This is a little cynical, but it's not something they'd want to have known. Suppose the worst case is true and the Webb has a useful lifetime of three or four years. What were they going to do if they'd learned that in 2015? Redesign the entire mission? It was already too expensive. One might say that they should have made the measurement back in the '90s, but the Webb was anticipated to be significantly cheaper back then and the cost of a pathfinder mission would have been proportionately greater.
I used to write pseudo-code that didn't compile for one pass, working out logic, then work through turning it into code on a second pass. Generally, stuff I pseudo-coded seemed much less buggy than stuff I wrote straight in as compilable, presumably because I didn't have much besides program-logic to concern myself with. Translating it to something compilable was pretty mechanical, since I wrote something in the ballpark; I just didn't worry about syntax at all.

In such analogy, Copilot is no different than looking at someone code a bubble sort and then later doing one yourself. Some people on this forum had issue with that.
There is a /ja/ syllable. 亚，丫，鸭，呀.

There is a separate /jɛ/, 也，耶.

Within-syllable -jɛ- exists in yan and its "compounds" tian, mian, lian, etc; changing the final consonant to -ŋ gives you the yang / niang / liang / xiang series of syllables, which have -ja-. This would suggest that, if the vowels are to be unified into one phoneme, the realization of that phoneme is driven more by the following consonant than the preceding vowel/glide.

There's something weird going on where -ɛ- in a complex syllable can appear with more onsets than -a- can. We see e.g. tie, tian, die, dian, mie, mian, bian, pian (with -ɛ-) where we don't see tia, tiang, dia, diang, mia, miang, piang (which would use -a-). xia, jia, qia are all fine, and so is niang. My working hypothesis for that would be "it's a coincidence".

I believe without being able to cite anything that one reason for the spelling of yuan and similar codas with "a" is local variation in how the vowel is pronounced.
>> There is literally a move to do that. They are openly campaigning to repeal the Human Right Act and replace it with something that strips away most protections that are currently available to people whose human rights are violated by government.

I don't recognise your characterisation, but that would be the ideal. That is not what is currently in process though.

>> The main changes being proposed are to give the government of the day more power and less judicial oversight,

Well, it gives the UK people more power. The elected government is a proxy for that.

>> UK parliament is and always was ultimately sovereign on these issues. That was already true, with or without the Human Rights Act, and even when the UK was in the EU. (Otherwise there would have been no need for the UK to create its own Human Rights Act.)

Yes, in as much as they decided, as sovereign, to give powers away. They are now as you say taking those powers back.

You can try Toptal.

Same exact story - I was perhaps 9 or 10 and got to Beej's work on sockets. It was one of the more accessible things available to me (or known to me). I remember reading Stevens books next.

Thanks! Note that the first two inferences I show above are valid resolution steps since they have literals that are complements under unification, like swan(alice) and swam(X)← (the latter being a negative literal, since it's in the body). But the third and fourth inferences can't be made with resolution.

There is a whole bunch of work on abductive reasoning in a first-order framework, but I'm far from an expert on it. Antonis Kakas is a prominent name in the subject. For example, see:

https://academic.oup.com/logcom/article-abstract/2/6/719/942...

Although behind a paywall. And yes, that's that Kowalski. Here's an unpaywalled overview:

I work for myself and I feel this is quite different. Freelancing, the client finding you already has some interest, and you don’t really compete with others. A freelancing interview is more about sorting out the details, making sure both sides want to go through etc, rather than trying to impress the client.

Let me fix that for you:

They gave away powers, now they are taking them back.
They were also very right about one critical point:

> without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?

