I appreciate your honesty. That being said I stand by my position. It’s better if no one supports anyone who uses, threatens to use, develop or has used nukes.

Needless to say only a small number of countries fit that criteria.

United States will not be a “good guy” forever.
IIRC the US offers a steep discount on international shipping coming from countries that it has designated "transitional". It's possible that Poland and Romania are on that list: I have highly specialized, custom tools that I bought from a machinist in Romania, and shipping was about $5. Whereas I could be at the US side of Niagara Falls and ship a light package 100 feet to the Canadian side and it would still cost me about $14.

Credit where it's do though, the tools I bought from Romania are amazing, unique, top quality. For some reason there's a few countries in Eastern Europe (Ukraine actually is one of them) where leather crafting has become somewhat popular and there are a few Etsy stores with fantastic items. They don't use the absolute best quality leather, but it's good: orders of magnitude above what you'd find in stores, and the construction is solid

(also leather is an area where price increases near exponentially with quality. Cheap junk like PU leather is maybe $0.25 per square foot in large bulk. Lowest quality real leather is about $1, and is actually still a fine choice for certain type of items if used carefully. Okay leather might run about $5 a sqft, good to very good will be $10, $20, $50, and the absolute best can be $100 to $200 per sqft. Although it's important to know that not all leather is suited to ever task. And sometimes the price:quality ratio is about product consistency. You might pay $20/sqft for a side of leather that has near perfect consistency in thickness and lack of surface defects. Very important if you're making large items, and they have a usable portion of 80 or 90%. But you can also buy miss-split that are uneven thickness and have some surface defects for $3. The usable portion may only be 60%, but if you're making small items you're still getting the same very high quality leather, you just have more scrap left over. You can even find a use for that too: some people really like the "character" that natural imperfections add to an item. Or I use it as practice pieces testing out new designs, no Sorry, more than you probably were looking for on leather detail. But it's HN so I figured there's often people interested in the minutiae of non-tech fields)
The issue with "infinite" is also infinite in time, in the sense that all you're saying is "if we knew the future, we'd be right".

In kNN the model is the historical dataset. (Aside: neural networks are basically kNN+Compression, model=compressed(dataset)).

kNN is therefore, in a sense, a perfect illustration of learning in the ML sense being widely at odds with any standard prior notions of "learning" we might have.

The goal of learning in animals is "mastery of the concepts" which enable one to imagine the ways the world might be, to reason, and likewise, act under novelty.

Learning in the ML sense is the "shortcut", basically, remember everything and have an index on-hand. This is an incredibly brittle strategy, as anything worth learning in-the-usual-sense has no near-identical-cases to consult.

if kNN = "k + data", then kNN tends towards perfect, as `data` tends towards "we already have the answer" and `k` tends towards `1`.

This is a general scheme for ML. If the `data` isnt already the solution, `ML` is useless.
Wikipedia indicates the melting point of vantablack being 3000C. I would think a black coloring is pretty heat resistant. It looks like it needs to be 500-750C to create it as well

Yep. The vast majority of users don't follow these outages (aka don't browse forums like Hacker News or r/sysadmin), and thus aren't aware of them.

Many of these users are decision-makers who decide what tools to use, and will continue to use Atlassian out of inertia due to lots of existing documentation on the tool (this is compounded by not knowing about the outages, or not knowing the severity of the outages), and also because large, professional companies use their tools too.

I don't necessarily agree with the perspective to stay with it, but it uses a lot of political capital/innovation tokens/goodwill/etc. to change systems, when there are usually higher-priority things to do (than to get buy-in to switch).
Traditional thermocouples have abysmal efficiency. 5% is about the best you can hope for. This device claims to be 8x as efficient.
Because linux has failed almost entirely to meet user level threats. Unlike android - which has per app permissions file permissions, linux is not there yet.

I know a lot of people are interested in better incapsulation for specific programs, and I know there's a lot of work being done in the area, but it's nowhere near as effective, in my opinion, as android and other systems.

linux follows the unix philosophy on this sort of. OK, you're a user, with some shell script, maybe git, maybe bash and it's PS1, I don't care, all I see as a kernel is that, you have permissions to edit this, upload this, send a packet, whatever, have fun!

From that perspective, nothing is wrong. That was my point. You could download s script that does 'rm / -Rf' and there's no security issue. User are given access to do as they please with files.

