No, those things are separate problems, not two ways of saying the same thing.

Tenants being destructive is a known issue. My mother had a tenant that put four undocumented pitbulls in the house and one dug it's way through the flooring. She had another that refused to pay rent or move out and had to wait for months to get an eviction order. All of that is purely money lost if you're renting to people with no assets.

What I was talking about with landlords being cheap on renovations has to do with the economics of the situation. For instance, my mother won't put granite countertops in a house or use the most expensive paint or even moderately expensive carpet. In her state, every property that's had an animal in it requires new paint and new carpets every time there's a new tenant. If she was putting the nicest stuff in the tenants she rents to now would never be able to afford her rates.

Where landlords get unjustifiably cheap is when they make repairs on the cheap that cause more issues for the tenant.
Even ipad handwriting recognition has weak points. For example, a q by itself will almost always turn into a 9. I wonder if PDAs had it right after all and we need to adapt our characters to make them more easily understood by machines.
Here is the benchmark output from the post:

news_app/ranges_and_joins/cached
time: [28.583 ms 29.001 ms 29.526 ms]

thrpt: [238.01 Kelem/s 242.11 Kelem/s 246.22 Kelem/s]

Given that 33.836/(1000/(242.11*1000)) ~= 8192, my understanding is the time reported here is how long it takes to do 8192 queries. Also it reports three metrics (should be min, median and max). All these means the benchmark harness did run the test for a lot of times and the 5 ms different is not random at all.
He claims that he gave equally. Is there any evidence / corroboration?
After reading about it, that's the impression I got as well. Why did they want to involve wormholes in this? Sending information faster than light is already awe-inspiring.

At least if that's what happened. I can't wait to see this replicated. I am optimistic but skeptical, given the reputation of physicists like Spiropulu and the exaggerated presentation.

I just had to help my grieving mother with house repairs all summer and she's steeped in exactly this easily mitigated outcome.

This sounds like wishful thinking, didnt he pay millions to BOTH parties ? He did play for the winning team, even if he also gave money to some losers.

The problem is not how many republicans he paid, it's how many democrats accepted.
The year was 1990. The school was the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. The leader of the group was Chris Cater. The resident assistant who was battered was Steve Dyker and this happened in front of South Hall, the dorm I lived in, although I wasn't there when that incident happened.

When Chris did this in front of witnesses he was expelled immediately although I did see him come back to sell drugs on campus a year later.

Before that incident the dean of students, Frank Etscorn, told me that it was just "my word against his" and that he could not press charges.

Chris was criminally minded and he certainly inspired a group of students into more criminal behavior than they would have done on their own. I don't believe that New Mexico Tech was much worse than other schools at this time, in fact around this time there were high profile incidents involving bullying and suicides of gay students at other schools.
I've never really bought this argument. There might be unethical growth hackers in the company, but A/B tests are not the problem in that situation.

In my experience, they mostly just catch bugs. Stuff like "hmm, our much better looking signup flow underperforms... oh, the form is broken on Safari." That kind of thing.
Yes, for example the relatively modern (didn't exist two years ago) implementation of IntoIterator for arrays themselves, gives you an iterator which doesn't use bounds checks since it is going to give exactly each of the things in the array once and it knows exactly how many of them there are.
As someone who's manufactured thousands of PCB designs, I couldn't disagree with this article/video more. Some tips he provides are aspects of good design, regardless of aesthetics, but a lot of what he suggests decreases manufacturability/yield. PCB designers should focus on making a robust, functional design and consult their manufacturer's manufacturing/process engineering team for advice on how to improve the manufacturability of the design. Almost never will those changes improve the aesthetics of the design.
Wow, who woulda thunk that Sirius XM would be the player here...

> We reported the issue to SiriusXM who fixed it immediately and validated their patch.
> the 250 kHz bit stream (which for physics reasons can't be the raw bit pattern the user wants to store)

Technically it's more reliability/engineering reasons. Physics doesn't care (you can basically write whatever bit pattern you like), but if there are more than two consecutive zeroes in the raw bitstream, the timing hardware can potentially be unsure if it was supposed to be three zeroes or four.
Most likely theory is that they actually want to use the data (or once did, and nobody deletes it because they think somebody else must need it).

