Why would anyone take the other side of this bet? It's an incredible financial instrument, that anyone on the buyside would buy in an instant (as formulated -- ignored fees/tcosts etc).
Oh thanks for sharing, never found that somehow. It seems that's mostly formalising the general idea of adding a prefix to a UUID, but you still end up storing them as variable length strings.

I left 4 bits out in UPID as a version specifier, so could theoretically add a version with longer prefixes or more/less timestamp precision if that seemed useful to anyone.
Part of the goal is not to get in the way if there's other aspects of a project that talk to WebGPU directly. If you're already using WebGPU the correspondence should be pretty familiar if you look at the `gpu.h` source. We specifically avoided extra layers of indirection so that you can mix in direct calls against the WebGPU API when needed.

Phones, laptops, GPUs and many other modern highly integrated electronic products are repairable. Look it up, there are tons of videos on YouTube of people doing component level repairs. Leaked schematics make a huge difference here.
We've solved that issue with Trino. Superset and a lot of other BI tools support connection to it and it's a very cost efficient engine (compared to DWH solutions). Another way to go even cheaper is using Athena, if you're on AWS.
Beyond the features that the sibling comment mentioned, this kind of data isn’t really for end users. It’s a way that you can package it up, “anonymize” it, and sell the data to interested parties.

Exactly. No point being the one taking the risk - if the professionals don't dare take the risk then any non-professional (fund buyer) shouldn't either (under normal circumstances).

PS. Furthermore, an accurate comparison is not beating the index, it's beating it enough to cover the salary/compensation of the fund manager + some (with less risk! Risk = cost!)

"several feet thick."

I don't know how thick a feet is, where we live we don't measure distances by the length of the feet of the king.

But I have lived for 10 years in a house with 30 cm thick walls and it has a tremendously positive effect, when outsite it is 30C and inside the walls are still 20C into July.

"mold and mildew"

Didn't have that problem in 10 years. This more happens with modern insulation than thick stone walls from my experience YMMV.

Probably for more robust backwards compatibility with software that might assume a given value for or write to the reserved bits. The assignment of bits to registers like this in the hardware is pretty arbitrary, there's not really any cost to using the higher bits

>> natural carnivores long been hunted out of existence

That is a trend seen in island nations. Japan and the UK both wiped out the large predators. Some speculate that when a country owns and entire landmass that the one government/culture gains control sufficient to enforce its will absolutely. Don't like bears? They can be wiped out with the passing of one law. Where landmasses are divided, no one government/culture has power. Take the US/Canada landmass. Countless US animals (ie wolves) only survive in the US from refuge populations in Canada. Had the US culture owned the entire landmass, as in the UK, then wolves would likely have been eliminated.
Yes. Bootloaders are still complex, but there is less legacy setup that is required. That said, if you're targeting UEFI instead of BIOS, it's a great deal simpler on x86 as well.
I don't think the risk is "absurd". Or, at least it's no different than the risk they ask any investor to take by charging them 1% of their portfolio for it to be "actively managed".

Plus, they are being compensated. I'm offering 90% of the returns above the index :-)

> Do you believe that investment is entirely random and there is absolutely no skill involved?

The skill involved is more just "best practices" that let you match the market: Buy-and-hold, diversify, basically, do what the index funds do and you will be roughly +0 to the market. Beyond that, it's a totally random distribution that adds between -X and +X which allows some participants to beat the market and causes some to underperform. You can't tell beforehand which participants will beat the market, even having full knowledge of their strategies and skill. If you think you can, please tell me which active funds will beat the market in the next 10 years based on their skills. I'll invest in them.
What you write is eerily similar to one of the pain points of Haskell. You can write a compiler that is purely functional. But then you want logging so you must put wrap it with the IO monad. And then also every function that calls the compiler and so on.
> How does that explain Warren Buffet’s spectacular success?

1. Buffett has been underperforming the S&P 500 for about twenty years now:

* https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/warren-buffett-has-underperfo...

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37827101

For most people who are saving for retirement between the ages of (say) 30 to 65, that's most of their investing lifetime, and such underperform could radically effect the life they can live once they start working. Do you want risk your proverbial Golden Years simply because you chose not to take the market average returns?

