One of the infographics in the article suggests looking up the number of the text, which I'd suggest is actively harmful advice - it gives you zero information and risks lulling people into a false sense of security. Assume that all texts are from scammers and act accordingly.
Very interesting. As one of the maintainer of Cordova I am looking forward to see what happens there.

> If it is economically viable at small scale why wouldn't it be more so at a larger scale?

Well, because of scaling. Let's say 1% of your users create a support request every month (no idea if this is way too high or too low). Trying to KISS.

If your service has 1000 users, that makes 10 support requests per month. One person can handle them alone, probably.

Google Drive alone has 1b users, but let's cut that by 50%, after all this is the number which Google reports themselves. Still, with half a biillion users you would suddenly receive 50 million requests. Let's be even more generous and say that these requests are opened over the span over a year, not month. That's still 4.5 million support requests per month.

Don't even know if my calculations serve any purpose, what I am trying to say is that the amount of users and support staff your service needs do not scale 1:1. At a certain point(no idea what the cut-off is) your service will create so many requests that it will become impossible to handle them all with care and humans. To add to this, the more users your service has, the bigger your infrastructure has to be, meaning that you need more people maintaining this infrastructure.

Maybe I am to pessimistic or whatever, could be. Just my 2cts.
Eh, different people have different preferences.

Some people _like_ shopping.

Similarly, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, liked to drive himself. He could have people drive him easily. And I must imagine, he probably liked the experience of test driving new cars and picking one that he liked. Even though his assistants probably knew exactly what his preferences in cars were and could have predicted accurately which one he'd end up choosing.
That's not my point. People aged 25-30 first enter the housing market. Most of the millennials have been on the market for a while now, but haven't been able to buy because it is unaffordable to them. I know 40yo people that have been looking for a place to buy for years now.
It also depends on who you are in debt to. For example, Japan is mainly indebted to its citizens.
I did 10 years at Google all the time feeling the same way as you, because of the golden handcuffs.

And you know what? That's exactly what Google wants.

Keeping you out of the job market and out of competitors' hands is worth every penny to them.

I don't have the answer for you about what's next, because I quit in December and haven't picked up anything new yet. But, yeah. That's my take.
“ These algorithms resemble supercharged versions of Excel’s curve-fitting function, except they look not just for lines or parabolas to fit a set of data points, but billions of formulas of all sorts. In this way, the machine scientist could give the humans insight into why cells divide, whereas a neural network could only predict when they do.”

It’s very cool witnessing the consequences of Moore’s law; as the cost of billions of calculations goes to pennies, this becomes easier and easier.

Since the complexity of nature is unbounded, I wonder if the slow down of Moore’s law will represent a plateau of what can be symbolically discovered.

For example, will the next set of scientistic discoveries require quintillions of combinatorial checks that can’t be accomplished in a human lifetime?
I wonder if they could have sub-rented out their space in the meantime to make some extra money?

Probably not to just anything, because you have to remain high status. But perhaps host some fancy artists or so.
Supply is still lower than demand, I don't see why that would suddenly change. (Still renting after looking for a house for years, while watching houses getting more expensive by the month)
People always talk about debts GDP ratio and forget to tell in what currency the debt is.

It's, obviously, not the same, a debt in your own currency that in a currency that you don't control.

A country that is taking debt in a currency that they don't control is, almost always, searching for trouble.
and together with disincentivizing owning multiple houses, that would mean that things tend to "own your living space and nothing else"

I have TWO:
- MacBook Pro 13 inch, 2017
- Lenovo Carbon X1, 2020 running Debian Testing

I got the Lenovo because my Mac would freeze during Teams calls. I later found out this is only happening if my Logitech MX Master 3 mouse and my Sony WX1000MX3 are connected at the same time! I did not fully switch to Lenovo because I hate the (lack of) fractional scaling. I mostly use either laptop docked, connected to a 4K screen at home or 1440p at the office
There is no difference. There are a lot of currencies. There are two reasons you might want to hold them:

- you believe they might increase in value or at least hold their value relative to other currencies.

