This is true. That’s a very large effect.

But as others have stated it’s observational, not an interventional study. Thus less rigorous.
happy to be proven wrong but i think most investors say “i have 10k, i want to buy as much bitcoin as that buys me.”

rather than “i wanna buy 1 bitcoin, regardless of price”.

atleast that’s how i think of things. in terms of dollars invested. not coins desired.

same with stocks. i say i wanna 5k in Coke stock, not 121 shares.

What I mean is the attitude of the rulers toward their own people, not other countries, these are two separate things. In Russia, you basically have a long history of peasants and common folk trying to get free and the tsars suppressing them. Finally in 1917 they managed to overthrow their ruler only to discover they had been duped again, and the red tsardom was even worse than the white one. And it basically never ended: most Russians have never had a chance to live in a free country. And for some reason they stopped rebelling [0].

It will kill captchas the same way it killed non USB-C USB ports when apple forced them on Mac.

ReCaptcha already doesn't require entering a captcha in 90% of the cases. Adding a man-in-the-middle to avoid captchas is not the solution, improving captcha technology is.
How does it make a difference? Presumably they've always been near worthless where you are anyway?
It's not voluntary. 100% of students are asked a question. In the eighties, this was entered into a classroom response system (a clicker where kids press a button on multiple choice) and an eighties-era computer would process their responses for an eighties-era dashboard, presumably using one of those $20,000 CRT projectors.

Today, it's cell phones and laptops, and they do a lot more than multiple choice. Students might be asked to highlight text in a passage (and the system shows a heatmap), to draw vectors, etc.

> As a doctor, you’re probably going to become cynical after a while.

As my go to story on these sorts of issues, my partner had an ER doctor tell them that they hadn't been stabbed. The fact that there was an open wound oozing blood and multiple witnesses was not sufficient evidence. That wound was obviously a diabetic sore. That my partner is not diabetic was also a lie and the fact that their medical records showed no history of diabetes was merely proof of the incompetence of the previous doctors. Stitching the wound had to wait for two blood sugar tests to be performed, because the first test was could only have been a machine glitch. After a second negative test for diabetes, the doctor finally conceded that he couldn't rule out a stabbing.

> We’re in a weird period of time where people are desperate to ignore any differences between races but they absolutely exist as one would expect due to different evolutionary pressures.

This isn't really the case because 'races' aren't biologically definable categories, and hence have no direct relevance to evolution. There can be correlations between a person's assigned racial category in a given culture and certain biological features, such as e.g. propensity for sickle cell anaemia. However, this is just because there can be loose correlations between this category (which is usually assigned based on superficial features of appearance and cultural characteristics) and the areas of the world where the person's ancestors hail from. No serious scientific study of human difference pays any attention to race, as it is a largely arbitrary and culturally specific construct.

>This is not a magical question, its been researched multiple times. People are less picky than they think, and we grow attached to people.

I'd really like some actual sources on this. This has not been my experience nor the experience of many people I know, at all. Both sides are pickier than ever before with instant gratification running rampant, both sides are advised not to settle too quickly. Even if I want to agree with the growing together part, I'm not getting nearly the same vibe from society pushing people to settle together as was prevalent prior to the sexual revolution.
Not directly related to this article, but it seems odd that (AFAIK) almost all the public statements by Tether come from their CTO or general counsel and not their CEO.

I never researched and never wrote that I researched. Just observed. This is your/our problem. We spend too much time here arguing.

The way you reply and what you write, you remind me of 2 memes: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ackchyually-actually-guy and https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/iq-bell-curve-midwit.
In addition to all the problems others have already noted, duck typing also loses the machine-checked documentation of explicit typing. With types, I don't have to guess what a function accepts or returns, and when I refactor, I can count on the compiler to find many issues for me.

This is not a tradeoff, where I sacrifice development speed for safety. I gain speed, because types help guide me, and catch errors I would otherwise need tests for.
Like some other commenters, I disagreed with the headline. But the article says something more subtle than 'write documentation first'. Its points are:

* Write documentation alongside, ie as you go

* Use writing English (or your language) documentation as a way to clarify your thoughts: the process of writing is a tool to ensure something is well thought through

I disagreed with the headline because I interpreted it as writing end-user documentation, effectively a very detailed specification document, up-front and then writing code to match. In reality, coding is a process of discovery, and you need the flexibility to allow the implementation to change. Your goal might be known, but the path to that goal is flexible.

The article pitches writing that goal upfront. Visicalc had a few sample formulae. Nest had a press release written. But for both, and it's explicitly called out for Visicalc, the actual user-facing documentation was written alongside the code as the product developed. This solves the problem of not having documentation ready when the product is ready, too.

In short: misleading headline, insightful article. I'd like to take its suggestion of writing docs alongside implementation as implementation develops on board myself.
and also "that civilization which tortured billions of animals in factory farms for the daily pleasure". the past and present were and are barbaric for a whole clusterfuck, we shouldn't shortsell it as a single-issue failing.
Hey! basically this product doesn't exist yet, I want to check how many people are interested to see if I should build it :)

Wasn't a question. Learn to read.
I posted a comment a few days ago here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31670689#31671551) about my views about this “feature”, which I’ll repeat verbatim here. Needless to say, it’s something I don’t like.

