> Both are simply strategies with downsides. This strategy is just as broken.

A strategy like "always bet 10% of your bankroll on a coin flip" doesn't break. Whether it makes or loses money in the long run depends on the specific returns, but you can keep doing it indefinitely.

You can't keep doing a martingale indefinitely. Bad luck doesn't just lose you money, it makes the strategy itself explode. Once that happens you can't recover even if you have good luck or a house edge.
Define “useable”, there are plenty of options but no clue what “useable” means to you. Does that mean specific platforms (iOS, Android, etc.), does that mean automatic sync?

Personally I like using my own cloud compute (Digital Ocean Droplet, AWS EC2, etc.) and then setup syncthing.

Just brainstorming a low-tech analogy to help sketch-out the problem space, let's imagine if a bronze-age scenario of:

1. Alice underwent great expense to transport a rare new fruit bush from another country, with a little selective-breeding to find a variety that would thrive in local soil.

2. Alice sells these fruits. Perhaps she makes buyers agree never to plant the seeds as a condition of purchase, but that doesn't matter since...

3. Carol finds one of the seeds, simply fallen on the street. (Therefore contracts aren't part of this scenario.)

4. Carol plants her own bush and starts selling the fruits too.

5. Alice complains that Carol has wronged her and that she has some kind of right to the sale of the fruit.

It's true that in this low-tech example Alice didn't construct the plant--certainly not same way as with a program or screenplay--but she did invest some similar kind of time/effort/resources in making it available.

So the question is whether that kind of "work" creates some kind of right, one which exists outside any kind of contractual agreement. If so, what are its differences or limitations from her other rights?
Over a million people died with covid, not from covid. If after 2 years you haven't got this distinction, do you think possibly you're just severely confused on the topic and shouldn't be discussing it publicly for fear of spreading misinformation?
I work on a small startup team of 3. What makes my team unique is that I come from a Ux background but pivoted into development about four years ago. As such much of the friction between development and design is eliminated because I speak a common language. My teammates are pure devs. The senior dev has a decent sense of design. Early on we clashed because I felt that I needed to be the final say in design. That was my ego. When I stopped thinking this way, everything fell into place. All of us have a say on all aspects of the project. An inevitable consequence of this was that my Figma designs became a jumping off point for feature discussion rather than a blueprint that was religiously maintained. We iterated in code rather than Figma and we moved faster and smoother as a result. Every day it's a pleasure to work with my team because egos have been removed from the equation.
Couple of things to say to this.

First up, this is a technical solution to problem so it seems to fit with what you miss on the first place. But secondly, in the 10+ years I've been coming to this site almost daily it has never been "highly focused" in the way you describe -- it's always been about anything that piques one's intellectual curiosity.

But beyond that, being LGBTQIA+ is not a niche thing. Every workplace, classroom, and social circle I've ever been in has had LGBT members. Moreover it's not a "sexual lifestyle" it's simply a part of someone's existence.

Your comment is actually bordering on homophobia and that's something I personally hadn't expected to see on HN.

Each dollar spent on fusion is a dollar not spent where it can have any useful effect before 2050.

That was as true 30 years ago.

A Tokamak fusion plant would cost at least 10x fission, and fission is already far from competitive. So, absent aneutronic, fusion has no prospect ever.
One reason we encourage keeping soft-deleted records at least for a while is synchronizing data across systems. We want to propagate deletions downstream. At some point when all downstream consumers have caught up, we can purge the soft-deleted records.

What he said is at least true even if it's not nice sounding. For someone so concerned with HN guidelines you didn't seem to mind launching a personal attack against him. Maybe just downvote someone instead of trying to give them a psychiatric evaluation.
Personally in my dev career I've only ever really had friction with design teams when they did one or more of the following:

1. Changed designs offcycle without updating tickets.

2. Be oblivious/ambivalent to accessibility requirements of UI, or what standard user interactions with existing sites is like.

For 1, I don't even mind as long as the changes are small. There have been times that I've met with designers, we settle on a plan of action, I start working on it, and then they change the whole layout because of some sort of need from higher up. I wasted a few days working on a non-finalized design when I could have been working on something finalized. Solution was to make sure that the higher ups are in the initial design meeting so we don't get any surprises. Yes, their schedules are always packed and it means we have to push back meetings all the time, but it also generally means that we get 1 meeting to get everyone in agreement (even if it's agreement by force at the hands of the hippo)

For 2 there wasn't much I could do other than push back when they present a design that is inaccessible or a dark pattern. If it's an external application I always lean on "I'm trying to save us a ADD lawsuit", but it's always harder with internal tools. I get things like "We don't have any blind sales reps" or "no one at this company uses a screen reader" but I don't let up. Accessibility when done right doesn't just make an application usable to a group of people who would otherwise be excluded, but it also makes applications easier to use period. No I'm not going to rotate that text. No I'm not going to have the text be an svg unless it's a logo. No I'm not going to make the text that light on a light background. Designers generally don't like when they're told a design flat out can't be used but in my experience any application that is written without accessibility in mind, will be rewritten for accessibility.

