Potentially yes, ‘web sites’ are applications that can provide an almost unlimited plethora of services and business functions. Fortunately in the UK we have a fairly capable and independent judiciary that has a decent track record of interpreting regulations like this in sensible ways. Not perfect, but pretty good.
Yes, visiting a website is a form of doing business with the entity that runs that website. Especially in today's advertisement-centric web, visiting provides advertising revenue, and supports the entity running the website.

That is really amazing, because it allows developer to directly integrate normalized icons into their apps.

I planned to do it with godot, and apparently it means I can really reduce the cost of making icons, since those icons are free to use.
Then are you using some limited definition of hack that only includes breaking someone's password? I was not. Substitute the word perturb for hack if you will.
Superior in every way except for massive infrastructure costs, unsightly wires or rails, and fixed routes, I suppose.
That seems like rather a baseless assumption without supporting proof.
No, just.. if you want to list stuff like that then I'm expecting it to make some sort of sense? Unless you're saying it's a joke? (I don't really get it.)
The rock hard criterion still exists in other places but it's expressed in metric. In France it is usually 180cm (~5'11"), in Japan I've heard 170cm (~5'7") so it seems that people mostly like round numbers rather than 6ft specifically.
Clickbait.

Respect, though. An intentionally provocative article about targeted ads to help serve more targeted ads. Pretty clever.
This is why I typically refer to it as 'digital art' more than 'game'. (See my other comment on that).

It's not a roller coaster park, it's a museum exhibit or a gallery opening. That's not an insult- lots of people really like museums and art galleries. But have you ever witnessed someone dragged to one of those when they clearly have no interest in being there?
Only slightly related to the article is "stealth camping", which is an entertaining genre of youtube channels, including Steve Wallis. A recent example is https://youtu.be/OPDvLaXuSHQ

Wallis is Canadian, but similar sensibilities hold with regard to camping in places that aren't explicitly marked as campable.
I’m sorry that you experience migraines, I have only experienced one in my life during a stressful stint in graduate school.

Censorship is (roughly speaking) the suppression or prohibition of a particular point of view, or the speech of a person. This is not that. No points of view are prohibited, and if these people want to express their opinions in public or on other forums that choose to deal with them, they are feee to do so. This is a restraint of trade.
It's part of their intentionally quaint house style people have been complaining about it since my grandfather was in college.
The entire creative industry is full of this stuff, and generally folks know they aren't going to get fair treatment. And it has been a problem for decades.

I mostly know this stuff because I looked. I had dreams of doing animation or something like that as a child/teen. That was back in the 90s, and the stories about bad treatment have continued to current times. Don't get me wrong, at the same time there are folks out there working on this stuff that are living their dream despite it all, but it definitely deterred me. I can do art without it making money with it, after all.

It's usually in the contract that anything you do on company time is property of the company. I have a feeling they'd be more concerned about the time theft than selling your my little pony fanfic.
Interesting, 'most elegant solution with the broadest application', I have never seen it anywhere, but it sounds like at the time at least it was (perhaps in America specifically?) relatively popular?

Have you considered the possibility that the reason you’re not convincing people is that you’ve just got it wrong?
> until you described paxos and raft as untested

I said unrelated, not untested. Raft is not an adversarial protocol, it doesn't share the same threat model as blockchains.

They fulfil entirely different purposes.
Putin (and all of Russia) would be very happy now if he bought Bitcoins from the US dollar reserves a few months ago. He got an expensive lesson in ownership. Now if he had ownership of 10% of US apartments or 10% of US farmland, he would learn the same expensive lesson.

Warren Buffet is speaking from a privileged position. He has everyday access to the most powerful bankers of the world.
While I strongly disagree with Valve’s stance here, Hacker News isn’t meant to be used like this:

> Don't forget folks, go sign in and vote it up.

Content is supposed to receive organic upvotes because it’s legitimately intriguing, not because a group of people got together and decided to upvote it. Organized voting detracts from the legitimacy of the content and leads HN readers to expend more of their effort questioning the content rather than the issue you’re trying to raise.

Even if you’re raising a legitimate point, combined with all the new accounts commenting, that’s likely to get the post flagged into oblivion.
It’s not a big deal, it’s just the author did a bonehead move and it writing it up because it’s funny.

