Not just dreamers, it’s an identity. Someone else on this topic is calling themselves a “hodler”. Not just an investor. But a “hodler”, a “True Believer” I suppose.

Exactly this. As long as there are no painful personal consequences for fraud, this will keep happening. In this case, $8M is casually written off as cost of doing business. This is utterly insane.

We're really talking about iOS and Android here, if I grok the use-case.
That's a strawman, because it's a directly impactful choice at the time of care.

How does a person's personal vaccination status, ceterus paribus, affect the care you're likely to receive?

Outside of, you know, directly asking them "Should I get vaccinated?" and being told "I wouldn't"?
Betteridge's law of headlines declares the answer to be "no"; lo and behold, the answer is indeed no.
It's not, and anyway lisp is not only a language but a category in which you can put the racket, closure and probably other.

Also for the lisp fans here: I'm working on bank data with python since March 2021. My app was deployed in the last month, and a new requirements appeared a week ago. The only way i found to satisfy this requirement and to keep it scalable (aka the code stay generic, only the configuration file change when it's used by new application) is to basically transform json into a pseudo-lisp without symbols and with a really, really long composition chain.

I have to basically write a small lisp compiler.

I discover music through Spotify.

You could say "Spotify's algorithm", but you need to help it. It is more their links between artists that I use, and the general availability of a lot of artists. (Not as many as on YouTube.)

If I have found a lot of great, new music this week, next week's "Discover Weekly" and the albums recommended in "Home" are better.

Most of the music I find is by looking at the tracks I'm already playing: Maybe I only heard one song from an artist, maybe I only ever listened to their old stuff, or maybe I only ever listened to their new stuff. Maybe it's a remix, and the featured artist is the one I like, so I listen to their top songs.

I've learned that whatever one-hit wonder people have -- the song that everyone plays 10 times more often than their second-most popular song -- is often a good choice if you're assessing a musician. But if you like them, it's also likely that your favorite song isn't everyone else's.

I mostly listen to electronic music without vocals, so I can play a lot of random music while I work, and occasionally something sticks out in a good or a bad way.

Last year I spent 65000 minutes listening to music on Spotify.

I got a new (to me) motorcycle this year for a long trip I was planning and one of the things that surprised me was how much countersteer it needed to navigate tight mountain turns. I could definitely feel it in my arms at the end of each day.

A few thousand kilometers into the trip I changed the front tyre as it had hit the wear bars and was amazed how completely it changed the handling of the bike. Instantly I stopped needing to consciously countersteer to enter turns and needed to shift my weight in the saddle a lot loss too.

My assumption is that the new tyre has a cross-section that's a lot rounder than the old/worn tyres. I would have taken photos to compare them if I had realised that it would make such a difference. It was also a different brand (I didn't have much choice when I changed it) which also would have brought a different profile with it.

I've been involved in punk/hardcore community for decades now and I've got my sources : friends, blogs, forums, last fm follows... For anything else I listen to the radio, especially fip.fr who expose me to Music I wouldn't think I could love. Also, i mainly listen to albums, never playlists, automated or curated ones. I don't believe in recommendation algos and don't feel the need to get into that way of discovering music and leave that passion to a company. I always loved to dig into stores crates or read reviews and I fear the infinite of choice from streaming platforms or being stuck in a bubble. There's like something "unpure" and Betrayal to how I used to love music in Spotify recommandations and the way it pushes always something new. It may sounds puerile or posh but that's just how I feel, i'm very oldschool and conservative regarding this topic.
Today some tradies were putting up scaffolding next door to me while I was working at home. They were playing this amazing reggae tune, followed by a playlist of similarly great stuff I’d never heard before. At lunch I went for a walk, and on my way out I went over to ask who put together the playlist. Turns out it was Youtube Music based off the first reggae track. So I figure if you can find that first entrypoint song, that’s different enough from what you usually listen to, the algorithms can take you on quite a journey.
Gearbox serves more purpose than just getting the power to the wheel, it also improves the efficiency of the motor and\or expands and optimizes the usable speed range of the motor.

Also cars can stop way harder than any regen can, massive amounts of energy will be at play and likely any solution is more complex than just grabbing a rotor, which is a more direct way to heat dump
Simply looking at the net species over a year doesn't really tell the full story of it.

You can lose megafauna like the American Bison or Steller's sea cow. Smaller fauna like the thylacine are also lost. Such species aren't going to re-emerge in the timescale of humanity. What I named off are just 3 species. If 3 species of ants happen to replace them, that's not really making up the difference. The world has plenty of ants in plenty of species already.

