In the OP -

> [4.81% interest on your money after 6 months from the date of purchase]

This is a single concept. The quantity of money earned (4.81%) and the time period over which it is earned (6 months from the date of purchase) are both specified.

In your message -

> it earns an annual rate of 5%, for 6 months

You change the rate to annual here..

> You're earning 5%,

Here you leave the time period over which the 5% is earned implicit (1 year)

> If you were earning 2.5%, for 6 months, you'd only get $125.

And once again here you drop the "per year"

Conventionally, finance uses rates of return on an annual basis -- but it's not unreasonable to use another basis so long as that's specified clearly (as in the OP). This helps because the OP is trying to help people understand the dollar-magnitude of returns they are locking in (X% per year, but for half the time -- aka half the sticker price return) and what is variable in the future.

It seems that the golden age of apps is comming to an end. One of my many apps gets banned daily by Google due to some silly rule interpretation, which among them include what seems to be punishment for using an ad provider different from AdWords or whatever they call it now.
And absolutely nothing came of it in the US. Microsoft was not forced to unbundle IE, no browser choice, nothing.

Now all platforms are bundled with browsers and plenty of other software.
Just in case you posted this as a counterpoint to what I'm saying...

This blog effectively agrees with my position: Undefined Behavior is just "Stuff the compiler is allowed to assume never happens". And C++'s set of Undefined Behaviour is a fundamental part of what makes it valuable.

The issue I have is not with them, but rather with the fact that it's too easy to become competent, if not talented, way past the point where one should take them into account without having to even know of their existence.
Never had any of these issues but.

* The volume is STILL too low after all these years.

* You can't be in more than one meeting at the same time. Even working with Teams is difficult while being in a meeting even though this has been improved. If you stay within same account that is, otherwise, you still lose.

* You are much more limited as logged-in than as guest meaning half of the attendees are guests even if they have accounts.

* Multiple Teams accounts simple does not work.

* Creating a guest account in a third-party (Teams) tenant is among the biggest mistake one can do. MS seems randomly force you to login to any or all the associated tenants for your account. You downloaded that document from a customer once and VS like, now before you deploy something to your private tenant in Azure, let me force you to login to that customer that you once got a doc from.

Considering that the energy companies have been funding counter-research against climate change for most of my life, I think you're looking in the wrong direction.
I think just making so that for the next year a set % of revenues that are associated with the product in question get fined would be fine.
The rest of this silly argument aside: the USAF flies millions of tons of humanitarian aid as a PR move for itself (helping justifying the existence of a standing "professional" military, a relatively new thing for the US) and to further the foreign policy interests of the United States.

It's not altruistic, it's strategic to the core.
The market they're interested in is the EU. So "all over the world except China" includes the EU. Defining the market as the region the governing authority has power over is nothing new: The FTC rules on the US market, the European Commission rules on the EU market.

Love these lol, really gave me a good laugh when I saw them in the past
I work on an open source multiplayer game that's limited by single thread CPU speed so I can give a perspective of what would improve for us at least.

The fastest thing to change is we'd increase player limits per server, per player CPU costs are significant and we could bring the player limits to maybe 500 before network speeds start being a consideration. Certain ai improvements that are currently not viable like goal oriented ai design and pathfinding improvements could be added that would make new kinds of gameplay possible. Hell with even just 10x I would be very tempted to try unifying our atmospheric and chemistry simulations so they use the same data structures, thus allowing chemical reactions between gases that aren't basically masses of nonstandard performance hacks on the back end.

In short though, even minor performance improvements would vastly change what we could accomplish. 1000x is extreme and you would see very different games that could make use of techniques that today are mostly relegated to games built around them as a gimmick that they make sacrifices for.
Is that a guarantee or is it possible they would follow his orders?

Also it's 6 weeks and the executive doesn't control the justic department how would it be overruled?
>But that's not Google's fault. They can't make Samsung have brilliant ideas about how to rearchitect the OS core.

Of course not. But that's the point I'm trying to make. The illusion of choice. Out of all eleventy billion versions of Android you can get, who has actually produced something that is truly different, as opposed to just another skin on top of what everyone else has, or a slightly different layout of the same functionality everyone else has?