- you need them for something (e.g. because you need to spend some) and you trust they won't decrease in value short term.

With any coin, as soon as you break that trust it becomes a problem. This coin is no different than Argentina pegging their currency to the dollar back in the day. Didn't work out either because their economy was still bad and they had to walk back their promises regarding that value. As soon as people stopped believing their coin was worth 1 dollar, it devalued by a lot. There are plenty of examples of 'real' currencies running into issues with their valuation. The Venezuelan currency was at some point cheaper than toilet paper by weight, for example. Happens all the time. Real currencies can be as unstable or even less stable than the shittiest crypto coin.

Ultimately the problem with a lot of these stable coins is a lack of regulation and mandatory reserves combined with dodgy market making magic bots that may or may not work as advertised. This one clearly did not keep up and now the reserves are gone and the trust as well.

Ok, that is taking it to the extreme, for sure, but Google has been, for a long while now, an evil behemoth. It tries to funnel an increasing chunk of people's activities on the Internet, using that to help commercial companies sell you products and services you probably don't need (already questionable manipulation), and moreover - collecting huge amounts of personal and inter-personal information for the US and other governments to spy on you, and gradually also to more carefully filter and control what information you get access to.

Apparently, not because of what Google does to most people. Which is not "incredibly good". Don't go work there.

We're inferring their intentions from what we know they did. There could be different explanations to what happened, of course. Maybe they were planning to go drive towards Kiev, have the Ukrainians destroy their supply lines, and then retreat, in which case it's working exactly as planned.
Right. A disease so deadly you can't tell it apart from allergies or a cold and you need to take a test to know if you have it. Keep the fear mongering and anxiety pimping going!
Yes that's fair. My point wasn't that high inflation does not matter or that it does not affect people on higher incomes. The rate of inflation and the rate of wage increase, however doesn't necessarily need to be pegged for everyone, as the real effect of high inflation is inversely proportional to income.
The place that has solved the housing market is Vienna, in Austria. IMO they are the guys to imitate.

It seems bonkers to me that the so-called social states of the EU are letting this issue destroy young generations so hard. In Spain this problem is particularly hard, as income & savings are on a clear decline since 08, yet no one does anything.

And I mean, they are doing dog shit. Entire generations of spaniards are bleeding poor because they have to allocate >60% of their meager income to housing. All this money gets funneled:

a) To boomers. The ones who where there to buy when it was cheap.

b) To public employees. The only large group of people in Spain with decent enough income to still be buying.

c) To companies. Since 08 more and more companies are pouring their money in the market since boomers are a naturally decaying demand force, and workers from private sector are so deprived of savings and pretty much dissapearing from demand.

More and more Spaniards are giving up their inheritances because they have no income or savings to meet the burdens and taxes.

These assets end up in bank or state auctions, and those who already have capital go to the auctions and get batches of assets.

In general, a gigantic transfer of wealth from private sector workers to the groups described above is taking place in Spain.

The public debate is focusing on stupid things and/or things that we know do not work, such as limiting rents, or the problem of empty houses (empty houses are needed for a functional market, and good luck defining what an empty house is).

Meanwhile, housing demand clearly outstrips supply. And it's not just about Madrid or Barcelona, it's happening in medium sized cities too, so even if you want to escape you can't! The city councils control what land can be built on, and who gets licenses. Public housing developments are a bad joke, and private initiative is clearly not doing its job.

It is a situation that is going to explode, and despite the fact that some of us spend time warning in every possible way, it seems that nobody pays attention.

And to this must be added the fact that many Europeans with remote jobs are moving to Spain because for their level of income and savings the prices in Spain make sense, putting pressure on sale and rental prices.

This is an incipient phenomenon, but the climate, a high level of services and quality of life invite to think that it can become a serious problem (there are already cities banning vacation rentals, outright).
Neither of those estimates seem to be correct. Per https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12476264/, the prevalence is 0.018%, or around 1 in 5,500.

