the non profit world uses those terms ambiguously

I paid estate and non profit lawyers to give me relevant case law and journals to understand. Really powerful stuff to learn before you need it.

How would margins be defining in this case? When I hear that the margins at gas at a gas station are x%, I understand that they are basically talking about how much I pay per gallon minus how much the gas station paid per gallon. However, it feels like defining margins in a health system would be much more complex. Is it just lookin at the raw materials (e.g. how much do medications, bandages, and scalpels cost the hospital)? Depreciation on expensive equipment like MRIs? Does pay factor in and if so is it just the salaries of people who actually do the work like managers, nurses, and doctors or also the compensation for people like CEOs?
I use profiles because I want state isolated for my purpose, not per web origin. So for example, I may need to visit google sites related to my employer's Gsuite, or my personal account used with GMail and phone, or as an anonymous user.

This also means that I have become somewhat resistant to scripted UI integrations. I don't really want my apps or sites calling willy-nilly into each other. I want _links_ which I can deliberately copy/paste into different profiles depending on my goals. E.g. do I want to visit someone's Google drive shared link as my personal account, work account, or anonymously so it doesn't pollute either of my drive UIs?
Well, that was a stupid amount of fun.

Longest "Pi" sequence found: 31415926

For the digits 0-9, there are stretches 8 (i.e. 11111111) long for all the digits, but 6, 7, and 8 have 9 digit stretches (which given the property that a 9 digit random number would be in there at ~9.5%, is an anomaly!).

12345678 exists, but not 123456789. Similarly counting backward, but 876543210 exists. 012345678 does not.

A restraining order for domestic abuse being referred to as "best the shit out of" sounds like a pretty bog standard simplification to me. After all colloquially how else do you define domestic abuse?

FBI warns of North Korean hackers using VPNs to infiltrate businesses
> I don't think any jury in the land would convict someone of killing such an agent that refused to identify themselves

I think you give juries too much credit, and maybe voir dire in general.

The prosecution would simply hammer on the fact that they "murdered a cop" and how they don't dispute the fact they killed them, they have the murder weapon, etc. They'd bring up crying relatives of the deceased. They'd bring up the defendant's prior criminal history if one exists, or find old social media posts critical of LE or the government. And they'd go right up to the line of perjury without crossing it, asking half a dozen people from the same department about "department policy" around identifying yourself.

Not to mention they'd almost certainly ask for a change of venue to a more LE-friendly area of the country. So you end up with some young kid from an urban area on the coast on trial for killing a cop in rural Colorado or Nevada or something. It's unlikely that goes well for them, especially if they don't have the funds for a bulldog defense attorney.
An open-source session replay benchmark
Hey HN, I'm Vadim, the CTO at highlight.io. We offer session replay to engineering teams and have had a lot of questions around client-side performance.

You could somehow come up with a "standard accepted income" for given professions (these are totally from the arse, of course, but the idea holds) like CEO, 1 million, surgeon, 500k, general practitioner, 250k, nurse 60k, whatever. How you come to those numbers is left to the reader. You'd also generate 'baseline' for other expenses.

Then you compare given hospitals to those numbers and where they exceed them, that is counted as "income" - if they're paying the CEO 2m vs the 1m expected, that's 1m of income.

In the US, you can get hit for defamation even of a public figure if you made the statement with "reckless disregard for its truth or falseness". You don't have to know for sure that it's false. Either knowingly lying or "reckless disregard" is "actual malice".

Private citizens need to prove actual malice to collect punitive damages, but mere negligence is enough for compensatory damages. That's for knowledge about the statement itself; I'm not sure what you have to know or intend about how much damage you'll do.

That's constitutional standards; there may be state-to-state variations that impose more conditions.

On edit: corrected; even for a non-public figure, it needs to be negligently false, so having taken reasonable steps to verify it should immunize you. But of course this kid clearly did not do this.
I get the feeling this is a FUD piece meant to make using a VPN paint a person as automatically suspicious.

