I looked and I didn't find anything.

What I would like to see is a new self-contained Web Document standard (none of the various implementations out there qualify) that mimics the core reason Markdown and other plain-text systems like AsciiDoc or LaTeX exist: To separate the writing from the presentation, but with some basic formatting as needed for most documents.

There are various self-contained document formats out there: ePub and mobi files use HTML inside, as does Microsoft's CHM. And there's a hundred zipped XML file formats out there - docx, odt, etc. But they're either write-only, proprietary or are too complicated for this purpose.

What I would want is a simple .wdoc standard file, which is either a plain-text or zip file containing a very strict subset of HTML and CSS which basically mimics the output of Markdown. (It could be called MarkUp, actually). The subset would be limited to just semantic tags and reasonable formatting, to guarantee editable HTML. Nothing dynamic or crazy. Just pure WYSIWYG.

If it was a W3C standard, there could even be a new HTML tag <doc><\doc> which wraps raw .wdoc markup in a sandbox, guaranteeing that nothing inside those wrapper tags will display anything but the allowed styles and tags. A zipped .wdoc (with images) could be included with a src attribute: <doc src="...">, with an "editable" attribute that defaults to false, but could be flipped to allow editing. Maybe an "allowed" attribute to limit formatting even further.

Like the video and audio tags, basic editor features could be supported natively, but would also allow custom editor skins like CKEditor, TinyMCE, Trix etc. But again, with standard output. This would be great for online forums like HN or reddit. In standalone apps, like Apple's Text Editor or Microsoft's WordPad, the output would be a cross platform rich text document that is readable and writable by any browser or standard .wdoc editor.

The idea is to Keep It Simple Stupid, but also provide basic cross-platform WYSIWYG editing where the simple, clean formatting is always displayed exactly like it looks when editing. I use Typora, which is a great little rich text editor that uses WebKit for the interface, and then exports Markdown, which I then process into a web page. It's insane. Let's cut out the useless middle step.

Browser engines have progressed so far since Markdown was created. It's all a matter of standardization at this point. Keep the spec simple and focused on just creating simple documents. If someone wants to use the output as a full-on web page, then it's just a matter of not using the <doc> wrapper and adding full-strength CSS, JavaScript, etc. The CommonMark spec could even be updated so that .wdoc is the standard output of a processed .md text file.

The web has tilted too far towards the dynamic app end of the spectrum, and lost its roots as a document format. I think something like this would be a great way to get back to that.
They might get lucky with that one. A good number of children are taller than both of their parents. I've seen plenty of such examples irl (outside of my own family).

Not by much, maybe an inch or two (exceptions exist though). I am taller than my taller parent (dad) by an inch. My dad is taller than his dad (the taller parent) by about 3 inches.

Given that such a surgery adds up to 3 inches in height, things could work out just fine. It isn't like this surgery tranforms 5'1 people into 6'1 people.
We've been moving away from Stripe and Stripe-backed (e.g. Shopify) payment gateways pretty much everywhere we can for this same reason. We only have a few integrations left connected to Stripe, specifically one with Tripleseat, which we use for our event management and have not migrated yet. Choosing Stripe has been the most costly decision we've ever made and we're not a small company nor a startup.
They are common carriers.
The elephant in the room is the Visa/Mastercard duopoly.
"Let the fires burn."

Onboarding new customers looks better and gets more funding than maintaining quality for existing customers, so they just don't care.
I'd love to read your PhD thesis and papers! I'm also an AI researcher, currently doing a Master's in something else, but compositionality and representation learning is very interesting to me.
I think diminishing return kicks in around 6'2"... plane seat, clothes fit, cramped cafe / restaurants,

I'm pretty short, but I'd much rather be 6'2" than 6'4".
I am right on the margin at 183cm on a good day. IMO it's something short men should just lie about, in my (limited) experience women are dreadful at estimating height and just want "taller than me".
Tiffany knew it was gibbous because she’d read in the Almanack that gibbous meant what the moon looked like when it was just a bit fatter than half full, and so she made a point of paying attention to it around those times just so that she could say to herself: “Ah, I see the moon’s very gibbous tonight . . .”

