The suspected error wasn't in the An example section...I knew there was an error somewhere, but weighted this more probable to be correct given the effort put into clearly explaining the method in step-by-step manner.

In my previous remark, turns out that the root of the error was in too quickly and incorrectly concluding (admittedly having never purchased these bonds before and only learning of them this year as we went into a bear market) that both the fixed and inflation rate components were subject to change every six months.

It wasn't until I saw your follow-up today and attempted to revisit details without bias that I noticed this linked chart[1] which made it immediately clear what critical bit of conditional detail I had missed, that is, the fixed rate component is determined at the time of initial bond purchase and persists unchanged for the life of the instrument...whoops!

To be fair, my original remark was in response to your assertion that "the current rate of 9.62% is the lowest it's ever been, and its never changed drastically." Even with my now corrected understanding, this assertion still doesn't stand in my mind given the linked table demonstrates that the prevailing 9.62% composite rate approaches historically high levels independent of original purchase date, and although variable returns ranging from 0% to 10+% depending on issue date is agreeably not drastic to someone as young as me, it's nevertheless pretty subjective, e.g. if you bought between 05/20-10/20, you'd have seen variable APY ranging from 1.06% to 9.62%, which is objectively pretty volatile.

I've been thinking about this lately.

I wonder if we could standardize a benchmark format so that you could automatically do the steps of downloading the code, setting up a container (on your computer or in the cloud), running the benchmarks, producing an output file, and making a PR with the output.

So developers would go "here's my benchmark suite, but I've only tested it on my machine", and users would call "cargo bench --submit-results-in-pr" or whatever, and thus the benchmark would quickly get more samples.

(With graphs being auto-generated as more samples come in, based on some config files plus the bench samples)
Thanks, this looks great!

How does the history know that the prefix (hostname, PID, date) is not part of the command though?

I mean, I tested it and it works as expected (without them) but I'm really curious about how it works.

Silverlight was around for 12 years (9/2007 - 1/2019). Not exactly a shooting star.

It was technically better than Flash in every way, but the Internet was in its "Micro$oft bad!" -mode at the time and shunned everything they made. They also took a bit too long to provide proper clients for OS X and Linux.
No. The probability of an event is never, ever negative, even in quantum. We use the complex scalar product, c x c^*, to get probabilities, and those are necessarily positive even for complex numbers. The same is true for the generalization to functions required in quantum mechanics.

If your wave function at point (0,0,0) were i x delta(0) (i.e. a point-like particle perfectly located at the three-dimensional origin), the probability of finding the particle there isn't i^2, but i x i^* = i x (-i) = 1.
> I've never found a game since that draws me in like UO did. Ever since WoW, everyone has been following more or less the same cookie cutter template for MMORPGS.

Absolutely. WoW made such incredible truckloads of cash that I became the benchmark for what an "MMORPG" was supposed to be. Almost all such games in the post-WoW era, espacially in that period about 2005-2012, followed the same template. Which is a real shame because an MMO with a real sense of exploration is still one of the most amazing experiences I had in front of a computer screen.
Riemannian geometry in general (and not just geometry of specific homogeneous spaces like the hyperbolic plane) was still somewhat recent and hard at the time or at least had that reputation. I’ve heard that the notion of parallel transport on Riemannian manifolds, for one, was developed as a consequence of people making sense of GR, before that Christoffel symbols were apparently just ... a formal thing.

(The general theory of connections on bundles certainly postdates GR although it does predate Yang–Mills.)

Which societies have tried your quoted route? The only communist countries I know about never made it to communist but were very early in the process taken over by dictators who very much took more than their need and certainly inhibited the sharing of abilities.

You're right though, inheritance taxes on all assets help to iron out such issues; but in general the ruling classes avoid most taxes (and often laws in general) and aren't keen to enforce their application.

There’s both a logical and an emotional component to this. Logically the team would understand why the employee was terminated right before vest. Emotionally however it will gnaw at them, wondering if that could happen to them.

