Absolutely, as the controlled incrementality study is impossible without either attribution or some group-based approximation of attribution (ie. federated cohorts, etc.)

> I find this fascinating. The exact sequence of his writing process for the song [Eleanor Rigby] is probably irrecoverable now but I’d love to know precisely when he decided on the song’s theme of loneliness, death, and worship, and when the name ‘Eleanor Rigby’ bubbled up into his conscious mind [from a gravestone in a graveyard he and John used to walk through]. It’s almost as if his unconscious mind had been giving him prompts, first ‘Eleanor’, then ‘Rigby’ (hey, check that sign out!), like a stage magician guiding their mark towards a card while creating the illusion of a free choice.

It's not uncommon for writers to put things into their novels even they don't see. Readers and editors note what's there, and the writers can be surprised that it happened.

Sean Coyne talks about this several times on the Story Grid podcast, and it's on display in several of the episodes in which a writer's draft is examined.

Maybe the real story here is how the process of creating art taps into a part of the mind that it keeps hidden from itself, or at least doesn't expose without persuasion.
Why are we all walking around with clown make up on but pretending to one another like we're not. The cat is out of the bag. All of human literature can be stored on something that fits in a bag I can carry. Why are we so adamant to live 100 years in the past?
If being a security guard paid half instead of a tenth what I made as $BIGCO software developer, I’d switch back immediately.
It's worth pointing out that in the origin of the "10x developer" term, it's relative to the worst performing devs, not the average.

Also, you're not guaranteed to have an example 3 standard deviations above the mean. It strongly depends on your distribution and sample size.

Why can't the CLI generate the config if I can see all the accounts and roles in the SSO start page? That's a desperately needed feature.

I would love to see a browser extension for SSO account tabs if AWS can't solve it natively.
I don't know, what's in it for the big banks either? Probably the same thing as what's in it for smaller banks and their vendors? Apparently nothing, or not enough? Unless customers are going to use the feature to choose their bank? Or it saves the bank money from avoiding fraud? Maybe one or the other will be so eventually.

When it is, the vendors/platforms that "junky credit unions" use will add it, same thing as when big banks will add it. A vendor that small banks and credit unions use for their online platform probably has the same order of magnitude of aggregate consumer customers as a big bank has, I don't see why it wouldn't be about as do-able for one of those vendors as a big bank.
I had a similar experience in my teenage years working in Dell factories (back when they still ran them out of Austin/Round Rock). One of the jobs they had me do for a week was to simply unload trucks that came in and put the computers/monitors/whatever onto a conveyor than sent them on their way. It was surprisingly satisfying, not to mention some of the guys I worked with were absolute riots. Kinda miss those days...
You can't get DRM "at the cell level". The batteries are just simple Panasonic 18650s, adding some DRM component to each and every one of them would be cost-inefficient and would also cause a huge problem if the chip fails during warranty.

The controllers are black boxes though, but you can get 3rd party units for Tesla batteries _today_. JerryRigEverything on Youtube built his own EV Hummvee on the military chassis using some Model X batteries and all 3rd party electronics.

It wasn't plug and play, but perfectly doable in a semi-well stocked home garage.
I think the field of advertising successfully whitewashes its own public image as innocent and neutral, "connecting products to interested consumers". It's the same as in politics, religion, finance, insurance, and other kinds of mass fraud and racketeering - hypnotizing people with smoke and mirrors, make belief, a theatrical performance. It's insidious and sneaky how it masquerades as normal, how entire individual lived experiences are spent in manufactured illusion, a system of exploiting human beings through psychological manipulation, and extracting value.
Eh, I think one could say HSAs are also a symptom of these disproportionate effects.

What populations are getting the jobs that provide an HSA?
What population has money left over to put into an HSA?

Have software you’re considering rewriting? Maybe it uses older tech. Maybe users like it but devs don’t want to touch it. Maybe you’re hoping all or some of it can be salvaged. A rewrite can be one of the most expensive and time consuming things your company will ever do. You owe it to yourself to get a second opinion.

I offer an independent, fixed price service where I assess your current solution, engage with your stakeholders, and present you with the best options going forward. This takes place over a 2-4 week period, after which you’ll be in a much better position to proceed. Or not, as the case may be.

Your software will not scare me. It will not affect me emotionally. I do not need specific technologies on my resume, and I do not need your devs to love me. My advice is impartial and based on pragmatic criteria, with your business goals as the number one priority.