The issue is users can no longer reasonably trust the software on their system, from home-dialing marketing information and tracking, to having all sorts security issues in their virtual machines and sandboxes, running random code from websites constantly, we need a better way to encapsulate per file, per folder, per camera, per whatever, permissions, implemented at a system level.
Pretty good rundown here: https://www.thedailybeast.com/crypto-enthusiast-virgil-griff...

According to his lawyers, after his North Korean speaking engagement, Griffith actually went straight to the U.S. embassy in Singapore, where he was residing at the time, to tell them all about the experience. He also chose to meet with the FBI in Puerto Rico and San Francisco.

But after extensive talks, the feds instead surprised the technologist by arresting him at Los Angeles International Airport on Thanksgiving Day 2019, while Griffith was boarding a flight to Baltimore to spend the holiday with his parents and sister.

He was indicted months later on a single count of violating presidential executive orders aimed at blocking North Korea from the international banking system as punishment for its repeated threats to nuke the United States.

The arrest immediately generated criticism, as the exceedingly eccentric and devoted community of cryptocurrency enthusiasts cast the prosecution as a crackdown on free speech.

Meanwhile, the federal government played right into that by shrouding the case in secrecy. So many court files were kept sealed that journalist Matthew Russell Lee, who runs the publication Inner City Press, asked the judge to reconsider in a letter that noted, “The sealings and withholding here are unacceptable, and go beyond those requested even in the Central Intelligence Agency trial” of accused Wikileaks leaker Joshua Adam Schulte.

As the case proceeded, Griffith’s attorneys maintained that his travel was “a goodwill speaking trip.”

During his chats with FBI agents, Griffith came clean and offered to help the feds explore his North Korean contacts and activities, according to a source close to Griffith. This source described at length Griffith’s willingness to cooperate with the American intelligence agencies and the potential to become something of a spy asset. Those hopes were dashed when the Justice Department came down hard on him.
More efficient by an order of magnitude or so.
From Coindesk:

> Judge Castel read a series of text messages and emails from Griffith in which the defendant admits to sharing information with North Korea for the express purpose of helping the repressive Kim regime evade sanctions.

This might come as a shock, but compromise isn't simply "doing what she wants you to do, when she wants you to do it." That's not a relationship.

This wasn't a pile of dirty dishes. It was a drinking glass that was going to be reused. Maybe she comes from an upper-middle to upper class household where everything got put away at all times, but where I come from, you don't waste dishwater on something you're going to reuse anyway.

It's one thing if they pile up. It's quite another if there's a cup or two on the counter that you are using.

It is absurd to think that a government (armed group with a pretense of authority) can restrict your freedom of movement like this justifiably. Your individual sovereignty and agency is violated.

I have a pet hypothesis that "curing" depression is an active endeavor, instead of a passive one. Just like being healthy in general requires at least a moderate regard to nutrition and exercising. No amount of medicine can replace those.

From anecdotal reports, it seems that mushrooms forces one into an active thought space (like dropping someone of at the gym with a program for them to follow), such that one is more likely to engage with ones own thoughts, and is capable of interpreting them, recasting them, accepting or letting them go.

The idea of "rewiring" seems a bit too far, since rewiring cannot be achieved instantly.
That is lovely…very healthy. The most important words in a relationship are: ‘thank you’ and ‘sorry’…and they should be heartfelt and mentioned appropriately.
I would really like to understand who makes the decision to purchase JIRA. It's like the C++ of ticketing software--it does everything because no one wanted to sit down and think critically about the use cases and instead decided it would be easier to say "yes" to every single feature request. It definitely feels like whoever is buying JIRA is not on the team who is using it (maybe IT or finance) because it ticks their boxes and it has such a huge list of features that nominally it appears to tick the product development boxes (ignoring more subjective concerns like "quality", "performance", and "usability").

I would really like to try working in an organization that uses something simpler, like Trello (although now that this is also an Atlassian property, maybe not exactly Trello?).
One app I used quite often on the Pebble is a TOTP app, where I could retrieve my code from anywhere, even if I forgot my phone that day. Since the battery life was awesome, it was comforting knowing I wouldn't get locked out of my stuff easily.

I also used an app to see a camera preview from my phone and as a remote shutter, I also relied on NavMe to see the Google Maps direction while walking or while riding a bike.

Another app I was using was to send HTTP requests to toggle some of my IoT stuff, that was quite handy too.

IIRC the quick replies could be entirely customized, and I found myself using them quite often.

>"The outage is its 9th day, having started on Monday, 4th of April."
>"It took until Day 9 for executives at the company to acknowledge the outage."

