Oh man. We just recently had our first and this is so frustrating. So much parenting advice is old wives tales and just so stories. I found people like Emily Oster really helpful for this, and the APA guidelines are generally pretty helpful. But there are so many things where the available research is just bad.

Ours sleeps quite a bit more than the average and at first it really concerned us until we talked to our pediatrician and they were like no that falls within the normal range. As an analyst I found it really frustrating that the distributions don't get published.
There is a lot more to earnings than market expectations, mostly guidance. And it was fairly bad.

Also this is being reacted too negatively, they are paying a HUGE price for a company that only has a AAR of 400 million a year.
Would you rather hire obvious liars or good liars? Everyone lies occasionally, or omits information. To believe otherwise is naive.
I think the point is you are breaking the law. Most sensible people wouldn't care. Its if you get an over zealous customs official, tax hound or local police. If you keep you nose clean you're probably OK but if you get in a fight or piss of the mayor you might get extra tax fines or jail time.
Maybe a* priority, but THE priority of a democratic system is to provide for the expression of it's electorates political will. In a representative model this is via elections the end in the formation of a government that enacts that will. "Fairness" has nothing to do with FPTP and winner-take-all unless "take" is outsized to the constituency it represents.

While I agree that FPTP is much simpler in concept, it is massively less representative in the context of the US system. An informed electorate is an engage electorate, and it's political processes should be concerned with lifting up it's lowest common denominator, not dragging down it's highest.
I can respect a cockroach, though I don't welcome their company. You could say the same about wasps, and I get along fine with them too. Granted, like cats, wasps don't play on easy mode for humans. Nor should they; it's good for us to be reminded every now and again that we don't actually own this planet, no matter how much we like to think we do.

But really, we could say the same about almost any other animal on Earth, because almost no animal on Earth has been as extensively modified to suit human preferences and purposes as has C. familiaris. Absent the most extreme provocation, and sometimes even in its presence, they like us no matter what we do. Why not? We've spent several thousand years seeing to it that should be so.

So I'm not really sure what you're expecting you're going to prove with this whole line of discussion beyond that you like dogs and have some very strange notions about cats, neither of which points I think by now requires any further elaboration.
True. I mixed the two together, thanks for the clarification.

@lrvick My challenge with trying to leave my dayjob to do indie consulting has been finding my first, steady clients...at least enough to swap out for my dayjob. I have tried it the last few years as a side hustle, and while my tech and biz/ops skills are pretty good...my sales skills are not. Would you be willing to share how you got your clients, at least to the point of being able to live off of only your consulting work? (My email address is in my profile, if you wish to share less publicly.)
They lowered their forecast.

Also just a horrible and desperate play.

thats exactly the problem with quotas and biased hiring. If it exists people will assume any given person was actually less qualified and got in because of the quota.

Peltola won by beating palin in a head to head after begich was eliminated. In a traditional fptp election palin would have beat begich in a primary before losing to peltola, literally the exact same result as rcv except split into two stages instead of an instant runoff.

Palin lost because she’s a national laughing stock and a terrible candidate. Not because of RCV. Instead of acknowledging that you are resorting to inventing nonsensical conspiracy theories that can be disproven by performing the “simple addition” you keep talking about.
Field type and inputmode are different things. You can have text field, but with numeric keyboard.

Which you would know if you read the article.
You're assuming that being anti-racist just means checking to make sure you're not illegally discriminating.

My guess is someone sues and we'll all find out what exactly constitutes an anti-racist lens.
Lots of places where that infeasible.
The mistake is that the cars should use the subways/underpasses since they are inherently antisocial already. The antisocial types can then all hang out together.
You've clearly misunderstood, probably the common term 'dry run'.

The test would be of the electronics _only_; not the explosives or any other single use component. Single use items are usually validated by randomly sampling from within the batch / production run.

I dont see a problem here. The company will use the layoffs to reach their diversity targets and hopefully nobody will be oppressed or be racist anymore
Thanks but I'm already using both and this fails to reject or accept cookies prompts most of the time.
It's not passive giving up - many people, including me, consider the social change you want to drive as harmful in aggregate, and would fight against it; and I'm asserting that at the moment we are in the majority.

