> she was not in charge of her own lab at Whitehead

From her own bio at MIT (which presumably she wrote herself)

In 2018, she established her independent laboratory as a Whitehead Fellow at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and was honored with the NIH Director’s Early Independence Award.

> and she left after only a year due to her experience with Sabatini.

To me, it looks like her tenure at Whitehead was 2018-2021, through the end of her fellowship. Then she became head of another MIT-affiliated lab.

I do not think your comment reflects the truth of the matter.
Erm. Look, I can't say a lot to correct you on this for [reasons] but, believe me, these organisations are nothing like as Early Norwegian Black Metal as you're making them out to be. Esoteric Masonry is often mind numbingly boring, and I don't think any of those groups have held significant power since before WW2. Possibly since the Victorian era. And making the link to Dutroux is bullshit.

You want to see large scale occult conspiracy, I suggest looking at the Catholic Church. The various occult orders, with the possible exception of scientology, are largely Lodge 49. Once in a while something goes more "organised crime network with occult overtones" - one or two of those in the news right now - but believe me nothing paramasonic has ever taken on that character that I am aware of.
> the government will come and take away the grain below market rate

First, that rate is below what the market rate would without government farm supports. Second, the government doesn't confiscate grain. At least not in western countries.
I think Matthias Wandell was a software engineer that went into YouTube carpentry full-time but was sidelined by an injury.
I suspect this happens a lot. A place I worked at would post a job and interview candidates for a job that had already been promised to someone. They did it so that they would followed a company policy that required such actions before a job position could be filled. The policy was there so that the best candidate was always hired but humans being humans sometimes the best candidate for a position was a friend irrigarless of skills.

I suspect many people here have seen or been part of the same situation.
This is what I would always recommend in all the threads about google getting worse - it certainly gets you different results and respects your boolean modifiers.

I like devon tech, maybe it's expensive for a personal knowledge repo but at least it's a buy-once perpetual license. I bought devonthink about 4 years ago and still use it - mostly i'm impressed with how quickly I can browse my pdf library, and it makes backups easy since the databases are single files.
> A million dead in the US was always going to wreck havoc, not even counting the people in hospital.

Nearly 3 million people die every year with or without covid. If your claims were true, we would've been facing supply chains issues for decades already.

The supply chain issues are obviously man-made. The who, what, when, where, why and how is anyone's guess.

> Countries in the Middle East dependent on grain from Ukraine had absolutely no way of avoiding the war,

They should have diversified or had contingencies plan already. What have they been doing since the last crisis 10 years ago? Also, the middle east has some of the wealthiest oil producing countries in the world. Let them figure it out and if not, let them remove their imcompetent leaders.

Stallman's pronunciation sure sounds like two syllables to me... Guh-new.

It's much harder to say as a single syllable than the word "grew," which they compare it to.

I wish they had named it something better. The recursive joke doesn't help. The odd sequence of letters that are hard for most English speakers to say makes it worse. The fact that there is an actual English word with those letters, but pronounced differently, makes it even worse.

A better question may be why should MSFT be more "end user centric" with Windows? The vast majority of their Windows users didn't have a choice of which operating system to use. The OS was picked by their employer, school, parents, IT department or software compatibility requirements (gaming).
As far as I could ever tell the desktop version of QuickBooks was only some sort of Electron or WebView wrapper around the site. Not knocking it - it worked fine. But that was the main reason I was surprised when they End of Life’d the desktop version.

It's mature.

That means it's not likely to make huge breaking changes without lots of notice. Its development team isn't going to find something more interesting to do tomorrow. Lots of people know it. There are lots of libraries and tools that work with it. Its capabilities and limitations are well understood and predictable. Its future isn't tied to a single vendor. Lots of people know it.
It's not rocket science. Most wristwatches are splash proof, many are waterproof and they're still thinner than iPhones. Tight sealing has been figured out long time ago, even for rectangular shapes.
The main amazing draw to Linux in the early days was that you could renice mpg123 just enough to keep audio playing while using the computer for other things.

