> I think Firefox will unlikely gain the traction again even if we can bring those big techs to a fair playground

Probably true, as long as it depends on the same big tech for revenue.
Either one we’ve seen or one we haven’t! In the canon lore he disguises himself as the Lord of Gifts from Valinor and works with Celebrimbor to create the rings of power. Elrond, Gil-Galad and Galadriel don’t trust him but don’t realize who he really is. My money is on Halbrand, as he’s a good smith and able to persuade people to do as he wants but it’s probably a false lead and he’ll come in later.
Every day on Reddit, I see people asking "What is X?" And it's so fucking stupid. Why ask? Try to learn what is X by yourself, you are literally two clicks (long press and touch or whatever) away from getting an answer. But people don't want to do that (and some of them don't even know, for sure). But they are totally okay to register on Reddit, ask that question (and maybe even come some time to receive the answer).
4. Needing what is essentially the same tech multiple times to do the same thing.

That's not really how equity works. A company can issue equity out of thin air, and in fact, this is how most employee stock based comp works. In fact, Google specifically is criticized on their financial returns because of how much of their compensation is based in equity which dilutes existing shareholders outside the company. You can read about the high level ideas of this at https://www.wallstreetprep.com/knowledge/modeling-stock-base...

Not only that but barely anything changed in Europe either. They were required to show a browser choice screen... for 4 years. Only a tiny fraction of the population will have ever seen it.
I don’t understand this line of thinking, it’s kind of implied that if he says “this show is bad” , that it is like, his opinion man.

Amazon may as well have attempted to rewrite chapters of the Bible and sell it to the south. "Just give it a chance!"

Given the licensing constraints I truly don't know why they didn't just remake Lord of the Rings into a TV show. Rewriting background stories for established characters is a fools errand.

I'm curious about the differing fortunes between "Rings of Power" and "House of the Dragon." The "Rings of Power" peaked at episode 1 (7.4) on IMDB, and has been declining with every new episode. Compare this to "House of the Dragon" which seems to be picking up momentum, and the most recent episode was rated extremely well (9.1). Both of these shows cater to audiences with strong opinions set in established worlds.
Looks like it's licensed under the X11 license: https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Python/blob/master/LICENSE....

The URLs are pretty shitty: https://the-algorithms.com/algorithm/show-response

What I wanted to link to there was https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Python/blob/master/audio_fi..., where we see that evidently doing an FFT in Python requires... matplotlib?

And in https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Python/blob/master/backtrac... we see a graph-coloring algorithm statically typed to use (lists of) the built-in lists, so you can't store your graphs in a Numpy matrix or a sparse matrix.

On the other hand, the doc strings are great, and seem to include doctests for just about everything.

So I suspect that this is not going to be a very useful repository for reusable code, but it should be wonderful as a learning resource.
Looks more like a Commodore 128, but it's hard to tell under all those layers of...yuck.
> All the money the borrower dedicated to paying off the mortgage gives them nothing in return. Essentially robbery.

This is exaggerated to the point of nonsense. I.e. it's literally not clear whether you are hyperbolising for effect, or have no idea what you're talking about.

You pay the bank for the use of the money. After 1 fully-paid year of your 30 year mortgage, you own 1.2% of the property. Or more precisely, your debt obligation is reduced by 1.2%.

After 15 years, you own 32%. After 20 years, 50%. After 30 years, 100%. It's not linear, which upsets people, but it makes perfect sense if you do the math.

In the mean time, if the property appreciates in value, all of that extra value belongs to you.

If you stop paying the mortgage at any time, yes the bank will repossess the house to get the money you still owe them. Not all of your future payments, just the remaining debt. If the sale price is in excess of your remaining debt, they send you a check.

Moral of the story: Do not mortgage short-term housing, except in rapidly increasing markets. And even/especially then, beware.

Corollary: Rental property is a necessary thing, and landpeople provide an essential service.

Reality: Some landthings suck.
>It‘s not a phase. I am turning 30 soon.

At least a little, it might actually still be a phase. I'm 40 this year, and something I can say in retrospect is that I was a very dramatic person from about 26 to 31. Those were probably my most existentially anxious years. Of course, it would also be wrong to definitively tell you it's a phase--it might not be a phase--but I also do remember what you are feeling now and that it eventually went away as I lightened up.

I think, and might be mistaken, people feel so dreadful in their late 20s because they think that their life is completely over at 30. This too, I think, is because I think they still have such a strong memory of being a teenager and thinking anyone over 26 is old and boring.

