So much for signing up and adding your phone number. Not really a very clever idea now is it since this attack was able to link people's Twitter IDs with their email addresses and most importantly, their phone numbers.

So if another company had a previous breach somewhere which linked both the email and the phone number and then a physical address came up...

Then it's game, set and they're fully doxxed and that's that.
Google paid when you click on ads. Good search results are cost. Ads are profit.
Most Americans are overweight and most Americans are in relationships, so if you put these two together it seems like it’s not a deal breaker. Might be one under 30 though.

I use windows, so .zip. Maybe on rare occasion .7z if I really want better compression.

it's infuriating. LA would be 17th by GDP in the world if it were a country. for comparison, tokyo would be 10th (if it were a country) and mexico is 16th. we have perfect weather for 8 months out of the year, and for the other four, it's a bit hot or a bit cold, but humidity is mild and we never get snow.

yet, we can't have world-class transit because it's only for poor people. the only reason we're building any transit right now is because the olympics are coming here in 2028 and the rich folks sponsoring it can't deign to be embarrassed by the dearth of viable transit here.
If I understood correctly, they set up an economic plan that would make the rich richer and the poor poorer, but diverged about the influence of inflation in the final result.

In both cases the rich would get richer, but inflation would cause some pressure to the plan since inflation is perceived as a bad thing.

Inflation arrived but the rich still got richer despite the negative perception of the general public.

So as far as I understood, this is a win. Am I right?

Complex numbers are best thought of as ratios of planar vectors. A complex number z = v/u is a quantity which turns the vector u into the vector v

Very cool. I'd never thought of them that way but it makes perfect sense, given that rotation and scaling will, indeed, turn one vector into another.

If VC's are so great, they could have invested in fusion 20 years ago and presumably they'd have it solved by now. Why didn't they?

They didn't because they don't have the guts to create entire new branch of science.

Once the government has built research laboratiries, trained physicists and engineers, built prototypes, waited untill those engineers come up with viables plans, then the VC are ready to swoop in and take all the credit.

Thats fine if Venture capital can't make 60 year investments.
Whats not cool, is everyone else buying the narrative that we don't need government funding for fundamental research, that VCs will solve all problems in the world as long as we let them run wild and don't tax them

You don't loathe tar files due to a deficiency in the tar format. You loathe tar files because your operating system vendor doesn't build in support for one of the most widely used archive formats in the world. Complain to Microsoft, not to people who use tar.

Tar might've been designed for use with tape, but no part of its design makes the HDD/SSD use-case worse just to work better with tape.
I'm not sure which night clubs you are going to, but "popular" ones are very much monopolies. Sure, the local bar that plays music isn't a monopoly, but neither is the "small" social network. You won't see John Mayer in a small night club and you also wont see him on a small social media platform. John creates lock-in for the other high status participants at the club, just like the content creators create lock-in for you being on social media (or HN in this case). I can walk next door, but I have a worse experience in both cases because they have a monopoly over a network is valuable.

Your second point of the global nature misses the point I was making. Social things evolve. Whether on a global scale, country scale, or city level. Assuming there is a social construct that will "just work" until the end of time seems naive. But hey, if we are all using Twitter and Facebook in 20-30 years rather than the new social media company that has come to prominence then it will be a provably wrong take :).

Or maybe a better way to put it is if the next generation is using them, because certain cohorts (see original post) will continue to use it because thats where their network is, but younger people get no utility because their network isnt there. See twitter and facebook.

That approach depends on what's in the pages.

Does the served HTML contain everything: the product, related products, comments, reviews, etc? If so, caching the entire page might be counterproductive.

But if the page is designed in such a way where it's broken up into fragments, then caching heavily is your friend.

Those fragments can either be loaded client-side (Javascript) or server-side (ESI, SSR, etc) -- but page fragments are key to increasing how much and how long you can cache.

And with this, you've added a layer of complexity that a small to medium e-commerce site may not be able to fulfill with their in-house talent.

If you provisioned a really small amount of GP2, you can run out of I/O credits pretty quickly and get throttled to baseline performance (and it used to be 7 times the storage provisioned, or some such, and now it's 100 IOPS). That's brutally slow for a working database.

I mean, here's an inconvenient truth: the software I use on a daily basis doesn't work on ARM. The software I develop at work doesn't run on ARM.