In the more general case of data collection I believe people collect data simply because they can. I strongly believe that the PII collected by advertisers and others is mostly never used. A liability they take on with no benefit.
> It is intensely weird to me that people hold the opinion that their company is building something that is bad for the world, and yet they stay there and continue to help build it.

Not really. People fear change. Engineers at Meta almost certainly have good pay, work with people they like, have a generally comfortable life.
I teach people how to protect themselves from emotional attacks. What I've seen is that most of us who attack others often believe we were attacked first.

So I don't know if "bullies" necessarily think they've been bullied per say, however I feel quite confident they believe they feel attacked in some way (rejected, guilt tripped, ignored, blamed, etc).

So with this in mind, I try to teach anyone to learn how to respond better to these attacks because I think we counterattack more than we may realize.

Spotify doesn't allow me to replace their payment processor with my own or provide a full API to allow me to build a fully-fledged thirty party client.
Pretty long article to say some simple things.

Well said, though. It's pretty straightforward they shouldn't have used the customer funds, or tied Alameda so closely to the exchange.

It's still a bit slapstick though. I can see some young kids with no organisation falling into "oh let's borrow some from the customers, I bet banks do it all the time". It's still wrong of course but with the whole nerd act you might wonder whether there was any genuine thought about whether it was allowed. Even if you don't know the rules, you have to follow them.

The whole thing beggars belief. How they got that big, while playing video games, having no oversight, with backing from real names. And then blew up seemingly in the space of a few days, but possibly "mortality wounded" for a long while before.
They can still tell the number of downloads, thus the number of users using this when a new language model update is released.
I'm officially naming these "bashtags".
It's hilarious how nobody is pointing out the extreme irony of microsoft and google calling anyone elses software spyware. I'd rather have my bank password leaked by some brazillian than my web browser, purchase, location, social connections, interests, and work activities leaked by big tech and stored in perpetuity.
Perhaps an example would be - we no longer have location data for users, but we do have time of activity, so we can presume that during daylight hours in the USA most of our activity is coming from there, things like that.

But with more inputs and such.
Apple has had poor support for PWA's for a very long time - the CacheStorage was limited to a useless size, still no Web Push Notifications, just generally broken and noncomplaint.

You excel at using insults in place of any form of logical argument. This has happened in other discussions. The bad news is reality does not care.

Have a great day.

Fair enough. I guess I just don't understand how that would possibly work for the model I've got. The lid is at the top, and the electronics are at the bottom, and outside of the water. There is a clear container of water separating the lid and the electronics. The lid is a thin piece of plastic, there's really nothing to it. I'm still convinced it's just a timer for this model, or at best it measures the water coming out of the spigot:

That's because you're forgetting the temporal domain. As in GP's example, a count alone may not mean much, but a time series of counts will allow you to uniquely identify a subset of the users.
FYI GIMP's bitcoin donation wallet currently contains 362K USD. It peaked at about 1.2M USD a few months ago (yay btc volatility).

Funding isn't what's holding GIMP back. Leadership is.

They also accept a dozen other donation methods.
Post-It notes are a safer option than password managers. And it's absolutely outrageous to say this: But not every single account you have needs a unique password. Just ones which can actually allow someone to impersonate you meaningfully, cost you money, or gather sensitive data about you.

Response to @palata because of rate-limiting: The problem is people tend not to only put unimportant accounts in their password managers. They also put their bank and email passwords in there, and to my true horror: People have started storing their TOTP tokens in their password managers, which effectively reimplements single-factor authentication!

"You know what? I would steal a car. If it was as easy as, like, touching the car and then 30 seconds later I own the car. And like, I would steal a car if by stealing the car, the person who owned the car they got to keep the car. And uh, I would also steal a car if no one I had ever met had ever bought a car before in their whole lives." -- Mindy Kaling
Oh ... so in dystopian Snow Crash (I read up on it) there is a also dystopian virtual reality named Metaverse. Well, I wonder i Zuck knew about that.

