If it's as truly a scam as you seem to think, wouldn't you think it also strange that many participants willingly participate in this system?

It's not like there's a gun to the heads of producers and traders. Market makers are also usually not a single entity. Traders could trade amongst themselves in a different exchange that bans market makers. And yet no such exchange exists (as far as i know - except over the counter exchanges perhaps, which not many people use).

Dalio said without reservation or probability that at the start of COVID we were in a global depression. Oops, 100% wrong but no one cares.

IMO the entire narrative that Americans are so divided is largely an illusion. People are highly divided over wedge issues in online arguments.

If you turn off the internet, the phone and FOX/CNN/MSNBC people are pretty much the same.

Sporting events are a good example of reality. If the media narratives were true getting a 100k people in a sports stadium would result in utter chaos.

We are certainly not as divided as in the 60s. That is so apparent if you read any history from that time.

Actually, if we suffer from anything it is exactly represented by Dalio. Conflating extreme wealth accumulation with extreme intelligence and wisdom. The ideas of billionaires are given far too much weight. Not based on the ideas themselves but on the size of their net worth.

IMO if Feynman or Einstein were alive today no one would listen to them, "If you are so smart why don't you have a billion dollars???"
Looking at the powertrain:

It has to be either the planetary gear set or the chain - none of the gears are helical, so they're bound to be noisy. According to the specs the motor is a permanent magnet synchronous motor, which is normally mostly silent.
Do you think bridge loans are a scam and should be removed from modern life? What about insurance?

Fierce competition by market makers mean that for commodities producers and consumers they don’t need to go to investment banks to get bespoke insurance & loan products. They can instead use the market extremely cheaply.

This means that it’s less risky to produce nickel or use it in industrial/commercial processes.

That in turn is not just an efficiency improvement it allows pricing oddities like this one to stay in the realm of wonky finance news. Without the exchanges and market makers the commodity supply chain would lurch and halt, and we’d have stories about how no smartphone batteries will be available in 2023.
I’m guessing you didn’t read the whole paper. Perhaps you thought it would be boring?

They did two different studies. One took a list of occupations, and asked the respondents “Joe is an accountant. How boring does that make him seem, 1-7?”

The other study then created a vignette combining attributes that were individually rated into a bigger description, then asked “how competent (skilled, hard-working) does this person seem?”

So the connection is boringness -> low competency, and not necessarily all data analyst -> boring.

Data analyst was down the list a bit on boringness - less than accounting, law, and a few others. Mathematics on the other hand had the lowest boringness rating of the occupations.
Speaking of which, I went years without getting scam spam in my inbox (not counting marketing emails I never signed up for). In the last year or so some spam does make it through the filters into my inbox.

I'm going to side with the author here: if he read "Advanced R", "R for data Science", "The R Inferno", "Rtips. Revival 2014!", the official "An Introduction to R", "R Language Definition", and "R FAQ", and yet he still has problems with the language, then maybe the language is to blame.

And even if the author is the problem, I wouldn't accuse them of not reading enough.
What a masterful evasion of the issues OP raised.

There is no excuse whatsoever for requiring someone clicking a link in an email you sent them, to verify their address with you (by clicking a link you sent them.) OP is right, you're engaged in dark pattern techniques and you know damn well that you're doing it.

OP: don't give him a pass. Sue him under the CAN-SPAM act.

Emergency vehicles don't and can't expect full compliance and open road 6 seconds after they turn on their lights and sirens, that would be irrational. It takes time to move out of the way, especially in the sort of traffic this is designed for (low-speed stop-and-go highways).
> [discussing how c(list(1, 2, 3), LETTERS[1:5]) is not what the author would expect] To get list(1, 2, 3, LETTERS[1:5]), you must do something like x <- list(1, 2, 3); x[[4]] <- LETTERS[1:5].

The following works and it looks quite natural:

I still use KeePassX and have no issues with it so no reason to move to XC. I do value an actively maintained project, but I also value stability - and particularly for a security-sensitive application, I quite like the fact that it hasn’t been updated in years (I’m not saying I assume all the bugs have been fixed, just that there is less churn in which bugs could hide). How should I evaluate the respective projects from the perspective of security, and the level of trust I should be placing in the developers?
How is "Sorry you are having difficulty" a "weasel phrase"? I don't see how that implies the user is at fault. It seems like you're policing language unnecessarily
Theoretically, you can. We looked into it.