It could also burn a CD without freezing the system or producing a coaster.
Futures is just how farmers could pay to produce this extra 10%, assuming that everyone involved believes that farmers could deliver at less than the "raised" amount.

Futures doesn't address any of the "how do they actually do it" issues that I raised.
Yes, you can keep writing off the loss in year 4, 5, 6, etc. until you’ve earned back $997,500. So another way of looking at it is that you prepaid $250,000 of taxes. Obviously not a desired outcome, but at least a reasonably fair one.

Also worth pointing out that under the current taxes rules the exact same thing would happen if you’d sold all your shares after year two and then invested all the profits into an ill-fated second company.
I love what the Internet Archive does and I assume it pisses off many big fish. How do they get away with so much content? What guarantees are there that they're going to be able to preserve digital history in the long term?

Stellaris and Cities Skylines have incredibly detailed models that I basically never see because I always play zoomed out.
If you do dashboards and finance applications (like trading app) or any other app that requires real time and heavy interactivity, you need SPAs.

There is no other way around it.
I'm seeing that a lot too. Netflix killed piracy with price and more importantly convenience. But the extreme fragmentation of the streaming market is driving people back to the torrents. They don't want to sign up somewhere for every new show that they hear about.

The industry is killing itself this way. Netflix is just the first to take the hit because they have the largest market saturation.
Are the Damage Controlman books sensitive or something?
> No, they shouldn't look at some of the frameworks. They're all more complex than just making a bog standard SPA, which seems to be working fine for them.

Should was probably too strongly phrased, shouldn’t definitely is. The suggestion wasn’t “hey go learn a new framework, your current solution isn’t up to date” or whatever. It was really, very sincerely, “the frameworks discussed in article agree with you, you oughta keep an open mind”. Encouraging both a general, and clear area of interest, spirit of curiosity.

I don’t get the sense that you have or want that curiosity on the topic, by all means stick with what’s working and carry on.

If your comment was paired with downvote, I do want to thank you for the comment. It’s refreshing to get a perspective on why someone didn’t like something I said, when I wouldn’t have that insight otherwise.
I've been using SPAs to handle lots of complex interactions, and react makes a lot of things quite pleasant that I had to fight with in the past.

Having said that, I am very very happy to see technology move forward and give us more options. I am excited about the possibilities. Having many options to solve complex problems in simple ways is a great thing, and old down sides of each are disappearing.

Overall. Awesome.
Seriously, where did I imply the patient is in the wrong?
> and no good movie Netflix has made in years

That is very subjective. My wife and I really liked The power of the dog. And I am sure there are more.

Also subjective: watching Netflix every day (I do not) will end up in watching below par stuff. No service will be able to produce that much high quality content for everybody’s taste.
they are not upping pay, because it's not profitable. to pay ppl enough $ to entice them to do carpentry is not profitable, hence so few of them. I remember climbing a 4,000 ft mountain in a day in the hot sun..you could not pay me enough $ to ever want to do that again, and even if you could, it would never be profitable. That's why things are airlifted.
Why is solar thermal so rare?
It's not so much the existence of the flag, itself, but rather using an if-statement at the deepest-level of the call stack to conditionally modify behavior.

This talk gives a great overview of why boolean flags (rather, if-statements) can be a code smell:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F72VULWFvc

OP's blogpost advocates for data-oriented design (e.g. Entity Component Systems) as a mechanism for avoiding this, whereas the talk I've linked advocates for OOP. Both mechanisms are equally valid (imho) and are inline with widely-adopted industry practices for software architecture.
Binging happens on your terms, you can stop and resume on smaller units of time (e.g. 1h for western tv shows, 20 min for anime).