2. While Buffett is a better-than-average investor (and certainly better than me), the main reason why we know him is because he's so rich, but as Morgan Housel notes, the vast majority of that wealth has come from compounding:

> As I write this Warren Buffett’s net worth is $84.5 billion. Of that, $84.2 billion was accumulated after his 50th birthday. $81.5 billion came after he qualified for Social Security, in his mid-60s. Warren Buffett is a phenomenal investor. But you miss a key point if you attach all of his success to investing acumen. The real key to his success is that he’s been a phenomenal investor for three quarters of a century. Had he started investing in his 30s and retired in his 60s, few people would have ever heard of him. Consider a little thought experiment. Buffett began serious investing when he was 10 years old. By the time he was 30 he had a net worth of $1 million, or $9.3 million adjusted for inflation.[16] What if he was a more normal person, spending his teens and 20s exploring the world and finding his passion, and by age 30 his net worth was, say, $25,000? And let’s say he still went on to earn the extraordinary annual investment returns he’s been able to generate (22% annually), but quit investing and retired at age 60 to play golf and spend time with his grandkids. What would a rough estimate of his net worth be today? Not $84.5 billion. $11.9 million. 99.9% less than his actual net worth. Effectively all of Warren Buffett’s financial success can be tied to the financial base he built in his pubescent years and the longevity he maintained in his geriatric years. His skill is investing, but his secret is time. That’s how compounding works. Think of this another way. Buffett is the richest investor of all time. But he’s not actually the greatest—at least not when measured by average annual returns.

This makes a ton of sense given how complex text rendering is, and the history of high-severity CVEs since text rendering is so exposed with things like web fonts and PDF embedding. I’d bet Apple is looking into that as well as they’ve certainly had their share of vulnerabilities, too.
That is why I say the two are not compatible.
it is outrageous invasion of privacy to keep constant tracking records of all locations over long periods of time, yet a user is outraged when they "lose" access to it?! Does a faith in personal access to data stores override any and all opaque backend practices of a massive company? like a cargo cult -- the company will return all of our precious data and we will be made whole
Well I think many fund managers regularly take on risk to achieve higher returns. They just won’t take on 100% downside risk while being taxed 10% on the upside.
Google gives most privacy controls than any other major Internet company and actually works really hard to honor it.

Still, you can do two things to maximize your privacy:

1. In https://myactivity.google.com/activitycontrols, disable all activity history – everything should show "off".

2. In iOS, turn off background permission to all Google apps. (You can do this for most apps without loss in functionality). Then, turn off location permission all apps. For maps, give it location permission to "allow while using" only.

This is the least intrusive you can get to. Beyond this, you can also use different google account for different google apps to minimize data mingling. Further beyond that, you can just stop using google apps.
There are some research (instead of cherry picking/anecdotes). I don't have any links right now but basically half of the funds lose compared to the index (by law of nature - averages and all that). Furthermore, taking fees into account, just a few percentages make anything more (over time) - which is probably within scope of randomness.
I think a word is missing from the front page:

That's not the only point of methods, even if it's the only one the designers of Go envisioned. Another very relevant purpose is method chaining syntax. That is, with instance methods you can write a.b().c(), with functions you have to write c(b(a)). This turns out to be extremely relevant for longer chains.

Of course, other than generic methods, this could also be supported by just supporting universal function call syntax. That is, the compiler could simply take f(x, a) and x.f(a) to be perfectly equivalent, regardless of whether f is a method of x's type or a free floating method. There is some minor complication because of backwards compatibility, but that's easily fixed (the syntax you use can prefer the function f vs the method f if there is any ambiguity).

On the other hand, generic methods can be extremely useful in their own right, for other reasons as well. Having generic methods in an interface, such that a type has to have a generic method to implement that interface, is perfectly reasonable as a feature request - it wouldn't contradict anything in the spirit of Go. Of course, the implementation can have problems and trade-offs, I'm not claiming this is an easy feature to implement. But I don't think it's excluded.
What would the alternative be, as you can't just edit someone else's repo?

Besides just cloning it and making the change locally, of course.
Show HN: WordSea – Visual English Dictionary
Hi!
My girlfriend and I created an app that allows you to "see" the meaning of words based on their definitions.