There's always exceptions but this has been the bulk of my experience. Most designers I've worked with understand where I'm coming from which is a big help, I can only count on one hand the number of times the relationship has been outright adversarial.
It's interesting that it's only moderate because it's a benevolent but absolute autocracy.
He was five years my senior. I never expected to be immortal but at my age one starts becoming aware that you have more weeks behind your back than in front of you. I like to think that living is just untangling a web that somehow fate has already set for you. So in the end what counts is living each and every moment as if it was the most important one, and loving and caring about the people that love and care about you.
Maintaining a bank savings account is rather pointless for most of us. A better approach is to set up automated periodic transfers from your checking account into an investment account where you can earn higher returns.

One should never trivialize disease, but the numbers cited here is almost a magnitude too large, both for measles and covid.

The most trustworthy data sources I could find points at about .02% for measles and .03% for covid. Then of course, infection fatality rate is notoriously hard to quantify.

Every single case hides a personal tragedy.
> What a whinge.

Strong disagree here.

>What it actually means is that these generations operate at higher levels of abstraction.
That may be true, but I don't think it's necessarily a good thing. In the analogy of a car driver, if you don't know how the car works aside from driving it, then you are worse off in many respects. If it behaves oddly, you have no idea what is wrong, no idea how to fix it, and (in my experience) are a lot more likely to pay significantly more to do so.

For many today, computers are a complete mystery - indeed I'd hazard that proporptionally far more people know nothing concrete about how computers work than did when I was a kid. They have become magical devices that seem beyond comprehension for many, and I think that's to the detriment of everyone.

>And anyway, in the "old days" you spent at least as much time looking after your system as actually using it

Also not true. Didn't spend -any- time looking after my ZX Spectrum. Just turned it on and either started writing software straight away, or loaded a game up. Maintenance was not a thing.

>But kids these days have too many important things to do

That has certainly not been my experience as a parent. They have lots of things to do, but I don't think much of it is important. It's just attention-grabbing.

People don't maintain different sections of their brains for "beliefs arrived at by dispassionate and factual study" and "beliefs that help me get through the day and give me power over my situation" and "weirdo beliefs that I got from the sewer of the internet".

All of the conspiracy theory people feel a loss of control over their lives or disconnection with society. They feel like traditional media is trying to invalidate their personal experiences. Lots of people are willing and ready to exploit that feeling by wedging in a conspiracy theory. Then these exploiters will either sell them something, or try to get them to vote for a candidate, or something. There are also some genuine crazy people, but don't assume that as the default.

So what can you do? I think you can only make a difference in a 1 on 1 conversation. You can't directly repudiate their weirdo beliefs. You have to acknowledge what they believe. You have to accept at the start of the conversation that you may not turn them around. If you really want to make a difference, have a tiny goal for each conversation - just connect with them. Let them feel like people from the mainstream world care about them.

Look up "High Demand Groups" (aka Cults). The resources for them also apply to people who believe in conspiracy theories.
If you carefully read the article, what they're doing is classifying points by how unlikely they'd be according to their model of their system, and they are using that to find inaccuracies in their model.

Without a model there is no difference between outliers and "regular" data points, because a data point will always match a distribution made from itself.
Yes, better to be a knight of faith than a knight of infinite resignation.
The assumption seems to be that the undelete operation is performed by the vendor's support staff, rather than the end user. I've been involved in the implementation/ maintenance of systems with soft delete that was entirely for that purpose - it allowed the user to delete/undelete at will. In our case it also meant certain uniqueness constraints were kept in place effectively reserving things like email addresses or business registration numbers that couldn't be reused until a hard delete was issued.
Arguably it's more like an "is active" flag in such a case, but it's debatable what the distinction is.
I'm sure if the whistleblower thinks their name should be public, they'll do an interview somewhere soon. It's good the SEC doesn't treat this like you're winning the lottery, and requiring you do a press conference holding a big check for free PR for Powerball.
> They don't endlessly complain to Zuckerberg that their business's page is slathered in Facebook Blue, but if the Web site's buttons aren't the precise shade of mauve that matches their CMYK offset press business cards, they pitch an unholy fit.

I, for one, am extremely skeptical that the intense focus on making sure every little thing on every page or app is "on brand", and the significant costs that preference incurs, has positive ROI. Nonetheless, every company seems to have become obsessed with it.
Makes you wonder how much of your behaviour and fears are driven by headlines instead of reality. Sure things go up and down with the economy, but they also went very up for a lot of people (ie: demographic of people on hackernews) during COVID.

Flights are expensive because demand is through the roof while labor is not available to fulfill the demand. Same for eating out.

Not negating that inflation is up within the last year, but did you realize how good were the last few years (even before COVID) but didn't quite realize as there was no headlines telling you that good news?

