That graph is also showing an ideal situation—that is, you fully qualify for and fully receive all of the benefits listed.

That means you have to also know that you qualify for them, apply for them, prove that you qualify, oh, nope, whoops, you missed one piece of proof there—that means you have to start all over.

You have to apply for each one, prove that you qualify, jump through all the hoops, you start receiving benefits! Now it's time to apply for the next one, get the slightly different proofs together, send them all in—oh, what's that? someone gave you just enough money that you went over one of the limits? you get nothing this year!

Probably some obscure GH legal clause stating “we own your data. Ownership is implied and we may do anything with it. Private vs public is a concept of accessibility over the internet. Not necessarily means it’s not accessible via intranet or other non-public means”

In fact none of them will be, because it's computed by analyzing the rolling last 7 days, and each accounts "ranking" is whatever their ranking was at the end of that period (i.e. "now," more or less).

Basically I'm not sure why you're saying that leads to a bias toward "slightly above 100."

Ohh... unless you meant slightly above a multiple of 100. I see now. Because people stop playing when they hit a milestone, right.

> US continues to withdraw from Naval security commitments from the Bretton Woods era

Would you mind listing all the naval security commitments - from the Bretton Woods era - that the US has withdrawn from (eg over the past decade or so, anything relevant to "continues to")?

I'm not aware of any meaningful reduction in US naval security commitments. If anything the US is as busy as ever with its global naval security efforts. It's hyper busy everywhere: from Latin America, to Australia, to Europe, to the Middle East, to Asia.

The notion that the US has stepped back at all is entirely unsupported by the actual facts. It's just a weak myth being posted endlessly since Trump began spouting isolationism in 2015-2016. Meanwhile, in actuality, the US just spent another hundred billion dollars on a foreign war in two years.
Not everything uses POSIX maybe that's a reason for the different results.
I think another way to see it is that Zionism is the perfect excuse for struggle.

There are 16m of Jews in a world of 8b people. And, the world was silent while half of the Jewish population was been literally exterminated. Even US was closed to Jews refugees.

> the kinds of people we are training

I was a physics student who took a nanofab class, fell in love, and desperately wanted to go down this path... until I learned about how complete and utter dogshit the wages were. I kept in touch with two classmates who stuck with it a bit longer. The free market had to beat them over the head a bit longer to get them to let go, but it eventually succeeded. Intel was absolutely printing money for investors the whole time, of course, and now that the material consequences of their poor management have come home to roost they are getting bailouts. Yay, capitalism!

Our education system over-produces qualified scientists, but if semiconductors are a road to not having a house or family and if it pays 5x better to sell ads or stocks... you get what you pay for.

I hope this has changed but I wouldn't bet on it.

The Starship or the Canoe: Where will our future adaptations be? (2017)
This is fair given what Ethereum just did. But, IMO, that's not what I expect if someone says "warrant canary". Under the "original" sense of canaries, your scenarios wouldn't make sense. Unfortunately, this new, wrong interpretation of the original idea seems to have become more common.

The original idea was that on some regular cadence (say weekly), you actively post a (hopefully signed) message somewhere saying "I hereby attest that, as of <insert current date>, we have not received any warrants/subpeonas/etc and are not subject to any gag orders, etc. etc.". (eg, rsync.net's canary: https://www.rsync.net/resources/notices/canary.txt). You have to set it up so that someone has to actually go and do something for the updated canary to go up, so it's like a dead man's switch. If you ever stop posting those, that's the signal to users that something is up.

That approach is extremely robust legally. In the US at least, publicly posting a digitally signed message asserting something presumably important and valuable about your business that's knowingly a lie would be considered false advertising, wire fraud, etc. depending on the exact situation. The government has a lot of power to legally compel you to not do things that would otherwise be legal (eg, uttering the speech "we just got a subpeona for all of your data!"). What they absolutely cannot legally do is compel you to do something illegal. Eg, they can't make you commit wire fraud by actively lying to your customers about the services you provide. That's a very strong legal position and you wouldn't have a hard time getting a lawyer to back you up on it.

Basically, if your "canary" requires you to "take down" something, it's not a proper canary and, yeah, I wouldn't trust it to protect you from much.
> The animation of the walking bird is 246kB MP4.

I mean, that fundamentally misses the point of vector graphics, no?

I could also argue that a screenshot of a rendered SVG icon takes no heap or runtime, which would also completely miss the point of why a designer would want vector icons. JPGs and MP4s alike are not infinitely scalable.
That's the problem - it was just for senior developers, not rocket scientists. Most of candidates (curated by agencies) have poor coding skills, soft skills non-existent. So we didn't even dream of people who can get the job done and be independent.
Short term profit focus is arguably what led to Intel's engineering decline in the 2010s, despite what you say. An HN comment once recounted how they had spun off engineers into a another company and then merged with it again in a play to avoid pension obligations. That led to at least one frustrated engineer leaving and wishing them "good luck with 10nm".
You often see other comments talking about how underpaid these highly educated workers are. Things seem hopeful that with Gelsinger at the helm, they may continue on the right path.

Most of the sound from a modern car with a functioning muffler is wind noise. You can barely hear the tires unless you're standing right next to it.

"Electric cars are heavier" is some silly nonsense where people went looking for something to complain about. You can make an electric car as light as you want, with the trade off that it implies making the battery smaller and reducing range. But the Model 3 has a ~300 mile range and weighs the same as the average car.

