I don't have a horse in this race, and maybe the root comment came off as flippant and disparaging. But I'm not reading "outsiders" as being what you say "gatekeeping".

Maybe another perspective is that "outsiders" may not have the same view of the issue as experts in the field and may not (historically, in OP's experience) seem to want to work together with the experts to develop this view. Handwaving away complexities and not willing to get hands dirty is something I've seen as well so maybe I'm a bit more empathetic, but cold shoulders from "experts" towards newcomers is definitely a thing.

Both of which could help both sides - bring more depth to the fresh view of the "outsiders" and actually bring valuable freshness to the depth of the "experts".
Have there been studies showing the long term effects of anti-TNF drugs? I'm specifically worried about the tumors that might escape being nipped in the bud if tumor necrosis factor is limited. I've always been concerned about this..
No, operational security might still a valid concern even where there are no issues with digital security.

You might have a 100% secure system, but you don't want your competitor to know exactly what you are doing. You might also not consider their knowledge of what you're doing to be a vulnerability, nor think that you should spend many resources on preventing them from knowing, you just don't want to make it easy for them.

Cryptography is very black-and-white. Business operational intelligence is not.
But if the car door is picked, there's no further game to play. Surely the only interesting thing to ask is, conditioned on seeing a goat, what's the probability the third door contains a car. The cases of observing a car are irrelevant since that's not the scenario. I'm still not convinced it's any different whether Monty Hall knows or not so long as the goat door is opened.

Edit: having written this, thinking about the 100 door case. If 98 random doors open (that aren't the one I picked) then the fact they all contain goats is pretty suggestive that I have the car, or at least 50/50. I'm not convinced by the code example though.
Interesting post. I wonder if you can further combine it by using a PrincipalTag in some way? You can assume a number of roles with different tag values, and these can be interpolated into the condition. This lets you do things without a huge statement?
Even in Windows 95, which didn't support USB at the time.

That's because DOS-based Windows could use the BIOS for disk access, and BIOS presented USB drives as hard drives. I believe you can even do the same with an NVMe SSD that has a suitable boot ROM.
That's interesting cause on a a bigger german website we are trying to figure out how to get that firsty thing working with removable eUICCs since Feb the 16th. The only person that reported there that eSIM.me is working for them used a smartphone with a built-in eUICC for "looking at the app and receiving activation code" and after that put in the eSIM.me into a Galaxy S10.

Everybody else that wrote something about working or not working — no matter if they use products from eSIM.me, 5ber or sysmocom — wrote that it isn't working for them. Even when installing the profile with the static activation code from within the APK — that can be found when using apktool on the APK and a bit of grep — I wasn't able to get a data connection with the profile deployed to the sysmoEUICC1-C2G.
Btw. firsty seems to use Vodafone here.

However, firsty support answered today that they "are looking into support for these use cases, so stay tuned!"

I suspect Dell isn't going to be all that correct. No way that Microsoft is going to give up server-side processing and all the sweet sweet data it entails.

Actually before finishing this comment I changed my mind. Windows will collect and send all that data to Microsoft regardless whether it runs client-side or server side. Client side shifts the electricity and cloud bill to the user, so that's a big win. It's also hardware that can get obsolete and need to be replaced, which means future sales.

> functional liberal democracy full of checks and balances with a government subject to regular elections

It's more nuanced than that.

The current system can easily result in surprisingly disproportionate representation in the House of Commons.

Look at the results of the most recent federal election, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Canadian_federal_election

A party that received 32.62% of the popular vote got 160 seats in the House of Commons, while another party that received 33.74% of the vote got only 119 seats.

A party that received only 7.64% of the votes got 32 seats, while another party that received 17.82% of the vote got only 25 seats.

A party that received 2.33% of the votes got 2 seats, while another party that received 4.94% of the vote got no seats.

With a votes-to-seats situation like that, there are a lot of Canadians who don't have proper representation in the House of Commons, or in some cases, effectively none at all.

It's no surprise that the voter turnout wasn't even 63%; many Canadians are completely disillusioned with how the current system works, and don't feel that any of the parties can offer them meaningful representation.

Canada's political system does exhibit some democratic traits, but there are still some pretty serious and fundamental flaws with the current approach that can't be ignored, either.

People always look for the one size fits all solutions and or reasons for problems. There are multiple reasons for shitty conditions just as there are multiple reasons for homelessness. That is why these problems seem so intractable IMHO. I seriously doubt cramming another billion or so people onto the planet is going to improve those conditions. At least I have not read a convincing argument for it.

