The lawsuit is alleging that he is being penalized for cheating in a game that he did not cheat.

Afaik, nobody is arguing that you can't punish somebody for breaking a rule. He even was banned in the past for cheating. However, you can't use an already punished infraction to issue a second infraction. Hans is claiming that he's been blacklisted from a bunch of tournaments as a result of a very unproven claim he cheated in the Sinquefield Cup.
Thanks for this! Good to add to the ol' repertoire (:

The turkey is simply wrong in its inductive reasoning. Your hunger tomorrow will be a consequence of the forward causal process of metabolism. That the turkey's demise occurs specifically on thanksgiving day is partly determined by a cultural attitude having its origin in past events.

Aristotle, of course, used a broader ontology of causes than is commonly used today, but there should be no confusion if we are careful to define what we mean. In particular, final causes are more commonly regarded as psychological attitudes, whereby if someone acts now to bring about a certain circumstance in the future, the circumstance is caused by what they were thinking prior to the action.
Top Developer conferences for 2023, maybe useful for training budget planning
IIRC they don't get a "tax write-off" in the traditional sense of lowering their previous tax liability. They have $X in extra revenue, but take a deduction for those $X, so it works out in the end.

But the other tangiable benefits are:

- Company makes big news about donating "$X million dollars to charity", which was really customers money

- Company holds on to $X in money until it's actually donated (which may be in a lump sum at the end of the year). In the meantime, they're earning interest or otherwise using funds.

These points feel unrelated to whether he is breaking the license terms. I mention in another comment the whole email cycle bit seems unnecessarily tedious, but so is irc.
Yes. I point is that even if your motives have nothing to do with safety, assuming you can make a credible argument, it makes perfect sense that you'd attack the laws on "safety" grounds, since the presumed positive safety effect is really the only supporting argument for the laws.

tl;dr: if there was an oracle that could tell us definitively that mandatory helmet laws don't improve safety, I think we'd see mandatory helmet laws repealed pretty much everywhere.
There are at least two possible approaches:

1. just adc, and work with time series. Could be easy done on modern soft/hard, but slow.

2. create Fourier transform, or use digital filters, to filter out noise (usually by filter out some frequencies) and get some sort of time-frequency table.
Than easy match your sound by Bayes, with simple formula, something like: result = k[0]f[0]+k[1]f[1]+...+k[n]*f[n], f - frequency amplitude from FFT. Than just if (result > 0.8): matched = true.
Just need to find right coefficients. May be, you will need to do 2-dimension matching, with sequence of sequential FFTs, this is not much harder.

South Africa's weapons were made with enriched uranium [1]. Blending highly enriched uranium into power reactor fuel is relatively straightforward. The weapons discussed in this article are made with plutonium. There are a few facilities in the world for blending plutonium with uranium for power reactor fuel, but none that are designed to handle weapons grade plutonium. The US tried to build such a facility but it went badly over budget and over schedule and was cancelled: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33868375

> Now, isn't your reaction, upon reading this, some version of: "Whaaat? Views are not materializations - by definition, they are essentially the opposite of materializations

I'd never heard of dbt before today but from a quick scan of that page it's clear to me what a that 'materialization' is in dbt. It's not the same as a SQL 'materialized view'; it could be a SQL view, an SQL table, a CTE, or a table with extra machinery for incremental updating.

In my experience in software it's common for similar words to be used for different concepts in different contexts. I think the dbt documentation is well done so I don't see a big issue.
I'd still upgrade but Windows migration tool says my CPU (which is supported) isn't supported because it isn't modern enough (it's a core i7). So the upgrade just fails.
I'm preparing to finally part ways with my long-suffering '94 Saturn wagon[0] and I cannot believe what we've given up in rear visibility in the last 30 years. Part of it is definitely safety (and I know how poorly my little wagon and I would fare in any crash) but I think another part of it is the high-belted, steeply sloping styling of newer cars. The Saturn has a tall greenhouse that stays tall all around with a low beltline[1], which looks irredeemably dorky compared to everything on the road today, but it's low enough to see a toddler running behind me while I'm preparing to back up. It makes me a little sad that I will probably never again have the opportunity to drive a car with visibility that good.

It's fine. I only use Windows to play games and Auto HDR is a decent feature.

But it's just riddled with design inconsistencies, PM driven "features" like Teams in the taskbar, and advertisements. I've been pointing family members at Chromebooks.
Yeah, fair enough. That is a good point. Well said.
I wish this was more widely understood. It's relevant when talking about the danger of ubiquitous/dragnet surveillance; it's relevant to our habits around communication, and consumption of media. Friction is a key determining factor in human behavior.
Don’t worry I know biologists do it. The field is plagued by a general lack of rigour and a strong bias towards finality.
That's a clever hack, which I wish I had known about.. and I love the unintended consequence of "BBS Roulette"
It is unclear, at least, whether the company can claim a tax benefit on additional money paid over the income from the sale. Generally these things are treated as liabilities (like sales tax) instead of income. Even if they did, they would have to count that money as income and then deduct it from the taxable income, which would be a wash, assuming their accounting is above-board. On the other hand, they may have some sleight of hand that allows them to do so. This would be a pretty big deal. Supposedly, register donations account for over $450 million in donations to charity each year. [1] (Again, not sure how that's calculated). There could be upwards of $150 million in unpaid taxes.

