That’s one approach to profit, called “fractional reserve”.

Typically, people who want a 1-1 backed coin are uncomfortable with that model… so you instead take profit on the issuance: you charge $1.05 to issue $1 in tokens (while keeping $1 in the vault) — a process called seigniorage.

No, I’m more cautioning against using summary statistics in isolation without looking at the raw data.

I was more responding to the statement that one can “see” the shape of data through them and not needing visual tools. The lens of summary statistics is a very narrow one — it’s a necessary but almost always insufficient one. Even .ilocs are insufficient —- it’s hard to know what to .iloc for. One really needs to browse the data interactively to get a good sense of it.

>Very complicated topic.

This is very true. Data availability (and moreso, label availability) is the biggest barrier to improvement here I suspect [ thanks for labeling!]. Access being another. Using a public site to bootstrap that could do very interesting things. On the other hand, public access to a poorly RA/QA'd algorithm could also cause more trouble than help, easily.
Assuming that you have found a real phenomenon where people who are ranked poorly on this proxy (but presumably high in some other metric) are undervalued,
then you should start a company that identifies these people and

first-order: employs them to build something at a lower cost than the market would expect

second-order: convince non-FAANGy companies that you can identify employees who are lower-cost and higher-value, thus starting an evaluation and matching business

third-order: write a business book about evaluating people better than leetcode-like methods
Yeah, we've thought a bit about a plugin API - for the reasons you say, I think it would be an awesome feature to open up to teams!

Any tips on going about it? No need to share the secret sauce, unless you want :P

To be totally honest, we're not architected super well to support plugins currently. The big challenge would be allowing users to specify this plugin in pure Python (seems like we want this) - but we think that hand-coded UIs outperform autogenerated ones for now. We've been thinking about how to do better though... maybe soon.

Of course, if Mito is missing features, we're open source [1] -- all contributions are welcome! Also feel free to open an issue and we can discuss :)

What you're describing is functionally exactly the same as civil forfeiture that everyone is complaining about!

Civil forfeiture works fine for this case, which is the whole point, because indeed neither will Bob be able to demonstrate it's really his, nor will Alice be arriving to collect.

Where it all goes wrong in other cases is "Bob claim it's his and applies for a writ". i.e. it becomes Bob's responsibility to prove his ownership in court, rather than the government's job to prove anything at all.

i.e. the government performs an administrative seizure without any proof obligation, and then reverses the burden of proof onto the person from whom the assets were seized

In the real world, for small-time asset forfeiture, the amount involved is too small to be worth the effort; or Bob often doesn't have the money for a lawyer to bring that action; or this all happens while he's traveling away from home, so the court appearances are going to involve air fare, time off work etc. Or Bob is presented with the problem of proving something that is difficult to evidence, like "I have been saving this shoebox full of cash in the closet for a long time for my daughter's quinceañera"[1].

Ultimately, yes, due process is available but it's not free, it's not low-friction, and it's many a time not worth it.

Even if you make it through the interview process, you're going to be working for people who cargo cult their business practices and surrounded by coworkers who are willing to spend vast amounts of energy on stupid things to accomplish their goals.

It's a massively negative indicator for company culture imo.

We both agree with what’s going on and that it’s wrong.

I am saying the court system is misclassifying criminal cases as civil ones. You want to increase the standard of evidence which IMO means roughly the same thing. But, I can see why you might disagree.

Absolutely-fucking-not.

Law enforcement should never be able to seize property without the charging of a crime when they know who owns the property.
In my experience CentOS basically let you get all the security benefits from RHEL with none of the costs. So it has been popular to minimize budgets.
First thing I noticed was the awesome node ui and went to your package.json to see what library you used... nope, you made your own, lol. Awesome! I've been looking for a good react/js node-graph library with a lot of customization around nodes/edges and good hierarchical auto-layout and the best I've found so far is https://reactflow.dev/ but some of the features I need are behind a pro-license. I hadn't considered trying to write my own, it doesn't seem like a trivial task, lol. Anyway, awesome work on this app!
Not to dismiss your concerns, but you're not really paying 40% since presumable a seller is only buying one of those plugins since they're either running on Shopify or BigCommerce (not both).

So if I have a BigCommerce store and you only support Shopify you just wouldn't get my sale, right? By supporting multiple platforms you're increasing the pool pf potential customers, not increasing the percent you pay.

Or am I misunderstanding how you arrived at 40%?

This topic (breast screening) is a good example due to the sheer scale. If you increase the work-up rate by even a smallish amount, you are statistically pretty much guaranteed to kill people who did not have the disease. How this balances about gain (i.e. save other lives) is not obvious. Figuring out the "right" way to do this is real work.

