>the probability of change in each system might not be high, but overall probability of general change is much higher - because it's multiplication of individual probabilities.

I get what the author is trying to say, but they had this one backward. Probabilities get smaller by multiplication. What he probably had in mind is :

- The probabilities of change events C1,...,Cn is P1,...,Pn

- The probability of no change at all is therefore (1-P1)(1-P2)...(1-Pn), which does indeed become smaller as more (independent) events C1,..., Cn are accounted for. And therfore the probability of change increases, but not because its a multiplication of probabilities, the exact opposite in fact, its because 1 - <multiplication of multiple probabilities>.

- Another way of phrasing the above is that, although each Pi might be small, their sum represents a sizable chunk of 1,therefore a significant probability. This only holds if events intersects minimally or not at all. This is a different assumption than that of independence.
Yeah and he didn't say anything about firing people. He said people should choose to leave if they don't fit.
>There are a lot of young entry-level help desk technicians that know how to do basic Windows troubleshooting.

I'd guess that's largely due to the fact that a large amount of Windows troubleshooting boils down to one of 3 things: Reseting the software to default, reinstalling the software completely, or reinstalling Windows.
It's accurate but imprecise.
Well the chinese are communists and not profit driven, what more could you ask for? (Hard /s)
As someone who can relate to the author in many ways, I'd argue you should consider stability more objectively. You compare states that have dissolved multiple times in a century against states that have been stable (relatively). Your own argument can be used to make the opposite point, judging by results alone.
Thanks! Would love to receive code contributions from rare folks like you who have binary analysis expertise. Currently, it uses strace to track process/net/fs system calls on Linux.
One reason an investor might consider bitcoin for their portfolio is precisely its volatility: bitcoin is not subject to the wash sale rule as long as it's not regulated like a security, so investors can sell into a loss for the tax benefit of offsetting their capital gains elsewhere, and repurchase immediately, avoiding the usual constraint of having to wait 30 days before repurchasing in order to claim the tax benefit of the realized loss. In this context, the price swings provide ample opportunity for tax optimization.
I thought they pulled back the "reject ideas of natural gifts and talents" in the most recent draft, after massive public outrage?
He's asking what additional information code injection would get them over already controlling the webview.
Agreed. The author makes a few comments in the second part of the series about how ships of gold were the main way to ferry money around and how if that went wrong it had sweeping consequences, too. Would be a really interesting series fro this author.
What if I don’t want my employer knowing I spent my BTC/ETH/etc on a porn website — so I want a way to disassociate the payment address they know from my spending account?

…or guns, alcohol, abortions, etc.

People have a need for privacy and disassociating spending from receiving for perfectly normal and legal reasons.
Interview with Gary Taubes
What solution did you switch do?
Though real world evidence suggests that the more accounts you use the less likely you are to use strong passwords and the more likely you are to reuse passwords.

It's not a big difference if because someone has 500 accounts they have 1 password across all 500 and a breach of one account is still a breach of all of them. With the added fun that dealing with that breach requires 500 touch points to change passwords.

You may not personally be in that situation. If you read HN you probably use a password manager. The average user generally is in this situation. Consolidating accounts decreases their exposure of weak passwords. It's a different conversation if we are using something stronger than passwords, but today 500 passwords is inhumane and increases the attack surface of average users.

I'll take plain text over WYSIWYG any day, thanks. Excel gives you some obvious way to do some things and stacks up a huge load of features so you can hack your problem into the Excel way. But the Excel way tends to be terrible from start to finish. People stopped doing Double-entry bookkeeping because it's somehow hard in the world's most used accounting software while saner programs like ledger-cli and beancount make it very easy. For any moderately complex work, coupling data and data manipulation is a very bad idea, and having both in an opaque, non-diffable, non-VCS-able file is just making hell out of everyone's life for no good reason.

I understand if you just want to put your data in a table and do some math with it. Sometimes it's all you know how to use and you end up doing something important with it, that's okay. Sometimes it's all your peers know how to use and you choose Excel because of them, that's great. Laziness and inertia are just facts of the world and we have to accept it exists, but please don't pretend we can't do better than Excel most of the time.
Finite state machines also have their cliffs, in particular bounded repetition. Rust's FA-based regex will explode with /.{12345}/, while v8's backtracking engine handles it no problem.
> I'm sure the military can/always is trying to cut money corners where it can

I doubt it. When the budget is billions of largely unaudited dollars and a senate that will approve any budget increases what reason is there to save money? I can’t imagine the nepotism found in military contracts are saving the military money when these companies gaining the contracts want as much tax-payer money as possible.
Are you going to tell me that European cities don’t have suburbs? Is it just infinite French cafes and attractive people on bicycles as far as the eye can see?

