context and figuring things out on the fly. You get through it, but gee it's exhausting.
You can not buy legitimate painkillers more powerful than Tramadol on the darknet.

This is very alarming. If web session data will never be included in telemetry, why do some people have to ability to query joins? That means it can happen. Why does this small set of people need to access my web session data?

I don't use Firefox regularly, but I have it installed on my computers. I think I'm going to uninstall it completely. This stuff has become more and more common, and is totally unacceptable.
It doesn't work that way with speed cameras here. Repeated offenses will get your license revoked, at which point your offenses start being driving without a license and speeding which will end in jail.

If I've inlined a method, and someone redefines that method in a language that allows that, then I'm going to need to reload that code.

I have, and those driver(s) were clearly impaired - drunk or high. I did not propose removal of reckless or impaired driving laws. There are also laws against creating a hazard while driving, which would apply to driving 30mph faster than the adjacent traffic.
I can't see how that is possible without blocking countries from the advertising/participation pool. It's the Wild West otherwise. Pointless having a name if your pursuit doesn't have legal teeth.

My Facebook ads are 50% crypto-scams, 40% bizarre and weird gambling games, and 10% medications. So basically 90% scams. And even the medications are probably iffy.

There is no way Facebook doesn't know about it.
That's an easy one, of course. By identifying a "commonly-used installer" (say, some installer stored by some IT team) you could then do things like say with more certainty "no, we do need older installers to keep working". Or reach out to mirrors that have decided to stop updating installers.

From an Ops perspective, having an idea of how your install base is installing your browser can have a lot of implications. And not having the information could easily lead you to accidentally breaking installations for large subsets of your users.

There's also content-market-y stuff involved, of course.

> linear regression on data that is so poorly explained by a linear relationship.

That is exactly what they are saying. This is from TFA:

> The graphics above demonstrate that variation in rates of homelessness cannot be explained by variation in rates of individual factors such as poverty and mental illness.

They are, in my words, saying "Look at this plot, the x-axis has no bearing on the y-axis. To give you a sense of how bad it is, we fit a line to it and it is exactly 0 useful." I don't know why you are focusing so hard on the plots without reading their words. You are in agreement with TFA. Now, for the plot with R^2 of 0.55, that clearly has some positive relationship to it.

As for your last paragraph, I disagree 100%. They are trying to find an explanatory variable, not "summarize the data". By showing all the points, it is evident there is no relationship. As you have continuously pointed this out, the plot achieved its goal. In my opinion, the line is a nice touch for statisticians to know that no illusions from scaling of the axes are playing tricks.

Citation needed. I worked there for two years and there are a LOT of projects that are sitting collecting dust that in my opinion could really help people if they were released as open source. The one I am thinking of (not my place to disclose what it is) was canned in 2017 and I always wished they would have just released it. X has open sourced some stuff and that is great, but whether they have been "really good" about this is debatable IMO.

I believe this is an example of what Wesley Yang refers to as moral entrepreneurism. By inventing ever more sensitive and politically correct language these “moral entrepreneurs” create a moral heirarchy where none existed and they are more virtuous than those who do not use the updated terms.
Nice, this will be really helpful because it will end up in system monitoring logs/graphs. I've had to hunt down issues before and when you can see what it is that's eating a bunch of CPU it can be a very helpful hint.
