Yeah, sure whetaver he had were "the most highly classified documents in the country". Maybe even had the location of Jimmy Hoffa and the names of Lee Harvey Oswald's collaborators.

And he faced "zero repercussions", not because the search was a politically motivated show with no substance, but because he's too powerful (but bizarelly also not powerful enough to prevent the raid).

There are anomalies that we don't know how to fully explain yet, the question is: is the efficient market hypothesis more consistent with what we observe than the alternative hypothesis? And the answer is yes.
agreed to the idea.
To me the connotation of that phrase is being a numbskull, so it applies more to the fans and hangers-on than the big players.

If you ever see one of those ugly cartoon ape profile pictures then you're looking at a crypto bro for sure.
That light comes from the light source and is reflected into our eyes, allowing us to see.

There’s a lot of autoscalers too to be perfectly honest.

I can’t be sure which one the GP is referring to, but GKE definitely operates the way they described.
That is their argument, aside from

I found most of this to be quite "objective" and not really related to design decisions.

Most of it very subtle, I agree, but I think it's hard to argue against any of the questions being subjective.
I cannot stress how much this applies to academia
To me it sounded like they were offering people everything they need to get out of a cult, without forcing them to join a different type of cult. Maybe I'm too naive, but to me it sounds like they genuinely are trying to help.
The only reason for that is NI never voted/fought for secession from the UK - just relatively small groups without popular support in NI, but with the support of Ireland.
It would have to be a solution that involves the government
It does keep the tempo, but also limits you to a single scale. So it does sound nice for a bit, but the song doesn't really go anywhere. There are some physical instruments that typically limit you to a single scale too, like a harmonica.
Do you regret building it because of the effect on your spare time or because you didn't manage to use it for its intended purpose?
No, they made a detailed argument and that was not it.

That was an uncharitable strawman.
What helps for this is to not look at their eyes, instead just look at the bridge of their nose between their eyes. For them it'll be as if you are looking straight into either eye.
What makes you so sure that commuting is more environmentally harmful than datacenters full of hardware and the construction and transport of said hardware and mining of raw materials for the hardware?

Additionally, lack of commuting incentivizes un-environmental and inefficient suburban sprawl.

I am not saying that's the case, but I don't buy that it's a strictly pro-environment win a-priori.

If anything commuting is the daily theft of an hour of everyone's life, more so for drivers. "Get an hour of your life back every day" should be all the marketing that's ever needed.
Matrix is not decentralized, but merely federated. As far as I understand it, you still need a home server, that has access to a lot of metadata, which implies that you have to trust the network operator not to log and share all that sensitive information.
It's still an awesome alternative to say, Discord and Slack.
In some enterprise spaces it might be backed up with the product being a leader in a Gartner quadrant or similar industry benchmark. It's completely meaningless but it makes the C-suite feel like they see keeping score.
It would have to be a mix of government and non government nodes for it to work.
Very cool. I think whole teams got laid off at Twitter - DEI, human rights, ethical AI, social good, coms and more. Be great if they could find a home at automattic still as a team
Wait, what? I'm trying to figure out why that would exist but the only thing I can think of is that people were buying a ticket for their instruments rather then checking them and the airline wanted to try and stop the practice.

Netflix always knew it was a matter of time before the giants understood streaming was the way and changed their business models.

What they didn’t expect was Iger - figuring out the model - building a good streaming app - buying up all the could. Truly a high performance CEO imo and one of the best in the history of entertainment.

It’s funny to read in the biographies of S. Jobs just how blown away he was by Disney’s institutional knowledge of marketing when he got into bed with them with Pixar. From the bios I read I remember it was the first time he realised you could make an effective corporate culture last - Disney will soon be around a century old.

This is pretty common model in Finnish student housing. Everyone has their private room and then shared kitchen, WC and Shower. Or bathroom might be in the room.

