I'm honestly baffled someone could be "losing confidence in Amazon" in 2022. Sorry for the expression but like, where the f** have you been? I thought everybody already knows how horrible Amazon is in its absolute, demonic entirety.

This company always felt wrong. Like a shitty bootleg toy shop. Like a shady back-alley dealer. Like a cheap Chinese (sorry, it's a popular pejorative here) scam site. Strewn with knock-offs, bootlegs, mass fake reviews, terrible customer service. Oh and the site always felt really, really off in UI and UX, it's still like that.
Later in life I (unfortunately) became more aware of the world around me, became a programmer and so on. But my sentiment starts way earlier than AWS.

Here in Poland (born&living) it's Allegro that was always our Amazon & eBay. Was (and still is) above and beyond the Bezos-ian quality of service. I'm almost sure people still almost never use Amazon here. For the longest time we'd have to use amazon.de for buying stuff if you want it shipped to Poland. I think that's not the case anymore but yeah... uncanny.

BTW I wouldn't be surprised if AWS was the most popular of all services offered by Bezos Co. in Poland.
A single fully inbred strain of mouse was used in this study—C57BL/6J. And only females.
This is as if the FDA tested a drug in one human and then said—“Good to go.” Ridiculous.

Please before you recommend these studies to HN look at the methods section and evaluate the animal model. Any study using only one type of mouse or rat is just a pretty Potemkin village. Results are neither robust within the species nor are the translatable to humans.

When our group studies longevity and diet in mice we use 40 to 80 different types of mice.

See SR Roy, EG Williams, RW Williams, DG Ashbrook, K Mozhui 2021 in Nature Metabolism, Cell Systems, Aging Cell, eLife and bioRxiv for examples of how it should be done.
Actually, I would say that coming up with the rules constitutes planning, whereas negotiating who drives first each time constitutes a comparative lack of planning (and of rules). To me the parable rather demonstrates a case where planning (to decide actual rules) would be worth the extra time, because it saves time each time the rules are applied. The parable thus didn’t work for me, although I largely agree with the conclusion.
My possibly incorrect laymen understanding is that nicotine’s effect as a stimulant causes your heart to work harder, but unlike with cardiovascular exercise, your oxygen levels are not also increased. So rather than strengthening your heart nicotine simply taxes it.

Is there that much difference between a series of questions and a series of subjects ? I am assuming it's not really "pick any subject you like" , because most subjects are going to be absolutely useless to ranking the candidate -- it's going to be "pick a subject from a list of these subjects".

And there is a reason most _interviewee_ guides tell you to always be honest and say "I don't know". That's to kickstart the discussion/next question as soon as possible rather than unnecessarily get stuck in the "bullshitting" phase that helps no one. It's rather common to encourage this, not a rare thing.
The SaaS pricing model doesn't mean just one thing, so you should probably define what you mean.

As commonly practiced, if you stop subscribing, you lose all access to the software (or get bumped down to the functionality of some free version). This moves a large portion of the risk of developing a new version from the developers to the customers. If the customers don't like the new version, it's not easy for them to switch; and as commonly practiced, they often can't continue using the old version.

I do agree that the JetBrains model aligns both developer and consumer interests. JetBrains carries the risk of developing the new version. If customers don't like it, they can unsubscribe and continue using their existing software.

My understanding is that Amtrak is supposed to get priority if the Amtrak train is on schedule. That is often not the case.
You can program a tank, or team of tanks, to fight each other.

Each tank can move, scan other tanks and shoot.

Your tank has hit points and shooting a bullet decreases your hit points by the amount of firepower you used.

Bullets are particles that move over time, so you have to shoot not at where other tanks are but where they are going to be at based on their last position seen on radar.
I read this a lot. But I've also read the opposite: that it's hard to find effects demonstrated in smaller mammals that don't also hold in humans.

What are examples of findings from mice that haven't held up in human populations?
I've also tried microdosing for a few weeks and generally agree with your take. However I still don't feel confident gauging how much placebo effect is part of it.