In my opinion I’d make it clear that the termination and the equity decisions are separate, that it was a bad fit but that you are building a culture of doing right by people. That doesn’t mean eliminating vesting, it means that you approach these exceptions on a case by case basis. I’d say 6 months vest would be fair, given the performance management issues - and it strikes the right balance showing you won’t be pushed around and that low performers will not be treated the same way as high performers.
You'll get a brutal reputation externally, possibly some journalists pointing at your startup, destroying your ability to hire. You should have done it earlier or not do it at all. Employee might have their side of the story that could be very unflattering to you (were there any unfulfilled promises in the past?).
If the company wants to encourage "above and beyond" performance, they should do that through a bonus. In all scenarios I'm familiar with, shares vesting are tied to duration at the firm, i.e. loyalty and "toughing it out". The employee forfeits the right to those shares either by leaving the firm early, or being bad enough at their job that they get fired. This is of course the latter, but the timing is the problem. Had they fired this employee five months ago, it would have appeared less like yanking the rug from under them. But as you show, perceptions differ

Depends on the dynamics of the team too.

If the rest of the team also thinks “this guy sucks” and trusts the leadership there could be no impact to trust.

We’re talking about a team of 10 here rather than 1000. It is possible there is a closer than usual relationship/ fair amount of trust compared to random HNers talking about a company they don’t know.
Been a while since I’ve touched observable (not a criticism, just that I’m out of the loop) and didn’t know or forgot they had free tier private notebooks.

Doesn’t seem to me to be a big deal and a relatively normal way to differentiate free and paid accounts for such a service/SaaS.

Anyone have insights on the broader implications though? Business is struggling? Are they being outcompeted by other “notebook” offerings? I’d guess their integration with cloud services would be subpar given that they themselves, last I heard, ran on Heroku and so may never have seen cloud integration as a priority. Is the visualisation and JS focus not paying off in data analytics or data science at least for enterprise? It wouldn’t surprise me (though I have no idea) that they got VC with big goals but would have been better off as a small boutique company.
It's mostly about luck.

AMD's SEV supports providing an attestation to the launch state of the VM, including information about whether the hypervisor has any visibility into the contents of the VM. If this works as described it does genuinely let you decouple trust from the CSP, instead placing it purely in the CPU vendor.

But I agree with the general thrust of the post - simply providing your own keys isn't sufficient to remove the CSP from the set of people you need to trust. There are reasons to do this (eg, you want the ability to extract your encrypted data and make use of it, or you want to have a chain of trust back to keys that you control), but the moment you upload a private key anywhere it's obviously no longer private in the same sense it was before you did that.

Ha, a generation of English students will thoroughly enjoy this. For a bit of context, he was the head of the Liberal Democrat party in the UK which gained a lot of popularity among younger voters leading up to the 2010 UK General Election. This was in no small part due to a pledge they all made to not increase University tuition fees.

They were fancied to do very well in that election - Clegg was young, spoke really well and outclassed everyone in pre-election debates[0]. However they didn't do quite as well as hoped - while they added about a million votes over the previous election, they ended up losing a few seats in total. However they ended up in a fairly powerful position, since neither of the two bigger parties - Labour and the Conservatives - had enough MPs to form a majority government. So whoever could form a coalition with Lib Dems could basically win.

They chose to enter a coalition with the Conservatives who then proceeded to lifted the cap on tuition fees and basically every university in England and Wales promptly hiked their fees to the maximum allowed. In response they didn't do much other than wring their hands and offer meek apologies. The party was quite understandably crucified at the next election, losing 49 of their 57 seats and they've been the fourth party - behind the Conservatives, Labour, and the Scottish National Party[1] - ever since.

[0] - This was a pretty low bar, though. For example one of the memorable parts of the first debate was that during his closing statement he namechecked the audience members (name, location and issue) who asked the candidates questions. The media liked this. Needless to say, all the candidates did the same in the second debate :D

[1] - They do pull more votes overall than the SNP, but due to how the UK system works they don't get as many parliamentary seats. Understandably they pushed for a proportional representation voting system which would help ... but that failed.

Ask HN: Best developer friendly email client for macOS?
Help the developer community and suggest an email client for MacOS that truly is the best according to you.

It feels like no developers I know is particularly happy with their (GUI) email client on MacOS.

I'm looking for one that:

- Stays out of my way and lets me focus on emails.
- Easy to use without a mouse
- Minimal amount of clutter
- Unifies Gmail / Google inboxes and sent emails
- Doesn't cache every single email on my hard drive
- Probably more, but you get where I'm going

Clients I've tried extensively:

- Spark - By far the best I've tried so far. But, and it hurts... I choose not to use them now that Ukraine is being invaded both geographically and digitally. In this case I'm rather safe than sorry.
- Apple Mail - it works, but sparks absolute zero joy.
- Twobird - I wish I loved them and I do in 80% of the cases. But they want to merge your todo list and email and as a consequence they don't allow you to archive an email without clicking - two times. There are other similar examples caused by the fact that they really want to be a mix between a todo list and an email client.
- Airmail - "Apple Design Award 2017 Winner". 2017.

