Maybe, but I kinda doubt it. The bandages weren't water-tight around my toes.

I suspect the relevant thing was that there was increased immune activity in my foot due to the wounds (or it was just a coincidence)
Sturgeon's law squared, maybe cubed if you include recruiters.
oh the word games in this thread.

This is an old concept:

System 1 and System 2 (The linked article but also everyone?)

book: Thinking fast and slow (Daniel Kahneman)

analogy: Elephant and Rider (Haidt)

analogy: Charioteer and Horse (stoics)

An impulse is not blindly obvious (e.g., unconscious bias or unquestioned assumptions), and an intelligent person may or may not have correct biases / impulses in all situations. However, a person who can sit with their impulses, override them, and try to see through them through reflection may in fact have something that is synonymous with intelligence to a degree (thesis of TFA).

I believe the implication is that "much of intelligence is reflection" and that "continuous reflection yields better intuition on the reflected domain". Not "a person born with high IQ has better instincts".
Insider Trading is not even a crime (in the US). You can buy and sell stock for companies you have a relationship whether its employer/employee or a contractual relationship.

The actual crime is using "Material Nonpublic Information" [1] and it does not matter how you obtained it. So, asking an employee what they're building and they ignore the confidentiality agreement to tell you - Nonpublic. Stalking surveyers from public land to find the lots they're commonly around - public.

As someone not super rich, this is already a problem and is fundamental to the operation of a functional democracy.

If everyone could allocate their tax dollars as they saw fit, then we would not see funding for issues that don't affect the largest contributors - like universal healthcare, subsidised female sanitary products, public education and transport.

For better or for worse, a subscription to a balanced well-managed democratic system requires financial contribution AND political participation.

For instance, if you're ultra wealthy and believe in the right for women to seek abortion, vote that way and convince others to do so as well.

Charities are often a hidden form of tax evasion rather than a means to allocate funds to causes an individual believes in (though there are certainly exceptions).

That said, if we are talking about the USA, that's not an great example of a well functioning democratic system - it's rated internationally as a "flawed democracy" (sharing that rating with South Africa, India, Malaysia).

If a super rich US citizen wanted to improve the allocation of their tax contributions, best bang-for-their-buck would be campaigning for electoral reform.

... or just change their tax residency to a country that offers a lower tax rate
It doesn't sound that similar in the twitter video.

But I have tried many times. It does sound similar to me. Ask her to recite poetry with natural pauses and expression.
Half the articles and sources here fall under that category, FWIW.
Yeah, otherwise why would well poisoning be an ancient practice?
Is there a user-block feature? (I can't find one.)
It's kind of both ways. Your impulse is controlled by your amygdala. Fight or flight, where "fight" in this instance represents running into a building to save others.

However, being able to reflect on your first impulse means you will sit back and assess the situation: "Can I get in?", "What are my chances?", "Am I protected enough?", "Will the structure collapse soon?", etc.

So your first instinct may be to run in, but you hesitate because you want to do that critical thinking first.

My two cents though to you giantg2, the mentality you have is not feasible in the private sector as neither employers nor employees have any loyalty anymore.

Either switch to a government programming job (plenty of those now and they are increasingly remote first - especially Federal) or a new industry.

Or start learning the game (how to market yourself, constantly upskilling with "hot" tech stacks, networking, etc).
Yes and the safeguards are put in place by a very small group of people living in silicon valley.

I saw this issue working at Tinder too. One day they announced how they will be removing ethnicity filters at the height of the BLM movement across all the apps to weed out racists. Nevermind that many ethnical minorities prefer or even insist on dating within their own ethnicity and this was most likely hurting them and not racists.

That really pissed me off and opened my eyes to how much power these corporations have over dictating culture, not just toward their own cultural biasis but that of money.
Yep, this is how I typically do it. I wonder how much concern over pixelation is actually mistaken due to the inability to observe this technique.
I prefer [1,2,3,4].sum that you can get in ruby out of the box, but `1 2 3 4 sum` would look great too.

Now if we want to handle compounded expression, you need either a given constant finite number of argument, or have a reserved word to mark grouping, much like `)`. A bit like stack based programming languages.

There is absolutely nothing universal about that. Instead, drinking water seems to be universal accross cultures.
He also bypassed multiple urgent care centers and went to the Mayo Clinic ER adjacent to North Scottsdale, instead of going to closer Banner University in Downtown Phoenix. He doesn't say if Mayo is in network, but that would be a shocker. Funny there is always a 'rest of the story' in these policy based stories.
I think a major part of it is a form of "institutional blindness" where the people who do see it don't mention anything wrong because there's only downside to doing so; the first person who can't be "retaliated" against goes "what the fuck is this"?
It's also a complex number, a Unicode character, an ASCII character, an Extended ASCII character, a glyph, the multiplicative identity element, a raster image, ...

