Wasn’t there at least right triangle math for sin = adjacent/hypotenuse and cos = opposite/hypotenuse? This sounds like serious educational malpractice.¹

⸻

1. Although when I think about educational malpractice, I remember a program I was teaching in where the director asked me about why the numerator and denominator were called what they were and I explained the denominator identified what kind of fraction (and made the analogy to denominations of currency) and the numerator was how many (the “number”) of that kind of fraction. She then, that same day, gave a talk to the assembled teachers saying that she’d asked me and I’d said that’s just what they were called. I nearly stood up and screamed in anger. If I hadn’t desperately needed the money, I would have quit on the spot.
Chess and Go are only popular for legacy reasons, they shouldn't be used as examples of good game design. People care about the complexity in those games only because of the legacy culture and competitions, people would never care about them as new games without all that history.

I can only read what you type. You seem to be talking about instant (seconds is instant in finance) money transfers.
All credit card business models seem to be a variation of:

1) payment for volume (I.e. sharing some of the transaction fees generated with customers in the form of points/miles/etc), and/or

2)credit underwriting (I.e. extending credit to profitably (in-excess of the sun of their default risk and your funding costs))
The Mormons are fascinating for many reasons and highly skilled at building a certain kind of American community. One of the things they are best at is spinning their clean scrubbed version of history, which as with many groups has as many despicable acts as heroic ones. They were indeed quite persecuted on their flight across the continent, but that traumatic origin story doesn't justify to me some of the less attractive aspects of modern day LDS culture.

> Really? In some places in Europe, people were starting to get excited about dial-up BBSes in the mid nineties.

What is your point exactly?
Half of europe was still transitioning to a market economy or in a (civil) war/conflict in the 90's.

I am also sure, that a lot of places in the US didn't have internet access in the 90's.
This article is about the creation of new ARPAs without the D, which are explicitly not about defense. They are rather are meant to take DARPA’s model and apply it to other areas (climate, energy, health). Organizationally speaking, they’re unrelated, being under different federal agencies depending on the area. They may borrow some of DARPA’s glamor but they aren’t considered defense projects. So your comment doesn’t seem applicable.
I'm not sure what you're saying. Do you mean that each individual is supposed to know where every site is based instead of having country-wide/EU-wide protections in place?

As someone who been doing Clojure for the last couple of years, haven't had any difficulties at all. The competition for roles is usually really small. Depends on if you're aiming for remote/in office though, as in office will depend on your local scene a lot (of course).
Visual representation is not logical, it works according to gestalt principles. [1] Visual improvements would not be used to represent the program logic but secondary notation to improve and accelerate understanding. [2]

All they had to do was keep making a decent browser.

They engaged in what I can only describe as deliberate and systematic sabotage of the brand and any competitive advantages they might have had.

That being said, I'm not sure the outcome could have been averted. Like you said, since Google was the hand that fed them and Google has their own browser, Mozilla could have only slowed down the inevitable, not prevented it.
I am all for a free and open internet. If you want to connect to a computer in Russia or United States, that is ok, think about what happens to your data, if you care about that, or don't.

But here we are talking about whether the German government should use hosting centers, for their governmental software, they know are accesible to US intelligence services.

The answer to that is: Of course not.
Capital One makes you download a browser extension for some reason which I refuse to do. There is no other way to use them, not online not in the app. It's the craziest thing I've seen.

packet based networking was invented in the US...

The internet was created by meshing many different networks together (mostly ARPANET and SFNET).

Networks which now form the backbone of the internet also existed in europe at the time, mainly in britain and france.
Playing devil's advocate: sometimes your build is non-reproducible, annoying to build, or both (for instance, needing a proprietary tool which can only run on a particular developer's laptop because the license is tied to that particular hardware, and which crashes half of the time for no particular reason). Keeping the build artifacts in the repository means you can reproducibly obtain that exact artifact, even years into the future.
So are you saying that has nothing to do with their upbringing? If someone were born to Rich parents, but adopted by poor parents they would still have those same traits? Seems like there's a lot more to it than what womb you came out of.

I agree genetics could play a small role, but I think developmental environment is a much larger part of the picture

This is a very very bad description of why Buchanan sent troops to Utah. Utah really was effectively a theocracy and it really was refusing to enforce US law, especially wrt polygamy.