Here's one example: text editing on mobile. I'm sure I'm not the only person who finds this excruciating. Especially things like selecting text / copy & pasting etc. And, it's 2022 and we still have no 'undo' function. But, every single variant of Android [and iOS] uses the same horribly flawed text editing functionality. Do any of the eleventy-billion 'alternative' versions of Android address any of this? Of course not. It's so much easier to throw a new skin on top of the same old crap than to actually innovate and make real changes.
not enough money to be interesting
There's plenty of concrete information - like the fact that this is an artificial conflict manufactured by Russia, and it's perfectly normal to use artillery to fight enemy combatants - but you're ignoring it, because it doesn't fit your story which (I'm sure this is a pure coincidence) matches Russian propaganda. Same with alleged escalation, whereas the numbers show the exact opposite: the total number of people killed was less than those murdered by Russian nazis in Bucha alone.
Funny, if you go watch the youtube videos he predicates his talk on 'Putien never lied'. I'm just going off of his public speeches on youtube, but maybe that contradict his other works.
EU laws can often be written in such a way and are a bit looser in their language in ways when compared to how it may be written in the US. EU courts are more experienced with dealing with interpretations of "reasonableness" for a given law when compared to the US, so it's not really a fair comparison.
So the judges said that the government ordering private companies to censor, and threatening them with consequences if they don't comply is not a 1st amendment violation? Sounds like we need some new judges.
How is this on HN frontpage?
It’s funny. They seem to be two kinds of contractors out there. Type one will push as hard as possible for you to design things in a way that makes it easier for them. To the point where there are all sorts of design compromises like a beam in the middle of your kitchen. The second type is the one who wants to deliver exactly the vision of the client, to the point where they are adding a huge amount of complexity to perfectly meet unreasonable demands.
Agreed – the plan is to keep this running as long as possible, and the freemium AGPL model is a great way to get there in a sustainable pace! :)
It just doesn't seem worth the hassle given the unique account with weird sign-up process, low maximum investment, and lock up period.

Like it's a theoretically optimal way to invest $10k that won't be needed in the short term, but it's also just a few hundred dollars more than I get from a money market account which has far fewer restrictions. Plus another account to deal with.

If I could add it to a portfolio in an existing investment account, I'd do it.
Uggh, its always annoying trying to compare apples to apples.

Thanks for annualizing (or in this case, 6Month-izing) the rates for an actual apples-to-apples comparison.
It's not the first, Geforce Now has been around for a while.
Exactly? That's probably the wrong word. There are many 'fixes' there's no 'here's the exact fix to the situation.'

The author of the article is talking about 'integration' and such. I wonder how many people on HN, who are probably natural citizens, actually integrate with their society? I would guess that I'm not by many standards.

Now lets say we want to go to the extent of getting some antisocial hackers integrated into society and contributing toward progress. What does that mean? It's not just speaking the language.

Something the author clearly doesn't know is that Turkey took in far greater numbers than they ever did. Turkey also has far more experience with immigration. Turkey also has tremendously higher immigrant crime than USA and Sweden. Yet where's the bombing exactly?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_crime#/media/F...

So what gives? What is integration?

Well maslows heirarchy of needs is explanatory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs#...

Your most basic needs like food and water require you to have a job.

So do these immigrants have jobs? No they dont. The article says unemployment is high.

Is this because they are lazy? No certainly not. Now they go on welfare in order to live, which the author touts but that's not good. That's very bad. They need a job asap. This is the key spot that must be worked on and welfare is the opposite of what you want to do.

I bet you can see where this goes. Libertarianism and smaller government. Do ANYTHING to get them employed and the government can't be involved for or against. Deregulate whatever you have to. Make these problematic suburbs into free trade zones if you need to.
You seem to be suggesting that the mere existence of externalities somehow negates the fact that value was added, which is silly.

The existence of externalities doesn't negate the adding of value. Would we be better off without oil companies? Obviously not (just ask a European!) Hence it's impossible to say that they're not adding value, or that the people who create them aren't adding value.
TV shows won't need to do casting for extras any more, they'll just have the main cast and then one person who plays all the other characters.
Ask HN: What are the use cases of WASM outside the browser?
What are the non obvious use cases of Wasm? Other than facilitate distribution and improve security, what do you think are the best potencial applications of wasm?
Microsoft chose to have desktop browser integration as the manufacturer of Windows. That didn't protect them from fines.
Read your link. Solidified my view that people pushing this are relying on deliberately-uncharitable or outright bad readings to support their position. Is this the best there is?
people who know what shooting 4k video means or what RAW format is is probably way less than 10% of all users of smartphones.

and I am probably overestimating by order of magnitude.

Most people shoot photos and show them to their friends online. Some of them even share it through sites like Instagram and Facebook or WhatsApp and similar.

And that is where it ends for most normal people.