Worse case if you’re disrupted is you’d restart the eps you were on at a later and you’d lose less than an hour of watch time. Current movies go up to 3h…

I see as the same paradox as people watching Tiktok shorts for hours. Yes, in aggregate it could be more than several movies stuck together, but it’s order of magnitude less binding and requires less commitment.
The only numbers in the article show someone’s home value _doubled_, meanwhile their property tax bill went up 20% from $10,000 to $12,000. Her property had last been assessed 15 years ago. Honestly sounds like she got a pretty good deal for the last 15 years to me..
I'm sorry race is "political ideology" to you.

I am White, did some construction (in Alaska) years ago and I can assure you a Black faces an uphill battle in that scenario. Nothing political about it.

You can make a living as a carpenter, and the work is often glorious, but like lots of industries wealth is often built on the exploitation of labor. Unions have been gutted over the last 100 years, so if you want to run an honest business and earn a good income you need to do high-end work.

But who are you working for? The upper classes. Of course these lawyers, doctors, engineers, etc. are not specifically to blame, many are kind and decent human beings. But we're all living in the same system, and to put it in HN terms, we need to wipe and reinstall the OS.

Seeing more women in the trade (seems like a lot more in the last five years) does give me some sense of a positive change. As far as I can tell contractors are still quite ethnically/racially segregated though.
Not sure why you're getting downvotes, you're 100% correct.

As an outside observer into the Wild West that is California real estate, part of me wants to see Prop 13 repealed just to see what would happen. Personally, I think the only thing that would change would be property tax valuations as I believe that the effect it's had on building houses is virtually nil.

It’s talking about hiring discrimination, so that information seems relevant to me. I’d bet that a number of groups would face hiring discrimination in the trades in the US, here in Australia, etc.
Netflix has lost 200,000 and expects to lose ~2-million over the next few months under its current guidance.

Does it make sense, from an accounting point of view, to have "paid" for Bright in 2017 dollars and its 2017 cash-flow? Or does it make sense to pay for "Bright" with 2022 dollars?

Its all accounting. But next year, when Netflix is down by 2.2 million customers, Netflix's 10k statement is going to be "paying" for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 movies despite having much fewer customers.

In contrast, Disney+ or Disney loses 90% of their value in the 1st year, so Disney's accounting will only be paying for "Turning Red" this year and next year.

----------

It kind of sorta doesn't matter "how" accounting is done, as long as everyone understands it. Except because of this Netflix methodology, Netflix has effectively "borrowed future money", from an accounting perspective, to make 2017, 2018 and other years "look better".
Some good examples have been posted prior to my reply here --- I'll reiterate Archive of our Own (fanfiction) and Danbooru (anime porn) as two fairly big sites with well-maintained tagging systems.

Both sites have abundant guides and documentation about their systems and it's very interesting to see how they manage the real-world complexity of their domains.

Here are some good entry points if you're interested:

It’s unfortunate that instead of coming up with something at least a bit more sensible, they chose such an awful measure.
As a mexican, I feel the need to stop this madness.

A taco is whatever you can put inside a tortilla (not a shell; if you are eating something in a shell, unless it’s a dry thin extended tortilla, called tostada, it’s not mexican food as found in México (mexican-american, maybe)), unless it’s a quesadilla.

To be more specific, there’s the canonical taco, and there is the “pass me a tortilla and the casserole because I’m going to make me a taco”. Here, if you are holding a soft tortilla with something in it, then it’s a taco (unless it’s a quesadilla).

I’ll be taking questions now :P

PS. For those of you who think all mexican food is alike, our cuisine is inscribed in UNESCO’s world heritage intangibles list[0].

Ukraine is a big exporter of wheat and other grains. Combined with the fertilizer shortage, there's not a good way for global production to adjust in time for food security not to be an issue.
He does meet and fight John at the end, who I was referring to. But in every episode prior they never actually meet. At the police station he is juuust out of view and Frank is leaning in his chair to try and see him. At some other point they have a literal fire fight with approximate knowledge of where the other is but no visibility so they’re just blind firing through wall. Maybe some other choice moments.