Also please don't drag out the "American Bison isn't extinct!" argument. There were less than a thousand at some point in the 19th century, so all the genetic diversity they had is gone. They've been bred with cattle to the point that the remaining herds are basically all hybrids, despite claims to the contrary. They're also functionally extinct in North America, as all herds are dependent on management at this point.
This seems rather vanilla. They’re just smoothing out their revenue to make the curve look a little better. This is a result of the fact that companies can’t have down quarters without massive stock implications.
Good points.

I also wonder:

- does the overhead cost due to the complexity of advertising (tooling, people, ...) weigh up against the benefits?

- isn't tracking and personalization meant to lead to a decrease in quantity and an increase in quality (in the eyes of the advertiser)? And doesn't that mean that the price of an ad placement should be going up instead of down, because the publisher can offer exactly the audience the advertiser wants?

It can't but all go up in flames one day. Or at least, that's my hope.

> over reliance on cars, no public transit, lots of things are just a little bit too far to walk to

The city was designed in the 50's. We need to consider the decisions in that context.

OTOH, even Disney's original EPCOT concept had mass transit baked in, and it was imagined in the US, land of the automobile.
Twist of the wrist is fantastic, as is the video, which can be found on YouTube. Agree with everything you said, and I'm curious: what do you ride? I've been tracking a mostly-stock R6 for the last 5 years, A the last 3 or 4. One thing I thought I'd add is that with motorcycles, the rider is a significant fraction of the total mass, so your position on the bike can greatly affect the center of gravity. You see guys leaning off the bike (towards the apex of a corner), which allows the bike to stand up taller, thus requiring less lean angle/more contact patch, which allows for higher speed and better grip at corner exit.

Oh and another surprising thing: on track I never use the rear brake when braking hard. Why? Hard braking lifts the rear wheel, and when you use the rear brake it becomes incredibly easy to lose rear traction!
Speaking of 256 byte demos, I have to push these out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1joQfp78Yo (tube by 3SC) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdaMbGPEXV8 (A Mind is Born by lft).

> She was going to leave, but decided to wait ten months or so until her stock options vested. She and a big group of other engineers were fired right before the vesting moment.

I'm not an expert in the Silicon Valley ethos, but to me it sounds that both your friend's daughter and the company were playing the same game: trying to extract the most value from the other party without actually having a long term commitment. I suppose she was not going around saying how much she hated the company and that she would have left as soon as it was convenient.

The company had the upper hand, but can she really complain?
I don't like a lot of their business decisions (I know much of this is driven by credit card/payment processors) but this is the most respectable mass layoff I've ever seen from a company, and should be lauded.
https://www.ohmyrockness.com/ is fantastic, I think because it's personally curated by boots on the ground music fans who make a living researching up and coming New York bands. It has a focus on the NYC scene, but features bios and reviews from bands from all over the world.

I like it because I know the recommendations never come from algorithms, but come organically from other music fans. Rock's the overarching thematic focus, but you'll find hip-hop, jazz, and nearly any genre you could think of on there :)
Docker is a red herring. The parent's statement can be modified for Docker like this:

> B̶a̶z̶e̶l̶Docker uses whatever toolchain is laying around on the h̶o̶s̶t̶Internet

More precisely, Docker can use exact, well-specified, cryptographically-tamper-proof environments (images); but the only way to actually specify and build such an environment is via shell scripts (in a "Dockerfile"). In practice, such scripts tend to run some other tool to do the actual specification/building, e.g. `make`, `mvn`, `cargo`, `nix`, etc.

If those tools aren't reproducible, then wrapping them in Docker doesn't make them reproducible (sure we can make a snapshot, but that's basically just a dirty cache). In reality, most Dockerfiles seem to run wildly unreproducible commands, e.g. I've encountered Dockerfiles with stuff like `yum install -y pip && pip install foo`.

If those tools are reproducible, then wrapping them in Docker is unnecessary.

Also note that outputting a container is nothing special; most of those tools can do it (e.g. in a pinch you can have `make` run `tar` and `sha256sum` "manually")

> Suspension and steering design is then far easier, because there is no axle to need to keep straight.

I don't understand what you mean by this. Isn't independent suspension already a thing? Each wheel has independent up/down movement because there is no axle that remains straight (driveshafts are independent from each other in both FWD and RWD).

I looked up the screenshots. The app looks like the most trivial possible UI for basic public key cryptography. Just a basic list of your/other people's keys (pretty much a contact list) and some ways to acquire them.

SSH keys if used in place of GPG would have almost the same UI. It's not the problem of GPG, but of the underlying concepts.

