This response is so single-dimensional that I couldn't have done a better job at exposing the extremity of your position than you've done yourself. It is also so predictable and unimaginative that it could have been written by a bot. Is there a textbook with these platitudes?

The rhetoric bundle is also impressive. First, denial. "Are we the baddies? No, it cannot be!". Realizing that you are complicit in suffering of others is unpleasant, isn't it? A non-constructive dismissal with a sprinkle of insult, a lot of projection plus canonical victim-blaming with a hint of ad-hominem. All in one bottle - what a bouquet! "Fuck you - I've got mine" - a cherry on top. "You harmed yourself by not being able to cope" - what is it, standup comedy? I suspect it as dead serious as people claiming "Ukrainians are bombing themselves". Because! We! Are! Good! We! Are! Caring! - how dare you to suggest that we may be harming you! How dare you!

You see, two can play this game!

I see, as time and again, that the original engagement was a mistake. The division is now complete, the arguments are futile, the heels are dug in and nothing could sway anyone. As a bear of very little brain, further arguments in the demonstrated spirit will only make me slip further towards the darkness of losing the remains of faith in humanity. Today was a better-ish day, so I won't make this mistake, if only for the sake of staying sane.

I can only add my "Q.E.D." under your response. Hopefully some people visiting this dark corner of HN will be able to see for themselves.

I am certainly don't need your pity, and neither my family. We'll find a way, despite the world efforts to sink us, enthusiastically supported by you. However, on the eve of Good Friday I may extend my forgiveness to you. God bless!

Thanks for the tip, though they're two different systems: the credit score thing blocks a credit card which blocks various online and offline (mainly international) payments; the IBAN is more used for domestic payments and I expect Hungarian will be as often accepted as my Dutch IBAN. Maybe even less because NL presumably has less fraud and is geographically closer (NL is 15 minutes driving from where I live, which makes it even more mind-blowing that their regular bank cards are not accepted here).

I've got a credit card in the meantime via my partner who is German, but that means that the money on it isn't only mine so I avoid using it for things that aren't shared expenses in the first place.
Alternativeto is quite good in my experience.

There are two things going on here simultaneously:

1. 'Mainstream' culture - what you hear on the radio or in gyms, see in cinemas, etc. - is getting increasingly homogeneous as it has to cater to the lowest global denominator. This is both because of greater global reach, and because:

2. "Non-mainstream" culture - stuff you have to explicitly look for, and will have relatively small audiences - is doing great. In the sense that there are tons of content out there for all tastes, you can easily access it, but BECAUSE there is something out there for everyone, mostly it has very small market shares and will remain that way.

So there is both consolidation of mainstream and fragmentation of non-mainstream that reinforce each other. The problem is, it makes mainstream stuff worse, more bland (has to appeal to lowest common denominator), and it makes non-mainstream stuff appear niche and unpopular (because each individual niche is unpopular).

As an example - amazing new music being released in the NewRetroWave genre. But you'll never hear it unless you look for it, while 'mainstream' music in the charts is junk. That leads to the feelings of alienation, that today's culture is worse etc. - and it is true. Because of the small reach, you will never hear a retrowave band playing live in an expensive arena with top quality sound engineers. If you are into that kind of music, you will never feel a part of a generation that is into it, because everyone in this generation is into their own niche thing.
Huh. A quick discrimination filter is to ask people what the parameter of a function is, and another is to ask about the return value of some pseudocode.

Makes sense, but wouldn't have thought of those cases myself.

I like the use of timed questions ("choose the answer that best fits the definition of a recursive function") as well.
before crypto there was a market phenomenon that I personally have no knowledge of but an acquaintance at a big bank which facilitated a lot of FX trading was very happy at one point that he was sent to Japan, where retail FX trading had become a huge fad, like crypto now. He was a prop trader for the bank and made a lot of his money going against retail traders. Presumably it was exploiting information asymmetries, partly, but probably also just simply harvesting fees and spreads.

Considering the state of our tooling, where documentation frequently does not show up without extensive config or is not soft-wrapped in Jetbrains products (which are only possibly second to Visual Studio in overall quality), and projects simply stop compiling and need magic tricks like invalidating caches to work again (and sometimes the trick reduces to reinstall every thing and delete all config), I don’t see how more tooling is so scorned.

Well of course they're boring if you spend literally hundreds of hours playing the same ones. That doesn't mean that games are boring, it means that you've exhausted the novelty in the ones you're playing.
I'm suspicious of this statement, what you count as Europe, and also of how you've focused on the mean (average), which is heavily affected by large outliers. The median feels more useful in cases like these. Also you haven't even cited your data source.

