From the amount of complex analysis I've seen, I think I agree with you.

The insight behind multi-valued functions seems to be that for certain types of functions that seem unambiguous in the real case (roots, logarithms, ...) there's no clear candidate for which one is "the" logarithm function etc. So theorems look more like "let l be a logarithm function".

If you actually want to do complex analysis, it would not be very useful to have a vector valued function (even if that's technically possible) for logarithm etc. because most of the theory is developed for (in particular, differentiable) functions C -> C. So you'd rather just pick a branch.
My problem is with the collective gaslighting the crypto industry is doing with respects to utility vs speculation. I never thought I would find myself on the side of the SEC, but I have enough experience in the space with investors to builders to confidently say the vast majority of the industry is about speculative gain. Specious claims of utility are often just a means to that end.

What to Negotiate Before Deploying AI Coding Assistants at Work
Have the Netherlands never had a case where the courts ruled against the interests of the public? Or favored the corrupt system? It seems trivial to imagine a case where a rape victim can accuse someone, but the attacker can beat the case by technicalities and then silence their accuser.
Maybe, but at least a couple of quarters of demonstrable uncompetitiveness would be solid evidence to take to the negotiating table with the unions to get the labor cost down (if that really was the primary cost problem).
Though the article did hit the nail on the head with this statement from the Teamster's head: “Today’s news is unfortunate but not surprising. Yellow has historically proven that it could not manage itself despite billions of dollars in worker concessions and hundreds of millions in bailout funding from the federal government."

The workers conceded quite a bit over the years, but despite that and the bailout, the management of Yellow still couldn't make it work.
agree about the narcissism but for a news org, this is their RSS.
My counterargument to this is:

Pension/retirement arrangements where the contributions are defined but the benefits are not are a risk to the individual -- you have to figure out "how much do I want to invest, what do I think the market will do, where should I put the money?", and if you get it wrong you don't have enough money in retirement. For the company, on the other hand, they're very low risk, because the amount of the company's liability is clearly defined and limited up front.

Arrangements where the benefits are defined are not a risk to the individual (who knows how much they will get, and will get it regardless of market conditions over the next few decades); instead they're a risk to the company/government/etc that provides them (if they set the defined final pension too high and investments don't go so well then it costs the company more than they expected).

In general my preference is that (as a society) we should prefer to impose risks not on individuals but on large organizations who can afford to employ people who take the time to assess those risks and make the necessary decisions, and who have the resources and timescales to be able to weather unexpected downturns. So I think defined-benefit is better than defined-contribution.

(This is of course entirely not the way the pension setup has gone, at least in the UK -- defined-benefit is getting rarer and rarer, and defined-contribution is pretty much the standard for the private sector these days. But I think it's an unfortunate trend.)
I get that you're talking about situations like typing into a remote terminal, but this technique still causes eye strain which brings us back to square one with slow eink displays which are like this all day long.

But that's only because (unfortunately for the airlines) miles are not a universally accepted currency. Just like some poorer countries needing to be bailed out by the IMF, despite issuing their own currency.
Dunno about that. Many people have a hostile view of large institutions. They view scamming them as getting what they deserve.

Hello there! Author here. Just a small guide for non-technical people about hashing - a small seemingly scary word, but understanding that could potentially make so many other things click.

Please let me know what you think and check out other articles as well!
One to get you started: https://blog.dvsj.in/obfuscation/
Just because it sounds silly on its face doesn't make it not true. The basic premise is solid: many of the most successful corporations today make a large portion of their profit from convincing customers to park funds in their accounts, and investing that money in financial instruments.

Everyone's got millions of unsecured creditors at zero interest. What could possibly be problematic about that?
Woops, yeah, you're right. I thought the default executor was a threadpool, my mistake. However, in that case, I assume that the default executor will not change to multithreaded when no-gil comes.
meh civil suit. these people are used to being sued or threated lawsuits .
I meant it as a joke, the BBB putting out consumer protection pieces about scams and malware was common in the '00s and they generally weren't any better than what journalists with no background in the topic were producing.
If you're talking about the case where a local database forwards a read to the 'leader', and that read is put on the leader's log, but that read is only served when the read is replicated in the log back to the original local database then: It's actually less about the the leader caring about the read, and more about creating a point in time that the read will happen.

The database is using the read in the log as the point-in-time where that read happened. The writes before that point will be viewed by the read, and the writes after won't be.

By sending the read to the leader, when we receive that read back, we know for sure that all the writes that should have been replicated to our local copy have been replicated (because our read has made the full round-trip that all our writes would have, so we're guaranteed to have received all the writes before that read's "point-in-time").
That's a reductionist view, there can be many reasons why somebody would want to temporarily park a portion of their assets on a centralized exchange.
It's a a trade off between convenience, security, higher liquidity, trading opportunities et cetera, these are just some that come to mind. One can do all of that and still have the majority of their assets in cold storage. The world is not white and black.

