C -> D

When B and D occur (within a window) -> Error

It is that connection between B and D that needs to be discovered.
How odd, I've never come across that definition of paradox. I've always understood it to be purely self-contradictory, like: This sentence is false. If I take it to be false, it's true; if I take it to be true, it's false. The proper understanding is that it actually has no semantic meaning, but it certainly doesn't prove to be well-founded or true.

Using "paradox" for something like this concept though is along the lines of also using it for the phenomenon of people appearing to vote against their self-interest. They keep doing it, we don't understand why - it might be that they're stupid, it might be that we don't understand enough of their perspective, but it just doesn't strike me as a paradox. Not unless every phenomenon we don't understand is also a paradox. Are software bugs paradoxes?

After Robinhood's data breach, I get tons of cryptocurrency-related phishing emails sent to "robinhood@mydomain.com". I've had a few other vendors sell / lose my email, such as an escape room in another city.
The argument is that they aren't considering phenotype information when they are solving crimes. How would that information even be used? A lawyer would have a stronger argument arguing a predisposition to criminality on environmental factors: a broken home, being raised when leaded gas was used, etc, versus arguing in terms of genetic association. These studies are not very robust connecting behavior and genetics because environment is a huge factor that explains the observed variances in these phenotypes.

That being said, these data are being used for actually legally actionable things: first order pattern recognition using the same legal frameworks as fingerprints. Not second order "what do these patterns actually do in the body" or third order "what do these functions in the body do for the individual", each of which would probably take a PhD project to work out.
Adaptive and Destructive Refactoring
I appreciate the comment but I don't much like the personal comments.
I'm married with a husband and two kids. I make an extra effort to stay connected, but many people don't and maybe can't.

My brother committed suicide because of loneliness and depression. So when I read articles about women and men being lonely and on tons of mental health meds, I think something went wrong in our society and I have a personal connection to this.

Most people WANT to be in families, and have relationships. Humans are social creatures. A world with out religion doesn't seem to be keeping the promises of a better life. Religion filled a void for many people, and I don't think medication can replace it.

I'm not sure what the path forward is, but I think the first step is admitting we have a major problem in our culture.
How does one decide who flips the coin. Whoever flips is at a disadvantage since the coin is flipped on a tie of die roles. The outcomes of the flip are another die roll or the other player goes.

Also quite strange that you can't quit until there are 3 pieces per player left. How is that supposed to be enforced? Domestic violence or something?
"potentially" misleading :)

Color me extremely dubious that this will end up being a good deal for the renters, unless they're the very high end ones. To generate VC-worthy returns, there needs to be a significant cash extraction from the renters. VCs will care about value when the company goes public or gets acquired, the valuation could total fluff to that point but there needs to be a better profit for this venture over traditional real estate or it's not particularly attractive. The delta between reality-distortion valuation and real-reality valuation is what got Adam his platinum parachute the first time around.

I suspect the innovations are about monitoring the denizens and monetizing the data.

But, open mind, there may be innovations around how apartment buildings get tied to infrastructure, to the other resources of the city, to maintenance, energy, disposal services that provide efficiency without acting like a landlord.
I don't know exactly, but my educated guess is that they form multiple normal Bluetooth audio connections to multiple devices. The standard allows this and the bandwidth should be fine too, so I suppose they just added a little bit of software to control it.

A good and fair point. I'd fallen into the trap of being too US centric on HN.

> Were it not for certain Supreme Court decisions, handgun ownership would be outright illegal in the District of Columbia and likely in several other states.

Sure, were it not for the Supreme Court. But as there remains plenty of ways to legally obtain guns in the US, I'm still going to doubt that you've resorted to gun smuggling for "self defense"
It all gets blurred if you're a US citizen. We don't get our passports stamped at all. Quite often they aren't even checked on the way out. CBP has combined task of border patrol and customs enforcement. As someone who's interacted with CBP many a time I get the impression the same officer often takes on both tasks.
i had a hunch this was the case on cleaning, I think around my area Auckland, New Zealand not able to clean it yourself is the difference... does this mean the maintenance company are rent seeking the margin, and if so why aren't panel makers do cleaning as well? or is cleaning such a un-scalable operation that it's best left to lowest bidders?
Y2k wasn't a hoax but it was exploited and hyped.

There was definitely the possibility of really bad impacts on critical infrastructure. If we had all behaved like Italy then I think it could have been quite bad.

The majority of y2k work I saw on the ground was companies using it as an excuse to upgrade all their kit. I did some assessments and was asked more than once to emphasise the risk a bit more.
That's the really frustrating part about this - I understand they want to keep their walled ecosystem/garden/whatever for whatever reasons they want.

I just wish I could customize discord's GUI so:

-The GUI have so less empty space

-Have a "compact" version where it just shows the users in the channel and who's speaking, and compact view of a chat channel.

The default window is just an absolute PAIN, it doesn't go smaller than a certain size and it just has so much irrelevant information not pertinent to the voice/video call I'm in or who I'm chatting with.

Maybe I'm the boomer longing for individual/group chats a la MSN messenger 20 years ago. :O
I have. Signed up at MyFitnessPal with a unique handcrafted address (alias), ended up getting spam a few months later (and still do, several years later).

