I don't think you realize the ammount or scrutiny and approvals required to allow an exployee to use a sub on the main domain in corp..
A very very.. very limited ammount or people can do DNS changes for the main domain with a crap ton of signatures and eyes monitoring the whole thing.

Dave can test his stuff on a newly bought domain for testing or the internal domains.
This is also true historically if you, for example, look at the 1920ies in Germany and the rise of the Nazi party.
> one of American capitalism's peaks is basically a worker collective?

Finance tends to pay its workers better than shareholders—most banks’ trading and IB groups pay out more than 50% of profits to workers.
Just trying to illustrate a point, but feel free to carry on.
I have a best-fit allocator for this problem (managing GPU resources).
It has higher CPU overhead due to using a std::map, but should waste less space due to not using fixed bucket sizes.

They ultimately serve the same goal. It's a distinction without a difference between "highbrow" articles and algorithmic treats meant to reinforce a certain worldview. One feels more virtuous to consume.

Businesses in CA got people to vote for prop13 in the 70s I think (the propaganda justifying it was essentially “the Supreme Court said your property taxes have to pay for the same quality of education for poor people”, but the actual reason is a massive tax cut for corporations as they never actually sell property so get a permanent cut to property taxes).

It basically says “unless a property changes ownership the taxable valuation cannot increase by more than 2%”, it doesn’t matter if it’s a rental property that has rent increased by 50%, or a corporate owned property that has financial reports reflecting its true value, it’s capped at 2% increase.

This has a follow on impact of increasing the actual property tax rates (because the majority of properties are undervalued by actual market rates the only option is higher base tax rates) which means if you do buy a new property you get hit with massive property taxes (over time they will become cheap relative to property value but initial cost is insane).

We’ve owned our house for a decade, and if we were to try and buy it today the property taxes on it would be higher than our current mortgage payments because of the increase in actual market value.

The actual fix for this is complicated (there’s a real issue where a person is retired say and their property taxes could increase to being unaffordable forcing them to sell their home), but I feel a reasonable improvement would be to say that taxable value for residential rental property increases at the maximum of “2% or rate of rent increase”, and commercial property gets taxed at the value included in financial reports, or something to that effect. Alas prop13 is actually a modification to the California state constitution so the only way to fix it is through an amendment to the constitution.
Do you have an example of an REIT that fits your hypothetical that has a history of delivering these yields consistently for decades?
GitLab only supports the latest three point releases, so that's not an option here.
Thanks for sharing Shane, and nice to see companies engaged with the community on a technical level!
I agree contacts please help a lot, but in this case the context was someone that thinks companies casually murder people and that Boeing is de facto socially owned because of the influence that Boeing has. I'm not sure how oversized influence on government translates to citizen ownership, but asking for coherence is probably too much.

think using the full terms publicly/privately traded can help a lot in this area.
It's the miners and users who ultimately decided if the 1MB block limit should be kept.
It is mostly RAG, although I suppose that doesn't say much about the system: one thing I've found is that the way you clean and process the data substantially changes the quality of the results. I'll write a little blog post sharing some of the learnings!

If you feel up for it, you should share your email in the righthand "Unhappy with your results?" widget. My plan is to manually look into the disappointing searches and follow-up with better results for folks, in addition to fixing whatever can be fixed.

Agreed re: searching comments (which it indeed currently doesn't do).
Nice work! I'm sure you know that you can also search Google with site:https://news.ycombinator.com. If I were you I would probably think of a niche where one can get better results by searching HN and other relevant data sources. Another suggestion is not about the search so much but about the UI. One of the worse things about sites like HN is that it's really hard to follow a long thread. If you can fix that by doing some data transformation and build a nice UI for search results, it'd be pretty useful. Good luck!
> We know, for example, that we cannot solve the halting problem, we cannot predict chaotic systems, etc.

This violates the second axiom I assume: in your examples, we know where the incompleteness lies. If you disagree that not knowing that would necessarily hold for modeling the system that we are part of, then perhaps we won’t be on the same page to argue productively.
Author here. Didn't expect this to make HN :)

I don't deserve any credit for this; @SebAaltonen did all the work to write the C++ version. I just did a line-by-line translation.
I've got no horse in this race, but it would be extremely interesting to see a breakdown of where the the per Student Spending goes. With separate break-outs for "Teacher Pay", "Teacher Pensions", and "Teacher Health Benefits".

From comments by a couple friends who've retired as public school teachers in the past decade or so, I suspect the NEA might want to keep the latter two figures hushed up. And maybe ditto for the financial condition of the teachers' pension funds...
Apple bending the knee multiple times. This is great news for small developers. The CTF fees before were crazy.
You don't directly spew disinformation. Instead, you find the craziest but sane sounding nut you can, and donate anonymously, or via proxies, to whatever funding methods they have.

Then when they start a nonprofit, or grow in other ways you donate there too.

You give the crazy cat lady a super loud voice, and all the freedom and time to express it.

Disinformation isn't as important as just "crazy".
TIL that the name "ultramarine" is because it came from "beyond the sea" (Afghanistan) from the perspective of Rome. I always figured it was because it's such a deep blue.

