>I don't see how the exact structure could be important. No matter what it exactly looks like you would probably introduce a preferred reference frame, the frame in which the space quanta are at rest. Or looking at it the other way round, you would observe different lengths when you measure those space quanta from different reference frames no matter what the exact structure is but that contradicts the assumption that they are fundamental and have observer independent properties.

Well, you can make a Lorentz invariant theory of an ideal gas, this gives you what's called a relativistic fluid. This can be formulated in a completely Lorentz invariant way, meaning that things like the temperature and the average speed of the particles will be the same for every observer. This also implies that the average distance between particles will be the same for all observers. Which combined with the average speed, will give you a characteristic time.

So supposing you simply freeze a relativistic fluid in place you'll get an amorphous solid with a characteristic length scale and characteristic time scale. Which are both Lorentz invariant.

>Quantum physics and special relativity fit nicely together, the standard model and its parts are relativistic quantum field theories. The problems arise when one tries to combine general relativity and quantum physics. When someone says quantum physics and relativity are incompatible he pretty surly means general relativity not special relativity.

I was talking about general relativity; quantum field theories almost always use special relativity, it's trivial to combine those two. But it is even possible to extend (classical) Yang-Mills field theory from special to general relativity in a very natural way. But for some reason it's very difficult to 'quantize' the resulting field theory.
> Moral of the story: make babies outside of your own ethnic group.

That is absolutely the wrong conclusion to make from the source. The suggestion of the source is that if two people prone to systemized-thinking mate (regardless of ethnicity), then the likelihood of autism is higher.

Your conclusion only makes sense if you believe certain ethnicities are more systemized than others. Thus, if you are from a systemized ethnicity, you should seek to mate outside your race. I don't think that is your intent. My inference is that your intent was to take this research and form some moral lesson out of it that fits your world view, or a world view that is fashionable.

That's not the reason why Uber is getting moderately popular in São Paulo. We have a few great taxi calling apps and here the taxi service is fairly good and reliable (unlike Rio de Janeiro, where taxi service is hell, dishonest, rude and unreliable - there, Uber is a god sent gift).

Here in SP people use it only because of the price (about 30% cheaper than taxi). Uber Black was here for some time and no one never noticed. Only when they came with cheap UberX that people started using.

But taxi lobby fought back hard and Uber is oficially forbidden here until further regulation (unoficially still running though).

Anyway, just to share that here in SP is mostly a price competition. Not much else.

EDIT: Just for curiosity, the two bigger taxi apps in SP

I've switched to two meals a day with approximately 11hrs in between for about 1 year now. I also noticed a much higher sensitivity to insulin: If I eat sugary snacks now I experience a much bigger drop in blood sugar levels. I get really tired about 1.5 hrs after eating three cookies. Interestingly it only lasts only for about 30 minutes and I'm back to normal. I can only imagine what would have happened to people from 200 years ago if they were exposed to our sugar levels...
I have found it very interesting to inspect the redlining maps from this era -- many of the divisions they reflected and enforced up to the 1960s-1970s are still loosely in place today, right down to the "that's the wrong side of the street" level.

Further to your point, another practice that re-distributed whites to the suburbs, to the benefit of shady property developers, is blockbusting. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockbusting) It also had nothing to do with green lawns and everything to do with racism.
Well, I didn't say they should get underpaid though, everybody should be able to live a good life imo.

Yes, but moving a tag is very bad. A tag is meant to be an immutable pointer into a repo.

If you create a php-7.0.0 tag, and you find a bad bug, then make a new tag, either php-7.0.1, or since you might still want to call the release PHP 7.0.0, maybe name it php-7.0.0-bugfix1 or something.
> Approximately 48 hours later, the Card Network (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx etc) will group together all the payments from a given time period and send them to the Card Issuer as a batch “Presentment” file. There might be thousands of payments in this file. At this point, the Card Issuer will debit the money from each of its customers’ accounts according to the Presentment file and make a bulk payment to the Card Network for the entire Presentment amount. In turn, the Card Network will divide up the funds and distribute the money back to the appropriate Card Acquirers, who will distribute it to their merchants in turn.

As someone who has cards that settle after ~48 hours and cards that reflect the state of transactions immediately I can clearly state that I heavily prefer the former. The reason for this is that many transactions are not that simple and you end up with a ton of spam on your statements.

I like what Lloyds does where it shows transactions not fully settled yet in a separate section in the panel.

Unless and until we can recommend things that aren't available via netflix, this invention remains another crowdsourced, yet ironically still proprietary, commercial product. Nexflix already had my viewing habits, my daily routine, and my money. They shouldn't need my help too.

Netflix needs/wants in-house recommendations because any external recommendation service risks drawing attention to their limited offerings. Netflix has around 20,000 titles for Americans, closer to 6000 it seems for canadians. That's only slightly better than a well-stocked blockbuster video. Nearly every old show recommended to me by friends, by actual flesh-and-blood people, isn't there.

