Ooo this sounds super interesting.

Just rewatched The Century of the Self and restarted Can't Get You Out of My Head by Adam Curtis/BBC, which seem very much aligned to this. Highly recommend if you haven't seen either yet. Free to watch on youtube
Many iPads already have a 3-pin magnetic Smart Connector on the back that's currently being used for power & data transfer with Smart Keyboards.
> Ultimately it hasn't been done, so in some sense you are correct. I think it's more a case that they can't be bothered, rather than a technical or financial limitation.

Seems rather uncharitable. Given how much effort various rail companies put into providing a good rail service, seems rather odd that they got to leaves and decided “they can’t be bothered” anymore. I mean why stop there? Why bother running the trains at all? Why bother doing track upgrades or maintenance?

There’s 20,000 miles of train track in the UK. At 100mph it would take you 8days to traverse all of it. You would need 200 leaf clearing units running at 100mph 24/7 to clear leaves every hour. I can see why that might be a logistical challenge.
People keep saying he's sick or he is wrong, yet his popularity keeps growing. Same for net worth. His tweets are getting 3-5x the engagement compared to a year ago. Maybe it's all part of the act.
You don't need to know him personally. He's talked publicly about being bipolar and how it makes him imagine scenarios exactly like those he has described recently. His recent behaviour has all the hallmarks of a bipolar episode. I think there's a good discussion to be had about how we should talk about situations like this but dismissing it out of hand definitely isn't helpful.

> I don't think you can say anything so factual about his life, let alone that he's being scammed.

One thing I think it's possible to say definitively is that he was played by Tucker Carlson's team. The comments they didn't air, like those about Jewish people, are headline making. Any serious journalistic outfit would have aired them. The fact that they cut around them shows that they wanted to paint Kanye in a particular way for their own purposes.
That's a schedule.

A roster is a list of people and their roles. A schedule is a roster with chronological information.

Reserve is probably something people should understand but backup works as well.
Yes it can, community fork which aint maintained by Google is not google anymore.
Fork all you want, if Google kills it from its repos, its still killed by google.
Obviously no one is arguing that we should attack mentally ill people. We can acknowledge that mental illness impairs decision making ability without attacking people. It doesn't even mean that people can't agree with some of Kanye's conclusions, but if you are such a person, consider finding a champion for your ideas who can do a better job of articulating those ideas.
> But if you buy a ticket every time the jackpot is above $100M

That's the only way I'll play. Once in a while I'll drop two bucks on a seriously large jackpot. If I think rationally, I'm pretty sure winning would ruin my life. But it's fun to fantasize about what that kind of money would enable. Two bucks buys me a day or so of that, once or twice a year.

I don't get the appeal of scratch-its or regular casino gambling, though. Even if you win the jackpot, it's a pittance. I assume that kind of gambling is a different mindset, more focused on playing than winning.
>I have seen when employees take advantage of job training and then immediately bounce when their contract expires for that.

I've seen this as an excuse avoid training people, which seems absurd. It reminds me of the apocryphal discussion between two managers:

Manager 1: "But what if we train them and the leave!?"

Manager 2: "But what if we don't train them and they stay!?"

Training your people is just part of what a good manager does.
Clickhouse is a great technology for a niche scenario. A lack of a good QO is one big thing missing but not the only one unfortunately.

I know a company that forked Clickhouse but had to rebuild virtually everything to be a proper database.

There are already plenty of technologies, more mature than Clickhouse for addressing such scenarios.
> I don't equate, say, "making money" with "stealing money". I mean the way people do things within the law.

Laws shouldn't be equated to ethics. There have been and will be countless ways to make money legally and unethically in any society.
I think that there is something profoundly wrong when people aspire to be the victim rather than their hero in their own personal narrative. It is a form of stunted emotional growth. Virtue arises from overcoming challenges, not just suffering.

Ascribing virtue to suffering itself leads to a race to the bottom, where the most noble society is that which suffers the most
My guess is that it has something to do with whether or not a trip can be legally flown by an airline employee given the amount of hours of flying time they already have clocked for a given period.
I think the answer here is complicated, but a good portion of it is closely related to 'my friends are here.'
Even sadder is what happens to the winners on average; the winner is often someone not good with money and they get given a large amount of the thing they're not good with.

