I do think the education system has hurt education by mandating a set of things that every student needs to know, and is under-serving everything else. I'd compare this to the outdated 'literary canon'.

Calculus is fun, but I know many people who don't think so. Some that found out it was necessary and had to make it up later. You're never going to convince the kids that it is necessary now to study it as effectively as they might. Ironically I've not needed it anywhere near as much as I though now that autodiff tools exist.

Why not allow them to study something else, then come back to it when it has proven necessary for them? There are other exercises for the mind.
Not defending any form of censorship, but I will say that before 2016, many of us didn't understand just how programmable people were.

Or we suspected it, but just didn't want to admit it to ourselves.
I wouldn't say full success as I didn't actually get a job, but I got deep into interviews that could have led to very good jobs. The progress vs effort ratio is by far the best of any channel.
> Like it or not, there aren't very many robbers in Saudi Arabia - they get their hands cut off.

Is this actually the case or it is apocryphal? A quick google tells me that thefts make up 47% of all total reported crimes in Saudia Arabia in 2002 [1]. That seems like the opposite of "aren't very many", especially when compared to Canada, whose number appear to be 28% in 2020 [2]. (Just the numbers I could find - I'm sure there's reporting issues at play here.)

Collecting potassium iodine is not going to save Americans, that’s for sure. The amount of preparation for the American people to survive would be next to extraordinary. Most people these days do not have what it takes, and certainly our government does not, either.

The thing is that even if the missile defense system works 100% successfully for a nuke approaching the United States, the electromagnetic pulse above is enough to disable all electronic devices in the US. Like the trajectory of the plume covers the vast majority of the US, no matter what direction the nuke comes from.

There is nothing wrong with using whatever data for matching as long as it is specified in the terms the user agrees to by signing up for Facebook Dating. Privacy laws prevent you from using data for other purposes or selling it to third parties.

Most likely they tried this and realised the results are biased. Imagine what data Facebook has about you, they know you live in X1 city, have visited X2 & X3 places recently, have attended X4 & X5 events, have interacted with X6 & X7 pages. Then if they try and match you with other people who have similar profiles, we get headlines such as "Facebook Dating only matches <insert minority> people with other <insert minority> people" as it's biases on hyper-local location.

Using other data such as "Person A likes band Y, we will only match them with other people who like that band too!" doesn't really make sense, as that isn't a requirement to have a good relationship... Unless by liking a band page, you really mean "I religiously go to every concert and could not date a person who does not also do that". So they might as well just do the same as Tinder / Bumble / etc and show anyone within X miles of your location.

The only advantage they really have is your friends circle, so they could use that to suggest friends of friends (of friends?), but I imagine that would quickly be exhausted if they only displayed matches from that.

Seems like an almost unsolvable problem long term as in online poker.
The existence of a calculus class doesn't stop a student from taking music courses or being in the school band. In fact, at the schools I went to/taught at most students that took Calculus were also in the band.
The problem here is that this is just the user space driver and it's on top of nouveau, which is the not-so-ideal open source implementation based on reverse-engineering. We really need some kind of Kernel solution from Nvidia here. Maybe at some point in the near future Nvidia is going to announce a real Kernel driver and then Jason is going to magically announce he also had that as a backend for NVK which he couldn't share before :)

Ask HN: Kubernetes Worth It?
To paraphrase Phil Greenspan’s famous LISP quote: “Does any sufficiently complicated micro service architecture contain an ad hoc, informally specified, bug ridden, slow implementation of half of kubernetes?” Thought that might be an interesting way of saying is it worth bitting the bullet and spending the effort to understand and use kubernetes.
> The prosecutors accuse Harmon of a very unusual crime: remotely swiping Bitcoin...

As opposed to what, "locally" swiping Bitcoin?

> ... Bitcoin stored on a computer device the government had already seized in another case

Yeah that's your problem Mr. Prosecutor, you have no idea where bitcoins are "stored" or what the device you have seized is. Which leads me to think you are not qualified to "seize" this type of assets.