No, but information isn't contained entirely in the image, but also in the assumptions about it. Simulation is exactly how you can retrieve more information than explicitly encoded in pixels - the information comes from how assumptions about the universe constrain possible states that would downscale to your original image.
Guess Apple got another letter from the EU to cut the shit. Still doesn't seem like enough. There is absolutely no reason apple should receive a single cent if you're publishing outside of their store.

Yesterday and today I was battling two guys who think that viruses are fake, held my ground until one gave up and the other one switched to insults, then an actual scientist showed up. It's annoying and really hard work to keep asking questions until they don't make sense anymore.

The first one said viruses don't exist. 4 Million+ papers on google.scholar are completely dismissed as evidence.

The second one say, viruses are just poison and can be treated as such.

What I've noticed is a tendency to just replace the meaning of words itself. Like Virus means poison in greek, so that's what it is.

The sources of their stuff are usually some anti-semitic right wing-websites, seemingly and it's the same thing that the left does with all that inclusive language.
Disinformation...

Looking at the rotting tail of the fish when then head stinks is missing the point.

Sicence, the temple of truth, has rotted its own foundation. The reproducibility crisis that started in psychology turned into the President of Harvard being caught plagiarizing.

Meanwhile we have plenty of fair science that gets swallowed by ego, or stolen from its creators by their "betters" (In a shock to no one, a bunch of marginalized women are mixed in there).

Disinformation will flourish as long as the foundations of information is built on a marsh.
Oh, the irony of someone defending Feyerabend on the one hand while dismissing Hubbard, Rand, Ham etc. on the grounds that "philosophy of science is a well-established field." Do you really not see how this is self-defeating?

> No one thinks that Hubbard is a philosopher of science, probably not even Scientologists.

I will bet you $1000 that I can find at least five Scientologists who will profess to believe that LRH was a philosopher of science.
Let's say you didn't invest in the US stock market, because you lived in, say, Japan. How did the Japanese stock market do since 1870? Pretty well, except for that part in 1945 when it went to approximately zero.

Ditto Germany in 1945.

Ditto Russia in 1918.

Ditto China in 1949.

Is the US going to be the US of history for the next 50 years? Or is it going to be one of Japan, Germany, China, or Russia?

Or is it just going to be, say, the UK? How did the UK stock market do over the last 50 years?

O (Realty Income) pays 6% today, AFFO multiple of 12x, low debt (35% debt to asset value), low payout ratio (75% of AFFO), and has never cut their dividend, including during the GFC

And I think this is one of the poorer income choices today.

People would rather buy Costco at 50x earnings multiple and try to sell the principle down at 4%/year, apparently!

The responses to this thread are really eye opening to why such a large small/large cap valuation gap exists. (Yes, O is large cap, but smaller REITs have even better numbers)

The Metaverse Within Everyday Environments: A Coarse-to-Fine Approach
Increasingly I think the financialization of everything makes us less capable of understanding the world.

"Red Lobster failed because of X corporate restructuring," "Red Lobster succeeded due to Y ad campaign." People go to restaurants for reasons completely unrelated to things like that. Those things are important, but just constitute the small slice of reality that can easily be measured.

I saw a Twitter thread arguing how the video game Stardew Valley succeeded due to the way it was marketed. Marketing is important, but maybe the game succeeded because it was cute and had a soul and is fun to play. You can't measure that.
It's a sad story, but yes. I should have mentioned that the application to extend detention can itself take up to one day, so three days is the maximum time that the police can hold you in jail without a judge approving a longer detention.

It's certainly a travesty that this happened to that woman.
> I'm also curious about making something like this work as a general purpose allocator (as alluded to by the README).

Besides the reverse mapping, you'd also have to get rid of the Vec use in the allocator, but that's fairly straightforward. Additionally, you'd need some sort of logic about requesting slabs of memory from the OS (and returning them when free), which is some extra work.
Where's the lie? The economy, the system, is a machine. The humans that happen to compose it are by and large either raw materials or wear parts, not output. People can be having an _awful_ time while the system functions beautifully. It's not for them, they're for it.
The irony of all the comments here is just wild. Makes it all feel a bit futile. Why bother discussing anything?
Kaiser has been working with Stanford for years, to train different models, especially with images. A good use-case could be for diabetic retinopathy. There are more and more diabetics and this can affect vision over time, if not properly diagnosed.

Kaiser has ramped up and now takes more and more eye pictures to check for diabetic retinopathy. But it is a slow and manual process, requiring optometrists and ophthalmologists to seat and careful check pictures one by one (takes about 20min per picture). It is just possible to screen as many as we should screen. Here AI could really help, and pre-scan pictures for special attention, and be able to screen order of magnitude more patients.

I guess at the end it might be something like should we just screen 10 patients with a doctor, or pre-screen 10,000 in that same time, and have the doctor still see 10 patients ?
> We can of course choose not to participate in this still if we don't want to.

The problem is that the alternatives are lacking, at least for the smartphone world. While on my PC I run a Linux distro, efforts like the PinePhone are still not good enough to be a daily driver.
My old friend with no history of asbestos exposure, a sysadmin no less, died of mesothelioma last year. I only learnt that yesterday. (We grew apart...)

