Amazon walking back raises after internal bug miscalculated compensation
If you want to call it strawmanning then I was mirroring the tactic of the author in the article. I thought it ignorant and pretentious to call tradition "smarter" as if changes, in general, are dumber; that's a strawman. And of course it's obvious, some things that are in place are in place because they're good, you should understand it first. And then you should likewise understand the need for changes; both are valid. Nowhere in my reply did I invalidate tradition, more defending the need for changes sometimes and pointing out the folly of the title.
Photographing public space is somehow different from monitoring it with a camera 24/7. Here in Germany, installing a camera which also captures the sidewalk next to your property or a part of your neighbors property would be illegal.
"Helping Newcomers" onboarding is also a very important contribution to open source community!
Yeah, when doing it with hand, I surely would shorten it. But when doing math on the computer with help of autocomplete, why not?
But well, I do not really know if that in pure math shape exists, I am only doing Math in the context of programming.

And for pedagogic purposes, I do would like more meaningful names at times.

From here on out I will only be taking full remote jobs. For me the upsides far outweigh the downsides.

* Not having to commute is huge for me. I get so much more time back that way.

* Time flexibility is super important.

* Focus time is much more readily available in remote work.

* My socialization needs are met mostly in extra curricular activities so it's not really something I need my job to fulfill.

This is the same one-sentence paragraph style that tweets and LinkedIn posts are written in. What is it, and why do you use it?
You are talking about the people who are voted in, I am talking about the mindset of the voters. Optimism indicates more economic activity and less social unrest and instability.
I don't know about OP, but in Switzerland at least no, that wouldn't be legal for a private citizen to do at their home.

The problem is using a camera to monitor people. It doesn't matter if the camera is only a live video feed to a TV screen, or you save the files to disk, or you run frames through a script without saving to disk.

Dash cams are also in practice not allowed for the same reasons (license plates, peoples faces).
If you subscribe to the cypherpunk mantra that ”code is law“, then yes. Otherwise, if you stick to the law that lawyers and judges apply, then mostly no. NFT ownership does not come with any rights to the underlying asset, unless specified in an accompanying contract.
Well, you can try to order several copies of a piece at once and return those that don't fit... that is, if your market platform allows that. The ones over here recently have started charge a not insignificant amount of money for returns.
One attribute that I haven't seen mentioned yet is voice. A man with a deep voice absolutely will get more attention than their peers, while a high and/or nasal voice (male or female) can be a significant handicap. A bit of training can help, but to a large extent these are innate and immutable characteristics that can effect career (and romantic) trajectories.
Unfortunately not. Since my app allows voting, commenting, favouriting etc, doing that on my server side won’t be possible as I don’t have access to the user authentication cookies.
How do they check?
Quickly build and validate your startup ideas, without any code.
You can use whatever notation you want for your own work, but documenting with, at least, formal variable definitions would be a significant boon for math literacy.
Me, I looove that the actions config has to be in a file in the repo, so I know where to find it, and if I have read access to the repo, I have access to the config. (Don't even need to be logged into a GH acct, although I usually am).

If they allowed config to come from an internal setting not visible in repo, i'm sure repos I collaborate with would start using that feature, and I would not be able to find their Actions configs.

(I work mostly on open source, which may lead to different patterns of access and such).
When you look at pictures of models/actors juxtaposed with average people you honestly do not see a trend?

Yes. Second amendment supporters often make the same point.
> Radians seem better because the units are related to a property of the circle, but they're hard to visualise and reason about because they don't fit a circle in whole numbers.

When I was learning this in school, radians were always expressed as (fraction * pi), not the final number.

Not sure that calling out a single homogenous religious group as an example (which even within itself is not fully vegan), when literally almost every other culture on earth has and has had meat as a part of their diet is going to do much to convince me that vegan or vegetarianism is the default dietary behavior of the human race.

Your morals and ethics are your own, I do not need absolution for nor am bound by your dietary ethical standards.
Well this isn’t very fair. Yes, triangles have very little to do with the true nature of sin and cos.

It’s also true that they are the basic building blocks of cyclicity.

But to say they are not geometric tools is dishonest. They instead show us that geometry is deeply connected to many other, sometimes-surprising, areas of mathematics.
"Kilo-" as a prefix just means thousand, derived from Greek.