Ask HN: Why are job reqs trending so senior?
I've been keeping an eye on the job market trying to help some early-career friends find new or first jobs. It seems like almost every company only has "Senior" or "Staff" job reqs posted.

Is the junior / new-grad market so crowded with potential hires that those roles get filled immediately? Or is there something else that explains the seniority trend?
This is a real scenario that happens regularly.
I believe both things are true, but I'm going to have to hunt for some sources

It's typical in non-gaming teams to have any instinct to optimize beaten out of you instead of guided.

Knuth's comments about premature optimization have been so misquoted at this point that we've gone way beyond people using it as permission not to think, they also use it as a mandate to stop other people from thinking as well.

Academics are particularly bad at falling back on aphorisms, so how one would change the curriculum to fix this would also involve changing the teachers, which as an automatic conversation killer.

In my case I was keeping my own council before anyone tried to beat it out of me, and I learned to just keep things to myself. On the plus side I know dozens of ways to refactor for legibility and 'accidentally' improve performance at the same time.

Absolutely. Those studies show no improved survival across cohorts. Not for individuals. My only chance of living is to know. That's worth it for me.

I mean, plus I have extreme health anxiety, and I've had doctors say "nah you're too young, we don't need to test for that" and later it turned out I did have kidney failure at 35.
I'm legitimately very happy for you. But the thing is, even though I am absolutely too reliant on my devices and on tech in general, I like my stuff. It is possible for me to disengage if I need to, and I have taken steps to do that more often. I've been in situations with little or limited internet and it's not ideal and can be frustrating, but I can do it.

But the idea of being on vacation and unable to watch TV or a movie, stream a video, catch up on my podcasts, stream music, chat with my friends, play a game, or get stuck in some dumb Wikipedia k-hole at 2:00 in the morning, has absolutely no appeal. Yes, a lot of that stuff could be off-loaded to being done offline. I could pre-download videos, podcasts and albums. I could pack a ton of physical books or just download my Kindle library to my Onyx Boox or my Kindle Oasis (I genuinely prefer reading on an e-reader than on paper books because I like having the ability to switch between books and I'm a fast and voracious reader who often reads multiple books at a time -- and I've been that way since I was a child), but I would still resent not having internet access or a TV on my vacation.

But that's me. For better or worse, I am a very connected person, and I don't find a ton of comfort being disconnected. I pitched a number of magazines a story about me going to one of those extreme digital detox places (that don't allow any electronic devices of any type, so no Kindle, no offline music player, nothing) and documenting my descent into madness (or maybe enlightenment) a number of years ago, but no one bit. The bottom line is, the only way I would ever do something like this, willingly, would be because it would be funny to punish myself that way and because it would be a good story to tell. But as an actual vacation prospect, no. This whole concept just makes me more anxious and stressed than if I went to a nice resort where I could delete my work apps off my phone and enjoy Instagram on the beach with a Mai Tai.
This is probably going to be an extremely unpopular opinion, but it's based off my experiences.

SV-tech culture was attractive in the mid-late 90s when new things were actually being built and innovated, but today it seems many are just rent seeking near-monopolists that exist to sell ads. Working for a near-monopolistic advertiser with stupid hiring practices just isn't something I would want to do, or dedicate my life's work to.

If you want to use your talents in a way to make humanity better in some small way, advertising isn't it. I would recommend going into another industry and company that values tech skills, but doesn't cargo cult like SV type companies do. Almost all the code you write will probably matter and be used by people. In my 20+ years of development, I've had a total of one project shelved, and that was due to an M&A.

You have a pretty good chance of creating new products as well rather than just doing maintenance tasks (although you will do plenty of that too). Most SV type companies seem overcrowded and mostly out of ideas, at least significant ones. There are of course exceptions, but like I said, I see a lot of rent-seeking from the big boys.

If you're just into it for the money, SV type companies are probably your best bet, at least for a couple of years until you're financially set. Also, it helps to have at least one big name on your resume. You can earn plenty of money in other industries too.
My key takeaways:

* The free AI breast cancer detection website took coolwulf about three months of spare time, sometime he had to sleep in his office to get things done, before the site finally went live in 2018

* The website also gained a lot of attention from the industry, during which many domestic and foreign medical institutions, such as Fudan University Hospital, expressed their gratitude to him by email and were willing to provide financial and technical support

* Afterwards, he and Weiguo Lu, now a tenured professor at University of Texas Southwest Medical Center, founded two software companies targeting the radiotherapy and started working on product development for cancer radiotherapy and artificial intelligence technologies

* But in 2022, he returned with an even more important "brain cancer project"

* coolwulf (Hao Jiang) (right) He told us that his parents are not medical professionals, and his interest in programming was fostered from a young age

* A reliable AI for tumor detection can enable a large number of patients who cannot seek adequate medical diagnosis in time to know the condition earlier or provide a secondary opinion

* He said that he’s not sure actually how many people have used it because the data is not saved on the server due to patient privacy concerns

So this is accurate in my opinion, but you're essentially saying the quiet part out loud. You're saying the war has nothing to do with saving Ukraine, but rather protecting the hegemony of the US dollar.