As long as the cable can charge the phone, it will do for the most buyers.
Oh we are not far away from that. Most devs consider it completely fine to run a docker instance per project.
Because 10% is boring and your limited to 10k/yr.

wow 1k Zzzzzzzzzz
One route you could go is using an old android phone that just makes using it painful. My old phone would crash while opening Snap chat or taking a picture. Definitely made me use it less.

Needless to say, I bought a decent phone and just heavily rely on scheduled "do not disturb". YMMV

Well of course ATSC 3 includes a new proprietary Dolby format, ATSC 1 got AC-3 as a mandatory audio format, too.

I'm not sure if ac-4 is mandatory, but it seems like it is? Kind of a big pain indeed.
A large part of forums was basically refreshing the page to see if anybody responded to the threads you commented in. It was basically slow and more annoying chat thus easily replaced by rich chat platforms like Discord.

Frankly, real time chat is a big way to get to know people. It’s basically conversation. Meanwhile 10 years on HN and I don’t know a single person.

Forums are good for lots of things, but don’t discount chat.
Marc Fleury, that's a name I haven't heard of in a long time but brings back a lot of memories of JBoss and all.

Sounds like you have a lot of positive energy despite the history. I'm sure that speaks volumes of you character.

Thanks for all that you did on these projects! While not Fluery rich myself, your work certainly enriched my own life.
The term is probably "regulatory capture"
I will take a stab. Mind you, I have not even clicked on the article, much less read it or know what the methodology is. Here goes ----

"The have used a correlational model, not a causal model. There are several confounding variables the paper doesn't consider, hence it is not proven from the evidence that Facebook has a negative impact "
Ben (product engineer) - Ditto can be used purely P2P with only users' devices or in combination with our managed Ditto Cloud. Alternatively, you could use this with your own infrastructure with as little as one box. It really depends on how much data your application has and creates as to the size of server you would need.

Ducks, the story:

I was using Python in-memory vector search engine called Annoy [1] to do semantic search on various kinds of data. It worked great for finding "similar" objects. Story A has similar text to story B, image A looks like image B, etc.

So Annoy solved the hard part. But doing basic metadata lookups was surprisingly hard in Python. How do I get all images matching some criteria (say, size range, or tags)? I'd have to serialize them all into a DB, and use a DB index. Databases are great, but they add code bloat and overhead; I'm usually working Jupyter notebooks and I like keeping as few external dependencies as possible.

So I wrote ducks as a quick, convenient way to index anything.

There's lots of other usage patterns of course, it's very generic. It makes a great Wordle / crossword solver too. "Find me words where the first letter is A and the fifth letter is L" is very fast in ducks.

Indexing is just one of those things you always need. Python didn't have a good way to do it, and now it does!

Source code's here if you're curious: https://github.com/manimino/ducks

I occasionally fire up Numbers on my i-devices. It's ok on iPads. But on my iPhone it's a bit painful. Haven't tried it on there in a few years. I should try it again to see if works better on the small screen now.
This is a standard, not a piece of software. Nothing "happens" just like nothing "happened" to mp3 or jpeg when they stopped being actively changed.
Yeah there’s some supposition in the article so I’m not clear if it’s HDR10+ or an extension of it, just that Google wants to do something to break Dolby’s bank and they’ve got a heist crew with something to prove (i.e. Netflix, Samsung, Meta, et al.) and a placeholder name for the audio stuff (“Immersive Audio Container”). The distinction hardly matters since it’ll just be one more format (or set of formats) for manufacturers to support.
LG has launched its second annual global search for socially impactful startups
Yes investing in yourself. I said online courses but it can be anything that will make you better equipped for earning much more than $10k.
Following last year's successful program introduction, LG NOVA invites companies of all sizes and stages to propose their business ideas for the opportunity to grow and work with LG. Qualifying companies will have access to resources and potential investments from LG and the Capital Alliance to support the joint business model, as well as resources and funding for concept development and support from LG's global infrastructure and supply chain. The call for submissions is open until October 6.
What do you mean by rewrote? Are you saying the Washingtgon Post published article calling a position a "fringe theory" which a previous, entirely different, article they published referred to as a "conspiracy theory"? Or are you saying they edited a single article, changing the text "conspiracy theory" to "fringe theory"?
I mean, the real takeaway here is to burn down any and all connection you have with ANY service that is acquired by private equity the minute you can.
People are taking my comment out of context. I'm not saying that Israel is 100% for sure behind this. I'm offering an equally likely explanation in response to the individual above who concluded that this was definitely because women randomly decided that they'd had enough.

