Yes, this might be a reasonable argument. You'd be in a bad place as an EU company trying to operate in the US right now. Perhaps the US should quit passing spy law and we can go back to cooperating.

Sometimes, I wonder if us humans even know or care that we are taking things too far. I am all for progress and going beyond, but deepfake and all these other recent AI developments are taking us to a dystopian future which I am not super hopeful about.
> This is why self-help book readers tend to keep reading self-help books. 4 weeks after finishing one they need another hit of epiphanies.

I read a lot of business books that could be categorized as "self-help". I tend to continuously read them because

1. I'm aware how difficult behavior change

2. It's valuable to have more than 1 perspective.

3. Few things have had an outsized impact on my career. I do not know what those are until weeks/months/years after reading a book.

For me, I'm not looking to read a single book to emulate it fully. I'm looking to read 4 or 5 books, shape my overall perspective, then have 2 to 4 things stick very, very deeply. Lastly, I can always come back to a specific book when I loosely remember it being applicable.

> What I feel is missing in the exercise app landscape is a product that is highly-usable to people and spans all types of activity.

I have seen these features in exercise apps for nearly 10 years now. Fitbit's help page specifically mentions all of them except softball[1].

I don't really understand how this could go into a single chart. A chart of... what? A chart would make sense if the data is hours, heart rate, etc., but it's not really possible to know things like how many calories the person burned. Someone playing third base in softball is going to burn far fewer calories than, say, the pitcher.

If the chart is just hours, then there are an endless number of apps that help you log exercise, including differentiating based no time and intensity.

I'm not saying this is doomed to fail because of competition, but I think the competition is going to make it hard to break through the noise that consumers hear all the time.

> Maybe we can think of a highly-leveraged trade like someone maxing out their back squat on their first day in the gym and severely injuring themselves.

I genuinely get what you're saying, but I majored in finance, worked in finance, and have founded fintechs. This is emphatically not a "middle of the road," average-consumer messaging strategy.

Robinhood's innovation wasn't removing barriers to investing. You could get free trades and access to varied asset classes with a lot of companies, starting all the way back in the early 2000s.

Robinhood is notable because they harnessed the boredom, restlessness, and cash excesses of the pandemic. There's a reason WallStreetBets always had screenshots from Robinhood: it was catering specifically to risk-agnostic amateur investors, and it encouraged them to do risky and stupid things.

That's not a model for an exercise app. I think you should just drop the Robinhood/finance comparison entirely, because it's going to confuse people. I'm still a little confused by it.

I do like the idea of gamifying exercise, but again, there has been a glut of exercise apps (using all different approaches) and nothing has really stuck except Strava and some of the ones that are tied to fitness trackers.

Nobody thinks it's funny.

But what happened is subtle. It's not that GOP voters in the Illinois 3rd are sympathetic to Nazis. It's that a stray dog wearing a Democratic party sweater would have a better chance of being elected in that district than a Republican, so no serious Republican will run for the seat (when you run in a district, lose, and then try to run somewhere else, you're tarred as a carpetbagger). So the only people that run for these ultra-safe seats are lunatics.

But most people don't actually know that! You have to be a political nerd to follow stuff like this. To normal people, the specifics of a congressional candidate are as opaque as the Cubs starting shortstop is to me (is shortstop a thing? is that one of those differences between the NL and the AL?). You take my point.

So really, they're just voting for the party, and not for the candidate, and this particular Nazi took advantage of it.

I wish more preppers would focus on rebuilding the modern supply chain as fast as possible. As long as there's a chip fab, a car factory, a lab that makes medicine, the priority should be to get it running and defend it.

There will be people who want to loot or destroy it. Ecofascist primitivists could even be one of the major groups involves. But in a lot of disaster scenarios it should be possible to get a modern farm and the most critical labs running at least for a while, and start working on sustainable supplies.

In some scenarios there might not really be any physical disruption at all besides the economy, starvation, or war not leaving time to keep tech running.

I almost get the feeling a lot of preppers don't even want the modern world to exist though. They'd rather have privacy and hard work that see everyone sheltered in office jobs again.
Agreed, but you have "cancel subscription" as the first action. The card provider does not, they just say "end free trials automatically with auto-expiring
virtual cards" and "cancel subscription payments in one click", without having to cancel the actual subscription.