The first thing I thought when reading the title was that if a police officer sues a citizen in this manner they should immediately and irrevocably lose any qualified immunity status for the same incident. If the PO didn't do anything wrong and they actually do have a case against the person, they should lose nothing by no longer having QI.
Re: your edit - I've always thought it'd make for a fun pet project to take the hyper-engagement-driven approach that social media apps take but apply it to Wikipedia. Like a Tiktok-style vertical feed of articles that tries to find the ones you'll engage with most (WikiScroll [0] is already part of the way there). Or a chatroom corresponding to each article that people can banter in, kind of like you described. Or a DM feature but you can only send Wikipedia links. The idea of Wikipedia as a social catalyst is super interesting to me.

One effect of this is that stocks historically average about 8% a year. As this gets closer to that number you can expect money from the stock market to start pouring into bonds. Why take risk when you have a guaranteed yield? This will probably drive the market down much further than it has in 2022.

US Treasury Bonds are considered the risk-free rate.

If you have $TICKER that you expect to yield 5%, you wouldn't buy it because you undertake risk to invest in a company to get 5%. You'd buy a Treasury bond instead to get 5% risk-free. As a consequence, stock prices should drop until yields + premium to take on risk exceeds the risk-free rate.
Considering that other nations with similar growth rates have much higher taxes, I'd say the evidence is that our current tax rates amount to a giveaway for the rich. Of course, they also happen to be the ones with real political power (see Grover Norquist), so nothing is likely to change any time soon.

Since roughly WW2, it seems like exemptions have steadily fallen and marginal rates with them, but generally you get consistent revenue as a percentage of GDP. I'm inclined to believe, based on that, the we are near the cultural maximum for the Laffer curve for the US, given present incentives. It's possible you could chase it higher if you disassembled all social programs so that people would fear more for their livelihoods, I guess.

Maybe I'm getting older, but all of these except collection expressions look ugly, and I'd avoid using them.
It is shocking, but what's more shocking is that doing it correctly is kind of rocket science. MySQL simply isn't built for picking a truly random row performantly (I'm not sure if any of the common relational databases are?).

If you do something naive like "ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1" performance is worse than abysmal. Similarly, doing a "LIMIT 0 OFFSET RAND() * row_count" is comparably abysmal. While if you do something performant like "WHERE id >= RAND() * max_id ORDER BY id LIMIT 1", you encounter the same problem where the id gaps in deleted articles make certain articles more likely to be chosen.

There are only two "correct" solutions. The first is to pick id's at random and then retry when an id isn't a valid article, but the worry here is with how sparse the id's might be, and the fact it might have to occasionally retry 20 times -- unpredictable performance characteristics like that aren't ideal. While the second is to maintain a separate column/table that includes all valid articles in a sequential integer sequence, and then pick a random integer guaranteed to be valid. But the problem with performance is now that every time you delete an article, you have to recalculate and rewrite, on average, half the entire column of integers.

So for something that's really just a toy feature, the way Wikipedia implements it is kind of "good enough". And downsides could be mitigated by recalculating each article's random number every so often, e.g. as a daily or weekly or slowly-but-constantly-crawling batch job, or every time a page gets edited.

You could also dramatically improve it (but without making it quite perfect) by using the process as it exists, but rather than picking the article with the closest random number, select the ~50 immediately lower and higher than it, and then pick randomly from those ~100. It's a complete and total hack, but in practice it'll still be extremely performant.
It really sucks, but the reason why review happened is because there is an onslaught of people who show up to write promotional articles, many of them paid by PR agencies and reputation management firms.

The previous system of doing post-publish review of new articles had an even worse backlog because it let a huge volume of shit into the front door.

The root cause of this is Wikipedia’s huge influence in Google SEO and knowledge graph. As the open web is dying, it’s one of the few reliable ways to dump information straight to the top of Google SERPs. When I write new Wikipedia articles it is often indexed to the first page of results in minutes.
I don't think you are reading that the same way most others here would.

> Who uses cash these days?

Plenty of people.

I don't think using cash is even a little suspicious, but even if it were that doesn't justify the authorities stealing that cash.

Carrying cash is entirely legal. There should be at least some indication that the money is connected to a crime before confiscation, and the mere existence of the money is not an indication of a connection to a crime.

