You can hard disagree, but there are polls showing pretty wide spread support for specifically Hamas among students especially at elite UCs. The goals of Hamas are articulated pretty clearly so as comforting as it is to pretend they don't mean it in the bad way a very decent percentage literally do mean it. If you honestly believe they don't mean it do a fun experiment stand with say flag of Israel on UC Berkley or UC LA campus and than with flag of Hamas or Isis see the reaction you get. Or not even Israel flag just US flag.
I often wonder if the math for evolution is a similar problem.

There's only a limited string of code that will survive and thrive.

There's a set of evolutionary milestones or versions that need to happen to get where we are.

There's a fixed amount of time on earth or perhaps the universe.

Is there really enough time for all those dice roles?
There's an application called "should I answer?" which could help you?
They used tips (and may still use tips) to refund themselves for the minimum pay offered to dashers.

The language was very deceptive, as giving a tip did not always increase the amount of money received by a dasher.
Since you probably know, has anyone managed to create a logical qbit yet?
As usual, the anti-union argument on HN is "The rest of you shouldn't put up lion defenses to protect you because I'm strong enough to fight off a lion and the fences would just get in my way".

Hopefully for you, your luck holds, and you never get ill/weak/sick/unable to fight lions. Like everyone else does eventually.
DoorDash sent out an email yesterday informing customers of the changes. They only mentioned that tipping was moving to after the checkout step, but nothing else. I simultaneously decided to stop ordering DoorDash yesterday; I've been gaining too much weight recently and spending too much money.
They don’t currently but they say the feature is coming. All the passkey features in Bitwarden are very much half-baked at the moment as it is brand new.

On mobile you can’t even use the passkeys yet. They show up on mobile but no way to use them.

I hope Bitwarden finishes the features soon.

I don't know that the origin of the name is fully known, but:

Pirate radio in the UK in the 1960s was often from actual ships floating just offshore in international waters (or disused forts/installations located in them).

There was more of a "evading the authorities at sea" aspect than I think you're giving it credit for.
Musicians that create original beats using samples of other artists music often owe royalties.

I think this is a better analogy. If a generative AI model was trained on vague memories of its inspirations, the output would suck. You only get impressive output when you use high quality exact copy training data.

Do you know any artists that can generate an exact copy of “girl with a pearl earring” or any other masterpiece you can name?
The explanation is in this comment thread:

The whole point of Kubernetes is to move all of the machine management work to one place - the Kubernetes cluster nodes - so that your services are cattle, not pets.

But there is no equivalent system for whole clusters. To transition from one cluster to another, you have to handle everything that k8s gives you without relying on k8s for it (restarting services, rerouting traffic, persistent storage etc). If you can do all that without k8s, why use k8s in the first place?

So no, in practice clusters, just like any other stateful system, are not really cattle, they are pets you care for and carefully manage. Individual cluster nodes can come and go, but the whole cluster is pretty sacred.
Most decent companies and especially tech do AB testing for everything including having people whose only job is to make sure those test results are statistically valid.
To me, this comes back to the question of skin in the game. If you have skin in the game, then you produce the best uncertainty estimates you can (by any means). If you don't, you just sit back and say "well these are the error bars my model came up with".
Eye candy. Endless abstraction layers.

WNYC's On the Media ran a great six-part podcast/broadcast series "The Divided Dial" about radio, its reach and significance, and of course the increasing polarisation of the medium:

<https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/divided-dial>

Several times the point was made that radio is cheap, is accessible by virtually anyone, and in particular is effective at reaching rural regions and those travelling (often in cars or trucks), whether commuters, on-site work (construction, farming, etc.), or transportation work.

For many such audiences, radio is largely the only effective means of reaching them.
You might think we agree, but we don't. See elsewhere. Neither "XML" (nor "RSS") belong in any definition of "podcast" (unless it's to say something like "[...] often delivered via RSS", but at that point you're not really talking about the defining characteristic of it if it's optional).
I think that's covered by "[...] and has become a fixture in the lower-left corner of laptop keyboards ever since." ? But yes, it seems fairly Mac-centric.
I was not nearly clear or explicit enough in my comment, apologies for that. In sections 25 and 26 (page 14), the whistleblower report talks about the origins of the project. Dr. Donovan acquired the entire archive of the Facebook Files, and reached out to Dr. Latanya Sweeney, who she calls her "most trusted colleague":

> I chose to work with Dr. Sweeney because she was the shoulder I leaned
on when I needed to decode the politics of HKS. I regard Dr. Sweeney to be brilliant at
computer science, the foremost authority on privacy in technology, and had a vision to build the
FB Archive on the base of a data sharing platform that she had designed previously.