If there was a laptop that could replace my T460s with 20 hours of battery life, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, an x86 laptop with 4 hours of battery life is always going to be more productive than an ARM Macbook/Raspberry Pi for my purposes. I don't think that's denial, it's just the transactional cost of Apple continuing to cut people out of their ecosystem. That's a perfectly fine decision for them to make, but if you can't argue that Apple Silicon will work for everybody, you're defending a moot point. They could make a laptop with 100 hours of battery life, but if it can't run my Docker containers for work, then it can't replace what I have already.

This is how (some?) travel time system work:

> Travel Time Systems work through the analysis of collected traffic data. This data can be collected via cellular providers, GPS vendors, mobile app vendors and most popularly through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Scanning. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi scanning technology makes use of non-intrusive roadside sensors to detect the unique addresses of the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radios inside of driver's vehicle and smartphone. By picking up a unique radio ID at one sensor location and then another these systems are able to calculate the travel time experienced from sensor A to sensor B for that unique vehicle/driver. These systems collect and calculate thousands of data points like this in order to determine the average travel time between any two sensors on the road.

They analyzed all studies about any of the different non-sugar sweeteners...

I bet there are some that are bad and some that are good, I'm waiting for more precise results.

In particular, it seems that stevia based sweeteners are rather innocuous or even good (e.g. lowering blood pressure).
There was a whole fiasco right now on the Halo: Infinite subreddit because someone downloaded Wireshark and started inspecting traffic and realized that each match uses 300mb. It's interesting that gaming invites non-technical people to comment on what is arguably the hardest type of development ever.

However a day later someone started inspecting more parts of the game and they figured out that the game transfers 1 GB of data very often, so I guess there's work to be done there. Nonetheless, the comments I see on subreddits from people who play video games is truly baffling.
Right, but "large amounts" of sugar. 250ml of juice (and yes, I know the suggest serving size of orange juice is much less than that, but it's very easy to drink a normal glass of it) is quite a few oranges.

Sugar is, like everything except plutonium, fine in moderation. But "in moderation" is not how sugar occurs in many modern diets.
1. Is it actually good to fire the lowest performers? In some cases, yes, if those performers actually add negative value by creating more problems than they solve. But if the simply are less productive than others, but still add positive value overall, maybe less so. You may lose institutional knowledge, team cohesion, or other intangibles that do not show in metrics.

2. Does your system actually correctly identify the lowest performers? If you believe that, you have more faith in metrics than I do.

3. Does every team have lowest performers that should be fired? I think that is the real toxic component here. I'm sure that all of us have occasionally met an underperformer that the company would have been better off without. But an automatism that every year, a blood tribute of N% shall be paid leads to all sorts of perverse incentives.
If my wife's caffeine withdrawal is any indication, you might want to be more concerned about your amount of caffeine intake rather than the sweeteners.
Many of us have had similar experiences. My best advice is to move on and avoid using PayPal in the future.
From what I've understood, the phosphoric acid is also a problem for the gut flora. With regular daily intake it will apparently kill certain bacterial cultures over time, and with that comes a set of new problems.

This is the punchline of every keto book. The whole ‘you just need to eat less calories to lose weight’ thing that has been pushed since post-WW2 despite having almost no solid evidence supporting it for long term weight loss.

The best one that destroys the woo-y history of calorie (and fat) obsessed health science (or lack of science) is the book “The Case for Keto” by the author who wrote “The Case Against Sugar” and “Good Calorie Bad Calorie”.
That was a pretty good “interview.” I don’t much agree with Thiel’s politics but I liked the book Zero To One.

I think we do have to adjust to a low growth economy, as does the rest of the world. Thiel’s forever growth will crap out when/if global supply chains collapse (take away the US Navy, and shipping becomes less convenient).

Indeed. When you find yourself inventing TLAs for simple concepts, you might ask if it's just to obscure that you don't know what you're doing.
I'm thinking there is a lot of context here I am missing as a layman. you can shift all the zones (including comfort zone) up and down the chart by adjusting the "mean outdoor temp" slider. people don't really work that way, unless we are assuming that they keep wearing their outdoor clothes inside maybe?
Dubious. Any Computer Scientist can tell you that any Turing complete system can emulate any other such system. Perhaps the Quantum aspect of reality makes the difference, but I deeply suspect it’s the same.

