How is that being better? There’s a pattern of management coming out of business schools that’s clearly not working because at the end of the day, you have managers trying to micro not macro manage highly skilled workers working in areas they don’t understand well. The result is hilarious. We’re supposed to suppress that? To be better? Is laughing bad now?

Yes, this was my takeaway as well: no KPI relation ship tests whatsoever. This should have never passed testing. But that doesn't mean TS doesn't have advantages, just that this particular error could have - and should have - been caught by other means as well before hitting production.

So both of these would have been good, none of them was clearly bad. Notice that you don't necessarily have to choose between these two.
Just to add to others; I'd be interested to take a look at the source, particularly for animations.
No, I think it is still too complicated of an issue to burden voters with understanding. The better solution would be restricting all employer employee compensation arrangements to cash only.

That would solve politicians being able to pay with unaccounted for benefits that become a burden decades later, and increase labor price transparency and result in better functioning markets once employers are out of the health/vision/dental/public transport/retirement benefit business.

And a third bird it kills is reducing the advantage big businesses have over small businesses.
Good tool that fills the huge gap left when Microsoft Access failed to make the jump to the online world. Kudos to everyone who grabbed a slice of that free money pie, but it was never realistic that every app would have hundreds of millions of users.
You do have to unlock the bootloader to root a device, hence wiping the data, but that doesn't matter if it's the first thing you do when you get the phone.

Features though? Maybe I don't realize all the great things I'm missing out on since I've only ever used rooted phones since I got my first Android device many years ago.

As for apps, I've only heard of certain games (I don't play games on my phone) and banking apps (thankfully mine doesn't care, though I'd rather use a desktop web interface for financial stuff).
Why does it track some irrelevant products? It should track things that matter: milk, bread, meat, fish, fruits and so on.
There are a couple of nice minimal spreadsheets in js:

can you automate this with amazon parsing?
I don't really use JS or TS, so sorry if it should be obvious, but why is that so much better?

You just move the (incorrect) assumption from the logic to the type annotation? And you're still not going to get a compile-time error for it, because you're explicitly telling the compiler to make that assumption?
Thats kind of a crazy valuation to employee count ratio. 237 = 27% of company means they have ~850 or so employees for a company with an 11.7b evaluation. Seems off.
Wonder if it could treat arthritis? It like another commenter said, allergies.
I don't think the marginal revenue is directly relevant. The relevant question is how big does the fine have to be to discourage illegal behavior in the future? The marginal revenue of the behavior is somewhat relevant because the fine should obviously be at or higher than that amount, but that's really a lower bound.

They lost a similar case in 2012 about lying to Safari users about privacy settings and were fined $22.5M (~$31M today). They lost one in 2010 about violating the Wiretap Act for collecting packets from unencrypted wifi networks. They lost another one in 2010 for Google Buzz. Some of those were settled, but I would consider it roughly equivalent to losing if they'd rather buy their way out than have to present a case.

Given that they previously lost a case (to California, again, no less) with similar underlying issues, I would consider this to be flagrant flouting of the law and it should be punished proportionally to that flagrancy. Roosevelt said to "speak softly and carry a big stick". Google didn't listen to the soft speaking, so California should hit them with the big stick hard enough to remind them that they only exist in California at the pleasure of the people of California.

My proposal would be a fine equal to 100% of revenue derived from Californians for the period they were violating the law. They need a fine big enough that the C-levels start asking legal whether they can use the bathroom or not, and a promise that all future violations will be treated the same way. For pity's sake, California has a 3 strikes system for individuals. It's not like the state doesn't do disproportionate punishment. If Google were a person, they would've been in jail a decade ago and probably staring down California's 3-strike law and life in prison.
Pipelines are likely the cheapest option, with trucks for last mile deliveries.

The problem with "power outlets" is that they're heavily dependent on fossil fuel power plants. Since it is an unpredictable variable load, even more so than you think. Which is why it is really a transitional solution. From the beginning, it was about replacing distributed emissions with centralized ones, usually far away from cities. At some point, it became this green fantasy that could seriously replace fossil fuels. It is highly unlikely to do so in reality. Even BEVs will need hydrogen power plants to solve variable grid load problems. Eventually, you'll realize that hydrogen is a mandatory part of the problem, and the battery becomes redundant if not a negative.
This article helped me evolve my understanding of the impact of the recent openssh vuln, CVE-2023-38408. Gaining RCE on the source system is more valuable if you consider that the vulnerable machine is likely using ssh-agent to connect to other hosts, which makes pivoting potentially much easier.

Did you read it? It clearly backs what I just said. Godot open source doesn’t support consoles because console sdks are closed source, but there’s nothing stopping you from publishing on consoles. They literally list a company who is doing that, more are following. There’s no restriction at all other than you having access to the SDKs which you get when you sign a contract to publish your game on their platform.

But also

> Seven participants had a severe treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) (MDMA-AT, n = 5 (9.4%); placebo with therapy, n = 2 (3.9%)).

