I'm facing the opposite challenge right now. I've recently joined in as the CTO of a small company and the team is in love with Scrum. They love it and they love Jira as well. Sometimes it seems that they spend more time using Jira than using their IDEs.

This wouldn't be so much of a problem, but the team is SLOW. Every little feature and adjustment drags for many 2-weeks sprints. Every task gets broken down to its atoms.

And what's tiresome to me is that, whenever I try to reduce the overhead and get them more time to do useful work, they push back strongly and they start to pile up minor nitpicks and corner cases of what might go wrong in the future if we do change.

I'd love to get some ideas on how to improve things without straining the relationship with top-down maneuvers.
The reason the collateral needs to be deposited with a smart contract is because the collateral assets are unseizable. But that defeats the purpose...

Imagine you want to make purchase, but you don't have the funds. You have two options. Option A, you save money first, until you have enough funds. Option B, you borrow money, and save later (while you repay the loan). In economics, option A is called "saving" while option B is called "financing".

Collateral isn't strictly necessary, but it's useful because it reduces credit risk and therefore lowers the cost of borrowing funds (i.e. the interest rate that the borrower is charged). However, notice that if the collateral is equal or exceeds in value the amount borrowed and it is deposited with the lender until the loan is paid off, this is no longer option B, this is option A. This is not financing.

Financing requires that the collateral (if any) is not deposited with the lender until the loan is paid off, or that, if it is, it doesn't cover the whole of the borrowed amount. For financing to work, you need legal procedures that enable the lender to seize the borrower's assets in the event of default. You can't do that with smart contracts, because smart contracts can't seize assets that are in somebody else's wallet. You can do other things for sure, but not financing.
Please re-read the hypothetical - there is no second bank; it involves giving cash to a fraudster.
I also still have one of theese. I added more ram and ssd is comming. It's still a great device for Music, Photos, the Web. I did use it for video-conferencing, because the webcam can still hold up.

Or just uidrange based policy for a separate routing table that just routes to the VPN. Just one thing to set up.
I would say even easier on prem as you don't need to wade 15 layers deep to do anything. Since I have moved to hosting my own stuff at my house, I have learned that connecting a monitor and keyboard to a 'sever' is awesome for productivity. I know where everything is, its fast as hell, and everything is locked down. Monitoring temps, adjusting and configuring hardware is just better in every imaginable way. Need more RAM, Storage, Compute? Slap those puppies in there and send it.

For home gamers like myself, it's has become a no brainer with advances in tunneling, docker, and cheap prices on Ebay.
Do you have experience running Haiku and if so what's the current hardware story like? IOW, could a reasonably determined person get it running as a daily driver on a modern laptop?
Sorry I forgot to mention the insurance part and I can no longer edit my post.

When I looked at the insurance and took a picture the policy dates were valid.

When I attempted to call the insurance company the policy was started then canceled due to lack of payment so he probably only made the first payment.

Lesson learned is to call to verify on the spot. Never thought of it. The police just look at my slip of paper from the glovebox.
The problem with this, is the technology evolves far quicker than our laws do. The ADA law is a glaring example of this, unfortunately.
> It's very common to log when a button is clicked. Which means we can already reconstruct a user's session because we know what coordinates buttons have. We might miss out on the random movements and such, but that might not be a big deal if we also log the timestamp when a button was clicked.

The point I was making above was that there's a difference between purely client-side events like mouse movements and keystrokes and server-side events like button clicks and page requests. This may be a trivial difference for most websites, but I have an expectation of privacy around client-side events. Collecting them without the user's consent violates that regardless of the technical mechanism of implementation of that collection.

> Your car collects huge amounts of data about your driving habits. A Tesla, for example, might auto-report that data, but your "dumb" car also provides that data to an ODBII reader. In fact, that was the premise for those Progressive (I think) Car Insurance things they wanted you to plug into your car to "prove" you were a safe driver.

Right, and the difference is that the data provided through the OBD port requires me to physically plug something in and upload it elsewhere. I have control over that data. This is different from these websites that are collecting data like my mouse movements and immediately sending it off without notification or consent.

I prefer NCUA insured credit unions. Banks have been historically bad in so many ways to me personally as a young person just starting out in life. I am sure there are many that hit the famous $25.00 service fee that magically gets charged the day your account goes to $30.00, causing subsequent charges to hit your "overdraft protection" that allows the bank to penalize you $25 for every transaction that drops you below a zero balance for that day. You now owe hundreds of dollars.

I also had a horrible experience with Citizens Bank, of which they allowed $5000 to be fraudulently withdrawn from my account in two days. The second $5000 was withdrawn after I was told it shouldn't happen again. That day I learned an ACH hold request is just that. A request that takes 3 days. I should have been smart enough to know that the support agent really meant for me to drop everything and immediately get to a physical branch where they could put an all hold on my accounts instantly, because I cannot do that over the phone.