Quoting from
https://www.dialoguejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/sbi/artic...,

Contrary to what many have long assumed, Buchanan’s decision to intervene in Utah was not based on the despised Judge W.
W. Drummond’s letter of resignation sent from New Orleans in early April 1857. That letter “recited nearly every accusation of Mormon disloyalty and perfidy that had accumulated during the prior ten years” and portrayed Utah as a “territory out of control,” with Governor Brigham Young as “the prime offender” (116).
MacKinnon shows that the real catalyst for sending troops to Utah was “the substance and rhetoric in at least three other batches of material received in Washington during the third week of March 1857, weeks before the government was aware of Drummond’s resignation” (100).

The first decisive documents were the Utah legislature’s two memorials urging the appointment of only Mormons to territorial offices. As Utah delegate John M. Bernhisel reported to Young, they were seen as “a declaration of war,” breathing “a defiant spirit” and “not respectful” (106). The second document was a letter sent by Drummond probably before he left California for New Orleans and unrelated to his later letter of resignation. It detailed the impossibility of enforcing federal laws in Utah. Two more letters arrived the same week from Utah Judge John F.
Kinney to Attorney General Jeremiah S. Black. Kinney gave more examples of the subversion of U.S. law in Utah and recommended that Buchanan replace Young as governor and establish an army garrison in the territory. The second Kinney letter enclosed a message from Utah’s Surveyor General David H. Burr, which included his dramatic assessment that any new governor risked assassination; Burr, too, recommended a military force.

The Great Salt Lake is not only shrinking/drying, but there's concern over the exposure of dangerous elements that was once underwater

> Layers of earth that were formerly underwater have swirled into dust clouds laced with calcium, sulphur and arsenic, a naturally occurring element linked to cancer and birth defects. Exposed lakebed is also contaminated with residue from copper and silver mining.

> "If you breathe that dust over an extended period of time, like decades or longer, then it can lead to increases in different types of cancer, like lung cancer, bladder cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and such," Perry, from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, told Reuters on a recent morning on Farmington Bay.

> More than just humans are endangered. Underwater reef-like structures host a micro-organism that is food for brine shrimp, in turn an important food for birds, but the structures dry out and turn gray when exposed.

Has it been out of the box long enough to validate that the adult versions of the embryos exhibit the traits that they're supposed to? Is it a noticeable intelligence boost? For example, a standard deviation higher IQ as measured by Raven's Progressive Matrices, compared to siblings from un-screened embryos? I read enough about biotech and biohacking that I feel like I would have already come across reports if this really works, but maybe it's very recent.

I read Gwern's "Embryo Selection for Intelligence" a few years ago:

https://www.gwern.net/Embryo-selection

Near future possibilities seemed pretty limited based on that review, unless the reasoning was incorrect:

As median embryo count in IVF hovers around 5, the total gain from selection is small, and much of the gain is wasted by losses in the IVF process (the best embryo doesn’t survive storage, the second-best fails to implant, and so on). One of the key problems is that polygenic scores are the sum of many individual small genes’ effects and form a normal distribution, which is tightly clustered around a mean. A polygenic score is attempting to predict the net effect of thousands of genes which almost all cancel out, so even accurate identification of many relevant genes still yields an apparently unimpressive predictive power. The fact that traits are normally distributed also creates difficulties for selection: the further into the tail one wants to go, the larger the sample required to reach the next step—to put it another way, if you have 10 samples, it’s easy (a 1 in 10 probability) that your next random sample will be the largest sample yet, but if you have 100 samples, now the probability of an improvement is the much harder 1 in 100, and if you have 1000, it’s only 1 in 1000; and worse, if you luck out and there’s an improvement, the improvement is ever tinier. After taking into account existing PGSes, previously reported IVF process losses, costs, and so on, the implication that it is moderately profitable and can increase traits perhaps 0.1SD, rising somewhat over the next decade as PGSes continue to improve, but never exceeding, say, 0.5SD.
Hmm, hacking in a stereo line level out seems more worthwhile. Chip amps can be found super cheap, and will likely give better results (as would a traditional amp)
It looks like you use PayPal for the payments.

How do you do all the tax reporting / payments one has to deal with when selling internationally?

As far as I know, you have to collect the country of every customer and if they are an individual or a company, and then send reports and pay taxes to their country of origin.

How do you manage that?
A browser these days is a mini-OS running inside an OS. A browser that tried to be just an HTML/JS rendering engine with a basic UI would fail just like FF is failing, despite getting glowing reviews from HN/reddit.

