They aren’t able to keep it. Even if no beneficiary, the state collects it in an unclaimed accounts fund so there’s no benefit to the bank.

Imagine the incentives and nightmare if banks were able to keep unclaimed accounts from people.
No. Why would that have had any impact on their ability to later buy a home? It didn't change anything over the long term.
I get your point there, but I bet not all of these were sentry. But even with sentry, there's some smarts to it about object detection. If you know how that works, you'd expect some human-in-the-loop labeling.

I'm not saying that it is right. There's a real lack of transparency here, especially considering how many people seem blissfully unaware.
When you offshore cost is the main factor and the companies optimise for it. As an example you may have an offshoring contract with Infosys where you pay around $20/hour/head and they provide mostly freshgrads (some times referred to as "commodity developers") with dubious qualifications. But you can say you have 100 engineers on the project. When hiring internationally you usually hire and interview a specific person and pay them well through Deel (or equivalent). All of the former engagements have been a disaster, the latter have mostly worked out.

Both have their benefits. In my experience offshore teams are basically an army that you need to train and provide a lot of direction. It can be very frustrating but if you have code generators, Sonarqube, linters and they are only working on CRUD applications it sometimes works out. Whereas international hires are usually very competent because you personally selected them.
Every thing you said sums up to: "Just trust Google".
I would venture further and say there are no shortcuts if you want to be successful and doing permanent and irreversible damage to yourself is not going to get you there. Success is rooted in persistence and consistency, not seeing hallucinations.
Regarding screws, they seem to have screwed the stuff into a liner inside the hull, not the hull. (Source, hearsay from other HN discussions, and you can see the liner in some of their other pictures.)
What do you think a monopoly is? It is almost absolute power especially in industries where barrier to entry is super high.
That's not what comes out in public meetings, and local government makes decisions based on who speaks up at public meetings or who takes the time to contact their local representatives. I was listening in on the Oakland Budget negotiations that happened the other day and multiple speakers talked about how they mistrust the police and do not want to offer them additional funding. The pro-police crowd almost always come from the wealthier district, and in Oakland it's fairly obvious because a couple districts are much wealthier than the others.
My psychiatrist told me that depression does have an effect not only on motivation, but also on physical fitness, unrelated to training or sedentary behavior.

Apparently it's related to how the nervous system is affected by depression, which in turn changes how your body reacts to physical exercise.

This explain why despite doing physical activity, it became immensely more difficult to go running when depression came back.

This is really important to remember to do physical activity but to go slowly and not expect to be fast or to improve. Depression suits reduce physical fitness, but not just because you stay inside.
So afraid of movie night now.
We're on the cusp of low skill know nothings flooding the internet with low quality trash. AI produced content will not have value because you don't add anything meaningful to that process, you're entirely subordinated to the quirks of whatever models you're using. How do you compete in a sea of games that look exactly like yours because you're all using the same garbage to build the aesthetic value of your game?
I agree, it goes beyond danger which I see some people debating elsewhere in the thread. A tweaker might not be dangerous to me but I still won't enjoy being stuck in a tin can with him. Societies generally try to police antisocial behavior for a reason, but I guess some people think anything short of actually violent behavior should be tolerated. And "it's a city" shouldn't be an excuse.
This gentleman groped a client in open court. I can definitely see disbarring someone for that alone, even setting aside the other charges. Also—and not that it is relevant to the disbarment—he is 86 years old. Wow.

On the other hand, I'm not sure I agree that the public is unsafe if he has his license indefinitely suspended vs. being formally disbarred. That sounds like catastrophizing. The reality is he won't be practicing law again either way, so it's less of a safety issue than a statement. I agree with disbarring him for what he did, and I agree with disbarring him to make a statement about the ethics we hold attorneys accountable to, just not as an actual issue of public safety.
The difference is only implied in their comment. They are using "offshoring" to referring to relying on a completely outside team to deliver a product.

In comparison to hiring individuals internationally to work with an internal team.

In the first case the entire project is "offshore." In the second case only individual team members are not in the primary country.
> Not to worry, you can strike a deal with Facebook and Google for them to reinstate your links for $0.