To be fair to the article, the title is "the strange way airlines are actually central banks", implying that it's just in that one way that they are central banks.
> Are you saying that using any kind of VPN for any purpose at all would mean you'd get flagged as having intention to violate the law? And what does it mean for a VPN client to geolocate to the country level?

My argument would be that it _could_ be seen that way, and you're gambling either that it won't be or that you'd be able to convince the authorities that your usage was entirely legitimate. If your VPN connection terminates at a major corporate office in the same country, that's going to be a lot easier than if you're connecting to a public VPN service which doesn't follow local laws. It's nowhere near certain that they'd go after you but basically I'd be hesitant to recommend to anyone that they leave a public track record of using something which could be viewed as a circumvention tool because you don't always know in advance when changes in leadership mean that some previously unused law will be zealously enforced or creatively reinterpreted – we're seeing that in the United States where things like a doctor's office having a Facebook button is now a problem in that it allows a conservative prosecutor to subpoena Facebook's records for anyone in their jurisdiction looking for birth control.

> And what does it mean for a VPN client to geolocate to the country level?

Say I'm running a VPN service. Even if I'm in a different country, the UK government can come to me and say that my service will be blocked unless I buy IPs on a UK network and ensure that any client request originating from a UK network has their traffic routed through those IPs, and they'll audit that my company follows all applicable legal requirements for logging, identity validation, etc. Anyone running a legitimate business is faced with the choice of to either cooperating or not serving UK clients, and most are going to set up those dedicated ranges if they haven't already for other reasons such as geofenced content, and having a business presence means it's easy for further requirements to be attached in the future.

Everyone else is basically playing a dangerous game of getting blocked and/or attracting more attention as the percentage of VPN traffic by law-abiding users goes down. Each level of difficulty is going to mean that more people drop out – privacy benefits constantly being weighed against performance/stability – so it'll be easier for VPNs to be portrayed as law-evasion technology, especially if people try to bypass ISP-level blocks by tunneling their traffic since a judge is going to be told that you would only do that if you knew you were violating laws.

This is why I was trying to push the solutions as political: yes, not everything turns into China overnight but there's a long-running attitude in technical circles that this kind of thing can be solved with technical measures and that's only true in societies which value privacy and the rule of law. This century has more examples contradicting “The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it” than supporting it.

Looks like my first post was this:

`Scanner: Efficient Video Analysis at Scale`: https://scanner.run/

Looks like the domain expired too!
These are valid points, yet anecdotally it seems like modern fridges are less reliable and require more frequent replacement. Old fridges were "inefficient" because they didn't have an integrated variable speed motor and control board. But modern fridges seem to suffer a critical failure of some mysterious component 2 months after their warranty expires. This component can only be fixed by replacing the entire control board, and that's half the cost of a new one. Wouldn't you rather just buy a new one?

But if you zoom out, is it globally more efficient to trash the whole fridge every 5 years, or use an "inefficient" fridge with replaceable parts for 40 years?

Modern appliances are all slowly heading in the same direction.

It starts with DRM on replaceable items like water filters. Then un-mutable advertisements playing on the screen. Then subscription fees for "options". Then subscription fees for things like being able to open the doors. Then fridge-as-a-service where you rent the entire fridge and the fridge vendor resells your personal information to anyone and everyone.

There will be a "vintage replica" premium market for rich hipsters to enjoy the luxury of a fridge without any of these features. But this market will be short-lived. The vintage fridges are just modern fridges dressed up in vintage sheet metal. They buy their critical components from the same wholesalers as the DRM vendors, so eventually they'll be compelled to put in the same features. Maybe they'll be permitted to use an old-timey font on a round touchscreen with a chrome bezel, to maintain the vintage vibe.

I picture the execs of these companies studying Black Mirror episodes in darkened boardrooms... "Are you writing this down, Dave? This show is a gold mine!"
>No. If it was only effective with intermittent use then we wouldn't insulate water heaters as they're 24/7.

Hey, if your taps are emitting a stream of hot water 24/7 then you should call a plumber. Expect your water bill to drop massively.
> People will blame unions because the company had to fund pensions and health insurance. It likely will come back as a private company with lower pay, worse benefits, and maybe if people are lucky a 401k.

You can never compete if you have a pension liability from workers no longer there. A competitor can always come in without that liability and out compete you. It's not good for the business or the employees who will get screwed 30 years later. Why is this such a hard lesson to learn?