It's 2022, Bitcoin has been working practically non-stop since 2009, and governments and the medias have been claiming that only criminals/terrorists use Bitcoin for almost as long... you would think people in his position would know what private keys are and how to secure Bitcoin funds they pretend to "seize".

It's simple, like all crypto newbies this prosecutor has just learned: Not your keys, not your coins.

This apllies if you have keys and you are not certain you are the only one to have them... anyone else with these keys can/will most likely claim them before you.

I can’t help but think the team photo on the site is staged. It looks like everyone is wearing costumes for a hipster themed costume party.
All the things that I thought I didn't have to learn ... and then I became a home owner.

Calculus is a tool. Wouldn't you rather have more tools than fewer? Because the right tool for the job can turn a real chore into something as easy as pie. If you want to go through life with an empty toolbelt, well, then you'll have to borrow other people's tools (or other people), to do what you could have done for yourself. And that usually isn't cheap.
This was never about Ukraine, any settlement would be met by further escalation when he felt ready. Probably when the west was more fractured, insular, nationalistic and our democratic institutions more fragile.
It doesn't bother me. I have more important stuff to worry about.
This is a straw man:

> what law of economics changed in 1914

Again, you're just ignoring the fact that our most stable period of low inflation was under fiat money. And that wasn't just true here. Central banks with well-managed money supplies brought price stability to many countries.

I understand that goldbuggery is a religion, which like many religion requires ignoring inconvenient facts. You're welcome to keep proselytizing, but if you do, I'll take my leave.
A crypto wallet isn't a bank account though. A bank account has controls on who has access, with an owner to grant and revoke it.

So, because we understand Russia can destroy us in half an hour we talk to them but Putin’s going to use nukes to make us finally understand Russia can destroy us in half an hour? That makes no sense.
A lark is not a fleeting feeling. It’s “a quest for amusement.” This is pretty much the only thing that explains all of the behavior. He was doing it for fun and no one stopped him in time. Partly because, as has been reported, so many in his inner circle thought he wasn’t serious about it.

He entered into an entirely reckless contract because he was riding the high of his Big Joke. Not sure what’s hard to believe about an egomaniacal self-described troll getting himself into a tricky situation. Schoolchildren do it all the time.

Who knows what the deal is with his relationship with counsel but go ahead and read some of their filings to see what a clown show it is. Some of them seem to have been written by Musk himself and making claims that don’t even resemble legal arguments.

My rule of thumb is whether the person being negative can be convinced otherwise. If they can't, then don't spend any energy engaging them. There are some misunderstandings, and some who purposely misunderstand and it's important to tell the difference.
There are enough products and projects available to build a smart home based on just open source code: Home Assistant, ESPHome and WLED for example. And soon you can add Matter to that mix. Product manufacturers could publish their source if they wanted to.

For the Raspi images: the build pipelines are often hosted on GitHub and all the build logs and source is available. If anything, open source projects that are big enough to offer their own OS often receive more scrutiny than most closed source products do.

Yeah I get your feeling. I had it similarly at first, dreading to make changes because I was afraid I'd mess up.

And to be fair, I think ZFS could be better in this regard. Some commands can put your pool into a very sub-optimal state, and ZFS doesn't warn about this when you enter those commands. Heck even the destroy pool command doesn't flinch if by chance nothing is mounted (which it may well be after recovery on a new system).

I found it helped to watch some of the videos from the OpenZFS conferences that explains the history of ZFS and how the architecture works, like the OpenZFS basics[1] one.

But I agree that the documentation[2] could have a lot more introductory material, to help those who aren't familiar with it.

That said, I echo the suggestion to try it out using file vdev's. For larger changes I do spin up a VM just to make sure. For example, it's possible to mess up replacing a disk by adding new disk as a new single vdev rather than replacing the failing one one, so if I feel unsure about it I take 15 minutes in a VM and write down the steps.

Again, this is something I feel they could improve. Adding a single-disk vdev to a mirrored or raid'ed pool should come with a warning requiring confirmation.