That option does not exist in practice.

The companies cannot strike a deal with just one publication and not others. After having made one deal, even at $0, the other publications will just be able to name their price, because the law sets up forced arbitration with parameters that basically tell the arbitrators to give the publication what they want.
> The way this is being interpreted is as if people will respond to an extreme degree to any incentive whatsoever, and they will choose the worst response to that incentive automatically.

The interpretation is that (for most people) regular and consistent incentives/punishments at frequent intervals are more habit forming than irregular incentives/punishments that occur rarely and randomly.

If people were capable of internalizing that they had to drive safely to avoid having their insurance go up, then what would be the point of these boxes? Why introduce the reward/punishment structure at all if insurance premiums on their own are enough to influence behavior?

Frequency/predictability are hugely important for habit forming. A box that beeps at you every single time you brake too hard is a more effective punishment than a random insurance premium increase. Honestly, the premium risks are kind of irrelevant in both cases -- getting immediate negative feedback every time you brake is the problem.
Modern physics(and engineering) is kind of absurd. And I mean that in a good way. LIGO? I didn't believe at all that it would ever work. Even when they got detections I kinda thought they were chasing their own tails. Now the evidence is pretty much rock solid that the data is real(multiple facilities, correlations with light observations for neutron star mergers, etc).
Then I heard about LISA, which essentially is building this thing in fucking space(different geometry, but same basic concept), with probes somehow orbiting in unison and firing lasers at eachother over ridiculous distances(2.5 million kilometers!). I thought they were raving mad. But pathfinder, the POC, seemed to work, and now they're building the thing. Planned for 2037, but still.

When I heard about this project in a spacetime video a few years ago IIRC, again I thought okay, this is too far. It's never gonna work, there'll be too much noise yadda yadda. And it now it looks they might have done it.

At this point, if physicists say something is possible, I listen no matter how impossible it sounds.
Only for $250K though?
Good question. The course of long-term interest rates in the US economy is uncertain.

Let’s assume Walden is successful at marketing this investment and it becomes a material part of their balance sheet. Otherwise, this doesn’t matter much.

If rates go up, Walden would print money by earning a spread. The 10-year penalty for early withdrawal is essentially the cap on their upside, and it’s a high cap.

If rates go down for a long time, Walden could become insolvent. At that point, you have to rely on the FDIC’s guarantee to make you whole.
Yeah that guy sucks. Just goes to show you not everyone is meant to be a CEO.
There's a 10 year interest penalty for early withdrawal. and on the faq[1] it says:

> Note that in the case that you withdraw the CD before 10 years, the penalty would reduce the principal value of the CD.

Does that mean if they close within 10 years, the FDIC insurance would be below the principal?

When I grew up one of the values instilled in me (moreso by society and personal interactions rather than passed on by my parents) was to see human beings as human beings, without cognitive overhead to their race. i.e. To me it was akin to hair color - neat, but not something by which I'd make judgements.

Theoretically a world which doesn't distinguish, seems most equitable (and sane, at least to me). I'm genuinely trying to understand the impetus toward a different status quo. Is it because the reality of growing up a certain race is so far removed from that ideal that justice requires accommodations be made?

Grateful for insight and experiences. I grew up in a diverse city in Canada so my reality may be a bit skewed from readers in other parts of the world.
The internet feels like a desolate waste ground to me at the moment. I give up pretty quickly these days "surfing the web", as I just get fed up with the constant never ending search results filled with blogspam, news sites that constantly pester you with modal dialogs from the microsecond you land on them, every site begging you for money, your email address or moaning at you because you're running an adblocker. Or sites just plain not loading, because you forgot you're still connected to a VPN, or using Apples private relay.

I occasionally like to look at the DailyMail but when it complains and blocks me for using an adblocker I just nope out. I've seen what that site looks like without serious adblocking and I'm astounded any sane person could ever endure that experience. It's bad enough with adblocking.

The only places I really visit now are small forums, a few Reddits, HN obviously and not much else.

As an example of just how broken and manipulative it all is. Open Google. Search for apples.

