Not sure where that hubris comes from. There are physical phenomena we have not been able to test, so there will always be unknowns and assumptions based on (abstract) modeling. eg the metallic liquid hydrogen described here https://edu.rsc.org/soundbite/hydrogen-falls-apart-under-pre...
It was meant to be a fun example of focusing on reality instead of theory, not a political tangent. Anyway, apologies.
note: graduated in 2018 at a public high school in California

we didn't have any "graduation exams" as many other countries do - just needed to pass the required courses to gain the high school diploma. Our state testing exams were mainly to address progress, as the Exit Exam was suspended in 2015.

Even if we had these graduation exams, they also may vary depending on school, district, and state.
Agreed. This tells us that we need to do 100 more studies and not much else. It doesn’t conclude that the people with these antibodies are actually any better off and not getting sick or not transmitting the disease. As you point out they might be worse off. Everyone here is getting very excited about this study because I suspect people think this means that everyone already had COVID so there is less reason to worry. This study says nothing of the sort.
No, but even if you were right, what would that have to do with Signal?

Wow, this is the only thing I've seen in this thread which doesn't just add another layer of turtles to the problem. With your suggestion, even if an attacker could gain access to the box, they wouldn't be able to get at the secrets.

So everyone in the scouts has to be a goal-oriented go-getter? I had no idea that I was a net drain on the scouts simply for not being a type-a personality.

What I read into your comment is more along the lines of:

I think that the boys should be on 'this' projected curve
of achievement going into the future, but these other boys
that have no goal of meeting my projected curve are distracting
the other boys that need to spend 100% of their time with
their eyes on the prize.

If the other scouts really are interested in making it to Eagle Scout then they will remain focused enough to get there. You have to consider the possibility that some boys will see it as a goal because they feel it is expected of them, but it doesn't hold any personal value to them. The uninterested boys that you see as a net drain are maybe the boys who have personally made the decision that they do not want to strive for that goal. Their decision could be affecting the other boys by showing them that not striving for Eagle Scout is also acceptable (but maybe they won't voice that aloud because their parents are the 'driving force' behind 'you must obtain Eagle Scout').
Thanks. I try to use Power Point as little as possible, but I've noticed some font issues between Win and Mac versions of Word too. Not surprising I guess, but none the less annoying.
I was hoping they were going to do this. I kept trying to get started, Twitter would go down, I would get pissed and back up and start over.
I just came from Koh Lanta. Amazing place, quite literally the most beautiful one I've ever been to. I spent a few days in Ko Phi Phi, which is great for partying, then went to Koh Lanta to chill. It's incredibly relaxed vibes. I went to Hong Kong afterward and spent the whole time there missing Koh Lanta!
Is this facetious? I am afraid I can't tell.
Alright, I'll try to see if the Analytics picked anything up. I don't have a Nexus 10 to test on personally, but I'll see if it happens on another tablet I have access to :)

Thank you for letting me know!
if you’re wondering why doctors don’t do this regularly, they can actually get into trouble with insurance companies if they have a policy of not collecting or forgiving copays.

There have been a few very high profile lab companies that have been prosecuted for this exact practice. TrueHealth was a recent one.

The media coverage will characterize the company as fraudulent.

The whole insurance system is corrupt to the core. Maybe those lab companies weren’t perfect but their real sin was just shining light on the broken system.
Just do the math. Total amount of energy they store is no more than a TEU container worth of lithium batteries, or few dozens of modern flywheels, or hundred so of plain steel ones.

I tried black coffee for short durations and hated it. So, I'm willing to say my experience follows the conclusion of the study.

However, people have wide variations in what they taste (and smell) as pleasurable. Without reading the study, I have a hard time being as binary as "nobody likes the taste of coffee".

> And, of course, the service itself, its apps, its sites, its traffic, can be blocked from accessing the EU internet (or being accessed from it).

In other words, the EU can attempt to extend its internet regulations over the rest of the world by implementing a China-style firewall. Well, we'll see if that happens.
Each node can only decrypt its own part of the message, and only obtain the information intended for itself. That is, from which node it got the message, and to which node it should deliver the message. With only access to this information, it is thought to be very difficult for nodes in the network to know what information they are carrying or who is communicating with whom.

Caveat: this won’t work against global passive adversaries (those who can see a significant portion of traffic going in and out), nor against governments willing to intercept and implant the hardware with backdoors.

I find it interesting that in the early days of crypto, people were hopeful that such fates might be avoided. But here we are, mostly subservient to a few large corporations —- and also to each other, since we carefully watch what we say.

In other words, the goal is to widely broadcast as many thoughts as possible, for most people. That seems to be in direct opposition with what the early creators of crypto imagined would happen, which is a neat outcome (for better or worse).
It is google algorithm. It pushes doen pure receipts in result, so they add fluff to go up in search.