When I was 29, a 50 year old guy at work said to me "you have the whole thing still in front of you". I was polite, but secretly felt the the assessment was ridiculous. I felt so strongly that it was over for me that I wrote it off as his own politeness. But it's actually true, you are, right now, at an amazing point in your life. Try to appreciate the miracle of being 30 years old. It's a tremendous gift and you can claim it for quite some time still.

Here's what I was doing from 26-32: I lived with my parents, almost entirely unemployed and increasingly isolated from my former friends. At 34, I went back to school and was hanging out with a big group of friends (many in their 20s), going to the beach and even house parties. Of course, it eventually became clear it was time to move on from that kind of life. But I say this because I want you to understand that your life is not set in concrete right now. You can still do and have anything you want.

Here's my advice to you: join toastmasters, or reconnect with your absolutely ugliest friend. This is important because they will likely connect you other people who not so ugly, and because they will probably appreciate the company. I would say: you need a strategy. Think of where the people are and go have a look. Maybe you can learn something, but try not to creep anyone out while you do it.

Good luck friend.

'fun' so often means climbing the mountain. Something we will do no matter how poor we are. Google's goal is to harness that to use it against all their users.

I'll tell you now I will never work for google; I will die destitute in the middle of the Atlantic on my boat before I contribute the whores you have brought.

Of course I know that won't happen. Computer science has a lot in common with "so called magic" and those that understand it can conjure the spirit in the machine. Those at the top are jealous and confused and we know where we are and what we want.

EDIT: well that's a lot to be downvoted on hackernews for that. We know who we are and we can see who we're not. Come after us and test this principle.

I am also very melancholic person and love to be alone. Actually, never looked up on the meaning of saudade till now but it perfectly sums it up why I am also in love with Brazilian Bossa Nova tunes.

However, as I get older, I also understood that, it's also a bit egoistic. I push myself now to talk to people often, especially in the mornings where I hate to talk the most. I am good with people and love them actually, and pretty sure you do to.

Deep down all of us want to connect with one another, even if it's just one person, try it out. Try to push yourself in the beginning and see how it works out.

I think you're failing to appreciate the reason why they built the "Separate" model. Their headline claim is that SARS-CoV-2 arose from two zoonotic introductions into humans. If you want to express that claim in terms of the real pandemic's tree, then the relevant tree is the tree in humans only, which would then have two roots.

The construction of such a tree inherently depends on our assumptions on the epi dynamics. For example, if you give me a hundred genomes and I propose a hundred roots, then that wouldn't usually be a very good tree; but if the disease in question were known to spread animal-to-human but not human-to-human, then that might be correct. Nothing in their "Inferring" model allows them to incorporate such obviously relevant information, so that seems like an obvious deficiency.

To put it another way, you write:

> If you read `Inferring the MRCA...`, all of this is already known and observed before the modeling is even run.

After "Inferring", I believe they know the real tree has structure that's obviously non-modal (i.e., not the most likely outcome) given any single introduction. I don't see how they'd know whether it's a p = 20% non-modal or p = 0.5% non-modal outcome without an epi model like "Separate", or some kind of ugly incorporation of the epi dynamics into BEAST that they wisely didn't attempt.

I believe that's why the authors built "Separate", and its basic form is good work. (If you don't, then why do you think they spent their time on that?) I just disagree with their parameter choices and excessive confidence in their result.

As to your other reply, I agree the 10% is a rough number, not considering mutation biases and such. That's just the probability in a single transmission though, and it's also possible (and more likely) that the two lineages formed in humans with intermediate lineages that went extinct before they could be sampled. I think we at least agree that timing alone is insufficient to exclude evolution of the two lineages in humans though, even assuming a December introduction? I'm just trying to confirm that none of the evidence you see for two introductions in "Inferring" comes from its tMRCA.
I wonder what we'd need to store data 'in transit'.

There's a delay with data reaching a location, so why can't we send data to ourselves around the globe and when it gets to us, send it around again.. just around and around.

We have very different ideal worlds, it seems. Here are my takes on your points:

1. Very broadly speaking, trans people cannot procreate in the usual way --- our hormone treatments make us sterile. We primarily use sex and fetishism as vehicles for self-exploration and, yes, self-improvement. Our desires express fundamental parts of ourselves, and I posit that we find the same kind of soul joy that you derive from submission to what you call God in playing together --- the ecstasy of being subsumed in something larger than yourself. You have your spiritual practice; we have ours. This is not an exaggeration.

2. Again, we can't procreate. And even if my HRT didn't make me sterile, I'd have myself sterilized because I am terribly afraid of what my child would have to witness.