Doesn’t seem arbitrary to me. Can you explain what you mean by that?

Of course, all number systems are arbitrary in a sense.
For what it's worth RE: HIBP, the lookup is never actually done on an email address. If you use the API (https://haveibeenpwned.com/API/v2#SearchingPwnedPasswordsByR..., or https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/3E398 to see the API result), you transmit 5 characters of the SHA1 hash of the email address and check if the full hash is in the list.

This makes it possible to use the API without worrying about user privacy as long as you keep checking the email addresses, even after indicators of compromise. Suppose spam@jeroenhd.nl is in the list is the only email address with 0xABCDE as the start of the hash, and the full hash being 0xABCDE0000; now bizniz@dijonman2.com happens to have the hash 0xABCDE1234. You transmit ABCDE to the backend, but even with the unique five letters of spam@jeroenhd.nl, how can the server possibly know if you're checking spam@jeroenhd.nl (a listed entry) or your own address? The server provides the list of hashes (only 0xABCDE1234) and you verify on your end that 0xABCDE1234≠0xABCDE0000, proving that your email is unlisted.

On average, the returned amount of hashes is claimed to be 381-584. That means that even if your customer is on the list, they're at best one of the ±478 hashes (on average) in the response if they're even listed at all!

The full explanations is here: https://www.troyhunt.com/understanding-have-i-been-pwneds-us..., it's worth a read if you're interested. In practice, I wouldn't worry about your customers' data in this case, because you're not really sending anything identifiable to a third party.

There are less privacy conscious APIs to HIBP, but the range search is probably the easiest and most private way to get the checks done.

All of that said, I use random passwords for every service I use and I'd very much like to opt out of your auto reset system. I'm in favour of adding the feature (more websites should, in my opinion!) but I don't like to be forced to change my already unique password if I don't have to.
"People visit McMaster-Carr with high intent to buy a specific part, that's it."

Mcmaster is great, but it's important to point out there's no brand or product selection decisions. You pick your criteria and get exactly one option. It lends itself to a very different experience.

How would this work for cars or couches or headphones?
> It's the same reason it was just nationalized.

These 'fake private' industries don't make much sense anyway. The energy grid in these countries is centrally planned and was built as such.

> The nuclear lobby does share the oil industry's utter disdain both for the environment and environmentalists though

They certainty don't hate smart enviornmentalists who have for 50 years tried to move to green energy.

Of course they hate the kind of Greenpeace environmentalists who have for 50 years demonized the industry with absurd claims.

> The greens never had enough political power to do that.

Go and learn your history. The Greens in coalition with the left made it a explicit point to kill Superphénix.

> It is so very, very obvious how much they hate the Germans with a for proving nuclear power doesnt need to be part of any green transition, for instance.

And yet every single time in the last 5 years I have gone to electricity map I see France in a green color and Germany in a brown color. Amazing how France has been able to have a green grid when Germany was literally just coal.

CO2 saved in the past is far more important then CO2 saved now. What France did in the 70-90s is what everybody could have done and we would have non of the problems we have now.

Not to mention the 100000s of people who suffering from health defects and early deaths because of the greens implicit protected coal.

> Then theyd have run out of money. It's a good thing they didnt choose the 5x more expensive, slightly more dangerous and slower option. Unlike the nuclear industry they gave half a damn about global warming.

Carbon intensity in Germany right now: 316g (we are literally talking middle of the day with massive solar)

Carbon intensity in France right now: 65g

Oh btw, France right now is exporting green power to Germany.

Its amazing how ignorant people can be. Look at France transformation in the 70-90s and how much nuclear they built how quickly. That was with 1960 technology. Germany from 2000-2020 could have been significantly faster with newer technology.

Its absolutly absurd to suggest that Germany from 2000-2020 couldn't have built 40 nuclear reactors. Had they been serious they could have built double that. You can even just built them at current location of coal plants and then turn of those coal plants once the reactor is done, minimal disruption of the overall grid.

