And you really need to Google "selection bias." If you weren't devoutly religious, you didn't get the support from society you needed to do science.

Keeping this unfortunate state of affairs from happening again is becoming a very serious problem, even in the twenty-first century.

Meanwhile, nobody credits Newton's passions for alchemy and astrology for his insights -- only his Christianity.
Japan is moving towards the 'kite' formation common to aging populations which throughout history resembled more of a pyramid, and more often today look like a cylinder. The simple solution would be immigration which will occur eventually whether or not the politicians and people of Japan want it. It would be better to do it now and slower then later on and with larger groups because acclimating foreigners to Japanese society will be more difficult if large enough populations of immigrants can come in to form their own communities. Perhaps that would be best, who knows, but the Japanese would probably prefer more aggressively allowing Koreans and Chinese in small amounts today then large waves in 30 years when they desperately need the additional labor, or allow their country to become internationally irrelevant.

I wouldn't set myself up as a judge. How do you know what a reasonable time-frame is, or meaningful progress?

I'd report it and be done with it. Minimal drama and involvement. Alert the public as a very last resort, if the PCI folks are uninterested (and I guarantee you, they will be interested).
Shameless plug: In January I'll be focusing on a project which deals specifically with scientific software: http://sciencetoolbox.org/ This current version is a product of a hackathon, but this month will be improving it and adding functionality which brings the scientific software developer and her efforts into focus. Scientific software is gaining importance, but the recognition its developers get is trailing behind - I want to raise the level of associated recognition/prestige (among other related things). Some other projects rely on data collected here, e.g. a recommendation engine for said software that enhances GitHub: http://juretriglav.si/discovery-of-scientific-software/

Shameless plug continues: if you'd like to keep track of what I'm doing I suggest you either follow the project on GitHub (https://github.com/ScienceToolbox/sciencetoolbox) or Twitter (https://twitter.com/sciencetoolbox).

Somewhat tangential thoughts...

Being a devout Christian does seem quite dangerous career-wise today. I was going to conclude that being a devout Christian in the sciences today seems to "not really be much of a personal choice", but actually I think there is some room for it. There seems to be little freedom to avoid being a closet Christian if you are in biology and would like to not have to guess if you would have colleagues who support your work. On the other hand, astronomers and physicists seem to be friendlier to the devout Christians in their respective fields.

I would back up my claims with evidence other than my stated observations if HN software wasn't so opaque. And anyway, the burden of proof falls upon the party with the pertinent pattern of the acts which they are being accused of. HN often slowbans folks who don't toe the line (michaelochurch, larrys, rayiner (rayiner was rankbanned precisely because of disagreeing with pg on the immigration issue), etc., as well as manipulates ranking of comments to put YC-funded startups in a positive light. Considering all of this, I'm fine making the accusation, YC-staff has to defend this with solid evidence. Anyway, to be clear, I'm not accusing pg, or really anyone particular of doing anything -- I'm saying HN mods (whoever they may be) are behind this story falling off from #1 to not being on the frontpage in a matter of a minute.

Graduated in Digital Design but I'm really a Rails/ front-end developer with 7+ years of experience. I code taking in account aspects like: SEO, usability and other areas of User Experience.

I have built dozens of personal projects, from blogs to social networks, on events like Startup Weekend and hackathons that I have organized.

I'm looking to work as a Ruby/ Rails Developer in interesting projects.
Typing speed beyond an intermediate level will not improve your software development prowess. The more experience you gain, the less of your time developing will be spent hitting keys on the keyboard. If you're spending more than 10% of your time typing, you're probably not thinking enough.

The biggest bang-for-your-buck skill to learn as a software developer is delving one level below what you're working at and learning enough about how it works so that you can debug effectively. It will also expand your horizons so that you can see more possibilities than the next guy. Problem solving is the bread and butter of the software developer.
I can assure you here that it works on some drives but not others because the boot chain on Apple Silicon Macs is written from scratch, not using UEFI.

