it seems clear to me from first principles and from experience [0] that the result from voluntary compensation sharing skews low compared to the actual population. it's the people who want to complain about low wages who participate in

even if total compensation was decreasing, the results for the company can be improved by being able to provide their services at a lower price point by cutting costs. cutting costs is not "screwing workers". cutting costs is key

my initial reaction: wait who cares about the temperature forecast? it seems like the easier part and the not particularly-important part. > The Weather Service also assesses its precipitation forecast, but the patterns are a little hard

in the simplest case... just mirror it (some call this a Laplace distribution). if you don't like how it's not differentiable at the mode there are further smoothings (see, e.g., the wikipedia article for this distribution) but th

the two-sidedness of Shogi pieces is to deal with promotions, not control. the pieces have a pointy end, which indicates control; you just rotate the piece so it's pointing the correct way when you drop it. when promoted pieces are cap

if you can tell where the book is, it's not zero-knowledge anymore... see my other comments -- the idea is that in each round you should be able to verify the construction (there's a Waldo-sized hole and the correct book and pag

no, that's not even close to the whole point. the analogy is to introduce the concept of proving something to a verifier without giving the verifier the solution the paint-mixing analogy of diffie-hellman also can't be done over t

you're just renaming things here. the expected real (as opposed to nominal) value is still zero or negative. people don't run insurers out of the kindness of their hearts.

This whole "discussion" indicates only one real thing: people who have been scammed by a sales tactic will most likely double down on their past poor decisions instead of reevaluating the facts, as they are now emotionally inves

I don't think the exclusivity was really the problem. If a console has enough bangers people will buy it. But certainly what Square Enix has produced doesn't rise anywhere near to the level of "good enough to get the console

This is a good point but you're never going to win an argument with somebody who has spent more money than warranted on a purchase. Whether it be title insurance, a name brand on an item that came from the same factory as another item,

The first order bit of better outreach is a low price point, which they've completely lost the plot on. If going public is what takes them to realize it, I'll cheer it on.

This blog post starts off saying it's part one of a three-part series so the lack of detail makes a lot of sense in context. Given that it's a corporate blog post, it's unlikely that we'll get a particularly deep technic

My Eaton all-in-one CAFCI/GFCI circuit breakers CHFN115A1CS are acting up and are tripping without reporting a flash code (either nothing or solid on after reset). Older models CHFN115AF (CAFCI-only) and CHFN115DF seem to be fine (alon

aⁿ grows (a/b)ⁿ as quickly as bⁿ. The multiplicative difference still grows exponentially in n.

I feel like 9p is a better competitor in this space, and I've actually heard of people using it (e.g. the Windows Subsystem for Linux mounts host filesystems this way and so does Crostini, the ChromeOS equivalent).

They check for exactly one bp for the happy case. If it's zero or 2+, they ask for a boarding pass.

They do if you have multiple valid boarding passes leaving that airport the same day. The flow is present ID -> machine says "multiple flights, scan bp for one of them"

Except you explicitly uploaded an encryption key, not a signing key! This action broadcasts to the world the message "you can encrypt communications to this identifier using this key"! This is seriously like telling somebody that