I think it’s appropriate to say they made a stupid mistake and move on.

The author is likely a little frustrated so I can forgive their shade throwing at treasury.
I'm a developer who mostly works with Python and I recently interviewed for a position that seemed to mostly involve Ruby on Rails. I was genuinely excited about working with Ruby, but the interviewer said they are struggling to hire Ruby developers and they are now hiring Python developers instead. It seems to be niche enough that small companies can't afford it.
In most counties in California you are free to buy land.

After that, just expect to pay property taxes unless you have money to build exactly the home they sign off on.

I once was ready to buy a reasonable small piece of land in Bolinas after graduating from college. I should have known the price was too good.

When I called the seller he took pity on me when I told him I wanted to just use it to pitch a tent on until I saved more money.

He said, "Son---you can't even put an blanket on "your" land and take a nap."
>I find it hard to be sympathetic to authors or other royalty paid workers collectively,

First off it's a little messed up to not care if people get paid for their work, second you say you're concerned with >giant corporations abusing laws generally

which is often the cause and in this case exactly the cause of the royalty paid workers not getting paid.

third, I often encounter variations of this attitude at HN which, considering that the mean wage of authors and writers https://www.bls.gov/ooh/media-and-communication/writers-and-... is $69,510 annually, and considering that many of the people on HN earn significantly more than that (I definitely do) seems especially gauche.

Now I don't know how much you earn per year, but if you are earning above that maybe it's messed up to think the people earning less than you should earn even less.

>I just find it hard to get excited about George R Martin getting his copyright back so he can sell it again.

argument by outlier isn't that great, but it should also be noted that writers and authors are more like entrepreneurs in how they create and get paid for creation, so maybe it is fair that some people who take risks earn more than others when those risks succeed.
The email of over payment seems to be dated 13th of April so there should have been some time left in that month. At least I think it is tied to month and not certain date in a month.

Any single sequence of numbers has the exact same probability of being produced by a fair die (that's how the definition of "fair" goes). The probability of getting all 6 is the same of any other one you get.

Spotify has both RSUs and options, you can choose which one you want and I think they do a very good job of explaining the differences in risk. You can also choose to be paid in cash if you want zero risk (but also zero gain)

Actually, only the second transaction's rejection is good evidence that the author's interpretation is wrong! The wording of the interface is definitely pretty terrible.
> pushing for teachers to use students' correct pronouns

Well from the point of view of describing material reality, these may well be the incorrect pronouns, if they are self-chosen.

Allowing students to choose their own third-person pronouns, assuming these to be the correct ones where they conflict with reality, and punishing those who don't use said pronouns, is only acceptable if you subscribe to the ideological practices of gender identity.

The ACLU of old would have argued for the opposite position - that these teachers must not be compelled to follow an ideology they don't believe in.
If I was wrong they could just give me a sound argument instead of directing insults at me and throwing "witty" reductionist jabs.

Do you think that argument structure is sound? By that logic quantum computing is a scam, because quantum theory has existed for a century.
If there are government agents out there that do that sort of thing as a matter of course, they should be prosecuted without mercy and imprisoned for decades as the criminals they are, if not lined up and shot at dawn.
Two juveniles arguing over whose sh!t smells better.

The argument for Bitcoin is it's name recognition and ability to attract new rubes to be fleeced. Buying BTC at this point is basically a bet that the fleecing hasn't run it's course yet.

The argument for Monero is it's secrecy making it a perfect tool for money laundering. Buying XMR is basically a bet that law enforcement won't be able to uncover/track your activities --- and you will be able to convert XMR back into USD (or other fiat) without paying outrageous fees.

Both are modern "wooden nickels". "Modern" meaning electrons are substituted for wood.

Personally, if I had to choose, I would take XMR. There will always be a demand for money laundering so the value proposition for XMR is clearly stronger and more likely to be sustainable over time IMO --- until law enforcement cracks the network.

I always wondered what it was that caused valve to be “run straight into the ground”.
Great to have this former disgruntled employees inside perspective. I’m sure it’s objective and aligns with reality.
Well, IRC 3 has been in development hell longer than Duke Nukem Forever was.