Original comment follows:

In my view, this would just DRM-ize everything on the web. Of course, Cloudflare and Fastly don't talk about this much, and Cloudflare keeps assuring you'll still get captchas if device attestation fails or is unsupported. But realistically, once all Microsoft, Google and Apple implement it in their devices, there isn't much of a reason to keep accepting non-attested devices.
You can already see where this is starting to go - if you're using Linux/BSD or another niche OS, congratulations, you can't submit forms any more. And since device verification would become extremely cheap to perform this way, you'd also see websites protected entirely by this tech, effectively locking out Linux/BSD users.
The Cloudflare article also talks about how, at least in the case of Apple, they'd run something like a posture assessment to confirm that your device components are genuine. I can also see this new tech locking out users of non-OEM repairs.
This is a much bigger deal than what it seems like on the surface, and I'm genuinely scared about how this one simple move dwarfs all of the "evil" things that big tech has done so far.
> assuming that their fingerprints are not copied by an attacker

> assuming that the password was not obtained through a post-it, coercion, phishing, guessing or any other password extraction method

If we're happy to make such assumptions, then we can remove security entirely: just assume that actions are authorised!

Less tongue-in-cheek: we should try to avoid making such assumptions in the first place. For example, saying "this action was authorised by the presence of an administrator" is setting us up for failure: that's a hard thing to ensure, and also relies on fuzzy concepts like "presence".

Instead, there's nothing wrong with saying "this action was authorised by the fingerprint scanner matching the admin account": it's a more accurate statement, it doesn't hide any vulnerabilities, and it doesn't rely on any fuzzy concepts; e.g. we're not talking about humans, fingers, etc. we're only talking about accounts and hardware devices.
I think a federal us property tax makes sense. In fact the rest of the world needs real estate property taxes similar to us states. But taking equity as a tax makes no sense, that’s communism. capitalist governments just take the profits without the burden of running the company. If government owns the company, there is no tax, as the employees are then paid by the government (a negative tax). All government employees have a negative effective tax rate equal to their take home income.
I can say that me personally found Hinge much more effective in finding someone than all the other apps. Among my friends is the one with highest success rate of long term relationships. I’ve gotten hookups or short lived stuff on Bumble, nothing I’d call luck off of tinder. We’ve all been trying to figure out what makes Hinge different and we think is that you get a lot of information when someone makes a comment on one of your posts (pictures, facts, whatever) that lets you select much faster than a simple empty match with no info.

Bonus: it's far easier to electrify or improve 1 delivery truck than it is the 100 cars it's displacing.
No, it only means that the device reported a match; or, that a match signal came in on a certain hardware port (since the scanner may have been replaced, tamperered with, etc.).

The idiom about cutting off your nose to spite your face comes to mind.
That's why I have an "assumptions" part. It doesn't matter though, it will depend on the implementation of the fingerprint scanner.

The gist is, a password and a fingerprint are not the same thing. Fingerprint is not a weaker password or anything like that, they have different properties and as a result they have different pros and cons. For example, no one can copy your fingerprint by looking over your shoulder - unlike a password.
This reminds me of the debate of the origins of the Universe.
Some religions maintained that the Universe at some point did not exist.
Some scientists up to very recently maintained (perhaps in opposition to religious views) that the Universe always existed.

I'm of the view that animals are a lot smarter than we'd regularly think, but that there is indeed something very special about human intelligence.

My prediction would be that we won't be able to uplift even a chimpanzee.

And that would be an awesome and debate ending experiment -- if human intelligence is nothing special and it's just a few mutations away from a chimpanzee, just patch the chimpanzee genome with the intelligence genes and see what happens.
Some techniques for downsampling point clouds use voxelgrid representations but in general you're mapping pixel data from varied images to each other in space and producing points from that to try and capture surface geometry.

A Plea for the Animals,
Eating Animals,
or Animal Liberation

I’d start with Eating Animals. The author started the book to explore how his food ends up on his plate, but the book becomes about his gradual transition to veganism as he learns about animal agriculture.

A Plea for the Animals should be the second one. Written by a neurologist/monk who eloquently makes the argument that there is nothing in our biology which justifies subjugating animal.

Then Animal Liberation if you’re looking for a classic. It’s older, a bit more esoteric, but decent.
Without a high refresh rate, there is no hope in using e-ink as a general computing device. Even with the refresh rate they lag so far behind regular screens in other ways as to not be a solid choice over most.

However, there are already great niche applications within the e-ink notebook space. Make fantastic portable and editable note taking machines and with a nice external keyboard can be great devices for writers - integrated mind mapping, live edit, image clipping, long bettery life and great on the eyes.

I was looking into finding an e-ink display semi-dumb phone that could just just read articles and use basic messaging such as: Card Keitai and Light Phone II. But like a laptop with e-ink I worry about rerfresh rate and long term software support.

I think there are so many possibilites for accessory and lifestyle devices for e-ink. But at the moment, a laptop to use as your daily is not one of them.