I think people totally underestimate how the current 9 Billion inhabitants of this planet are depleting our oceans of living things and how large a percentage of those inhabitants depend upon the ocean for food. Sounds like one of those externalities Economist only account for after the fact. Ooops - To bad for you starving children in (put your starving country here).

I think you're correct about bootp.

A bootp server app generally listens for a MAC broadcast which appears when another physically connected device sends a "bootp request" into the network, so the bootp server can compare the MAC against its whitelist and assign its corresponding designated fixed IP address on the local network. Which IP address will then be remembered by the requesting device and is used from that point forward, not much differently than an address assigned by DHCP.

Some hardware like early HP ethernet printers did not retain their assigned IP address through a power failure. So there had to be a functional bootp server app up and running before you powered up the printer or the printer's initial bootp request would go unanswered and it was no good to anybody.

Show HN: Kollabe – The Ultimate Tool for Engaging and Productive Agile Meetings
Hey HN,

I've been working on something called Kollabe. It's my answer to making agile meetings, like planning poker and retros, more engaging. It has real-time voting, emoji reactions, and GIFs to lighten the mood.

The idea came from wanting to improve those meetings we all sit through. Give it a go, see how it changes your team dynamics, and let me know your thoughts. Really keen to hear your feedback.

Thanks!
I'm in that same boat. Disk is cheap, servers are cheap, DVDs are cheap, and Jellyfin is free. Yes, DVDs are lower-res, but IMO end up looking better than streaming much of the time. I'm not enough of a connoisseur/too old to care if it's a little fuzzy.

Second-hand stores are great sources for CDs and DVDs. A friend of mine buys tons of them at flea markets, as well.
Microsoft's gunning for a far more short-term win: Search.

Bing has been an also-ran in the search world for a decade (single digit % of search volume compared to Google's 90%+), and AI has shown the first real crack in Google's monopoly.

The future is pretty clearly going to be directly getting AI answers to questions and much less looking at a page of 10 blue links and it's still really unclear if Google is going to make the transition.

More to the point, theoretically they should be able to build quantum computers that don't need error correction.

If so, then down the road this will allow us to scale usable qbits much faster than our existing technologies. Which makes the prospect of usable quantum computers much more likely.

> Google doesn't want to offend or be racist

This is where you're wrong. A non-trivial percentage of Google's workforce does want to be racist and does want to offend.

And despite the fact that this group is a minority in the company, their lack of scruples allows them to have substantial power in setting corporate policy. Since they're willing to play dirty, they get their way more often than the employees who play by the rules.

I recently discovered Apache Superset. I would love to use it in our product. Does anybody know if it possible to integrate it into an existing product? I am mostly curious about hooking up its authentication system to our own authentication system, which is based on auth in ASP.NET Core 8.
It doesn't matter if it's any good, it just has to be functional, which Microsoft proved they can do, since windows phones existed. Microsoft has the business side (aka money and patience that Google doesn't) to make it happen. Look at how well Microsoft Teams is doing. Look at Bing, now that it's got ChatGPT behind it.

It's not a binary reliable/unreliable.

AI just introduces another layer of mistrust to a system with a lot of perverse incentives.

In other words, if the information was also unreliable in the past, it doesn't mean it can't get much worse in the future.

At some point, even experts will be overwhelmed with the amount of data to sift through, because the generated data is going to be optimized for "looking" correct, not "being" correct.

I'd be very curious to see how similar the forces experienced by power lines are in wind storms vs catching a small aircraft.
> Much of the damage to the power grid can mostly be mitigated by turning off electricity

That isn't entirely true.

I guess, in reality, "turning off electricity" can work, if "turning off" means shutting down generation at the same time throughout an entire interconnected grid and physically disconnecting literally every transformer throughout that transmission grid before they're cooked by geomagnetically-induced current (GIC).

Induced DC current alone can heat the windings in high-voltage transformers to the point of catastrophic failure, and that's assuming they can disconnect the AC current already flowing through the windings—if they can't, it heats even faster. This can possibly be mitigated by using a CT or hall sensor combined with a separate winding to cancel out the flux in the transformer's core, but I suspect that kind of work hasn't been done because there's no cost benefit.

Some electricity providers have relaying systems in place meant to protect equipment, but the last time that was tested in real-world conditions (1989, in Québec) they failed to prevent equipment damage.

