In this case it's survivor bias in that "We did these things and we didn't fail, ergo these things must be great."

Whenever you see a talk like this, always assume that it's BS. It might not be used by any real customers, or might still be in development. There might be a bunch of fires happening all the time due to things the talk doesn't mention. And it might be shuttered the next month if it's too expensive, complicated, obscure, or hard to support. These talks should only be considered aspirational sources of ideas, but never taken as a gold-standard battle-tested model, until they tell you how it fails. Only after you know how a system fails and how to respond to it can it be said to be reliable.

> don't know what the audiophiles are talking about

They don't know either. Audiophiles are by and large the dumbest consumers on the planet, willing to pay for huge sums of money to grifters and lying companies for imaginary gains that are either not measurable or well below the threshold any human could conceivably hear a difference. And they are so deep in that trap that they get angry when they are called out on their bullshit (see MQA for example).

The premium would be really large though. The difference is only in degree between current zoning and something like "I have a nice view from my window and therefore my neighbors should not be allowed to build up the 2nd floor or plant trees in a way that would block it, and nobody should be allowed to build tall buildings in downtown between me and the mountains". The current zoning just happens to be status quo. Both unreasonably restrict what others can do with their property, and the only fair way to really "pay the premium" to enforce either is to buy the land (or at least, pay some large fraction of market rent, to offset the loss that owner incurs by not e.g. building and renting out more units). Well that or NIMBYism, which is a nicer name for regulatory capture, i.e. corruption.

Ya of course, but my natural inclination is not to ask a question to a web page
As I read your comment, I wonder how much the job market parallels the dating market, especially as I read:

> if a recruiter contacted me I would have to weigh all the benefits of the role against the hassle of interviewing, including figuring out how to leave the office discreetly and potentially block off consecutive days.

I wonder if remote working and remote (long-distance) relationships are facing similar challenges—maybe more "serial monogamy" (lower retention), "cheating" (secretly working for a second company or consulting), "polygamy" (openly work for multiple companies at the same time), "open relationships" (allowed to take consulting gigs and side projects on top of one's job), or just "dating" (freelancing instead of being exclusive with one company).

I really wonder how much the technology environment enables or pushes us towards these types of relationships, professional and romantic.

It manufactures cooperation and friendships on a level unlike any other game I've played. If you join any actively led platoon and you have a microphone, you immediately feel like you're part of something big, and you've got a 50% chance of being recruited by the outfit running it and/or invited to their discord.

My impression of Rust and Tarkov is that they manufacture meaningful competition well, but they don't create friendships as quickly, and they especially don't create friendly rivalries and working relationships between people on the same team.

That's actually close to what happens with any well-founded infinitesimal theory. Bear with me a moment.

Note that lots of functions have rates of growth between x^0 and all x^a, so the rationale isn't great. Log(x) doesn't actually have to behave like any exponential.

Worse yet, it's similarly pretty easy to prove that x^ε must be closer to 1 than any other real (for positive x). Log(x) seems curvier than a constant, so x^ε doesn't look like quite the right representation.

That said, (x^ε-1)/ε _is_ actually closer to log(x) than any other real. The easiest way to get an intuitive feel for that is to rewrite x^ε as e^(ε log(x)) and examine the maclaurin series. There are some details in proving that works appropriately, but everything does actually fall into place.

In some view then, x^ε really does have the same asymptomatic structure as log(x). They just differ by infinite constant factors rather than finite ones, so they definitely don't grow at the same rate in any classical sense (Big O, Big Theta, ...).

Incidentally, exactly that same idea plays into one of the examples from TFA. Integrate x^(ε-1) with the ordinary power rule, and you'll find (1/ε)x^ε, or with that same maclaurin expansion (1/ε) + log(x) + O(ε). Admittedly the infinite constant looks a little odd (and I haven't taken care to prove that the results of that particular integration procedure are anything more than a happy accident), but that bears a striking resemblance to C + log(x).

But I have never seen it to mark negation of a condition, that's usually done with a slash (as in ≠ ≮ ≯ ≰ ≱ ≴ ≵ ⊄ ⊅ ⊈ ⊉ ⊊ ⊋ ∉ ∌ ∄ ∦, you get the idea).

So for "not a right angle" I'd have expected a "right angle" symbol with a slash through it.

> He wasn't claiming to have psychic powers.

He's not?

> I perfected another where I asked a person to think of a loved one, and then I guessed their loved one’s name

I don't see how you do this one sans psychic powers unless you're at least somewhat familiar with the person and their loved ones. Guessing common names would work every once in a while, but nowhere close to the majority of the time.

Now perhaps if you research the person ahead of time, maybe frame your question in a way that they're more likely to think of a particular type of person (e.g. mention age or old times so that they're more likely to think of grandparents as opposed to younger relatives), I could see that working, but that's not what he said. "Hey stranger, think of a loved one" -> "I know their name" is impossible without telepathy.

Similarly:

> Having someone merely think of a drawing, then taking a pad and duplicating their vision perfectly?

No, you can't do this without psychic powers unless you're adding a lot more context around the type of drawing before they do it. "Hey stranger, do a drawing of something, anything" isn't gonna work. Even if you assume there's a handful of common objects that people are likely to draw -- a house, a car, a dog, a flower -- you're still gonna be wrong more often than right.

> If this were the case, most Republican politicians would be running on a carbon emissions reduction platform, but that's manifestly not the case. The vast majority are either silent on the issue or openly mock the idea of its existence.