Confronted them about it and got accused of being sloppy and hacked... I am certainly not the smartest person alive, but I'm not a complete clown.
From having experience in email marketing, I highly doubt companies are editing email addresses before send. But you are right though, I have had signups that denied the "+" via JS.
The reverse may also be true: that the "preparedness" truly was unnecessary. No one will ever know.
Apple has always tried to blame customers whenever they can.

I remember when my MacBook pro 2015 started glitching and Apple voided the warranty by saying there was liquid spillage/fluid damage.

So apparently macbooks have these small stickers inside them which change color upon contact with liquids to help detect liquid damage but the issue with those stickers are that they also change color if you live in a humid area.

They made me pay for that repair even though the customer support guy at the store agreed that the color could change because of humidity but it was company policy to charge for those repairs.
Washington has them, it was one of the first things I noticed when I got the motorcycle out for a coastal ride when I first moved here 20-some years ago. Couldn't tell you exactly where, but they're there and within an easy Saturday ride from Redmond. (Westport or Grayland, maybe?)

Depends on how you define "primarily". Elderly and immunocompromised have always been at a much higher risk, but there were still thousands of young, healthy people who died in the pre-vaccine days.

It hurts only the first couple of times, afterwards you starting enjoy a good laugh and other people happy.
Karma sues DeLorean, alleges intellectual property theft
How does signal allow you to learn someone's phone number from message history? As far as I understand the only thing one can learn by inspecting signal's protocol is that:

1. generally, a certain phone number uses signal

(1) happens once, upon registration of your phone number. You don't see history of which phone numbers are communicating, do you?

In other words, you don't need Signal to buy someone's location history. You just need their phone number and Signal doesn't particularly provide that to you.

Per my understanding, Signal provides subpoena/nation-state resistant level security and is in fact used by many people with high security needs.
Your medical provider provides plenty of information to the state at their behest as it is. Chances are that started with your birth when your birth certificate was made official. Sensitive medical information is not being used to solve crimes here, they aren't looking for people with certain conditions etc. They are asking if a sample matches another sample in a database and to what proportion they are in agreement. That's it.

Yes, you don't need to be a jerk to do that. Linus Torvalds used to be a jerk (perhaps still is, but I think much less so these days). Do you have a non-jerk with Torvalds' vision?
As an aside, I'm always impressed by Discord's engineering articles. They are incredibly pragmatic - typically using commonly available OSS to solve big problems. If this was another unicorn company they would have instead written a custom disk controller in Rust, called it a Greek name, and have done several major conference talks on their unique innovation.
I definitely get spam at special addresses. Minted (data breach) is one, and another company sold my info for similar interests.

I am constantly tickled by some new advances in almost each iOS release. When the base UI and interaction works well enough, I don't want major changes for the sake of change.

Some features I really like that aren't glitzy but are game-changing for me:

* The ability to auto-detect and translate webpages in Safari (or SFSafariViewController)

* Advances in the lock screen and control center

* FaceID and no-password FIDO2 sign-in

I'm sure there are similar things for Android (which I haven't touched since my Nexus5). I think the best approach is not to change what works.
Ah, but how would I turn off the kid safety lock if it doesn't involve tapping Imperial March on two separate buttons in canon?

After my kid randomly pressed a bunch of buttons on our stove the alarm kept randomly turning on, sometimes in the middle of the night and I could not for the life of me figure out how to turn it off. But one day it stopped.
A house bought in Turkey will always pay the rent-equivalent dividend (in whatever currency you denominate it)

A business bought in Turkey will pay the net-profit margin of the said business (in whatever currency you denominate it).

Both are inflation protected.

If you want economic risk protection because of inflation/hyper-inflation in your local currency, buy GOOG, AAPL or a broad basket of International Stock.

In a stable environment, using currency as store of value for anything more than 3 months is stupid

In an inflationary environment, using currency as store of value for anything more than a week is stupid.

Gold didn't act as store of value. Bitcoin didn't act as a store of value. Both are what it is --- speculative assets (not store of value).

If you really really really want a currency that acts as a store of value, of course there is the King Dollar, the greatest currency in the history of currencies.

What are US insurance costs. I'm talking 'oops we burned your house down insurance', 'oops we fell off a ladder insurance', and 'oh, I want to go get a checkup insurance'. These things are frighteningly expensive in the US.

Also in the US, how many laborers can they get to install these things. We've been running at 3-4% unemployment for some time now. When people can go get a job in an office they tend to do that long before doing physical labor these days, so a lot of premium is going towards that labor cost.
Yeah, this is what I use, and I've not been banned or anything.

I have been locked out of my account, though. There was a week during which I got locked out, and had to re-authenticate with 2FA to get into my account, once a day. However, they eventually stopped doing that after enough support tickets rolled in, and Ripcord has been rippin' along ever since.