That says nothing about the transmission lines themselves, most of which are nowhere near protected from GIC, and could either overheat or allow enough DC to flow through smaller pole-mounted transformers , which magnetizes them and dramatically reduces their serviceable life (if not outright destroying them).

In the case of Hydro-Québec, GIC didn't cause equipment damage; their protection systems—the stuff meant to "turn off the electricity"—allowed damage to occur anyway.
Harvard's endowment of $35 BILLION.

Yearly tuition is $54,000 for a combined cost, without discounts, scholarships, etc. of $216,000 give or take for a four-year undergraduate degree.

Harvard's endowment could give full rides to 162,037 students.

The fact they don't and instead sit on this mountain of cash is a problem IMO. I understand part of that is to insure the schools longevity but how many billions do you really need in this regard?

I think some number of those endowments should be taxed but I would prefer to see Harvard giving out full rides to many, many more people, or heavily invested in community colleges.
I wonder how often this really happens
After looking into it I chose to still consume beef (grass-fed) but I buy it from a local organic farmer (farm is about 20km from my home).

As for price depending of the part of the animal you buy it varies a lot.

According to:

https://ourworldindata.org/land-use

Two thirds of agricultural land is pasture and unsuitable for growing human edible plant food.

If a cow needs two hectares on average (specific number depends a lot on the state of pasture) that's about 1.5 billions cows using 0% of arable land.

There's about 1 billions cows in the world.
And yet, it's kinda looking like everyone except OAI has hit the same pre-gpt4 capability wall.

I'll hedge my bets on whether AGI is even possible entirely on how much of an improvement we'll see with GPT5. If it is just a marginal improvement, that's basically it for the current ML bubble.
I've had the same thought. They obviously know how to add decent iGPU and the required bandwidth in the PS5 and XboxX (and the previous gen).

Does seem like they finally plan to do this with the AMD Strix Halo which looks to hit somewhere late this year or early next.
There's a lot of relevant information we don't know (targeting, platform, demographics, competition, payment etc.).

If your 6 signups are paying anything, I would continue iterating ads and working on the product.

If those 6 signups are unpaid, and just people who signed up after viewing the site, I would stop spending and reassess the product and marketing. I'd expect only a small fraction of those people to ever pay anything, with many never returning to the site at all.

Also I wouldn't focus too much on the CTR or CVR - you are getting dirt cheap (likely untargeted) visitors ($0.019/each) so you should expect low rates. What matters is your ROAS (return on ad spend). You should be tracking that obsessively.
> what aspects of sideloading prevent Facebook from starting their own App Store and saying “give us full permissions to mine your microphone and email for marketing or you don’t get to use Facebook”?

The OS already enforces gated access to the microphone through a permissions dialogue. Once it's enabled it's a glowing red, persistant status bar everywhere. Only one app can get a handle on this at a time, by design. I'm not sure what "mine your email" means, I'd imagine someone using Facebook has already given them their email. If you mean access to their email app's data, you also can't just reach into another app's files since they're sandboxed. There hasn't been any part of the discussion around sideloading that says Apple should also get rid of OS-level security and privacy features.

> At this point you may start noticing a difference in dealer behavior: some of them are more open to negotiation that others. One of the reasons for that is that some of the cars are sitting on the lot for too long and they would like to get rid of them quicker to avoid burning money (keeping the car on the lot costs some amount each day due to insurance, parking space etc etc). This event is more likely in the end of the month or in the end of the calendar year (this post assumes that you cannot pick at what time of the year you buy a car. If you can choose, buy close to the end of December - there will be more inventory dealers will want to get rid of due to model line replacement).

(emphasis mine)

This part is buried in the whole document, but is probably the most important.

If you have some temporal wiggle room, go on the last day of the month. Not the second to last day, the very last day. Possibly after lunch if you can. You are going to get a much better deal.

Also, never buy a car at night.

Some endeavours are a lot easier if you can pay a team of people to help you.

But sometimes it matters to do all the hard work yourself. In the UK we had a popular left-wing politician and he wrote many books about class struggle and worker solidarity. However, he lived in his mansion and had a team of people. He just had to put down his cup of tea and dictate whatever was on his mind for one of his staff to get it typed up and edited.

Lucky for him. However, he was somewhat removed from the situation of the writer that has the bailiffs coming to evict him, the bank sending him nasty letters and a lung infection from the mould growing on the damp walls of his dwelling.

It all depends on what you are writing, however, I think that less is more if you are to write in words that reach an audience that lacks the privileges you have.
