> Communication gap. First, there was a communication gap between the team that requested the deactivation and the team that ran the deactivation. Instead of providing the IDs of the intended app being marked for deactivation, the team provided the IDs of the entire cloud site where the apps were to be deactivated.

So what they are saying is that they are not testing scripts at some staging server before running them in production. It's wild that they've managed to scale their products so much before something like this happened.

I hope they've learnt their lesson and they set up some QA process for that stuff.

Essentially, most ML algorithms, "learn" from data by condensing the data into a set of parameters.

For example, in linear regression, you might have N observations (x, y) and condense them into 2 parameters for a line that "best fits" the data (y = mx + b).

Instead of linear regression, you can perform "polynomial regression" where you fit a polynomial of some order Q to the data. Since the data you have is often noisy, if Q is large, you will fit a polynomial full of "ups and downs" that goes through the points in the training data exactly, but is not a good representation of what you're trying to learn and will fail miserably on new inputs.

In deep learning, you may also specify a network with "too many parameters". A network is trained in steps, by slowly converging the parameters to the "optimal value" to fit the training data you give it. But if we allow it to converge, it might find parameters that "closely fit" the training data, but are not good for generalization, we would prefer a less optimized model. A classic trick (among others) in neural networks is to do "early stopping" to avoid this overfitting phenomenon.

I'm the messy one ( and the wife ) in our situation and this article has made me think about my relationship.

My takeaway is that I can sit and pout that my partner shouldn't be overreacting to a glass and I can sit and pout and say why should I be the one to change, why can't he change.

Or I can stay married. If I'm going to get caught up in my marriage being 'fair' I'm going to lose. There have to be times when I 'lose' because I give in and he doesn't. I have to trust that there will be times when he 'loses' because he's giving in when I don't.

It's that trust that's important. Not each little niggling fight but a trust that the other person is going to value you over valuing some abstract concept of fair. If I show a willingness to overcome my preferences for his sake, then he's going to be more willing to overcome his preferences for my sake.

It's easy to get stuck on fair but that turns hundreds of little things into battlegrounds.

If I trust that he's a loving caring person than I should be willing to lose. If I don't trust that, then we're already done.
This wasn't the only novel of Huxley's that his acquaintances saw themselves in to their dismay. His Antic Hay has a brilliant scientist. Professor Shearwater, with a wife who cheats on him. Apparently Shearwater was an obvious representation of J.B.S. Haldane, who was not amused.
> The "algorithm", is just another plausible deniability cover for institutionalized discrimination against various minorities and the poor who are least able to fight back.

What makes this extra infuriating is that even before these algorithms were implemented in the Netherlands there were already plenty of people warning us that this would happen if we ever would be so foolish to do so. I can only presume they feel a certain frustrated kinship with climate scientists right now
Is it?

We use JIRA. Not impacted.

If this had hit us.. we would just switch to excel or something for a week/month?

But maybe we are a very light user of JIRA. Nothing in there can't be replaced. It's "nice" to be able to go look up a 3 year old bug and which client reported it, but not really crucial for day to day ops.
One minor issue is diffusion due to clouds, similar to all concentrated solar power systems it needs direct sunlight. Normal solar panels can produce some power even under a thin cloud layer.

did you talk about it afterwards? being "too controlling" is a very serious accusation and points to something deeper. don't just dismiss her complaint but try to understand it. also try to explain to her in what spirit you made the tee for her.

you think you were doing a random nice thing, she felt you are controlling, so clearly she didn't feel you did something nice to her.

this makes me think about the book "the five love languages". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Five_Love_Languages

the idea is that we each have different ways in which we express and perceive love. so for you random acts of kindness are one way, but your wife may not be aware of that. i'd talk to her about that. maybe read the book together or at least talk about the different ways to show love and what you each prefer.
I’m curious what the mechanism for reducing inflation is when taxing the rich?

Here are my assumptions:

1. Inflation is a function of monetary supply, the velocity of money, and available goods.

2. The rich contribute less to the velocity of money (since they tend to save or drive up asset prices) than the poor

The USA are the good guys so I'm happy they have their defensive nukes all around the world.

Also, the one time when they used their nukes offensively that was actually to save lives.
You were talking about the light being gathered by the lens. That is mostly determined by the f-stop. Technically it is the t-stop, but they should be reasonably close together not to make a huge difference. Quite the contrary, as the phone lens has less elements than some modern camera lens designs, the phone might suffer less from the difference than the camera lens.

The aspects you are now referring to are about the lens quality. Yes, I would expect a real camera lens to be much better than the lens of an iPhone. There is no doubt about that. But in the posting I answered to, you spoke about the comparability of aperture values.
You'd need the solar to heat something white hot.
That statement is entirely correct; the US is the only country ever to use nuclear weapons in combat. Everyone else has only ever tested them, or used them as threats/deterrence.

