> Sophisticated methods and “big data” can in certain contexts improve predictions, but usually only slightly, and prediction remains very imprecise

The worst part of big data is the data itself. Used to be common will be shared on Facebook webs about "what is your political compass". There results were used to create political profiles of users and targeted propaganda.

You don't need ML to predict the data that there user already has given.
No it isn't. That's the change from FY 2020 to FY 2021, which was ratified in April 2021. Inflation for the prior year was well under 2%, and even a live chart would have given you less than 5%.
Good wallets are open source and have anti-tamper and anti-interdiction features so the chance of this happening should be pretty low.
> How exactly are you supposed to prove that an opinion was honestly held?

You don't in the US. A defendant is presumed innocent and needs to be proven guilty by a finder of fact. What needs to be shown is that the poster posted a statement that he knew was false.

This can be shown in many ways. The poster didn't actually work there and had no basis for the statement. The poster went on to post somewhere else that his job is fantastic and the best he ever had. The poster had a series of excellent employee reviews and raises. etc.
The only degradation I feel is that, in the previous design, I could see what I was buying within the first fold. I find the illustration in the new design to be a bit too abstract.

?

I don't think so. The whole world is still laughing at Krugman, the Bloomberg writer and all of his spin doctors trying to save his record of poorly aged predictions with deflection pieces.

It's extremely hilarious to see even after that very weak Bloomberg piece from last year, we continue to see the faithful followers attempting to defend a record of indefensible and deranged predictions.

I don't even need to repeat that old 1998 quote here again since we are past that. Even decades later after that quote, he admitted he was incorrect on his own prediction. So this Bloomberg piece defending him, is quite frankly a desperate attempt at spinning what he meant at the time. He was wrong, admitted it publicly, everyone today knows he got it wrong and that was that in history.

So fast forward to 2022, after admitting he called inflation wrong last year, what did he say this time? [0] 'Inflation in the United States has probably peaked.' and even before that in 2021, 'Don't panic about inflation.' as he doubled down on that last year. Once again, he confessed on that wrong prediction after another in this NYT piece.

So there you have it. Perhaps he and his supporters need to sit this decade out, before they repeatedly embarrass themselves again.

> Of the top reasons people are happy at work, salary is way down on the list.

> It is important, it makes it possible to pay bills, but it isn't what makes people happy.
Meaning, if you are looking for a place you will enjoy working, do not start with salary.

This feels strange to me… I have a minimum salary for which I wouldn’t consider working for a company even if they offered me flying rainbow unicorns. It’s not a gajillion $FAANG but there is a minimum.

If I can get that at the beginning of the process, this saves both myself and the company time and money.
I think that web site is out of date. I clicked on a few, and the companies are still hiring Colorado people.

For example, clicking through the Accenture link to a job listing shows:

"As required by Colorado law under the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, Accenture provides a reasonable range of compensation for roles that may be hired in Colorado. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and specific office location. For the state of Colorado only, the range of starting pay for this role is $112,000-$134,000 and information on benefits offered is here."
A lot has changed since 2014. Any more recent metrics on this?
NYT columnists – I was wrong about
I'm sorry, can't you see what you're saying? Bitcoin can crash over 70% in the span of a month, that's significantly more than the dollar's inflation over 50 years.

And unless you're trying to retrieve your great-grandparent's piggy bank from 1922 and spend its contents, then the dollar inflation from 100 years ago is irrelevant. Even over a year the small level of inflation in USD is inconsequential for the use of a currency. The thing about the inflation of the dollar is that the rate of inflation has become relatively stable and predictable, this is what actually makes it useful as a medium of exchange. With the way bitcoin is now, its inflation or deflation will never be stable, it always will be completely random making it useless as a currency; bitcoiners simply are philosophically opposed to anything that could control the rate of deflation/inflation, like having capital controls and a reasonable monetary policy.
That's surprising to me. What statistical measures did you use to make sure your conclusion wasn't confirmation bias?

Silent, subtle and unseen: How seizures happen and why they’re hard to diagnose
How well is this law actually enforced? As an example, I quickly pulled a physician job at a random HCA hospital in Denver:

https://careers.hcahealthcare.com/jobs/9031565-pulmonary-sla...

I see no salary ranges. I pulled some other medical jobs as well and it seems moderately random if they list anything at all. Really, I may be misunderstanding the law and what information is supposed to be disclosed, but the larger hospitals and medical groups in Colorado mostly don't post salary ranges.
How has that gone for your firm? Why was the decision made not just be upfront about the salary? If you are afraid that people won't be willing to work with you if they knew the salary then why potentially waste their time?

The first impression of how you are as a firm is the job ad, and if you don't post a salary the first impression is worse.