That sounds like what Triplebyte is trying to do - vet candidates then provide the list to hiring managers. There are other consulting firms doing the same thing. So the idea is valid - it is mostly a question of such a company building enough trust that everyone is willing to work with their candidate list.
You can read the title to also mean 10k infotainment systems which I imagine there to be some more than makes of car. Even still 10k is a lot!

Possibly software version than hardware. Still high to me. How many different Android phone systems are there?
These stories are awful - this wasn't just an administrative headache for people, they served real time and has real consequences.

Filing a false police report is a crime, it would be nice to see that enforced against the company in one way or another.
What's the tax treatment exactly and in what jurisdiction? I was under the impression that business cannot claim the donations made by their customers for tax purposes.
Ask HN: Personal Asset Management
There was a recent thread that highlighted the difficulty people have in managing their digital assets to handover to a spouse or others in the event of their death. I think there's still a huge gaping hole when it comes to a product that manages all your personal assets. I was just curious to know if anyone knows of a product like that or if you have a process/collection of docs?

My asset management is basically all in my head. Not ideal but I never trusted password managers and I don't like the idea of writing everything down. I've just gotten to the point of doing it for general living expenses, bills and bank accounts but nothing else.
My company [1] offers this as a managed services and we’re very happy with hetzners offerings for the K8s ecosystem. Fairly easy to use a variety of tools to get K8s up and running reliably (we roll our own solution though)

Seems one of the big issues here is that almost nobody will use bikesharing when needing to wear a helmet as people would rarely have a helmet available when wanting to rent a bike. I wonder how it would look if all rental bikes had a helmet included.
SpaceX Unveils Starshield
That's basically the point I'm making.
The vast majority of people don't care. Netflix's recommendation algorithm helped take down physical video rental stores and TikTok's algorithm is taking out Instagram, Facebook, and even YouTube.

Vinyl is particularly annoying to deal with. Even a small collection gets unwieldy quickly. I prefer physical books to ebooks but physical books are annoying to deal with, too. I've just given up on physical books for the most part. Typewriters are a joke; surely nobody believes they will come back to use in significant numbers.

The real problem is that AI art will be faster to produce and be completely indistinguishable from human art. People for the most part prefer the path of least resistance.
So basically we will have AGI in 10 years?
The fact that Wallstreetbets and superstonk have picked up on this is a sure indication to me that this means absolutely nothing at all. Their track record approaches 0%
The OECD has just published it's updated Pensions Outlook which explains to governments how to implement Asset Backed Tontine style pensions to make the global pensions sector more financially robust and to better serve the needs of retirees.

The team here at Tontine Trust (https://tontine.com) are committed to adding a "Proof of Reserves" feature that will prevent the above quoted shenanigans by exposing the assumptions being relied upon to keep the auditors happy but that the pension funds may not want their members or the public at large to know.

It's mostly political problem of "it's safer to store it in some bunker than to literally ship nuclear bomb material to power plants". At least according to wikipedia there are reactors in US that were built to also take MOX but it's just not done. And process of production/reprocessing also is harder.

I'm sure it would be far cheaper to burn it than store otherwise.
> If someone breaks the chain then they take my bike, the helmet is the least of my concerns.

Why not? A good bike helmet is several hundred dollars. That's not life-altering money of course, but it adds a decent percentage to the cost of replacing the stolen bike.
Some stable diffusion interfaces let you specify a "negative input" which will bias results away from it. It wouldn't be terribly hard to do some semantic interpretation prior to submission to the model that would turn "not a <thing>" into "negate-input <thing>"

When everything is garbage, shadow profiles will mean nothing, social credit scores will mean nothing, analytics will mean nothing. Centralization can be turned on its head - the watering hole will be revealed to be the dangerous cesspit it is. Create art until what can be monetized has no value. Create news that never happened, scoops that are only a distant fiction, until nothing on the internet can even be meaningfully reported on.

What rights are 'slipping through' fingers here? While digitization of surveillance might make folks uncomfortable, the rights in question are mostly settled, and have been for a while. The US long operated on court precedent that one doesn't have a general expectation of privacy for one's image in public places, and next to zero expectation of privacy in airports.
American social media doesn't have a good reputation.
I hate this ridiculously unfair double standard. If someone costs a company money, we ruin their life. If a company ruins someone's life, we charge the company money.