I don't mean to say credit unions are always better, but I will say, I have been getting 2% interest earnings on my savings and 1.05% on my checking account. Most banks typically give you only a percentage of a percentage point in interest for either...
I'm almost taken aback at how quick that loaded. It reminds me of finally upgrading from dialup.

The modern web experience really is subpar.
I'm not sure what state you're in, but when something similar happened to a friend I found that Connecticut has a Home Improvement Guaranty Fund (https://portal.ct.gov/DCP/Common-Elements/Consumer-Facts-and...) which exists to satisfy an unpaid judgment for up to $25,000. I don't know about most states, but I know at least Maryland has a similar fund.

I'd recommend checking to see if your state has a similar program.
I agree in principle, but there are exceptions to that rule. Lonesome Dove, the example he uses in that article, is one of those exceptions. He clearly hadn't read the book before writing the piece, and now I'm waiting for a retraction along the lines of "I was so wrong, I wish there was twice as much of this amazing book."

But yeah, in general, I think most books could be shorter and still be as effective, often moreso.

This is exactly what they are doing. It will be disableable in grub, too, if you want to prevent the firmware from being used entirely.

This NN breakthrough in language is only about 2 years old now [0].

People are working on your symbolic logic hybrid approach, but not much interesting has happened yet. This is a bit expected, since the short amount of time, and the fast scaling these language models have done in those last two years. It's been hard to outscale them with any other approach, let alone by the particular one of symbolic logic.

I think the main discripancy with particle physics, is that every iteration of bigger language models are also significantly better, no diminishing returns in sight.

Better for concrete applications as well. There is therefore no need to claim these models are scaled for scientific reasons in the search of AI, the accountants are happy as it is.

If you want to see the mother of all Wikipedia cabals, take a look at the Eastern European mailing list, which was exposed more than 10 years ago.

It was a group of editors who conspired to game Wikipedia's rules (for example, "thou shalt not revert more than three times per day" can be circumvented by calling in a friend to revert for you). What makes the story really crazy is that they were exposed by Wikileaks, which published a giant stack of email threads between the conspirators.

This is a run-down of some of the things the most powerful member of the group, an administrator, said: https://wikileaks.org/wiki/Wikipediametric_mailinglist/Piotr....
I’m really not sure honestly. I think there is something to be said about having the real thing, but I’m not really convinced in the physical hardware over emulation debate. I get the same enjoyment in emulated SNES games as I did as a child on a real SNES for example.

In this case? I enjoyed saving the Mac, fixing it, making a few minor upgrades along the way. Apple hardware and software integrates so well together and I think there’s a lot of reason to have the whole package. That said when using it I’m looking primarily at the screen alone.

I think it’s really subjective and depends on the person ultimately.

The reason for this is navigation boxes that are shared between articles via templates. When you have a navigation box linking to several articles within a topic, and you are on article 3, then it will render as

[[Article 1]] - [[Article 2]] - **Article 3** - [[Article 4]]

where [[words]] are links and *words* are just bold text. This allows the reader to identify their current position within the topic without requiring extra templating magic.

Arguing about the relative strengths of Wikipedia versus Brittanica highlights the core issue that very few things are irrefutable fact that can be proven and expressed concisely with natural language, and that most things are beliefs, and interpretations of biased or limited observations.

Both sources are "mostly accurate", it's just that some teachers think that using the internet for research is too easy; "carrying books back and forth across the library builds character".
Something that helped me a while back was, I spoke to some of my friends who I remember interacting with on my email, and had them go through their email to see if there were any emails that I had sent them and they sent me.

So maybe that might be a way in ?
I don't know why they wouldn't hear it. It seems like a fairly straightforward reading of the Constitution to me.

Turns out that Justice Jackson was wrong. The Constitution is a suicide pact.
I remember when CD-Rs were the savior of all our storage problems, and I weighed in heavily. They were easy to burn and very durable. BUT, just like VCR tapes were doomed because of the ease of coping video, CD's were doomed because of music and video coping. All media types are at the mercy of corporations with their own agendas. Just look a DVDs, Blu-Ray, they told us, would be better and longer lasting as far as use goes. But, really, who buys BR movies anymore?

I love and use all USB drive devises now, and SSD and HDD. But how long before the corps determine it's no longer good for them?

A quick look at the network tab in the dev tools: the page is less than 10 KB (fits in TCP fast start window), little external resources (10 in total: 1 HTML, 1 CSS, 4 fonts, 2 images and 2 JS files), tiny amount of JS code which doesn't add extra requests, all served by Google's CDN which probably has a mirror geographically close to you.
I don't but I do use, and am interested in, their software. So it's a bit disappointing to see a link to their site while using hn on mobile, only to get to a page that doesn't display anything useful.
As fun general rules of thumb:

Hard 8 character limits are often a side-effect of old COBOL "databases" in the backend somewhere.

Hard 16 character limits are sometimes a side-effect of old versions of Active Directory in the backend somewhere or new versions of Active Directory in certain backward compatibility operation modes/certain group policies.

Hard character limits in general are often a sign that someone is storing the plaintext somewhere they shouldn't be.