As someone who was essentially constantly on IRC back in the 90s to early 2000s, IRC is just significantly less usable "out of the box" than Discord or Matrix; either is significantly easier to teach someone to use, especially multiple-device.

The ship has sailed and I don't think IRC3 will ever get traction even if it ends up actually being good.

Ask the people who live there...because if they live there, they have figured out how to live on the land with the resources at hand.

Because they are people, they are as smart as people elsewhere.

And because they live there they have a motivation toward practical approaches over theoretical ideologies.

For example, if you "rainwater harvest" then that rainwater isn't available to the neighbors.

Good luck.

“We set the inflation rate every six months (on the first business day of May and on the first business day of November)”

So by buying in April, the next rate change on your own bond would be in October, which would still be before the next inflation rate change.
I consider that a feature. If you are on IRC I know that you are in front of your "main" computer and can dedicate your attention to me, instead of being on the tube and typing with a shitty phone keyboard trying to pay attention so you don't miss your station.
That reminds me, time for a step 2.
Clarification (thought it was obvious): when I'm not clocked on. But on in my own time, on my own hardware. Not in " work hours"
An unusual case where the horror game parts actually hurt the experience of the game. Perhaps in another time it would have been an adventure game instead.
I don't think so - by "broadest application" they mean "most generic" or "capable of being applied to the most cases" rather than "actually applied to the most cases".
So, in the described scenario, the password never shows up in the keyloggers log. Works as intended.
That's true given that we have a fair die. But the question is, given some results, what is the probability that the die is fair? And there are statistical tools for that.
I used to often reach for xfig for a quick tech diagram (boxes, circles, lines, etc). The "fig" file format, being text, is easy to drop into source control. It's fast and gets the job done. The feeling I get from peers, especially those who've never understood that unix/linux on desktop has long been a thing or really lived that far out of the Win32/MacOS ecosystem, look at you sideways when the file extension isn't .docx, or .ppt or whatever. Maybe SVG supplants fig in all the ways, but I still hope tools like xfig keep their place for quite some time.
From the original paper [1].

> Paradoxically, participants with a scientific background may perform worse at producing random sequences, thanks to a common belief among them that the occurrence of any string is as statistically likely as any other (a bias deriving from their knowledge of classical probability theory), which further justifies controlling for Field of education, simplified as humanities v. science.

It’s funny that I think lots of finance assumes that people with large sums of money will do lots of due diligence. So typically people with $20k sitting in their boring old checking don’t make such stupid mistakes. And the mistakes are pretty easy given the pretty anti-UX that banking tends to use.

I think if regular people used these transactions more we’d have more errors. But then I suppose the UX would get improved because we’d have millions of transactions instead of thousands.

As it is now people spend a lot of time and so bad UX can still be successful. I probably spent 20 minutes on the treasurydirect site and their purchase/transfer page as opposed to seconds on my consumer-designed bank page.
The probability of a specific sequence occurring is different from the probability of a specific sequence being random.
As long as you are consistent in your decision making, I have no problem with that outcome.

I'd rather have it that people are by default skeptical and do their own research. Crypto will win by default because of its merit.
just as another point of view from someone who was recently close to your daughter's age I generally agree with ilaksh, but I don't think this is what you are doing (or that you are taking it far[1]). It is very frustrating when one build a new thing, learn something exiting, or be really hyped about a new development in the field and not be able to share that with their parents. or them not really "getting" it and being disproportionately proud.

Hilariously, I usually had the opposite problem where I'd slap something together haphazardly by following an internet tutorial (with 0 actually understanding of what is going on) and my dad would be visibly proud and happy with the cool demo even when I tell him that I just downloaded X and copy-pasted Y and Z.

[1] unless you really want to answer the "what is the best language?" question as most of us view (Learn these top 5 X_technologies in 2022) articles as superficial bs. I see from your other comments that this might not be what you really meant. Which is fine. It is just funny seeing people triggered by it lool (I guess I also kinda was). I just wanted to elaborate that we have our own hypes, trends, and tabloid-like articles that answer questions akin to "You need to know about these top 5 hospitals in NY" or "Surgeons who use x-surgical-tool are paid the highest"
I come from a very poor part of the world, and know people worse off than me be able to reach this position via hard work. So, in my personal opinion, I'm inclined to believe GP in this instance.
By that logic every human has everything they need from birth. Why would your genes set you up for failure? They obviously aren't. What has changed is the environment and the existing gene pool (apparently?) is under immense selective pressure but why?