I understand the idealistic benefits of freedom of payments, however, the KYC/AML restrictions are there for valid reasons that simply have much more magnitude of importance (for example, the scale of corruption and its social harm is so big that even a slight decrease in that due to KYC/AML enforcement far outweighs all the current social costs of KYC/AML) and removing them would mean that in aggregate the bad guys have won. I'm not saying that you're a bad guy, but you are an "ally of convenience" to them as achieving your position would let the bad guys win and I would consider it immoral to allow that.

We definitely should strive for better, more accurate AML/KYC implementations that have less impact on legitimate trade. But arguing for removing AML/KYC just because of that is effectively throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
Do they have some guarentee not to ban you? Relying on reputation alone will lead to exactly the same situation

Seriously look at other payment processors.

You are overthinking this - if you have to use game theory and uncertainty to plan your relationship with a vendor (instead of picking up a phone or sending an e-mail to ask or solve your issues), you need to find a new vendor.
Unfortunately Obsidian is not FOSS. It does have an open hackable plugins API though. There are lots of open source community plugins.

It's not the size of the package. DFlex is actually small compared to other libraries. But I need to reconsider the size of the demo container before updating the version because when you resize there's a possibility to add a scroll to the container. Adding/removing scroll while dragging is not shipped yet.
All the roundabouts near me certainly have to already be known to use them. You can tell how many people are just passing through every time you use them as they hurriedly weave in and out of lanes
One possible issue is that flouride has antibacterial properties and changes the microbiology of the mouth. This has some obvious good effects (fewer cavities) but might have other unknown side effects.

That sounds like it would be a better job for a linter than for a compiler.

Yes the US priorities on rail (freight) means Acela is… not very good. IIRC the current train set has a maximum speed of 240km/h, and because so little of the way is dedicated the average speed end to end is around 110 I think. Kph. On the fastest section between NYC and DC it’s 130, or 80 mph. That’s a car’s speed.

Boston to DC is 735km which Acela covers in 6h45 minutes.

By comparison Paris to Marseilles is 862km which the TGV covers in 3h.

In fact, the “Mistral” which preceded the TGV and ran from 1950 to 1981 covered the distance in 6h40. That’s how bad Acela service is: it compares disfavorably to best-of-class trains from the 60s.
I don't know what that statement has to do with my comment or the comment I replied to.
Or not even being able to log errors and see what the error message says. You don't need to do ahead-of-time sanitization to realize that "Invalid literal for type 'bigint': "120380123#"" means that you should fix your DB type.
Approval still disincentivizes third parties. If you're the tie breaking vote(which is the only time your vote actually matters) your incentive is to vote only for the candidate you most support.
California made a (tiny) push into roundabouts a couple of decades ago, but for some inexplicable reason usually pair them with stop signs. What's the point?
If a public company can't hire its way to a good ESG score, it can surely fire its way. Next stop is favorable financial terms from Blackrock et al.
Show HN: Mobile ranked-choice voting (with CRDTs)
This is just a casual little tool that we made so your friends, family, and business partners can quickly arrive at consensus decisions.