We think it is sometimes easier to understand and remember a new word when you can visualize it. For some words, it is easy to do - you can search Google Images to quickly grasp the meaning. We wanted to extend this idea to more abstract words.

Hope you find it useful!
If you want to make use of it, HN has a section for things you've made you want to show others and get feedback, 'Show HN', you just prefix your title with 'Show HN:', i.e. 'Show HN: [rest of your title].

> I think it's fair to say Trump incited a riot and was directing the energy at Pence, because that was the legal option left.

Yes, it was his only legal option left to overturn the election and stay in power. This means that he attempted to overturn the election and stay in power. Our whole discussion should end here, but somehow his attempt is supposed to be acceptable, because it relies on a never-before used reading of documents, which coincidentally could have been allowed by the same courts he stacked?

> An intent to actually overthrow the government would have been a bigger coordinated effort instead of plausible deniable acts that failed rather quickly. At worst Trump is an opportunist here and that doesn't seem enough to call it an insurrection.

But there was a bigger coordinated effort. Fake electors were actually sent and stood ready. Republicans coordinated with leaders of multiple organizations, including the Proud Boys, and organized the rally close to the Capitol. Dozens of people worked to make the whole plot possible, and only a few individuals stopped it by not going along, which Trump attempted to coerce via indirect threats of violence.

I won't engage in discussions on your second paragraph - you're completely misrepresenting the situation, and I don't think that this point was brought up in good faith. There was no coordination by Democrats with members of supporting organizations, or anything comparable to fake electors, during the situation you mentioned. You're once again ignoring all of the actions taken behind the scenes, which I've mentioned before - why are you ignoring it again?
For a few years I was hoping someone would create something like this, or I’d eventually do it myself. Thank you!
I understand what they meant.
The vocal minority of tech enthusiasts who want a more open computing platform are the same people who can make great use of the alternatives.

And the EU isn't "requesting" things, nor are they definitively "improvements". Apple has worked very hard to create a safe platform, a safe ecosystem, and the EU is demanding that they weaken some of those defense mechanisms.

I personally feel Apple has struck a reasonable balance, and I value the benefits.

My biggest foible: Our 400 person company had issued blackberries and was pulled into a project where all the work was in India. I covered EMEA, and phone rates were like a quarter a minute, or something like that. There was no concern about using the phone/data.

I ended up spending a significant amount of time over there and one thing I noticed is it looked like I had a different carrier every time I looked at the device. Did not think much of it in the couple months I was there. When I got back - one of our Ops guys called me and we discovered it was closer to $9/min, with absurd data charges. Sat down with the CFO, as the $12k charge was not projected. I had no idea if I was about to be canned or not.

Instead, leadership and sales got brand new blackberries, with an unlocked SIM card. Celebrations by all the brass... Was very happy to have a job.
It shouldn't be a dichotomy, but security zealots not caring about usability or putting the risks in context makes it such.

HTTPS by default is good, especially after Let's Encrypt. Before that is was not worth the hassle/cost most of the time.

E.g. forced MFA everywhere is not good.

> Also, a hacker will replace the broken glass within milliseconds, and you won't find out it was ever broken.

This is very rare in practice for normal users. Again, risks in context please.
I wouldn’t call my case a horror story. This is still a million times better than how it was, and I’d absolutely go back do it again.

In fact I am considering getting a “tune up” round, but it’s a lot of money and leaves your eyes out of operation for quite a while. Alternatively, I might get astigmatism glasses that I wear exclusively in places I need to see well in low light, for instance movie theater credits are always a challenge (which would be a non-issue if my GF didn’t make us sit through all the credits to every movie we see…)

There’s nothing quite like the quality of life delta that comes from waking up every morning and simply being able to see.

Oh, and with periods of concerted effort I’ve been able to temporarily remove the astigmatism entirely, by basically training my eyes how to focus. There’s a good chance continuing to do that more frequently would give me a permanent fix too.

I think this gets at a deeper point I'm trying to make.

If you truly can consistently beat the market, you are already making a killing with your _own_ money.

If you want to use _my_ money to place your bets (presumably b/c you want to leverage your market beating ability), I want a guarantee (because I'm more than happy to take the return of the index).
