Perfectly average geographers on HN represent! I feel like seeing another GISer in the tech world is like seeing someone from your country while on vacation. You’ve just got to say hi because it feels so rare.

Yes, it's a projection of fantasies, however your conclusion in unnecessarily pessimistic. It could be that these fantasies come from mass media.

When we know nothing about a topic (UNKNOWN), anything stated about it in the positive seems plausible -> Art creators play with the UNKNOWN (supernatural, aliens, <insert any person/place/thing that we know little-to-nothing about>) to add plausibility -> The content of that medium becomes the first contact with the UNKNOWN for many people -> When the UNKNOWN becomes known then people still have the ideas that were propagated -> We get to your comment.

It's not necessarily that people have a world domination complex.
GP didn’t say it was, and in fact mentioned another branch of tech world that gets enormous real estate in the public consciousness (crypto).

How good are you at solving moderately difficult quantum mechanics problems?

Maybe you're the exception, but when I meet people who've learned quantum mechanics from books, they've soaked up all the cool weird stuff, but can't write an equation.

Disclosure: I don't know how I would have learned physics without classroom instruction. I was viscerally interested in it, and in math, but didn't have the self discipline to do the work without some guidance.
Largely I think it’s projection because their guy let off many of his coconspirators. So from that view, it’s easy to think others would do the same.
The SEC is not an enforcement agency and thus cannot give "sweetheart deals".
I am not a math teacher. I have not taught professionally in a long time, and even then it was temporary and not in math. But I know Calc II in particular is an interesting crucible in terms of students' abilities to learn from an internet module.

I work in the software industry and serve on committees/boards for several schools with which I have various affiliations.

I speak with all types of employers for all types of students, in my capacity as a member of those committees/boards. Ranging from high school dropouts finishing their high school diploma later in life to masters students. My comments here are mostly about traditional undergraduate students, though.
This is highly frustrating and it sucks.

Also Google is totally doing the right thing here. The slow down and wait is precisely the thing that protects you from identity theft if somebody waits until your phone is turned off, clones your SIM, and pretends to be in precisely this situation.

Hopefully in THAT case, you notice the "somebody is trying to get into your account" and say "no, this is a hack attempt".

Good luck.
> surround the reaction chamber with molten FLiBe or lead-lithium

So manufacturing fusion reactors would use a lot of lithium, which is already in short supply. That would be an interesting complication with the demand of lithium for electric vehicle batteries. Maybe the Li supply situation will be eased by then.
While I'm inclined to agree, when it comes to developers with a strong reputation for making fun competitive games, I can understand how it could make sense to just jump in immediately with lots of money.

The goal is obviously that if you make a big investment into a competitive scene, that may attract top tier talent from other games, and that talent will itself bring in more regular players and viewers.
You bring up a good point about dogs. The carbon footprint of pet dogs these days is incredible, all so people can virtue signal while they walk around outside picking up fresh poop from the animal they keep in a stroller.
Yes, I think the government absolutely will try and it's quite probable they will succeed. But why not offer human beings the _chance_ to flee tyranny with their livelihood?

Consider jews fleeing Nazi Germany. Should they have been allowed to escape with their assets? Would the world be a better place had they been able to?
RAID 0 should be called AID, since it’s not really RAID.
I don’t think that’s true at all. There’s no reason to believe a senior engineer is good at teaching or even wants to. I’m not even sure it’s a great use of their time.

Often there’s enough complexity where you need juniors to cease an opportunity to become the go-to on something as well.

Sure. I agree.

I'm a vim head too and tried to embrace emacs, because it seems the de facto standard, but I eventually realized it was dumb to trade my editor of choice for that reason, especially at the same time I'm learning a new language. So I ventured into Fireplace and the paredit equivalent (It's been a while so I forget the name) and I was much more comfortable with that setup. Also, I'm equally as comfortable in "standard" editors, like VS Code, since I have to use Visual Studio for work most of the time (vim plugins are ok, I just don't mind context switching, feels like it keeps the mind sharp). I've tried Calva for Clojure dev in VS Code and I think it's just as nice as the other setups. I don't think anyone using an "alternative" setup is going to miss out on any of the "big ideas" that make Clojure dev so nice. I suggest sticking with vim, at least to start.