If a cashier at a fast food restaurant takes $30 from the register, they go to jail. If a company steals millions from their workers paychecks, we slap them with a tiny fine.
I'm not expecting the author to continue work on mIRC in perpetuity. If they want to decide they're done and stop updating mIRC, that would be totally ok in my book.

What is unethical, in my opinion, is to continue updating mIRC and not honor the agreement you made with some of your earliest supporters, even if you kinda regret that agreement now.
Here is a link to the CVS Health site about the arrangement: https://www.cvshealth.com/social-responsibility/our-giving/n...

Here is a link to the ADA webpage about the announcement: https://diabetes.org/newsroom/press-releases/2021/10-million...

It seems like CVS said they would donate 10MM to the ADA, and is satisfying that arrangement by collecting money from customers and other donors.

I am unsure as to whether this is 'normal', and it definitely seems unsavory, but it's not clearly illegal. It also seems like this sort of fundraising would be very useful to the ADA, as it helps them raise money from donors they would otherwise have trouble getting in front of.

> Yes, some of that is people who would rather not bike at all than bike safely, and there are some non-linear effects from that, but it's still a net reduction in injuries.

Doubtful, since it raises the number of miles driven in cars, which would increase the number of injuries there.

No, it's that he's chosen to compete in a game that is inherently based around trust. He's admitted to breaking that trust and he's being punished for it.
But that's not what they do, if they're doing it legally.

Let's say I'm making and selling coffee, and I ask each customer to donate an additional dollar toward a local orphanage. At the end of the month, I've collected $10k in revenue and $500 in donations, the $500 isn't mine to donate, it's my customers', which I'm donating on their behalf. If I go to the orphanage and donate $500 and pocket the $500 from customers as revenue, that's illegal.

This is exactly what this lawsuit is alleging.

I agree that hte headline is deceiving, $80TN is not the right number

The correct number is closer to $26 tn , based on the BIS report and the REAL risk is the market risk exposure to equity from the assets that these loans fund.

In these contracts the borrowers lose money when the value of the asset they hold deviates from FX. if you borrow $500mm to buy AAPL stock and AAPL stock is down 10% you lose $50mm dollars. You needed to post 476MM EUR at the beginning with the expectation of receiving the same amount in 7 days and on that same day you would pay the USD 500mm you borrowed back.

You expect to do this 1000's of times, or until you sell AAPL stock.

If at the same time EURUSD moves from 1.05 to 1 when it comes time to "roll" your transaction, you need to find an extra 25mm EUR. Now the $500mm of debt requires 500mm EUR of collateral. If AAPL was up, you could sell some of it to cover the roll, if its down like in my example you have a $50mm and EUR 25mm are real equity losses.

I think these swaps are not on balance sheet because of accounting history. Generally the swap is described above woudl be held as a EUR 25mm derivatives payable. so on the balance sheet it goes from 0 to $25mm liability.

The REAL balance sheet, in addition show a EUR 475mm asset, a loan receivable & a 500mm borrowing a loan payable.

Unlike single currency derivatives , you MUST pay the full notional at maturity, you do not get to just net the $25mm owed, so generally your only options are to buy USD outright, using equity or local currency borrowing, in the entire size then send it to the counterparty, or to sell the USD asset to cover.

Also you are getting margined every day so it eats into equity...

I think the title should be changed to "Mandatory Helmet Laws reduces Bike Share usage which results in fewer bikes on the road".
I think the more realistic need to produce new nuclear weapons is that for some reason parts availability for the existing ones becomes a maintenance problem. If Warhead A requires Part B which must be produced via an industrial process that was last widely used in the '70s, you no longer have a credible warhead.

It may not even be possible to spin that process back up even on a bespoke basis because it may depend on yet further now-outdated processes. Even if that's not the case, executing to a high enough degree of precision for the application may depend on a lot of now-lost trade knowledge.

But yeah, apart from the sustainment problem, there's definitely no way that replacing 80% of the US nuclear arsenal matters if the warheads were expended in anger or destroyed on the ground by nuclear weapons.

Ask HN: What do we do with all these shovels?
I'm just a boring enterprise java dev most of the time, but over the last year or so have been amazed by what can be done offline with the new AI tools that are getting so much deserved attention. With only a shallow understanding of the concepts behind things like GPT/Dall-E/StableDiffusion/Whisper, I think many of us are justifiably overwhelmed and even anxious about the implications.

The world will catch on once a few killer apps establish better footholds, but we're not at all prepared for what's coming. ( omg doom and gloom :D )

It's as though we're in the middle of a gold rush, and most of us are using shovels. But a few new technologies just showed up, allowing tiny teams to create factories capable of generating bespoke solutions like self-guided/self-healing electric razor shovels, and quadruple edged camouflaged scanning bean shovel, etc..

Whichever shovel factories come out on top is somewhat irrelevant, though we'll probably some new billionaries in this area soon.

The thing I'm excited about most is that this will allow some 10x developer/creator types to become 10^x once they master the right combination of skills.