Donovan's vision was to build "a searchable archive of these documents for the public interest" and hold training workshops for other researchers. So Dr. Sweeney's lab built it, as was the plan; and held training workshops, which was a little hurtful to Donovan as she was not invited into that process.

After the fact, Sweeney summed up her view of their respective contributions in a private email to Donovan:

> The technological IP (design, architecture, and implementation) in FBarchive belongs to the Lab [i.e. Sweeney] alone. No one can claim IP over the original content of course, but the Lab also has IP in the redaction strategy used. Your team contributed the citation reference used to identify each image and document, and of course, you were part of the original concept. This is the kind of details that we will document on the history page.

And implies, like it's not even worth asserting directly, that TASC's contributions are historical, not current. A couple of responses later, Donovan says:

> TASC made many contributions including getting the documents and categorizing them, as well as promoting the archive in public forums, and having my team write testimonies and 1pagers, reviewing abstracts and holding office hours with students and so many meetings.

Dr. Donovan's complaints with the project as delivered seem to mostly NOT be that she wanted it to be different than it was, but rather, that the history page contains blatant lies that minimize Dr. Donovan and TASC's contributions. And also that it is incredibly unjust that she brought this highly valuable asset to the table, and without cause was not only shut out, but basically fired, and her historical contributions scrubbed. (Section 42.)

(To be clear, this is a sad and frustrating tale and if I was Donovan I'd be pissed too.)
Big Tech as a term doesn’t feel like it encompasses the specifically social influence of some of the social media companies (Meta could almost be called Big Social just by itself, but that’s a different conversation).

The reason it made sense to me is that when the article said “Big Tech” it didn’t feel right.
Briefly, in 2019, until it made the news and the policy was changed so that drivers kept 100% of tips. There's more nuance than "DD was keeping tips", but plenty already written about that if you care to find the 2019 articles.
Presumably on some programming exam where they asked for this.

Generally (in any field, not just sorting algorithms) I think there's value in understanding the step-by-step evolution of technology to reach the current state of the art, whatever that is.

And it does occasionally happen that the state of the art breaks (Russia jams the GPS signal), and then we have to backtrack() to some earlier version of tech. Better hope it still works and we remember how to use it!
As far as error bars are concerned, you could report some% credible intervals calculated from taking the some%tile out of your results. It’s somewhat Bayesian thinking but it will work better than confidence intervals.

The intuition would be that some% of your forecasts are between the bounds of the credible interval.
It’s such a memorable name for a tool like that. Other than losing your domain name to the topic, how do you feel about the de facto name?

To a far far lesser degree, I’ve experienced many examples of “you named it X but everyone at work calls it Y and now you have to live with that.” It used to really irk me for some reason.
It only adds like ~5ms. Unless you have `query_level_metrics_enabled` as True which takes more time. I didn't find that particularly useful on prod and instead just used it locally when fixing stuff. Depends on what data you need populated in your callback function on prod.

The header feature can also be useful. If you have a client on-call who's complaining about super slow page loads. Just check their network tab and see which response has a query count/time header which seems unnatural.
Maybe more importantly, you could get a distribution to support you but what about upstream projects? It'd be a big lift (if not impossible) to get projects like cert-manager cilium whatever to adopt the longer release cycle as well.

Is it normal for a distribution to also package upstream projects that customers want?
Anger and frustration is obviously not an appropriate response to constructive feedback offered in earnest, but do you have any insight into why they respond that way? Like naïveté as to why it's usually a bad idea to do that, them misinterpreting your intent, or redirected aggression from another source of frustration (like workload, deadlines, etc.)?
Sorry - yes I am - I had to look up some examples but I’m talking about juddering.
It's an improvement over passwords as long as two things are true:

1. Open source implementations will be indistinguishable to a 3rd party from the big tech versions (so that services can't refuse to authenticate devices that haven't been locked down), and

2. The private key can be extracted from the device by the user and backed up.
That's not quite what I imagine when I hear the term "gutting a team." Gutting a team is when then very significantly reduce its size and priority. Simply switching leadership of a project isn't gutting a team, it's normal university politics and infighting.