Interesting that the book essentially seems to render the "gig economy" as some dystopian element. Quite good prediction.

What is this supposed to be an argument for? Do you think this is an own? Is this statement made in good faith? Did you really let your 10th grade economics teacher tell you what a "monopoly" was and then never question either the usefulness or the validity of the definition?
MIT grad, ex Jane Street trader, comes from lawyer-professor family, garnered VC capital from big names like Kevin O'Leary and lead the pitches.

Dude knew what he was doing and if he didn't it was done out of such criminal negligence that he's still to blame.
Added to that, wait until all cars are electric, and they filter down the secondhand market.

The average price of a 10-year old car in the UK, as of Sept 2022, is £6100 - pretty much the same as a replacement battery pack, which will be due after 8-10 years.

That’s going to have quite an effect on 3rd owners of cars, who buy 8-10 year old cars, especially if they have the added costs of subscriptions to deal with.
Ok but groups like the Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club are not a trivial account (or frankly even a journalist). They're a radical antifa group who follow people (include government agents) officials around with guns, openly assaulting them, and has been part of deadly riots. It's like the proud boys x2

I also wouldn't call Andy Ngo, a gay asian journalist who's spoken in front of congress, far right. He basically records riots in Portland and uploads them to twitter, and he's only right wing in the sense that more republicans watch his videos than democrats

Not normally on delete. (Most common exception: you're trying to delete an active mountpoint.)

Where most people see that is attempting to mutate a currently running executable. That's forbidden, as it would lead to executing essentially random code. You can replace what file the filename points to, with rename.
Your “no true crypto-bro” argument is unpersuasive. The entirety of cryptocurrency is based on selling later to greater fools, even for hodlers with hardware wallets.
Except that it isn't a duopoly.

There are hundreds of phones available and most have different variations of Android with their own features and restrictions.
Bad corporate culture is not always a crime in and of itself, but it does encourage crime. If a company has bad corporate culture, you can find crimes associated to that culture.

I will also say that many people in crypto did not want to look down and see that they were standing on air. This does not excuse FTX or SBF. They had lawyers that told them to implement corporate controls and they ignored that advise.
Congratulations!

GIMP is great for what it is. As a dev I use it frequently to do minor adjustments to images and photographs; cropping, colors, brightness, resizing, rotation etc.

Right after Inkscape, GIMP is probably my second favorite "I'm actually a bit of a designer myself"-tool. Both do more than enough - again and again - for me to not need outside help, they no doubt give me an edge!

For those - probably designers - in need of more features, just go ahead and pay for it! There's no reason to mock GIMP for not matching the features of Photoshop.

It seems really hard to find grounds to sue these spyware vendors that don't equally apply to security researchers doing the kind of work that makes spyware less viable overall.
Even if it was a “gradual” process it’s 10+ years. How do you talk to the people of that nation without learning any English? What about anything to do with documentation or the government?

Integrating into a society can mean many things but the FIRST step of that should be learning the local language to be able to talk to locals.

By the way, I’m American. Anyone who lives here for that long without learning English is what I’m talking about.

"Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness"
Hi, given the layoffs, firings, and resignations, I think the claim "Our Trust & Safety team... remains strong and well-resourced..." is the one that has the burden of proof.

The second claim is absolutely more nuanced, and I admit, will be much harder to falsify.
Being a soldier is more than just about fighting in war. It’s about handling difficulties. It’s about constantly being on the move even when you are tired. It is about protecting your comrades. It is about containing your anger in difficulty. It is about discipline. It is about management, leadership, camaraderie. It is about being human.

It is about way more stuff than that. And maybe one day someone will share everything it is and more. Or maybe like me you willl just keep wondering and keep learning.
First M2 Max benchmark scores appear to leak on Geekbench
There's a lot of literature on this sort of question. Many people start with a core idea and then iterate on it through various lenses to arrive at an execution path which will further change over time. Thus, in many cases concept ideation is less like 'immaculate conception', and rather more like enthusiastic learning and responding to new information to evolve rationally using increasingly complex and nuanced models.