Is this "just" a hit piece on Marc Andreessen, the person?
Defamation requires negligence (if the plaintiff is not a public figure) or actual malice (if the plaintiff is a public figure). In every case you'll ever hear about, the plaintiff is a public figure, and I don't doubt the police officers will be ruled public figures here.

Actual malice in the legal sense has nothing to do with the regular meaning of those words in English. It instead requires that the defamer have seriously entertained doubts about the truth of the statements, and published them anyways.

In this case? I'd have a hard time finding them defamatory were I on the jury. One of the statements is alleging that the cop is a "convicted" domestic abuser, where the truth is that he has a protective order placed against him in relation to alleged domestic abuse yet has never been charged nor convicted. Another statement is alleging that the cop is "on the slow spectrum" on social media, which--honestly, I'm surprised the judge didn't toss that on motion to dismiss, it's pretty clearly typical hyperbolic puffery.
I appreciated one of the top comments:

Take it at face value.

Put it in context, though.

1. The culture might based on convoluted psychological theories. The culture might value asshole behavior. The culture might value people skills over technical skills.

None of those is a reflection on you…assuming you’re not offered a job in an asshole culture.

2. Finding reasons to reject candidates is most of the work of a hiring pipeline. There’s one job and a hundred qualified applications. Again that’s not a reflection on you.

3. If it was a great place to work, they would probably be hiring through personal networks not talking to strangers.

4. Bullshit interview questions can measure how a candidate navigates bullshit. Selection for thigh high bullshit boots is useful in organizations with a lot of bullshit.

5. Yes not getting a job sucks. But if you walk in looking for a job, you’ll probably walk out looking for a job.

Good luck.
>wikipedia's desire for reliable sources which generally means newspapers or academic sources

Which is one of the main ironies associated with Wikipedia notability. Something or someone written about in some small-town newspaper or an obscure journal that five people have read can be considered more notable than something with a fairly big online footprint but nothing canonical.

For that matter, there's a ton of pre-web information that just doesn't really much exist outside of primary sources.

I believe you are correct, and this is why it's so difficult to discuss outside of thought experiments.

I brought up the concept of Philosophy Zombies in another comment because it's a similar "unprovable" claim that can have plausible arguments that don't lead to someone changing their mind about the concept.

I think FOSS projects always struggle on notability, with deletionists targetting sources that are relatively minor FOSS magazines, even those with actual print runs. FOSS projects rarely have the marketing team to pay or nag to get a mention in a larger trade mag..

What's interesting is this is more a phenomenon on the English wikipedia, so if you're disappointed that a search for information on a FOSS project is turning up nothing on en.wikipedia.org, try just switching en for fr or de (both relatively large) and then using google translate or your browser's built-in translate [firefox] to get the info you need.

Sad. And yeah, I feel deletionists are out of control on english wikipedia.

> On the other hand, no-one has yet come up with a way to monetize a topic like Pseudoneuroterus mazandarani or use it to push a contentious point of view. Hence articles about species and populated places are generally not deleted, even if the topic is only weakly sourced

This is not why this happens on Wikipedia; sourcing is a factor, but notability derived from the nature and quality of the cited sources is the most commonly used criteria to delete articles.

For example, Wikipedia once had a notability guideline that a person who completed in a sport at the international level was probably notable, so a weakly sourced article on, say, a footballer with a single international cap could be notable enough to avoid deletion.

But then editors removed this guideline and fell back onto the general notability guideline (GNG), which is much stricter for people: substantial biographical coverage from reliable mainstream sources at the national level. Match reports don't count (too routine), no local interviews (too primary), no enthusiast publications (not reliable enough), etc.

Of course, this meant that hundreds of stubs and dozens of full articles about women's international footballers would never meet GNG due to a relative lack of mainstream media coverage, even if they won a World Cup. So all it took was one editor to decide to do almost nothing but flag hundreds such articles since the opening of the Women's World Cup this summer, almost all of which were deleted.

So it's not this reason that keeps moths and places:

> On the other hand, no-one has yet come up with a way to monetize a topic like Pseudoneuroterus mazandarani or use it to push a contentious point of view.

But rather, very different standards of notability are why there are more low-traffic articles on items and places that can't sue Wikipedia editors for libel.
