I got suggested to buy a bank once. Nothing shady about it, the fact that it's a bank means they've got an insured deposit base, which is great for number of investment purposes.

Why it would be easier to buy a bank than to get a license I never got an answer to. Surely the authorities would not leave a loophole? But I don't know.
Interesting, thank you! I am having a bit of difficulty understanding the exact implications in this context, but I will give it some thought.

You can observe that many many day traders with real money on the line don't see these as important. Students who aren't even in it for real money need a lot of guidance to avoid chasing the greatest (fake) return by pursuing high variance strategies. Or maybe you discuss that's what they're doing. Could be interesting.

Previous HN discussion on same topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33733077
Serializing structs with C++17 structured bindings
My brother is a machine learning and bioinformatics researcher at a top university in the US and we often discuss the idea that human creativity itself at the upper echelon can be most interestingly defined to include a "non-systemetizable" quality. Thus, the result of a.i. art, being purely systematic, is an image whose style (artistic fundamentals of form, line, value, etc.) only ever lags just behind the artists whose work it was trained on. The a.i. flow itself requires new artists to create new styles or there's stagnation.

Most of us (art world) can look at an image (a.i. or otherwise) and immediately recall the artist(s) it was mostly influenced by. As a common example, this is why most dark surreal a.i. output feels like a botched Beksinski piece, however the tragic life of Beksinski informed his technical stylistic depth. Dall-E is a purely (practically speaking as compared to other forms) deterministic system. Even photography requires the human eye to compose, light, design, filter, granulate, texturize, etc.

Edit: Not sure if I exactly answered your question, but I think I've tried to explain how there's a direct connection between the human experience and novelty in style, A.i. undercuts it, but a conscious system cultivating new styles based on its experience would be the closest thing to change my mind.
Oh I think a few simd instructions could reduce processing to near zero without going crazy with multi-threaded architectures.

Is that significant? All rentals were subject to rent control at the time. Only since 2018 has new construction been exempt, but older builds remain under rent control.
Amazing. I’d pay to see that.

there doesn't seem to be any reasoning or evidence in that post supporting "uppercase is the better option", just that uppercase produces a larger number of word classes, which might be correct or incorrect

tchrist explains in that thread why neither uppercase nor lowercase is the best option:

> Mapping to lowercase doesn’t work for Unicode data, only for ASCII. You should be mapping to Unicode foldcase here, not lowercase. Otherwise yours is a Sisyphean task, since lowercase of Σίσυφος is σίσυφος, while lowercase of its uppercase, ΣΊΣΥΦΟΣ, is the correct σίσυφοσ, which is indeed the foldcase of all of those. Do you now understand why Unicode has a separate map? The casemappings are too complex for blindly mapping to anything not designed for that explicit purpose, and hence the presence of a 4th casemap in the Unicode casing tables: uppercase, titlecase, lowercase, foldcase.

of course 'σίσυφοσ' is not correct as a written word but if you were to encounter it then you should clearly consider it equivalent to 'σίσυφος'

I have had broadly the same use case - small scale file sync (text notes, some documents)

If you want to save some cash, I can recommend Syncthing. You don't need to host a server for it unless you want to - it is peer-to-peer with all devices you want to be linked via their discovery servers (you can host your own as well).

I used to host my own Nextcloud for about 3 years, moved to Syncthing a few weeks ago, pretty happy so far.
"Dune, the greatest film that was never made" looked like it could have been incredible. Both casting and asthetic was in place, with the story they had it would have taken that film in a different and some would say more interesting direction.

I don’t think this model would work for Twitter at all.

HN has a very narrow scope and is moderated appropriately for that scope.

HN doesn’t provide users with their own platform- it provides then access to the HN platform (since nobody has their own timeline or followers, we’re just competing for the central “front page”.

While I respect Dang when he moderates the HN timeline, I would not be as happy if he moderated my own timeline so aggressively

Enforcement is a major issue for most countries. I once asked for a data export from GitHub and GitHub said becuase I couldn't prove 2fa I couldn't prove I owned the account. The account was in my name with my profile picture, I can prove who I am via Passport. I'm legally entitled to know what personal data they have of me and to get an export. The Netherlands were very wishywashy and basically too lazy to do anything about it, probably because they were overworked.

GDPR, mostly seems like an annoyance to developers while providing little actual benefit to users since countries aren't willing to enforce it and even if you do take it to court yourself the courts aren't doing much. In once case, a German court found that a company breached GDPR by using Mailchimp but because they stopped using Mailchimp they didn't fine them, for the breach. That is realistically a complete joke of a judgement. And honestly, there are lots of judgements that are basically similar.
Teachers need to ask every student in the class one basic question right from the offset:

- Are you more interested in things or are you more interested in people?

