MLOps is about enabling reproducibility of previous outputs; it has nothing to do with reinforcing any pattern. It's literally "DevOps for Data Science". It's also a sane set of best practices to follow even if you're working on an optimisation case.

It does say in the article that 20% nest in the pine and 16% in cypress trees.

> His theory is that the agricultural practices of early settlers, which cleared trees, created a population explosion of the milkweed that is the host plant of monarchs. More milkweeds resulted in more monarchs and monarchs began to migrate in response to population pressure, he believes.

So it sounds like it was all pine in that area, deforestation created an environment for monarchs, and they moved in. Monarchs are not native to the area, so I'm not sure that they can be used as a defence to keep all the eucalyptus.

“can actually make it possible to generate positive returns at the portfolio level, even when all of the portfolio’s individual holdings are expected to produce zero, or even negative, returns over time.” -False

The illusion comes from the fact that, for small n you can flip heads and tails the same number of times and still have over half the money you started with - whereas with the invest all strategy you would have lost everything. For a fair coin, as n approaches infinity you still win nothing either way though. That graph is completely misleading. We can represent the amount won as the recursive sequence

X_(n+1) = X_n + (X_n)/2

def recursive_sequence(n):

""" Money won after winning n times in a row"""

result = 1 # money we start with

rebalance_ratio = .5

for i in range(0,n):

result += result*rebalance_ratio

return result

for i in range(1,10):

temp_profit = recursive_sequence(i)

net = temp_profit / 2**i # assuming you loose as many times as you won after

percent = abs((temp_profit-1))*100

print(f"savings after {i} heads:", recursive_sequence(i), f"\npercent profit: {percent}","\n....money after loosing n times after: ", net, "\n")

You can see what this gives for a rebalance ratio of 0.5. Anything more or less just increases or decreases your volatility. “How returns can be created out of thin air” is literally a scam - not true. That’s a tulip bubble. Sure you can get rich off one if you fool enough people. You need to flip a coin 2^(n+1) – 2 times to get heads n times in a row. Same for tails… Your “rebalancing” is only increasing the number of attempts it takes to not win anything ie. the time you waste flipping coins instead of spending time with people. I feel embarrassed for spending as much time as I did on this. At least I learned something…
savings after 1 heads: 1.5
percent profit: 50.0
....money after loosing n times after: 0.75

Dell will have to learn the hard way to not take away ESC and physical function keys and replace those with gimmicks, just as Apple laudably corrected their erratic venture into "thin, iconic, blabla" but unusable notebooks with their current line up (though they may actually have gone a little too far in the bulky boxes direction). My 2016 XPS was fantastic because it was a stealthy fully usable pro device (modulo necessary concessions towards cooling); the last-gen (2020ish) XPSs were still ok if compromising on ports too much. This one is a hard pass.

Indeed, the papal states were a fascinating institution. From a link in the submitted article:

> It is easy to forget that even if its political constitution was at odds with Europe’s ascendant liberalism, the Papal States of the 19th century was a fully functioning, modern state. Secchi contributed much to its welfare, helping with the construction of electric railways, installing lightning rods on important buildings, coming up with a system for the lighthouses in the ports and ensuring drinking water was potable. He supervised a precise geodetic survey along the Appian Way that became the basis for accurate maps of the region.

I don't think so? The wannabe dictator only gets voting power from his dying ancestors, they can never get more voting power than all their ancestors had together, no matter how much they wait. And even that edge case would only happen if all their ancestors died and had no other living descendants.

The idea of people living that long doesn't sound outrageous. Asian American women today have an average life expectancy of 89 years. That's the average.

But this shit

> One Ikarian in particular, Stamatis Moraitis, moved to America when he was 22 years old to pursue the American dream. He was a painter, and immediately started having success, bought a house, married, and had 3 kids. At the age of 66 years, he developed terminal lung cancer. Instead of dying in America, he decided to move back to Ikaria and moved in with his parents. He started breathing the air, drinking the wine, and eating a Mediterranean diet. After a few months, he planted a garden not planning on ever getting to harvest the vegetables; 37 years later he has a vineyard producing 200 L of wine a year. His secret he says? “I just forgot to die.”

It's poorly communicated, but it is a real effect. You're effectively moving money from the very rare case where you win a thousand times in a row to the common case where you don't. So instead of having vanishingly rare cases where you have all the money in the universe, and common cases where you go bankrupt you have a median case where you make a little money, rare cases where you make a 2x return or similar, and common but a minority of cases where you lose most of your money.

The key is that the game (1.5 vs 0.66) has a positive arithmetic expectation and zero geometric expectation, so you should be able to profit from it somehow. Do it with a double or nothing game and you always lose because the geometric expectation is negative infinity and arithmetic is zero.

Bill Clinton has exactly this reputation, for being absolutely magnetic with people he meets.