And again, you constant claim of '5x' as expensive simply doesn't hold up if you are mass producing plants. Its just nonsense. You are concluding from individual projects that were built in isolation in countries that had lost experience.
There’s always a point where the amount of data makes it a different thing altogether. Like the difference between hearing random strangers talking on the street, and have a full record of everything that person said outside their home for the past 5 years.
That's not a sufficient criteria because people can tell if their competitors are attractive ar not
The service doesn't store your fingerprint. Your fingerprint is just the unlock-key for the hidden password manager in your device.

That's why you can't just change phones, and then login with your fingerprint without setting everything up again.
True, however that doesn't mean x represents an angle. It means you can put a geometric interpretation on an abstract formula. e^ix = cos x + i sin x regardless of what x represents - if you were doing electrical engineering it might be time, for example.

Interpretation is often strongly motivated by what "comes first" in the order in which you learn things, so the whole debate is a bit subjective anyway. Another common example: at school we learn the integral is the area under the curve. At university we learn the area under the curve is the integral. The integral is the "real" thing and the area is just a convenient geometric interpretation, which actually makes no sense for many (most?) integrals. At school we learn it "backwards" purely because it's easier that way, and visual aids are helpful. I think something similar applies to sin and cos.

Windows 10 fixed this sometime around the end of 2020, where you have igpu and a discrete - prior to whatever patch they pushed, if you alt tabbed out of a fullscreen game, there was a good chance that the game window would be a 1" square when you alt tabbed back, if it didn't crash in the meantime.

The "black screen for a couple seconds" thing is still there, you just don't notice it, and once a game has "started" the discrete GPU, you can seamlessly switch back and forth.

some people are mentioning that "i can't believe it took 10 years for this to get fixed" - however back in the late 90s this exact scenario was the most common power gaming setup, with 3dfx cards you'd have 3 cards, two 3d cards with SLI, and a 2D card, usually an intel. The same black screen for a couple seconds, and switching between the desktop and a game had the potential to break things.

The "automatic" switching between igpu and discrete was managed on windows before 2011, because i had a laptop with that setup in 2011 and it would detect 3d applications and use the discrete for that, or you could force one gpu or the other, if you wanted.
Again, you also are talking about candidates. It doesn't matter what the candidates say, if the people are voting because they are afraid that reflects on upcoming economic health and legislative activity (while democracy works that is).

In America, Obama in 08 was the last time most voters votes out of hope instead of fear. Whether you fear biden or trup, fear is fear. Bad shit ahead, buckle in haha.

Microbiologists propose new DNA-based naming system for microbes
Lockdowns were never very popular. There was a reasonable level of discontent from the start, and plenty of people that resented having to modify their behaviour for the sake of (his words) "a few hundred thousand mostly elderly people". In my opinion he gambled on this being a silent majority. It paid off a little, and he does seem to have some followers such as yourself. As I say I'm grateful that's the extent of it.

If all he was doing was challenging the government based on known facts, I would have much less of an issue. But he went much further than that; he managed to get himself published in the mainstream media saying shit like "the country is well on its way to herd immunity" (March 2020), "the virus is expected to vanish in London by the end of next month" (May 2020), and "people will have a natural immunity because they’ve already successfully fought off other coronaviruses, such as the common cold" (July 2020). At best, these were based on wishful and imaginitive interpretations of data. At worst, they were simply made up to bolster his agenda, which is why the article containing that last quote had to be retracted. Either way they were unfounded, and fueled and exploited a growing atmosphere of distrust and division.

And let's not pretend that there was no one else out there looking directly at the science and communicating it to the public. There were websites like Science-Based Medicine to YoutTubers like John Campbell doing a decent job of it (at least for the first year or so). Toby Young was just the one that would promote any voice which parroted his own views.

This is wishful thinking.

The parsing of mbox and maildir storage formats is orthogonal to the mailstore access protocol, isn't it? Does JMAP propose a new mailstore format?
Precisely. The UK probably had the best status with the most privileges in the EU, and even that wasn't enough.
> My current set of candidate pet theories are all based on a vaguely similar foundational notion that the physical universe isn't made up of "matter on top space-time", but rather that there is a single space-time-matter fabric.

> For example, to create matter, space-time must be affected (curved). Or to put it another way, all particles have mass-energy (spacetime curvature) because they are space-time-matter curvature. The idea is to unify QM and GR by making fundamental particles have geometric properties that satisfy GR at all scales.