The text is useless fluff. They gotta have something that looks like ranking worthy text to google and takes as little effort as possible (since humans will skip it).
On a related note, it's amazing to me that Bitcoin's Satoshi is still an anonymous figure. Many initial Bitcoin contributors are closely aligned with Crypto-Anarchism and some think that Satoshi is one of them. Either way, I think not diving into the spotlight says something good about a person.

> You have two people doing the same job but if you live in Romania and your colleague lives in the US at Gitlab you could earn a lot less.

Funny how that objectifies people if you approach it from the market side, but if you start from the human being side, it turns out equal payment doesn't always make sense.

How? Take a human being. One with abilities and needs - family, health, freedom, etc. They offer their abilities to you, the employer, because they need the ability to fulfill their needs. But the amount of resources to get there depend on their physical location: more expensive countries demand more money to fulfill the same needs. Therefore, paying the same would favor the needs of some over others.

If you consider that most humans have some need for fairness and justice, you can't pay equal rates for the same effort. Best you can do is equitable.

It's not the same as paying local market rates, but it precludes paying equally as a solution to objectification.

> This is a completely insane conclusion for anyone who knows anything at all abut the American legal system.

From the sound of it, you’re just regurgitating things you have heard but don’t have much 1st hand experience with. If you are a lawyer, it doesn’t sound like you have worked on billion dollar cases. I helped nearly 1,000 claimants on one of the largest tobacco jury verdicts and it was was only an award of ~$800M. So it’s not a knock and I could be wrong, you might be a lawyer too with a plethora of experience in billion dollar cases, it’s just extraordinarily rare and I don’t see someone with that experience making your comment.

There is a difference between a plea deal on a criminal case and even a settlement on your average personal injury case where legal fees might outweigh judgments, and cases that involve over a hundred thousand plaintiffs/claimants and billions of dollars in damages. While maybe 90% of cases do settle, billion dollar cases don’t often settle, and this settlement ranks among the largest settlements in history (top 3 or 4). Basically you have cases like the BP oil spill and other big tobacco cases exceeding this settlement. No one settles for $10B because they are worried the jury will get it wrong, nor did these companies settle because they were worried about press having a field day.

This is a quad-core device from 2012 with 8GB ram and a typical non-ssd hard drive.

I find this time to be damning in terms of considering Racket for a production system. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy some features of Racket and have used it for multiple personal PLT sidetrack projects, but how am I meant to deploy something that takes 13m (!!) to build one single package?

I'm spoiled with Go and Python, so I can enjoy very fast speeds in my typical work, and maybe I'm just out of touch with how much the Racket compiler is actually doing.

I'd love to know your feedback, and whether there's some way to speed Racket up.
Not sure why someone’s self-described envious rant after a peer got a bunch of attention deserves a spot at the top of HN.
“History, or current events tend to be Abysmal. ”

You are right, forgot to add that. We only did this at a small scale (I.e: mostly for our own consumption).

>So it’s okay to use literally to mean figuratively as long as you really, really, really need to do so? Hmph.

No need for the "hmph". It's how language works. Yes, a word can indeed have not only multiple meanings but also contrasting meanings. And there's nothing wrong with that nor is there a need to be judgmental about it.

It's not a particularly new meaning either

Perception of Mercedes is different in Europe than in the US. In Zurich, for example, Mercedes is probably the most common brand among normal taxis - some of them even S-classes with electronically adjustable black leather seats. I think Uber will have a hard time expanding into cities where the normal taxis already have a high standard.

Yes, I think I use this more than anything in my workflow.
I only know of a few, they tend to be other library specific. There is a ui add on for SDL. There is guichan if you are using opengl. CEGUI is the only one that I know of that has wide ranging support and is probably what I would recommend. You might also consider FLTK it is an app gui system not game specific but uses opengl to draw its widgets so it might be workable in a opengl app.
The snipmate plugin at http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2540 may be useful for other textmate users. As a non Textmate user (I use vim), I have no idea of how well it would map to their Textmate experience.
> As in Maslow's pyramid, each layer requires the previous one. It is useless for code that is charging the wrong customer to be readable.

Now would you rather have code that is having a bug but is readable or having code that is incomprehensible but afaik. was giving the right answer when last run? The latter is unfortunately just literally a bit away from being wrong and incomprehensible and a total write-off.
Wow! That’s absolutely bananas. I mean, I don’t want to tell physicians or medical researchers how to do their jobs. So, I have to defer to them. But the SNR is so high at that age it seems crazy to make that diagnosis.