We are really satisfied with the performance of our CRDT over WebRTC architecture, although it hasn't been significantly load-tested.
I'd suggest reaching out to Stripe support in advance, documenting that you are beginning a product launch and expect a change in volume. Just as a heads up to them basically. Also, definitely have a second choice payment processor available and integrated with your invoicing tool as a fallback. Finally, if this is at all feasible for you, be ready to deliver now and collect payment later.
I think writing their own physics engine might be wrong way to go here. I understand that Bullet leaves a lot to be desired, but my instinct is that the complexity from their own engine will leave a lot of edge case bugs that need to be ironed out over time, and that games using their own physics engine will suffer from a lot more quirks in the meantime.
Dishwashers are stupid (maybe) - I would trade mine for a double bowl sink, and I bet it would take less time, water and energy...
Most companies already have similar policies for hiring. Why not firing?
Interesting. Do you have numbers to show that variable block size can be done with "almost zero cost" as you said?
The problem is that they insist of putting the “TikTok” into the existing Instagram app. It is a separate audience, separate type of thing.
I never understood D&I in corporations. How is it diverse when everyone looks different but thinks exactly the same way?
No because they increase demand for housing while supply is fixed, and then have much more money than locals to get whatever housing they want. This is what happened in SF for example as techies invaded and displaced the non-tech middle and lower classes.
I ride the NY<->DC NER and Acela pretty regularly, and I can tell the difference between the two (especially when it's the "nonstop" Acela). NY<->BOS I agree, though -- it's always felt exactly as fast as the NER.
Simple things fail less often, require less maintenance, and are less likely to be hacked. I'm not saying these concerns are the most important, but they deserve consideration.
It works in some places but not others. This shouldn't be surprising; the math works the same everywhere but the perception of fairness is a social and cultural phenomenon.
What's so complex? You rank your candidates. If your first didn't win, your vote goes to the second, and so on. No "degree in stats" required. They even explain very plainly how the rounds went. Begich lost, his votes went to Palin and Peltola, Peltola won.
> Ranked choice voting is like the current tax code, full of exceptions and rules for the elite to manipulate while the common person gets boned.

Really? Which rules and exceptions are you referring to?
The “gap” is a customer choice though. I ran payments myself in 1999 and had to get a merchant account and deal with the bad APIs of the time. People can do this today. Or use Stripe. Not a great choice, but still a choice.
Glad it does. Thanks for the feedback.

It's arguably still a better situation than FPTP.

In other countries, like Australia, where they're used to alternative styles of voting, they have guides on how to vote and who to put in what rank to match what a given party thinks is the best rundown of potentials.

Alaska will get there.
Look into cardinal systems. They have better embedding properties and scalability. Your votes will always be counted (counter e.g. in NY you could only rank 6 candidates and if you didn't rank any of the top 6 your votes go straight to the garbage bin). Better embedding also helps with the favorite betrayer (strong spoiler effect).
> - The government on the other side is the one you really have to worry about. Locals in Mexico City, all over South America, Bali, Thailand, Vietnam and really all over the world are pissed with these "digital nomads" (read: illegal immigrants) who work on tourist visas and upend the local economy while paying no taxes. It's only a matter of time before they all start cracking down.

Thailand explicitly gives out digital nomad visas for this?
Coinbase is the only entity that knows the private keys which could be used to move the funds in this wallet. So if "owns" means actual technical control of the coins, Coinbase owns them.

Now, many people (pretty much all) follow the laws and contractual obligations of the region in which they live. Under the framework of that system, the funds at still belong to the customer that deposited them. Whether that means the customer "owns" them or is simply "owed" them by Coinbase is debatable...probably a pointless debate.
Yes, they recently rebuilt a large roundabout here - it connects two busiest roads in town - it was nerve-wracking to enter on a motorcycle before. Now they rebuilt it with trafic lights and a straight lane underpass for the main road and it's much more pleasant.
What does it mean to layoff through an, "Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens"?

Some woke CEO and HR, have come to the belief that they don't have to know anything about the person, their character, value to the company, or history. They can determine worthiness of the employee by a check box in "Race" or what pronouns the worker uses. I suppose its an easy way to express their own guilt without actually hurting themselves. Plus, it makes them a hero at those parties they go to.

Clearly if you name two factors, you are going to consider those two factors and actually be Racist and have Oppression of your own.

I'm just sick of the assumptions of people. I get the feeling when the lawsuits come, the internal e-mails in discovery will confirm my worst fears about how the CEO operated.
And, barring statewide elections, is vulnerable to gerrymandering.
For many fly.io is not a viable alternative especially those that are already on the AWS train.

I think that AWS already offers Aurora Serverless v2 which pretty much accomplishes what a lot of these me-too-serverless services that won't integrate as well as something that is offered out of AWS.

Even if you were insistent on cloud-agnostic mandate (which is really not logical since there is at best 3 public clouds to choose from that are also vulnerable to targeted cyberattacks and faultlines), it would be hard to convince a large organization to switch to using Sqlite on Fly.io
What a ridiculously opaque landing page. Does that stuff work?
The bus is a much better travel option anyway. Trying to make travel plans with SNCF is a nightmare with their constant strikes.
For many services, I think the right model would be analogous to how landlord-tenant relationships are regulated -- with significant constraints on how and when services can be terminated once they've started.