Once you’ve separated the students into these two camps you can tailor the content to match the interest much better. You’re probably going to have to tunnel down some more into their interests and get creative to really engage them but in my opinion this is the most bang for your buck question that teachers should be using to tailor their mathematics education to the individual student.

Forcing a group of kids to not only rote learn formulas but also to rote learn formulas to solve problems that have no relevance to any of their interests in real life is the reason mathematics is so hated by so many people. Creating problems about “how many sweets can Gary buy if…” is such a poor attempt at making it interesting to kids it’s actually insulting. Educators need to start putting some proper effort in and stop treating kids like they’re robots.
True - but equating the US prison system to what is happening to them is an absurdity. It’s like if Nazi Germany said their camps weren’t that bad, after all, the US has prisons.
Even 2TB SSDs can be bought at < $130 now. Plus the fact that consumer motherboard usually have 2 m.2 slot. You can have 4TB of ultra fast storage on a normal consumer level computer without pcie extension cards. Which is overkill for most people. Most consumers probably don't even need that much storage space.
golang.org circa 2010:

That seems to me like they were trying to say "If you want C/C++ performance but nicer/easier syntax, you can use Go", which turned out to be not that true in the end.

A few billion is no problem. Simply collect the GDPR defined maximum fine of 4% of total global revenue from Microsoft, and use that to build the alternative. Provide that solution for self-hosting, so the cost of the infrastructure is payed for by the user organizations.
Once you do, why not just use slides since you're recreating the experience and using them in the same manner?

Maybe many would not destroy or abandon more like neglect or facilitate illicit activities. There is a lot of social work to be done but no one wants to pay for it.

There were (I think still are in many places) projects where municipality in Europe would create social housing and putting let's say "not that lucky people" in one place does not help but creates its own problems. Where just providing flats was not enough because later no one had time do social work or money to pay social workers.

I can say as a kid I was living in such a project, all of the "normal-city" people would refer to us as "special place" or "street of magic". Many people made their lives better or at least make it stable there. Some managed to burn down their flats creating problems for their neighbors. Then there was loads of shady stuff going on.
This feels like a lot of additional steps and protocols when you can use something like proxytunnel.
Has your father taken this to his city councillor? If nobody reports the problem the city will think things are fine and nothing will change.

Regardless I’m quite happy with my safe home. I know that it’s not going to kill me. In some regulations have we gone too far? Yes. Have we gone too far protecting our data? We barely have anything in place, so I applaud the EU on forging ahead.
You can, but at that point it’s much easier to break it up by slide, at least with the tooling we have that’s targeted at giving such presentations.
I like to think of it as “one less functional nuclear missile”, but that’s just me. People getting hit by them likely have a far different opinion.
I recently visited the memorial site. I found it highly inappropriate.

A few feet away from these people’s actual grave stones are cotton candy machines, music playing, crowds of people laughing. It couldn’t be more irreverent.

Then, to honor these presumably devout, pious Christians who were falsely accused of witchcraft, one of whose last words were, “I am wholly innocent”, 15 feet away we open a witchcraft shop operated and frequented by people who are serious about practicing witchcraft.

I get that the town is doing what it can to raise money but there could at least be a modicum of respect paid directly around these people’s graves. Shame on the town for doing this.

Are business allowed to use M365 if all of this open source investment fails to produce an equal-or-better solution? Or are businesses forced to operate with the result even if it’s terrible?
Exactly. The why is missing. The how is inadequate in a vacuum. Bright students make the connection on their own, but the others, even highly motivated ones, get left behind.

To make the problem worse, quite a lot of my former colleagues don't know the why themselves. They've always thrived on abstraction, and are unable to understand or help when motivated students come to them seeking the why.

Bit of a chicken and egg problem, really. The professors who made it did so without the why, and therefore don't understand the need for it.

I'm as guilty as anyone. I couldn't tell you much about where my PhD research came from and why. At least my calculus students got some context.
It involves sub licensing the entire suite to a EU entity. It is happening in France with Bleu (MS365 run by Capgemini and Orange): https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/orange-and-capgem...
> why do people want regulators to...

The first misconception is that governments do what people want. They do what serves their national and personal interests. What people want plays a rather small role in it. Far to often they do the exact opposite.