If they are forcing funding by Facebook/Meta, then that does seem like a conflict of interest, but is a quite a different headline.
Close enough for the purposes of this conversation. Point is, they earn more money than they spend, the gap between those is growing. And they did it in a high barrier to entry business.
The Guardian is pretty anti-nuclear.
The cost of fossil fuels is equally frightening if you cost cleaning up its emissions in the same way.

Nuclear only looks so bad because we ignore the externalities of the alternatives we currently price based on just extraction cost.
Sorry I was conflating juddering and tearing, I meant juddering.
It depends.

Modern CSS (specifically, box) combined with a well thought-out document structure can sometimes be extremely simple and work perfectly. It can be very satisfying.

But complexity, mistakes, and requirements always quickly add up in a way that turns CSS into a complete nightmare.

I like (and mostly agree with) the concept of "edgelessness" that the article discusses but that physical fact of the matter is that right now, your HTML/CSS will be viewed on a physical device of finite proportions. We call it a "Page" for a good reason.
> Dashers who deliver in NYC will now earn at least $29.93 per hour of active time, nearly twice NYC’s $15 minimum wage for other workers.

What’s a realistic amount of “active time” per hour? I’m assuming waiting for a job is not active time right?

> These new regulations will force us to raise fees for orders in New York City. In order to better balance the impact of these new costs, we’re moving the option to tip in the DoorDash app to after checkout.

So hiding the tip until after closing the sale to pretend the total price is cheaper? Very classy.

What’s funny is that the tip should come after the service is complete if it’s actually a tip for good service (otherwise how did you know what service you got?). But they’re clearly just trying to hide the true price.
> Then what do you plan on doing?

I dunno; but what I do know, is that being selfish and greedy is wrong.

It's wrong now.

It'll be wrong when our AI overlords rule over us all.

How about we talk about meaningful, real world things that are happening right now instead of arbitrary nebulous future possibilities?

People, doing work, right now, deserve to be paid for that work, because there is no UBI that currently exists.
oh I agree on the facts, I disagree on the significance you give them. It is not astounding, it is something which happened multiple times already. Secondly, I disagree on the prediction you mention.l (I would nonetheless new interested in a link on the latter, I am genuinely in search of good news, even if I'm aware I do not necessarily sound like it...)
You were quite close to a 1917 style red revolution on US soil. Only the reds wore maga baseball caps that time and most of them were right wingers. Fortunately Trump backed down by the time the FBI tactical teams arrived. I don't think anyone is insulated by consequences, but I have yet to see a former US president go to prison.

Not at all. Propaganda as in disinformation, as in that is the title of the Washington Post article.
I'm not sure if diagrams.net (drawio) people hangout here. But I use their webtool to create flowcharts and architecture diagrams that are then stored into Google Drive. They maybe able to shed some light into it. I must warn that using it in Firefox is a bit spotty compared to Chrome, though this is likely due to issues in Google OAuth with FF extensions.
To know everything would require a brain bigger than the universe.
This is another point that OTM's "The Divided Dial" series covered.

It's both a creative feature of the medium and one which makes systematic study of it challenging, as there's often no official recording and study requires either researches making their own recordings or listening live, and in either event, listening at best at perhaps 2x realtime speed, which means that analysis is slow.

(How much AI and speech-to-text services might assist in this I don't know.)
> the other for saving/purchasing

This is not what people mean by intrinsic. You can't spend the dollar just because it's a dollar. It requires a huge amount of social structure and (honestly) faith for it to be spendable. You couldn't "use" a dollar if you were the last human on earth.

> Is it that everything that's useful, with the exception of money, has intrinsic value?

Fiat money, collectibles (like baseball cards), poker chips at a casino, gift cards, credit cards, checks... regardless of how useful they are right now for someone, they have no intrinsic value. Their value is imbued on them by the context of society.

> Also how do you measure/quantify the intrinsic value? Is it derived from supply vs demand like economic value?

Mostly you don't. It's more of a binary concept.

There are situations where companies have to do it, like if they're looking at bankruptcy and need to liquidate assets.