Bugs are being worked out slowly, and there's no reason to assume bad intentions here. (I have an Apple M1 MacBook Air, and it boots from a Samsung T7 external SSD just fine)

This is the first I've ever read about neural cellular automata, though I thought I was relatively up to date on both cellular automata and deep learning. I think I was able to pick up the broad strokes from context, but is there a good introductory resource for neural cellular automata?
This is great. It's understandable that Raspberry don't want users to have to fiddle around with apt sources just to install VSCode. Installing stuff on Linux is difficult enough as it is (remember this is supposed to be for beginners, not that it should be hard for pros either).
Woo. Thats incredible. Seriously!

You could always develop a small trailer-based solution that is aerodynamic and towed behind the car. Have them placed ahead of time on the route, and drive to each to swap out. Should be a relatively quick changeover (<60 seconds with practice).

Securities lending, OTC Swaps, and highly favorable margin rates (although the underlying economics of this are actually driven by the securites lending business)
Agreed. I've been using envelope budgeting since college and I simply can't fathom why most people don't do it. Actually, I can fathom it: it's because no one has been willing to keep this incredible feature in an easy-to-use product and support that product long enough for people to see the value.

In college I used gnucash for this and even wrote a (now very old and somewhat embarrassing) article about it (https://organicdesign.nz/A_day_in_the_life_of_a_dollar).

After I got a bit tired of gnucash's relatively baroque interface I moved over to https://www.mvelopes.com, but I found it expensive, slow, and just not to my taste (it might be better now, this was still over a decade ago).

Next, I noticed this newfangled site called Mint.com. I liked it right away and even had a phone conversation with its founder about the envelope budgeting idea. He said he really liked it and would look into it but then of course Mint got acquired by Intuit and we all know what Intuit does to creative product ideas. I still use Mint to track net worth and cash flow but every time I open it I sigh at what could have been.

Some years ago I heard about Simple and was incredibly excited that an actual BANK finally grokked what was so obviously awesome about this idea. I signed up right away and for a few months enjoyed budgeting bliss. But I knew it was likely to end in corporate takeover sadness and so I avoided moving my accounts to it. This is a decision I regretted having to make, and regret being right about.

Some years ago I got the bug again and spoke to some startups who were trying to democratize the "connect to your bank API" space, which would let folks like me just make a tool ourselves and maybe productize it without having to look for VC funding just to afford the stupid license fees for bank connectivity. I had a few good conversations but no one else seemed anywhere near as excited about it as I was.

Fast forward to today: I work at a FAANG company doing interesting stuff and have pretty much abandoned my dream of doing finances this way. I've tried gnucash again. I've tried spreadsheets. I've tried custom personal programs. None of them are really good.

You REALLY want your bank to do this.

What you want is to tie this to your debit and credit cards and have them all pool from the same "virtual subaccounts".

What you want is to be able to have your credit card be declined if you go over budget (with an option to override).

What you want is to create a tree of accounts in under a second using your smartphone without having to fill out forms.

But you won't get it, it seems.

Product idea: A bank. With a a nice API. That's it. I'll take my startup idea equity now.
Can I get a senator's passwords to Facebook and Twitter from a FOIA? no? Ok, what about a key logger on his/her staff computer?
There's a difference between survival and a middle class lifestyle. For those of us who have lived poor at some point, it's a point of privilege to have all of these luxuries.

Even so, if you look at the lifestyle of a single person on 35k a year, it's vastly superior to that of someone in the 1980s in many aspects, with health care and real estate as major exceptions.
I've read it, a long time ago. IIRC, there is competition among the very few breeders, but the non-breeding workers are in fact identical. The social cohesion parent was talking about happens among the workers.
Do a thought experiment: come up with a topic that is purely non-objective. Now observe that your topic is 100% bullshit.

I would like a shot at it. I have been discussing this with a lot of people. The question is:

"What exactly is reality?"

