I think you're both right to a degree? They are lens artifacts and we can't just remove them because we don't have the data of what's behind the spikes, as that is what the sensor can see. We'd be filling them in wi

Strictly following the law because it is the law is precisely amoral. You are taking moral judgement out of the question.

I'm listening to this in a separate tab, not watching the video, and I feel like I'm missing absolutely nothing for not watching a floating Carmack Cartoon torso that occasionally blinks.

Abstract says they adjusted for potential confounders. Presumably wealth was one of them, as that seems like an obvious thing to control for in any health study.

Ok so the reason this painfully predictable reaction every time Cloudflare is on HN is because HNers have such a deep understanding of "what's happening." Got it.

How did anyone cross the river before the bridge was built? If the bridge falls into disrepair or they start charging people an arm and a leg to use it, what stops someone else from coming along and building a better bridge? If Bridgeflare

Is anyone else worried about how Cloudflare keeps putting out great solutions day after day? They're getting too big because people are too satisfied with them. That's a bad thing, because one day in the future they might take awa

Yup that's what I'm thinking. Higher wages would encourage more elaborate fraud (faking identity, paying a strong interviewer to sit in for you, paying people to pretend to be your references, paying someone in the company to refe

How do higher wages discourage fraud?

You've seen the film The Man with the Golden Gun ? A cufflink here, a pen there, that pack of chewing gum... assembled together could be a cheating device.

I think the guidelines are to encourage civility and healthy discussion. That is, to not dismiss an argument by calling the person a bot. But if the person claims to be a bot, I don't see how it can be a community violation to call a b

Maybe. Doesn't change the silliness of people defending it without doing the least bit of investigation, which they would see by looking at the profile that the account claims to be a bot. Edit: I replied before you edited your comment

Related: There's a GPT-3 bot on HN[1]. Somebody recently commented[2] that the bot was convincing, and a couple replies criticized them for calling it a bot (one citing ToS). [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=Tra

Yep, one of the nice things about HN is finding a topic that is kinda random and that I wouldn't have gone searching for. But I click on it because it piques my interest, and I end up learning something that might be useful or gives me

Nice, I had heard of the Kelly Criterion before but never thought to consider applying it to this situation. It's fantastic if the mathematically correct amount to wager (for any ordinary person) is less than $2 which rounds to 0 ticke

Great analysis. I want to share my thoughts on EV because they seem to go against what pretty much everyone else is saying. I think even if the EV was >$2, it would still be irrational to play. I say this because I think it's silly

Sounds awful, but it could be worse. At least the Facebook-managed McDonald's is trying to chase after what most people seem to want. A Google-managed McDonald's would just shut down, even though everyone loves McDonald's, be

That would probably just advantage the rich who can afford to keep much of their assets locked up for long periods of time, and even borrow against them.

That does not make sense from a game-theoretic standpoint. You would be helping other landlords at your own expense. It would be better to let other landlords make that sacrifice and rent our your own properties for as much as you can get.

To add to your point, you can rent a gosiwon[1] in Korea for as little as $230/mo. I'm sure these would not even be allowed to exist in any city in the US. The hallways are not ADA compliant. The rooms don't meet some minimum

Yeah I think companies will push for full return to office (while making exceptions for top performers who push back) as a way to reduce headcount without having to layoff. Cheaper that way.