You don't need to be deep into cryptography, just understand some basic concepts from the wikipedia article, or whatnot.

That’s a terrifying scam!
Yes, that's right, that's why I said to insert it in a running system.
COGS is completely company-dependent, there is no universal exact definition so long as it can be verified to be GAAP/IFRS compliant (which is more art than science).
Huh...this is kinda interesting. This notation does produce a nice symmetry on the dial: four "I" numbers, four "V" numbers, and four "X" numbers. Satisfying, indeed. Roman numerals are terrible anyway, so I fully support any effort to butcher them.

Atari collapsed under its own weight because of some pretty profound mismanagement, which led to massive layoffs. (you mentioned in another comment that engineers “left in an avalanche.” The word is “layoff”) There were plenty of extremely capable designers and engineers (and researchers) who were let go in a very short period of time, people who had not gone off to do their own thing. Atari was big.

If anything, other companies making good games for their platform aided them, and they were famously bad at seeing that. Engineers leaving to develop Atari software didn’t move the needle in terms of their collapse. Not giving individual credit on games is a tiny footnote in the book of things Atari management did wrong.

Ask HN: Did you notice an uptick of flame/rage bait in FB “Suggested for you”?
In last few weeks I am seeing a lot of "Suggested for you" content on my Facebook wall that comes from pages I don't follow which can be best described as a flamebait. Those pages can be described as "anti-left" and "anti-woke" content and posts from them appearing on my timeline fall into either of those groups:

- People of color casted for originally white characters.
- Out of context left/progressive politician or activist quotes.
- Photos of people in kink gear from pride parades.
- Photos of trans/non conforming people who have problems passing or drag queens presented as trans people.

Each of those posts are accumulating dozens of thousands of interactions on them, be it reactions or comments.

I'm not following any pages that produce content like this, neither I am visiting websites like this and this doesn't even match my views, so I am puzzled. Is this "bottom of the barrel" attempt by Facebook to increase user engagement by exploiting their outrage at things?

I am the only one? Is it a fluke or a trend by Facebook?

> What do we actually mean by saying "statement S is unprovable"? Do we mean "there is no [edited:] proof for S" (which includes the case that S is provably false), or do we mean "there is no proof for S and there is no proof for its converse"?

By “converse” I think you mean “negation”.

A statement being unprovable means we will never know whether it is this or false.
> Because if you show that the converse of Goldbach's conjecture is not provable, you have actually proven Goldbach's conjecture (since you have shown that there is no counterexample!).

Nope: demonstrating that (the opposite of Goldbach’s conjecture) is unprovable is logically equivalent to demonstrating that (Goldbach’s conjecture) is unprovable. It means we’ll never know either way.

There is no such 'genocide' against white South Africans, who still enjoy the lowest unemployment rate[0] and highest income levels[1] compared to other racial and ethnic groups.

While life for white South Africans is more difficult than it was during Apartheid, for obvious reasons, and they now have to contend with affirmative action in many jobs and preferential procurement in government tenders, as a group they still have an inherent historical advantage compared to other racial and ethnic groups in the country.

There's a reasonable argument to be made as to whether those redress measures remain valid, fair, economically beneficial, or necessary, but what's entirely unreasonable is to claim that white South Africans today receive anything even resembling the abuse, restrictions, limitations, and indignities experienced by non-white South Africans under Apartheid. They're not at all comparable.

You do, yes. But that can be a metal pin the size of your pinky finger. It's a super easy engineering challenge compared to the regular brakes that slow down the car, which, when emergency braking a 2 ton car from 100 mph, needs to briefly absorb nearly 1 megawatt. Thats the power used by 1000 houses, which is a lot to absorb in a lightweight system that needs to still work if part of the system fails.
This is a great point most people from the US and Europe can't understand.

Much like Africa, all of SE Asia went directly to cell service and skipped all landlines because they were so far behind. The same goes for banking in these parts of the world and India.

The people there will skip over the traditional banking system which is massively undeserving the population and adopt a digitally native banking system. The masses will go with the flow and accept the CBDC, but many already understand the implications and limitations.

Part of what parent is describing is pushing configurations down to the agents from a centrally managed admin panel. I think this works well for basic system metrics but not for anything off the beaten path requiring integrations and scripts.

In response to your vector solution:. What I found highly adaptable is having all servers forward to a central vector/fluent-bit agent, have that agent forward to kinesis firehose, then attach a transform lambda to create the final output. You end up with 2 configuration points from which you can control and transform all your logs. Instead of having to push this down to the servers through config management.