On the bright side, I've been running my pool since 2009, and have never lost data despite a few disk failures and countless unexpected power-outages without PSU. And I just run it on consumer hardware without ECC because that's what I got. Been up to 8 disks, now down to 6 and will soon go down to 4 once the new disks arrive. Send/recive ensures the data is just as it ever was on the new configuration.

I wouldn't say full success as I didn't actually get a job, but I got deep into interviews that could have led to very good jobs. The progress vs effort ratio is by far the best of any channel.

The first month had no response, but after fixing my copy and posting soon after the thread opens, I got a lot of good responses.

It's particularly good if you're not in a tech hotspot like Silicon Valley, but want to look for other jobs that might be regionally targeted.
Underground (reinforced concrete) is the only chance to survive, albeit slim. After you lucked out, you'd still need prepared bags of water, long-term rations, radiation monitor, heavy-duty tools to dig out, mask + hazard suit, batteries, Faraday cage for any electronics to survive etc. Sirens are unlikely to help, the government would have to interrupt any broadcasts and tell you about nukes coming.
> The Hue Bridge is not just a Wi-Fi to Zigbee translator. It has never been. It’s also the local intelligence of the system. It coordinates that your switches work well with the lights, it is what makes sure that the network is well managed. Entertainment streams, cloud services, automations, schedules … all that and more is managed by the bridge. Such a small, reliable “edge computer“ in the home is essential. matter does not offer a solution for it. Building all the functionalities directly into lamps would make things much more complicated, and we don’t want to move them to the cloud. That is, even if we used Thread, we would still need a bridge.

Second: Mesh networking with Zigbee in an efficient and reliable way is really hard. We have been working on getting that to work well for a decade. And Thread at scale in the complexity of users homes is not yet proven. I’m a bit afraid of how open Thread will be. There will be many, many companies with many different implementations in the same network. So, I see a lot of risk, and we don’t have plans to build Thread light bulbs. I don’t say never, but we have very much a “wait and see“ approach towards it.

Last not least: We have a very happy and large installed base. A key benefit of Philips Hue is future-proof and always up to date. Many people have made large investments in a Hue system as part of their home infrastructure, not as a gadget. And they expect that these products remain relevant for at least ten years. So far, we have never asked consumers to buy new lights.
I carry a pack of KI in my EDC backpack and a second in my checked luggage. I figure with the amount of travel I do, my odds of having "shit pop off" when I'm traveling are pretty high (rather, the odds of it happening are low (<1%/yr, even this year), but if it is happening, it will most likely happen during travel/away from home). I've got an AirBoss gas mask, bug out bag, firearm, 2 weeks of food, 4 weeks of water cached (or more) in a few client offices around the US.

You will almost certainly die either in the first few minutes, or in the first few weeks following nuclear war, because our society is built on a house of cards of global supply chains, which will all go directly, and irreversibly (at least, within timelines that will matter to your survival) straight to shit.

Some of the architects of the war might survive in their hardened bunkers, if they are out of the way enough. I'm of a mind that they should not be allowed to outlive their constituents, but this does not seem to be a popular opinion.

I appreciate your response, but we will have to continue to disagree on just about everything. From the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2019/04/20/hitler-hat...

"Hitler hated Judaism. But he loathed Christianity, too. Hitler’s mother was a devout Catholic. His father considered religion a scam."

Also: “In Hitler’s eyes Christianity was a religion fit only for slaves,” wrote Alan Bullock “Hitler, A Study in Tyranny,” a seminal biography. “Its teaching, he declared, was a rebellion against the natural law of selection by struggle of the fittest.”

Also: "By 1942, Hitler vowed, according to Bullock, to “root out and destroy the influence of the Christian Churches,” describing them as “the evil that is gnawing our vitals.”"

Hitler may have made public statements about being Christian, but those were probably more along the lines of him putting on a show to convince his fellow countrymen to follow him. He was as anti-Christian as they come, as was his Nazi movement.

We will also have to disagree about the roots of universal human dignity. Here are some readings I might suggest:

https://www.amazon.com/Dominion-Making-Western-Tom-Holland/d...
https://www.amazon.com/Victory-Reason-Christianity-Freedom-C...
https://www.amazon.com/Christian-Activism-Chinese-Societies-...

