The problem is that Python encourages this "it's all cool, man" syntactic mindset. "Just indent your code the natural way, don't worry about all that extra syntax like curly braces." And then it comes back to bite you when your "formatting" causes syntax problems.

People are used to the idea of explicit delimiters, at least to some extent, thanks to punctuation. People are not at all used to whitespace having syntactic meaning. You can put as many spaces as you want between words, or sentences, or paragraphs, and it might look weird but it still means the same thing.

Semantic whitespace isn't a reduction in syntax, it just hides the syntax to fool you into thinking it isn't there, until it goes wrong and you suddenly have to debug it.
The maintenance of gas-powered lawn equipment is sort of a pain though. I replaced my weed whacker a couple years ago with a cordless electric one and it's a lot easier. Quieter and less polluting as well.
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve never bought bills, I will check it out. I use Marcus savings which just increased its rate from 50 bps to 60 bps yesterday.

Trying to be selective. I don’t want to screw up my entire gut microbiome.
I did research for a Blockchain class a few summers ago. One of the use cases for private Blockchain is if multiple competitors want to cooperate to provide a single service. The most successful example is Maersk's Tradelens. Multiple competitors can hand off a package between each other and a customer or customs official can see the whole journey of that package and sensitive data like invoices without all competitors having access to that data or having to trust a central authority to keep everyone's secrets.
I wasn't really suggesting it as a savings vehicle, rather I was contrasting how a neutral government rate is going up significantly while banks are still stubbornly sticking to their artificially low savings rates.

Who the fuck are you (or BJP/RSS goons) to decide who is Hindu and who is not? While we are at it, I call people like you nazi. You are what people call right wing Hindu extremists. You are 'useful idiot' for murderer Modi. Your idols are openly saying that every Hindu should rape muslim women. And yet you have the gumption of calling me anti-Hindu. What a sick people you are.

Those RSS thugs didn't even participate in India freedom struggle. So why are they even concerned with partition or freedom?

If I am not a Hindu and hence should move to Pakistan, then you idiots are shedding tears for Pakistani Hindus?

You actually proved me right when I asserted in other comments that anybody who is anti-Modi is declared anti hindu/anti India and is unsafe in India.
We went through about five different platforms for our SaaS (EmailOctopus) before settling on Help Scout. It’s excellent.
This is a limitation of science.

The issue I see, is how to continue to study such purely theoretical matters?

Why should everything have to be testable (and thus, potentially developed into a marketable product)?

It may not be science, but a lot of people still like to do that kind of theoretical work.

Your boss has no power to restrict

There is no comparison between this, and the government mandates that characterize fascist and socialist societies.
> HN has really taught me how to communicate respectfully with people who I don't agree with

What HN is good at is preventing or limiting discussion so that it doesn't turn into a flame war by any side. Whereas today's reddit and much of social media/tech only allows one side to flamebait.

Reddit and most of the internet 10 years ago was a far better place for discussion. It's why reddit became so much popular than HN. If you genuinely wanted to understand a topic better ( whatever it was and however controversial it was ), you'd get all sides of it. Today, it's just one side. Sure, it was wild, but everyone got their say and you could read up on everyone's position. Now, sadly, most of tech is just corporate/media/establishment propaganda.
Amazon helps suppliers dodge liability for dangerous products
Well Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen was published in 1935. Bell's Theorem was published in 1964. Bell's wasn't tested experimentally until 1972, by which time it was largely forgotten except for creative fellow who worked out a way to test it.

I think having testability as a qualification for theory might not serve us well.

It blows my mind how much we have deduced about black holes in 100+ years, yet it was only very recently that we could actually "see" one. Would hate to lose that.
I agree here. I really like what Zig has done with pointer types. I wrote about it here [0]. What I like most is that all the types consistently read from left to right, and there are types that encode the cardinality of a pointer unlike C. I wonder what you or others think about Zig’s pointers syntax.

The whole world does not hate Russians. On the contrary, I've seen a lot of empathy for Russians abroad and in Russia who do not support the invasion of and atrocities in the Ukraine but still have to suffer because of the Russian government's, or rather Vladimir Putin's, actions. Obviously, yes, Russians who express support for Putin are hated, rightfully so.

So what? Was BT monopoly protected by laws?

For example, in Ukraine was state monopoly Ukrtelecom, and government constantly conducted policy, to prohibit private companies use technologies newer than in Ukrtelecom.

Because of this, before revolution in 2004, Ukraine has very slow internet (private companies allowed only 64k private channel abroad - more only from Ukrtelecom); than 3G was slowed, because only Ukrtelecom got licence.
Also there was many smaller law limitations in favor of UT.