3. I question what "honor in the bedrooms" means. This goes back to your ideal world versus mine. With the greatest respect, this language has been used for centuries to exclude me and mine from a sphere of life that is crucial to our existence, so you'll excuse me if I don't hold it in high esteem.

4. This argument proves quite a lot --- essentially, as I read it, saying that any sensual or mental pleasure that does not come from submission to what you call God is harmful/sinful. You are welcome to believe this, but trying to live under such a burden crushed my soul. So, no thank you.

More broadly, your argument adds up to "porn is harmful because it goes against the Christian notions of family, matrimony, procreation." My people's culture --- and it is a culture all its own --- does not have those notions, not in the same form. Many of us were disowned. A good portion of us were sent to Procrustean "reparative" therapy to try to make us cis and straight --- which would destroy the person we really are. I don't have a study for you, but anecdotally I'd say 90% of the stories I've heard happened under the banner of what you call God.

It's a little easier to argue that Procrustes' table is good when you already fit on it.

I won't go into arguing this point (I'm commenting on this thread in general), but I'd like to make one point.

There is a lot of chat about how horrible and stupid and crazy anyone who voted for Brexit was.

For me this has the effect of shutting down any debate whatsoever, and making HN just another group-think forum destroying the main reason why I come here and read.

You may strongly disagree with the ruling party - that's fine, but the politicians advocating their ideas are by not means stupid (Kwarteng has a PhD in economic history from the University of Cambridge, Truss read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Merton College, Oxford). Rachel Reeves the shadow chancellor for that matter has a MSc in Economics from the London School of Economics.

All of these people know far more about economics than I do and for the most part whether I agree with them or not, I believe that they do have the best interests of Britain at heart; and I would say being "devoid of ideas" might be due to the circumstances in Britain and the world being pretty challenging with there being no easy answers. It doesn't take looking much beyond our borders to see that other countries' leaders are also struggling to deal with difficult circumstances (Olaf Sholz is leading a very divided Germany; Macron is being challenged by both extremes; Italy looks to be electing a pretty far-right leader).

Let's try to keep the name-calling and insulting to a minimum - it really doesn't help anyone, nor is it going to convince anyone of the rightness of your cause.

One of the things that piss me off is that sometimes even forks are not accepted.

For example Formula 1 TV doesn't work on my SmartTV or on some of my browsers despite them being forks of Chrome, where it works just fine.

Not only that, it used to work there in the past, what happened is now it actively detects if the browser is a real Google Chrome from Google (not a recompiled version), and refuse to work otherwise, even if technically it could work just fine.
It's funny that if the client decides to hire a big consultancy to do exactly the same thing, these rules do not apply.

The big consultancy gets paid an invoice, they pay their employee some salary and keep the profit.
If one man band business does the same thing, there is all sort of fuss about being a disguised employee and if the IR35 is applied, then they get taxed on the entire invoice.

To bring level playing field, these big consultancies should also be taxed on the invoice paid by the client, without being able to keep profit. If their workers were assessed for IR35, they would all be caught by it.

It's such a nonsense.

Originally Sauron was a Maia who was 'good and uncorrupted' with a passion for order. He sided with Morgoth because he thought if they could control the minds of Middle-Earth they'd be better off. As far as I know, in the lore, Sauron isn't evil in the way he's portrayed in the movies in that his goal is to improve everyones lives through efficiency and order (so it's not as simple as light v dark).

Sauron can shape-shift so in the second age he shows himself as a fair and beautiful man, but he's also portrayed as a werewolf and vampire in the books at different times!
Telling someone to just use Linux comes from a position of privilege. Not everyone is tech savvy (no, I don't care about your grandma being able to write her own video drivers) and many people must use software that's not available on Linux. No, the open source version isn't the same thing and saying "just use WINE" is once again coming from a position of privilege. Overall, telling people to just use Linux is one that lacks empathy for individual circumstances.

I have not seen the show. I don’t have a horse in this. But I think the author’s point was more general: the world and the actions of the characters don’t make any sense. The honor culture thing is a fantasy trope, and you need to either follow it, or replace it with a different value system. He claims the show does neither.

Some people are happy to watch badasses swing swords at things. Other people are interested in character development, world building, and storytelling. He is saying the show panders to the first group while neglecting the second.

I mean, Europe used to mandate a selection screen on first boot that would just ask the user what browser to install; that seems pretty reasonable. Failing that, they could let the user actually change their default browser without harassing them or resetting it constantly (Windows) or allow people to actually use other browser engines at all (iOS).

They did. But it's hard to get people to switch when the OS vendor makes it artificially hard to switch.
