no one believes American democracy is free and fair.

in order to prove to the world you're not a kleptocracy, and prove yourself capable of being a "democratic" super power worth listening to, America should have international election observers, and an independent electoral commission.

America is incapable of doing democracy right, and the rest of the world needs proof of that democracy's legitimacy before any more Arabs or Asians or Slavs or Africans needlessly die thanks to American "Freedom".

Yes, stocks and futures was exactly what I was talking about. Though we also hit the market with options models within another couple of months.

The big costs for small firms are historic data (if you don't have any), colo, distance to exchange, and number of connections.

From the number of job specs I see, it feels like the HFT/low latency market place is healthy enough that there are always new firms appearing. It's competitive, so it's hardly surprising that if someone has new ideas they'll find a backer.
Individually yes. It's less clear what happens if Twitter is shedding hundreds of engineers at the same time many other companies are freezing hiring or letting people go.
It will be very interesting to see how the renewable energy transition will play out. Energy drives the economy. Zero price energy is something akin to zero interest rates.

Zoom: Charged 220 euros/month after being misled by their commercial practices
They do not show that the Business License is for a minimum of 10 users and more than 200 euros a month!

Yet they do not process a full refund when a customer makes a mistake and subscribes to it.

I trusted Zoom before being misled that way...

Should a tech company aim for growth at any reputational cost?
From experience management really don't care about the state of the code or infrastructure. All they want to know is the soonest something can be done.

Elon strikes me as worse because he likes to think he understands what his engineers know.
Your comment is very valid. I'd just add that AI tools are clearly taking the "YouTube approach": they provide a large value added, ignore copyright for the moment, and hope to resolve it peacefully at some later point in time. This worked very well for YouTube.

My theory is more:

1. Twitter decides to go account only for monetization reasons, and implements this feature with some bugs.

2. People start complaining about the new Twitter policy.

3. Availability issues start being observed, caused by the bugs in the implementation of 1 - possibly a self-DDoS.

4. Elon, in response to 2, lies about 1 being a temporary response to an external pre-existing DDoS attack. People start associating 3 with the claimed DDoS attack.

5. In a hasty attempt to fix 3, whose exact cause they have not yet determined, Twitter starts implementing stringent view quotas. Since 3 was not caused by an external DDoS attack, this actually only makes the problem worse.

I'm not claiming this is definitely what happened, just that it is a plausible time-line of events. The one Elon presented is also plausible, of course.

The best question that could help us distinguish these two cases from the outside is whether Twitter's availability issues started being observed before or after the authentication policy change. I would say that Elon's claim is far less likely to be true if the noticeable availability issues only appeared after the policy change. Conversely, my version of events (which is more or less the same as TFA's, I think) is far less believable if the availability issues happened before the Auth change.

I will note that I didn't use Twitter at all in the last few days and thus don't know which is the case. On HN, I definitely saw the Auth policy change story at least a day before seeing significant complaints about other availability issues, though.

Walk down a street market at night in Thailand and look at the warez on sale at the tables. Every single thing you see that looks like it's from a brand is counterfeit. Every movie or program is pirated. And the home utensils? Don't put those in the microwave, and definitely don't let your baby play with them.

I know we all think of Amazon as an American company that sells legitimate products like books, but why should we have thought it would be any different from a 2nd or 3rd world marketplace? There's no harm to it once you view it with the same level of suspicion that any average Thai person views the home goods sold on the street.

The only issue is that Americans aren't adapted to thinking critically about what they're being sold. They're adapting, and they will learn, because they're no longer a first world country.

TL;DR: It's not that you're being treated like a twat, it's that you actually are a twat if you're still trying to buy shit on Amazon.
Volume is defined in terms of limits, so there's no hope to prove this without taking a limit of some form. Whether or not you count that as calculus is up to you.
I was surprised to see nodes still have two pointers ("references") given that you now know that that the first pointer will always point exactly to the next node. I've see https://github.com/rswier/c4 use that. Granted it doesn't make for the most readable code, but it's even smaller and faster.

> Delay behavior in both sexes was also correlated positively with IQ and with Q-sort-derived indexes of ego resiliency and ego control. The relationship between ego control and delay behavior was particularly strong after both IQ and ego resiliency were partialled. These results were interpreted as reflecting the fundamental importance of both cognitive skillfulness and impulse control for adaptive delay behavior in situations that contain strong motivational inducements.