At a comparable "age of development" (i.e. early 20th century), gasoline cars started using leaded fuel. I'd say there's quite a bunch of battery fires left before it's getting into "similar" damage impact.

Some predictions of the model were tested soon after Einstein published the theory. Others, like gravitational waves, were not. Yet people still believed in gravitational waves long before they were empirically confirmed.

I don't see any possible basis for that belief (at the time) other than arguments based on non-empirical reasons like consistency and parsimony. (That is, it would be strange if other predictions of the model worked out but this one didn't.) Yet it is exactly this kind of theoretical reasoning that Hossenfelder, taken literally, seems to reject (in the absence of experimental data).

I'll also note that any other solution of the black hole information paradox has to be consistent with the the rest of what we know about physics, and any future empirical observations. So it can't be completely untethered from reality; it makes testable claims in this way. Further, it's not clear such solutions can never be directly tested, or will never be found to imply novel testable consequences.
Disinformation is the buzzword of the day on all sides of many debates, but as far as I have researched the issue, I cannot find a logical and systematic presentation of it as a concept. Mr. Taleb certainly did not do it in this video, though perhaps his intellect and reasoning ability should be adequate for the task.

I cannot grasp what people mean when they say misinformation/disinformation". Since there are several different ways of lies (simple lie, spin, omission, leading statements, assumption injections, etc) and different types of knowledge each with different types of research (empirical research is just one out of many kinds most appropriate in technical knowledge, but wanting when doing history/philosophy/reflection). And, each of us is liable to make a error in logic, judgement, interpretation or perception (of information).

When we accuse someone of disinformation, do we mean that we have researched, weighed and logically derived objective conclusion, cutting though all the different ways information can be interpreted in various context, and the other person made an error somewhere within the chain?

It seems that disinformation seems to be a label generally used as a short-hand for aggressive dismissal with moral overtone (signaling one's own moral superiority) when facing disagreement (in majority of cases, and prolific in media, forums, etc).

I would side with K. Popper (to some degree) that rather than disinformation alone being the real problem, we are struggling collectively of false confidence in our knowledge - fact-ism , scienctism, wrapping them and staking our ego on our opinion. Sometimes we go as far as assuming that information is knowledge (as also reflected in algorithmic dominance in all our spaces we inhabit).

Given many people name their WiFi networks after their name or something identifying and have too many devices set to connect to the already-set SSID, this is a horrible practice from Mozilla and definitely does not adhere to it's statements on privacy [1].

Additionally, many networks' WiFi addresses are simply unchangeable for a number of reasons, including lack of admin access.

I think it's great that Mozilla gives some semblance of control of one's privacy, but in the end, there's absolutely no reality where Firefox can claim it's focused on privacy [2].

It isn’t a ‘tax the 1%’ issue, it’s a corruption and market capture issue in the US that we refuse to acknowledge.

Throwing more money at it usually makes that kind of problem WORSE not better.
Maybe look at the relative size of the countries’ respective economies. Whether French Guiana sanctions Russia doesn’t matter nearly as much as e.g. the European Union doing so.
Nope, just that people who want to gain power in a democracy and change something need to realize that they need to have tools to make large number of people vote for them.

You can't write JavaScript in a C compiler and complain that nothing compiles.
Open source implementation tools certainly have a long way to go but they're already capable of doing some good stuff. E.g. check out symbiflow/f4pga (https://github.com/SymbiFlow, https://f4pga.org/). You can build significant FPGA designs for the modern Xilinx Artix 7 FPGAs with entirely open source tooling.

Efabless are doing multiple shuttle runs that use an open PDK (Skywater 130nm) and open implementation tools (https://efabless.com/open_shuttle_program). Very primitive compared to a cadenece or synopsys tool suite producing designs for a leading edge node, but still capable of producing a real chip that can be used in real applications.

Implementation tools are very complex and the costs for messing up a design are very high, so they're not going to be the first things open source tooling might displace.

I think you'll also see them mature far quicker in the FPGA world as you can always switch back to the vendor tools if the open flow isn't working for you (where with silicon you might not discover the open flow has messed up your tape-out until it's too late). Plus it's a lot easier to developers to iterate and improve the tools (you need an FPGA board, $500 will get you something with decent capabilities, a slight risk you'll destroy it when experimenting, far cheaper than having to do multiple ASIC tape-outs to test your results). Also worth noting Xilinx have joined the f4pga working group and I know Lattice look favorably upon open source FPGA tool chains.

Once open source flows mature in FPGA land I can see them dominating (contrast against compiler technology, once upon a time you'd be buying a commercial compiler, now whilst commercial compilers still exist GCC and LLVM are your best option in many cases). Then when proved in FPGA interest in open source ASIC implementation will hopefully rise and you will see open ASIC flows mature also.
I believe Microsoft uses (used?) Bit Torrent for Windows updates. Can the Xbox do something similar?