Now this may seem bullshit at first. "Come on reality is what we can see and prove", "reality is what is 'true'", "I know it is real when I see it". These are some of the very diverse answers that I get to such a question.

My personal take is, that we define something as real when a mass majority starts to believe in it. Everyone has his/her different take on if something is real or not. But for ages every body "knows" that something is real when an authority gauges what the masses believe and declares it "real". For example 1500 years back every body "knew" earth is the centre of the universe, why? Because the church said so. They also knew that earth was flat. why? Because the earth said so. We also "knew" that the electron is a particle, why? because some scientists said so or some of the experiments (which were then proven wrong) said so.

So tell me, why is it that something is real once and not after some time. So isn't reality a subjective thing? Now this may sound BullShit to you but makes sense to me.
"A site which requires real/verified names is automatically flagging itself as a potentially/probably unsafe space for women, or for anyone else at risk of harassment, violence, job discrimination, and the like."

Facebook seems to be doing fine with pseudo requiring real names. I haven't seen any data indicating that Facebook has increased the number of victims of violence.

I know it's not popular to think this way but statistically you're far more likely to be victimized by someone you know rather than random person from the internets. Most people who have the resources to fly across the country to victimize someone have better things to do with their life. However, I still worry about Jay and Silent Bob showing up at my door at any moment.

The problem is that guy gets beat up by forum poster is far more newsworthy than guy gets beat up at bar. And thus we optimize our risk profile around the uncommon.
As a father of a teen I concur. I'd also suggest that teenagers role models in the 20-30 year old age range all act like children (IMHO, see any TV show aimed at teens) and offer little or no inspiration to 'grow up'.

The older generation expect little of the younger generation and they live up to that. We seem to think we are doing them a favour by indulging them in an eternal prepubescent spending spree.
Every successful person has doubts about their own ability to execute and just keeps moving. Pretty soon you'll realize you are the best at what you do because you are focused on doing it well.
Interesting article, if a bit involved. Sheldon Brown (of course) has a calculator for gearing: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gears/.

Due to the terrain here, I have a 50/34 front (compact cranks) and 11-25 cassette., and a preferred cadence between 90-100 depending on the grade or lack thereof.
This article is a pure spin! This technology (or similar) is already in the processors today. But:

1) it has to be activated

2) it has to be paid for (subscription)

3) the laptop can be enabled again if you recover it from the thief

4) it is only in the Q or QM chipsets

Seriously, I'm all for being paranoid when it makes sense. But you already have to trust Intel if you buy a processor from them. And I believe the technology can implemented securely (unique RSA key pair for each processor?)

You're presuming an awful lot of things here.

* that one has a stable high-speed Internet connection.

* that one lives in a country where Pandora and other such services work.

* that the music one listens to can actually be found on Pandora and friends.

* for radio stations, that one likes or is ambivalent to not being in full control of the music one listens to.

* that one likes the web interface these services provide. I don't use a web interface for my e-mail, and I prefer foobar2000 for my music.

I have 40 GB of music (none of which is lossless, so there's a lot of it), a lot of which is relatively obscure (e.g. fewer than 500,000 plays for the artist on last.fm), and I don't see myself getting rid of any of it any time soon.
Don't ask me, I was being sarcastic. If I was to continue with that mode, I'd say "We need to close those too, what if a terrorist learned how to operate a screwdriver from a public book??".
Wow, it's actually called "PITI."
> If it were a for-profit enterprise, people would trust it much less

You'd be surprised to learn how many people have no idea wikipedia is non-profit. A lot have no idea that you can edit articles and just assume it's a regular encyclopedia written by paid people. I have witnessed people telling me this too many times, and yes, it's pretty depressing.

Unless you intend to strictly enforce types (rather than validity) on your dynamic code, there is no burden on the developer.

Now I am curious: what do you do? I do mostly server-side web stuff, but I have done embedded/driver and can see situations where you really need a 3-byte unsigned integer to stay a 3-byte unsigned integer. But, apart from that, I can't imagine other cases.
After reading the first example at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/indexes-intro.html, I'm a little confused.