Dropbox was initially pitched as a free service, which was absolutely not sustainable, and someone would have been right to be very skeptical about the underlying business model. People might not have been quite as enthusiastic if they'd said from the beginning "oh, and it'll be $100/year for the rest of your life, or until you get your shit together and move your data elsewhere".
I would disagree with the characterization of that Twitter thread as a rant. To me it seemed like a fairly reasonable and balanced distillation of conclusions that are suggested by the study. He didn't say that current antidepressants should never be used. He simply said we don't have evidence that a chemical approach to treating depression is the right approach.
I like how this seems to actually be self-contained. They even have a list of notations in the end.
Useful, but are there any risks that accidentally including some dubious information might get your Google account suspended, including all its data? How do you make backups?
They can't do that easily though. If a company pays $100,000 in stock-based comp. that has no impact on their cashflows. You're effectively paying your employees with investment capital which is great if you have a hyped public stock.

If you start paying all your engineers in cash suddenly your operating margins will drop and investors will get nervous that you're going to run out of cash. Imo there are a large number of unprofitable public tech companies today that rely almost entirely on their stock price remaining high to sustain their engineering costs. Instead of higher base pay, layoffs are far far more likely. Many of these companies simply don't have the cashflows to pay their engineering teams in cash.
I'm not an expert on hardware, but I do know that CPU consumption depends on CPU load. A laptop battery drains faster and fans run faster when the CPU is working than when it is idle. More MB/s mean less seconds and therefore more idle time. So how could running a program that has more instructions and takes longer to do the same work not have a cost?

About the second part of your comment, it's true that optimizing has a cost, and if I were creating a "yes" or "cat" program for personal use it would obviously be pointless to optimize. But if it's a program ran by millions of people often (probably more true of "cat" than "yes"), it's not that obvious to me that millions of little savings cannot offset the time of one person optimizing.
Yeah, it definitively should! Sorry, not a native speaker, and that went under my typo radar.
Political extremism propped up by crypto crud. PeerTube every time.
Thanks mate! That is a nice and reflected way of approaching the subject.

Could you maybe provide an Example for your third point? I think this will help the understanding how this could look like.
We are hiking interest rates, investments into businesses are harder to achieve with VC staying aside, and consumer sentiment is falling daily.

Look, sometimes when people are fearful there is a reason. Don't jump into a pool filled with razorblades because everyone is outside the pool pointing and screaming.

I personally think we are in for a ride that will remind people that stocks are, in fact, risk assets. In both theme parks and finance, know the ride you are getting on.

Equity should be about making a benefit available to all, not taking it away from some.
The stability of their own economy is guaranteed by the Eurozone. Because of the Euro, Germany can run a massive trade imbalance to export their goods. You nuke the Eurozone, and suddenly German goods become massively more expensive for hundreds of millions of people, which will tank their income.

The German people are better off subsidizing other Europeans to buy their cars, like Ford did with their workers.
I found a video that explains it quite well:

I agree, I think it will spill over. It may harm the app store revenue, but it's going to result in a big adoption of Apple hardware by people who previously wouldn't have. When Apple loosening the reins doesn't result in Armageddon like so many people here seem to think it will, US customers will also pressure Apple to similar policies, and they will do it.

It probably will hurt app store revenues, but Apple makes such a premium on hardware that it may make up or even exceed the losses from software competition.

score = upvotes - downvotes

total = upvotes + downvotes

Therefore,

upvotes = (total + score) / 2

downvotes = (total - score) / 2
What about this acquisition makes you say that?
> The service has worsened every year.

This is because of finacialization of the capital markets. These companies come in flush with cash and services and everyone is like "Wow they are great!" Then slowly reality hits and they wait to be bought out and they start cutting and de funding until there is nothing left.
Fond memories of that time I got fired because I did an easter egg in a Fortune 50 site and posted about it here.

Those tools will only slow you down, use Excel.

Also the pain you mentioned is exponential with those tools compared to in Excel. You’ll never have perfect budget unless you have a crystal ball and can anticipate everything that will change. Just explain the variance and move on. Forecasting is meant to somewhat solve this issue. Budget become quickly stale, the forecast is budget altered by a few big issues (usually things unknown during the budget). Also usually helpful to replace budget with actual as they become available

For those who bought Bitcoin at around $60K - $40K it is indeed a giant crash from its previous high which it has lost 60% of its value. It is possible that if can crash another 60% to $10K, taking the whole crypto market with it. But we'll see.