This is actually one of the classic "disasters" in Sim City 2000[1]. The "Microwave Powerplant" works by bouncing a concentrated beam of sunlight to earth. It provides plentiful, pollution free power... The only downside is sometimes the satellite beam misses, melting everything surrounding it.

Does that mean you can do something to make it transparently support IPv4 and IPv6 even though the docs mentions it only supports IPv4? Will it be more than 1 line of code?

> Honestly my experience with python has been "the solution you're looking for probably exists, but using it will require a lot of effort..."

I found it to be the opposite approach. The last time I wanted to increment a counter outside of a nested loop in Elixir it sprawled into a multi-week conversation with the author of Elixir, a git repo with 100+ programming language examples to solve the same problem[0] and a proposal on potentially altering Elixir itself to make this process a bit easier. The Python solution was about 2 minutes typing into my code editor and moving on with life.

Elixir solution: https://github.com/nickjj/nested-data-structure-traversal/bl...

Python solution: https://github.com/nickjj/nested-data-structure-traversal/bl...

I'm not saying either language is better than the other but there's certain things that can done a lot easier in Python and on the flip side I'm sure there's things you can do a lot easier in Elixir.

I found in practice for me personally when building typical web apps I kept running into roadblocks left and right with Elixir where as I never had these issues with Python or Ruby. That's why I stopped using Elixir.

I think that'll happen with any big framework, especially if you haven't contributed a ton of code to it. The Rails code base can be intimidating too and Phoenix's code isn't any more approachable to someone who isn't already at the high end of expert with the language.

This doesn't seem correct.

The same action happens when deleting the c and leaving the h. That could be explained by the user could have two channel redirecting, if the explanation were correct. The explanation doesn't seem correct, though. This supposed redirect doesn't happen when actualy going to the channels directly using https://www.youtube.com/c/watc or https://www.youtube.com/c/wath.

If those channels were setup to automatically redirect, then they would redirect, which they aren't. The explanation doesn't seem true.

Right, it’s well known that if you’re committed to getting probabilities out of amplitudes things go off the rails. Everett himself couldn’t go the full way.

Fully deterministic, you see the part of the wave function that you see. You’re entangled with the apparatus.

Deutsch, and his protege Marletto go the whole way: no free will, no arrow of time, no subjective human experience at all.

Now? No measurement problem. No interpretations of collapse.

These people have decided that the subjective experience of observing an experiment is of secondary importance to clean math.

I appreciate that “you and I don’t exist in any way we’d recognize it” is a big pill to swallow, but I find the idea that humans looking in microscopes mutates the universe a bigger pill.

Time to dump on them again: Vodafone has given me one of the worst Internet access experiences ever, in the middle of Europe. Their service is crap and people on the support line dare tell you, that you are a young person, so no need to get upset, when they give you shitte Internet service. They promise too much in their contracts and then cannot keep you a stable connection. Every now and then I get days, where the package loss is inacceptably high and my whole connection goes into garbage mode. Stay away from them if at all possible.
> If sites don't want to be found and indexed why go to any effort to include them?

The news sites etc. want to be indexed by Google, and they whitelist Google so they show up in search results. They don't want to be crawled by random aggregators and scrapers which don't bring them ad views and subscriptions. Indexing for me and not for thee.

Other places like Slack channels are private or semi-private and shouldn't be indexed, I agree. There was some kind of scheme a while back (before Freenode went down the tubes in a completely different and unrelated way) to index Freenode. People rightfully freaked out about it and the scheme was shot down.

You could say the same thing about Bitcoin. Fusion is in the VC hype cycle but there are no new developments that suggest it can become cheaper and more predictable than fission, which itself is dying, primarily because of financial uncertainties and risks.

On the contrary, physics suggest that performance scales with size, so even the extraordinary expensive ITER project is way too small to achieve engineering break even, let alone financial break-even. You will only hear about scientific break-even, which is a useless milestone because, yes, you get more energy than you put it, but you put electric energy and get fast neutron energy, only you need an order of magnitude more of that to get back the electricity you put in.

Understanding different types of break-even would be an obligatory primer to anyone navigating hyped fusion claims:
