>>What's your threat scenario ? If you fear for your life when ...

It is not just "fear for your life", it is simply being a bit prepared for the kinds of thefts and emergencies that are not uncommon. It is not like petty thieves preying on tourists only frequent the favelas of Rio; they're in just about any tourist town. The threat and response model is merely don't make it obvious that you're a target, and take a few steps so that if you do get targeted, it isn't a disaster - you lose some currency and a wallet, but not your passport, credit cards, etc., and especially not your only copy of that key info. And you know where to go find help if you need it, or to escape in a disaster.

This is no different than wearing a seat belt in an automobile, a helmet on a motorcycle. You aren't planning to crash, you are just taking minor precautions in case you do. I've been driving for decades, always worn a seatbelt, thankfully never yet needed it to keep me lashed down in a crash, but one did help save me from crashing keeping me located in the seat in one energetic emergency evasion maneuver. Yet I only wear my helmet on the racetrack. I do not feel the need to re-evaluate my threat model of either driving or toursiting, but I did add a few of those suggestions to my travel checklist.
Kind of a shame he never talks about the lenses on these cameras. The sony has a 12-24mm f2.8 which is a good lens but you could go much, much further with a prime lens (though ofc, you lose versatility).

In reality, he never really pushed any of the cameras... he kind of just took very regular pictures which for most people is enough but that's definitely not the usage you'd give to these cameras.

I think a much more fair comparison is getting a sony a6000 for what, 200, 300 bucks? couple it with one of the very good new prime (or zoom) APC lenses from sony or sigma (for example the sigma 18-55 f2.8, which goes for about 400 dollars) and you have a much better camera than what the iphone can give you for a lot more situations. The sigma lens is wide enough and fast enough to give you incomparable night photography against the iphone. It'll offer much better portraits as well at that 55mm f2.8. Yes, the iphone is more compact and offers a million other fuctions; but then... what's really the point of these comparisons?

I thought this video was kind of dumb and pointless? 48 megapixels is nice but that's really not what makes these professional cameras what they are. Could you capture a cheetah running at 120km/h from hundreds of meters away with the iphone? No, but that's kind of the reason why you'd get one of these expensive cameras (you'd also need a super expensive zoom lens). When he goes to studio photography, would you really use that f2.8 24mm to take pictures? In a studio? Absolutely not, you'd go with a prime portrait lens or a prime wide lens with f1.4 or f1.8 apertures which would give you insane bookeh that's simply impossible to get on the iphone.

So I guess my point is just that... I kind of feel like this video is simply content for the sake of content; it's very clickbaity and portraits the iphone as being "comparable" to these cameras and it is but just in the sense that you can easily dumb-down these machines to be at the level of the iphone. Again, I think a much more realistic comparison is getting a cheap a6000 plus the sigma 18-55 f2.8 and compare them in all kinds of scenarios because then you have a set up that's sort of similar in price (~800) to the iphone but you would really get to see how much good optics affect photography. Anyway, I guess some people just want to make money and entertain.

I agree that TypeScript, in and of itself, doesn't change the way the code executes. This is self-evident.

But the idea that that makes it simply "fancy documentation" is hilarious. I have never seen documentation that can tell you at compile-time how your code will behave, it's fundamentally stupid to argue that static type checking is in any way comparable with documentation

No, it's cultural; Americans just can't imagine not using dry paper to smear feces around after they use the toilet, instead of using water to properly clean themselves. I tried talking to people I knew about them during the pandemic when everyone was freaking out about toilet paper shortages, but it went nowhere.

I also suspect NIH is a big part of the problem. Bidets and washlets weren't invented in America or adopted there first, so Americans can't adopt them now since that would be admitting they weren't first for something. Americans are, as a whole, completely unable to look at what other countries are doing and learn from their example.
Years ago, i made something similar as a coursework (Computer Graphics)

> I wish they'd do it with panel shows

My guess is that Poms value wit, and the majority of Americans don’t (in my experience). Within most any social class in the UK, wit is recognised: watching say a street cleaner make a sublimey witty comment is comedic fools gold. Also the British colony owerlords relentlessly take the piss out of themselves, maybe just so the French can’t beat them, oooo errr.

Meanwhile us colony exploiters would like to be able to give the BBC money so we can enjoy their terrible programmeing. But those anti-capitalist-royalist-uneuropean-twats won’t accept our livres for their crooked tooth pictures.

The difference is that GMail is useful even if none of your friends are on it.

Making a social network like Google+ be invite-only when everybody was already on Facebook was an absolutely bone-headed move and I think was THE driving factor for its failure.

There were so many memes about people finally getting an invite to Google+ and then discovering nobody was there. Without your friends on it, you're not going to make it part of your daily routine, and eventually just forget about it entirely. By the time it wasn't invite-only anymore, the hype was gone and Google+ had already been considered to be a joke.
I am talking about what SC stands to make. Revenue from GTA Online was 1 billion dollars in 2020 alone, which was 8 years after it launched.

You are right about requiring more case studies. In the same context, MV3 extensions are being moved away from persistent background pages to ephemeral service workers. There's a thread and several very popular crbugs for how the web-based service workers don't work well for extensions (https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/72). Given all this, the Chrome team continues with the change citing increased performance when using service workers. However, even when extension developers continue to come out with claims of decreasing performance, the Chrome team - as in the malware case - has not provided any case studies on how it is so sure about the increased performance (or efficiency, memory use, etc.) of SWs.

Then you misunderstood.

The same you’d rank a person’s work, you would rank a team or org’s work.

If that team is doing really well, it’s likely they will have a distribution of higher rankings than the average. If they’re doing really bad, it can be the opposite.

The point is that if you finished ranking some team and your rankings are higher than average, you need to have a reason why.