Nominally objective information is often overrated and conservative investment and finance cultures often place undue emphasis on it. Instead of appeals to authority in citations, investors understand blue ocean markets exist, yesterday's statistics don't necessarily apply tomorrow and execution is king. They typically want big picture, order-of-magnitude, differentation and moats. Thus the semantic norm for investor-focused projections, if you need them in your space, is a section called 'assumptions' where well cited upper, lower and rational guesstimate values can be plugged in to the model to visualize potential returns.

If you download the PAC list and sum it up it totals:

Right: 23.2

Bullying is enabled by a power imbalance. For those without the ability to rectify the power imbalance, teaching resilience both helps in the short-term and is a useful skill for the large fraction of the population who will one day end up in a job where there is a n abuse of a power imbalance, but they can't quit if they also want to eat.

As the parent of both a bully and a victim (two different kids), I can say that correcting the bullying behavior is not as easy as it might seem. Many (most?) bullies are charming and manipulative and most victims are not, so convincing those who have the ability to correct the power imbalance is quite challenging.

I could make a laundry list of examples just from my own direct experience, but I'll limit it to one:

(Pre COVID, as it does involve tech in the class room, which changed a lot in 2020).

We refused the school-issued Chromebook for my daughter and the administration agreed that she could do all of her work on paper. One of her teachers "didn't feel right singling her out" and "she is such a good kid" so without telling us gave our daughter the classroom Chromebook to do in-class assignments, which she used to cyber-bully a classmate to the point that the child left the school and the child's parents, who were previously friends with my wife, will no longer talk to us.
I think you've missed the argument.

Nobody is arguing that the Money Multiplier [1] doesn't exist. Nobody is arguing that a bank run won't cause loss of deposit (ignoring FDIC).

The argument is whether a bank takes in say $10 of deposits to then loan out $10 OR if a bank "generates" $10 at-will to make a loan of $10.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_multiplier
I think the majority of Ponzi Schemes are ran by adults, too.
Especially when the "perceived value" is avoiding a loss.

If I come in and cut the bottom line by $15 million, I'm amazing.

If I come in and fix a problem that was going to raise the bottom line by $15 million, I'm amazing for about five minutes and then forgotten.
Yep. I got my ass kicked in the playground by a much larger kid. Completely unprovoked. I came home crying, my dad told me to return to the playground and hit him back. I insisted that I couldn't, he's much larger and stronger.

"Get a piece of wood then"

I did. As I approached the playground, I felt ridiculous. This wood still wouldn't do anything. To my surprise, the bully fled the scene, clearly afraid.

This incident has taught me a lot. It wasn't the wood that did it. It was the fact that I came back. He could now easily kick my ass again, wood or not. But I might come back yet again, and what (or who) will I bring next time?

From fearful to being feared. A pure mind play.

I do not believe in the perfect world-to-be where one day we've eradicated all bullies and other bad actors by educating them. Life will test you and learning to stand your ground and retaliate is a skill I wish we didn't need, but most definitely need. Address the problem from both angles at once.
> However, it turns out that category theory is equivalent to type theory (ie, what computers use).

Just to elaborate on this a little, a program of type B in context of variables of types A1, A2, ..., An, can be modeled as an arrow (A1 * A2 * ... * An) -> B. (More elaborate type theories get, well, more elaborate.) The various ways you might put programs together (e.g. if-expressions, loops, ...) become various ways you can assemble arrows in your category. Sequential composition in a category is the most fundamental, since it describes dataflow from the output side of one program to the input site of another; but the other ways of composing programs together appear as additional structure on the category.

Categories take "semicolon" as the most primitive notion, and that's all a category really is. In fact, if you've heard monads called "the programmable semicolon", it's because any monad induces a related category whose effectful programs `a ~> b` are really pure programs `a -> m b`, where `m` is the monad.
In a twisted way, yes.
