Gibbard's theorem implies "strategy" in a sense (your optimal strategy depends on distribution of other people's votes) which is much less nefarious than many people's intuition on what "strategic voting" implies.

When people think about strategic voting coming from a FPTP context, the strategy they're thinking of is putting in a dishonest vote for a non-preferred candidate because that provides a better chance at matching their preferences than an honest vote. This is not what Gibbard's theorem is about. Strategic voting in cardinal systems, for example, tends to look basically like dynamic range compression and at an individual level generally only "tiebreaks" between candidates that were otherwise fairly evenly matched, while the FPTP strategy of bullet voting a non-preferred candidate is just straight up bad for your preferences.
"Worker" is not exactly a pejorative term. In some circles it would even be considered a mark of pride. Although "human resource" is ironically dehumanizing.
This point is actually addressed in the introduction of the study.

> These checks notwithstanding, an obvious concern with our estimates is the endogeneity of the
decision to appoint a business manager—perhaps firms turn to business managers when they need to
cut labor costs. To bolster the argument that our results capture causal effects of business managers
on wages and the labor share, we use two strategies. First, we obtain very similar estimates when we
focus on manager retirements and deaths, which are arguably less endogenous than other switches from
non-business to business managers. Second, we develop an instrumental variable (IV) strategy (...)
What‘s your speciality in programming?

Keeping all your software, and that includes the OS, up to date, is one of the most important aspects of personal security.
All that is true, except that it's harder to file for citizenship now. Just to clarify, you can't be deported for not paying taxes.
Not faced that problem here in Berlin, neither in the the place I'm renting long term now nor in the series of AirBnBs I was in back in 2017 while starting to look for a place.

Whatever Germany is doing, copy it.
ARM Thumb-2 has a higher code density than RISC-V(RV32IMAC req. ~18% more text)
Intel is also reverting back to CEOs with technical backgrounds because having CEOs with non-technical backgrounds led to them getting overtaken by several competitors such as AMD who they had lapped several times over.
The key part is the assumption that in between step 1 and step 2 that productivity and everything related to it remains stable. This is almost certainly never true.
Encryption isn't mentioned once in the whole Activity Pub spec.

Encryption at rest isn't good enough. E2E should be the default on federated protocols with breakouts for public content only needing to be signed.
There are lots of methods (e.g. LU) that are used millions of times a day, but don't have good error bounds. Most matrix algorithms used in practice have something resembling a proof of error bounds that everyone ignores because they don't do a good job of describing the error that you actually get when you use the methods.
There is a much better lesson to take from practice theory, and that's the skill curve. You might see it and think "oh it takes 10,000 hours to become a master". But it only takes 10 hours of practice to become better at something than literally almost everyone at any task. And in 100 hours of practice you would be considered a worthy peer in almost any community. 1000 hours will make you a respected professional in any trade.

You can apply it to any life skill. You could learn a new musical instrument every 6 months, you could be a plumber, a carpenter, an electrician. You could make learn a new way of fabricating things. Any sport, any dance. I applied it as a programmer, dabbling in compilers, operating systems, machine learning systems, web systems, games, various languages and paradigms. Now as the CTO in a small company my "expertise" in all of these fields makes me able to talk along with every team, no matter what they're working on.

You could be good enough in anything to impress a friend by practicing anything for 3 months. Not saying it's easy, real practice hurts your brain, not every day job leaves you with enough brain juice at the end of the day. But maybe you could practice in the morning.

When I was in college I had been playing guitar on and off for maybe 10 years. I didn't like practicing much and was mostly just playing the same bits and riffs for fun. There was a youtube hype around a guy called Andy McKee who played technically challenging pieces with a really cool vibe. I didn't even attempt it, considering it above my skill level. My housemate who hadn't touched a guitar in all his life, bought a $30 guitar and practiced for 3 months. By the end he could play the full song good enough for it to actually sound good and impress basically anyone. I'm pretty sure he could make some money playing on a street corner just playing that 1 song over and over again.

edit: the bootcamp I used to teach at trains junior developers from scratch in about 500 hours. If you pair them with a good mentor, employing them for about 500 hours more, and you'll have perfectly good software developers capable of maintaining and extending any existing product you have in your portfolio.

I did go for the jugular a bit :-)

I know a fair few people who were really big Flickr fans back in the day and they lament at how the service has changed, and how its soul was diminished, because of the interests of those who now control it. You're right that it is still a going concern.
That seems like a problem of going to giant scales. Here in Germany the norm for condos or apartments is 2-5 stories with 1-6 apartments per story. That gives you 2-30 units per building, and at that scale a couple of weekly emptied trash bins on the ground floor or in the parking garage do their job.