I was diagnosed with 'off the charts' ADHD. Looking back, my parents say they can now connect the dots back to preschool (so, 3-4 years old). But at the time, neither my parents nor my teachers could differentiate my behavior from that of my peers. My doctor didn’t even bring it up until high school. That’s all anecdotal, of course. But the three most important parties (parents, teachers, doctor) missing an apparently obvious disorder makes me question diagnosing 2-3 year olds.
You can’t have bad numbers of no one ever writes down the bad stuff I guess?

There are different "paths" with different environments (parents).

I had plenty of time, and my parents were rather open regarding hobbies/extracurricular activities.

But they soon had "given up" on making me do thigs, caused by me quitting everything that wasn't novel and dismissing their "inputs".
My father is also a generalist, and was never keen on getting focused on single skills (he has some mad skills on some fields though, e.g. swimming, and that took quite some time and effort).

And although we were not poor, my father thought that hobbies don't have to be expensive, quite the opposite for kid's hobbies in fact (but we had our fair share of expensive hobbies and gear: snowboarding and bikes and unicycles and sailing and what not).

But most prominently, being a kid of the eighties, and dur to my parents working with "IT-People" in their job, they thought computers were not at all a desirable past time for a kid/teenager (despite my very urgent interest). A waste of time, either toy or nerd-tool. Somewhat what people previously thought of books.

So my biggest interest (programming) was always something I was myself dismissing and even avoiding for a few very important years, and I spent most of my time as a teenager in front of a TV, gaming or partying/meeting with friends outdoors.

I could have spent that time... differently, and I am not blaming anyone, not my parents and not me. I had a good time, but I might have appreciated a little guidance/company.

I just want to say I know why I was not a mad hacker at 17 - small details in paths are waiting everywhere, and there are more exceptions than rules.

Not so. The appeals court found in Oracle's favor, not Google's. Meaning they found that the API was copyrightable, and that Google's use was not fair use.

The majority supreme court opinion basically said "even assuming it is copyrightable, this IS fair use", with the implication that if it's not copyrightable, there is no case, so the same outcome, a win for Google. They intentionally were keeping their decision as little precedent setting as possible.

Thomas' dissent said "you can't decide this based on hypotheticals! You have to decide whether it's copyrightable or not first!" - had justice Thomas felt the code was not copyrightable in the first place he could have written his own concurring opinion. In fact, he did not; his position, as made clear in his dissent, was that he felt APIs -were- copyrightable, AND that this was not fair use.

The court did not agree with him. And had the court first started with addressing whether an API was copyrightable, the outcome would have either been they are not (a more far reaching decision, but still a win for Google), or that they were, and that this was fair use (so the same outcome, but now with, again, a more far reaching decision).

You claim that Thomas is saying that "if the court decided it was copyrightable, then they would have also had to have found this was not fair use". If that is indeed what he said (not my take on it, but I'll grant it), that is false on the face of it, as that is -explicitly what the court did not do-. They accepted it was copyrightable as a hypothetical, and then focused solely on, if that is true, was this was fair use? And they found that it was. To form an argument in this way is logically consistent; Thomas may disagree with it, as is his right, but the statement that the court has made a logical error is absurd.

The article mentions the cost of commuting that is now saved by working from home, but fails to mention the new added cost of maintaining a workspace in your home. Prior to covid I would work from the couch on WFH days, but that's not sustainable for full time work. Now my wife and I have to have two permanent setups, and it's a challenge to make it all work.

If my industry goes mandatory WFH forever, I'll probably eventually have to think about a new industry.
I didn't mean to imply that the left is any less emotional and irrational with its beliefs. I find it equally exhausting.

The way you are doing the accounting here, it's like the supplies used in manufacturing have negative utility -- they are a cost paid, "a clear loss for the manufacturer".

Work has positive utility when it creates something of value. Considering the money paid for it as coextensive with the work is a mistake because people can work to create value without getting paid, as sometimes happens to unfortunate people. It is no more reasonable to treat the work inputs into a good as having negative utility as it is to treat the money paid for it as having negative value.

Electric Retailers in Texas are stuck with this ask on ancillary charges. On an average 300x - 400x on a seven day spend. ERCOT chose to keep lights on in some areas, and take it down in other areas to prevent a grid collapse. All these utilities and generators who are now waiting for $2 billion payouts ( not because they actually incurred the cost, instead the algorithm designed to run at peak load kicked in ) instead would have been waiting for the grid to come back up and running up losses. Legislature/ ERCOT / PUC, needs to declare this as ‘act of nature / whatever’ , backdate a clause in the ancillary charges declaring a minimum load based on QSE (Qualified Scheduling Entities that ask for the buy the previous day or before) forecasts to be on the grid. Generators / Utilities now have learnt they can make money on such event, will trigger this a lot more in the future, every minor excuse they can find.