Because no it isn’t.
Not really. And I say this as someone who owns and frequently cooks with stainless steel, cast iron, and non-stick, I have for decades and also worked in a professional kitchen at one point.

Some things are always better in stainless or cast iron... I tend towards meats in cast iron and veggies in stainless, though it really depends.

Other things are easiest in nonstick, but can be learned in stainless, like eggs sunny-side up. Eggs overeasy without breaking the yolk is really hard though. You can do it, but it's not something you're gonna learn quick.

But there are still other things that you're basically insane to try in anything but nonstick, like thin light fish for example. Hence why professional kitchens still use lots of nonstick, even cooks who have all the technique you can have.

(And as wonderful as your cast iron patina may be, the idea that it's somehow equivalent to "nonstick" is utter nonsense. Obviously a patina is necessary, but it's not like frying eggs is ever any easier in cast iron than it is in stainless. As with stainless, any and all non-sticking is due to using lots of oil on top of a flat surface.)
Even if it has an igpu its probably leagues better than intels integrated graphics offerings, no?
The inhabited Minnesota and North Dakota areas haven't seen multiple weeks of -30C/-22F in a very long time. Global Warming has affected these places as well. Not to say it doesn't reach <-22F at times (only down to -10F for a day or 2 in 2020 for Fargo, ND), but it's never weeks of that cold.
I absolutely do not care one way or the other.

Starlink can get full ocean-wide coverage with software today, or hardware after they have lofted enough of it, their choice. Immediate practicality depends on how fast they deploy marine and aircraft terminals. Full coverage of course depends on having lots of such terminals. They could speed that up if they care to.
Yes, it turns out to be pretty broad. Three members out of a five member city council all liking the same Facebook comment in a public group about an upcoming item on the city council agenda is enough to constitute a Brown Act violation.

Thank you. But I was hoping for a one sentence summary that begins somewhat like: "Crichton's famous 'Gell-Mann Amnesia' effect is usually misunderstood, Crichton actually wanted to say ..."

I thought OP's comment was interesting, but that it would be unfortunately ignored, because one must read most of the comment to begin to understand what OP is trying to say, and then read it again, with that knowledge, to really understand.

And in fact, I think I was right, because the comment has not received the attention it probably deserves

> So, if you make things harder and someone comes along that invests more effort to overcome, can you really call that a vulnerability?

Yes? This is defense in depth. Anything that bypasses a defense is still a vulnerability, even if your backup defenses protect you.

Defending physical hardware is indeed a theoretical impossibility as on paper, it will always be possible to make a perfect electrical clone of the original hardware and then modify it to suit. However, reality is different, and mitigations against physical access have become much more effective in recent years (iPhone anti-jailbreaking and the Xbox One come to mind as fairly successful).

So, this is a vulnerability indeed, just not a high severity one. One layer of the defenses are bypassed, but the remaining defenses remain.

What I was trying to explain is affirmative action is based off an assumption that black and brown kids need more help to get into good schools, over Asian kids or white kids. This is just not the case, each individual has their own story, their own challenges.
AFAICT, homeostatic temperature in humans does not vary by a great deal. It is 37±1°C always. I haven't come across a study where any large deviation was stated.

Human bodies lose heat very quickly. We evolved from a primate line which lived in South Central African plains. Our hand/feet digits are great radiators. Although still debated, our skin tone originally could have been light, much like the skin under the primate coats (with brown and African skin tones being later developments in evolution, when we started to get less furry & produced higher melatonin). So the evidence generally points in the direction that we are just another warm-blooded species without much thermal attributes. Given that, environment should show some kind of statistical difference if this cancer pathway's reliance on temperature is so pronounced. Its hard to measure, because there are several confounders in the biochemistry. It is also hard to find a body of people who have lived in both cold & hotter climates simultaneously to make direct comparisons

Edit: some more details.
Very unlikely. Hal Finney is the more likely candidate.

Adam is/was not a good programmer like Satoshi was.
Satoshi was in favor of alt coins in Adam is notoriously against them.
"Adam put enough effort into proclaiming that Bitcoin was based on the concept of HashCash that, if he was Satoshi, Satoshi would have given HashCash more credit." - Another HN User.
Satoshi had a positive attitude and Adam is notoriously unpleasant.

Hal is a great programmer, worked for Phil Zimmerman on PGP.
Hal is the first person Satoshi contacted, first person to mine outside Satoshi (op sec).
Hal was aware of all the prior works that failed, b-money, bit gold, hashcash, etc.
Linguistic analysis of the Bitcoin whitepaper and Satoshi's forum posts most closely match Hal's writings.
Hal lived in the same town for 10 years as did Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto.
Hal died of ALS shortly after Satoshi disappeared (he knew it was coming and that he couldn't continue).
This idiom is largely retired in modern C++.