I suspect if everybody understood that's what we're really concerned with, support for Ukraine would drop precipitously.

Posting this because it increased my quality of sleep (life) a lot: wax earplugs. Regular earplugs are uncomfortable as hell and really hard to sleep in. The wax ones are perfectly comfortable and work better. I had to start using earplugs when I met my now-wife because she snores quite a bit. The wax ones were a life saver after a year of really uncomfortable regular ones.

That is a legitimate concern, but irrelevant to the trilemma you've mentioned.

If USDC loses value, those vaults will be liquidated and the collateral will shift over to alternates - ie. eth. The scenario you are mentioning only plays out if USDC falls so much (and quickly enough that the auction bots don't respond) that it cancels out the overcollateralization from eth. given that dai is 166% collateralized, it wpuld have to drop a ton, which is difficult to imagine when it is credibly backed by real assets.
Extremely important, and is the most important question to ask in any screening scenario.

It's not the case the more screening is always better. There are plenty of screening regimes that you've never heard about because the trial data didn't support it.
The Civil War in America absolutely dominated the British national conversation, especially in the early years of the war. Politicians followed the conflict closely, and there were even several debates in Parliament over British policy toward the conflict.

Frequently discussed was a line that a lot of Americans would recognize today, of "when should Britain get involved??" because of the destructiveness of the conflict. Prime Minister Palmerston & Foreign Secretary Russell spent a lot of time maneuvering and deflecting calls for Britain to get involved or pick a side.

A few other bits I found surprising when studying this topic—

1. Some British MPs were very pro-Confederate, and pushed for recognition of the Confederacy as a real country in Parliament.
2. British war correspondents were on the ground with both Union and Confederate armies, and sent regular dispatches to British newspapers.
3. British (and other European) officers regularly volunteered on *both* sides.
4. It was fashionable for a time in Britain to be pro-Confederate. Confederate propagandist networks *in* Britain brilliantly played down slavery and played up "self-determination".
5. Britain nearly declared war on the Union (Trent affair), to the point that Royal Navy was just waiting for the go-signal to commence hostilities & Britain sent thousands of additional troops to Canada.
6. There were *tons* of ironclads already in European fleets, there had just never been a fight between ironclads! Europeans watched the Monitor v. Merrimack battle & adapted their fleets & battle doctrines accordingly.
7. The British cabinet had a very serious, "can we even win a war against the U.S. anymore?" conversation at the end of the conflict, after witnessing the million-man army of the Union, the Richmond campaign, and growing effectiveness of the U.S. Navy.
8. Americans credit Seward as a brilliant Secretary of State during the conflict, but in Britain and France he was considered foolish, dangerous, and unpredictable—a lot of the tension between the Union and Europe can be laid at his feet.
9. Prussian military observers watched how the Union used railroads to move massive numbers of troops & supplies around, and adopted a lot of the Union tactics to absolutely crush the French just a few years later. (Franco-Prussian war of 1870.) Seriously - there were European observers *all over the place*.

Strongly recommend A World on Fire: Britain's Crucial Role in the American Civil War by Amanda Foreman. Brilliant book, and a page-turner.
> I harbor some serious doubts about the accuracy of this approach and I can't help but shake the notion that the first patient they saw might not have all of the pertinent information recorded an hour or two after the exam.

You would be correct.

> Finally, as an overall generalization, doctors don't like being told what to do or how to do it, and that goes double for computers. They don't care about your needs to maintain a secure IT platform and will do anything in their power to circumvent anything that they don't personal feel is necessary. Better to engage them early in the process, figure out their patterns, and learn how to work with them because going up against them is likely to be a losing battle.

I'll give the opposite advice: engage with the buyer. At the end of the contract, he's the one paying and deciding whether or not the software is worth something. Sadly, the objectives of the buyer might not completely align with the provider, but that's an internal issue: as a consultant and an external contractor there's very little you can do. Also, never work for a healthcare organization as an FTE.