Their popularity is kinda waning despite affordable pricing. It does cater to certain type of people, but I think it is rather small subsection of population.
'right tools for the right job' seems like just re-stating the original point in different terms, how right a tool is depends on the actual context a big part of that context is culture, preferences, politics etc. not just engineering concerns

I was asking if you had your B6 levels tested ever, not in the last few days.

You’re reading what I wrote much more dramatically than it is implied. The fact you think I am really telling you to run out right now and get your B6 tested is distorted.

What catalyst between 2013 when he was attempting to fleece gullible elderly angel investors with nonsense CS talk and 2014, when he began doing ETH, transformed him from a scammer to a legitimate and responsible financial planner?

I'm willing to accept that people's actions from when they're 19 shouldn't color their lives years later. But maybe people's actions when they were 19 are good to examine to put context into a project they began when they were 20.
That's extra effort too, might as well fix it on the spot.

Also you might not have the data to trigger it in first place. If your todo is "optimize caching of this data" it's hard to see overall system hitratio to know when it might be worth it to start optimizing.

There are also dependency todos, "new version of the thing has that feature and this needs to be changed once we upgrade to it"
You can do the same things with ledger databases, it's just no so convenient, as just typing --force

If you have permission to replace database with with your new one (or spin up new instance of DB, adn redirect app to use that, depending on how you are set up), it's just not as convenient (by design).

I used centera WORM disks at my previous jobs, for added guarantees. (not by choice, stay away of you have a choice)

And once the GDPR came out, and we had to remove some content, that's what we did, made a copy, with bad data removed, nuked centera clean, (created new partition, and disabled old one) and restored now clean data on. As far as our applications were concerned nothing happened.
No, it's about picking the option more coherent with UI and design best practices.

Yes, I’ve used Airtable to make a Slack bot, for example. But your mileage will vary depending on the specific requirements. In general, you’ll be sacrificing app performance for development velocity vs a custom solution built by full-stack devs.

The developers of these things need to stop treating people swearing at them as a time to lecture them and instead realize that if someone is swearing at it then they’re probably not satisfied with how it’s functioning in the attempts before that.
My guess would be that the target audience that buys these products (read companies) don’t really care about the environment

>I might be speaking for only myself here

I'm confident you're actually behind the curve here. The term 'capeshit' has been around for years to express annoyance with the oversaturation of the market with superhero content.
Ah, right. Just fire anyone who doesn't have anything to do for 5 minutes and then rehire them a week later when the new piece of work comes in.

Needless to say, employees will do one of two things. Even very mediocre employees will demand high-end consultancy fees, and "rock-stars" or whatever you want to call them will demand factors of that, or they'll just avoid you like the plague. But frankly, after a relatively short period of time even the high pay won't justify coming back anymore.

And then the time will come to hire and your competitor will be able to hire great people (with intimate knowledge of your company's inner workings), and you won't be able to hire anyone for double the pay. And that's IF you can avoid your company suffering regular sabotage when firing people. People do stupid things when they get fired. Seriously. It's scary.

I'd love responses to this! I've got a 4, 2, and another on the way myself.

I've been noodling on a toy idea as well since I haven't seen it in the market yet (there are close toys though) - would love to see an actual building set where there are big holes in standard distances in blocks and other shapes that can be "screwed" together with an electric driver (toy). Starting with basic blocks that represent a 2x4, literally anything can be built from there.
Both things are programs that run in your head.

The difference is how much the program makes you search inside yourself and ALONE for the answers you seek as opposite to reaching for an external authority.

If you feel you are dependent on an external human the most likely event is that they or their group made you dependent on purpose via some sort of manipulation.
Synthwave/retrowave works great for me.
There is a good app to help with this, "is it snappy".
You were't duped: you know you're lying, and you're in on the big lie and approve of it and spread it on purpose, as datalopers just showed by the links he posted. Pathetically using the passive voice isn't going to help you weasel word out of this. You're unsuccessfully lying and trying to dupe us, just like Trump unsuccessfully attempted. So stop lying, because you're not fooling anyone, just proving my point, and the proof that you're wrong and that you know you're wrong is on the record for everyone to see, and we've known it all along, despite your delusional denial of reality and gaslighting, or Trump's.