This study doesn’t measure academic related delayed gratification. I’m surprised to be asked for a source. This has been settled science for decades.
You would make a better case if you would argue with objective evidence of malicious behaviour rather than a cry for ideological purity.

I don't know what Netcam Studio is nor what it does and I'm not interested in finding out since I'm not going to use it, but what kind of licensing it has would be the least of my immediate security concerns.

That's nothing. Instead hopping on the bandwagon hating on the thing we all use and care about, a situation where you would know a solution but are not allowed to act because of fear of even trying anything is so much worse. Especially when you know of it for a very long time and are not even allowed to try, while also being ostracized and being "that guy" for suggesting it repeatedly. Talking of different technical and business approaches to things where the "original" still somehow works but is slowly killing the company. Been there, done that.

But when a higher-up so clearly takes responsibility of something that is risky but deemed necessary, it provides for a lot better space to also respond to any potential problems that pop up, while not needing to suffer snarky comments in hindsight as a dev.

Of course something like this is easier to hate on ...
If the business is so difficult and unprofitable, they can always close it.
It is long term contracts, not subsidies (which obvoliously are a type of long term price gurantee in most cases) alone. From what I read from Germany before, local grid shortages may further contribute. Since the price is constant in one grid zone but demand may be higher in some nodes, local variable producers may have to be online even though it costs them money to generate.

I can understand this being hard to comprehend, but if China actually effectively deployed a zero covid policy initially - it's up to you whether you think the reports to this effect are true or not - then a mask-less concert is in fact pretty safe as long as you're not allowing foreigners to bring COVID into the country.

Of course the moment you let Americans in to your country, you've given up your battle against COVID since we decided to just let it rip.

China's not the only country that tried a zero COVID policy and for a while it was working in other places too thanks to management techniques, travel restrictions, quarantines, etc. (New Zealand is one, iirc) But when one of the biggest and most powerful countries in the world decides to just give up on the fight nobody else is going to win.
An earthquake on the Pacific Rim is far, far from being a black Swan.

If you can't build a nuclear plant, or a dam, while accounting for expected events, then maybe don't.
If it was only that Elon had said it, I might agree. But he also had multiple rounds of layoffs (after lying every time and saying "this was the last!"). He had multiple horrible mandatory meetings forcing people to drop everything and fly over the country. He forced people to print out their code so he could review their work.

Nobody good stays during ALL of this.

Def encourage you to read Lockhart's Mathematician's Lament: https://www.maa.org/external_archive/devlin/LockhartsLament....

The way we were introduced to integration, the different rules (tricks as you put it) made sense. If you are using rote memorization and cannot derive the "tricks," I imagine all of math is harder to approach.

As a former inner-city high school math teacher, recovering, students who tried to memorize mechanical approaches could be easily spotted when they forgot or recalled incorrectly. Simple example: they may not remember X^1 and/or X^0 and they lack the understanding to figure it out.
It's good but they are happily selling faked flash memory and sd cards and do nothing if you point that out.
> So it's bullshit.

That’s quite the opinion. Do you have any evidence to back that up? Countless studies have found that SAT scores are highly correlated with intelligence. Both “g” and IQ, which are roughly equivalent for this context. For example: https://www.psychologicalscience.org/pdf/ps/Frey.pdf?origin=...

The relevant embeddings here are computed by a neural network on high-dimensional input, like an image or a string of text. For instance, https://openai.com/research/clip. So they are not learned by backpropagating to the embedding itself (which is a common approach when you have a relatively small, fixed number of possible inputs, so you can just put your embeddings in a table). The embedding network will of course be trained by backpropagation, using some form of self-supervised learning

Who is oppressed? Porn sites? Sex stores and brothels id people. Strip clubs is people and they are regulated already to make sure strippers are treated properly and work in a safe place. Why are you saying porn sites are different or special or why is making content different when it is done online?

As far as slipperlyslope, I suggest you look up the slipperyslope fallacy and why arguing some dire future condition possibly existing isn't an argument against a sepecific and scoped proposal.

> If you think porn is on the same order of harm as alcohol, you need to lay off the sauce.

I have no idea. Both ruin relationships or prevent healthy ones. But alcohol makes you fat, harms your organs and can lead to diabetes in the long term so I would say physically harmful things like alcohol are much more harmful than porn but that is bad whataboutism because even though you are right about alcohol that does not make porn any less harmful.

