Flagging this article for being too stupid to warrant reading. In 1970, nobody was afraid their savings disappeared; when a bank fails, people would lose their savings unless the government insures or rescues the bank.

Given the extremely low quality of this article, and given that the author is a finance editor rather than some freelance contributor to Business Insider, I very much hope that HN readers would stop upvoting submissions from Business Insider in the future.
It's very easy to spot those who are intuitively correct based on past experience, even if they can't necessarily explain. Those people are clearly very senior, and are the folks you want around providing feedback on technical decisions.
This sounds much more reasonable to me. Banning unnecessary hardware DRM and requiring specs to get published would be a much more effective way to stimulate the market. Forcing manufacturers to publish Linux drivers would probably just end up in low-effort support on either side. The last person I want writing my Linux drivers is someone who doesn't care.
Shouldn't it be clear that if you're paying a software engineer $150K, the employer is getting $300-500k in value from their labor?
That's basically it. With the 2018-2022 boom of hirings, many companies just offered senior position for anyone that showed minimal experience, or promoted their juniors in an attempt to reduce turnover. Then we get here.
Individual death is not the same as an extinction. And after doing so they wouldn't be able to spread their idea, they'd be removing themselves from any ability to intervene.

A more appropriate response that still points out their absurdity would be to ask why they aren't committing any mass murders.
A similar sized ICE vehicle by weight will be much larger in volume. I compare a Tesla sedan with an actual ICE sedan and not a 3 row minivan.
Also citation needed for a society >= 500 years ago with life expectancy of 70 years, infant mortality excluded.

Sepsis, injuries, and diseases of adulthood should not be excluded, we're talking about passing on of genes here.
That is true and the usual recommendation is to follow hashtags but I think making lists easily shareable would also help a great deal.

I hardly see how in that context I was using it as an excuse (you mean an excuse for China, right?). If anything, I am saying the opposite: the US can't use China as an excuse, because it has a history of also doing pretty bad things.

In other words, I was answering to what I was understanding as: "Oh it's okay we invaded Irak, because China had Tiananmen".
In the old days there were plenty of websites designed only for IE6, and a few that refused to load if they detected any other browser string. It doesn’t make much sense today, Firefox loads sites developed for Chrome just fine. There is no ActiveX like “embrace and extend” coming from the Google camp quite yet.
Or if not kill you, certainly spoil your day. Candiru.
When I was a kid, I fell on my wrist. It healed up badly and formed a lot of calcium deposits around the bones. I couldn't bend my wrist backwards more than a couple degrees and it was painful. Went to a PT who used ultrasound treatments and stretching to break down the deposits, which freed my wrist up.

This was in the 1980's.
This. Linked post is a misconception of how EU actually work. They will never "hardcode" something like "linux drivers" into the law. But, in theory, they could write a law like "If you want to sell your device in the EU, you must publish a freely available technical spec with enough level of detail to write a functioning driver".
Not all compression is created equally. Timeseries data has well-defined characteristics that generic block level compression doesn't understand. It's a great example where application-level compression is worthwhile. The proof is in the pudding.
> In the summer of 1921 in Mingo County, hundreds of miners were arrested without habeas corpus and other basic legal rights.

I mean, er, yes, sounds like it.
Why should EU give preference to Linux over any other operating system?

A much more EU "style" directive would be to force the companies to release enough of the specs so anyone can write the driver if they want to.
It's not a "trap" if it's the only way to buy a house and avoid falling into the renting "trap" instead...
Dolphins do some pretty terrible things to humans and other dolphins. If they could use a gun and understood the utility of a phone they probably would.
>My bad experience with TimescaleDB 3 years ago was that enabling compression required disabling the "dynamic labels" feature, which was a total nonstarter for us.

What is the "dynamic labels" feature? Is it a part of Postgres or Timescale?
So people in your type of neighbourhood maybe can't start walking everywhere right away, but you don't need to also think "walking is out forever" - you can start lobbying your local politicians, and voting for the ones who want to improve things rather than sit in their 4x4 enjoying the status quo.