It’s possible that this tells you more about Tiffany than she would want you to know.
Long live NewPipe
Anyone know if the various cable companies streaming sites would work on this? (Been a while, sorry.)
As noted earlier, the other team would need an open headcount, whether they are hiring from outside or doing an internal transfer. If Google management waived this requirement (unexpected in a time of belt-tightening), the article didn’t mention it.
There's real research on this. Someone posted this further up the thread:

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-effect-of-male-and-f...
That favours wealth over intelligence, or vice versa. So it's a value judgement - are we better off with more children to wealthy parents or to tall parents?
I have worked in government, then the private sector, now I’m back in government. I would strongly suggest first, The Woody by Peter Lefcourt and then The Dance of Legislation by Eric Redman.
Unconfirmed method of breach: https://twitter.com/hacker_/status/1570582547415068672

- Socially engineer an employee to get on their VPN (could have been prevented with webauthn / hardware 2fa)

- Once on VPN, scan their intranet and find a network share

- Network share has powershell scripts with admin credentials for their PAM vendor, Thycotic

- From there can get full access to all systems
“YOUR LEGS WERE ON A BREAK!” Her potential surgeon explaining the procedure to her.
Indeed. These pseudo-authoritative blogs on Github from people who have no idea what they're talking about could also stop.
> They need to nuke all their "X Verification APIs" and just manually check each and every account.

Wouldn't they then just be another one of the more old school merchant service providers, who still exist for you to use if you're open to paying for being underwritten up front? The point of Stripe et al is to be cheap, quick and easy in comparison (for the happy path, anyway) through more automation, with the drawback of these types of failure modes.
I know folks who still have real pen pals. Like, paper mail.

I would say the practice mostly died out, the same way that chautauquas are no longer a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chautauqua
Shopify has treated me in this exact same way. No customer service.. no response.
Right; every file is just bytes but we get a lot of mileage out of libraries like libpng that parse those bytes into usefully structured info. And I was pondering what more could evolve to parse info from the command line.

I think stdjson is insane yet awesome to ponder.
I kind of like that as an accidental element of the game. It takes real time to click the menu twice to pull up the box and then still type the phrase, etc. Reasonable chance you can find it faster by scrolling and scanning. Gotta choose.
Hey, could you please share more information on "feels great"?

He basically seems tired of angry emails from amatuers who brick their machines. Suzy
qables aren't even available anymore, so to do what I'm talking about, you need to open the chromebook, disconnect the battery, and rewrite the firmware on the SOIC-8 chip from the command line. If you screw this up, you have a brick and need a CH341A SPI flash programmer to restore the firmware backup. You have one of those handy in a drawer somewhere? Then you might be the target audience. Otherwise, maybe you should reconsider doing this.
It's a delicacy in my home town.

With modern engine management, esc, traction control, electronic diffs, clutch (I assume, otherwise stalling in the driveline from beginners) etc I imagine that the "E" bit of the brake is almost mandatory for coordination.

In fact, I am delighted by the mental image of a driver-assist AI wondering "WTF was that?!?" if a driver could pull a cable operated handbrake mid corner...

The Google TV remote has trainable buttons. I can operate the chromecast and but also adjust volume direct to TV. And turn TV on and off.

So, rarely have to use the TV remote. It's used only for live TV (rare) and switching input, also rare.
95% of Tinder swipes by women are passes compared to 47% for men. Women tend to date up. Online dating apps are rigged for men. These apps are search engines optimized to match women with the top 5% of men. These apps are designed for women. Being average or even above average will almost never result in a date. Tinder was designed like a slot machine which will ruin your self-esteem from constant rejection but your hope of a large reward will keep you going for ages. You will have a much higher success rate as an average guy simply with a completely cold approach. That is how bad online dating is for men.

As an example, a slightly above average man who generates 16561 swipes on Tinder will generate 7666 likes and 8675 dislikes. Out of these there will be 290 matches and 7596 no-match. A rate of 2.5 matches per day and an overall 3.7% match rate. Out of 290 matches he will send 87 messages and receive 12. 191 matches will never result in a message. Of the 99 messages 31 will be left on read or never even opened the initial message, resulting in 68 conversations. 40 of these women ghosted him, and our subject gave up on 17 of them. Ultimately this resulted in getting 11 phone numbers. These 11 phone numbers in 4 months led to 3 dates and 8 gave up on texting, declined the dating offer, or our subject simply gave up on them. All 3 dates did not materialize into anything long term. It was a complete waste of time. Considering that online dating is the most common method used to find a date these days, the options are grim for men who are not in the top 5% of attractiveness if they use these online platforms.

The killer feature of Kodi (on most hardware, for example the Raspberry Pi) is that it can switch the output resolution to match the video you are playing. It also bypasses things like ALSA in order to be able to bit-bang audio in supported formats directly to an external receiver. These are basic functions of normal video playback devices like blu-ray players or cable boxes.

