The Birthday Paradox is about a group of people sharing at least one birthday between them. If it was at least 1 person out of 23 people sharing YOUR birthday then the odds would be 1 - (364/365)^23 which is around 0.06 (or 6% chance). So, yes, this scenario is a lot less likely.

Does this mean that 2FA was not in place? For a company handling such personal information, this seems like a minimum requirement.

When educating the general public about the risks and limitation of LLMs, I think "hallucinating" is a useful term - it is something people can understand and it conveys the idea of LLMs being somewhat random and unreliable in their responses. I'm not sure "confabulating" is so easily understood or accessible.

Analysis finds isometric exercises that involve engaging muscles without movement the most effective for reducing blood pressure

Price will go up from $50 to $100 per seat. Now can only have 8 seats instead of 40 seats and only 1 project instead of unlimited projects.

Maybe this? This isn't THE biggest cruise ship ever built though. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/world-news/one-worlds-lar...

> ... can I do these trails on my full suspension mountain bike...?

Yes. It will be a bit more work on the pedalling front vs a dedicated gravel bike, but I doubt you will encounter any bike snobbery. I have gravel trails near where I live, and you see all kinds of bikes tackling them.

Yeah. Sorry about that. HN seems to auto remove the ellipses when you paste in the title.

I did that for a few of my posts and in the comments I was criticised for “editorialising”.

This is probably true for many other industries. Organisation experience / knowledge is very important in being effective in a role. When looking at productivity, organisations tend to overpay new starters (a new starter is often a net loss, particular in a skill based role) and underpay those who've been with the organisation for several years. Of course, people have to live, so you can't pay a new starter next to nothing with the promise of huge increases after 6 months.

Of course, the flip side is that sometimes that initial step of:

> "We are doing a prototype on our new mapping product, we need to write a one-off script to pull in some map data."

... is just that - a one off script. And it can prove to be a lot quicker to write a one-off script than getting involved with an ETL framework. I am not arguing against ETL Frameworks (Airbyte etc). Just that over-engineering carries its own costs, just like under-engineering does.

We are a .NET shop and have been using DbUp (https://dbup.readthedocs.io) for years now. It is fantastic. We had so many false starts managing production databases and keeping them consistent. DbUp has taken all that away, and now every upgrade or patch is repeatable and predictable. It is worth spending time identifying what in your database is idempotent (e.g. stored procs, functions) and what isn't. This way the idempotent objects can be upgraded every time and everything else just receives a single incremental update as required.

If you have a young family, working a 4 day week would make all the difference. At the moment I work 5 days and then go into a weekend which can be just as tiring as a work day with kids to tend to. With an extra day, this would mostly be when the kids are at school, so it would be genuine time to myself.

Yes. Considering the Hacker News audience, I didn't want people to click on the link thinking it was an in-depth, scientific discussion.

What is the alcohol content once fermentation is complete? Is it similar to wine?

Exactly this. I moved to New York in my early 20s, which would seem a bad choice for an introvert, but I loved just sitting and watching it all go by. It was like being in a human circus but you are in the audience rather than in the circus ring.