And here is a good short video with snippets of interviews with the historian Tom Holland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW_XOor7lRI

When I refer to "Western tradition", I am referring to the Judeo-Christian tradition which singularly gave rise to, among other things, the scientific revolution, the enlightenment, and the constitution of the United States, which itself is heavily based on English law.

You should have no trouble with the exceptionalism implied by my statement. We live in the most prosperous and privileged time in recorded human history, and, it's not even a remotely close contest compared to any other time period! It's sad there are so many intent on tearing it down, thinking they'll build something better on top of the ruins, all while failing to truly understand and appreciate what we have and how we got here.
No, he said this:

> “I cheated on random games on Chess.com. I was confronted. I confessed. And this is the single biggest mistake of my life. And I am completely ashamed. I am telling the world because I don’t want misrepresentations and I don’t want rumours. I have never cheated in an over-the-board game. And other than when I was 12 years old I have never cheated in a tournament with prize money.”

This report identifies 3 separate tournaments with prize money in 2020 alone (2 SCC Grand Prix, and the Pro Chess League) that he appears to have cheated in, blatantly contradicting what he previously said.

Is this still technically true? Since the movie was released, both sides developed bunker busters to dig deep into fortified military installations. If salt mines did become part of the continuation strategy, you would think they would be likely to be targeted in an exchange.

Spoken like a marketer / salesperson. I am indeed a developer and run a successful, bootstrapped software business. I agree that you need to initially get the word out that your product exists at all. However, this can be so targeted and the scope so small that I doubt most people would put it in the same category as the advertising practices that many find objectionable.

Once you've got some interest bootstrapped, you CAN in fact rely on unprompted word of mouth for growth. My users and buyers spread the word about my product simply because they find it useful. Many bring it to their new employer when they switch jobs.

So no, I disagree with the blanket position that you have to advertise -- especially in the intrusive fashion that's the subject of the article -- to get people to use your product. (Though I don't dispute that doing so can be a good shortcut.)

But all that is irrelevant to my claim above: my position is simply that a dearth of advertising options is what drives product innovation, by necessity. And hence, limiting advertising is likely to actually be good for consumers.
> are sticky especially on the down side.

I think you meant to say "just on the down side". They were not too sticky when going up for more than a decade.
Rather than a ban, would a very large tax for any ad spend work as a policy? This would seem to both reduce the overall number of ads, and force advertisers to allocate more resources to making better targeted ads that are more profitable per impression. My opposition to ads is not that they have no utility, but rather there is not sufficient compensation for the human attention that they (nearly) freely exploit and waste.
Yup. Here the government is not really maintaining a stockpile as conventionally imagined, but paying industry to rotate inventory through a buffer which is the size of the desired stockpile. Seems like this strategy would have avoided the 'expired PPE' problem we faced at the beginning of the pandemic.
If I'm reading it properly the law does mandate certain USB revisions. For example devices that pull more than 15 watts but less than 100 have to support the 2021 version of IEC 62680-1-2.

> decision-making involved was quite rational if you assume Putin was operating with incomplete information

This is stupid strategy. Military men millennia ago were beyond it. The fog of war is real. One maintains exit ramps. Fully committing at the onset of a war you unilaterally start is blunder, full stop.

Part is the fundamental weakness of dictatorship, a weakness our ancestors addressed with monarchy. (Bush and Nixon could walk away from failed wars their successors wrapped up without fear for their lives. As could Roman consuls.) But a larger part is broad stupidity, concentrated at the Kremlin.
Thanks! Really good feedback. I'll be adding on to this overtime, and this would be a great addition.

Games are the easiest analogy because they describe their features as "rules," but I've seen Rules Engines/Expert Systems reveal themselves organically across multiple domains. Try applying the concept of "Rules" that trigger when data in your system matches a certain pattern.
I feel like they make it pretty clear the design constraints (and thus business constraints) they're operating under. They have a working prototype. I think this project is incredibly risky, especially from a regulatory and safety perspective, but there's nothing in the laws of physics and our current battery understanding preventing this plane from existing.