How many times do we have to try this "stronger economic ties will encourage freedom/peace/democracy" theory before we accept that it only serves to enrich those who are already wealthy and doesn't do a thing to preserve peace. It perhaps even does the opposite: becomes a tool of coercion the bad actor can use to manipulate the free economies with which they trade. The free markets get hooked on the cheap $thing provided by the authoritarian government and then we're stuck. Our consumers are fat and happy with the cheap $thing so our politicians look the other way as the evil regime does more and more overtly evil things. Trade makes us more tolerant of the authoritarians' bad behavior. It doesn't encourage the authoritarians to behave better. See, e.g., Russia's sale of natural gas to Europe, China's sale of labor/consumer products to the West, KSA's sale of petrol to the States.

Time and again we do business with evil regimes and pretend it might result in some good. It doesn't. It won't. Let's not keep repeating the same failed experiment.

This is a weird event that it's going to take me a long while to form an opinion on. I just... don't know what to say or think about this. That isn't a thinly veiled condemnation. I genuinely don't know what to think about this but it's clearly something that needs to be evaluated very critically and involves so many things that are so... of their time and place.

You're probably right re: citizenship but this is about language, how could one "hide" being bilingual, especially if we're talking about a young child?

(Even in kindergarten all my daughter's friends are 100% aware that she and I speak a language when we're communicating solely with each other that isn't the language my daughter uses the rest of the time in kindergarten.)

To be clear, that last comment is a joke, I don’t know anyone with a weapon cache, (I just have a friend who got a Garand cause she was into WW2 history and jokes like that “so no one thinks she is a right winger”).

It’s a joke no one on the internet could get, made while drinking coffee and all it could do is derail conversation, I wish I could just edit it out, but of course, HN is written in lisp, it needs to keep such features from the plebians.
Speaking of fun little languages to create as a hobby. After having created several general-purpose languages like this one, I feel like most of such efforts (including mine) are, sadly, very similar to each other, with small variations. There's an urge to create another language for fun, but I wouldn't want to create another variation of the same thing yet again. So I wonder if there's some kind of catalogue of little hobby languages where authors are trying to explore novel, rare ideas, to get inspired by? Ideas like Rust's borrow checker, for example. The efforts I know about are mostly academic (for example, by Microsoft Research). So far my idee fixe lately has been to create a language which natively supports clean/hexagonal architecture/DDD (for example, clean layer separation can be enforced at compile-time, we use a special tool at work), but the lack of languages that explore these ideas makes me wonder why no one came up with it before, and why having monstruous frameworks with a lot of ceremony is the preferred way -- maybe there's already such a language, but it's too obscure to find it somewhere on the internet. A catalog would be useful.

This is the Merkel-Steinmeier system that was applied to Russia. Bring Russia into the fold economically. Ignore its bad actions. Give it access to money, technology, etc. So that it will become economically dependent with us and then it won't want to attack anyone. Surely as Russians become more economically able they will fight against Putin's brutal reign. Well, exactly the opposite happened.

Look at Ukraine today. People are fighting for their lives while Russians slaughter women and children and throw their dead bodies into wells. That's what the Merkel-Steinmeier approach gives you.

Giving a regime like this money makes the regime more powerful, not less.

> Frankly the US should be all over encouraging this activity, but given how stupid they have been for all modern history I can't say I'm surprised they're not.

The US had been warning Germany to stop its dependence on Russian gas for a decade.

The idea that we should trade with these kinds of regimes is very clearly refuted at this point.
I can't believe that they would intermix the data in that way... but if they did, godspeed to them, they're likely still overpromising what can be done in this time frame.

Sorry, you're right. I just figured nobody was reading my post anyway and it was getting long. Obviously I'm not telepathic and don't know dalio knows, but he's a smart dude. I'm sure he looked at real gdp.

It comes down to 'I found a problem that's 40 years out' or whatever #. It's not exciting. There's in fact multiple other huge problems to address first.

Fossil fuel exhaustion, Top soil erosion, End of fertilizers and migration to meat eating, actual climate change thresholds, etc happens sooner. Though obviously none of those are until 10-30 years or so.

It's not that he's blowing his issue out of proportion for $, well maybe he is, but he's saying what has to happen to prevent it and it has to start now. Obviously, education, no deficit spending, and wealth redistribution are his key 3. He's basically parroting Milton Friedman who identified this problem many decades before.

Weapons of mass destruction break his predictions about post-top reality. China will NEVER be able to attack the USA directly. Nukes, bioweapons. Covid lab leak? You think the USA doesn't have something that could easily wipe out asia? We are in a different collapse situation for empires compared to each since QINQ.

Fear of robbery might motivate a locked cash drawer, or no cash accepted at all. But only one person in the store being able to operate the cash drawer? The most generous explanation for this I can think of is the business fears their own employees are thieves, and want to reduce risk by only trusting a small number of them to handle cash.