(Soft character limits today are mostly to avoid possible hash function DDoS.)
My understanding is that in those nations, non-shareholders have board representation, not voting control. I.e. they have people on the board to hear what's discussed and give them a voice in deliberations, but no actual control. Is my understanding incorrect?

> Of course, there are plenty of worthwhile cultural expressions online

this is true, but none of those are getting tens of billions of views. What spreads the farthest and the fastest are memes and quick hits of dopamine and rage. Those are what comprise our most shared experiences today. I think we'd agree that it's better to not be limited to only those things that have been curated for us by broadcasters and media conglomerates, but between our natural tendency to seek and spread low effort content and the curation of algorithmic gatekeepers optimizing to exploit that tendency our most seen and shared media typically ends up being far more shallow than it used to be.

I talked to my supervisor because we're supposed to be doing Scrum but we're not doing the most important parts, namely sprint planning or retros. It's amazing to witness, coming from a team that did Scrum perfectly and functioned like clockwork.
It is true that HNSW outperforms LSH on recall and throughput, but for some use cases LSH outperforms HNSW. I just deployed this week to prod a new system for short text streaming clustering using LSH. I used algorithms from this crate that I also built
https://github.com/serega/gaoya

HNSW index is slow to construct, so it is best suited for search or recommendation engines where you build the index and serve. For workloads where you continuously mutate the index, like streaming clustering/deduplication LSH outperforms HNSW.
Websites are absolutely someone's intellectual property. Just because I've watched a Disney movie on my phone doesn't mean I'm allowed to download Disney movies from Disney+ and start my own competing service.
Thanks for the tip, though this just works for a paid Google Workspace email plan (or a free Google Workspace for Nonprofits plan) [1]. We couldn't do this because we were using free personal Gmail accounts at the time (by transferring the credentials from retired executives to new executives) as we lacked budget and formal non-profit registration (to be eligible for the Nonprofits plan) since the group was fairly small and undergraduate student-run.

The difficulties were to be expected as personal Gmails weren't meant to be used like this (the goal was just to share an anecdote about the difficulties of phone numbers used for two-factor authentication with the free service even once a year). The long-term solution we used was to pay for a reliable but low-cost (in comparison to Outlook and Google) email host initially recommended on HN and a few sysadmin forums, to gain access to organization-wide admin features.

FWIW, I have a mostly isolated network of Reolink cameras.

Initially it was completely locked down, but I discovered the cameras eventually refuse connections after their RTC drifts too much. I could not get them to use my router for NTP because they preferred pool.ntp.org. I had to open up that port as well as allow them to make DNS lookups on my router.

They have been working fine with that minimal amount of internet access, but curiously, the firewall logs show frequent blocked connections to Reolink IPs on port 9999.

If you have Reolink cameras, your network is open, and you're worried about data exfiltration, then 9999 is one port you may want to block.
For the first example the snippet isn't correct, it just says `conda list`. The website (TutorialPoint) it links to is also wrong and useless.

The point is, their attorneys cost a lot of money to actually go litigate. They will have to bring in outside council, and hire a team that actually litigates, not just advises.

It comes down to gut-wrenching, but basic math. It will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to litigate, and the outcome is uncertain.

Writing a check for half that amount and settle this in a few months is far more desirable. Particularly for something so easy for PJ's to just remove from their site and shrug off. It's not core to their business or anything... they're not defending the right to put pepperoni on pizzas...

> Papa John had had over 40 lawsuits in the last 30 days

You mean there have been 40 complaints filed against them in 30 days. That's not surprising at all. How many of these go to court? Probably near zero... it's just the reality of lawsuits...
I have long wondered... How was it possible to construct this? Is it just extreme self-discipline, omitting everything not strictly essential? Or is there an underlying formalism that makes a very small amount of code do a very great deal?

It seems like the only way is for most of the code in the system to contribute to a multitude of different uses... Maybe an interpreter with especially powerful, composable operations and a very compact representation, and most of the system coded to that interpreter? (That got Apollo 11 from orbit to the moon and back.)
The beauty of threading vs multiprocessing is shared memory. Threading is thusly much easier.

The worst part of this whole GIL issue is that you are successfully using threading for the longest time and then suddenly you have performance problems in your threads and it doesn't seem to be clear as to why. Eventually you find out about this problem.

Going to other languages for help to avoid the GIL doesn't seem like a solution to me.

The solution to me is to bite the bullet and immediately go to multiprocessing. Avoid threading altogether.
Are you not familiar with the hype that it'd become the end-all-be-all repository of human knowledge? It's been talked about that way since at least the 90s. It's not uncommon to see people on this site post sentiments that it has achieved that—in some fields, kinda, in many others you can barely scratch the surface before you have to hit a library (probably a university library, and you may need ILL) to keep going, or if you're very lucky the book you need exists in digital form and you can buy or pirate a copy, but the "open Web" simply does not have the info you want, and even if it does have it, it's a crap-shoot whether it's presented and organized at least as well as some print version you could get instead.