I've never had the opportunity to use Clojure in production projects but, as an exercise in learning the langue, I did a library that I've had to rewrite for many production systems (can't copy paste across companies), in various languages, over the past 15 years, and I liked the end result of the Clojure version way more than any other. It was objectively shorter and easier to reason about. Even the insane, invalid XML parsing that has to be done to integrate with a third-party interface. Just hope I get to use it, in a pragmatic sense, someday.
Precisely this

Very few founders have problems with VCs prior to serious equity raises

Once you're raising 100M is when investors get the froth of IPO around their mouths and around when you start having issues

Fast forward 5 years into being an IPO company and now all those "Myths" are what you are spending 50% of your time as a CEO dealing with - that is unless you have Zuckerburged ownership (so rare as to be basically impossible), in which case you really only bought yourself time

God help you if you miss more than a quarter of revenues or have a down round. Kiss your ownership goodbye immediately

So yes, the author is right and the first few years of VC money are great! You pay the price with interest (literally) on the back end

No, progressive tax rate is actually equalizer, rather than what you think.
I'd see it as a single point of failure, but not necessarily a single factor. If the password is compromised due to a problem on the application side, they still can't get in to your account without the TOTP code.

Of course the threat model is kinda skewed because this case is more applicable when one's reusing passwords or using weak passwords, which shouldn't be happening if you're using a password manager.

Maybe a more relevant threat is password gets compromised from a MITM attack, in which case they still don't have access to your TOTP
I have long wondered if two factor authentication actually causes more economic harm than it solves - it just doesn’t cause that harm to be noticeably all in one place (the harm is spread to millions of users who will lose access at some point during their lives rather than concentrated on the company that implements TFA dealing with fraud).

It feels like it might.

This isn’t counting the productivity that’s lost to actually using the TFA system successfully, which is probably measurable on a population level.
Some early Web forum software packages were vulnerable to SQLi and XSS and that was pretty nifty.

What I found more entertaining was that two of the biggest names of the era were also vulnerable to commands to terminate forum text entry boxes, and begin displaying other parts of the page. Thus, a creative security tester could end the text fields box, and add commands to display other things.

Because part of this was interpreted server side, and partly client side, it was like a two for 1 enabling command execution server-side, and opening up the door for client side nefariousness too.

I'm not that confident actually. Overall, I think it's more likely than not that dark matter exists. But I'm not 100% sure it exists either, for the reasons I listed, and more.

For example, here's a quote from the book "An Introduction to Modern Cosmology" by Andrew Little (third edition, published in 2015, page 70):

It is just about possible given present observations that this matter can be entirely baryonic, since this is marginally consistent with Equation (9.3). However, many models based on low-mass stars and/or brown dwarfs have been excluded adn it is probably difficult to make up all of the halo with them. A popular alternative is to suggest that this density is in some new form of matter, which is non-baryonic and only interacts extremely weakly with conventional matter.

It looks like you are entirely convinced that dark matter exists beyond any reasonable doubt. Good for you. In the end, this doesn't affect your life or my life all that much.
I was performing as the principal bassoonist in a symphonic band concert. We played a piece or two, the audience clapped, and when I sat down, I looked down and one of the pads had fallen off one of the highest keys. The pad is what seals the hole allowing the instrument to play different notes. Since I effectively had a leak at the very top of my instrument, I literally was incapable of playing anything at all. The bassoon turned into a squeaky toy.

Anyways, as we began the 3rd piece, I looked at the 2nd bassoonist and told her she would have to play all the solos (which she hadn’t prepared for).

At intermission, I had a crazy idea, so I found my sister in the audience and asked her if she had a stick of gum. To my delight she did, so I chewed it up, stuck it to the back of the pad, and put the pad back on the instrument. To my surprise the hack worked, and I was able to complete the rest of the concert.

tl;dr: My snot nosed 20 year old self violated a school-owned $20,000 instrument with 10 cents worth of chewing gum at intermission, but managed to play all my solos, and then afterwards learned how to properly reseat pads with a lighter.
That is not exactly true. When StarCraft 2 came out there was a big push by Blizzard to kill StarCraft 1 (Brood War).

Blizzard tried to force the leagues and players to play both games at the same time.

I remember very well how SC2 fans on websites like teamliquid wanted to "kill" Brood War too, so SC2 would somehow get more viewers.

Blizzard didnt really know what to do with Brood War's popularity.
I applied for a job at a medical cannabis operation in Canada right before legalization hit.

I was curious to see if they had checked out my personal website, so I grabbed my webserver logs and I recognized one IP from the city the job was based in. More than likely, the public IP of the business in question.