It's generally better to simply not implement operator= and take the compiler generated default implementation for both copy and move assignment. Then design your class to have semantics such that member-wise assignment does the Right Thing (tm). C style. If you want an idiom for this it's generally called the 'Rule of Zero'

You list Dogecoin for comedy purposes as a valid reason yet ignore the practical benefits of greater anonymity with Monero.

I'm no coin expert, but if I were to hypothetically buy some illegal psychedelic drops off the dark webs, I'd gravitate towards Monero or a Monero-likes over Dodgecoin. There are plenty of scammy coins, but there are also ones that fill a niche.
Russia does not have the capability of destroying Starlink because the amount of upmass required to destroy them is larger then what the Russians can actually do.

No, I just copy pasted it from a ReactOS install. Binary compatibility is their goal (WinDbg thinks it's debugging Windows Server 2003, so they did a good job!), but last I heard they have to do some funky stuff in some places to be able to make use of WINE.

Or it could be because of the compatibility: XP's explorer doesn't run on 10, so we shouldn't expect its clone to run either! But I had to try :)

Still, considering it's open source and the closest thing what I do want, starting with this and stripping out the taskbar might get me a good result.

Same with MSPaint: just spent several days trying to get the leaked XP MSPaint to compile, to no avail. Looks like I'd have better luck starting with ReactOS's paint clone and modifying it so it's feature complete and has the original icons :)

Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting it was only India. I was saying there's something western-centric about dating things to Galileo. However...

> Nobody, however, methodically delved into lunar makeup and origins in a way remotely scientific, in part because the scientific method is a relatively recent invention.

Fair point. If you're saying that anything prior to the scientific method (or that doesn't utilize the scientific method) doesn't count as science, I can see this argument and am happy to concede the point.
It would be a massive oversight to claim "Amazon is not interested in political elections". Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post for a reason. Influencing politics is part of the way they take your money. Manufactured consent, political suppression, corporate lobbying, these are all things that every single Fortune 100 company is engaging in heavily at this point.

Less is more is what most code should strive for these days. The copy/move ctors and assignment ops should be rare and are often a single resp violation otherwise. Code like optional or smart pointers sure, they are fair game for that, but business logic generally shouldnt bother.

I think the real thing that's difficult is-- every installation is different, in the geometry of the turbines, turbine sizes, terrain shape, etc.

Even if you have a perfect implementation of this, and you don't need to deploy new networks, etc, and you put in a lot of NRE to make this easy deploy... how much engineering effort is still needed to start squeezing 1-2% out of a wind farm?
In the most general form, ideologies which include an orthodoxy-heresy dichotomy in assemblage out-compete those which don't. The development of orthodoxy itself was a quantum leap in the progression of human thought, and it contributed to both the spread of early Christianity as well as the hatred toward it in (late)-antiquity as its adherents were perceived to be annoyingly self-righteous.

Orthodoxy-containing ideologies characteristically participate in a hegemonic form reality building. But, basing ethical judgements about a particular ideology singularly on whether or not it contains an orthodoxy-heresy component is a poor measure. There are better arguments than, "I'm against the orthodoxy" or "this person is a heretic."

Instead, I maintain that ethical judgements of ideologies should be based on their material outcomes, though this often overlaps with judgements involving the grounding of what makes someone an adherent or heretic, the material benefits granted to adherents of the orthodoxy, and punishments to which heretics are subjected.

I default to 2.3x plus silence skipping and I know people who go faster. Most conversational podcasts run effectively at 3x with the silence skipping. It sounds like gibberish for a second or two and then once the focus comes in it's normal. I can't listen to things are normal speed. I started out at 1.5 and then went up in .1 increments over time until it was too much. I still tune some faster speakers back to 2 or 1.1, but that is the minimum. I was always a piss-slow reader so I prefer to listen to things, but anything close to 1x just takes forever.
Combining characters are the most obvious problem.

Both of these are visually identical as "naïve", however the first is written with "ï" being a single code point, while the second is an "i" followed by a combining dieresis. In the first example, the dieresis correctly stays attached to the i, while in the second dieresis incorrectly moves to the v. To do it right, you have to scan through the string and keep the base character and all combining characters in order.

"na\u00efve".split("").reverse().join("") // CORRECT: "evïan" "ev\u00efan"

"nai\u0308ve".split("").reverse().join("") // INCORRECT: "ev̈ian". Should have been "evi\u0308an", not "ev\u0308ian".
Also fair, I think.
Copy-and-swap/move is fun and all, but what they don't point out to you about it is that it prevents the base class operator= from being called when there's inheritance (because it's bypassing operator= entirely).

i.e. it might be fine at the app-level since you might know all your callers in that case, but you shouldn't do it in a library that others might want to use, or your code will behave erratically.