Can some more mathy person (in laymen terms) explain how a teardrop shape (ie pointy at top, round at bottom) isn’t the same thing? Seems like that would just have one stable and one unstable point, though I’m sure I’m missing something.
Electricity isn't the only source of carbon, ghg or other pollution. And indeed, it's one of the easier ones since wind and solar are the cheapest sources of electricity these days (partly thanks to Germany's foresight and early investments)

If I was going to ding Germany for anything (because they've been pretty much world leaders on the whole climate thing) it would be their initial reluctance to embrace EVs but they seem to be over that now. And they stepped back slightly on their climate leadership under a right-wing government but greens seem to have more influence currently so getting back on track.

But generally their carbon intensity of the whole economy is trending in the right direction, despite doing more heavy manufacturing than most other EU countries.

Or maybe the language just isn't for every one and for every usecase. I would be hesitant to write something customer-facing in R. But it's great for doing statistics. The main problem with R is that people underestimate how different it is and thus don't care to learn practices for writig robust R code.

I'll probably be switching from 1Password soon, as they get ready to force their Electron implementation onto customers. I downloaded Strongbox but I was surprised to find that configuring the storage backend was super confusing.

What is the best "backend" for setting up sync between KeePassXC/Strongbox/etc, between multiple clients active simultaneously?

Is there a good reason why we haven't seen something like a REST API enabled backend using KeePassXC as a client? Syncing files using off-the-shelf services is great that it exists, but it's obviously far from an optimal solution.

I've had the opposite experience. OVH charged my creditcard twice for the same payment, then simply refused to see the issue. I sent screenshots showing both payments, they just kept reiterating there was only one invoice (which was exactly the point). And every interaction typically took about five days -- for each follow-up to the same ticket. Had to revert one with my creditcard provider.

With Hetzner on the other hand I've had technical support issues responded to adequately within two hours, multiple times. As a small individual customer no less.

With AWS, the "datacenter" isn't a concept users have to worry about (or can even discover or manage). Each AZ comprises many datacenters, each region comprises many AZs, and AWS makes it easy to deploy most services across multiple AZs in a region. If one AWS datacenter goes down (and this happens occasionally), typically only one AZ in the region is affected.

yeah, if they somehow manage to remove the original data, would copyleft be able to "remember" the idea of the code so that if we try to recreate it, would we be able to without modifying the copilot to prevent this?
This is exactly how I feel too.

If reporting the email as spam is quicker than unsubscribing, that's what I do.
Don’t Universalize from Your Own Experiences
Mind giving an example ? The only time I faced this was due to an autoregressive model, which was super easy to delegate to c++.

I've been working with Python for the last year and appreciate how much it helps with general IT problems, but I would still stick to R for statistical/data analysis.

OP does not seem to be "having difficulty". That sounds a bit passive-aggressive, like if OP was a grandma having difficulties with her computer due to age. OP jumped through a lot of hoops and done a solid investigation without much issues. It is clear that it is the system that is having difficulty, or just not doing what it's supposed to do.

(The "sorry" further makes it sound more like talking down. Have you noticed how in a hierarchy the bosses are the ones usually saying "thank you" and "sorry"?)

The correct phrasing is "it is clear to me our system is broken [for you], let me …".

Edited to address the "sorry", it is easy to slip it in without thinking. I'm sure CF rep here did not use that phrasing intentionally either.

I don’t actually think this is where it comes from, necessarily. In my experience, most of this comes from the engineers themselves. Usually business just wants a CRUD app but the engineers want a distributed cloud microservice extravaganza, partly to keep themselves entertained and partly to pad their resumes.

But you don’t get upvotes for saying this on HN.
Only for the easy or tech things though. I was curious if I'll trigger some response about CloudFlare enabling targeted abuse online, but that topic seems untouchable to people doing monitoring.
Yes, airsoft is heavily affected by the wind. Each shot lands in a different place from numerous additional factors, too. They are very different performance-wise compared to guns.
Have been using SPSS decades and I think it is a good statistical tool for those who do not want to do programming much. It gives me something Iu can easily explain to and teacher other statistical users (e.g. hand in many papers with some regression analysis in it and team members who have no programming experience and do NOT want to learn much other than absolutely minimum and necessary; they are social scientists and that is it). I knew R, python, SPSS, SIR/DBMS and most of SAS all can do this. Frankly only SPSS they can use. And I believe they can use it after I am not in the picture anymore still. That is the use case of SPSS. There are more people in that hole than your think.

I recite a pair of lines multiple times until they feel natural. Then I put overlapping quintuples of words into my Spaced Repetition system. So with Ozymandias I read the first section:

I met a traveller from an antique land who said:
"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand ..."

Then into my SR system I put:

I met a traveller from | traveller from an antique land ...
traveller from an antique land | antique land who said: "Two ...

etc. This has worked extremely well for me.

YMMV.