Please stop posting baseless conspiracy theories, since it appears that's what you originally created this troll account to do:

Nice! One problem: There's digital clipping. I suspect that the four samples are normalized individually, and when playing at the same time the transients add up to over 0dB. On quality headphones (beyerdynamic dt770 for me) it is quite audible. It happens with the piano and the synth sample, but is more audible with the piano sample.

How to Measure String SSO Length with Constinit and Constexpr
I love uniswap as a concept. Whatever my reservations are about crypto, there are some projects I think are good, uniswap being one of them. Staying true to the decentralized aspects and all that. What I dont understand is, if we have uniswap, why are there other exchanges coming in and establishing a big market. Is it a UX thing? Or is the crypto ecosystem addicted to leveraged trading? If I was a crypto person I would definitely be in favor of more uniswap and less coinbase and binance.
Yes, it should definitely be more straight forward..

Earlier i created one with nicer visuals, and features. Unfortunately it broke after some time..

In this one i have tried to do as little as possible in the hope that it would stay intact.
It's not entirely uncommon to acquire a small company (2-15) as an acqui-hire. I've seen it work well, and I've seen it work poorly. It generally works well when the acquired product is entirely abandoned.
It's always a shock to see startups like this get shutdown. I guess initially there's a lot of hype and excitement, almost like an inevitability that will lead to raising more and more funding until a business model is found. It's always two things that stop that from happening 1. Run out of money 2. The founders quit. To persevere through covid, war, etc is no easy feat, to do it when you started in 2014 and then see fresh faces on the scene in the AI space in 2022, much harder.

It's also demoralising to see an entire category form without you, especially when you were working tirelessly towards it early on. I've really learned this the hard way also. Good luck to the Kite team in their future endeavours.
That's not what fantasy means. If it were, then just 7 years ago you could have said there was no democratic consensus for leaving the EU and that it was a fantasy to suggest it. But that wouldn't have been correct.

My point is that in order to build democratic support for a policy you have to be willing to put in a lot of effort and campaign for it. In the EU there was no point in doing that, because even if you won a democratic victory (an election, referendum, etc) then it didn't matter, the EU would overrule you and the voters, the end.

Yes, Liz Truss tried to do the easy bits of pro-growth policies without the hard bits of actually cutting spending. That doesn't work and she was quickly replaced. The shadow of lockdowns is a long one and the country will be much poorer as a consequence regardless of what politicians do. Nonetheless, I doubt anyone is trying to claim that the new higher tax levels are going to reverse the UK's economic decline.

The UK is not in a "no mans land", that's the sort of emotional catastrophising that this thread is full of. It's a big country and still sells to the EU just as it did before - see my other comments. Exports haven't actually fallen at all because the much vaunted single market wasn't really a single market for the UK's companies anyway so leaving it didn't make much difference.

We all want honest discussions of the consequences. That's why I'm posting on this thread in the first place. Blaming global lockdown/furlough-inducted inflation on Brexit isn't honest economic discourse. Neither is simply insisting on deference to academic/civil service economists, who have been consistently wrong about it.
I personally find JetBrains IDEs' capabilities exceed that of VSCode. The IDE just feels better thought out to me. However, the convenience of VSCode Web/GitHub Codespaces far exceeds that of JetBrains IDEs', so that's where I'm at now - on-demand web-based IDEs and a thin client.
I think what you mean by trust here is just a thin layer over a vast system of enforced checks and balances.

Materials standards, building codes, fair contract law, etc, etc, etc, and the courts and police to back it all up.

I mean, we can also bring up examples for great games that make efficient use of the underlying hardware, e.g. Teardown (if I’m not mistaken that’s the one with voxels where you have fire effects, proper physics, real damage to volumetric objects for the whole world), which would have been unthinkable without today’s hardware.
Graeber says that software maintenance is a "bullshit job" because it would be more efficient to just write bug-free software to begin with.