I wouldn't describe the Content ID regime and the myriad lawsuits and backroom deals as "peaceful".
Well, it's still under a massive amount of development. Most basic features aren't there. Such as I can't change my email I used when I signed up. This is an issue for people since I typo'd it when I signed up. You can't change your password, you can create new app passwords. Since these are super basic features, it kinda shows how all the other stuff are.

Realistically, I don't think it could handle a full enslaught of new users and wants to onboard slowly which makes sense from a development point of view. The issue is, it's basically dead or just full of shitposts. Which has no real value.

And the number of people who want on it aren't actually that high, I've got 3 invites and no one to invite.
The most common tariff that offers these prices is capped at 100p/kWh (about 3-4x higher than the standard price). I've been on it for about 3 months and I never saw anything higher than the standard price.
This is all speculation.

The push to "make the content less user friendly" and push then to our app/logged in experience is similar to reddit's push and it doesn't really present an insurmountable challenge on the technical side.

These technical hurdles are temporary. Not the end of the world. The "only in our app/only logged in" requirements are bad on a philosophical level of user choice, not on the "this is terrible technically" side.

Attacking it on that note is just perpetuating the narrative where elonmuskmanbad (which is more political than consistent with the treatment others get) above more specific truths.
I see two kinds of people saying either:

1. The west is doing immoral things and hiding it. Let's talk about it and force people in charge to change things or change the people in charge!

Or:

2. The west is doing immoral things. Let's root for these other guys who are also doing immoral things; eventually they will replace the west and then somebody will figure out how to stop them from doing the immoral things.

I think (2) is predicated on the fact that the west wrong doings are so old and irreparable and so they can be only washed away through a complete blank slate rewrite of the geopolitical order.

I think this is a relatively "natural" effect of our human psychology. We have an innate sense of "punishing" people and we often find ways to rationalize and explain why they should be punished. However these instincts are ill suited to handle geopolitics because there are many more people involved that the "tribe" size of our natural selection environment and also because the time scale of the changes is usually much longer than what people are used to in their day to day relationships.

I think logic (2) is flawed because once the new power structure is formed it will be hard to change exactly like (1) or even worse. Furthermore it will have done immoral things for quite some time by then because changes to geopolitical power balances will take a long time to actuate and thus they new power will also become "irreparable" and the only thing left to do will be to root for the next "underdog".
AKA domain knowledge
You can download and keep your data and keep a backup, it's all content-addressed (like git repos), and just upload to another instance

Like moving from GitHub to GitLab.

Each instance then has its own moderation policies, again, kind of like GitHub. But your identity is still your identity, and you can keep a copy of your data.
Subsidies are fixed costs. They are not investments, they are one time payments. Under certain conditions, you have to pay those back, but these are commonly not related to pricing.

I don't know how much you know about energy grids, but there is a big reason why negative prices are needed. Energy can't float around on the network. It needs to be used (by direct usage, or storage). If there is too much energy on the grid it needs to be used. There's two ways to solve this, being stop energy from being pushed to the grid, or consume more energy. Both lead to negative pricing to create an incentive to achieve this.

Moral instincts are correct on average because they reflect the bulk morality of the society that the person was raised in.

While "informed" ethics can be imported from societies with other ethical frameworks that do not fit the desired ethics of this society. Worse yet people might think it's superior in some way just because it's educated and reasoned.

Following that multiple studies showed that Fukushima could get hit by +15m tsunamis and suggested heightening the sea wall.

Now you are trying to redefine Black Swan to fit your narrative.

Take what the author said about COVID-19.

> According to Taleb, as it was expected with great certainty that a global pandemic would eventually take place, the COVID-19 pandemic is not a black swan, but is considered to be a white swan; such an event has a major effect, but is compatible with statistical properties.

Similarly, there is a great certainty that a +15m tsunami will hit any of the existing nuclear power plants in Japan. Fukushima was not a Black Swan, simply human negligence.
This reminds me of a GDC talk where rust was praised because it forces you to either go mad because of the borrow checker or structure code using an entity component system. I find it funny that the value of the borrow checker in all these real world scenarios with complicated lifetimes is to find a way to avoid it entirely by putting stuff in arrays and reference them by their index.