That's a very disingenuous example that bears little relation to classichasclass's original post. They said they know people who have suffered significantly because of COVID and for that reason they are still cautious. You immediately responded "let's not exaggerate". How have they exaggerated?

I have to think through how this will impact my usage of observable when teaching. I'm not sure how I feel about asking my students to utilize it if part of using it is that all of their notebooks are instantly public, or if that will run afoul of university-level policies about disclosing class rosters etc.

I suppose that is exactly the reason that they offer educational programs, but for my class size and the resources available for my classes I'm not sure that is available to me.

So with AMDs SEV (and I'm guessing similar systems) what's the interface by which a customer will get that information?

That could be an okay stop-gap solution if consensus couldn't be reached on new laws, since conflicts between states have original jurisdiction with the Supreme Court.

A concept that I heard about in at least one other country is that Governors and Presidents have an additional option when the legislature passes a bill to their desk. Instead of "sign" or "veto", there is at least an additional option of punting it directly to the constitutional court.

(Another tweak is that the constitutional court is not simultaneously an appellate court.)

and then of course is what I observed about who can have standing to bring something to the courts at all. I think one shouldn't need to be harmed already to bring a case to review.
I follow that one can quickly get on-track with this mode of explaining nature, but I still think the rigamarole of dragging students through all the meaningful discoveries since Galileo is useful since understanding the techniques that have been used to imagine those systems of explanation is pretty interesting, if not broadly applicable.

It's naive to think this was the last mystery.

Due to various issues my eyes don't work together (I look out of one of the other depending on a mix of focal length and just what my brain randomly choses), but we get 3D information from more than just using two eyes in unison. The parallax information that two eyes allows us to infer can also be derived by movement, either of objects relative to each other or by our head movements. Ever watch a cat or other animal lift its head up a bit then resetting prior to a jump/pounce/other, even if the view is clear so they don't need to look over something? That is partly what they are doing, gaining extra accuracy by being able to do parallax computation based on information from four points (both eyes at different heights) instead of two.
I used to hold the same opinion, until I studied and sat my WSET levels 2 and 3. Now I disagree.

There are concrete and objective quality indicators in wine, which independent observers will reach the same conclusion about (without communicating). Broadly speaking you can class those as complexity, intensity, balance and length.

It's entirely possible to have personal dislike for a particular wine style, yet score individual examples of it highly across those 4 areas. Equally it's possible to have great personal enjoyment of wines that don't score well.

Personal taste and quality are separate dimensions, and appreciation of the latter is a coachable skill. I recommend anyone in doubt to take a decent wine course and see for yourself.
Ask HN: Unmetered VPS for Video Hosting?
Can you recommend VPS hosting with unmetered traffic suitable for video hosting(=wide bandwidth and large storage)? OVH can go to 2Gbit/s but storage is problematic.
I am a quantum physicist and I can confirm that’s not how probability amplitudes work . The amplitudes are just complex numbers. Remember that complex numbers describe oscillations. A number r * exp(i phi) is an oscillation with amplitude r and current phase phi. Quantum states are wave functions, hence the complex numbers describing the oscillations. Amplitude -1 is just the bottom of the oscillation. Then on top of that you have that probabilities are the squares of the amplitude (for which I’m not sure if have a concise explanation).
> You instead want to go into 1930s whataboutism with an unexplained reference to Trump.

It’s not whataboutism or about Trump. When it came time to certify the electoral votes for the election, there was a huge push for Republican representatives and senators not to certify the votes because of the “stolen election” much of that came from state houses. If the states (not the voters) could arbitrarily recall representatives, many of the Republican representatives who did do the right thing wouidnt have.

Besides, there is all types of coercion that could happen remotely that wouldn’t happen when everyone is one place.

Clegg voted for raising tuition fees, in direct contradiction to the pledges. It was a betrayal and one that's on public record.

Cameron was a disaster. Austerity was incredibly cruel on the poorest of the population, and the UK wasn't exactly a shining light in its recovery from the financial crisis. He led a weak remain campaign and then stepped aside as soon as Brexit became difficult, and the following governments have had to deal with his mess, the covid outbreak and the effects of the war in Ukraine.

So I think you could equally say that the coalition is a root cause of many of the issues of today. That and the lack of any credible opposition for years.
Neat indeed :-).