This is also a scale where construction and maintenance is straightforward, and where the building makes sense in a walkable neighborhood (as opposed to taking 5 minutes to even leave the building).
It's kinda sad how the banner of skepticism has been co-opted and sort of turned into some sort of dogmatic scientism. We really need some pyrrho in our lives these times.
If you mean a stumble in the sense that I'm not truly aware of the implications of what I'm proposing, that's not really the case. I personally believe we could be yet more ambitious than what I am describing here, but I realize that most people aren't going to be on board. So the next best thing is to propose a different framework of looking at the problem and a different methodology for looking for solutions. A dedicated device would be incremental, yes, but what matters is that if we unlock the capacity to think towards this sort of innovation the big changes will follow naturally.
Ugh yeah that was punctuation hell, updated

Almost certainly the inspiration for this submission. Definitely worth a listen, a lot of points in these comments that were addressed in the episode
> Mathematically, this is equivalent to a small UBI.

Or vice versa. UBI requires lots of people to implement it. A simpler income tax rate doesn't.

What's nice about it is you could basically just get paid post-tax from every income source, and they all know to subtract 10%, and the government would just need a simple web portal for you to claim back your first 25k.
Oh man, we do something similar and I highly recommend. Our markdown is added as a Netlify article which is built with Astro and statically generated- from pulling down on datanarratives it seems like either a prerender or an SSR.

One other helpful thing we've found from Notion is the Kanban view of the database which allows us to move content through various swim lanes; "Approved", "Revision #1", "Published" etc.
> You mean the smallest feature size.

That is the word I am looking for.

> That used to be the case until Samsung start playing around with the number a little bit more for marketing, and the whole market force TSMC to follow, and after a few cycles we left with nothing but a name with numbers.

Huh I didn't know that, does anyone publish min feature sizes for modern process nodes?.
Ask HN: Why is HashiCorp sticking to MPLv2?
As opposed to [A]GPLv3 for example? Also, what are the bigger downsides for Hashicorp using MPLv2?
Twitter plus WhatsApp I guess.
The IRS and law enforcement will have a field day with this. They can match up transactions to the blockchain to unmask owners.
The active userbase was not affected very much. (Note that some channels moved to OFTC, not Libera.) The lurker userbase was more than decimated – I think it about halved – but they were barely part of the communities, and there might not even have been anyone sitting behind the IRC clients.

If you have ADD the "only add immediate NEXT item to project" guideline in GTD is a lifesaver because it:

- prevents procrastination by planning

- gives you an easy task to just get started
This should part of a plan for online organizational continuity. Any community that uses big tech’s services should probably have one.
Google is a multi-billion dollar company, they barely have to lift a finger. They simply have to provide an option to opt out of 2FA. Add a bunch of warnings if you must. Even if Google was a small startup it would be trivial for them to do this.
No the device auth prompts are completely independent of mobile number, you don't even need a Sim card.

Giving homeless people a secure and convenient place to stash documents would be a great outcome. Birth certificate, military discharge papers, licences, 2FA codes. Many homeless people live in cars and have all this stashed somewhere in the car, but then the car gets stolen/towed (e.g. because they haven't paid car registration) and then they're sleeping rough, without docs.
Here's Gladwell himself:

There is a lot of confusion about the 10,000 rule that I talk about in Outliers. Practice isn't a SUFFICIENT condition for success. I could play chess for 100 years and I'll never be a grandmaster. The point is simply that natural ability requires a huge investment of time in order to be made manifest. Unfortunately, sometimes complex ideas get oversimplified in translation.

I don't get why people love to hate on him so much. He was just popularizing the idea that talent takes effort and is not predominantly innate. ( But I do agree the Beatles example is BS and contrary to the DP principles )
Crypto really is a golden age of opportunity for hackers. When else in history could you rob a bank anonymously from your mom's basement for $570M. Cashing it out without getting caught is a little on the tricky side, but not impossible, especially if you live in, or cash it out in an untouchable jurisdiction like Russia.
Are you sincerely calling the War on Drugs sincerely motivated?

So you admit there is broad systemic racism, but insist it had absolutely no effect on the motivations of the people who started and supported the War on Drugs, and that it's unfair to call Nixon and Reagan racist, huh?

Then address my response to rayiner above, quoting their very own words recorded on tape, and John Ehrlichman's admission. And don't lie through your teeth.

Having a show become a massive TV event (like MASH) is nice for solidarity but it comes at a price of having a centralized channel(s) of opinions, messages and agenda. It's a double edged sword but eventually, in my opinion, having a variety of messages available is better than traditional centralized TV. And massive TV events can still happen for something like the next moon landing or sports.