It is the case. Look at the numbers, the data doesn't lie. I'm not talking about corrupt politicians, I'm talking about the people. Look up the numbers. Far worse policies, laws, wars, etc have been rammed through on negative popularity. Far slimmer margins are hailed as a "mandate" and "bipartisan" when it suits them.

It's not the people who need convincing at this point, it's the politicians. What the people need convincing of is something else, which is that it's now up to the politicians. They are the ones responsible, not some lunatic fringe or imaginary boogyman they've invented. Politicians. All politicians, and especially their politicians.

Don't let them keep fooling you into believing it's the unemployed coal miner in West Virginia who is to blame for them not taking action on climate change. It's the politicians. Both sides -- what are the Democrats doing about it right now that they control the executive and congress and have a decent position in the senate? The gravest and most important problem ever to have faced humanity. Must be that all-powerful hillbilly somehow stopping them from doing anything about it, eh?

EDIT: Take a look at this for example, https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2020/06/23/two-thirds-of...

Not only are the vast majority of Americans in favor of more climate action, actually the majority of Republican voters are in favor of significant policies. 55% in favor of taxing corporations based on their carbon emissions!!

So please stop spreading misinformation about this and don't let your corrupt politicians continue to fool you, continue to divide people, and continue to get away with their inaction on climate change. It's not some lunatic fringe of hated "others" who are preventing action, it's your damn lying, divisive, hatemongering, corrupt politicians.
I thought the ductility if gold helped make a better connection. More touching surface area.
Couple of scenarios come to mind...

1) Its super common even in multitenant systems to have a common database with configuration information (for example) which serves all tenants, and tenant-specific databases used alongside that to host their private data.

2) Back when sharding started to be a popular scaling pattern, tenants were not always split up by the tenant boundary but by some other reliable key. Obviously this isn't true multitenancy and I think most DBAs would discourage the pattern today. However, given the age of the products at Atlassian (and assuming a fast-and-loose engineering culture, which has been alluded to elsewhere) its entirely possible that parts of these products as well as the entire product itself may use this kind of sharding.

Bottom line, we can only hypothesize unless and until someone from Atlassian actually details their architecture (which may have happened? I dunno, I haven't been paying that much attention to it…)

How to learn to deal with mistakes as a solo founder
CAFE is such a shitty law that the best thing you could do would be taking it behind the barn and shooting it. Rather than set a floor, it sets a ceiling. The artificial divide on fleets by where they are produced privileges UAW members over fuel economy and consumers. The class distinction ended moderately economical wagons for monster SUVs. And on and on and on.

Kill it, sign a safety standards harmonization agreement with the EU and Japan, and ruthlessly prioritize making it possible for American consumers to buy the same models available in other markets where fuel economy is serious business.

The different search topics are similar to what I was thinking but it's just a variation on Google's various tabs, like shopping.

What I'm thinking of is a dedicated search site focused on a single topic. Take Breeze's guitar tab search and make a Guitargle.com. Then it could be promoted, marketed, refined and advertised on all sorts of apps - probably even on Google itself if they weren't paying attention. All the guitar apps could have integrated Guitargle search. Then make another vertical for the bird watchers search. And another for scholarships. All with different graphic designs based on the target demographic, with a "Powered By Breeze" at the bottom of each site.

Just a thought.

It's possible to assess the person (say, an eighty year old lady from the United Kingdom) and then use the name "Albert" as a statistically-likely significant name.

This doesn't need to be THE name that was thought of - a good mentalist can convince the subject that "Albert" is actually the "loved one" they were thinking of, even if it wasn't the first name to be considered. People are inclined to be agreeable, especially in an unfamiliar setting with a large number of strangers staring at them and even more so if the person is alone and elderly.

Just as 20 perfectly alternating heads/tails/heads/tails will lead to another 50/50 chance, or any other potential pattern the past may have held.
Thinking that you're building software "for the love of the game" instead of, "to make money" is a common mistake engineers make. Don't make that mistake.

I think my use of "quiet" and "crowd" was not very clear. For me quiet is the absence of hustle and bustle.

When I down my street, I'll see at most 1-2 people out and about. To me, that's a more relaxing environment than even the best urban environments where I'll see dozens of people.

Unless I live next to a major road/highway, the occasional car noise is less bothersome to me personally than noise from people. To me car noise feels like white background noise, but voices trigger some active part of my brain.

I'm not arguing that's a completely rational way to feel / belief, but it totally how I feel.
> His energy bill amount is not what is staggering, it's his energy usage amount.

I mean, he was overpaying versus standard energy costs by insisting on renewable sources, so the usage can't be staggering and the bill not be.

And your citation show that he's actively taking steps to reduce his energy usage year over year. $640 in 2005 versus $536 in 2006 means he had a >15% year over year reduction in his house's energy bill for a hundred year old house. He's obviously either cutting back actively on energy usage from simply using less, or making investments in his hundred year old house's energy efficiency or (probably) both. Just because he hadn't gotten to the pool yet isn't that big of a deal to me (particularly when he's going out of his way to power that pool usage out of renewable sources).
I don't understand why the author wastes time with his particular beef, but arguably, Gambler's Fallacy is not a fallacy in the sense that it is neither a logical (formal or informal) fallacy nor a mathematical fallacy. A fallacy is the employment of faulty reasoning, but when committing the Gambler's Fallacy, it isn't reasoning that is flawed, but a lack of knowledge of statistics, or Discrete Mathematics such as combinations and permutations, or, conversely, Gambler's Fallacy is instead merely cognitive bias towards inaccurate expectations.