I also think this is the "obvious solution". Came to the same mental picture of "space-time-energy quants" long ago.

But I guess the main problem is to formulate this in a meaningful mathematical way. (Physics always needs some "stage" on that "things" can happen. GR did not change that; it made the "stage" just more dynamic, and alone that proved to be very hard to formulate in math, which is all about static relations between objects).

BTW: Something that I found very inspirational, and what makes very much sense to me, was this here:

http://www.platonia.com/research.html

(Mr. Barbour has also some pop-science books on his topics).

The basic idea is that there is nothing besides pure geometry on the fundamental level.

That makes sense because to me as what else could be there at all? Anything that is needs to come form somewhere. Only pure structure, something that "just happens" given the idea of "things in a space" could imho resolve this problem. (Which is also quite in line with Wolframs ideas, btw).

That leads to the idea that things "are" because they "must be" alone from the fact that you try to describe their relations.

Contrary to that all physics concentrate on things that aren't "pure". Almost everything in physics is "afflicted" by some "units". But how do you explain the "units"? You can't! They're a given. So imho, even the smallest set of them can't be fundamental. Only pure "proportions", from which "structures" and "shapes" emerge, make sense on the fundamental level. Because such structures "just are", as they're mathematical objects. (Mathematical objects and structure "exist" without being created; nor they can be ever changed or destructed. That makes "very good material" for the fundamentals of a universe, imho).

Also this way to look at things explains one of the most weird and quasi not understood parts of our world, namely time.

Time is a big mystery. Mr. Barbour's ideas were to me the first explanation ever that didn't produce more questions than answers.
Yeah I have to agree here. The first gen SE size was good for me to use for one handed control which was very useful where the device acts as a remote control for a few devices in my home. The screen for the 2nd gen SE is an inch taller and half an inch wider which makes it impractical for me due to RSI. I imagine the screen size for the iphone mini is much bigger than even the new iphone SE so the only choice is to use my iphone se home remote until every app stops working.

The fact is the iphone mini wasn't popular despite some demand for a small phone, phones are heavier due to the evolving chip architectures plus the necessity to stretch every millimetre of screen size. Likewise for laptops (Like many I would pay over the odds for a modern Thinkpad that felt just like a x220) but in reverse, laptops get lighter and thinner with worse keyboards whilst phones get bigger and heavier.

This! Many seem to think that only developers can contribute in a way that gains experience and CV-items. UX people, designers and wordsmiths can have a great impact on a project too. I wish more people found out and contributed.

What ratio are we talking about here roughly? Is is 10% higher or 1000x higher?
I am a dev on the project... The kinds of people I engage with aren't necessarily trying "to keep all this stuff in a box, control it, etc?". The cool thing about OpenZiti is that it's a split vpn by default. Only the traffic you want going toward your services can go there from the users who are supposed to get to it (core tenants of zero trust principles).

I've seen some companies try to go the route you're thinking. There are definitely high-security type of solutions that want, and need that level of control over the network. They are building solutions around OpenZiti to enable the observability part of the equation you're hinting at.

Generally, though, OpenZiti is ideally targeting applications. We'd love it if every app on the planet had their own bespoke, ubiquitous network connection which the developers could control. The network engineers can control the underlay like they want while the developer can control access to the overlay/apps like they want. Ideally, that would be a best of both worlds situation.

> And so, the corporate VPN inherits too much access also, so it works similarly to your desk.
This! 100% nailed it. That's why the split vpn aspect is so important.

Trig is generally called per-calculus in US high schools. It is not a required course, but it is one of the courses everyone on the college track is expected to take.

Though most people haven't used any of that since college and so don't know it very well anymore. I smelled BS when I read the blog, but couldn't put my finger on why - the comment you replied to explained what I knew was the case but couldn't remember.
I think this is overly dismissive. No one in a managerial role is switching jobs for a 10k signing bonus. Companies need to stop scratching their heads about why their talent keeps leaving and just fucking pay them more.
> Worst I've seen so far was one arguing that equations should be written with long variable names (like in programming) instead of single letters and Greek letters.

That could never work. If anything the words comprising mathematical texts should be defined once and thereafter truncated to their first letter to reduce cognitive burden and facilitate greater comprehension.