I spent an hour reading about that cancer. It seems that mesotheliomas without previous known asbestos exposure do occur.

A few things you can do to reduce costs, my family does this and hope it helps others.

- Gardening/yardwork - We do all this ourselves, its exercise and gets you outside, plus you have made something better in the physical world(I work in software so get extreme satisfaction from this!): savings per month/year ($240/$2880)

- Cleaning - We also do not have cleaners, our house is not particularly messy and we clean as we go, this saves us money by not hiring a expensive house cleaner: savings per month/year ($200/$2400)

- Shop around for home/car insurance, our home insurance rate was jumping to $5600 a year, we looked around and were able to bundle with a well known company and got it to $2600 a year. Also its cheaper to pay in full, plus if you are a engineer or manager you get a discount: savings per month/year ($250/$3000)

- Switch to lower cost cell phone plans, went with Tmobile over Verizon on a family plan and saved a decent amount: savings per month/year ($60/$720)

- Avoid doordash and other takeout services, they tack on a huge fee with every transaction(ie. 25-30%) that saves you money if you either head out to get food or just make it at home, assuming 5-6 dashes per month and cost per dash being $100: savings per month/year ($150/$1800)

- Make your food at home, kind of obvious but food eaten out is usually 2-3x cost of making the same thing at home. When we do eat out I have been getting 1 glass of an alcoholic beverage as its usually the most expensive thing on the menu, also avoid appetizers. Those two things usually cuts the bill down by 30%. Assuming eating out 10 times a month and average bill is $100(very conservative for a big city) you end up with: savings per month/year ($250/$3000)

- Avoid Cable and other high cost entertainment packages, they are usually over $100 a month and are mostly commercials anyways. if you like sports I usually get peacock as its quite cheap, also HBOgo(or max) has live sports now and both are around/under $10 a month. savings per month/year ($100/$1200)

These things don't add a huge burden to your life and when added up allow you to save more money. All of these cost savings are what my family actually did and it saved us roughly $15k a year and in general are all more healthy alternatives to what would cost money.
How do you even become a trusted CA? Like, who controls/governs this stuff? Can also imagine it's pretty expensive to get started

I became unhappy with WhatsApp some time ago and decided to go all-in on XMPP. It's the internet standard for IM after all and I strongly feel we need more standardization instead of the wide fragmentation with so many proprietary apps and custom protocols. I'm quite happy so far. I'm hosting my own server for my extended family and also got ~20 friends to get standard XMPP addresses.
> Dr Laumer says it is possible that it was the first time Rakus had done this type of treatment. “It could be that he accidentally touched his wound with his finger that had the plant on it. And then because the plant has quite potent pain relieving substances he might have felt immediate pain relief, which made him apply it again and again," she says.
Apropos of the context of this situation...

As a paramedic, I'd take this with a grain of salt: I have been on calls for a non-trivial number of patients who've sworn black and blue that they're "no longer suicidal", "no longer a threat", "if anything happens to me, it wasn't suicide" who, you guessed it, went on to attempt or commit suicide in very short order.
It's superficial analysis to assume that when Mozilla agrees with Google, it's about money. That's merely correlation.

Other people and organizations can disagree with your arguments in ways that you don't think are logical or sound, but that doesn't mean they aren't just based on different weights and criteria. It's not useful to assume the decision criteria, because it becomes too easy to declare yourself right yet be confused why other people don't recognize it.

Never simply attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence, but also never simply attribute to incompetence what can be explained by disagreement.

i hear that. but how about the actual economics of the businesses. e.g. return on capital .

Obviously a handfull of stocks have spiked with speculation. but every town has hundreds to thousands of restaurants. And regions have dozens of growth chains all receiving investment.

I get why mom & pop's invest, even if it's high risk low reward. But everything in the middle that takes on millions in capital makes no sense

CS255 Intro to Cryptography was one of my favorite courses as a Stanford student. Dan is an incredible instructor. If you want more Stanford security course material, I also recommend CS253 Web Security (https://web.stanford.edu/class/cs253/) (disclosure: I created this course) and CS356 Topics in Computer and Network Security (https://cs356.stanford.edu/).

Videos for CS253 are online here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1y1iaEtjSYiiSGVlL1cH...
I wanted to have a better understanding of crypto, simply to feel more confident in writing programs that use existing protocols, and started 'Real-World Cryptography' by David Wong. I'm about 3/4 through, and I've been happy with it. It is light on math, but does go into it a little bit - it seems designed for the kind of person who isn't comfortable using something until they understand how it works under-the-hood, but doesn't actually need to do any under-the-hood work.

It has taught me enough that I think I could compose a protocol out of primitives that on the surface appears to do what I've intended it to do. It has also taught me that there are many subtleties that can completely break a protocol, combining primitives can lead to unexpected weaknesses, and many people who understand crypto far better than I ever will have created broken protocols out of secure primitives.

I'm not sure it's the book you're looking for, but I think it's a good book if you want to understand crypto, but not design your own.