Doing both is fine (and I do the same), but only removing the payment method does not invalidate the subscription contract, right?
Good point. I’m still wary of just assuming (if that’s what we’re doing here?) that old established organizations you’d expect to be secure are in fact secure. For example I would have expected credit rating agencies to be secure…

Mandatory reporting certainly helps IMO. Reporting should be mandatory for anyone handling PII.

A commenter above pointed out GM's "super cruise" feature. A much safer choice of language for the same thing Tesla was initially offering

Tesla chose to go with "autopilot" because they sell people what they wanna hear. It's irresponsible and unsafe

> This is another version of the "guns don't kill people, people do" argument.

And no actually this is quite the opposite argument.

> The data shows that people are more irresponsible with the autopilot technology. Does this fault fall on the drivers or manufacturer.

Just like the fact that tools are specifically built in a way that makes them much more likely to be used to kill people, the fact that Tesla's are made and marketed the way they are makes them much more likely to be lead to people being irresponsible

I think you got the arguments backwards buddy. you're exactly the one who's making a version of the "guns don't kill people, people do" argument

Sure, and US can pass a law saying that safety regulations of Airbus planes made in France are not sufficient either. Americans just don’t like flying in unsafe planes!

If you talk to actual people in Europe, outside of HN, you’ll find that overwhelming majority of people do not give a flying fuck about the “safety of their data” from US government. They just blissfully post shit on Facebook with no care in the world. This matter is a concern mostly to politicians and to activist hacker types.

This is not to say that this is not a valid concern to have, but I’d like people to spare me pretending that it’s about politicians caring about people’s rights, when just past few years they trampled all the rights in the interest of fighting coronavirus (and if you want to argue that it was all worth it, because the goal justified the means, keep in mind that the US government can say the exact same thing about its data access!). This is just standard power politics, a protectionist trade war whitewashed with talk about “rights” and “privacy”, only surprising thing is how people on HN are gobbling it up. I guess maybe that’s just willful ignorance - by pretending you don’t understand why EU actually attacks American companies like that, you might actually get some extra privacy protections you care about.

But this won't encourage more competition in the EU, it will limit the number of competitors by creating an insurmountable barrier to entry for foreign providers. This is akin to import controls, which often cause stagnation, and generally lead to more costly and inferior goods.

Automated Reasoning at Amazon: A Conversation
I’ve been tempted to pick up an adjunct section of algebra at a local community college and invert the usual style of teaching and start with word problems. A lot of people have an intuitive sense of how to figure out, say, how to scale a recipe but when it gets turned into symbolic math it becomes a challenge for them. I’d kind of like to take advantage of that and start from the word problem and then move to how to turn that into symbols so that instead of thinking y = 1.4x-2.8 we'd say think in terms of you pay $1.40 for each donut but the first two are free. If all the x² and x³ have particular meanings, you’re less like to think that x²+x³ = x⁵ but recognize that you can’t simplify the expression until you know what x is.

> You're right I didn't articulate when to handle an issue locally vs. pass it up.

I'm saying this is an everybody problem. Most of us just pass the buck by default. It can take quite a bit of cajoling to get error passing pushed back down to the layer that can best cope with it, once it has escaped up the stack. And when we split teams horizontally, instead of vertically, this happens practically all the time.

This is one of the primary reasons I push for feature teams instead of client/server teams. The distance between, "I think this is done" and "this is ready to go to production" is mercifully small, instead of unknowable.
They're two different things. The Internet was invented in the US. I'm European as well, but not sure why you'd need to overreach to claim we invented the Internet.

As pointed out in other comments, this article doesn't discuss the fundamental prerequisite for replayability, which is to build a core loop that is fun and rewarding. The fact that there are so many definitions of "rewarding" (challenging, relaxing, aesthetically pleasing, competitive, collectability) makes the solution space huge, and loot tables and biomes are a very small fraction.
Believe it or not, the S&P 500 returns something like 90%+ of net income to shareholders.

That’s because net income is after R&D spend etc. is accounted for.

The argument for retaining net income is that you have future capital expenses that you want to save for (like factories or servers), but that’s an increasingly less pressing need for modern companies.

Given the above, companies can choose to return that net income as cash, but then shareholders have to redeploy immediately (and potentially in competitors’ stocks/bonds) OR companies can choose to buy back and burn their own shares, allowing shareholders to defer any decisions and keeping all capital locked up in the company’s stock.
Could you link to something backing up what you are saying? I'm curious about the facts of the matter, and also why a comment like yours (factually correct or incorrect it is pretty innocuous) appears downvoted.