It tells me it found 8,540,000,000 results (0.38 seconds). Wow. Big DATA! Click to page 10. Click to page 11. That's the last page for me now and it now says at the top: Page 11 of about 103 results (0.70 seconds).

That seems pretty broken to me for the biggest search engine on the internet. Oh and forget trying to manipulate the query string like the good old days, it's now just a big old long list of encrypted garbage.
I used 40 years because realistically a 1-year-old is not going to invest $150k to get a return when they're 101. Most likely it'll be like a 30yo investing for when they're 70 or something. Anyway, the point of the question was literally to understand whom this is good for. Is this meant for (say) 40-year-olds trying to invest in their children's retirements rather than their own?
Part of what’s interesting here is that there haven’t been any robust featurizers for DNA in the same sense that we have robust featurizers for proteins (like ProtBERT et al.) that just work out of the box for amino acid sequences. Since many genes have >100k bp vs. proteins that are often less than 1k AAs, the much longer context window is needed. ProtBERT gets ~200k downloads per month on huggingface and DNABERT gets ~10s.

The tasks may be chunked smaller than you like but I enjoyed the Python course at HackerRank. I was already pretty proficient at Python but I refined my skills and had fun the whole way with very little friction. I did courses for other languages too but I enjoyed the Python course the most.
Ever since Twitter started killing off 3rd party apps all those years ago, the writing has been on the wall for all of these "platforms". They need to serve ads to make money, so closing down all API endpoints was destined to happen. The only thing that surprises me is how long it's taking.

You have to remember that most of these tech companies haven't been profitable for decades, they've been living on investment money. The problem is that you can't have infinite growth.

It's not Elon's fault and it's not Spez's fault. All of tech is becoming walled gardens in order to become profitable. The idea of 3rd party apps and available APIs was only there to build an audience. Once that audience gets locked in, once the market is cornered, it's time to go all-in on monetization. Especially now that interest rates are going back to normal levels.

> I'm talking about lifting them up, correcting the wrongs, reimbursing the damage done

Most histories of WW2 end on the day the Axis surrendered. I was curious about what happened "the day after" and went looking for it. I discovered that with the collapse of government and institutions, the veneer of civilized behavior stripped away. People took revenge on old grudges, stole from each other, murdered each other, neighbors against neighbors, everyone with an axe to grind. It was savage.

It took maybe a year or more for the government to begin functioning, and found they were faced with a horrendous list of crimes. Upwards of half the population were criminals. What were they going to do about it? Put half the country in jail?

What they did do, in country after country, was to simply do a general amnesty for any crimes committed before 1947 or so. The slate was wiped clean, and things just started over.
Are you using any electron based apps? I find them to be much blurrier when using fractional scaling versus Xorg so I'm running my monitors at native rather than my preferred scale of 125% (2K 16" and 4K 27" displays).

IIRC, vs code supported some extra arguments (--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WaylandWindowDecorations --ozone-platform=wayland) but this didn't work universally across electron applications and caused very noticeable input lag in others such as Discord.

No, it only applies to specifically regulated "digital news intermediaries" who are selected for regulation according to the criteria:

Application

6 This Act applies in respect of a digital news intermediary if, having regard to the following factors, there is a significant bargaining power imbalance between its operator and news businesses:

(a) the size of the intermediary or the operator;

(b) whether the market for the intermediary gives the operator a strategic advantage over news businesses; and

(c) whether the intermediary occupies a prominent market position.

So it would be up to the CRTC to decide whether or not to put HN on the list of "digital news intermediaries" by applying the above 3-part test. Given that HN is a (relatively) small forum, compared to Google or Facebook, it's unlikely for that to happen.
Right, people with small statures who look like pushovers will face a disproportionate amount of the abuse. Big mean looking guys like me usually don't have much to fear, but why should anybody have to put up with it just because they're small and meek?
Karpathy explains it far better than I did in his "State of GPT" talk about a month ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZQun8Y4L2A

Yes, language can do that, but books and other texts, on average, leave out a lot of steps that humans have learned to do naturally. They can be prompted to do them, and their answers improve, indicates that there is definitely some level of "reasoning" there.