It’s a very different choice than Fifth Element where their experiences are tangential to each other. The punisher guys are in active conflict, they just never get the opportunity to actually see each other face to face. Until the end. They go to some length with the camera shots to convey this.

Idk, I thought it was cool. But ultimately not capitalized on.
I am sick and tired of “X is a code smell” articles. Everything in software development depends on context. What makes perfect sense in context A makes zero sense in context B. If (for example) all you know is front-end JavaScript development then don’t make claims about anything outside of that context. Have you ever only worked in one industry? Then perhaps realise that your experience might be limited to that context. While being completely and utterly wrong in a different context. I have worked in many different contexts in my 25+ years career. AAA game development, high-performance compilers, low-powered embedded systems, typescript/react front-end development, enterprise software applications, mobile apps etc. And the #1 thing I have learned is that nothing is true or false in all contexts. Everything depends on your particular situation and context. So be aware of your limited context and perhaps think about what would no longer be true/false when you change the context.
Let's not talk about less or more. Let's just focus - for now - on who and what is. The point is, we are where we are. What got us there?

That is, it's not a matter of less regulation or more. It's a matter of we have some form of regulation and that favors some and not the other. That's not a judgement. It's a statement of fact.

The point being, too often we assume legislation / policy is neutral / agnoagnostic. That's a false assumption.

In short...whether less or more, legislation / policy is a thumb on the scale for someone, somewhere, somehow.

Why do you think it would be trivial to just increase production by 10%?
I'm amazed anyone is actually surprised by this factoid. Wealth has always wound up concentrated into a small minority of the populous. Why would it be any different with Bitcoin?

Bitcoin did not start out being distributed to "the masses" in an even manner. It was mostly picked up by folks in the tech world who typically have excess wealth to engage in speculation. Then when it went big, you had the investor class (ie: Winklevoss types) jump into the fray.

Bitcoin, stocks, SPACs, 2nd homes... It's all the same. Stuff owned by rich people.

A lot of that data probably is for sale, but think how much more powerful the VPN is when the metadata is more valuable than the probably-encrypted-anyway raw traffic:

- you can directly correlate an Onavo user's traffic to their Facebook profile for demographic and interest data which telecoms won't even know.

- if two Onavo users are both Facebook users, you can identify up-and-coming apps which pose a threat to Facebook's most valuable asset: the social network itself (the links between people, not any FB software). That includes both explicit links ("Friend" requests) as well as implicit links like mutual group memberships, mutual participation in comment threads, mutual "private" sharing of the same content, etc.

- you get a more complete picture of a person's phone habits across the entire day, not just when the Facebook app is front and center. Remember that this happened immediately after the failure of the "Facebook Home" product which provided application usage tracking by acting as an Android "Launcher" replacement.

- you get a more complete picture of up-and-coming apps' "stickiness", i.e. if a person opens the competitor app immediately when a notification comes in versus if they leave it for a while and get back to it later.

- you get a more complete picture in markets where dual-SIM phones are popular (e.g. when people might have voice/SMS service on one and pre-paid data on the other).

- you get a more complete picture in markets where people seek out Wi-Fi for high-bandwidth activities due to the expense or unavailability of unlimited mobile data.

- you can use Facebook's ad targeting system to directly push Onavo on people in markets you want to enter and dominate.
They just don't resurface... ;)

Why? The collapse was a major F-up but he broke no law. He disclosed what he was doing so no one should come after him. Crypto is mostly unregulated so people should be ready to lose all their money. Even if it's lost thru unethical means. Unethical in crypto does not equal illegal.

The government might come after him for not paying taxes but that's not related to the collapse of the cryptocurrency.
The reason I think this isn’t theoretically possible is that the bets aren’t binary. You have to specify a number. So with knowledge of the bot you could probably set up some strong priors on what they have.

I say this despite also claiming the top DL bot does this anyway and does very well.