So send me an email - tell me why you’re thinking of re-writing, what you hope it will solve, and what you foresee going wrong. I’ll give you an initial 30 minute consultation for free, and we can decide where to go from there.

Sorry for your loss.

"Sudden cardiac death" is more of a description than a diagnosis, so it's hard to say. You may be being intentionally vague for her privacy, which makes sense.

Common causes vary widely, from cardiac dysrhythmia (perhaps due to pregnancy-related cardiomyopathy or an electrolyte imbalance?) or a pulmonary embolism... I'd say the level of "preventability" depends on the etiology.
Yeah, Official debs/rpms are a thing but often completely independent of any distribution's packaging efforts (and they often have very different priorities).
The writing's cadence feels similar to Serial's narration, and that style has been getting a lot of use in the podcasting world lately.
There are global quotas per account that can sneak up on you if you have too many services running in the same account albeit in different regions. DynamoDB total read and write capacity comes to mind.
I feel like the real outrage here should be for developers who already pay a fee for the privilege of being Apple developers, give up 30% of their revenue for the privilege of being inconsistently judged by app review, and now need to fork over extra money just to have their exact app name appear when searched.

It’s insulting to the dev community who drove the success of the app store and arguably iOS in general. No amount of “we love our devs” PR can reconcile this.
I got deep into homebrewing beer for a while for this reason. It was extremely satisfying to make something tangible and physically taxing after spending all week tapping on a keyboard. Not to say that software isn't "real", but having a physical thing you can show off and share and enjoy hits differently.

Unfortunately having dozens of gallons of good beer on hand at all times led to some pretty bad habits so I had to get out of that game (plus I had kids, so RIP to both hobby time and frequent drinking). Still looking for the next hobby that really clicks with me, the intersection of science and creativity and engineering and socializing that is brewing was pretty perfect.

It actually wasn't that particular line that made me think they were selling personal information, it was mostly the other three points in that list which you seem to be ignoring:

* Each of Onfido’s and/or Provider’s third-party vendors may have access to the facial scan data

* Onfido is in no way linked to or responsible for the practices of other Providers. Onfido encourages you to read Company’s privacy policies and terms and conditions, as well as those of other Providers, which may apply to the use of facial scan data extracted from photos and videos.

* Onfido may disclose your personal information... or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary... to protect your vital interests or those of any other person
Definitely. The question is how much heavy metal there is.

There's already a fair bit in our water.
I think what contributes to this ability is already knowing a number of songs, and being able to remember them as "systems" rather than individual notes and words.

Similarly, it is easier for someone who plays often to remember a chess game.

This kind of thing also applies to the oft-repeated "infant mortality" metric. Where other countries don't count premature births or count birth within a certain period as stillbirths instead of infant mortality.

It was an unpopular opinion at the time and probably still is, but I couldn't help but feel like IA was trying to push something by placing itself in danger during a crisis.

"Now that you need us more than ever, we're going to step in front of a train. Someone better stop it." Something like that. They had to know they were courting trouble, so we have to ask why they did it anyway.
I don't know, I tried to use micropython on some esp32 board and ran out of ram after the first few tests.

> My current solution is to share my ~/aws/config with everyone so we all have the same profile names and scripts can work for everyone.

If you're on Mac/Linux you could have everyone use direnv. Add a .envrc file in each git repo (or your script's subdirectory) with `export AWS_PROFILE=profilename`. Now everyone is working with the same profile names without having to pass around config files.
You can have targeted ads without user tracking. E.g. you can show job openings on a website where hackers meet.

User tracking is absolutely despicable and must be killed.
It suggests that science is an artifact of attention. That bears study. Maybe get a nice paper out of it.

I've never really understood the fascination with celebrity, and I wonder if this weakens the value of celebrity.

Why is the face of Bruce Willis pasted onto a different actor more valuable than the face of the actor who has been erased?

If we follow this trend 40 years into the future, will actors still be made to look like Bruce Willis because he had success in the late 1900s and then became the face everyone knew as an actor?
Methane is not toxic, in fact it’s frustratingly inert. Leading to long atmospheric residence time in decades. Unless you meant to type toxic methanol, which is true, but it’s not that toxic. Just don’t drink the wood alcohol, okay?

I think the plan is to produce methane from hydrogen on Mars for the return trip on Starship. Kind of a niche case, though.
Amazon AWS Athena | Senior Backend Software Engineer | Redmond / Seattle, WA or US Remote | Full-time | Visa Sponsorship Available

Amazon Athena is an analytics service that makes it easy to get insights from Amazon S3-based data lakes, using open standards including SQL Parquet, Apache Iceberg, and others. Athena is serverless, so there is no infrastructure to set up or manage as the service automatically scales for arbitrary large datasets and complex queries. Creating a simple, rich, and performant customer experience requires solving challenging engineering problems.