You don't need to be particularly good with money if you have more than you can ever spend.
why did this get down voted?
>So what can a malignant narcissist to do if they aren't truly a victim, that will confer on them the most prized status, that of victim? The answer is simple: Join a traditionally oppressed community by lying about your experience, exploiting the inclusive nature of the community so you can claim the moral high ground as a victim, usurp the organization for your own ends and continue to keep marginalized people oppressed.

Or they could simply be members of the marginalized group. People in such groups are still human beings, and a certain percentage of all humans are "malignant narcissists." It's simply part of the human experience. You don't need to go to the lengths of looking for people lying about identification to find them.
Call me cynical, but I think the likes of Kanye, the Kardashians, Trump, even Elon, etc. are much more calculated than they are deranged. They know how to work the media and manipulate the public better than anyone else. We're living in a world now where journalists are paid by click counts more than quality of content. In the same vein, Kanye and the likes know that the more absurdist and unconventional their actions, the more publicity they get.

Someone I know was just complaining about what a crap shoot Uber pre-booking is for airport dropoffs. The taxi services out where I live aren't great either in general so I just eat the cost of a private car.
> I think this is what will happen when interest rates go up and free money stops.

And what happens to pension funds if interest rates go up and stay up? What happens to government spending on debt as a percentage of tax revenues? What happens to personal debt service as a percentage of income?

The modern world isn't going to work with positive REAL interest rates. So I'm skeptical they're going to stick around for more than a year without causing a bigger depression than The Great Depression.
flat democracy in this case means no power concentration and everyone votes on everything.

as opposed to what the US currently has, which is a representational democracy where power is concentrated at the government level with people electing others to represent them (and to wield more power than they, themselves, do).

----

If someone tells you power concentrated in the government is bad and power should be evenly distributed, they're talking about a flat democracy (aka direct democracy).

Which goes back to what I said initially. What if the people want slaves? What if they want segregated schools? Because at one point the majority actually did want these things.

People who argue for things like this imagine that only good will come from it. Not only is that not true, we have precedent that it's not true.
> Quite a claim with no source.

I am the source. Anyone that gets blinded at night by oncoming traffic is the source, because this should not happen with properly aligned headlights. Regardless of ground clearance, low beam headlights should angle down towards the road to focus on the road approximately 125ft from the front tires. The higher the ground clearance, the steeper the angle.

> Are you claiming that the manufacturers are making trucks with illegal headlights? Because that seems pretty far fetched. Or that drivers are modifying them? Because that is very rare.

It's either the dealers or the owners, or both.
I haven't tried it out in awhile, but I wonder if LXQt might be worth looking at for something more configurable than GNOME, yet more simple than KDE. Of course, there's also always XFCE, MATE, and Cinnamon. I just don't see LXQt mentioned much.
Kind of a weird site for an educational facility. The Arecibo telescope was kind of in the middle of nowhere. That's a feature when picking a site for a radio-telescope, but not for education, especially when you don't have a cool-looking giant telescope to give people an excuse to make the trip
A lot of HackerNews posters are very sympathetic to the difficulties and troubles of massive billion-dollar companies.
People pay for a lottery ticket to dream about what their life could be like if they won (similar to people who never launch that buiness idea). Many people derive a lot of happiness from this, moreover (in the uk) a large proportion of the takings goes to good causes and people generally accept it is extremely unlikely they will win but instead of just donating to charity they at least have a slim chance of a massive gain.
I'm curious why this was downvoted myself, I actually like the idea.
Guessing your point is that a promise of anonymity is not equal proof of it. As you also likely know, at least one response to that paper was posted:

My point is, corporations can be just as corrupt as the employees and vice versa. Also, you can have a perfect working place, but people will still leave your company. It would suck if people would leave after you've invested in them and I understand companies want some sort of insurance.
Back up all data, especially my various nix configuration files (`configuration.nix`, `home.nix`, `flake.nix`es, etc.`).

Wipe the LUKS header (`cryptsetup erase <device> && wipefs -a <device>`).

Run the default NixOS setup.

When I get the machine back, reformat & re-install. Copy back the config, reboot to my working old system.

I've got an "erase your darlings" style setup, so everything outside /home and /persist gets erased every boot anyway, and I test my backups so "just wipe it and restore once it's back" is pretty low risk.
But loads of companies, dare I say every company, is already used for free education. Every single job I've been in taught me a set of skills which I used to find a significantly better job within a few years. They got me a little rough around the edges but otherwise productive for xx months and I got on the job training.

Now any of those companies in the past could have said, "Hey we recognize that you've been here xx months and that your skills have increased. You can likely go get a job at another firm doing x and earning y. We want to offer you that here." But none of them have. At least not until I've gotten an offer elsewhere and decided to make that move already.