The customer doesn't set any of that. That is between Uber and their drivers. Uber has a legal obligation to not charge different prices with reasonable accommodations to someone because they're disabled. They can of course pay the driver more, but that is between the driver and Uber.
Dude, at least they left! You got off easy!
I always ask salary range before I even apply, and especially before I share a resume - like the OP, I don't want to waste my time (or the recruiters time) doing the dance only to find out they are not even close to what I need to consider a move.
Get a fresh cap! The caps only last about a year of heavy use. You can find replacements on amazon and elsewhere. It doesn't even matter if it's really oem, a fresh third party one will still be much better than a worn oem one.

There is no world in which they can put that genie back in the bottle, so I really hope they don’t actually believe it’s “temporary.”
That's the wrong view. The state is subsidizing the disabled residents, so they can live their lives without undue burden. Those subsidizes might be used with Uber or a regular cab or some other transit provider.
Buterin believes that creating a better-decentralized ecosystem demands some short-term discomfort in exchange for long-term gain.

Coming from a ThinkPad X1 Yoga. I really love where the Framework Laptop is headed and I really want to get one... But, I have a few blockers right now. The blockers are features that I do use on my Yoga and I will need to make the switch:

* Convertible mode. Tent and tablet modes, I do use to watch things or read longer articles in portrait mode and scroll with my thumb, from the side.

* Touchscreen, I use this quite a bit actually, if I see a button I can just press it vs, move my hand to the TouchStick and move the mouse to it. I also use the touchscreen for bulk operations where there is none. Sometimes, repetitive tasks like maybe adding a new list item or editing things or copy pasting multiple data entries can be done, sometimes in combination w/keyboard, very fast with this feature. It is not something I want to regress on now that I have moved into flowing with it really nicely.

* TouchStick - I don't use the trackpad, I disable it and solely use the TouchStick. It is faster when I need to use a mouse input. I guess I lose out on some gestures, but the TouchStick has been my flow for over 10 years, I'm used to it, I'm efficient with it. I hope to see a keyboard mod in the marketplace with a touchstick. There are a couple threads in the forums with a large amount of activity from others looking for the same.
For easy math, if you assume the average book is 365 pages long, then how many pages you read per day on average will tell you how many books you're likely to read per year (e.g., 10 pages/day => 10 books/year, 50 pages/day => 50 books/year, 100 pages/day => 100 books/year).

Why can't we fix and improve infrastructure... and spend less bullshit like the F35 program? I believe research, development, and program maintenance costs are expected to exceed $1.7 trillion dollars.

With $1.7 trillion dollars you could, for example, give every household in the country a small rooftop solar array (@ ~$10k/ea).
"Firing the Senate parliamentarian when he blocked the Senate from advancing Bush tax cuts"

Not a great example. Democrats and Republicans have both switched up the parliamentarian when they've taken control of the Senate.

Democrats fired Alan Frumin in 1987 when they won a majority and appointed Robert Dove.

In 2001 (your example), four years after winning the majority back, Republicans fired Dove and reappointed Alan Frumin. Frumin went on to be a key figure in helping Obama with passage of elements of the ACA, so not exactly a hardcore partisan.

The parliamentarian has hardly been a nexus of cutthroat politics, just the normal ebb and flow of power and control in the Senate.
The protagonist is the main/leading character in a story. It's not a moral judgement except in the sense that stories usually make the protagonist the good guy.

> The only philosophers of that kind that produced an advancement in terms of stuff being consumed are the ones who did it all inside their heads and the only expense they needed was paper and pen (Einstein, Feynman, Bohn, Maxwell..)

This argument -- which is brought up in every sophomoric conversation about the nature of science -- is extremely poor and unjustified. Of course Einstein, Feynman, Bohn and Maxwell relied on observations. Their theories fit the data that was collected before them. If you ever want to give the next Einstein a chance to build an even more useful theory, you need to observe more data. Period. This is how science works, you observe the world, you build a model that predicts it, rinse and repeat. There is no such thing as "purely pen and paper" in science and it categorically can never be. The idea that Einstein came to relativity through pure reasoning is silly, his theory was formed to explain observations that cannot be predicted by other models. Of course it involved tons of pure reasoning and mathematics, but the basis was only empirical observations.

Sounds like Embrace, extend, and extinguish strategy in relation to a social movement.

Corporations embraced identity politics, extended it to absurdity (peak wokeness), and are now extinguishing any hope of meaningful change, placating the plebes with meaningless virtue signaling and short-lived rage-machines like BLM.
> Installing the WiFi card was crazy difficult. The antenna connectors are tiny, fragile, and require significant pressure to snap on. I had to use a pair of pliers to get it on and I was very concerned about breaking or bending something

I don't have a Framework, but that's how installing mobile WiFi cards has always felt to me. IME those connectors are sturdier than you'd think, but I never use tweezers or apply pressure on the wire other than at the joint, from directly above, with a finger.
> I don't like to stick to one project for a long time, which is visible on my resume, and recruiters don't like that.