On a whim, I ran the IP through Shodan.io and it showed that 47808 was open - The BACNet protocol. I had no idea what this protocol was, but I was able to download some odd enterprisey software that had the ability to speak BACnet. I connected to the IP:Port and found a long list of connected things - water levels, temperatures, lights, and more.

I wasn't interested in doing anything questionable with this information. I'm not even certain it allowed me to do anything more than look, but I like to think I could have e.g. turned off lights or adjusted temperatures in the grow rooms. I made the (risky) executive decision to let the hiring manager know that their public IP had an important port open to the world. I wound up getting hired by that business, and the first task I was assigned was to fix the open port.

I'm not sure if that counts as "hacking", but I was proud of finding the vulnerability / misconfiguration nonetheless.
Yes but the only way repeated cooperation can be maintained is if players can “punish” defectors by also defecting for a certain # of turns (thus making the PV of breaking ranks and defecting < keeping cooperating for every player).

SBF’s situation is different in that the game ends as soon as someone defects.
Why only now?
It's simple. If you assume the real possibility of losing your digital account, then act like you'll lose it tomorrow. Adjust your life and move on. I don't care about digital accounts. I switch my main mail and phone every few years just for the sake of it. I avoid buying stuff bound to digital account. My accounts are disposable and have zero value other than nostalgic one.

I didn't lose a single account yet. I have printed backup codes, I have password manager, I have passwords backup in a text file on thumb drive, two copies. I have my domain held by registrar in my country, so I can just visit their office with my ID and talk with them. So I take some reasonable measures to protect myself. But I have no fear of losing those digital assets.

I actually gave a thought about protecting myself by creating a single 100% reliable email and then bind other accounts to that mail. Believe it or not: I didn't find any provider which would satisfy me. My worst case scenario: I'm going to jail for 20 years. Every free provider will delete my account after few years of inactivity. Paid providers usually are small enough so I wouldn't trust them anyway. My current plan is using my own domain with autopayment and enough balance on account. But of course that's not reliable. Registrar might just go bankrupt. And I can't really reserve my domain for 50 years no matter how much money would I pay.
My best guess is that a small part of the billions went towards mansions in the Bahamas, another small part went towards political bribes, and a rather large part went to various counterparties that traded against Alameda.

It's pretty easy to lose any amount of money if you're paying $10 for $5 bills.
> With the exception of a small percent of the population this isn’t true. Most people don’t have the ability, patience, wherewithal to self study a topic in depth

I don't disagree, but didn't feel the nuance added meaningful information to my post.

Most of these people also are unlikely to complete an online course - ed tech has a hard time reproducing the "social pressure" aspect of education. It's worth noting that there's also a larger population of people who've achieved a bachelor's level of competence through study + work e.g. my experience is that it's not that rare for certain types of technicians to study to the level of an Electrical Engineering degree and no real effort is made to recognize that expertise.
What I found impressive was the failure or rather why it couldn't keep going wasn't due to the fusion process it was due to overheated magnets.

Generating 59 MJ (11MW) in five seconds was impressive too although I didn't see what the amount of energy that was input.

I'm also curious how are they going to heat water for the steam generators? Water can't be heated to 150 million degrees C something has to moderate it down to X degrees. That seems to be incredibly wasteful.
We do though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onkalo_spent_nuclear_fuel_re... is going operational next year, and the amount of research that went into it guarantees that it's safe.

I admittedly did no research, I am just (accurately, I think) passing on the view of the community, which is that Blizzard has all but abandoned the game. How sure are you of those numbers, in particular how sure are you that they're not including the "value" of the logo, and/or money that actually came from sponsors? FWIW, at your urging I did do a belated search, and the first source I saw shows 1.9M as the entire prize pool for ESL 20-21, not Blizzard's portion. It can't all have come from Blizzard, unless they plaster "Intel" all over everything just to be nice.

Look, maybe I undersold it, maybe Blizzard does chip in a non-trivial amount of prize money. But would you agree with my point, which is that Riot spends way more than Blizzard on the trappings of esports, and also that Blizzard used to spend a lot more than they do today? Who do you think pays the LoL casters, and who do you think pays the SC2 casters? And would you also agree that one day LoL's popularity will wane to SC2-like levels, and that the most likely outcome is that it will more or less resemble SC2 in the sense that it is still a real esport with real tournaments and people playing it professionally, but would constitute a "failed esport" in the sense that this article is portraying esports as failing because they don't pack arenas like regular sports?
Didn't they dig up the area around it and bury it under itself?
It makes plenty of sense to Google: engineer for the 98% use case and the remaining 2% should just go away and stop wasting their time.
I appreciate the response but I admit I'm a bit confused - maybe it's the case that you're not familiar with the need for modern forecasting? Some of your 'defense' is just flat out wrong. A few points:

- You write:
1. "Clean data would benefit most models, not just non-deep learning models. Missing data introduces bias even in DL models." and 2. "Because a cold start is not a time series data set. Why would time series methods work on non time series data."