A Plasma skin can't do any of this. So while it's probably very suitable for things like games and photo frames on a big screen, I fear that it is disadvantaged from the start for video and audio.
To add to this, if you use an over the top box (eg Apple TV, game consume, laptop), you don’t really need anything more than a display. All the smarts just add lag and add GUI items that can be buggy. My Samsung takes like 20 seconds between power and and display content simply because it tries to load the smart GUI, and times out on network connection (which doesn’t exist).
Now think about whether anything at all would be amiss if "the blockchain" were to be replaced by a good old trusted database.

Mike Judge also thought it was fun to run a Simpsons episode featuring Donald Trump getting elected to the presidency. So… definitely worth thinking through.
Bezos is short, Zuckerberg is short, Gates is short…. Not the most effective rule lol
This works for middle management, in my experience.

C-suite and owners is a much more

Buffet and Gates are both 5’ 10”.

(Musk is 6’ 1.5” which is hilarious as I’d have pegged him as shorter than Gates for some reason)
There is a great piece on this (IMO) surgery from a few years ago from an author at jezebel (Prachi Gupta maybe?) whose brother did this in Italy and ended up dying as a result of this very surgery.

Not worth it for better tinder matches. Also
I very very much doubt that the effect of height on income is causal.
Has anyone done something similar for a "gacha waifu" type game ala Genshin Impact? If they get the random generator making nice looking characters, I can see the ability to trade unique and attractive characters appealing to some. But it has to be backed by a decent game.
Oh. Sorry. I seem to have taken the conversation off in a different direction than I had intended. (Foreshadow: The previous sentence is carefully shaped!) When I said "color" I didn't mean to be indicating qualia, although there is that too. What I meant to be indicating is just that each discourse contribution folds into a semantically sensible whole that one can speak (only metaphorically here) as the color of the conversation. One might say (to oneself, if one had a mind to, or was asked): "Oh, but hold on, I didn't realize that this was an interview. I thought that [our mutual friend] just thought that we would get along well. But now that I see it's really an interview, and you're the CEO, well, that makes this a very different situation, and I'll have to put on my 'interview with the boss' face..." and thus like. Again, I don't mean that you would say this explicitly, nor could you, probably, unless you were pressed to do so, in which case you couldn't really completely explain all the nuances, most likely. Nb. (per foreshadow above), each contribution in this, or any discourse, "colors" (or perhaps rather, kneeds together, if you prefer a cooking metaphor) an ongoing collage of situational understanding which comes together to direct, for better or worse, the ongoing complexities of the discourse. But, and here I want to be perfectly clear: Not in a fully forward-going way, because then you'll simply say: well the blah blah state of the whole blah blah network incorporates all that, like Dall-E, etc. melding together everything and smearing it into something sensible. But that's not how people work! In constructing their next action (e.g., sentence) they foreground some aspects of the composed whole, and background others in a goal-directed manner...at least if they're not too drunk.
4’11” is very short (0th percentile) for a guy. (1st percentile is 156.3 cm/5’1.5”.)
That's a shame, first-class support for the web in any of the major engines would be a killer feature imo.

On which date do you tell your partner about this? Do women do the same for their 'augmentations'?
Being able to walk fast is a sign of good health. Did the study control for that? Do a study where you tell half the people to walk and half the people to walk fast and see if the differing advice made a difference. I bet the effect will be zero or small.
"close enough for government work"
Are there any significant historical cases? The Nvidia and Arm one seems like a big deal (if it succeeds), but the others just seem like random low-hanging fruit. I feel like the ones that matter (ISPs, cell phone carriers gobbling each other up, the Microsoft/Facebook/Adobes of the world, AMD buying ATI...) never really get stopped.
What I’ve heard is that something like 80% of couples the guy is taller. Not necessarily tall, just taller.
India Is Going After Fake, Paid E-Commerce Reviews on Social Media
I don't know man. I'm significantly taller than a few of my friends who tick off every box that's commonly listed as ideal traits in male partners other than height and they struggle to get a single date while I have random women hit me up while I'm just out shopping.

There's a large amount of incredibly shallow men based on all the guys I've become friends or acquaintances with over the years, and I can only assume that women are just as capable of being shallow.
Being a nerd in tech is absolutely not a dealbreaker if you are a woman.
“At every single workplace I’ve been in, there've been several situations where people commented on my height to discredit me entirely as a person.” One disagreement at work led to a colleague snapping at him and rebutting, “Don’t be so sure of yourself, short man!"