Yeah thanks genius, why didn't we think of that.

He also explored the idea of "bullshit jobs" in a 2013 essay, then expanded on it over various more lectures and writing, then finally in a 2018 book. But David, surely it would have been more efficient to just write the complete book from the start?

I guess being an "economic anthropologist" is also a bullshit job.

When were the resistor series' first invented?

Is it possible that calculating the logarithmic scale numerically was quite a lot of effort, so instead a graphical approach, using a slide rule, was used? If so, small errors of a couple of percent could be expected in the results, especially if the rule wasn't precisely made?

Ask HN: Would Twitter's Failure Be a Security Risk?
Presumably if the service fails, the domain will eventually expire. If it does, then anyone can buy it out and host whatever they want there.

Doesn't that then mean the script used to embed tweets in articles and websites becomes a huge security issue and possible attack vector? Seems like a bad actor could then steal personal data from all manner of large news sites and other social media services, or just do whatever they want to the content or layout on the same.

Fortunately certain sites do avoid this by not using the embed (the BBC uses images, the Guardian uses a standard blockquote), but many others don't, and I suspect it'd be a mad rush to remove said script if anything like that happened.

Am I overthinking this, or is this a potential security nightmare that Musk's management could make more likely?

>> There's a lot of people who love calculating digits of pi, as one clear example.

Right... that's what I meant about irrational numbers. I'm not trying to rain on the parade of the hobby of it all, but if there were an actual pattern, primes would not be useful in cryptography. The hobby of trying to find "the pattern" is Sunday morning armchair alchemy. Nothing wrong with it, and maybe there's a pattern to be found one day. Great. Whether there is or isn't is only relevant given that we don't know what that pattern is yet. It doesn't, as some imagine, imply the existence of a higher order intelligence.

Nothing really got stolen in the DAO case the way I see it. ETC still exists, its just that nobody wants to use that chain. Code is still law, but the users decide which code to run. I can see the beauty in it.
That’s a lot likelier, yes. I may be pessimistic, but I think that still wouldn’t help them answer “How far is the sun from earth?” because I doubt your average teenager can compute “8 minutes times 300,000 km/s in km”, let alone “8 minutes times 186,300 miles/s in miles”.

Their phone can, but their phone also can answer “How far is the sun from earth?” directly.
IIRC there were some hacks on bitcoin ATMs using this sort of knowledge.

The attacker would set up a withdrawal of (IIRC) CAD on the ATM, then transfer the bitcoin. The ATM would see the transaction, and dispense the cash. However the attacker would immediately, before the next block was generated, send the same BTC to another address which they controlled, with a higher fee. The miner would discard the first one and roll the update into a new block.

I may have one or two of the details wrong (is there an explicit way in the bitcoin protocol to mark a transaction as superseding a previous one?), but anyway, like many things, it worked until they got caught.
I see the reasoning - but I don't think there needs to be a hack involved in submissions to Hacker News. Just an interesting story that might appeal to the sort of people who hang around, apparently this one caught on.

I don't personally like articles that start off with "accusing" the reader of something - like this or the You will never "fix it later" one - but it's easy to click "hide" or to just ignore if I'm not interested.
You need to earn £45k a year in order to pay in more Income Tax than you take out. You need a household income of £60k a year to make a net contribution in VAT.

Only around 20% of people in Britain earn these amounts, which means 80% of people are taking out more than they contribute. I don't know how this compares to other countries but it is clearly unsustainable and I think that now the era of generous Government handouts and cheap borrowing have come to an end, it is starting to bite.

So if you were a "lefty" all your life, then when and why did you suddenly decide to be so tolerant and condoning of racism and antisemitism and misogyny, and decide to start spreading lies in support of violence and hatred?

You know you're lying too, and you're not arguing in good faith, just gaslighting. See my reply and dataloper's reply to Duckfeathers, because it also applies to you. You've demonstrated that your arguments are insincere and deceptive and not worth responding to, because you're a liar.