Also, What happens to recommendations once the shows they recommend are dropped from the netflix lineup?
>Mobile first is a basic requirement in developing countries.

When you say "mobile first is a basic requirement" you're thinking about a specific context of software intended for the general population of people in those countries.

However, with projects like HospitalRun, the general population is not the audience, Hospital staff and administrators are, and even in developing countries they still primarily use laptops and tablets at the Hospital.

One of the ways they try to gain support among Muslims, is by ensuring that Muslims feel hated and excluded by us. They want to convince them that there's no future in moderate Islam, they want all Muslims to believe this is an existential battle for them.

So if we exclude Muslims, send refugees back, discriminate, harass and bomb them, we are making ISIS correct in that claim. What we should be doing, is demonstrating that there is a future in moderate Islam. That we accept them as equals, rather than treat them as subhuman.

How long of an event horizon are you looking for?

Additionally, the low-income individuals will have access to Uber for self-driving cars. [iUber] Better advocacy would be spent finding out how Uber will get low-income individuals without a smartphone access to it.

1. Cash for Clunkers destroyed vehicles that would have gone to lower-income individuals and upset the used vehicle market driving prices up to new vehicle prices.

2. Assuming a 2020 release date, and following a similar curve of ABS brake adoption of ten years, then by 2030 low-income individuals will start to have access to self-driving vehicles. Maybe earlier as the software rolls out or at-home implementations of the technology can be adapted.

The lie they are selling is that anyone can learn to code in 10 weeks. While this maybe true if you are targeting the correct subset of the population (those who do have a natural aptitude), it's not true of a random sample of the entire population. Since these schools sample from the entire population, their chances of producing large numbers of skilled software developers are low, and therefore they will do little to help with the shortages of those developers.

Sounds like a reasonable argument to me.

Raising the retirement age just seems like one more way in which the Silents and Boomers have pulled up the ladders behind themselves, reneging upon their social contracts after already benefiting from them.

If anything, with the advancement of technology, we should be lowering the retirement age. The Earth just doesn't need sexagenarians to be working, but it doesn't need them to exit the workforce, either.

When you raise the state pension age, you aren't affecting those with enough personal savings to retire earlier. You are only affecting those who could not stop working at that age without additional financial support of the state. So poor people with lower-paying jobs get to face down the possibility that they may eventually be fired after their first day of not being alive enough to come in to work. Great for morale, I'm sure.~

People with enough money will still be retiring at 50 or 60, or whenever they think they have enough to count down their death clock to zero and still have a little left over.

It seems a lot like micromanager Lumbergh from Office Space saying, "Yeah, we're running a little behind on the ol' pension plan here, so I'm gonna need you to come in when you're 65... and 66 too. So if you could go ahead and do that, it would be great. Mmmkay?" And then he retires at 55, while you're stuck filling out TPS report cover sheets.

If I make it to 65, and still can't afford to retire, I'm going to burn the seniors village down. You bastards shouldn't have taken my stapler.~

> Why would people want to work longer? As much as I enjoy technology, working is the least pleasant part of my life.

I think modern industrial civilization encourages a sort of compartmentalization of roles and terms that isn't actually real. Certainly, for many people, their job is not a pleasant part of their life. From that angle, sure, no one wants to keep doing that until the day they die.

But that doesn't mean the alternative—pure idle leisure—is that great either. Doing nothing sounds awesome when you're burnt out, but after a week or two of it, most people will start chewing on the wallpaper.

This dichotomy that "everything that you do for money is unpleasant and unsatisfying" and "everything that is recreational is easy and unchallenging" is false. There is a whole spectrum of difficulty, reward, and monetary compensation and jobs, hobbies, recreations and pastimes occupy all sorts of points on it.

For most people, they want to spend a good portion of their time doing things that are rewarding, and not necessarily easy. Being retired just means you can optimize for personal satisfaction without having to also optimize for monetary gain.

If I could retire today, sure, I'd get a bit more sleep. But I'd also hack more open source code, write more books, and volunteer. Those are difficult things (especially that middle one). Does that make them "work"? In the sense of "working on the book", "my life's work", etc. yes. But is it "work" in the sense of "thing I'd only do for money"? Certainly not.

The most popular theory is that Sasquatch is a remnant population of Gigantopithicus, a Sasquatch-like hominid for which fossil evidence has been found in Asia. The Gigantos probably came over to North America from Asia on the Bering land bridge along with modern humans. In order to avoid competition with humans, they likely became nocturnal and avoided humans by living in high mountains, deep forest, and swamps. I live in Washington state and I can tell you that you can drive for hours looking at a horizon of trees and not see evidence of human habitation.

You can go to BFRO.net and read for yourself the thousands of eyewitness sightings by park rangers, law enforcement, military, biologists, and others of Sasquatch. They also have photos, videos, and an FAQ that deals with a lot of the common questions like why no body has been found. This is a perfect topic for Hacker News since mainstream science is not interested in an unclassified species, so individuals (hackers) have taken it upon themselves to do the science with the means they have available.