Ironic really given that most of the rest of the BBC dedicates hours of airtime every week to denigrating social media ([1][2] etc. etc.) because the BBC are so desperate to maintain relevance in a era where (shock horror) you can actually find good quality unbiased content on the internet.

Modern traditional media is barely any better than social media these days anyway. It ranges from blatantly biased (e.g. Daily Mail, Telegraph) to the BBC which is only unbiased when it suits them. Just as you can't believe everything you read on the internet, you can't believe everything the BBC tells you either (assuming they even bother to tell you in the first place .... see their silence about Michelle Mone and PPE for example, the BBC were silent when the story was reported in full everywhere else).

I agree with some of the comments that this fridge doesn't actually seem that much better than modern fridges (other than _not_ having some of the worst modern features, but you can still get fridges without those).

However, it does seem to me like _lots_ of things are getting worse over time, through a combination of removal of features (phones: IR blaster, FM radio, headphone jack, etc), addition of features (kitchen appliances: wifi connectivity, touchscreens, etc.), or lack of repairability (everything).

Psychotherapy presents itself to experimental falsification [1] with epidemiologic studies, whereas astrology/chakras/etc., do not.

I've utilized it to craft a number of high-school level mathematics and physics problems and solutions, and the experience was genuinely pleasing. The scripting language brings a fresh perspective to the markup language, while the plugin ecosystem is steadily expanding and improving.

Though I don't have firsthand experience in formatting documents to meet publication standards, the flexibility it offers seems promising for such applications.

My sincere hope is that it garners the recognition it truly deserves, and that significant publications in the future will embrace it, rolling out official templates directly in typst.
GCP and Azure have always charged for IPv4 addresses. If anything, AWS was the last of the public cloud providers to provide them for free.
That's because people want it sorted by price ascending, and you must be near the top of that list for the customer to even see the offering. So they show an artificially low price. At the hotel's own site, there is no such competition.

My IPv4 server has 127.0.0.1/8, 10.64.78.37/32, 172.17.2.1/16, and a public IP hidden somewhere. The 172/12 networks I see are usually Docker doing Docker things but I'm still left dealing with three different IP addresses.

Not that it matters much, because they all just appeared on the right interfaces and started working.

You may need to know some basic things about IPv6 for your firewall ("fe* means local link") but the same is true for IPv4 ("10.* means local network"). I think they're equally difficult to manage, but I can understand how daunting it may look to someone whose been taught networking by outdated textbooks lacking IPv6 like so many other people.

That can still be done by streaming the updates to whoever wants them (can even hash each chunk of updates, and include the hash of the prior chunk in each chunk, to get a linked list of chunks, which would prevent undetected manipulation of prior chunks).

Isn't that the "client"?
That, in a nutshell, is what I - and no doubt many others - appreciate deeply about FreeBSD. Getting it to do what you want may not be trivial, but once you got it working, it stays that way. (The same can be said about OpenBSD and NetBSD, too, with the caveat that the OpenBSD developers do not put such a premium on backward compatibility.)

Relative to Windows, this is what I like about GNU/Linux, too. I used to work as an admin/helpdesk monkey, taking care of ~75 users and about 10 servers. And things would randomly break all the time. Having used mostly Linux and BSD in my private life for more than a decade at the time, I constantly found myself wondering how people can live like this. FWIW, on Debian and openSUSE, I had no trouble with things breaking randomly except on Tumbleweed. But there, it's usually just a question of rolling back to the latest snapshot, waiting for a week or so and running the upgrade again.

Unfair … strange use of phrase. Innovative would be a better use of word as nothing prepare others to do the same … it is good to have a vendor play differently not follow the slow and dominated by arm player c.

The conclusion is on the ball but only current. M1 has been a bit old now and if other arm vendor and the two major architecture (ibm power for mainframe … cannot be counted) it is at least x86-32 plus x86-64 vs arm vs apple.
Well it doesn't in some ways, but I think many overlook the fact there is going to be trillions (quadrillions?) of kWhs of free/negative price electricity in the coming decades - when there is too much solar and/or wind on the grids.

There needs to be more productive uses of this free electricity and I imagine H2 is one of them.

NB: Batteries won't solve this unless prices dropped astronomically. The issue isn't overcapacity on a day by day basis, it's seasonal overcapacity. Areas further south are less affected by this, as there is less seasonal variation in solar output. You're not going to charge a battery then discharge it weeks later - the economics don't make sense.
That's a drive with which your exact position becomes uncertain so... you might be there already.

Do you mean Communism instead of socialism above? Socialism has nothing to do with "seizing the means of production". For socialism it is sufficient to regulate private industries to achieve social good.

And flavors of socialism are very successful so far. Most first-world countries (particularly in Western Europe) have adopted aspects of it and significantly improved individual quality of life compared to those countries who haven't.

Nice strawman.