As much as I agree, and I really do, this is also a company that mentions they have $7.24 billion available for sock buybacks [1].

Sure, maybe they don't actually make any buybacks. This is what's left from $110.0 billion they approved for stock buybacks in the past, not a quantity that's been approved or seemingly needs to be used this year. They haven't bought back any stock since 2021 [1].

One just wishes they'd invested in fab-building earlier. They've spent $152.05 billion in buybacks since 1990 [1], a fab apparently costs anywhere from $3-20 billion [2]. That's say ~10 potential fabs that instead became just checks for investors.

The article was interesting alone, simply for the Google Dork technique explanation. Have not heard the "unusual, yet specifically frequent" search technique described that way previously. Very similar to what's necessary for searching StackExchange and similar, such as "site:https://aviation.stackexchange.com/ tracking private planes"

The Bombardier Global Express 6000 GLT6 result is interesting, as it's a plane with a known large number of military conversions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardier_Global_Express#Mili...

Known Conversions: GlobalEye, Project Dolphin, Raytheon Sentinel, Saab Swordfish, PAL Aerospace P-6, E-11A, HALOE, PEGASUS, Hava SOJ, CAEW, HADES.

Actually has a tie-in with the article, since the Hava SOJ is an air stand-off jammer configuration for the Turkish region.

Otherwise, if I still worked for the government contracting, I'd probably offer you a job, although you're apparently British, so there might have been citizenship issues.
Could be. I was directly answering "what's the difference?"

It's hard to know intentionality without also knowing where there is expected+natural interference. Of course, when a region is surrounded by persistent GNSS issues and is a known war-zone with large actors, intentionality is fairly reasonably assumed.

Google is an Ads company ad the end of the day. They are making 10% revenue from GCloud but still bulk of their profits are from Ads.

If they were threatened, Google could have easily owned the cloud. They were the first to a million servers and exabyte storage scale. Their internal infra is top notch.

Under no circumstances can they damage their cash cow. They have already shown to be UX hostile by making Ads look like results, and Youtube forcing more ads onto users.

The biggest breakthrough an AI researcher can have at Google is to get more ad clicks across their empire.

Google management knows this. Without ad revenue, they are fucked.

That is my biggest fear. That with AI we are able to exploit the human mind for dopamine addiction through screens.

Meta has shown that their algorithm can make the feeds more addictive (higher engagement). This results in more ads.

I'm kind of down to let people follow this dead end reasoning since it's legally irrelevant. Makes it much easier to disregard.
Remember that Microsoft spent 10 years fighting the open internet, and only launched the cloud much later. The Windows business was allergic to the web-model, and they fought it tooth and nail.
That’s really funny to think about. By then today’s internet may be the equivalent of the little NES machine you can buy with all the games on it.

They are at war with west (more Europe than US though) for solid 2 decades straight, just that they started to use military only in last decade, but were subverting public opinions in usual command & conquer strategy for much longer (riling western and former soviet populations against EU and Nato, supporting ultra-right groups, spreading false rumors ie on covid in us vs them psi-ops).

Whatever politicians on their side say is meaningless or diversion and definitely just wasted time, just look at actions alone.

On a clear day with perfect conditions ground control can probably get you on the ground and you walk away safely. The plane may not be safe to fly again, but you walk away. When there is bad weather (common) or other mechanical issues you need a lot more training, and of course if you want the plane to survive to fly again you want some more training.

The only hard part is contacting ground control in the first place. Radio frequencies change all the time.
Ask HN: How are you using Intermittent Reward? (or why you ought to try it)
Random Intermittent Reward (known as Variable Ratio Reinforcement Schedule in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis) is a powerful concept from psychology. It states that the increase in motivation (through dopamine) from the anticipation of a reward is stronger when the reward is not guaranteed. You can see this effect in action with gambling, social media, mobile games (especially loot boxes), and dog training. If you're noticing themes of manipulation or addiction, that's not accidental. In the most typical and visible places that random intermittent rewards are implemented, it reinforces behaviors that are not well aligned with people's values.

It seems like a waste for something this effective to only be used against us, when it could be a huge asset for our personal growth.

I want to know if you have tried using this concept to motivate yourself to do things that are important to you. How did it go? What kind of behaviors were you trying to motivate? What kind of rewards worked or didn't?

Disclaimer: I've been using this concept for a while now to great effect, so I'm building a phone app to make it easier, more effective, and fun to use. You can go to https://tantaluspath.com to see more information and sign up to get notified when the app is available.

hard disagree. confidence != complacency/over-confidence.

self-confidence is actually an absolutely key factor to safety. it doesn't mean you are blind to the dangers, rather that you recognize them, are able manage and handle risks and how to mitigate them, and above all are not fearful. you absolutely need to trust yourself.

if you are not feeling confident you are NOT going to be safe. not being confident leads to timidity, second-guessing, maybe saying "ugh. i guess that is normal?" when they shouldn't. and if something goes wrong, you can't freeze, you have to be able react appropriately.

the first time you do a mildly risky thing like this, it's wise to do more research, go a little slower and think about each step. but there's no reason that you can't approach it with a safe and confident attitude, even the first time, if you are prepared - or even better - have a trainer/mentor that can check you.

when you feel "unconfident" or fearful that is when you should walk away.

Not a dead giveaway i suppose, you're right.