Sometimes it's only partly supported, in the sense that the website will just break if your email has a `+`. I'm pretty sure I encountered that one with both Disney and Royal Caribbean reservation workflows just flat out breaking.
Telegram only provides e2e encryption for one-to-one conversations and only if you specifically create a "secret chat" largely because of usability and discoverability reasons with regard to their major point of focus. Its probably better discussed in comparison to other services like IRC, Matrix, Discord, or Slack that concentrate on feature rich group chat implementation with easy discoverability, organization, and mobility for which encryption either does not exist or is an opt-in or bolt-on feature.

Services like Signal, Whatsapp, Keybase, or iMessage that provide e2e encryption for all chats, group or otherwise, (albeit with differing levels of implementation security) have chosen to do so at the expense of things like mobility of chat history across devices and the ability to easily discover and join new group chats and instead focus on a less organized, more ad-hoc form of messaging that's a rather different use case than Telegram's.

> It took Linux desktop some 20 years to reach the point where you could just use it i.e., no tinkering needed, everything works by default, you install the software you need and that's it.

Only took about 5 years for me. And that's probably only because I didn't know about it until '96.
I just switched from a Pixel 3 to a Pixel 6 and I don't like it. I am just an average user, I don't use many apps, and the UI in the newer versions of Android is just atrocious. Everything is now "gestures" that don't really work that well, especially when you hold the device in one hand. I had to specially enable the old-school 3-button nav at the bottom of the screen (luckily that still exists) to be able to have some form of non-frustrating interaction with the device. I don't want to be super negative, just ranting I guess. Thanks for listening...

Quality Fade: China's Great Business Challenge
Podcast Episode with Open Source Data Labeling Company Heartex
Michael Malyuk is Cofounder & CEO of Heartex, the open source data labeling platform for building models at scale with flexibility.

The company's open source project, Label Studio, has 10K stars and a community of almost 6K users.

Heartex has raised $25M from investors including Redpoint and Unusual Ventures.

In this episode, we discuss flexibility as a differentiator, being customer obsessed in the short-term and vision obsessed in the long-term, the importance of strong documentation, and top challenges that open source founders face.
I've been running DD for a few months now... I tend to just edit the python script or use e.g. entmike's fork which can read config files to make changes to the 50+ parameters (basically everything is better than having to use Jupyter Notebooks IMO), granted if you don't have a GPU with 6+ GB of VRAM, you can often get a decent enough GPU for free from Google Colab. For running locally, I can also highly recommend Visions of Chaos, which includes multiple versions/forks of Disco Diffusion, as well as a ton of other latent diffusion scripts, not to mention many many many other generation features such as fractals and even music. They also recently added the ability to train your own diffusion models which I've been doing the last few days using thousands of my own photographs. It also has a pretty nice GUI and the dev is extremely responsive on Discord. Also after you do the setup for VoC it handles running all the python venv setup stuff otherwise necessary with local DD installs. In any case, check out DD Discord and/or VoC discord for lots of info, tips, help, examples, and support.

> As can be seen from the threads, the typical response to being told an app broke is to blame the app developers, rather than fix the problem.

This is false. Actual problems get fixed, and very quickly at that.

Normally the issues are from proprietary applications that were buggy to begin with, and never bothered to read the documentation. I'd say to a paying customer that if a behaviour is documented, it's their problem.
And this is not likely to change as long as Iowa gets pandered to in every presidential election cycle.
You can't know what you are talking about?

Your experience supporting Windows users isn't all encompassing, you defined no criteria whatsoever for "better out of the box", you didn't define any of the applications... the list goes on.

Take ease of install. I assure you in 2006 Linux was not as easy to install as it is today when it comes to things like having working power management. Even something as basic as having a computer successfully go to sleep and come back with working wifi was often a challenge.

Or take gaming. Today Wine/Proton have come leaps and bounds and Linux still ends up excluded from some of the largest gaming titles out there.

Or making a simple word document that renders the same way on Window user's PCs as it does on yours. I was one of those people trying to force OpenOffice/LibreOffice and there was nothing more fun than chasing down weird issues when a Windows user using one of the most popular word editors on earth couldn't properly render your document...

The reality is Windows won on desktop, and a very small minority of people still want to dump on Windows. For all its warts, it's clearly made the tradeoffs that benefit the largest number of desktop users.
> Ubiquiti is the least smelly networking solution in a room full of really smelly options.

Agreed entirely. Unfortunately this is a market that's not well served because there's a lot more money to be made just shoveling consumer garbage out or putting small businesses over the barrel with subscriptions rather than offering a proper prosumer product.
How about you? Oh, wait, you already said you weren't. You are entertaining tho! Please keep 'em coming! I love a good roast!
> The second version, using LSB, was worse, as they specify ancient libraries and things like OpenGL aren't handled properly.

That was a shame. There was a lot of hope for LSB, but in the end the execution flopped. I don't know if it would have been possible to make it succeed.
Can you site a source documenting this poor perfection of DNA matching? I dug into this after reading your comment and I found the opposite was true, that a false positive as an odds on the rate of 1 in 1 billion. When you couple it with the fact you also need more than just DNA evidence to convict (which was done with the golden state killer, DNA was not the only source of evidence), the odds grow even smaller of 1) you having no alibi or potentially being at the place of the crime at the time and more evidence, and 2) you being that 1 in 1 billion match to the real killer.