(And personally if I lived somewhere unwalkable I'd move home to address that, though I appreciate there can be reasons to either not want to move or to not be able to move.)
I don't see that it's certain.
Yes. My point is that Mozilla are failing as stewards of Firefox, so I can see these two projects continuing their legacy.

> So an email with sender address jane@example.com that is DKIM signed only proves that the email was send by a host that is a allowed to send email on behalf of example.com. It does not prove in any way that the email was sent by Jane.

You should probably stop "consulting on email security" if you don't understand that a DKIM-signed message proves the mailhost was authorized, and at least some of the headers could easily prove who sent the message.
I'd love a blog or a write up on the rewriting process, lessons learnt etc. It would be awesome!
It’s incredibly effective. People leave that thinking most children cry non stop at completely random intervals, as if our millennia of evolution hasn’t informed us how to do this simple task.
Maybe not anyone. I could be biased with sensitive hearing.

I know that in grade school, part of the requirements for joining band, due to the size of my school and overwhelming demand, was passing an audiometry test, where we were evaluated on a few different contexts related to ability to discern detail in audio, such as pitch and volume. I remember being pulled away into the principal's office where some of the test administrators were present, and they accused me of cheating and demanded to know how I did it.

Apparently, I was the only student in the entire state to get a perfect score on that test, at least for that particular year. Unsure if they were implying I was the first ever, but that seems ridiculous to me because passing the test boiled down to just paying close attention.

So I really don't know. Maybe the average person can't hear it, but I know just what to look for in the high-end and usually guess even 320kbps mp3 correctly from my own self-tests wherein I would randomly select between different encodings of a music file. I'm confident I would do well in an administered ABX test if I'm simply being tasked with finding the difference between mp3 lossy encodings and a lossless reference.
> The FSF is ideologically opposed to youtube and other proprietary services. They don't want to use it and will not use it. It's their work and they have no obligation to you - it's like going to a vegan party, complaining they have no food you like and demanding they order some hamburgers for you. There's nothing to think more, the FSF shouldn't use YouTube or similar services.

It definitely should, but it doesn’t want to. That’s two different things. The goal of the FSF is to promote free software; that they don’t want to do it through proprietary mediums is obviously a legitimate choice, but that doesn’t make it intelligent.
My current gripe with Twitter is the unauthenticated access to content. I mean, I used to log in every months or so, because a random discussion was interesting and I wanted to favorite it (I think I witted twice in my life). Now it's impossible.

In the meantime reddit just made it's content more accessible for unauthenticated users. I dislike spez as much as Musk (maybe a bit more even, I still have affection for 2012 Elon, before the drugs hit him too much, and I always disliked Spez), but i'm am able to recognize when an idea is good.
Always wondered why having the military running submarine units for commercial power has not happened. They have the experience of running safely in more challenging conditions.
We're going to continue to support our customers on v1 and v2. We're building migration tooling over to v3 for those that want it. We have multiple years of transition ahead of us, we expect to have customers on all 3 versions for quite a while.
To each their own, I find Chrome's solution unusable past 20 tabs or so.

Tab Groups and/or Tree-style tabs are pretty much required for working with hundreds of tabs, though.
Yes, I can agree with all that: there is a difference (I was not saying that China was all fine), and the American democracy is broken.
This is also why you should get multiple quotes for any transaction without an obvious and transparent market. When your roofer quotes you $XK to replace your shingles, that might be what he thinks is a competitive rate in your market, or it might be the "I am too busy but if they really want to pay that much I'll find a way to make it work" rate.

A guy who's drowning in business and a guy who's sitting idle will likely quote you very different rates. Obviously you should also be conscious of why someone is busier than another, but sometimes it's just a matter of timing, etc.
you can but any sort of even trivial editing would undo it.
There are areas of the universe that are "voids" where there's almost nothing, maybe that's where this cold/dark matter is? There's nothing nearby to warm it up? Though this article seems to be specifically about the Milky Way.
I think a better question would be whether I approve or even know about Mozilla's CEO.