Proofs rely on assumptions. In this case, they state outright:

Obviously this assumption will be false in our physical universe, but that doesn't make the proof itself invalid (edited).

That's true, however whoever provided you with the card is responsible for ensuring you are not misusing it.

I once had a trial with a company and added my Privacy.com card that would expire in a day. I've canceled that trial and forgot about it. Then some time later I had to use the same company, but I've totally forgotten that I had an account with them (I've also changed the email I use). Anyways, privacy.com suspended my account because using their cards to get trials over and over again is against their ToS.

Standups can be everyday and be useful. We do them via Slack and they take, maybe 3 minutes? 1 minute to perhaps type up your own standup to share and another 2 minutes to read the rest of the team's. They're quick hitters to get a simple baseline of the day and a snapshot from others on where they're at. Sometimes it can be redundant if you spoke to someone else the evening before about a thing they're trying to do, only to read about it in some form again the next morning. But that does not happen all that often.

Unfortunately, going to once a week or twice a week means teams will tend to drag them out for longer. They become more like discussion meetings or "status" meetings rather than super brief snapshots of the plan of attack for just one day.
My first request was a Captain Beefheart lyric ("making love to a vampire with a monkey on my knee") because I wanted to see how it would take something concrete "monkey on my knee" and integrate it with not only a metaphor, but one that had changed over time ("making love" used to refer making out, a.a.a. prolonged kissing, rather than sex). Additionally, I wanted to see if it had hoovered up a rendition of that exact lyric off of Exploding Dog (an artist makes odd drawings from submitted phrases and prompts) some twenty-two years prior.

Of all of the celebrities, it seemed reticent to draw Fred Rogers as, well, Fred Rogers, despite me being able to make some fairly appalling melds of others, like Rod Serling and Marilyn Monroe.

It's cute math, but doesn't take into account the inexplicable differences between the retention of seemingly similar facts. Some items stick very well, whereas others suffer from lapses.

In my Ankid ecks, I have items that have 10+ year intervals. And some, which were introduced at around the same time as those, which have intervals in months, beaten down by lapses.

Anyone who thinks that some simple math leads to infinite recall has not suddenly lapsed on a card whose interval had reached 7 years.

Even more than with tech stacks, deferring on-call process to "Google does it this way so we should do it this way" feels like a terrible idea. There's maybe ten companies in the world that have Google's scale and needs in this regard, and even though it would probably be good for their developers for Facebook to adopt Google's processes based on what I see in this thread, they also probably won't.

The rest of us have to muddle with questions like, how do we do it if we only have 20 people and they're only in two time zones and only half of those really know how to diagnose and recover a corrupted filesystem? A Google-like approach to error-budget-centric risk management just doesn't fit into that world.
But when is about TikTok I see most americans have completely different values, no sorry americans are consistent, only US citizens deserve rights, the rest can be spied on, tortured,killed etc. Give EU citizens same privacy rights and there so no need to start an economic war because some NSA fat and lazy agent does not want to prepare a file to request a warrant. If you are at it, maybe is tiem to let US citizens that killed people(like in car crashes abroad) to get their fair trial and punishment too.

We have rights too, you are not more special and deserve more basic human rights because citizenship.

The web server example scares me.

Something happened during execution that the programmer didn't expect. There's a bug in the program. What if the panic is due to memory corruption (less likely in Rust) or internal data structure corruption?

Without knowledge to the contrary, swallowing a panic and YOLO'ing execution is driving full speed down the road of very poorly defined behavior.

If the programmer had sufficient knowledge to conclude it was safe, they could have just used a Result<> to report the error.

So ... don't make panic part of your API, and don't recover from panics?
The capital gains / income tax rates have only a minor impact on the weight of growth in valuation models. One way to see this without getting to technical: there are a number of (very large) institutional investors that pay no tax at all (university endowments, charities, etc). If what you're saying is true, untaxed investors would have radically different allocations than similar taxed investors. That's not the case.
There has never been a vote on KYC/AML policies and my research does not turn up any neutral sources suggesting the population strongly supports these rules.

In fact history shows that these rules are almost all dictated by a small group of people with little to no public input. Over a hundred years ago none of these laws existed and society survived. 100 years from now I doubt these concepts will be widespread and society will still function well.