But even if speeds were equivalent or better in the US, prices in the US are still multiples of European prices for the same service.
The problem isn’t that there is a fiat step, the problem is that only one side of the transaction is in crypto. Expedia aren’t “accepting crypto” - they’re sending you to someone who will swap your crypto for cash and then taking the cash. The fact that refunds are in dollars means there is no fundamental difference with just swapping the crypto yourself before booking
> I just tossed the koin a few times. Here's the sequence it's landed in so far:

> T H T T T T T

> How likely do you think it is to land heads on the next toss? You might look at that sequence and be tempted to think a heads is "due", i.e. that it's more than 50% likely to land heads on the next toss.

> That's irrational. Right?

> Wrong. Given your evidence about koins, you should be more than 50% confident that the next toss will land heads; thinking otherwise would be a mistake.

Given the evidence I have about koins (the sequence) I would actually make the assumption that it's most likely for the next toss to be T. And that koins is not a fair coin.

In a more gambler relevant context, if a roulette ball ends on red 10 times in a row. It's more likely to end on red on the 11th time as well, the implication being that the roulette is not fair.
Oh, that's expensive. I pay 40 EUR/month (~60 AUD) and I find it really high (planning to look for something cheaper).
It is 1000/400 FFTH (the fiber terminates at my box).

For the price I pay I should be able to have a shared 10000/1000 (in reality it will probably be 2500/1000).

It would be a poor discussion that never had any questions in it.
The problem is that the production cost for a dose of medication (at least as long as it's a chemical synthetization process) is extremely low... but the cost of bringing it to market extremely high. Only a rare fraction of candidates makes it through the first stages of research and validation, and of what remains a large part gets rejected in human trials. All of these trials are expensive, especially the human ones.

And that one successful medication has to pay for all the trials of all the other candidates that didn't make it... and all the low hanging fruits have long been picked. What is remaining now is stuff for rare viral diseases (not just Covid vaccines that work effectively against mutations, but also HIV, Ebola and similars), cancers and multi-resistant bacteria. All of this has been going on for decades and news of actual marketable products are much rarer than news about promising cancer or whatever treatment ideas.

Everyone loves to dunk on pharma (with reasons, see e.g. Skhreli or the bullshit regarding insulin patents), but the core problem is the sheer cost associated with developing pharmaceuticals.
Russia Invests in Home Grown X-Ray Lithography Tech
Excuse my ignorance, but what is a "double text"?
I think the reason the author wasn’t _hearing it_ was that what she said didn’t make _sense_ to him. He couldn’t see the rationality of her argument (ratio = proportion), evidenced by his estimation that her reaction was wildly disproportionate. Perhaps because it was never about rationality/proportionality to her. She had a fundamentally irrationally based argument, and sometimes that’s ok and should carry value. The dirty dishes just _gave her a bad feeling_, and his response was akin to saying: but it shouldn’t!

I think the problem goes deeper than communication and listening: _he was valuing his judgement above hers_.

(There’s a word for people who are only willing to listen to their own advice/judgements and not comply with anything that doesn’t make _sense_ to them: headstrong.)

Maybe he valued his judgement higher because his judgement was rational and her point of view was irrational (based on emotions). I think this is a typical problem rational minded people (like HN readers) are likely to face in interpersonal relations. Especially if they have a belief system that values rationality above everything else.

I agree that you don't want non-CHERI Rust code to have to know about capabilities in any way. However, if you are using Rust for CHERI, you need to have some access to capability functions otherwise, even in pure capability mode, you can't reduce a capability's permissions. For example, if you want to write `malloc` in purecap Rust, you'll probably want to hand out capabilities that point to blocks of memory with bounds that only cover that block: you need some way to say "create a new capability which has smaller bounds than its parent capability."

As to the utility of hybrid mode, I politely disagree. For example, is it useful for safe Rust code to always pay the size penalty of capabilities when you've proven at compile-time that they can't misuse the underlying pointers? A very different example is that hybrid mode allows you to meaningfully impose sub-process like compartments (in particular with the `DDC` register, which restricts non-capability code to a subset of the virtual address space; see also the `PCC` register and friends). Personally, I think that this latter technique holds a great deal of potential.
w3schools is a pretty good resource for very basic stuff. If you're a professional developer you're probably not going to find it useful but if you're recommending a website for an absolute beginner there are worse sites.

Gah, why do we need another blocking addon? Because previously blocking addons have worked out really well. Why can't this have just been a uBlock Origin list?
I would add Stackoverflow for a very significant amount of queries. In particular in the domain of web development extremely outdated answers are heavily outranking far better answers. It shows how domain/link age is a strong factor in ranking, which is also why w3schools ranks highly.