The GP point is correct; we implicitly convert between all these representations naturally and quickly, but there are interesting branches of mathematics that consider those conversions explicitly and find nuances (eg, category theory).
I've personally derailed some projects just by honestly asking "hey, isn't this illegal" in a group of well meaning people.

Somehow, people don't even notice.
I'm usually guilty of this. The hands-on person involved in a highly technical project gets excited and bogged down in the details of the project that they end up not being the most compelling storyteller about it.
Minor tangent, one of the main subjects of this article, Conrad Bassett-Bouchard, was a student in our Master's of Human-Computer Interaction program at Carnegie Mellon University many years ago. He joined after winning the National Scrabble Championship. I had the pleasure of teaching him in one of our courses (Programming Usable Interfaces, sort of an intro to prototyping and programming for non-programmers). I briefly quizzed him one time about how many words you can spell using hexadecimal (0xDEADBEEF, 0xCAFEBABE, etc).

He went on to be a UX designer and manager on Google Store and Google Fi (see his home page at https://www.conradbb.com/).

The math is not that simple.

Investing in Swift would to an extent canibalize Go, Dart/Flutter, TypeScript, C#. You know, the technologies which have creators that actually care and invest billions in cross-platform development.

Not to mention fragmentation.

The End of Everything – Victor David Hanson
Checked exceptions are only hated because java historically hasn’t provided enough syntactic sugar for it, basing it on inheritance is not the best decision and due to it being sort of outside java’s general type system. (Note: Java is thinking about making switch expressions able to handle exception cases as well, which would help tremendously)

I think the backlash against them was way too hard to the point that basically no other mainstream language dared trying them out, even though exceptions in general are - in my slightly subjective opinion - the best form of error handling, paired with some static guarantees sounds like an optimum. They do the correct thing by default (auto-unwrap in the happy case, auto-bubble up with a stacktrace in the unhappy one), and let’s one control their handling on as wide or narrow scope as required (try blocks). Nonetheless, I think that they are to be used for exceptional situations, like network interrupts, OS errors, etc. Expected error conditions, like parsing a number failing is best encoded as a sum type, analogously to an Either/Result type.

Newer research languages with effect types might resurface this “lost” idea, I’m definitely looking forward to them.
It would be nice if the article had additional details.

Did the email come from within their own domain? Like a properly set-up domain isn't going to let you spoof their employees so your emails to the CEO will be authoritative since they came from the correct domain (assume your CEO checks its ycombinator.com and not ycombimator.com).

At 4k though I suspect it's not that worthy of a target when you can do the same effort to net 25 million. Although I'm a bit surprised there isn't some internal page to add/remove the hardware requests so that it can be easily accounted for by accounting.

I mean firefox's built in pdf reader is PDF.js. Also the desktop version of adobe reader used to run javascript embedded in pdfs by default as a "feature". I'm not sure you can get away from it at this point, but it would be nice to have the option to just use a desktop pdf reader that doesn't even support javascript or running any code embedded in the pdf. Maybe my use case is limited but I don't see the point of it. If you want interactivity you can use a website so people can expect that sort of stuff.
I have the exact same problem, except on Uber Eats.
Bad mechanism design. Publication bias is bad even in academia, but within a corporate context there are overwhelming incentives to bury research that shows harms. Making safety requirements that work, for anything, requires independent auditors and researchers, and allowing the value of corporate secrecy to override laws ensuring safety mean that safety will never be a priority in a meaningful sense. A requirement about internal research is nearly useless, mostly enabling issuing some trifling fines way after the fact of something going horribly wrong
Show HN: I created ChainClarity: An AI that simplifies crypto whitepapers
Hey HN, we just launched ChainClarity – a tool my partner and I developed to demystify cryptocurrency whitepapers using AI.

Our goal? To make the intricate details of blockchain projects accessible to everyone, from crypto newbies to seasoned investors.

What's unique? ChainClarity not only breaks down complex topics into understandable insights (now) but also keeps you updated on the latest and most promising crypto innovations (soon).

We'd love to hear your thoughts on how AI can transform crypto research and what features you think could enhance your understanding and investment decisions. Dive in, ask questions, and let's discuss how we can drive clearer insights into the blockchain space!
Google, (the Google Chrome team), have stated before that "[JPEG XL] doesn't provide significant benefits over existing image formats" [1] and have been vocal in there disinterest in shipping support for it (they deprecated experimental support) [1]

My guess is that the newest/latest JPEG encoder developed by Google researchers, Jpegli[2], has a lot to do with this. Jpegli has been described in a Reddit comment as "a JPEG encoder that was developed by the JXL [JPEG XL] folks and the libjxl psychovisual model" and described to have superior performance to WebP (lossy WebP) [3]. that whole reddit thread has comments relevant to this discussion, specifically about the tradeoffs of supporting extra formats in browsers.