Hmm honestly it looks like they'd be in the right to take it down too. I support the app and I think it's cool what they're(the app makers) doing, but it's not surprise that app stores might not be cool with the DIY nature of how they get the data.
I notice I'm a "visual thinker" while others seem to be "linguistic thinkers". Both approach problem solving differently and perhaps do better at different things. Certain calculus problems I could solve without doing the "pencil steps" because I found a (mentally) visual way to process them, while chemistry equations often tripped me up because I couldn't turn them into pictures. It may just be a matter of knowing how one's brain works and leveraging what it does best. But the training and descriptive material may not cater to one or the other. (I come from a long family of visual artists.)

I really wish people understood this more. Anecdotally, I'll never forget the time I was around him and some of his people. This when he was just coming up as a rapper but well known to be a producer. Just a little club appearance, and there was some odd technical issue.

I've never seen a human being who more obviously "sought the approval of others." He has this weird negative charisma; like there are some people who light up the room by being in it. It's not that he darkens the room -- but it's that he needs the light from others. It just felt like he needed everyone to really like him, and I could so easily see how someone could take advantage of that.
Not OP, but this example is probably the most famous: https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/30/business/elon-musk-private-je...
I wouldn’t describe it as a single level, because there is some recursiveness involved, and different parts of an experience may involve a different “strength” (like individual tangled weeds have different strengths) or a different number of levels. I think of it as having an organic shape.

I also don’t think consciousness is black and white, there is certainly a spectrum. To us, qualia have complex, multi-faceted and multi-layered textures, in line with what we can cognitively perceive and process, and they trigger just-as-complex associations and emotions. It seems to me that this richness is a large part of what makes consciousness wondrous.

I don’t think a Roomba is observing its own internal processing. A program that debugs/profiles its own execution and uses those data as inputs of its main functions, or a neural network that feeds back the changing weights of its edges as additional inputs for itself, would maybe come closer to asking that question.

As an analogy, does a simple light sensor qualify as “seeing”? “Seeing” on the level of a mammal, with object and motion recognition and building an internal spacial model of what it sees, along with predicting what will happen in the next moments based on what it sees, is certainly on a whole other level.
I believe - making sure that they're not working too many flights back to back.

This can get tricky when flying across time zones and date lines.
You’ve gone from accusing me of a straw man argument, to postulating that not only do the Stargate Replicators exist, but every other advanced civilization knows they exist but somehow hide from them, even though by all conservative estimates, if Von Neuman probes did in fact exist, more than enough time has elapsed that the entire galaxy should have been converted to a grey goo by now.

Replicator machines “seem doable”?!?

Explain. Seriously. Explain what technologies and energy sources would create a complex autonomous machines from unrefined raw materials.

If it’s easier, explain how you’d make make a paper clip from first principles in the middle of a Greenland glacier. What are you going to do? Use electrolysis to split the water, and then have a fusion device fuse hydrogen into iron? Scrape across the surface to find trace atoms, and hope you find enough iron? Even if you have the iron, are you going smelt it, or what? How do you plan to forge it into steel, and then shape it? Are you going to use a tunneling electron microscope to place individual atoms? What’s the energy budget for this? How are you collecting and storing it? What’s the mass of this machine?

At this point, we’re talking about a World Devastator from Star Wars: Dark Empire.

“Seems doable”! Pshaw! EVERY ONE of these thought experiments from the 1940s are just magical premise to base a much simpler analysis on. In the case of Von Neuman proves, it’s determining a limit on how fast you could settle the galaxy. It’s not a serious technical proposal. It never was.
Probably best to be a bit wary of pushing narratives from a group that say the problem is there's too gosh darned much public control over things and we need to deregulate and transfer more power to the financial sector without a caveat then.
If we get rid of the lottery, what am I going to daydream about while at the job I hate?

Hope, even when it's an illusion, can be a powerful thing. I wonder if there's some other way to adapt this trait or side effect to other, less destructive, practices.
Don't forget to raise rates far above the modes of transportation they were meant to replace. It's not unusual for Uber to cost triple what a cab would here in NYC for a trip home after working at night.
The traceability of very much part of design of most blockchains, starting with Bitcoin. The whitepaper makes this clear in section "10) Privacy" and the article quotes half of the relevant text.