But it has weird limitations in its current forms. I expect that to improve pretty quickly, tbh.

> LINQ is almost always a bad indicator. It is actually a fantastic thing in one off scripts and hack type code, but when it appears in production code, I would say 90%+ of the time it is absolutely gross, but it hides how gross it actually is.

The effect of weight on Washington state vehicle registration cost is small. It is probably only contributing less than $40 to his registration cost.

What is pushing his cost way up by hundreds of dollars is the regional transit excise tax that some Washington counties have. That tax is based on the value of the vehicle, which is the MSRP discounted by a depreciation factor. The tax is 1.1% of depreciated value.
Relevant that this is an opinion piece, not a study.

I was 10 when it happened, and bullied because of my muslim name at school for years afterwards. I went to mosque, and out of the literally hundreds of muslims I knew everyone to the person condemned 9/11.

I don't know where you get the idea that there was broad support for those assholes in my community, but people who said the things that you say caused a lot of harm to me and my family. I thought you should know that.
Back in 2009 I thought the tea party and occupy Wall Street crowds would realize they were opposite sides of the same coin. I thought if both sides came together maybe we’d see some material change. But no, the powers that be divided them apart and convinced each the other was the real enemy. Same as it ever was.
I did an exhaustive search scraping all of the supported Lineage OS devices to find a good tradeoff between modernity and a handset that isn't giant, resulting in my Zenfone 8. I'm not ready to upgrade yet but I'm very pleased to see Asus fighting the good fight for reasonable size.
If you're the sort of person who makes the team around you 2X more productive, then sure, they're getting that money back. Christ, a great engineer can make that back for a company by delivering zero code, if he can keep a team of 20 productively getting the _right_ stuff done.

What do you think the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment means?
The law tries to sort of sidestep this issue by just upfront saying that it only applies if you have a "significant bargaining power imbalance" over the news companies you're displaying.

Basically it only applies against you if you're big/important enough. I assume in practice this means Google, Facebook, Twitter, Bing, Apple, and probably some others. Reddit, I suppose.
A smaller modern phone!!! I really hope this gets picked up by the LineageOS community and supported for many years, like the Poco F1, which I've used for many years very happily.

I also really hope more manufacturers produce non-giant smartphones, that'd be so cool!
I hate attorneys and I have an ambitious wife who's out of my league, so I'm strongly opposed to workplace sexual misconduct.

Edit- emojis don’t save..

Couple of tips.

- 0000 is a leap year and doesn’t add to your numbers tally

- “not strong enough” - paste the strong man emoji three times.

- hex color - screenshot and upload to a hex color picker (on iOS turn off the screen dimming). Choose a hex color with low numbers. Enter as lowercase to avoid creating more chemical elements such as “F” and “C”

- chess move - install Chessvision.ai and upload screenshot. Taking a piece add an “x” between the piece taking the move and the target square e.g. Qxe5. Taking a piece and putting the king in check Qxe5+. Checkmate Qxe5#

- captcha - avoid numbers. Leave all lowercase. Avoid captchas that could be confused for a chess move (e.g. contains “e5”)

- YouTube URL - google “mm:ss YouTube” replacing the minutes and seconds. Only use one without Roman numerals and very few numbers in the URL. The times are shown in the screenshot on google search

- on fire? Smash the delete button. Add loads of zeros to pad it out to give yourself a chance. You can delete them later.

- copy the password regularly in a notes file. After
Everything goes up on flames you can paste it back in

- country - enter it in lower case. Take a look around if you can and hint for tips. Road signs, tree types (cold or warm climate), road name overlays, advertising, company names, etc. only once I couldn’t figure it out. Middle of a ruined castle??

- you not allowed to overfeed Paul. I kept him up at 5 bugs and it allowed me to jump between apps and jump back. Maybe you can add more but I didn’t risk it.

- ChatGPT can help you with the periodic table and help you with the math.
(And interest can be withdrawn penalty-free at any point, so you can keep it under $250k).