But this doesn't explain why it's so hard for even the employee with the cash drawer credentials to open the drawer in a timely manner. They go full hackerman on the keyboard, scratching their head and cussing at the computer with utterances about the value of technology that would make the unabomber proud. It seems obvious to me the workflow for opening the cash drawer is inexcusably broken.

The first sentence in the article is "The US sentenced a blockchain researcher to more than five years in prison after he pleaded guilty to conspiring to help North Korea evade sanctions using cryptocurrency."

Asked why what he did wouldn't be protected by freedom of speech, the parent replied "freedom of speech is not absolute ... the guy violated a federal sanction."

I don't understand what you're implying about this thread of conversation - it seems fairly reasonable. The GP asked about freedom of speech - the parent didn't imply this is a freedom of speech issue. They explained why it isn't.
I love this. Yeah, they'll have to allow for off ramps or accept crypto for tax payments.

I say have to as otherwise a rich private currency economy will grow unmolested by tax collectors.

Atlassian's SLA page says, Premium Cloud Products 99.9%

That's 43 minutes of downtime per month.

That works out to, Atlassian can't have any more downtime for the next 14 years. Are SLAs even real?

I'm being slightly facetious. From the page text it's just a threshold after which I think you're entitled to some money back for that month.
Very much this. The Netherlands is essentially a frat house kept afloat by dangerously unregulated immigrant labor, a dwindling number of middle class professionals and tax laws that would be an embarrassment to all but the most unrepentant of tax havens.
I had the same initial thought. Surely a weekslong outage would drive customers away permanently, right?

Nope. From TFA:

> I asked customers if they would offboard Atlassian as a result of the outage. Most of them said they won’t leave the Atlassian stack, as long as they don’t lose data. This is because moving is complex and they don’t see a move would mitigate a risk of a cloud provider going down.

Most doctors have a massive fear of iatrogenic illness. It is understandable - they don't want to be responsible for a problem. So they will allow lots of suffering that cannot be linked to their action. That's the flip side of primum non nocere: suffering is permitted so long as it is not tied to my action.

That's why they opposed cardiac catheterization research and it needed someone who would violate the ethics of the time to invent. Medicine progresses one renegade at a time.

Fortunately, America now has alternatives. We won't suffer for long under the thumb of gatekeepers. The COVID-19 pandemic has moved lots of prescription to online providers who do the bare minimum to diagnose. This has moved power into the hands of patients. For long-tail conditions, this is a superior model to a medical professional.

Since this is necessary to say: I'm not a doctor hater - my parents are both surgeons and almost everyone in the extended family excepting me is in medicine.

EDIT: to vmception, I only said that because there's lots of people who have some sort of grudge against medical professionals for some reason or the other. I don't. I love my family and I'm quite happy in my belief that they're good at it. When I go to a doctor, I usually trust them. Can't reply since rate-limited.

The author could have written a proposal and fixed the problem in half the time it took to write the article. Source: I am a random person who got multiple characters added to Unicode.

Apart from the vantablack heating issues sibling comments have already mentioned, you'd also need to take into account the energy used by the cooling system for the cold end of the TPV. In practice you'd need to pump either water or air past some form of heatsink and the energy consumption of the pumps would reduce the efficiency below that of the 40% of just the TPV.

"...but the food is as bad as ever,"

Right, I suppose the quality of food has always been one significant differentiator between the UK and Continental railways. As mentioned, I haven't been to the UK for some years now but over the many times that I have (I'm actually a UK citizen), I've noticed a steady improvement in the food, especially so in London. Over the years, I've noticed lunchtime and takeaway meals improve out of sight and the number restaurants serving foreign food multiply manyfold (I've found London's Indian restaurants pretty much second to none—reckon Indian must be pretty much considered an endemic food by now).

This begs the question why hasn't the food on UK rail improved. Perhaps we should send the executives responsible not to the Continent but to Japan to see how it should be done: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/japan-train-food.

(I can attest firsthand at the accuracy of that article, the food on Japanese trains is truly excellent. There's only one drawback: if you're going to some obscure destination that you've not been to previously then don't let the food (or anything else) distract you. Whilst stations in big urban centres often have station names in both Japanese and Roman scripts outlying ones often don't. You either remember the hiragana or kanji scrips accurately for the station names or you count the number of stations accurately from where you embarked—or you do both. Luckily, I've never missed a stop but I've had a few narrow escapes.)
Very nicely explained. Also hints at the next big frontier for protein folding: improving the prediction of those disruptive effects.
he's a very volatile player, both in temperament as well as in playstyle. When he plays well, he plays really well but his up and downs are extreme. And if there's one tendency, in particular in modern chess, it's that rock solid consistency is a requirement for pretty much any world champion.

I see Hikaru similar to Ivanchuk (who also peaked at nr. 2 in the world). Brilliant player but rarely the favorite for long chess competitions.
