Hmm, it sounds like there is some part of your offering that I was overlooking as I failed to see how that would happen.

Perhaps that is something that should be addressed, regardless of what you decide on KYC/credit cards/cryptocurrencies/etc?

Random thoughts after a little closer look, may or may not be relevant:

I see now that you host mailu/mailcow. If you give customers an e-mail address under a (sub-) domain of yours - stop that. Make customers bring their own domain, even for a trial. Or keep outgoing public SMTP out of the trial; even they do not use your domain, you probably don't want to risk polluting IP space reputation. If you still really want to let them try it and want to spend some time on it, you could spend some time restricting outgoing mail to a whitelisted email address (not domain) per account.

If you're also referring to hosting scam websites and you don't want to require trials to bring their own domain, consider making the subdomain you provide autogenerated, long, unattractive, and verbose.

If you haven't addressed all of the above, it should hopefully improve things.

For ddos/hosting illegal content, there is no shortage of places where people can get VMs and VPSes with connectivity, storage and compute for reasonable prices in various jurisdiction anonymously just a quick web search away - so even for those who don't know where they can get it for way cheaper underground, I'd assume that criminals wouldn't have a reason to burn even close to that much money for such things?

Good question!

So the way this was designed, is so that the unit (answer) cost is fairly cheap (below the dollar), so that volume is incentivized.

In turn, the payout amount which is a fraction of that per unit cost was calculated to be an attractive enough figure. Such that if you don’t do this ala Mechanical Turk you get some decent extra cash out of it and if you do get very involved you can even make a salary out of it.

However, there is a dynamic algorithm that takes into account several factors primarily consistency on the quality of the answers that directly impacts each users final compensation.

Thus promoting a virtuous cycle of better content.

Thanks so much for asking and hope this makes sense!

The advantages of male puberty and the Y chromosome extend far beyond testosterone.

It's also irrelevant how much testosterone a person produces today. You can reduce the testosterone levels of a Michael Phelps type to female levels (though it would ruin his health), yet he would retain insurmountable advantages over every woman who has ever been born on this planet.
Yeah, communication is key - no doubt it would have been a different story if she got a voice-mail from her doctor's office saying "We found a suspicious lump in your mammogram, we're going to need you to come in for a followup tomorrow". She probably would have had a sleepless night wondering how serious it was.
It’s a question of how he can handle complexity.
Is he organized. Is he able to focus on one thing at a time. Is he willing to read books, and do coding alongside the reading. If you can answer yesterday, age does not matter.
yeah, I guess you'd start with the first 13/last 13 and break it down in halves from there. It would take only 6 choices to pick a letter. I still think memorizing the binary version of the letters would be faster, and wouldn't take all that long considering the amount of use.
>Given that we cannot say what intelligence is better than "its what intelligent people do", I'd say we were far from the "whole story".

I'm not opposed to this, and I doubt most people would be either. Take college admissions as an example. A low-SAT, low-GPA student in a one-on-one interview with an admissions officer could dazzle the interviewer to such a level that admission with a scholarship could be guaranteed.

We don't do that often for a variety of reasons, but one would certainly be because of the quasi-legal requirement to tick certain boxes to avoid trouble. Okay, but that has costs. We've been able to paper over a lot of this with economic good times, but that's unlikely to last forever. Hard reality always wins in the end.

military time is spoken in hundreds and doesn't use colon, while regular 24hr time is spoken in dozens and use colon

Military
1400 - fourteen hundred
1430 - fourteen hundred thirty

Standard 24h
14:00 - fourteen hours
14:30 - fourteen thirty

But I am not native English speaker and this is only my understanding from what I observed about military time vs 24 hours time and I may be wrong, someone please correct me.
Because it pushes us to treat cases where we expect a good outcome preferentially, i.e. biases the case mix towards easy patients and increases inequalities in access to healthcare.

> For example, Seattle needs 10x more housing than it has today, and in 10 years it'll need 100x more housing than it has today.

Seattle has about 740k people and about 370k housing units. 10 times the housing units would be enough for the entire state population at an average occupancy of 2 persons/unit. 100 times would be enough for roughly every US state bordering on or one state out from the Pacific Ocean.

Seattle pretty emphatically does not need that much housing.

One problem with heavily using sports, gaming, and war analogies to talk about strategy is that the discussion starts to make no sense at all to people who aren't interested in those things but who do care about strategy.

But I guess if you're the Modern War Institute at West Point, you know your audience pretty well, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you read the status pages you'll see GH actions is under scheduled maintenance from 12 to 1630.
We don't have a QA team; we have an internal team that uses our product to do their work. It's part QA, part product development, part marketing; they help us prioritize feature work, they write blog posts about the cool stuff they can do with our product, and when bugs surface, they find them, because it's all part of their workflow.

This doesn't work for all companies; if you're building a system for children to learn how to type, you can't really hire a bunch of children to learn how to type... but I think for most companies, this can and does work.
> Now I use esbuild instead of tsc, and I have the best of both worlds.

I'm interested in this. I know esbuild can compile TypeScript to JS, but that it doesn't serve as an actual typechecker. Without tsc as a dev dependency, do you just rely on your IDE's intellisense to tell you when there's a type error?

Working from home is great and all, but do we really want work to be within our home? I’ve been working from home the entire pandemic, and I still find it hard to stop working and “be home.”
After reading a little bit of his work, I couldn't really make my mind up about Fisher. Some passages feel pretty clear headed a satisfying to read.

“There are certainly conspiracies in capitalism, but the problem is that they are themselves only possible because of deeper level structures that allow them to function. Does anyone really think, for instance, that things would improve if we replaced the whole managerial and banking class with a whole new set of ('better') people? Surely, on the contrary, it is evident that the vices are engendered by the structure, and that while the structure remains, the vices will reproduce themselves.”

But then at other times, he seems fall into the same traps that makes me hate a lot of postmodern(or whatever this is) writing.

-Constant references to other writers, only to use their polysyllabic neologisms 2-3 times without any explanation. I wouldn't mind this so much but this book usually sold as a good starting point.

-Defining things with grandiose, nearly contradictory analogies.

-A deep pessimism, sometimes I feel I'm reading some kind of anti-Pangloss.

"This makes
capitalism very much like the Thing in John Carpenter's film of
the same name: a monstrous, infinitely plastic entity, capable of
metabolizing and absorbing anything with which it comes into
contact. Capital, Deleuze and Guattari says, is a 'motley painting
of everything that ever was'; a strange hybrid of the ultra-modern
and the archaic. In the years since Deleuze and Guattari wrote the
two volumes of their Capitalism And Schizophrenia, it has seemed
as if the deterritorializing impulses of capitalism have been
confined to finance, leaving culture presided over by the forces of
reterritorialization."

It makes me frustrated, because I feel like Fisher really does have a lot of interesting things to say. But the only time I can bring myself to hate the state of world this much is if I spend too much time on twitter or in mandatory HR trainings.
I had the same thought but just tested with a fairly standard "premium" plastic cube (not Rubick's brand) and I think it works in the same way. There are springs and that allows assembly/disassembly and I think it would work with a less flexible material. Not sure if the Rubick's brand ones are the same or if they really do rely on flexible plastic.
Fun fact: code page 437 didn't die with DOS. It's still what receipt printers default to, judging by all the mojibake variations on ”Tack för besöket, välkommen åter!” I've seen in daily life in Sweden.
Making better tools that will detect and manage downvote bombing and hate should be fairly simple if Youtube could be bothered by any of it.

Removing the absolutely needed and valid functionality that is normally used to signal the quality of the content, and save viewers' time, for all users and all cases, should not be the justified sacrifice, just in order to mitigate one bad way to use it.
I bet this is normal procedure for most companies that do business in countries where bribes are common. In Germany foreign bribes used to be even deductible.
I'm not Italian, but my impression from traveling in Italy is that every town\village\grandma has their own version of nearly every Italian dish and they all consider theirs to be the traditional version. I think I got told three or four times that I was in the village where focaccia was invented - different villages, that is. And they were all quite different focaccias so I guess they were all right.

Side note: bechamel lasagne is usually called lasagne al forno and I think it comes from Bologna. In many other parts of Italy they don't use bechamel in their traditional lasagnes, and they often do use ricotta and mozzarella.
Hi! So I'm almost your dad's age, and I totally get his desire not to become irrelevant to the world of work, especially after such an impressive career. I satisfied that desire by diving deep into Web3, and mounting a project to sell NFTs of Nirvana from images I had shot in 1991. (Yes, the band members + Frances Bean Cobain were on board, as long as I donated half the proceeds to charity, but their lawyers didn't want me to involve them publicly.) I joined some DAOs and am having fun hanging out in Web3 communities. This is a way that you can have a hobby that feels as satisfying as an impressive career, since the Web3 space is so wide open, and there's so many ways to make a meaningful contribution. Another thing your dad can do (without making a years-long commitment to learn programming) is to get a certificate in cybersecurity. My husband is in cybersecurity, and though some of it is technical, most of the work is really about governance, something your Dad is obviously good at. Typically when there's a lapse in cybersecurity, it's due to a failure of good governance at the company. There is a huge need right now for those who understand traditional industry AND cybersecurity, and your dad might be able to get involved in the fight to shore up our nation's infrastructure against the (probably) coming Russian incursions. Good luck to him. I get his feeling of casting about and being lost because younger people are getting all the interesting jobs.
Having been through the decision process in the past for whether to go when centralized QA, dedicated QA on teams, or automated testing as an engineering responsibility, I came away with the personal opinion that the quality of automated test frameworks has improved so drastically in the past five years or so that we really are in a different place than we were when concept of dedicated QA teams was invented long ago. Large scale software engineering is a human coordination problem (see Conway's Law and the Mythical Man Month), and the time required for engineers to write tests after already understanding the requirements is small compared to the time required for the organization to have someone else try to separately understand the same information and separately write the test. That didn't use to be the case, but today it is. I get not wanting to take time to write tests, just as I get not wanting to take time to document your code, but that's not a good enough reason for introducing the inefficiencies of having someone else try to do something that is best described as your own job (again, the economics used to be different because writing tests used to be slow and inefficient, but that is changing/has changed).

I will say however that I think you do generally still need a team (or individual at smaller shops) dedicated to tooling for automated testing to make the process of writing tests efficient for all those who are writing tests.
OSH Park has slower turn-around but ships from Portland area, so may get to you faster. It's not cheap for big boards, but if your board is small, it's ok. Also, all their boards are ENIG (JLCPCB has ENIG but as an option).

LPKF is the premium brand for in-house PCB prototyping systems. They even have ones that can do vias. However, they're probably more for industry than home. Not sure where you live, but I think there's a makerspace in the Seattle area that has one.

I saw a few screenshots of GTK4 apps, it looked nice. But today tried a simple one, as like the author, I was disappointed.
Well, for starters, I'd love to count myself as a "future generation" but statistically speaking I'm older than most people in our field by a good margin.

More importantly, only about 10% of my job time is spent doing work that is hands-on technical work. I'd say probably 1% of that total time is spent doing notebooks with dataframes. Whether I am competent or not is in no way determined by whether I can memorize the syntax to how to group by and count a dataframe. In fact I'd argue it's probably a poor use of time.

Whether memorizing things like syntax is part of competence or not is highly dependent on context. The ROI of me memorizing that specific syntax would probably be highly negative.

I'd fathom there are countless examples like that. There are people who only rarely need to code. There are people who code a lot but only rarely need to use a certain library or language. For people like that, making the code more accessible is a huge win (that includes IDEs, auto-complete or easy links to documentation, and things like Copilot).
What's interesting to me is that the three big criteria tests are rated on don't take this into account at all.

In a population of 1,000,000:

TP=99

TN=989901

FP=9999

FN=1

Accuracy = TN + TP / (TP+TN+FP+FN) = 99%

Sensitivity = TP / (TP + FN ) = 99%

Specificity = TN / (TN + FP ) = 99%

Looks like a great test across the board!

However, the actual chance someone with a positive test result has the disease:

TP / ( TP + FP ) = ~1%

So why isn't this ratio part of the major test criteria?

This is a fun idea, but I've read thermal paper is surprisingly nasty stuff. [Edit: unless it's advertised as "phenol-free".] It's not just paper. It contains plastics (BPA or BPS) that you absorb through your skin when handling it. I'd avoid working with receipts at my desk all day. (I'd also avoid being a grocery store cashier...)

Welding, auto repair (though the barrier to entry is tools), HVAC, electrician, plumbing, etc.

College as a "necessary tool" to get work is seriously broken. I've considered hanging up my "programming" hat and becoming a fabricator (welder, machinist, etc). Not because of the money, but because I know 1) I could make a decent wage and 2) I would enjoy the work more.
I would say at that level of acceptance it isn’t a bribe.
The biggest performance eye opener for me was when I opened outlook.office.com. On M1 its almost instantaneous where on my old mac (maxed MBP 2015 & Mojave OS) or Ubuntu Desktop machine (32GB RAM & i7 6700) it took 10 seconds or more (all done on the same network).

I noticed I fell out of the "flow" a lot less on M1, because actions that took a few seconds on other machines are now instantaneous.

Regarding the Intellij Idea and Docker, my old 16GB MBP 2015 Mojave was struggling hard and getting very hot with 100K LoC project. I would definitely use the Gateway on old machine aswell.
Isn't the conclusion trivial?
With perfect price discrimination, every buyer exposes their exact utility gain from buying the product, that's the price they'll pay for it. Of course the resource will be allocated optimally.

Naturally in this situation only the seller will benefit from the transaction. Everyone else is +-0. Utility/"welfare" is maximized but consumers get none of it.

And of course, in the end even talking about utility assumes the price someone is willing to pay reflects their utility gain. This is the most fundamental assumption in economics, but it's pretty clear that in the real world this is not the case. Especially for luxury goods such as air travel.
You misunderstood the scenario: 10,000 people would receive a test. Out of those, ~100 would be expected to test positive. Only those ~100 people would receive a second test.

Thus, the population for tests 1..10,000 is different than the population for tests 10,001..10,100.

> mistaking western legalism for a universal ethos.

If our laws aren't reflecting a "universal ethos," then it seems to me we need to change our own laws. If, on the other hand, our laws are tuned to reflect our judgment that bribery is universally ethically and economically problematic for a multitude of defensible reasons (regardless of whether it's a common practice elsewhere), then perhaps we are doing the right thing.

Sometimes theory and practice come into conflict. Persuading others to adopt our policies, which we believe to be grounded in universally applicable ethics, through economic pressure is the best thing we know how to do that doesn't involve going to war.
Yep! I'm the same way -- it comes from a love of simplicity and an affair I had with Lua, which I find marvelously simple and inspirational.
What I don't understand about the trans-in-sports issue is why there is never any discussion of transgender men (ie people born female who take testosterone and transition to male). Everything I have ever read suggests that there are just as many trans men as trans women, if not more, and yet trans male athletes seem rarely mentioned.

There was an interesting case in Texas that did involve a trans male wrestler [1]. Because of restrictions imposed by the state of Texas, high school athletes must compete with their birth sex. The wrestler in question takes testosterone, which naturally gives him a huge advantage over the women against he competes against, leading him to consecutive victories at the state championships. According to news coverage of the championships, he was booed after his victory, and a lawsuit was filed to try and stop him from competing at all.

And yet, if you believe that anyone with two X chromosomes is a woman, these victories were the correct outcome: the championship was a competition between two women. Sure, the hormones he takes give him an advantage, but they were prescribed by a doctor for a medical condition (gender dysphoria). If a women was very tall, a result of her biology (in other words, a medical condition), no one would object when she made the basketball team.

What if we generalize his case to more elite athletes? If you have a problem with a muscular, bearded, man with a military haircut demolishing cisgender women in high level competitions, then you do not agree that people with two X chromosomes should always compete, because this is what many trans men look like.

A more logical position might be that anyone with elevated testosterone shouldn't compete with women, but then we have another problem, trans women often have lower testosterone than cis women [2]. So, if you object to cases like Lia Thomas's, which I totally agree seems unfair from the media coverage, then this won't work either.

It seems like the solution is pretty simple: in adult athletic competitions there should be two categories, women and "open". Women is for people with two X chromosomes and testosterone in the female range, while open is for everyone else. There is one last difficulty, though. Androgens are one of the most potent athletic performance enhancers that we know of. So, if you sample elite female athletes it is almost guaranteed that many of them have higher than average testosterone. Some may even be intersex without realizing it. They would all have to compete with men, which would be awkward for them, and likely make them less competitive. But hey, if you think that a trans man with a beard demolishing high school girls in wrestling is unfair, then you ought to think that female athletes with high testosterone is also unfair, even when those athletes have had long careers winning against other women [3].

It bears no relation to the risk of revenue loss for the airline. It is based on demand. An airline runs hundreds of flights a day, and it knows that a certain percentage are going to be less than full. It tries to optimize as best it can. You on the other hand are going to be seriously annoyed if you have to change your plans and you lose hundreds of dollars, maybe a significant proportion of the money you have for your trip. They are going to charge you based on the price you're willing to pay for peace of mind, far lower than the cost to them. After all, most people do use the plane tickets they have booked.

The solution is to self-insure by having $1000, or whatever, ready for if you need it for increased travel costs or other emergencies. And try to avoid feeling either anger or regret if you have to change your plans. If you don't have a spare few hundred bucks then this method isn't available to you.