Connecting to a compromised machine with `ssh -A` (agent forwarding) lets the attacker use your credentials for ssh sessions elsewhere. It's almost explained in the man page.

Avoid the agent forwarding and you are fine.
With unity you get the console version of unity when are authorised by the console manufacturer. So it’s not like you have to do much to make at least the core engine work on console. The work is in the game itself which is different game to game.
> But if the economists are fighting about what will happen to a particular macroeconomic variable, they are making a prediction even if it is a log_2(3) bit prediction [1]. There must be some math that is backing that. I want to see it explicitly put into a computational model that runs on live data

This is what (some) people in finance do: make models to predict things, because if something about the future can be predicted to a sufficient degree of accuracy, it's generally possible to make money from it. In economics, the incentives are slightly different; in academia, the incentives are to publish interesting/novel/topical papers, like with other social sciences, not necessarily to make repeatable predictions. In social science nobody gets punished for making an interesting model that hasn't been rigorously proven to make repeatable predictions, while in finance on average better models make more money and get rewarded more. But sharing an effective model means other people can use the predictions too, meaning you capture less value from the predictions yourself, so people with an effective model have an incentive not to share it
I'm pretty sure I was happier with 9600 baud back in 1991. Everything felt so new and exciting. The upgrade from 2400 to 9600 bps felt huge. The upgrade from 300 megabits to a gigabit? I hardly noticed.
Thanks! but on HN, we don't count reposts as dupes if the story hasn't had significant attention yet. This is to give good stories multiple changes at getting attention.

This is in the FAQ (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html) and there are past explanations at https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... if interested.
You're right. I totally agree with you. I think it goes further to prove the point that DOJ is trying to stop people from stealing horses 10 years after the automobile had been invented.
I agree with this for a typical-length game. But I'd guess its worst-case is inferior due to some pathologically long games.
> Companies have a very strong incentive to ensure their products are supported long terms and work well.

This is only sometimes true. If a company knows their product's growth phase is over, they may decide to milk the existing customers as much as possible. That's the right choice for maximizing profit.

I believe that's what happened with a previous company I worked at. Vendor of an old software product started suing about licensing violations trying to extract more. They couldn't harm future sales, because no one was going to buy the thing anymore. A team spent a year replacing it.
Overall seems positive, some interesting pieces:

> The only measured exploratory covariate with a significant interaction with treatment was lifetime history of SSRI use, which was associated with improved efficacy of MDMA-AT (P = 0.02; Supplementary Table 5). Covariates significantly impacting the main effect were sex assigned at birth and baseline Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)-II score; female sex assigned at birth and baseline BDI-II score ≥23 were both associated with improved outcomes irrespective of treatment assignment (P < 0.05).

This is an interesting outcome, particularly the SSRI usage

> Eight participants (MDMA-AT, n = 7; placebo with therapy, n = 1) experienced cardiac TEAEs, which included palpitations (MDMA-AT, n = 5 (9.4%); placebo with therapy, n = 1 (2.0%)) and tachycardia (MDMA-AT, n = 2 (3.8%)); all were mild.

Seems a bit concerning, but I have little to measure this against.

> superiority of MDMA-AT over SSRIs cannot be assumed without a direct comparison

I feel as though this should be done. Even though the results are promising they come with a significant safety risk for the participants who are essentially at the mercy of the administrator and could be easily subject to abuse.

That being said, for people with severe PTSD this is surely a godsend. Maybe we can mitigate the safety issue other ways.
Well sure, but how on earth are you going to claim it does not compete when you use that very code for the employer?

By all means try stuff out with some hobby project but don't be an idiot and tell your employer you've reused 'their' code (or at least, code in their codebase) for other clients. Either get an agreement up front or keep it secret.

A contract that grants your employer copyright to code you wrote and used in their codebase is easily enforceable. An exception would be code you wrote before the contract, but in that case using the code without some kind of agreement up front is still dangerous.

>The mint? I mean, I like some kind of flavoring. Mint is nice.

I’m saying it’s a subjective nice, it’s not adding to the hygienic effect of toothpaste. Its was added to feel clean, not because it actually does any cleaning.

Fluoride works, but the concentration in toothpaste is usually too low to be effective.
> Warnings are pointless. They are nothing but noise and invisible ...

I absolutely abhor the the trend to accept that this is OK. Your code shouldn't generate warnings and the build system should treat them as errors.
Heh. Well, I guess... sorry I didn't come help :) (I interviewed but turned down my offer.)

I guess, yes, from a behavioral change standpoint they’re effective, even if they don’t objectively contribute to hygiene themselves.
Good find! I was always curious how this worked.

I'm a big fan of tools like secretive[1] that can help solve this problem by using biometrics to shift the UX/security trade-off and thus make it feasible to always require some kind of authentication to sign a token with a key.

I'm not aware of any tools that do the same for Linux, and a quick Google search doesn't turn up much[2]. It does look like you can at least get a notification[3], though.