I think the biggest change is online dating. It has constrained the "selection function" to things that can be compressed into a picture and profile text. It may look like it is biased toward certain genes but at the same time it is also wholly incomplete in that regard. You don't even get to hear someone's voice which is purely derived from genetics!
I read the whole article and I still don’t know why people sleep less. They mention stress and out of whack circadian rhythm which can mean many things.

I think we do it to ourselves. More and more people are sleeping less than ideal sleep or have chronic sleep issues. We pump our systems full of caffeine and alcohol and our body hardly knows how to process it for actual sleep. We sit on bright blue screens until minutes before we think we can sleep. We hear noises indicating the start and end of a workday. We have artificial lights all throughout our homes and bedrooms where we sleep. We aren’t regularly told by anyone but our guardians that sleep is important in the long term and if we don’t work on good sleep habits today, we’ll suffer as we age.

While wild animals and early human just have to worry about predators, that seems like social sleeping has deterred this problem for millennia.
Ruby is very much main stream. Any non-programmer business type who wants to start a startup immediately think it should be in Ruby or Python because that's what he think is the most popular thing.
Won't it to distort the results to be front loading people with all of this information before doing the test like they're doing on the website?
This is the disconnect. HN wants to come across as a discussion of free ideas that can be voted upon, but some users can down-weight comments to the bottom? That’s well within HN’s prerogative since it was started by YC, but they should be straight forward that YC companies are given preferential treatment.

Most lurkers and users think YC companies make it to the front page organically and based on merit alone.
There's a couple of things going on here.

Schools in the US and perhaps elsewhere DO NOT TEACH STUDENTS about how to handle failure states and anxiety. It is the biggest blind spot the US has and it is biting us in the butt. A big part of the culture is about perfectionism (perhaps rooted in religion - perhaps rooted in kids TV shows - sports culture) - and that needs to be replaced with "blameless continual improvement".

The best performers are those that divorce failure states from emotions and anxiety.

XYZ isn't finished yet - no you're not done.... that's TOTALLY ok. Every homework assignment starts off with a grade of F - you work on it to get to a C, B, or A. A startup's work is never done, there really is no success state, and that's OK too. You're helping to make the product better, you're delivering features to customers. Your making the task pipeline faster with your automation tools. Things suck - but you're making life easier for everyone tomorrow.

The reason why things are so bad now, is because before, things were worse. Its a much more positive way of looking at things for me. Yeah, things can improve, but we've done a lot to make things better.

Also https://www.businessinsider.com/astronaut-chris-hadfield-in-... - there is no problem so bad that you can't make it worse. The best thing you can do is separate your emotions from the situation because they degrade your executive functions.

I disagree with the "quit your bellyaching" sort of conclusions. It gives off a very https://reddit.com/r/wowthanksimcured vibe.
> The caveat is that you must agree with how your govt. calculates inflation.

This is an easy caveat to make as there are many other parts depending on how the US government calculates inflation.

And there aren’t alternate inflation calculations out there, and certainly no consumer financial instruments pegged to them.

For all its flaws, it’s the best we have. I think it’s not discussed because it’s such a sunk risk that it’s not really anything that would change someone’s mind.
"more" being the key word in that headline. Since the researchers believe there are several potential disparities remaining in the process to be improved.
That looks like a very good design! When I use a pencil, I like a Twist-Erase III for most of the same reasons.

But I've also found a good fountain pen to be faster and more comfortable to use than any pencil, and over the past few years pens have much improved my hand besides. I started with a Pilot Metropolitan, and will happily recommend it to anyone as an easy, inexpensive starter pen that works well, looks good, and requires an absolute minimum of fuss.

(You also don't need to replace cartridges in a pen all that often - at least not in a Pilot pen, whose cartridges hold a milliliter. I just like to have a spare so I don't find myself having to grab the loaner rollerball from my satchel, and a spare for the spare in case I use the first spare and forget to replace it. I grant I may slightly overthink this, but I've been being me for long enough now to have a pretty good grasp of most failure modes, too...)