Just to put this in perspective. These executives would have left on a Friday afternoon to start their weekends without bothering to publicly address an ongoing outage that was by then 5 days old.

This is mind boggling. Like did some C-level exec say something like "Let's just park this whole outage communication discussion until Monday, have a good weekend everyone."?
Right? The way this reads it seems like one person set a flag incorrectly, something I'm sure we've all done numerous times. And there were no checks down the line to catch it.
The key is to find someone who is actually attracted to you. Not in a "oh I guess I can tolerate kissing you" type of way, but in a "I often fantasize about touching your body" type of way.

Mutual sexual attraction makes it possible to develop that type of relationship, but a lot of the time men in particular settle for less.

I strongly encourage anyone who doesn't have that type of relationship and wants one to break things off. Even if there's only a 25% chance you think you could find someone like that, it's worth it: it makes everything nearly effortless, and the relationship becomes filled with joy and not drudgery.
Actually Hikaru would be (as of today) 6/8 among the Candidates in classical ELO, as the world #11 in live ratings. If anything, Hikaru is probably underrated; he gained around 20 ELO points in the two Grand Prix legs. Like the OP, I'll disclaim being a Hikaru apologist; but he is world #1 in blitz and world #2 (briefly #1 this year) in rapid rating, which is why, for example, http://universalrating.com/ratings.php has him as world #2 in general playing strength. If a game gets into time trouble in the Candidates, he's the favorite against any of the competition. It seems his strategy is just to survive the openings and then try to outplay or flag people later on, which is a surprisingly viable strategy.
There are financial criteria, or professional criteria to reach accredited investor status. In particular, any investment professional that has passed the Series 7 exam (or a few others) is an accredited investor.

That regulation seems sensible to me, and not overzealous.

A "low cost of entry" for creating new content ignores the "high cost of entry" to distribute it. To actually get eyeballs/ears, new media must somehow get noticed. That used to be done through the sponsorship of mainstream outlets like movie theaters, AM/FM radio and TV stations, etc. But the revenue of all of these has diminished greatly since the birth of WWW, making it ever harder to monetize new content, especially if its small niche isn't recognizable and thus promotable by moneyed distributors and advertisers. Successful art needs access to eyeballs, and before that can happen, it needs nontrivial promotion. While studio time may be dirt cheap today, it's the distribution that continues to be the rate limiter in selling your masterwork and making a living doing it.

California Lawyer Quits over Allegation Newsom Meddled in Activision Case
That depends whether you think leaving a glass by the sink is a cut at all.

In that case there’s two options:

1. The author is not mentioning more consequential problems that happened in their marriage, or doesn’t know the real reason their marriage ended.

2. There were no more consequential problems and the author is blaming themselves for what seems like an unreasonable spouse.
That for sure. Especially as all the Ukraine resistance fighters would find open borders to e.g. Poland across which they could resupply easily.

However you look at it, this war cannot have a positive outcome for Russia, unless just laying Ukraine to waste is enough for them. This is my greatest fear that complete destruction would be a success for Putin and he would be willing to go all the way to achieve it. Like using nukes.

My big hope though is, especially after withdrawing from quite a lot of regions of the Ukraine already occupied, that after all the losses, the Ukraine together with the supply from the west might be able to hold new offenses from the east and perhaps even push them back. That depends a lot of how many reserves Russia still has and which further weapons they are willing to use.
What you suggested is more similar to what Solar Thermal systems do (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy). They are known to be more efficient than solar photovoltaics. They have their own downsides of course.
I suppose that’s why you don’t combine a tazer and gun into 1 device with 2 triggers.
It's the ultimate place any honest monetary cipherpunk ends up at. Either you have government controlled financial systems, or you have decentralized financial systems.

Getting to any middleground is pretty tortured, both technically and morally.

Sort of like "Strong encryption permits a world in which child pornography cannot be tracked" with respect to encryption. It's ugly, but true.

What piqued my interest is that why don't the NK held the conference in place like CN, HK or Macau? Pretty sure they can hook up more talents with much lower risk.

Immediately reminded me of: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Frampton

But in my limited understanding, this seems much more malicious and I’m less inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.
It sounds to me like your wife's reaction was not actually about the tea.

If she described that as "too controlling", that likely indicates she perceives you as too controlling overall.

Regardless of the truth of her perceptions, they're all she has to go on in life, so it's her perceptions that matter, not the "objective truth" of whether you're controlling.