> I understand the hope is that companies will comply

Not at all, they can comply or fuck off. The US gov just runs things differently from the EU. They want full access to everything in secrecy and will hand over or sell data to corporations if it serves US interests.

It means for EU enterprise all information on suppliers, customers, orders, road maps, finances etc etc can be forwarded to your US competitors.

You also forget how easy it is to make software. If [say] Microsoft no longer wants to do it there will be others.

The whole point of the EU is to instruct how business is done here. It was specially designed to stand up to uncle Sam and his army of evil automatons.

Out of curiosity: does this lead to more identity theft (or misuse)?
It's extremely difficult to make new "cult" cinema deliberately; this kind of thing (especially the psychadelia influences) is simply out of style, and middle-budget pictures are vanishing.

The nearest thing you might find today .. maybe Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets? Luc Besson has some of the same pulp influences.

Maybe we just skip the middle steps and have the AI make the film.
Honestly I find this article too vague, and if you process large amounts of data you rarely do so with orderly reads and writes, even with databases optimized for fast disks (see rocksdb) have disks as a bottleneck even with the most recently developed hardware.

IMNHO the most likely outcome is that o365 will come to be GDPR compliant - and so business will be able to (continue to) deliver on government contracts building on o365.
Would you pad the pages? How would you know what's enough padding depending on screen proprtions/rotation during presentation? How do you align the "scroll step" to match your presentation padding?

If you address all of these, I think you end up with something that looks like a presentation, but the panels have a "slide up" animation/transition to simulate scrolling. So I guess this slide transition could end up being a compromise for people who really want that effect
Émilie du Châtelet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Émilie_du_Châtelet), mentioned at the beginning of the article, was a fascinating woman, living at a time when “natural philosophy” was morphing into different sciences. For a time she was also very active in the social scene. Like so many brilliant women of history (see Marry Wollstonecraft for another example), her biography ends in death during childbirth. Voltaire was her long time companion and lover (among many others), see this post for a look at their relationship: https://www.geriwalton.com/voltaire-emilie-du-chatelet/. For an in-depth coverage of her work, check out the Stanford Encyof Philosophy entry: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/emilie-du-chatelet/. Her life would make for a fantastic movie.

Maria Agnesi, of the Witch of Agnesi fame, was another woman mathematician whose life overlapped with du Châtelet‘s. She was also from a wealthy family (a must for being an educated female in those times) but she lived quite a different type of life, focusing on religion towards the end.

Additionally, if the slides have all the relevant content, the speaker is almost certainly doing it wrong. Slides are generally intended to be an outline, not a comprehensive paper.

Websites, on the other hand, have to be much more detailed to be useful.
Synchronous tools like meetings shine when a topic is ambiguous, contentious, or requires debate. You can have a dialog.

Asynchronous tools like email or even Slack are better for topics with less ambiguity, aren't controversial, or doesn't require a ton of back and forth.

Lastly, meetings are better for building relationships, trust, etc.
The same thing is true of many extremely normal companies, which are sold to foreign companies wanting to list themselves on American stock exchanges.

Hm. Ok. Tell it to my previous company running 12 million LoC of Python.

It was easier to make changes there than in the 500k loc c++ system I maintained later.

Language has nothing to do with success of large projects, it’s everything around it. The culture of the company, the cicd systems, the release system, the build system, packaging, documentation , rollback, dependencies.

And for large projects, you’re rolling a lot of those yourself.
To be honest, that's close to how it should be in an ideal world. But US companies went down the obviously-moronic path of treating social security numbers as passwords and now we're stuck.

Eventually the bulk of the world will probably end up with some sort of government-managed crypto-ID, but it's sure going to take the US a long time to get there.
Why would Microsoft (or Google, or anyone) continue to operate in Europe in that model? Seems like a recipe to go from an imperfect tech solution to none at all.

I thought William Dunham's Journey through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics did a great job of presenting the very real people and world behind several of results from history, from 400 BC (Hippocrates' Quadrature of the Lune) to recent-ish times (Cantor's transfinites).

There's discussions of feuds between mathematicians, how they used to keep results secret and literally duel over ideas (e.g. Cardano's chapter), the historical context and lives of the people who brought theorems into being (like Newton tasting his own chemicals as part of his alchemical research!), etc.
Both of you are pretty much saying the same thing. The US is officially secular and has no state-sanctioned religion…The situation is that a lot (majority?) of Americans are Christians, so their ideologies and beliefs obviously affect how they vote and, consequently, many laws in the country.
Like all signed overflow, it's undefined behavior in C and C++, so what exactly happens is up to the gods of optimizing compilers.