I hope this is a joke. I'm a thin short man. I bet many women can beat me up if they wanted to. Yet, no one in my long working career remarked about my height.
"it's not so different from American celebs - Kardashians and that"

It is completely different. It is far more sycophantic and servile.
That's tough. How did she cope? Mixed height platform shoes? Or did she buy a house on a mountain side?
Meta spins off PyTorch Foundation to make AI framework vendor-neutral
I was making the underlying assumption that wealth has some correlation with intelligence (for someone who made money in tech at least)

Tech bros need money to get height gainz -> must pass tech interviews/bring a product to market -> intelligence

But also there is probably a correlation between height and wealth as well. Either way I don't think that it's anyone's place to determine who should reproduce.
This comes up a lot… The reason is that no OSS projects want a product manager. They want contributors.

Most projects, if you say “I think the gui should look like X” they’ll reply with “show me the pull request then”. No one wants a manager when they’re already volunteering, and not enough people who have the skills to make things look aesthetic exist and contribute.

People screech in terror and hide their wallets anytime the word "reparations" is said. I don't think colonial empires are going to be sending a considerable amount of plundered money back any time soon.
I was not implying qualia were magic, insofar as there can be monistic descriptions of qualia. My criticism was that the example appeared to be steering the conversation into a crash course with dualism by invoking qualia-like explanations of compositionality when it was unnecessary to do so.

I believe the "hard problem" is far easier than the dualists' interface problem. It can be explained by viewing consciousness not as the driving force behind our thoughts/feelings, but rather an after-the-fact log the brain keeps for itself. Qualia are therefore distinct from the immediate physics of signals reaching the brain; they are instead the brain's own shorthand description of the impact those signals had on the brain.

Compositionality isn't a categorical stumbling block because the machines are actually getting incrementally better at it. The Winoground paper the article references explicitly says that score on their compositionality benchmark does in fact scale with training dataset size, suggesting that while it is more difficult for AI to discover compositionality during training, there is no reason to think it is impossible
This is what my team always did for QA when I worked in a space using payment processors.

No need to roll back the transactions directly and risk flagging anything.

Plus, it's often useful having a real, live, paid and in good standing account and/or purchase in the system for further testing steps! (More true in the subscription space than the one-time purchase space... but even there... it's probably worth testing your refund flow end to end periodically eventually, once you have a healthy set of traffic under your belt to avoid standing out.)
Netflix charges. For a long time they said no to ads. For a long time they said they won’t do ads. Then the profits started tipping down. Wall Street frowned.

Now ads are coming to Netflix, which you will still pay for.

What do you think Google will do, when they do freely abandon services, jack up GCP prices, and set 10 ads on the unpaid tier?
If I'm trying to cancel I don't care about free months or free storage space or discount on their new product. those are random things I don't care about.
Those diamonds were mined in Kollur in modern day south India. It should go back to them.

And yes, before you harp on it, the land we call America should go back to the Native Americans, the aboriginals of Australia and New Zealand should also get their lands back. Or whoever else has been the subject of conquest.

Ultimately, slavery, caste, and colonization are institutions of brutality.

Reparations are owed.

Britain can never repay the damage colonization caused to India. But it can return the diamond as an admission of guilt. And sure, it’s owed to a bunch of countries. I’m pretty sure India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka can figure out a shared ownership model for the diamond. They seem to get along fine sharing cricket trophies when there’s a draw.
Or we could simply not waste resources and time with such absurdities.

Science is about creating explanations. The laws of nature is not probabilistic. Probabilities are used when we have a limited set like a deck of cards. But it's not used to create scientific explanations.
The engineering challenges are hard, probably not impossible. There is already serious research in to this by Astroscale and others. What is impossible though, is to launch a constellation of things to deorbit other things without a ton of money. Someone has to be willing to provide that money.
Software piracy. Why make something good when people will just torrent it? Far better to become a SaaS and accept all of the drawbacks and limitations that come with it.
That makes it sound like a small miracle that 80% of the people there can afford to live there at all.
I suspect this pay disparity is less significant in software, post-covid, where a lot of people work remotely now anyway.

One of the tack-on benefits of remote work is that at least it gets rid of height discrimination for fully-remote positions

Fusion is the sun. In the future we will be able to do what the sub does which is to create the raw materials we all do.

Keep in mind fusion is not just another way to power our lightbulbs, it's a different type of energy among others with the ability to get us to 10% of the speed of light.

Electrolyses uses mostly fossil fuel and will continue to do so. It's a simple question of physics.