Have you considered the consulting industry? Project rotation is high (2-3 projects/year) but you don't look jumpy in your resume (although to be honest, I have done the same before and only once a potential employer brought it up as a red flag)
I have literally never seen this, in my experience the agency is usually not much more than a body shop - every agency I've worked with charges a significant hourly rate which is not reflective of what the agency employee will receive. It is almost always significantly more than a few percentage points.
Tell HN: I think windows is collecting browsing data from Firefox
I’ve been reading about <x> quite a bit lately out of nostalgia in Firefox. I have started to get ads in windows promoting <x> book events, articles, etc now in the start menu.

Every single privacy settings I can find is turned on, I don’t even log in with a Microsoft account. I think this means windows is now uploading either keystrokes to their servers, or at least browsing history from our non-Microsoft browsers, then using it to profile you

I'm of a mixed mind about robots in warfare. On the one hand, robots instead of people means less potential lives lost, at least on one side. On the other hand, it makes combat less personal, so you don't see or feel the loss and devastation up close, which might lead to more of it if you have little or no direct emotional attachment. If you can just send robots to do your killing then it's ok because they're bad guys and no good guys get hurt. Unfortunately history has shown that it's not so simple to just not fight.
I put all companies without listed salary at the bottom of the pile. No salary listed means the company assumes candidates will see the low pay, and will see nothing else of value in the job, and skip it. Which means the company thinks it doesn't provide competitive value as an employer. Why work for a company that doesn't believe in itself?
These days when I build a website, I design them with the mindset that I want to subtlety troll the web design zeitgeist. As such, most of my designs these days are inspired by resources like https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ and http://modalzmodalzmodalz.com/

Let’s look at how I applied those towards my sites:

https://legiblenews.com/ is just a mother fucking website, with dark mode. It’s responsive, accessible, and fast. So fast that it’s unofficially the fastest news website on the planet https://legiblenews.com/speed

https://www.thingybase.com/ is full of childish sketches that I made on my iPad Pro. Each sketch took maybe 30 minutes. It’s fun. It’s whimsical. It’s a website that’s not taking design too seriously, but it works, is fast, and is usable. It’s also modal free, with the exception of the Rails deletion confirmation dialogs that I’ll be replacing with an undo.

And finally my absolute worst designed website is https://www.imageomatic.com/, which is alpha at v0.1, is a super lame sketch with a handwritten tagline.

I am trying to prove a point that people overthink design. What matters is if the product is useful, usable, and if the design looks authentic to the people and company behind it.

Inauthentic design is when small companies throw gobs of money at their sites or applications trying to make their websites look like a billion dollar company, like Stripe.

Authentic design is when a small company, like mine listed above, don’t try to pretend they have a huge design budgets. Inevitably when small companies pretend they have a big design budget, they end up with something that starts looking janky over time because the funds and people needed to maintain it aren’t there.
What it actually really means is simply that Amazon is willing to sign a Business Associate Agreement with HIPAA covered entities for certain services, so that it is possible for the covered entity to use Amazon services while themselves meeting (one particular aspect of) HIPAA regulatory compliance.

At least, that is what it seems to mean given that the support for the claim was a link to Amazon’s description of certain services as HIPAA-eligible, which is Amazon’s term for services they are willing to sign a BAA for.
Ask HN: Is Google trying to frustrate Safari users?
Every time I google something, or go to re-open a closed google tab (gmail or calendar) on Safari, it auto closes a second or two later. It's incredibly irritating. The second time I open the tab, it stays open.

I'm using a 16" M1 max MacBook Pro. I use Safari because It's more power efficient with all the tabs I have open and doesn't constantly hound me to login.

I've been experiencing this for months since I got the laptop and have noticed a pattern of it occurring on Safari, only with google sites. Is this Apple screwing something up? Or is it google trying to make me switch to chrome? Or am I the only one that has this problem?
There's a role called "Human Resources" in most medium and large sized companies

A title change which reflects the shift in business from treating people like people and turning them into "resources."

Very interesting! The “attacker” wouldn’t know which signatures came from their hardware, but I suppose they could easily scan all transactions to find them.

The only fix I can think of would be to evaluate the hardware signatures using statistical tests to try to pick up any bias. This would be a burden on the user, but at least feasible.
Nah, you're not. I just gave up on mine and have a schedule. I also turned off "pre-cooling" because it would just kick on at like 6pm to "cool" the house for bedtime. I also bought several temperature sensors to use, which are fun. At night I have the thermostat use the sensor in my bedroom, then goes back to the main thermostat during the day.

this is the necessary corollary to upholding "book culture."

if you believe books are a cultured activity for those with high intelligence, empathy, work ethic, desire to learn, or other high-brow drive, there will necessarily be those who only engage in reading aesthetically.

I've never found a great solution for this.

The screenshot in the blog post is from Deel, the platform I currently use to pay freelancers. I don't really recommend Deel overall. They make it hard to see aggregate hours over different periods.

One of TinyPilots devs reports their hours through TopTracker, which is better than Deel but still not great.

I wish there was a simple paid SaaS that just lets freelancers report their hours easily, but I think all the platforms that do it are aimed at bigger orgs or are tied up with payment platforms.
yes true but you still have to be intentional about what it is you’re searching for.