I've spent the last 5 months or so working on a custom-built mouse, for the fun of it. Designed the PCB around a high-end laser sensor, designed the case in FreeCAD, wrote the firmware. I've made two so far and given one of them away. I'm planning to make at least a few more. By the time I get 5 or 6 built, I'll have probably spent $1000 on the project, although a majority of that is a 3d printer.

I'm still not sure if I want to try and monetize that or not. People have expressed interest in buying them, but I've actually done the electronics production line thing in a long-ago internship and I know that it really is a job. Also, it's not like I'm going to be retiring off the proceeds of selling weirdly-shaped 3-button wired mice with no scrollwheels, it's a hell of a niche.
Yeah, I think more home connections going symmetric could open up big personal computing applications that haven’t been super practical before, and make a market for easy-to-use personal home servers. Even just personal media streaming while traveling can benefit greatly from upload being boosted past the 10mbit up that’s somewhat common among cable ISPs. Having a symmetric connection also removes one of the mental constraints that we have at the back of our minds.

It’s my biggest hope for internet re-decentralization.

It's a (granted, well deserved) PR piece for Goldman Sachs. Their "popular consumer bank Marcus" is called out early for "offering individuals a yield in excess of 2%" in 2019. Its 50 bps is then compared to "Bank of America Corp.’s 0.04% or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s 0.02%."
Telus fibre not available where I live only Shaw. And it's not bad all considered, just expensive compared to the rest of the world.
Serious question: inflation seems to only be getting higher (is it 8%+ now?) the Fed's increasing of the interest rate is causing a stock market crash. So if one puts their money into assets, those are decreasing in price due to the fed, and if someone is holding cash that's also going down in value due to inflation. What's the solution?
Because you have a single copper pair/coax cable with a finite bandwidth on it, and making a choice about how to split it.

Eg, your tech and cable can support 40 Mbps. If you split that 20/20, your users will have trouble watching 4K video that wants 25 Mbps. Change that to 35/5, and for most people it'll actually work better.

This issue goes away eventually as you either get a fiber for each direction, or you can just push terabits through fiber anyway, so there's plenty capacity to be symmetric without any compromises.
Yes, I think it's pushing back on the overly binary idea that transactions are always/never reversible but it does it by being overly binary in the opposite direction.

A better summary might be "transactions are reversible in more cases than you would expect."

Also, transactions that aren't reversible at a low level are often reversible at a higher level in the stack.

T-Mobile Money offers a 1% checking account and saving account. Both FDIC insured. I'm not exactly sure how they can afford this, or how long it will last, but it's the highest rate account I've found so far, and you don't need to be a T-Mobile customer.
Yeah, I’m a new Sonic customer and got their 10gbit service. $40/mo beats any of the other three providers pricing for much lower bandwidth.

However, I only have a gigabit router, so most of that isn’t utilized, assuming that’s true for all my neighbors as well (Sonic’s only offering here is 10gbit)

I was lucky and that was also the first thing I learned about programming (with the amazing 80's "The Home Computer Course" magazine). I still remember the first program I read:

10 REM Computers are never wrong
20 PRINT "Please type a number"
30 INPUT A
40 LET A = A + 1
50 PRINT "The number you typed was"
60 PRINT A

After a few paragraphs of explanation I learned that computers do what you tell them to do, not what you want them to do.
$34M are not locked. Rather the tokens some people paid $34M have now become worthless (untradeable). But those $34M have not disappeared they're on somebody's bank accounts. Such rhetoric is very deceptive.
I’m imagining a scenario where you’re about to check out, and decide not to finish the transaction because you wanted to add something else to your very first.

Pretty much: https://research.cloudflare.com/publications/Fayed2021/

See also, DNS SVC (A/B) records (pseudo NAT at DNS layer); but not many deployments use it or understand it. Note that, SNI as a routing replacement works for TCP nicely without much (user-space) complication. With QUIC, transparently proxying connections isn't all that straight forward.

The Bangladesh hack was unable to be reversed because the attackers exploited holidays in multiple countries to create a multi-day window where they could be reasonably sure that people wouldn't be auditing the transaction.

And of that hack, I think something like 90% of the transactions for stolen money were reversed, but a significant portion got through because of the timing.

edit- and IIRC the whole thing was caught because of a typo?
> the whole adage about "do what you love and you'll never work another day in your life" doesn't apply to running a small business.

Is that because when you turn a hobby into a business there are lots of non-hobby tasks and requirements? Like sales, marketing, etc, etc?

Or because of the pressure of delivering the result?

Or for some other reason?