> > my point is that the crypto market shows crash-resilience unlike anything else that has actually crashed

Yes. Crypto has had many 'crashes' but it seems that it isn't going to completely go away as wrongly predicted in 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and now 2022.

But again, as the commenters still fail to notice, the whole market (including crypto) has crashed.
Democracies defend themselves if someone tries to circumvent the election process, but rule is with consent of the governed. The legitimacy is that government won the election.

A monarch doesn't have any legitimacy aside power. This power is established with violence.

No democracy is perfect but most are better than competing ideas by significant margins.

They don't "pay for everything", they effectively subsidize their own economy. Like what they've done with Greece, lending them money to buy their tanks, the current monetary setup effectively achieves the same, just with more intermediate steps.

In 3 years almost of working with some remote people, I can say for sure that remote workers are less productive than in person workers, but only in the sense that all the in person people collaborate better together. I regularly run into the mechanical engineers at my office and we bounce ideas for a new product while standing at the coffee machine and then we make it together over a few weekends and get a big bonus and the company wins big with the product!

This stuff you cant do with remote workers. When the boss needs help on testing the app, he talks to me instead of the guy who made it since I am just one desk over and its easier to work together than schedule a meeting and all that. He just let the remote guy go and gave me the project.

I doubt that remote work will really take off. I barely even know the remote workers since all our interactions are 100% focused on the job. I cant build trust with them because I just don't know them. They are just a talking head in a window on my computer.

We built a Rotten Tomatoes-style platform for products
About 1.5 years ago, I introduced my review aggregator BuyForLife on Hacker News, where it became the #8 most upvoted Show HN project of all time. The idea of helping people to make better purchasing decisions continued to chase me over the last year.
Here are some stats that illustrate how important online reviews are:

• 90% check online reviews as part of their online buying journey

• 43% visit 5-10 websites to research a product

• 75% spend more than a day doing research before buying a product

The top frustrations with the current process are:

• Google full of SEO spam and Ads

• Fake reviews

• Fragmented trusted sources

• Inconsistent information across sources

Thanks to the recent advances in NLP (transformers, GPT-3, etc.) it became possible to solve these problems at scale, so I decided to team up with my co-founders Johnny and Tavis to build https://Looria.com.

We aggregate and summarize the most trusted product reviews on the web. Just like Rotten Tomatoes provides trustworthy ratings for movies, Looria offers ratings and reviews for all kinds of products. Our vision is to make Looria the go-to platform for making purchase decisions.
Yeah, who would want to protect government officials? /s
Can you elaborate? personal websites are as decentralized of a platform as you can get.

Offer a spoof mode, make the Lockdown mode browser look to external websites like it isn't in Lockdown mode. Tricky but doable with some site breakage that can always be fixed by disabling Lockdown mode for sites a user trusts.

Above all, lets begin to consider signed web content..
I mostly agree with you, but I'm not so confident in a one-term presidency. It looks bad now, but there are still over two years to go and a lot can change. I expect after the mid-terms, we'll start to see some Democrat front-runners emerge and Biden will step aside to make way for them.

Edit: After writing that above, I had another thought. I'm not so sure a Republican admin would be better. Republicans would normally (traditionally) be that way, but among the Republicans I've talked to there is extreme distaste for the power of big tech. I think it's very possible for a Republican to run against big tech and win with a mandate from their party to rein them in.
Just to echo this - OM was incredible for years but has fallen off a cliff in terms of service, responsiveness, overall quality.

The President nominates the Federal Reserve Board with the consent of the Senate. But apparently the law on whether governors can be demoted by the President is unclear and may have to be resolved in Court. Apparently our last President asked his advisors for opinions on doing exactly this (surprise) [1], and like many things in our political system the answer turned out to be something more like "this would be a violation of norms" rather than "it is clearly illegal". So a sufficiently motivated President could do quite a bit to make an uncooperative Fed's life difficult, particularly if they enjoyed a sympathetic Congress and Supreme Court. The potential chaos alone makes threats much more credible.