And only XSS? What does that mean in the context of the page, or an electron app? How can this guy know "just an XSS" is not catastrophic?
While I agree I was influenced by confirmation bias to recall an anecdote that supports the blog’s argument, I don’t think it’s very meaningful to call out. It’s most important to consider confirmation bias if you are being overly supportive or dismissive of an argument, beyond what the evidence suggests. It would also be important to consider confirmation bias before making decisions.

It's called sub-pixel rendering or sub-pixel anti-aliasing[1]. Most LCD displays have RGB[2][3] subpixel layouts. Sub-pixel AA takes advantage of this to increase the horizontal resolution of a raster framebuffer by a factor of 3, at the cost of this colour ringing on high-contrast edges such as text—especially on lower-resolution displays. Windows' implementation is called ClearType[4].

It is increasingly less useful as pixel densities increase.

You can run C# on almost any device and you can do backed, front-end, desktop, games, utilities and whatnot using it. I think Swift has a lower appeal being tied to iDevices.
This NY Post story is speculative; the VC firm that did this (stupid) hiring thing, of asking people to take a free online IQ test and a Meyers-Briggs personality test(!), got called out on Twitter and backed down, blaming the process on an intern. They weren't sued. I'm not saying you won't get dunked on if you, for instance, Wonderlic-test applicants for your tech company. You will. But I don't think you're going to get sued.
I have removed several warts in a similar way. I just use a razor to progressively shave them away during my hygiene routine when I trim my nails. After 3-4 times the root of the wart is exposed, "dries", and crumbles away.
I imagine it is a simple matter of removing tissue faster than the wart can grow back. I assume this isnt standard practice because most people are scared of cutting themselves and doctors dont do it because multiple visits aren't practical.

poison oak was supposedly a chumash treatment for warts. i tried it and it worked! grind up some leaves into a paste, sand the wart down a bit, apply the paste, and cover with tape. it may be that the poison oak is enough to trigger an immune response which actually rids you of the wart.
The rest of the instructions surely was effective in ensuring that the banana rubbing would be done for long and hard enough!
Method calls are infix:

Yes, intelligence is more a multiplier of effects, rather than something useful in and of itself.

You still need knowledge, skill, training, etc. Intelligence will allow you to acquire all of that more quickly and make better use of it, but intelligence without knowledge is useless.

And just like taller people aren't better than shorter people, more intelligent people aren't better than less intelligent people. Nothing can make you a good person except your choices to do good things.
It would only make it harder for new grads, as unions aim to help their constituents increase salaries, which means paying non-union hires waaaaaay less.

Look at the Automotive Engineering industry in Ohio/Penn/Mich for example - a union contract engineer will earn a decent amount, but the majority of new hiring is non-union.
Not for Starbucks, who does fancy per-user VLANs, but for your local spot that's using an AP-router-combo they bought at Best buy, it sure is.
Exactly, the stupid bit is using the original text to drive the pixelization. Another approach would be to just generate random gray pixel values over the redacted text. Simple. Simpler even than the weird assumption that you would use the original text.
The Placebo Effect really works sometimes!
I wonder how many restaurants in coastal cities actually serve fresh fish any more. I'm sure some do but I'd bet a large number of such restaurants have moved to flown-in frozen seafood because it's cheaper or because the local stocks are overfished.

To add my story, there is another solution that is available.

When I was born, I had a wart on the bottom of my foot that I never thought anything of. But during my teenage years (~20 years ago), the wart started to multiple. It eventually became a small wart colony on the bottom of my foot and began to bother me. I went to see a foot specialist. They discovered that warts are actually a virus and could be treated by taking an oral medication. Apparently, the virus responds to something in a pig's liver ( I don't remember the name). But I took this pill for a few months. The Dr said, if the virus responded to the medication, the warts will start to turn black and begin to spread throughout the body. The black skin is the wart cells dying off. The medication has a really high efficiency rate (I think it was like 70-80% of the time it works). He was right. I went about once a week where he would scrap the dead black wart cells off my foot. The warts also spread to my thumb and finger. But keeping to the medication. They all went away and the skin grew back ( no marks or scaring). It was literally like magic. Yes, it hurt when he scrapped the dead cells off and it took a long time (~3 months maybe?). But they never grew back. The Dr said they will never come back because my immune system will fight it.

To add to the duct tape part. I believe (can't remember), at first, That the doctor would apply duct tape to my foot to help speed the effectiveness of the medication. But only before it started to turn black. Afterwards, he just used a bandage. I didn't use or need it for my hand though.
Why Less Is More When Pitching Your Fractional Practice
I doubt many people are doing this. Many times the pixelation is visibly obviously terrible. In fact if you look at the pixelation challenge in this post, you can almost simply read off the answer with just a bit of concentration. I see a lot of things like that, sadly.

The cryptographers like to say that just because you've created a cryptography scheme strong enough to defeat yourself doesn't mean you've created a strong cryptography scheme. I feel like redaction is much the same. You really need to go with solid, proved techniques, and avoid the proved-weak ones.