Was it actually Israel? Was it just angry women? Nobody truly knows, least of all me or GP.
So it would be like if a big tech company used its money from search to fund an audio standard and give away the software for free to undercut a rival…

I don't think they write about Ivermectin all that often but I see a story in recent days, is it this one you mean?

https://dailysceptic.org/2022/09/03/ivermectin-cuts-covid-mo...

It's reporting on a very large study from Brazil that was published in a medical journal. If you think the study is un-scientific then could you explain it? Or better, why not write an article and submit it? The DS does publish articles that disagree with each other pretty regularly. They aren't a site that has a particular "line" on most topics beyond lockdowns, e.g. they have hosted articles both agreeing and disagreeing that there is an excess deaths problem in England.

I ignore most Ivermectin stuff because at least as of last year there were lots of studies and they mostly seemed to be junk quality. Also I can't easily get it here anyway so whatever. But one thing I'm pretty sure of is that whatever health authorities say about it is nonsense. Horse paste and all that. I'm not being glib.

For Omicron I meant this:

https://cmmid.github.io/topics/covid19/reports/omicron_engla...

It was LSHTM not SAGE sorry (hardly any difference though, LSHTM modellers contributed to SAGE stuff I think), they uploaded a document on 11th Dec - a long time after Omicron was announced - that stated "Due to a lack of data, we assume Omicron has the same severity as Delta". There was no lack of data that could have justified this assumption. This got in the press and spooked the govt.

They later admitted it was all wrong:

I simply refuse to play their game (free/race to the bottom). This isn't always a viable strategy (see stable diffusion vs OpenAI), but when I find myself in one of these situations I shoot for quality instead. The customers will pay, but I will do everything I can to give them a higher quality experience, whatever that entails.
This might be an outlier, but I think the benefit of completely outlawing deepfakes is worth the "but freedom!" harm.

I think deepfakes have the power to do much more real, immediate damage to society vs the "threat" of AGI
While I understand where are you coming from, GNU is a great counterbalance to the currents and trends what we have today.

It single-handedly made open source ubiquitous, normalized open source licensing and changed the how software is built.

I'm a strong proponent of the philosophy GNU is putting forward (the reality is GNU is just something which aligns my ideology, I'm not a convert), but I understand that both things are not that easy and non-GNU world will always exist in some form.

On the other hand, regardless of the software I use, all software I develop is strictly GNU/GPLv3. I also contribute to projects with more permissive licenses, but my software is always GPL.

GNU may not be able to convert the whole world to Free software, but it's a necessary force to protect our current environment and evolve it for the better.

Moreover, while not pointed at you directly, GNU and GPL is vastly misunderstood concepts. They are neither evil, nor unreasonable. It just aims to move the freedoms developers enjoy with MIT/Expat licenses to users by making them irrevocable.
No mention of ha in the documentation.

I can’t understand whether HA would rely on the standard postgresql tooling or if you have to pay for some kind of enterprise license to get it.
If everyone thought this they'd put themselves out of the consumer hardware business.
If you ask Peter Thiel, it’s certainly not to engage in competition for the ultimate benefit of consumers. Not that he somehow speaks for everyone in VC funded startups at all. I just don’t find many other voices willing to say “competition is for losers” out loud where regulators might hear, even if the structure of their investments looks like it needs to find a monopoly to me.
While conveniently ignoring the messes of the past.

When this system was made 2500 years ago it worked, because it was new and adapted to the conditions then. Then guess what, the world changed and those systems stopped working because the assumptions they are built on no longer exist.

If you brought a lifeform from 2500 years ago to the world today it would get sick and die. It's defense system would not be adapted to the threats it would experience. Yet this is the first thing people try to do with the complex systems we create and they will suffer the same fate.
Didn't US and FATF pressure other nations into giving up 'hiding money' through threats to cut them off from the US or partner financial systems? What happens if some coin and its developers have no interest in being connected to the US financial system -- it seems like then there would be limited ability to influence them and off/on ramps would still exist through criminal networks (and the mere presence of an on/off ramp lends USD/"X" pair value, even if the person using "X" doesn't use the ramp).
Maybe I'm too romantic, but I'd like to see an american GDPR (not saying that the eu name or the bill itself is better), and then an Asian and so on till we have one global GDPR protecting all consumer data.

My introduction to the industry. The memories.
Neanderthals probably did have some form of language since appear to also have had a gene that is crucial to language in humans. And they buried their dead. So why would we presume they didn't make some sort of marks intentionally, to convey meaning or just to decorate their favorite rock?