We are working on our own container and scale-out infrastructure (forecasting, scheduling, containers, admission control, infrastructure deployment) and making significant contributions and improvements to the Presto/Trino Open Source engine to add more capabilities (updates, secondary indices, materialized views, better scripting support). At the same time, we are improving its performance and reliability (memory management, micro-optimizations, CBO, and vectorization).

Yeah I'm always impressed when someone is like, the dance is like this and this and this and then it seems the whole room got it except me. But for most of my life (as I'm aging I'm losing it somewhat) I pretty much only had to read something once to remember it forever. Never understood the process of "studying".

Lebron James has been remarked upon for his ability to remember practically any play of any game he's ever been in (and many that he hasn't) in precise detail. And actress Marilu Henner can basically remember every detail of her entire life, a condition called hyperthermesia. I think superior memory is an underestimated driver of successful people.
It's not lazy. If I go for a walk I'm actively thinking about projects. I have solved many problem by just clearing my mind and taking breaks.

Building software should not be paid by the hour. It's a weird thing.

If I can build a piece of software in 10 hours, and another dev needs 40 hours....it seems kind of odd to pay the slower less resourceful dev MORE for a slower delivery?
Is that a broken link or is my browser broken? That opens to an empty Hacker News page for me.
There's also the part where "developer" is more akin to "athlete" than "nba player". There's lots of different types of developer, just like there's lots of different types of athlete. A 10x NBA player will certainly not be a 10x Olympic Swimmer also, more likely .1X. Part of the problem is 10x developer gets talked about like they are going to be 10x athlete at NBA and Swimming and Golf and, and, and... that's what doesn't exist.

> This puts the game publisher and the console manufacturer on the same team in ensuring that sales are protected, and as such decisions are made to tightly control what software can run on these otherwise incredibly powerful, compact machines.

There were consoles, for example the original Xbox, that while inferior to the counterpart had success only because the modding community and homebrew software that you could have used on them. To the console manufacturer opening up (like how Microsoft is slowly doing) to homebrew software is in the end a good thing, not a bad one.
Once had a field job where I did nothing about it after I left. And then I had a new job where I was working at a desk and still continued to work after I went home. The latter job I aged considerably. While in the former, I was in the best health. But man, there were some days that I had to fight to get up in the morning after tiring myself the previous day. Little did I know it was keeping me young.

Routines are important. Even if artificial.

This is what the Stocks app on MacOS looks like if you scroll down for the smallest time - https://i.imgur.com/1j7ykDw.png

So Stocks app in MacOS, no stocks when you open it, but the news and ads is what you see.

I do hope we don't see ads in the Weather app at some point, that would be a shame.

Edit - I was curious, if you select APPL on the side and scroll a little, you get ads too, so they're on all side tabs - https://i.imgur.com/2X3Et0l.png
That a good distinction. Thanks.

New home owners would not have the app previously installed, so it would still suck for them.

Ah, we seem to have differing views of what is a "charging station".

You're thinking of the fridge-sized units with the wrist thick black CCS cable. Yes, those need very specific grid hookups.

I'm thinking of, you know, a household plug. The kind an American would plug in their dryer to. You don't need a separate substation to run a dryer, right? Even if an apartment building has 20 of them.

One of those can charge 100-150km of range to a car overnight easily, which is more than the average person drives every day. YMMV.
In all fairness, a forum thread would collect a bunch of anecdata but is not an official way to request a sale.

If the Raspberri Pi foundation doesn't want to sell you their product, there's no way you can force them to sell you one. That there are no blog posts probably just means that some exec from Broadcom told Eben not to post anything.

Or builders.

You can spend $4000 to get an 80% furnace (i.e. 20% of energy burned is wasted), or $4200 to get a 95% effecient furnace (5% of energy burned is wasted). As a homeowner, its a nobrainer as the second one pays for itself in a few months. As a builder - The house sells for the exact same price, so you put in the crappy one and pocket another $200.

Multiply by similar decisions of many things (windows, heat pumps, insulation), and millions of homes, and it's a pretty huge difference.

The worst of poverty tourism is when it is done impersonally without recognition of the inescapable circumstances of others. Do see how real people live and work, connect with them to their faces. Recount your difficult escape from a low-income origin.