I don't know a thing about Mozilla's current CEO, and I don't give a shit about them either.

I still use Firefox and haven't used Chrome in many years.

Is this an interview question for the candidate, or a question for the employer? Why should the candidate be writing a skills matrix for an engineering team if that's sounding an awful lot like a management task?

Brb. Designing a dolphin compatible firearm.

We'll see how high and mighty you are when the entirety of order Cetaecea is made equal, and packing, man-thing.

Seriously, anthropocentrism is a habit that can be broken. The fact that people instantly feel badass at the prospect of challenging something unarmed just reinforces my belief in the fact the only universally respected language is violence;and further that equality without the clear and present capability to reciprocate violence is not true equality at all.

I guarantee every person against preserving the Natural Order would object way louder to equipping and enabling the Natural Order to preserve itself.
It is difficult, but it's possible, and I've had to take that hard road.

At a high level it looked like

1. create API schema and start filling it out with useful stuff

2. one by one, migrate applications to the new schema. You'll find stuff missing from the API schema, and you'll add it, to support each application. Ideally you'll find commonality across applications, so you end up with a cohesive API schema and not a jumble of application-specific stuff. But this takes discipline!

3. as each application moves over, remove their access from the low-level schema(s)
I had the same issue with my Pixel 5. I booked an uber one time and suddenly it dialed 911. Have to switch off the phone. Most tensed 30 mins of last winter. Later figured out the issue with power button; works fine till now.
Writing off a shift towards walkability as a "near-impossible social solution" I think is misrepresenting the nature of the problem.

Shifting car-centric suburbs and exurbs to a walking-friendly lifestyle is a massive challenge, but that only covers 20% of the population.

The remaining 80% of the population already live in urban areas that, in many cases, are already very livable car-free, and are a few small policy changes away from taking a massive step forward.

Even a couple large municipalities legalizing accessory dwellings, abolishing parking minimums, and rezoning to allow business conversations of existing residential properties could have a sizable impact.

Additionally, many of the most expensive areas in the country are ones that are designed specifically to support walkability, which is a strong indicator of unmet demand for such areas.
I'm sure someone will pitch in with specific sub-dialects as well shortly.

I had a similar experience as your moms colleague.

I transferred 20k from savings to checking. During the process I think what happened is the web banking page froze and allowed me to hold the enter key on confirm that repeated several times. I ended up with 200k in my account that came as a negative 180k balance to my saving account sent to my checking account.
(values rounded for story simplicity)

This meant that not only did their online portal not have controls to make sure that internal money transfers are confirmed before processing. They also had no controls to make sure that when an internal transfer is done that the money is there to be transferred.

I waited a couple days expecting a call. Nope. At the end of week I call them. Get transferred around a bunch. The whole time everyone is saying everything is good nothing is wrong, there is no problem. I 100% certain every single one of them was lying through their teeth while they go the FBI on the phone because of the automatic assumption that the computers are right and I am automatically a criminal. There is no way all those people saw a -200k balance in a saving account and thought it was fine. (BTW that means it is standard bank policy to lie to a customer when something is wrong)

So what happened. They immediately zeroed my accounts and froze all my bank activity for three months while they "investigated" Then they only returned 15K of the original 20k that I moved so they effectively stole 5k from me. I spend another 6 months trying to get that money back and did not succeed.

I would have been screwed if I had not been born poor and was familiar with the banking system corruption. I have my income,spending,saving and investing split among different banks and banks accounts in case of something like this ever happened.

The bank initials are WF.

How can this be seen as compliant with GDPR?
Google tracking me and figuring out my identity is one thing and me giving my real life identity to them on a platter is another. There is zero doubt in the latter.

Again, the solution is simple, sell YouTube gift cards. Steam can do it. I think iTunes does it. It should be trivial for a company of Google’s size.

If programs were easy to prove correct, there wouldn't be a testing and debugging industry.

Bugs don't have to be root caused and solved in order to call into question the use of some computer situation as circumstantial evidence.