Clean data is good, yes, thanks for the insight. But 1. missing data is a huge issue for model quality, particularly for highly-parameterized state space models if you're missing key aspects (e.g. an ETS model with missing data for trend is an awful model) and 2. cold start is certainly a time series concept (and one with lots of ongoing research at that). Here's an example: At Amazon, thousands of new products launch each week. Many of those new products have zero or very limited historical data, but metrics (e.g. demand) still need to be forecasted. Despite your claim that such an issue doesn't exist, this is a cold start time series problem. Modern techniques exist to handle this issue, such as DeepAR, which handles the cold start issue by training a global model for probabilistic forecasts (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.04110.pdf)

- You write: "That is not the case. Time series regression can take many lags for inputs"

Of course, but that's not what was written. I suggest you google the difference between multiple and multivariate time series

- You write: "False. Time series regression models are used to forecast revenue many years into the future in the business world"

In the 'business world'(?) you can use a forecasting model to do multi-step ahead prediction (aka k-step ahead error propagation), but I'm referring specifically to direct multi-horizon forecasting (e.g. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.11053.pdf)

- You write: "Not sure sure you are saying here."

I'm describing verbatim the process by which the classical forecasting techniques described work.

- You write: "So is F=ma"

This is agreeing with me. I think maybe your intent was to write something with a nonlinearity, but I’m not sure you’re sure what point you’re trying to make here.

- You write: "1. If seasonality is present. Which is usually the case in practical business problems then you will find that actual ~ lag_actuals explains most of the variance with a linear relationship. non-linearities in time series is not something that I see often. You can usually make a feature that explains those away linearly."

You ignored the bit about joint distributions and you gave an example of lag features you've seen. Non-linearities are common in many time series applications (e.g. weekly returns of <currency> foreign exchange rate , <stock> realized volatility). You can handle them with classical techniques, but it's painful if you do something more complex than just introducing a feature and hope it captures the missing variance.
Look at this from the perspective of the participants of your test: you're asking them to play in a lottery, whose odds are one to million, and the price of admission is years of long, hard work.

No thanks, anyone capable of solving even the easiest of your tests will know they're better off playing the actual lottery, and spending the rest of the time on any kind of job or social activity. You'd have to offer something truly out of this world, like guaranteed UBI for the winner and their whole family, two generations back and two generation ahead, for it to be worth the risk.

But then, with incentives that strong, you'll probably have only fraudsters getting close to the finish line. Unfortunately, the deck is already stacked against higher education here: as long as your long-term economic prospects hinge directly on your educational performance, the most motivated and effective crowd will be cheaters. If you weed out people based on performance, you'll end up selecting for cheaters, and against honest students.
I agree that modern esports fail in many aspects e.g. stability, simplicity, readability, etc., though worth keeping in mind that "chess" was not a standardized/codified game for the first thousand or so years of its existence, and many of its newer developments (e.g. the pawn's two-space move, castling, en passant) could be viewed as balance patches.
This is the way of capitalism. Move costs outside your organization and call it profit.

It's why companies don't offer phone support. Or ones that do (like mine) get premium pricing.
I’m confused as to why they were doing an apparently overwhelming amount of development, and what about hosting code (that’s what they did, right?) is so architecture specific.

But, sounds like they got in over their head on a well-intentioned project so, hope the CEO gets a little time to de-stress.
Humans tolerate those altitudes very poorly. They suffer from health problems and miscarriages.

High-altitude genetic adaptations have been the subject of a fair amount of study; there are three major groups bearing such adapations: Tibetans, Ethiopians, and Andeans.

The Andean adaptation suite is noticeably more primitive and lower-quality; this is generally thought to be the result of having evolved only very recently, after humans made it to the Americas.

The Tibetan suite is so effective that part of it has been proposed to be the result of interbreeding between arriving homo sapiens and a different hominid species native to the Tibetan plateau.
I'm still waiting for bcachefs upstreaming.
"We delete all data from employee machines at termination as a matter of policy" seems analogous to other data retention policies with similar purposes.