That doesn't mean it's impossible to observe the sex in most of these cases though, it just takes more than a quick visual check to determine.

The really tricky cases are where the individual has reproductive organs of mixed types, particularly where it involves some sort of genetic mosaicism or chimerism. These ones are where we could reasonably say that sex is only assigned and not observed, but it's very rare. Rarest of all is where someone could be plausibly regarded as both female and male.

Generally, I think it's best to avoid the terminology of "assigned at birth", because it comes with the implication that sex can be arbitrarily reassigned. Something like "incorrectly observed" would be better, in cases where a mistake has genuinely been made.

It is not that hard to file a patent application yourself, particularly a provisional patent application. In the US there is a program where new filers can get 50% or 75% off filing fees so the fees turn out to be a tiny fraction of what a lawyer will charge you just for the discussions over whether they think twitter is worth filing a patent. (Their opinion is worth something but could well be wrong because that’s mostly a question of technology and commerce, not law.)

A provisional patent application is around $60 with the discount. It is good for just one year, in which case you need to file a real patent. The PPA is a great weapon in commercial disputes however and lets you slap a ‘patent pending’ label on your product.

Nola press publishes books on how to file patents that are at most public libraries in the US, reading one of those is your next stop.
It looks as far from a data oriented language as it can be. It's yet another algol, specifically javascript/typescript variation. How does it help with joins, group bys, pivots, explodes, etc? No mention of those, just some javascript like operations.

No mention of data layout or storage, so it's just an in-memory pointer chasing thing. If I load it with a million records is it going to run out of memory?

It mentions null as the billion dollar mistake. The only problem with null is how SQL treats it in joins and rollups, otherwise there is no problem with it. Another sign that the language is targetting the wrong audience.

Hi HN, I struggle documenting complex distributed algorithms. Sequence diagrams are great for precision, but you end up with the prose on one page, explaining each step, and the reference diagram elsewhere, which is really hard to read. The readers eyes have to go back and forth long distances.

This notebook is my revelation of using interaction to limit the prose and to highlight the active step on a sequence diagram. This seems to aid in readability for me a lot.

A screen-reader doesn't replace the browser - it just responds to changes in focus by reading out a description of the currently focused item. It should be the browser that offers an option to disable autofocus.

It is one of the reason why I have a strict policy regarding dependencies:

1. Think twice before introducing a third-party dependency (including dev dependency).

2. Favor trusted dependencies with a good dependency policy.

3. Avoid dependencies with tens/hundreds of third-party (transitive) dependencies.

4. Audit mid-trusted dependencies (including their transitive dependencies).

5. Use an exact version for mid-trusted dependencies in order to avoid non-audited updates (=x.y.z).

6. Use scoped packages for new projects in order to define trust boundaries.

Part of the reason why nuclear plants cost so much is that high cost of the steam turbine and the associated heat exchangers. Potentially the mass/volume of a gas turbine based on supercritical CO2 could be 10% or less of a steam turbine but the turbo machinery is not developed for that.

bit late, but: real estate and stocks (and most gold) isn't held sovereignly, but in vaults, managed by gatekeepers. I own some stocks though a platform that manages it for me. They can force me off their system at a moments notice. Real estate is managed by the government. They can also take it away.

The first counter-argument would be that we have laws and procedures that protect most people from such actions, which is mostly true. There are however a number of clear examples where either the government or society underwent rapid change which allowed for these assets to be seized (think: revolutions, exectutive order 6102, etc).

Bitcoin (not crypto -> bitcoin) solves this through offering you the option or sovereignly hold an asset outside the control of anyone who doesn't have the private keys.

But you’re ignoring their own freedom of speech. If party A wants to voice something through party B, and party B does not want to express it, their freedoms of speech are in conflict. You cannot resolve this without one party not being allowed their freedom of speech.

And if the answer is it’s always in party B’s court, then you make the situation very difficult when it comes to social media and even direct messaging platforms between two private entities.