This should be the case even if the tenant isn't paying cash for services.
The problem with IRV is that it asks for a full list of preferences but doesn’t actually respect the voters full preference, and specifically it violates monotonicity.

This short video gives an example that’s easy to understand:

https://youtu.be/Xekj6gycFpU?list=PLz0n_SjOttTcmP-7y4beuYv49...
I don't agree about the thread topic. IRV is general should be fair enough to discuss here.

Also, by the same 'logic', you could say the thread is only about Alaska politics and ask everyone not from there to shut up.

The shape is quite similar to Shinkansen, which have it to limit compression waves when entering tunnels at high speeds.
It might help them understand that their votes aren't actually counted multiple times - every #1 vote for a fringe candidate is, essentially just thrown out.
I said I'd try getting my Pixel 4a running again to do a comparison, but I'm feeling lazy and found this video comparing the 5a and the iPhone 13.

Put two and two together, if they are saying the risk benefit from the shots is negative for children who aren’t at risk from the virus, then don’t you think the same would apply to adults who aren’t at risk from the virus?

The extent to which people seem to have given up independent thinking around this issue seems troubling.

Read between the lines because unfortunately it is highly unlikely to see politicians and public health authorities say this so bluntly when they were the ones just recently pushing these, on net deleterious shots. A sensitive issue and political minefield to say the least.

Why should people get the original shot if they haven’t already? It clearly doesn’t work, it clearly has potential for very negative side effects, and even if it did work it is designed for the original strain, which isn’t around anymore. Makes no sense…

I meant read between the lines for your own well being and that of others to see the writing on the wall of what is going on here, not as a principle for the HN style guide.

>cites population wide adherence

That is just face-saving.

“Re-vaccination” is offered not required.
It has nothing to with previous widespread injections. That had if anything negative overall effect.

More people have died from the virus after the shots than before. The shots were supposed to stop contraction of the virus, let alone dying from it.

I know it’s sucks to think about, cognitive dissonance inducing even, especially if you were gung-ho on the injection bandwagon just a year ago, but let’s face facts.
Seeing how many MongoDB instances were running wide open to the internet despite calls to not do so, your concern is certainly valid.
I learned Algol 68 by studying the Revised Report on Algol 68, which was published in 1977 as an edition of ACM SIGPLAN (Special Interest Group on Programming Languages) Notices. The publication can be downloaded for free from the ACM website, see [1]. The first author is Van Vijngaarden.

Page 6 of the report presents the ideas of the Vw-grammar. Protonotions, Notions, Metanotions, Hypernotions, Paranotions, Symbols, Productions and Production Trees are introduced to explain the grammar! I encourage readers to take a peek at almost any paragraph of the 70 page Algol 68 report and compare it to the The Programming Language Pascal Revised Report by Wirth [2],[3]. It's easy to see why Pascal became quite popular and Algol 68 never did.

Despite the fact that Algol 68 was too difficult to compile efficiently at the time, it introduced a number of features we take for granted today. See Richard Hamlet's Ignorance of Algol 68 Considered Harmful, [4].

On a personal note, I was a young Computer Scientist at the time these reports were published, and I miss how easy it was back then to keep up with the research that was going on at the time. Today it's impossible to be a generalist. So many independent and important branches have sprouted off the trunk of CS that everyone is a novice in major parts of the field.

> Stripe absolutely should not share internal customer information

Not even with that customer?

That's a really dumb take.
Its been a pretty big focus since at least the Reagan era, actually. As the post-WWII boom came to an end, many past presidents viewed home ownership as the primary pathway to being "middle-class" and made it a focus.

Bill Clinton, in particular, made increasing home-ownership a primary objective of his presidency [1].

Unfortunately, many of the Clinton-era policies, however well intentioned, ended up making homes less affordable due to greatly increasing demand for homes (by making it easier for more people to get mortgages), without increasing housing supply.