That's bad, but I can somewhat sympathize with it as these sites are not really purposefully gaming SEO. It's rather Google's poor handling or relevancy and recenctness.

That's an entirely different situation from scammers like pinterest. They clone content without permission and then rank higher than the original. They broadcast content to be open to search engines yet when you visit, it's behind a login.

The behavior of duplicating content will normally tank your ranking. Faking content to not be behind a login where it really is behind a login, may get you fully delisted.

But not pinterest, they seem to get a free pass for anything.

"The people with money assume they can ask for whatever they like and have no concept that sometimes it's simply unprofitable for the little-guy to deliver it."

Thats a question of negotiating, isn't it?

They can ask for whatever they like and you can reply with whatever you like.

And then you find a agreement, or not.

The problem in your case seems to have been more lack of confidence and experience on your part, because like you said, selling a licence for a existing product is something very different, from making a contract about new features.

Otherwise a little guy can grow and hire more people to help him with a big contract, if this is what he or she wants.
We migrated from Slack to self-hosted Mattermost so we avoid being down. (And I guess money.)

Mattermost is so much worse that the slowness and general issues are not worth it. And in the end it is more down than Slack ever was, because it has performance issues.

I am not sure if it is Mattermost fault or our fault; but my friend from other corporation has similar experience with it. But maybe in general just don't know how to host MM, I donno

My whole smart home runs on self written software - but only the components that are highly customized, for example the dashboard, the video doorbell (which consists of multiple devices) and presence detection. Everything that can be solved by general purpose software, I don't bother to create my own software for (like your energy consumption report example, grafana does this better then I could ever do). Using mqtt and node-red, it's easy to connect my own software to the 3rd party stuff.

The author of those tweets doesn't seem to understand what TLB is (their terminology is off), doesn't seem to understand how GPUs work (they are explicitly designed to hide memory stalls by switching to a different kernel, which is why they have huge register files), doesn't seem to understand the memory hierarchies (why would a GPU have it's own TLB in the first place?). Besides, we know that M1 comes with a 3072-entry TLB that matches it's maximal 48MB cache size, so where did they come up with the "32MB figure anyway"?

It is entirely possible that M1 Ultra is bandwidth starved for some workloads, but that can be demonstrated using GPU profiling tools (which Apple readily provides) and not by musing about technical concepts that one barely understands.
Fair point, although I suppose most weeds aren't parasitic so disvaluing them is quite a bit more prone to errors based entirely on aesthetics. I'd fully agree that basing ecological decisions on aesthetics is a terrible idea.

It usually takes me at least a minute to recognize a search-optimized text if it's a topic I am unfamiliar with. Let's say I am googling something about windproofing underfloor insulation. The article starts with some basics about underfloor insulation in general, so I skim through the introduction, start hunting for the part of the article where it actually starts talking about windproofing and realize it's been cobbled together out of six random introductions or generated by GPT-3.

Ask HN: Selling a white labeled SaaS service to a big tech company
My startup has created a platform integrated white labeled service. Basically, the users of the platform will see the service offering on the platform, but they will think it’s offered by the platform itself. The COO of a big tech company (market cap >1B) is interested in integrating our product, and has referred us their head of product, but being that it’s a big company, the head of product tells us that should continue this conversation in Q2 of 2022.

What can I even do in this situation? I can’t get any value from them in a year or more? We don’t know if we’ll even exist a year from now.

Also, how do I make sure this deal doesn’t fall through after a year of waiting?

I could imagine GroenLinks also not being up to the task of getting the bureaucracy to 'do the right thing'. But they would be honest about their own failure and keep trying, perhaps taking drastic measures.

> If we took a coin that you ‘know’ a priori is unbiased, and we flipped it a million time, and it came up 98% heads, would you still stubbornly claim the next flip is just as likely heads as tails?

You know what I really wouldn't do? Conclude that it was due for heads, with greater than 50% probability. Gambler’s fallacy isn’t concluding bias from a pattern, it's specifically believing their is an interdepents between events such that disfavored results from a prior series have a higher probability of occurring next.

You are talking about a completely unrelated process of updating priors about bias of independent events.

An issue everyone seems to overlook is that an SaaS typically needs to be scalable to the entire world while your on-prem service pretty much never does.

The SaaS will have more moving parts & operator activity which in turn makes outages more likely, and that "operator activity" can't be planned for unlike on-prem where you can schedule maintenance out-of-hours to make sure any accidents don't affect the business.