I thought that operations using primary keys were always fast, that they were somehow always indexed.

I thought this would be fast:

SELECT content FROM test1 WHERE id = constant;

and this would be slow because it wasn't on a primary key:

SELECT content FROM test1 WHERE content = "xxx";

EDIT: this comment was supposing that 'id' was actually of type "serial primary key".
This is typical of a sales story I read from books. You were on a sales mission and it seems like:

1) You reached the wrong people. The focus of power in your case (CEO) was not the one making purchasing decisions (the HR guy)

2) You did not solve a pain in your prospect's business or, you could not sufficiently communicate what problem you would solve as an employee. You should have focused on this in your conversations.

I wouldn't say they used you, and you shouldn't be angry. It just did not make business sense for them and you could not make a sufficiently attractive sales pitch to the company as a whole.
How do you define the "nature of a social network?" Is it simply a place where one can connect digitally through a persistent profile? The social networks today are much more than that and heavily rely on algorithms to broadcast information. I think that is the main difference. We can have a social network that is much more static and probably less addicting, attractive, filled with ads, etc, if you skip the algorithmic feed. It may decrease the negative points you called out.
My childhood was a few decade after that, but peanut butter on toasted white bread and Velveeta (+ Rotel[1]) were pretty much stables of my youth.

Deleted FB, Insta and Snap a little over four years ago... It was revealing how many friends I actually had compared to how many I thought I had. Surprising as well how much I don't miss it.
(2 days later) The status site now shows %99.9 uptime for the quarter.
I think that you may be onto something there. I have noted that when I meet (many) ex-Amazon employees, a lot of them (especially on the business side) are not nice people to work with (backstabbing, destructive political games etc).

It's come to a point where I kinda assume that they are likely to screw me/other people if I don't know otherwise.

(Obviously this is a generalisation, I'm sure there are loads of really nice people at Amazon).
I think grouping server-side tracking with JavaScript based tracking is an oversimplification. JavaScript tracking is much more invasive and can access significantly more data. From something as straightforward as fingerprinting to potentially even more invasive data such as geo-location, battery status, webcam, microphone - you name it. Server access logs aren't going to track my eyes.

I think we can all agree there are different levels of acceptable tracking and use of that data- but the degrees of acceptance are going to be different depending on the user and service. I don't consider bypassing my restrictions to run unauthorized code to be an acceptable tracking method and raises serious concerns about how the data will then be used.
I have been a tech interviewer for a decade, and this is spot on. The entire reason FizzBuzz-style questions are popular in screening interviews is that most people fail them.
My question would be, what's a real alternative to practice making perfect, done in the way that best respects the person being asked out and their physical integrity?

"Not doing anything at all" seems unrealistic, in a world where males are essentialized as the pursuers and women as the pursued, an unfortunate but for now real state of affairs.

"Simply will yourself to normalcy!" is almost offensive to me, since it simultaneously ignores the lived experience of the person feeling it and puts moral censure on the addressee--if there's some issue X in your life, it's entirely your fault. It's like telling someone that the only reason they aren't financially successful is that they're lazy.

I'm all ears, seriously, especially after the Scott Aaronson/Alexander debacle a couple weeks ago. It seems like a real issue in our society.
I started listening to vinyl a few years ago and bought some albums I've listened to dozens (if not hundreds of times) on digital. Horn sections I didn't even know existed showed up on tracks; instruments were so crisp and distinct it was like I could go to a part of my room and grab the sound out of the air. The effect is less jarring for stuff I haven't been able to acclimate to over such a long period of time, but it's definitely better, and it's because there is more fidelity.
Just keep an ear out for someone who can do something about it. A lot of good projects happen when a few people come together with similar ideas in their back pockets.
Yeah, we're working on simplifying the new playlist creation process. Thanks for the nice comments.