The problem isn't with selecting your content, but with the reduced (to none existing) exposure to other content that might challenge your views. We owe it to ourselves to honestly test our beliefs and worldview, see if they hold up, and adjust accordingly. Today it's far too easy to avoid doing this while staying on feeds that reinforce whatever it is you believe in, never challenging you, and becoming radicalized.
I'm not sure the group that thinks an MBA is worthless for a CEO is as large as the group that thinks an MBA is worthless for anyone but a CEO.
As a student can someone suggest some good projects using eBPF?
Back when second life was a thing one of the main components was creation. There were editing tools built right in to the project.

Tools like tilt brush have made it easier than ever to create 3D content.

So why is facebook's premier MMO completely devoid of any content creation tools? Why are there no games for any of these platforms with embedded scripting? Why are all these games so focused on passive consumption?
That’s only a limited subset of the mistakes, and the article is linking to the correct source on archive.org.
Do you know how much it costs to hire a single developer? You need a team of recruiters and waste countless employee-hours on interviews. Retention is a big deal. You can probably provide a real monetary value to retention.
Sun tried to get other companies to implement SPARC. You could get a license for (I think) $99 back in the late 1990s. SPARC does have peculiarities like register windows that may make it harder to implement.

Now that Oracle owns it, it's probably unpalatable.
I would assume they'll try and push as much value into a currency that's meant to be untraceable (such as Monero or Zcash), move the money around a few wallets for safety, then start drip feeding to exchanges and claiming they got into the currency early by mining and are cashing out.

At least if I was going to risk a heist like this it's roughly what I would do.
I always liked this thought experiment, as outlined by Alan Watts:

> Let's suppose you were able, every night, to dream any dream you wanted to dream, and that you could, for example, have the power to dream in one night 75 years' worth of time.

> Or any length of time you wanted to have.

> And you would, naturally, as you began on this adventure of dreams, fulfill all your wishes.

> You would have every kind of pleasure you could conceive.

> And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each, you would say

> 'Well, that was pretty great. But now let's have a surprise.

> Let's have a dream which isn't under control, where something is going to happen to me that I don't know what it's going to be.'

> And you would dig that, and come out of it and say 'That was a close shave, now wasn't it?'

> Then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you
would dream, and finally, you would dream where you are now.

> You would dream of the life that you are actually living in today.

> That would be within the infinite multiplicity of the choices you would have.

> Of playing that you weren't God. Because the whole nature of the godhead, according to this idea, is to play that he's not.

> The first thing that he says to himself is 'Man, get lost,' because he gives himself away.

> The nature of love is self-abandonment, not clinging to oneself.

> Throwing yourself out, for instance as in basketball; you're always getting rid of the ball.

> You say to the other fellow 'Have a ball.' See? And that keeps things moving. That's the nature of life.
I look at all of the interests and discussions and shitposts that are on my home and local feeds, watch the interactions between mutuals and people argue, learn, laugh and join in shared hobbies and simply cannot fathom how this can be "failed". All this and if I turned off my anti-virus I wouldn't see any adverts and am never subjected to abusive interests or dark patterns. How is this failure? It's what I want from the Internet. It's real, actual people.
Regarding social skills, I feel like I can relate to how you describe your situation. I was extremely socially anxious when I was younger and basically avoided any social interactions I could. Throughout highschool and college I never had any friends to speak of or dated. I mostly shut myself away with video games and other solitary interests.

I moved to a new city away from my family when I was 27 and that was when I finally pushed myself to start changing things as the loneliness really hit me. I started going to meetup events and work lunches with people. I started reading up on social skills and trying my hand at dating. Roughly 5 years since then I've actually done pretty well for myself, made some good friends, had some good experiences with dating, and I'm rather happy with how things have shaped out. I'm still kind of awkward socially but gotten more comfortable with putting myself out there anyway and found that a lot of people don't really mind.
It depends what you want from a home. I'd prefer a house than my current apartment, but a different set of preferences makes apartments perfect (and more people in apartments necessarily make it easier to supply houses for those of us who prefer houses).
why would I choose it over TiKV or RIAK ?
Ages ago I compiled a list of beneficial to society knowledge. From memory so more of a pamphlet than on a hard drive:

How wings/flight works; how to design a simple airfoil.

Germ theory, penicillin. Microscope looking for crazy hands on long stalks. Lenses are molten glass in a mold.

Vaccines are created by producing lots of a bad thing and then heating it up to the point it dies. deactivated virus.

Heat milk to just below a boil. Never let it boil. Milk does absorb significant amounts of heat before boiling. Pasteurization.

Insulin comes from pigs and dog pancreas.

electricity = magnet + water wheel. magnets come from heated iron. next to coiled wire.

magnet -> compass

electricity + tungsten = lightbulb.

gears, glasses, thermometers, scissors, saws, utensils, language books, screwless construction techniques.
First, a run off between A and C wouldn't have C with 60%. C would have 54%, the 6% of C voters would have to come from CBA. And if A is in the runoff, that 6% stays with A.