Here's Gillian Anderson (X-Files):

> She recalled meeting former President Bill Clinton back on his campaign trail in 1992 during a chat. She found herself attending a luncheon with the prez-to-be 30 years ago. Anderson remembered being so awestruck by Clinton, that she wanted him to phone her afterwards. “He did the most miraculous thing in the world, he shakes your hand, then he grabs your elbow and at the same time he holds your arm further up.”

> The “X-Files” actress went on, “[It was a] slightly intimate little thing. [He] makes eye contact. And he moves on to the next person. Then he looks back at you.”

> Anderson then described that their meetup was a thing that the politician did to everyone that he comes across. However, she still expected a phone call from him afterwards. “I went home, I thought – this was in the days of answering machines – I literally thought that I was going to go home to a message from him,” she added. “I did. It was that real.”

Because it's worth nothing in comparison. I'll say the thing others won't: real engineering is about creating value through constraint fitting. Web development is more engineering than this formal engineering. Better constraint fitting. Greater value created. Better engineers.

Video game logic leads people to believe hard => valuable. But the real world is different. Valuable => valuable.

But that's also kind of gauche to say because it's a bit of punching down. The tradition in society is to say kind things about those who have to work hard and produce little value. "The janitors are the real backbone of America" and so on and so forth. Absent value we must feed them platitudes so that they can clothe themselves in shreds of dignity.

Occasionally, though, it's worthwhile to look at the truth. Which is most definitely revealed in our revealed preferences. How much would you spend on this occupation if you started a company?
Ive never posted on glassdoor because its basically impossible to be anonymous. The date of employment alone probably can narrow down to a handful of people for almost any position.

Any mid or high level job you might as well just post under your name. There simply are too few people that have ever had your job and its only a matter of a bit of work to figure out who you are.

I wonder what the most common job by a single company in the world is? Amazon warehouse worker? Even if a few million people had that job I bet any HN data scientist could deanonomize almost every review.

It means you can't just extract some fungible value for the trial period and move on easily.

A project management system is sticky, for example, because you can't easily take all your data out of it and put it into a different project management system that has different features.

A cold outreach SaaS isn't very sticky, because you can spam people for the trial period and then move on to the next cold outreach SaaS.

This has been my observation too. AWS started with primitives needed to operate a cloud service. I remember the days of AWS where many features were available via API’s only, no Web Console. Then built higher level services on top of those as customer needs became clearer.

Using Azure always felt like that the inside development must be led by marketing team: “here are all the services AWS has, go build them as cheaply as possible from all the existing garbage we have, by yesterday!”

Why don't they make the whole process anonymous?

After verifying that you work for a company, why don't they physically destroy everything that could be used to de-anonymize you, leaving with only some kind of public key and a proof of that you work for company X?

For the legal part I think there were some countries (IIRC Sweden) that doesn't require to keep any logs so that they can move operations there with an owned company and legally anonymize users.

I know it's much easier written here on HN than actually done, but that should be the intention: anonymous by design ground-up.

To use web.snapchat.com, one must obtain a subscription to Snapchat+ for $3.99/month. This seems to be a reasonable fee for someone that avidly uses the service. I pay $4.99/month (or something) for Reddit Premium, which not only grants me 700 "reddit coins" per month (can be used to purchase awards, etc.), but access to the r/lounge VIP space, and most important of all: removes all advertisements from my Reddit experience; worth every penny.

Snap's press release is vague about what $3.99/month buys you. Specifically, I'm curious whether the paid subscription eliminates advertisements and/or affects how Snap collects and shares paid subscribers' data.
This really seems like a stretch.

I can maybe see how low interest rates could maybe increase software salaries. But I can't see anyway that would depress EE salaries.

This is victim blaming. In my jurisdiction, you retain copyright under any information you publish, even to the worldwide public. This means I can reasonably expect entities to collect, save, analyze and repurpose that info within reason, and without specific steps to discourage access & use. This is why there are laws such as 'fair use' and 'satire', because we wanted to extend what is considered reasonable use of public works. But redistributing copyrighted works without permission? Legally actionable, if you have the money and lawyers and access to the necessary courts. If this was software, such as free software license violations, people in this forum would be calling for the lawyers to nuke them from orbit.

Thankfully DMCA should make the removal process easier now, especially in situations where control over the domain has been lost or being hosted by a third party. Although last I saw there were still artificial barriers, such as needing to list every single individual page needing to be taken down. But this is after the fact, after you discovered your reasonable expectations and privacy have been violated. And then you have to track down the other copies that IA illegally distributed your now-private and copyrighted information to, such as a few libraries around the world with similar projects.

If you are designing a REST API, please don't follow this author's advice and return HTML instead of JSON. HTML takes much longer to parse and makes the API more fragile.

The history did its job: it preserved the most useful features of the original idea (expressing RPCs as URLs in GET and POST requests) and has dropped the unnecessarily complicated bits.

What this article is about is a pedantic terminology battle of whether to call the current practice REST or not.