For example, if you have 500 tractors and you have no idea how well any of them run, you can calculate the lowest-possible value for the tractor (which would essentially be its intrinsic value) by looking at:

- how much is the metal worth?

- what are the costs of finding a buyer?

- what will a buyer pay for the metal?

(Assuming the tractor doesn't operate at all.)
It's very much more than supporting 'one product'. Off the top of my head, regarding engineering, I can think of:

1. iOS App
2. Android App
3. Windows App
4. Microsoft App
5. Web App
6. Underlying API
7. Artist Portal/App
8. Advertising Portal/App
9. PlayStation App
10. Xbox App

There are probably entire engineering teams for each micro-service in the overall product (personalization, playlists, player, etc.).

Analog audio was first, and video was always analog, but most of the time laserdisc audio playback is literally CD Audio (not merely 16bit/44.1khz but the same intermediate data/error correction/scrambling... even CD-G was recycled into LD-G)

That said, assuming a pilot signal was added one could probably put two to three hours of PAL-frequency analog audio (which completely went away with digital sound) onto a CD.
Wow I totally missed the “active” part, thanks for pointing that out.

Would love to hear from someone with actual DD experience what percentage of time is “active,” and what you have to do to keep that time high?
88.1 MHz to 91.9 MHz is already reserved for noncommercial operation[1]. "Corporate radio" can only operate from 92.1 MHz to 107.9 MHz.

So the two pirate radio stations transmitting at 88.5 MHz and 87.7 MHz would most likely be interfering with noncommercial stations, presumably the kind of radio you say you want to protect.

"Tips" were effectively bids for service under the old model, as they were paid before the service was performed and determined whether a driver felt it worthwhile to accept that order. Now DoorDash will have to dynamically figure out how much to charge the customer to both interest drivers and meet this minimum pay requirement. I'm interested in seeing how it turns out.
They should be forced to be honest and call it a bid, not a tip.
On my thinkpad (which has PageUp and PageDown around the Up arrow), I've remapped Fn to provide direct access to a spare Page Up key: this way, I can read content (mostly paging down with the space bar, and eventually going up) from either side of the keyboard!

It's handy when flinging an arm over the back of the chair or holding a mug.

I definitely didn’t mean it like hazing.

I don’t see what’s so wrong about saying “you used inheritance for this relationship, but we have a pattern of keeping classes like this separate, since this system tends to change frequently. Please organize this like xyz module instead.”

Just a random example of something that a new person might do who is unfamiliar with xyz module and the complications there.

I agree that it’s good to mentor someone new, but honestly I think they still make most decisions themselves, and sometimes those decisions don’t match established patterns that they don’t know about. Ideally you notice sooner than a PR but I also think that people get busy and it’s ok to not have time to monitor everything a new person does. So sometimes it comes down to the code review to notice.

It’s not derogatory or hurtful, literally at all, it’s just pointing on that they did something in a way that goes against established patterns, and it’s teaching them what those patterns are.
uber's bottom line ... as in what gets reported in the quarterly numbers. the tips absolutely do not go towards uber's income.

> The higher Uber is able to convince people to tip, the less they have to offer in wages to retain drivers.

this is unfounded speculation.

your complaint reads like you want to fault uber for not scamming the drivers. as someone else pointed out, after years of saying that uber would never be profitable it makes sense that there's some moving the goalposts here.

> No, the UK was in NATO, and if it didn't develop its own nuclear weapons...

Maybe, maybe not? Until tested it's hard to know if a nuclear umbrella is more than bluff.

That said, with US indifference from 1939 fresh in the memory I can see how they wanted the bomb.

Nuclear bombs from the US were always under US control, even if positioned outside the US.
> With the changes required by NYC and the impact it will have on our system, we are pausing our Priority Access program, which gives Dashers who have high ratings priority on higher-paying offers. Since Dashers will earn a guaranteed minimum rate, the benefits offered by this program will not apply in NYC. The Top Dasher program is still available for qualified NYC Dashers.

So they're guaranteeing higher pay for all workers, and cutting a benefit for their best workers? I wonder what kind of impact this will have. Will this encourage some of these top workers to leave the platform, since they can no longer get access to good orders based on their track record?
I agree. Thats why I didn't propose that. This is just another way the urban poor are unfairly advantaged over the rural poor. These subsidies only apply if you have existing service in your area.