These are post facto strategies though. You can only implement that strategy if you can guarantee all of that information. Which you can only do after the election.

The first problem is that polling is an estimate. If you are wrong by a couple of percentage points, the strategy fails. If the results come back 16 (BAC), 16 (BCA), 23 (ABC), 39 (CBA), 6 (ACB), B now has 32 first votes and A only has 29.

Next is getting the right number of people to comply. You could easily just mess it up and have either not enough or too many people cast the strategic ballot. If only 4% or less vote ACB, the plan doesn't work. If 11% or more vote ACB, A wins.

In the end, strategic voting is a bit like voter fraud, talked about way more than is actually done. And implied to be a much bigger problem than it ever could be.
It doesn't involve cryptography, but mastodon has for at least a couple of years supported link-verification in profiles (it basically checks if a link back to your mastodon profile exists on a page linked on your profile), so a linking to a page that only you credibly control (say, a personal website) is the de-facto system of decentralized user-verification on mastodon.

Edit: supported since 2018 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/8703
Yes, even Signal is doing stories now
Because people have a short attention span and republicans have moved so far right that mundane things like affordable healthcare/college, providing aid to old or disabled people, providing nutritious and affordable food, ensuring that working people of all social strata can lead dignified lives, responding with empathy and evidence backed treatments to drug addiction, etc are responded to with unhinged screeds about socialism communism and fascism and groomers. So Biden needs to respond, rationally, to the propaganda that’s endemic among conservatives which results in cynically timed actions as a part of the effort to lead a nation tearing itself apart. Don’t like it? Stop voting for self interested obstructionists like McConnell, DeSantis, Sinema, manchin, mtg, etc. and don’t fan the fire with conservative dog whistles calling Biden inept when republicans have shown themselves to be shockingly tolerant of their members that routinely and flagrantly act against their stated principles while leaving the consequences of their incompetence for a democrat to clean up.
> Today, several in my mastodon timeline mentioned they finished the move. But without them mentioning, I, an outstander (i'm on another instance) wouldn't notice it.

Do you mean that part of the protocol allows for a migration process that includes changing who your follows are pointing at? (assuming all servers involved are up to date and have this feature) I.e. did your account automatically start following your friends' new accounts?
It's more like a collector item now :)

But I like going to second-hand stores and buying CDs for a dollar: if you like the first song, it's like getting a non-curated Spotify experience that can expand your tastes.

Also, the presence in the store means 1) someone though it was interesting enough to buy it in the first place 2) someone thought it was interesting enough to try to resell it, so it's non-curated in the sense it's not specially tailored to your specific tastes, but still good enough to have been deemed worth selling twice.
A major note in the Mastodon fediverse brought down by the fact that it's administered by one person who, despite the fact they are running a social network node, never built up the real world trust connections to find somebody they could share the toil of administration with or tap in when it was time for them to bow out because we are all mortal.

The technological problems are not the hard problems in this space. The hard problems are social problems.
I've considered doing this on my own website, though probably won't since it's just me.

But IMO this is one of Notion's killer features, the fact that it's so flexible you can use it as a dang CMS.
Gladwell is a soldier in the imperial arsenal. His books are disgusting because they mislead and confuse. I promise you it doesn’t take 10k hours to achieve whatever he thinks. It might take that long if you are going in alone with no mentor. But if you are then yes it’s too late. To become an expert. But who cares about being expert? Being good at your job doesn’t matter as much as being courteous and becoming friends with the people you interact with. Job proficiency just proves you don’t know anybody so you have to try and compensate by being an expert. You can only be an expert in games like basketball and chess. They wont divulge their secrets that they worked hard for unless you’re their son. Our system is a long drawn out affair filled with time eating classes and training that isn’t necessary. The European gentry planned it this way so that they could come over and take jobs quickly while we spent our time in school or stupid jobs like healthcare. They do this in all areas of the economy.
How can I fully trust a SAML IDP?
To be clear, your answer to vulnerable people needing protections is to lower the minimum level of security for everyone using Gmail. Do I understand correctly?
I ran into the scanning bug. Turned out to be because I was leeching and had a max upload of 1kbps. I bumped that up to something more sensible and it started working again. This is an issue with most Torrent clients, although QBittorrent is definitely the worst with it that I've encountered. Unsure if it's what you're running into, but figured I'd point it out since it took me weeks to troubleshoot.
Getting Under Nassim Nicholas Taleb's Skin
Isn't that the business model with low skill workers though? Figure out how to employ them in a way that they don't need training and all is well.