Approaching microdosing as you mention (and as I did) - with a clear goal and very intentionally is the key. But I could never really tell if I made the choices I wanted (not eating a candy bar or something) because the LSD was affecting my thinking or because I had taken the time to set my intentions clearly for the day. Would doing the ritual of microdosing but not taking the LSD have the same effect? I'm not sure. I found the LSD acts as a symbol and a way to signify the day as meaningful and keep my intentions top of mind. Parsing out what part of "success" was attributable to the chemicals and what was attributable to the ritual is very difficult. But in the end, does it matter how it works if it helped change habits?
There are a _ton_ of successful f2p games with reasonable monetization models - Valorant, CSGO, Warzone, Dota, Path of Exile, Lost Ark, Hearthstone, etc. It's just that games in general are a power law industry - I don't think monetization model is really what will prevent a game from being successful. In fact, much of the discourse around Immortal is that the gameplay itself is in fact top notch. Blizzard has the dedicated fanbase to make a healthy profit and more with a reasonable cash shop - they don't _need_ to resort to these extremely cash-grabby mechanics.
I didn't say quic itself was -- if quic had been introduced completely independently of http then sure, that's fine. But it was introduced intermingled with making yet another drastic change to a backbone protocol of the internet.

Considering HTTP/1.1 stood for over 15 years before http/2 came along (and was a pretty modest improvement over http/1.0 compared to what we're talking about now, so I'm being generous by not saying over 20 years). http/2 had only been promoted to a proposed standard for 3 before http/3 was proposed. That, to me, is a very aggressive process. But again, it's the relationship to http that bothers me, not the standardization process for quic itself.

Hehe, yeah, I did something similar later, using game score as the fitness score (so still a chance of breeding even though you didn't win) in a kind of tournament selection. The problem is each generation then takes loads of time to simulate, compared to just observing their behavior for a short time.

But that worked much better as a fitness score, yes. It's very true that what you measure is what will be optimized for. Both for employees and robots.
So if I understand correctly, you are saying there are two scenarios:

1. Father working full-time, mother staying-at-home for a few years

2. Father and mother working both reduced hours

Your conclusion is that sum of wages accumulated over the career length of both the father and the mother is higher in scenario 1 than in scenario 2?

If that's the case, then first of all I doubt that's true. And second, that means we as a society are sacrificing gender equality in return for disposable income. I think gender equality is not worth a small increase in disposable income (and I don't even think that staying at home economically is the better choice).

I've fallen in love with Python's asyncio for some time now, but I know that go has coroutines integrated as a first class citizen.

This article (which I have not read but just skimmed) made me search for a simple example, and I landed at "A Tour of Go - Goroutines"[0]

That is one of the cleanest examples I've ever seen on this topic, and it shows just how well integrated they are in the language.

Not even lower prices, but even to continue the current prices of Uber and Lyft (without burning VC cash), automation is needed. Even with the low pay for human drivers today, that's still too much for the prices charged by ride sharing to be sustainable.

From quick googling the odds of winning powerball is on the order of e-10, while unicorn startups of valuations above 1 billion have a success rate on the order of e-5.

Your comment is true, startup equity is more likely than a lotto ticket so it's not the best analogy.

You definitely do not want a simple system if your singular goal is resiliency. The most resilient systems we know about are all complex, from ecosystems to organisms to cities to the internet itself. The main problem is that our current toolkit is so primitive that understanding anything about them, from how to intelligently intervene to how resilient any particular system is at any particular point in time is damn near impossible. There's a lot of research trying to change that, but it's obviously a difficult problem.
I'm pleased you enjoyed it. We can bandy words all we like, but it won't change the fact that we descend equally from mothers as well as fathers. By analogy, the fact that Kievan Rus' was founded by Vikings doesn't make the Russian people essentially Norse in some kind of metaphysical sense.

Or it is just a lack of power to determine if the difference is considered significant. A study like this provides an estimate of the effect size of treatment. If the effect is modestly positive it will often be stated to be statistically insignificantly different from no effect or placebo effect.
When stretched, the length of the rope will be two straight lines plus part of the circle. The length of the segment can be calculated using a formula for horizon. Then we can create an equation: (s arc distance to horizon for h)*2 + delta = (d straight Distance to horizon for h)*2, or d-s-delta/2=0.

d=sqrt(h(2R+h)) km/m (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon#Approximation )

s=R*arccos(R/(R+h)) (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon#Arc_distance )

sqrt(h(2R+h))-R*arccos(R/(R+h))-delta = 0

6 foots is about 2 meters.

sqrt(h(2*6371000+h))-6371000*arccos(6371000/(6371000+h))-2 = 0

h=306m

> I'm sure there's people who do meth recreationally that say the same thing about my fairly small dosage but daily adderall usage.