Sure, Celsius may have topped up collateral in the meantime. But that would imply taking in the loan at a higher initial value. The numbers aren't exact, since we don't know when the loan was signed & negotiated.

The numbers don't need to be exact in any case given the magnitude of the discrepancies.

The core issue is, again, that Celsius stopped providing margin in May 2022 but were liquidated on June 15th.

Tether ate the loss for the difference in price between those two dates. Tether should have liquidated Celsius in May 2022, but didn't.

There's no way the math doesn't check out with tether ending up at a loss.

Similarly for the $190m of Celsius equity Tether bought, which is now worthless in bankruptcy proceedings.

The fact is Tether lost a 9 figure sum on Celsius. The only question is what the X is in a $X00,000,000 figure.

low-tech users don't care much for their privacy in my experiences. This may be due partially due to the lack of understanding, but also due to cultural differences different from the average hn user. The time needed to teach them how to use complicated security systems just isn't worth it for them most of the time. People have different priorities. Most people just want to use their computers as a utility or for playing fun games or something.

Glad we're on the same page about the multiple techniques now. Statements you made like, "Pekar et al. do some complicated phylogenetic modeling that purports to show the MRCA in humans is too recent" and "This isn't any standard molecular clock approach. It's a byzantine stack of plausible but somewhat arbitrary assumptions" made it clear there was confusion before. Their tree is based off a couple novel modification to established techniques. Your characterizations were inaccurate and laughable.

> It carries a different set of plausible but arbitrary assumptions though, again about the stochasticity/overdispersion and sampling rate of early spread, just less directly.

So, you don't only have problems with the modeling of the authors, but their base phylogeny too? Do you reject their tMRCA? Good grief.

I'm still looking forward to discussing the molecular phylogenetics of this paper sometime.

a .yaml file in your favorite editor?

For metadata search, use regular text search in editor.. A prefix to avoid false positives comes handy, for example "s:aws" instead of "aws". You can also have nested structs to group your hosts widely.

For querying, tiny scripts in your favorite language.. the idea is to have many one-off scripts which do exactly what you need, instead of having one super-script that does it all. Here is an example of one of my scripts, which looks up IP based on human-readable name. (I could probably do it in one line of "yq" as well)

#!/usr/bin/python3 -B
# given a "name" in arguments, return corresponding IP
import yaml, os, sys
s = yaml.safe_load(open(os.path.expanduser("~/data/hostnames.yaml")))
match = [info["ip"] for group in s.values() for name, info in group.items() if name in sys.argv[1:]]
if len(match) != 1: sys.exit("name not found")
print(match[0])

Yours would be different based on your requirements.

The tricky part is sometimes you need a printable report -- for this I export to csv and then open in editor. Not perfect, but works.
Forgive me if I missed the a comment that actually got why amazon is doing this and therefore why it should be illegal. This is not about getting the best price for consumers on amazon. This is about stifling competition for selling products at competitors to amazon because amazon has hugely marked up fees to sell there vs pretty much everywhere else. By ensuring your item has to be priced the same on competitors sites it negates the ability of amazon's competitors to compete on price, which protects amazon's entrenched position as the market leader in online marketplaces. This needs to be illegal because online retailers have differential costs and should be competing on price (among other things) to sell products because when they do the consumer benefits and businesses get more efficient so society benefits as a whole as well.
None of that explains what price gouging is or how to distinguish it from normal market price variations.

My biggest gripe isn't teams-specific, it's that MS office products still won't support multiple logins. With Google I can be logged into my 4 different work, personal and business accounts simultaneously and switching between the active one is a single button click.

MS won't even support two accounts, so 3 out of 4 times I get invited to a teams meeting I'm in the wrong account, and it's a huge pain to sign out and sign back in; there's no single sign-in (even in Windows!) that works for Outlook, Onedrive, Teams, etc. all at once. Ridiculous.

I think a lot of important and frequently applied elements of math are, like Bezier splines, something that can be understood in different ways, in different contexts. e.g. what is a matrix? You can tell a story about systems of equations, or about tensors or maybe bilinear forms, or about coordinate system transforms, etc. All of these are valid, and good understanding comes from being able to hold multiple views of the same underlying thing simultaneously.

You have embraced one way of interpreting a quadratic Bezier curve, as a curve characterized by some constant second derivative (2 degrees of freedom or DOF), an initial velocity (2 DOF), and an initial position (2 DOF). Someone from computer-aided design (CAD) might specify the curve in terms of the start point (2 DOF), end point (2 DOF), and control point (2 DOF). Someone implementing all this in code might evaluate the basis functions, or might use Casteljau's method to do the lerp of the lerps, as you noted. All of these end up being different views of the same math object, and all of them are sensible.

In particular, what is most "physical" may be subjective. An important use of splines was CAD, where a human is saying: I need something to go from here, to here, in a smooth way that I can nudge with this control point. That is how we interact with cubic Bezier splines in drawing programs, and those control points for specifying the spline are nice and tangible, if not physical. A curve of constant jerk is physical too, I guess, but doesn't align as well with how the expressivity of cubic splines frequently gets invoked.

There is definitely elitism in how some people describe their use of math (behold my sophistication); it's a bummer. More charitably, you could understand it as the author respecting the time of the reader assumed to already understand something about the topic. But don't let that discourage you.
I think its perhaps the perfect way to avoid meetings.

Experts in drilling oil wells do not have an extended knowledge on Earth's climate mechanisms, and usually they don't even make reports about this subject. When they do, it is seen suspiciously because it is not their domain of expertise.

So, people expressing themselves outside their domain of expertise are not to be trusted.

In your example "that oil wells are beneficial" means probably "also beneficial for the climate"? "for our future as Humanity"? "for health"? So you see, it is vague and probably wrong.