The claimed buggy, externally-visible behavior just has to be reproduced. If there are third-party reports of it, that would help.

You can, but I'd argue if your API schema is just 1-to-1 views for the underlying tables, you're not getting much value from this approach.
Both spellings have been used in English for a long time [0]; "Virgil" is just the far more common of the two. Wikipedia claims that the original spelling "Vergilius" was changed to "Virgilius" some centuries after his death [1], and the latter became the form that spread to other languages.

I don't think the launch codes are what matters. It it is the fissile material. Worst case, you can build new nukes with it. Not easy, but also not impossible. I have no idea if Ukraine had a choice or not, but at the time Russia was weak and Putin was not yet in power. It could have gone in a myriad of different ways.

They don't necessarily have to: there's another, more comprehensive hammer they (or the US for that matter) could use: disallow vertical integration.

Force hardware vendors to only sell hardware. If any software that can be changed remotely or by the user is off limits. Even firmware. Conversely, software vendors can only sell (or freely distribute) software. For vendors from abroad, don't go extra-territorial, just force them to chose: either they only sell hardware in the EU, or they only sell software. Intel and microsoft would have no problem. NVDIA might complain very loudly. Apple would likely have to split itself.

Now the complicated part is how to define a company. We don't want a single company to just split itself into 2 legal entities that work so closely together they might as well be the same company.

Do that, and you'll get much better than device drivers for one free OS. You'll get the necessary specs required to make it work on all OSes. Even better, the user-facing hardware interface will start to matter, and there will be some selection pressure to drive the more complex ones, or the non-standard ones, out of the market. (Won't be ideal, I can see a particular over-complex architecture win out, similar to x86, but at least there won't be that many left, so writing a driver for most devices will actually be possible).
Has anybody used FlashAttention in their model? Are there any benchmark numbers on the quality impact?
If you end up in a situation where people consistently offer you more money than you are otherwise getting, you will solve the time problem by shifting to the more-money type work...

Unfortunately we have been pushing the costs onto everybody else: as evidenced by climate change and micro plastics. And now the bill is starting to come due.
there was sandy and then there was the hurricane that happened two years ago... this shit just keeps happening. the entire drainage/sewer system needs renovation and the city/state hasn't invested in those projects.

My understanding was that Manhattan didn't get hit bad but Brooklyn did. it's not just a few people who got flooded, it was entire schools, fire depts, parks, reservoirs, shops, etc.
Yes, but how long should that feedback take? OP mentioned "minutes"; is "hours" unacceptable?
It isn't the distance that is insurmountable by bike, no.

Alone it would be fine, I know what I'm doing. If I add my children to the mix, it is a little sketchy due to what I'd consider tricky spots.

There are no sidewalks, no bike lanes, no curbs, a squeeze over a bridge where two cars won't fit around the corner simultaneously, and a couple of roundabouts that drivers just don't understand (one normal, one mini). I can't quite trust them to do the right things. The drivers or my children in this instance.
Child free is fine, but read again what OP said. He's saying our children are damned from birth. Ok, valid opinion but how bout just shut up about it.
Ignoring the unnecessarily editorialized title, this article is an example of "lie with statistics". The are basically arguing "look at the data", but every single example I've seen about arguing a data-driven approach to WFH is cherry picking things to fit their desired outcome, and that's on both sides of the argument.

Yes, it's fairly straightforward to look at productivity for rote, repeatable tasks. "How many calls did a CSR handle?" or "How many insurance claims did this person process?" are easily measurable. But that ignores the fears that business leaders have that, over time, the kind of innovation, motivation and culture that in-person interactions help foster will fade, leading to a sort of slow, long term decline. And the past 25 years have shown that companies that can foster and harness innovation well do much better than companies that simply focus on "repeatable process improvement".

I'm certainly not arguing either side is "right", but I would say anyone arguing "look at the data" on this topic is just using data to match their desired outcome, as there is simply not enough time to assess the long term "innovation" impact of WFH.