Sola dosis facit venenum (The dose makes the poison)

Also, Adderall (Amphetamine) != Methamphetamine. That is like saying Ethylene Glycol (a common car anti-freeze) is the same as Ethanol (drinking alcohol) or that Peroxide is the same as distilled water. In fact, the substances I listed above are more molecularly similar than methamphetamine and amphetamine.

From my understanding, meth made in quality controlled, lab tested, legally controlled, and medically administered and monitored dosages has amazing results for the conditions it treats. Commonly, dosages are in the 2mg - 20mg range vs. the multiple GRAMS of meth + whatever leftover reaction byproducts in recreational usages.

Also, stimulant medications have a higher safety profile than many OTC medications, so take that for what it's worth.

At the time (~1999) digital photography was starting to take shape on the consumer side, the only option for viewing digital photos was on a CRT computer screen. Also at the time, the idea of anyone other than “nerds” having a computer and wanting to view photos on them was completely foreign to executives in the company (this was the overwhelmingly popular view of almost everyone at the time, not just Kodak executives). IMO, this was by far the primary issue that caused Kodak to miss out.

The Roman Empire example that the article goes into is more interesting than it makes out, and can be an example of the wrong sort of redundancy being applied to a problem.

The reforms in the 3rd century were not just an increase in taxes, but a restructuring of society to keep the army strong. Price controls were placed on goods to make sure that people and the state would always have reliable access to goods. Tax collection on private property was formalized and made much higher. Peasants were bound to the land to make sure they always were able to produce. This makes sense based on the view the Emperor had of the empire: an empire is like an army, so this strict control should boost resilience and redundancy.

The tax collection was incredibly onerous and led to a lot of small estates going under. The price controls didn't work at all, in part because it didn't understand that price differences can be caused by things other than greed. The remaining landowners increasingly pulled out of the money economy and the cities and instead focused more on their own estates and the newly bound peasants. It is often stated as the starting point of feudalism, and ultimately did more to weaken the empire's structure than sustain it.

When you ask for redundancy, it's important to think about what kind of redundancy you want, and who it serves.

Chemotherapy for 3-4 months is around $200,000 - $400,000.

You will not see a price reduction, if it doesn't require chemotherapy or significantly reduces the number of rounds of chemotherapy, this drug will cost $150k+ for full treatment.

All of this assumes side effects are better than chemotherapy. Given chemotherapy care plans are some of the most arduous, it will be hard to be worse than chemo.
The customer might want to buy a product, and the studio might want to make it, but isn’t there someone they forgot to ask?

Business models that are lower-risk and higher-return are systematically preferred by investors. Games are expensive to make. FromSoft has been successful enough to stay in business for now. They’ll always be in competition with studios that sacrifice product quality for profitability. Many studios literally cannot afford to do things their way.

It's weird how often people read a headline and interpret "may reverse signs of aging" as "go out right and much on the sand-gummies, you'll definitely live forever."

> There has always been financial fraud, but the thing I find particularly gross here is the large scale participation of retail investors.

Go back in financial history to the 1920s, and you'll see the same kinds of startup scams peddled to the public. Which is why most of them were criminalized in the US in the 1930s.

There's not much originality in the financial fraud field. Most of the large-scale scams were developed in the 19th century [1]. You need some kind of mass medium to scam large numbers of people, so, while scams go back far further, scams at scale had to await the development of newspaper printing presses.

If you know about Madoff, Enron, Milken, Amway, Florida real estate, Ponzi, the Mississippi Bubble, Tulip mania, and bucket shops, you can match most crypto schemes to one of those. This should be covered in schools.

LeekWars has been around for a while now. I remember having a blast playing it with colleagues at least 10 years ago.

From memory, as you level you get access to more and more API features. A good way to have a stronger leek was to manage to implement algorithms before they were officialy available to you through the API. Ex: instead of waiting to level up to get access to A* pathfinding, you could get a huge advantage against other leeks by implementing it yourself within the memory and cycle constraints you were given for your AI code.

Happy to see it's still apparently going strong...