And I could say that americans are too poor to have heated bathroom floors, but that'd be ignorant.

Europe is much further north and has significantly colder climate than the US: https://imgur.com/oIjh5eQ The main concern is insulation and heating, not cooling, hence much more expensive buildings overall compared to cheap wooden homes in the US.
Except you can’t disagree that you’re responsible for contracts you agreed to? How is that questionable.

Predatory services should be avoided. It seems more likely that predatory services would be aggressive about collecting.

A German court can not, in fact, serve a court order to Volkswagen America. (Technically it can, but the order is not enforceable.) A German court is also forbidden to force Volkswagen AG to reach into Volkswagen America because these are separate legal entities.

A German court would use judicial assistance and ask US law enforcement to help. US law enforcement would then adhere to local laws and protect the rights of US citizens while trying to help.

This is named Mutual legal assistance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_legal_assistance_treaty .

Right, but this subthread is about it being fine for people to prefer the sound of less accurate systems, just not to claim those systems are objectively superior.

The poster I'm replying to is then acting like it's some weird audiophile belief that records sound different from other media.

On the topic of the overall article, of course the people who believe a digital processing step makes things inherently worse are absolutely off their rockers.
> Users upgrading cheaper, over-provisioned, possibly loss-leading hardware to get more expensive functionality means no one would buy the more expensive model, which would drive up the cost of the cheaper one.

No, not really. If you think tinkering people who would open up their IKEA Symfonisk has a nontrivial overlap with Sonos customers, you're in for a surprise. Richer "nice off-the-shelf device" people will stay that way, DIY with an IKEA speaker people will also stay that way.

What it does is it really encourages tinkering, thinking and innovation in the small fraction of people who would do that. It breeds better engineers, more engaged teenagers, a more flexible society. So really - all the positives and almost none of the negatives.
Ask HN: Does anyone use FreeBSD or OpenBSD as a daily environment?
Over the years, I've used MacOS and Linux, sometimes switching between the two. I'm curious to know if any readers use one of these BSD distros as a daily driver/dev environment, especially on laptops.

NOTE: Not seeking to start an OS flame war or info dump of what BSD is.
>survival is far too low of a bar

Correct. I sometimes invite coworkers to partake in a thought experiment where they anthropomorphize the company (and/or codebase) they work at imagining, if it were a person, what state of health would it be in? This usually engenders a chuckle or two of some sort as they picture someone whom, though they are surviving, is otherwise in seriously poor health and does well to illustrate to them that if they were this individual they would likely be striving to significantly improve their quality of life and not just merely maintain status-quo of still having a pulse being the measure of success.
The author's criticism of these cards is not that they don't build an individual's credit record, but that they reduce the decision-making power of the credit scoring system as a whole. Given the unpleasant and coercive nature of the credit scoring system, that seems like a good thing
Seems very well executed. Congrats!

When I last had a need for something like this confidentiality was a major concern (it was at a small-ish but publicly traded company). Not quite at the level of needing signed contracts, but at the same time something more than a random web service someone unnamed threw together would be required.

I notice that you haven't put your names and backgrounds on the site - that would help in building credibility. Demonstrating the YC backing would also help.

Worst drought yet. But seriously where I live everything is dead. We are left with two seasons, winter and autumn, both hot and dry.

Our farmers are not big on innovation, and the government keeps making them whole, so they can keep running everything to the ground. People who are not farmers aren't concerned either, for them food comes from Aldi and not the dirt.

First party and retained are both paid to recruit not only when someone is hired, the difference is internal employee of HR vs contracted outsider.

Everyone else is contingent. The difference is whether or not there is a contract with the employer before the recruiter talks to candidates.

On the first party and retained side, contracted recruiters have less incentive to jerk a candidate around because their relationship with the candidate potentially extends beyond a single employer. A first party recruiter is more likely to tire kick candidates for roles that don’t exist.

So, this to me is interesting. I did a ShowHN today at around the same time as this, but it gets little to no views, but I followed the rules. This doesn't seem to follow the rules at all:

" Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread. "

This is just a medium post, no actual product, but it then makes the front page. Seems like the only way to actually get traction on ShowHN is to not follow the rules and actually ask people you know (or users of your site) to generate discussion/ up vote it. Mine didn't even make it to the actual ShowHN, just got stuck in the Show New.