I don't know you or your wife at all - my analysis could be way off in a lot of ways.

Whatever the issue here is, though, it's not the tea itself. There is some negative perception or idea she has that you triggered when you helped make her tea. I strongly recommend you try to figure out what's beneath the surface there. It could be rooted in your behaviors, or it might go back to how other people in her life have treated her, or some combination. It could be that she's a flaming control freak who can't stand anyone doing anything that seems to her like a threat to her agency. I don't have enough context to have much of a clue.

Writing it off with "Okay, not gonna do that again" internally was a dangerous pattern for me - it led me to ignore issues for years instead of trying to deal with them head-on.

Warning: For me, dealing with these issues head-on was a painful, difficult road littered with ugly realizations about both myself and my spouse. Dealing with the pain and issues now beats waiting until they're worse down the road, though.

This is too broad a statement to support with evidence. This study was specifically about treatment-resistant chronic depression and the measured effects on the brain.
Facebook/Meta is dead on arrival. No-one trusts them.
GothamChess's friend Eric Rosen is also very good. (Actually I think he may have won their latest match.) I really like his unshakable calm attitude - even when scrambling with 5s left on the clock he still finds time to make informative little comments.
technically speaking, tree algorithms such as decision trees and gradient boosting are special cases of knn. Items in a leaf are within the same 'distance' from each other.
This reminds me, my friend and I were the only people we knew who'd even used the internet in the late 90s so no one was around to correct us, and 3 of the apparently incorrect pronounciations we had agreed on were:

- war-ehz

- gee-aw-cit-eez

- jif
It was also driven by easy fed dollars and banks that knew they'd be bailed out.

Thanks for the laugh! So true.
According to the original complaint, a few months after being interviewed by an FBI agent on returning from his trip to North Korea, Griffith had the following conversation over text messages:

Griffith: I need to send 1 [REDACTED UNIT OF CRYPTOCURRENCY] between North and South Korea.
Other Guy: "Isn't that in violations of sanctions?"
Griffith: It is.

A few day later, also in text messages to someone else:

Someone: What interest does North Korea have in cryptocurrency?
Griffith: Probably avoiding sanctions... who knows."

It looks like it wasn't just speaking at a conference after being denied permission from the US that got him in trouble, it looks like both before and after the trip he was working on a variety of ways to get the North Korean government more onboard with cryptocurrency, including discussions about mining ventures, moving funds in and out of the country, and offering connections with other cryptocurrency people.

I just want to point out the irony in falling back to good old centralized fintech companies to actually use the supposedly decentralized currency.

Sorry, I know, off-topic.
This would be a heck of a lot of waste heat to deal with. You could probably boil water with the leftover energy to turn a steam turbine to power the cooling apparatus. A dual stage solar plant.
I believe I have seen it used as a symbol which indicates the discharge of an assumption, but never for "not".
While this is far away from being a production device it's pretty exciting to see 40% efficiency.

How would you go about converting the energy stored in a thermal battery to a high enough temp for this to work? Some kind of heat pump? It has never been clear to me how to concentrate heat like that.
Not just that - high end speakers are heavy because of the need to use thick, stiff and dense materials to eliminate resonance.
Sorry, I'm not actually sure... maybe someone who's experienced in backend db can elucidate here.

Is it not a good idea to spin up separate db instances for each client/company?
“horrendous monolithic architecture “

I don’t really understand what this has to do with “monolithic” or not.

Atlassian’s software is probably very complex and convoluted but from my experience it’s almost impossible to keep a clean architecture in a software system that has grown over many years and is used and customized by many customers so you have to avoid breaking backwards compatibility.
If you want to make a statement like that, then logarithms might not be the zeroth power, but the epsilonth power, where ε is an “infinitesimal”.

Bear with me here, I know infinitesimal math isn’t a fully coherent thing. But there’s a reason why Newton used it, it sometimes works surprisingly well to make intuitive analogies. Maybe there’s a way to make it work here.

For example: The function ln(x) grows strictly slower than x^a for any positive real a, but faster than x^0. Hence, it’s x^ε, where 0 < ε < a for any positive real a.
> what about the second statement from wikipedia's principles: it is not a soapbox. It would be interesting to put banks to a vote with the same kind of arguments as well

Let me just put this this way: you are interpreting the text wrong, and repeatedly circling back to your wrong interpretation won't make it right. Pithy texts usually don't impart a full, correct understanding when read in isolation.

It's