This could provide another layer of protection on the user's endpoint device in addition the network monitoring called out in the article. Defense in depth, and all that.

Yes; but there's also descriptions of legacy container formats no one cares about any more. I still recommend it and have my own copy, I just recall skipping over quite a bit of material.
How about caching the zip file and adding a '-z' to the curl command to only download if newer.
I would agree up until recently. I am starting to think, though, that behavioral is only relevant in an economy of choice. With choice I keep it simple to having the option to spend or not wealth (including consuming/selling some of your stock). The less choice in the market, the more the classical models will be reasonable and efficient approximations as they can accommodate one sided choices. Complex dynamics are not what we experience now. There is a market direction, the power to impose it and its application at clear sight.
I used to have a smallpox scar but it eventually faded away. I am in my 50s.
I'm not the best person to answer this, but my understanding is yes. The claim is that it's an almost ubiquitous phenomenon; many theories, I think even including non-supersymmetric theories, have something similar going on where a geometric object can determine the results of certain Feynman diagram calculations (maybe still only at tree level). There was even an example I saw in a lecture where some topics that would be taught in a first year quantum field theory course fit into this framework.

Nima Arkani-Hamed has a bunch of lectures on YouTube that are pretty entertaining, and while they can get quite technical, he says a lot that can be appreciated without understanding the details.
Hopefully you get it from a dentist visit because unless you use a prescription toothpaste, it probably doesn’t have much effect.
That's if they didn't use any resources from their employer.

If that code touched their work laptop (which it did since he showed it), it's now company property.

That code most likely belongs to Uber legally, but they probably don't care that much.
I've never used it, but if memory serves they are, like many other companies, using a fork clang. So I expect it will be about as fast if not slower then clang.
I've been hearing about this for a long time - probably since the late 1990s, so I'm surprised to see that it seems only in the last couple of years that there are phase three trials. I would imagine that the safety profile of MDMA is already well understood / fairly well researched in the 1950s and 1960s
I really wanted this to be a service that manages environment variables locally and in the cloud.

When we've set this up in the past, it was a bit of a pain to have local envs, and cloud envs, and the build system needs to get the cloud ones, etc. etc.
I get you and that makes sense, and we're discussing things at a scale that I don't have experience with. I just wouldn't have been comfortable shipping this code without observing it functioning in some way. If your production environment is so complex that you can't properly test things locally then you should certainly have a staging environment that makes that kind of testing possible. I would never be satisfied doing zero manual testing of the code I ship.
Like many things in this area, the answer is usually "You'll find out if you want to go up against an army of lawyers". The last three companies I worked for all claimed ownership of any IP I create, on or off the job, using company's equipment or using my own equipment. One of them explicitly called it out during the interview: You will have to stop working on open source or publishing side projects when working here. Can they do that? Maybe, probably not. It doesn't matter because I do not plan to bankrupt myself fighting their lawyers.
I made something similar for my dog. Arduino Nano, GPS module, LoRa module, 18650 battery, and an antenna. I then had a "base station" using ESP8266 with a LoRa module and antenna that would forward the GPS data to the cloud. I was in a heavily wooded area and the LoRa signal would start dropping around 1000ft. I didn't know free SIM data was a possibility via Hologram.io or I probably would've gone that route.

I really don't like the idea of attaching a lithium ion battery to my dog's neck, and I never learned how to design PCB's, so I'd also like to revisit my project with some improvements.
Europe was - and probably still is - very tired of war. Effectively we're still in recovery from World War II and this is something that countries that have not seen major wars fought on their land have a hard time understanding.

I think what powered the EU through the last 70 years or so is that I think they - and me! - truly believed that we could outgrow war as a concept. Putin has shown that to be an illusion so now - reluctantly - the EU is gearing up for war again. But a reluctant fighter isn't necessarily a bad one, just one that knows what is at stake. I'm pretty sure that given the very vivid memories of WWII (some of which are still in living memory) that there will be plenty of unity in going after those that made it so.
Thank you for this! A voice of reason to go against the big outrage machine being fired up. Your take makes so much more sense. Sarcasm and jaded humour can come across really badly when taken out of context.

To anyone seeing this I'd suggest to watch the actual recording. It's only 2m30s long and linked by the article [0].

I spent a bit of time in an environment around helping people with disabilities and this sounds quite familiar. It had the worst jokes and the most horrible kind of humour. It helps coping with what is essentially a shitty environment and being exposed to how bad things can be for people. It didn't stop anyone from actually helping people and being decent. But yeah, it wouldn't have looked good at all if it was recorded.

There are comics to suit every literary taste. Understanding Comics, by Scott McCloud, is an examination of the medium in the form of a comic.

Doing it well comes down to experience, but doing it at all comes down to asking which of your unconscious assumptions are hard requirements.

Compared to Russia however they are a model of democracy, and that is one of the reasons this invasion happened in the first place.