The remaining half states: "As an additional firewall, a new key pair should be used for each transaction to keep them from being linked to a common owner. Some linking is still unavoidable with multi-input transactions, which necessarily reveal that their inputs were owned by the same owner. The risk is that if the owner of a key is revealed, linking could reveal other transactions that belonged to the same owner"

Unlike Bitcoin, account based blockchains make this extra measure of privacy harder as the receiving and sending address is one and the same, however there's no limit to how many accounts one can have, so anonymity is still possible as long as acquiring the coins doesn't reveal your identity.

Those who sign up for cryptocurrency service providers (who are required by law to perform AML/KYC checks - and do so with the consent of their customers) trade away the privacy (of some of their) transactions for the benefits (most commonly, yield and ease of use) said services offer. This is not different from use cases of cash money, where getting cash money from an ATM or most money transmitters will reveal your identity, and while one is free to make in person transactions and remain "anonymous", if one wants to have a bank account or invest legally, then some level of KYC will be in place.

The article indeed asks the wrong question. DeFi can't operate legally without KYC/AML and customers know it. Your comment on the other hand seems to me to be making an error in believing DeFi users don't know this.
The detail you're going into are the YAGNI part. Yes, you'll get those eventually, but you deal with _those_ problems later. Log to a file right now and switch to DataDog, Papertrail, etc. later on. Add /v1/ now, worry about integrating CI/CD into that later, when breaking changes means you actually need to worry about using versioning.

I'd think it's implied that you just normalise the tables. It's really not hard to build and use a normalised database. I was doing this in my first months as a junior developer, so I'd expect an engineer with any seniority to be able to do it.

If you're asking: "should we model the domain perfectly?" then my answer is a simple "model the domain as you understand it _today_." YAGNI is not "write shitty code" but "don't add things you don't need right now."

Again, if adding /v1/ into your first URL string or configuring your logging takes "a couple days" each, then I'm going to have serious concerns.
And people should fight for their freedoms, otherwise it ends like China with total digital surveillance and total government control.
> You may choose a worse technique

But what if you don't? Especially in my old sysadmin jobs I had many opportunities to work for multiple companies doing very little actual work - most of my colleagues were playing, watching movies, reading, posting on Slashdot etc. The probability of a critical incident occurring at the same time everywhere and being so grave that all sysadmins would have to participate was close to zero. I did not take another job but I wouldn't consider it to be unethical in that scenario
I found it incredible that players "making less than $30,000 spend 13%" of their income on the lottery.

That's completely absurd, given the odds of winning. I found sitting and spending a million dollars on an online lottery simulator stopped any hope of winning the lottery quite quickly. Even as an engineer it can be hard to get a feel for tiny odds until you sit there and repeatedly spend $1000 with nothing in return.
> Did you know that car mechanics have to buy their own tools? Can you imagine developing software and having to bring your own computer and devices?

IANAL at all, but from my own research a few years back, part of the contractor test in North America and other countries is “who is providing and paying for the tools”. And when the answer is “not me”, it’s a strong indicator you’re an employee. Ergo if you’re an employee, the employer must pay for the tools to do the job (as in legally must)
Wikipedia has a couple of non-timeseries examples[1].

I guess with timeseries you'd have something along the lines of:

user | time_range | status
======+==============+=========
1 | [2018, 2021) | ACTIVE
2 | [2019, ) | ACTIVE
1 | [2021, ) | BLOCKED

Where the PK is (user, time_range). (The time_range field being shortened to just year here for simplicity's sake.)

In PostgreSQL you can use the tstzrange[2] type. You could also only store one of the timestamps, but that would come at the cost of more complex queries.

It seems pretty clear that they want to block it because they want to control how the productivity information is accessed, and that control is more important to them than their employees being satisfied and productive. The article mentioned that the author of the app even previously reached out to partner with them (maybe asked for an API so he didn't have to scrape?) and they were still uninterested.

Imagine your company's official expense reporting system is a 35 year old Windows 3.1 application that constantly crashes and doesn't even integrate with payroll so underpaid assistants have to manually copy records over from DOS to ADP's system. One of those assistants comes up with a web-based app that scrapes the database and makes it easy for everyone. Most large companies I've seen are going to come down on that assistant like a ton of bricks, not reward them for their ingenuity. It's just the nature of power structure in large bureaucratic companies.
The Shuttle is IMO still really cool and there are missions it could do like repairing Hubble or the initial stages of the ISS construction that would be really hard to do with the tiny little capsules we've reverted to. It's size and separate airlock alone give it abilities you can't get in any capsule flying today.