Nothing prevents them from having access - it’s just a matter of reverse-engineering the messages transiting on the various CAN buses the radio has access to.

Zenec for example makes units that are able to display & control HVAC and parking radar on VAG Group (Volkswagen/Audi/Seat/Skoda) vehicles, pulling the data from the CAN bus.

In the authors case he’s reusing existing manufacturer-provided libraries that handle CAN message parsing but there’s no reason you couldn’t do it from scratch with enough effort.

Depending on which particular subject you are interested in:

- The plugin:

https://wielder.victor.earth/Welcome shows the sort of things you can build with Wielder. The github repository for the library is here https://github.com/victorb/obsidian-wielder

- How To Solve it

The key ideas behind How To Solve It are that for a lot of our challenges there are strategies we can use to tackle them effectively. How To Solve It expounds on how to go about understanding a problem, understanding the connection of the data you have with what you don't know, how to make problems more tractable, carrying out a plan, and evaluating the results.

- Untools

A site dedicated to listing various strategies for thinking, communicating and prioritization; they sell templates similar in nature to what I'm building, but I depart sharply from them in my desired document representation choice for templates - Zettlekastian graph continuations for me versus linear documents for them.

- My own tool

This is currently private and not yet ready for public consumption. I have a whole lot of philosophical backing for what I'm trying to build but it is still very far from generating utility at the level I want it too. Later today I'll see about moving some private notes into a blog post going into more depth about what I'm building and why.

It is no different to platforms like Instagram, YouTube, etc but with a different name. Their over-worshipped algorithm is nothing new but is in fact worse than Instagram which no-one has seen anything like the reality distortion in real time like this: [0]

> The gap was wide open for someone to actually create a recommendation engine that rewards real grass roots content creators and gives users the content they want to see.

The algorithm has already been gamed by large creators and corporations to make other creators lose out and to let the corporations and marketers ruin the platform.

Every single platform that does this and allows ads, marketers and large companies will always negotiate via backroom deals for a spot on the platform to ruin it afterwards. The result is the same and the small grass roots creators lose all the time and get screwed first by the existing larger and early creators, even from other platforms.

It is the same old power law being applied. Rinse and repeat.

> "the engineer queried the wrong table and thus got incorrect results."

The difference is that the path of least resistance, the most obvious method - just query the damn table - is incorrect. Bad design can certainly make a system more error prone.

Not necessarily true. It depends on the object's optical properties.

I well remember working on my parents' car in Phoenix summers. The chromed wrenches on our driveway surface got to instant-blister temperatures. Tools with black surfaces were uncomfortable to pick up, but were usable.

The chromed tools had a lower absorption of sunlight than the black tools, but their IR radiation coefficient was even lower. So equilibrium temperature (at which radiated energy = incident energy) was much higher for the chromed tools.
Thanks for sharing! One last question. How did the astro-turf compare as a slip-free material compared to more conventional materials?
It might turn out to be a good deal for the shareholders, but good lord, I would not want to be one of the Twitter board members who agrees to a settlement offer. This guy owes your shareholders $44 billion! And you’re going to take less than that?!

Now, that said, there are likely to be good commercial, legal and practical reasons for them to settle this case, even if they win on specific performance. But the optics are terrible for Twitter’s board, and they’re all gonna get raked over the coals in the forthcoming shareholder litigation (which in inevitable regardless of how this winds up playing out).
it is very dangerous to have dependency on materialized view - it is a poor architectural decision from DBA to do that.

I've also seen businesses retain "deleted" data in order to support legitimate data analysis work in the future. And it actually can help significantly. Maybe scrubbing PII from deleted accounts is a good idea, but those deleted accounts are perfectly good data points, especially in smaller/newer companies with lower-volume data streams.

I just don’t understand how you can say it is baseless left wing hysteria when powerful and influential Republicans are literally saying they want to do exactly that. That is the basis. If republicans weren’t saying they want to come after gay marriage, no one would be worried. But they are.

Baseless would be saying that Democrats want to come after gay marriage. Obviously there is no basis for that statement. But when powerful Republicans literally say exactly that they want to end gay marriage, it forms the basis for concerns that they will follow through.

Just last month the Texas Republican Party had a convention and declared “homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice”, which sets the debate about homosexuality back decades. What about the Texas Republican Party platform is left wing media hysteria? What about the position that homosexuality is “abnormal” signals to you that Republicans aren’t coming after gay rights? We’re not talking about a single justice or senator here; we are talking about a state party platform, in a state controlled entirely by that party.
As others said the asset itself has a baked in return but let's entertain it for a bit. Effectively what the article is describing are speculative profits that can only be made by switching between two assets. The obvious result is that trading between the two assets will reduce their volatility and hence correlate them. The profits that you can make here are the usual kind of volatility premiums that any normal daytrader earns.
Most of the National Parks (and National Monuments) are such for good reason but there are definitely alternatives and the most popular parks may have crowds (and restrictions) that make them not worth it at peak times.