In Las Vegas, always tip the front desk person. When you give them your ID and credit card, also include a $20 bill - or a green chip if you've already started gambling. It's in Las Vegas culture to tip everyone all the time. About half the time, I got a room upgrade that far exceeds the tip while doing this, although that's not really the point.
That could have been expressed more diplomatically, but I think you're right. IMHO, what people should try to understand about new languages first most thoroughly, are its native data types. This is more fundamental than the syntactical constructs.

R's data types are one of its most alien part, and that's why I think if you're coming from another language, chapter 20 of Hadley Wickham's book[1] is the most important one.

Because it's trying to avoid accepting any responsibility for a problem that is quite clearly Cloudflare's intentional doing.

Have a look at the Silence S01 too, they have a quite different and interesting system that solves for more energy: The battery converts itself into a heavy trolley that you can just pull out, roll to any plug, charge it and put back again.

Any short position can lose infinite money, so this argument is equivalent to saying short positions should not exist.

Saying short positions should not exist is equivalent to saying commodities producers should not be able to hedge production risk.

That has wild implications for commodity prices and availability around the world. If that’s your position you should probably state it more directly.
Seems reasonable to hold a company the size of Cloudflare to a higher standard.
So I've been tracking companies that don't honour the unsubscribe link for 10 years. I've found that a few companies per year (out of hundreds I'm tracking) end up emailing me 4-5 years after I unsubscribe, as if a new marketing intern got a copy of the old customer DB from years ago and figured it'd be okay to just spam it.

Aside from my article※ explaining the basics of email aliasing to avoid this sort of thing, a few more suggestions:

You can use a service like Mailinator or Mailnesia for one-time disposable emails, but I actually use it for services that I will use for a limited time, even if I pay for them. Sometimes companies make it hard to delete an account, and others make it impossible. So just generate a very long random email and it'll be unlikely that anyone would collide with it. Then just fill in random or fake data for anything personally identifiable. When it comes time to delete the account, just abandon it rather than jumping through hoops to delete it.

If you need something that is more secure and still trivially easy, I highly recommend AnonAddy. Just make up an email alias (for you_subdomain.anonaddy.com or a domain you point to it) and those emails will get forwarded to an email address you specify. All emails forwarded from AnonAddy have some controls on the top, so if you get spammed with automated email from PMs asking for your feedback you can just delete the alias from the email.

This would not be of use for something like Cloudflare though as it's a critical service, but very useful for less important services that cost between $0-10/mo). If they end up being critical you can just change the address to an alias on your main domain.

Information being withheld during discovery due to privilege still has to be disclosed to the other party as being withheld. It is called a privilege log and is exactly for the purposes of being able to litigate the propriety of said withholding/applicability of whatever privilege.
'originality' often means 'I've never seen anything like that before' but carries the implication of 'no one has ever done that before'.

But if someone takes random musical thing that's been happening for centuries in a folk tradition or something that weird Avant guard artists are doing and turns it into pop culture, that'll often be seen as 'original' in the first sense as it is new to most viewers when it's not original in the second sense.

"Rapper's Delight" by Sugarhill Gang is a good example, it's both original (first hip hop record success) and totally ripped off at the same time, while also being really good.
Validating Routes with TypeScript
Why is Hacker News uniquely such a hotbed for uninformed libertarianism?

1. There were concerns about lead poisoning that were only quelled with testing. I doubt you have knowledge beyond an environmental protection agency, or a crystal ball.
2. As someone else has already said, a break that small for a fire that large is laughable.
3. Fighting this fire put human life at risk.
4. Fighting this fire also used resources that could’ve been allocated elsewhere, or not at all.

Every business operation does not exist in its own vacuum, and you cannot say that concern is illegitimate just because “nothing bad happened”. Again, you did not have a crystal ball then, and you still don’t.
Well, they're better at it than anyone else so far. Especially compared to the captured US regulators that don't do anything at all. Can spam indeed.

>Those who fought attempts to grow the housing capacity of our old neighborhood got what they wanted: all the same old houses, parks and stores. But at the expense of the people who had lived there in the first place by trading them for new arrivals. Population growth does not require displacement when you prioritize making space rather than the aesthetic of buildings.

This was a side effect of untaxing land (e.g. prop 13).

Nobody is going to fight a new development that threatens their home equity more than a newcomer who is up to their eyeballs in mortgage debt. The "aesthetics" of a neighborhood suddenly take on new meaning when you're staring down the barrel of negative equity.

This is also why rent control's effect on inhibiting new building is grossly exaggerated (& may even be negative). Getting rid of it pushes up rents which pushes up house prices which ramps up NIMBYism that inhibits housing development.

The greatest level of home building in New York coincided with the greatest level of rent control.

There is a very clear and identifiable villain in California here for deliberately engineering this situation: Howard Jarvis.

He is now dead but his lobbying lives on under the equally villainous Jon Coupal.
