Yes, it is so important to separate research and teaching, they are completely and utterly different in approach, skills, personality and philosophy.

A teacher should be primarily reading research in teaching, with research in the domain as a secondary hobby. Spending an hour filling 15 rolling blackboards with chalk squiggles has long outlived its usefulness and effectiveness.

As a rare example of an inspired researcher and pragmatic theorist of teaching for physics, I would name David Hestenes.
No, an item sold across the 'net is still being sold to Australia, and beholden to the Consumer Rights.

However, you're pretty much guaranteed to get nowhere unless the company, or a subsidiary, resides within Australia.

But, if in doubt, report to the ACCC, they handle the legal legwork for you, even to see if you have a case.

EDIT: I've had a few Arduinos from dealxtreme be shoddy. The ACCC got them to send replacements.
A lot of people are unhappy with Windows 10 and would love to switch.

Now if Linux only wants to be a server OS then that is fine but if it wants to try and grow then it does need either AMD or Nvidia. I think that for now Nvidia will continue to do what they have always done(binary blob) but if AMD gains market share by being more open then Nvidia will respond in turn.

Reddit CEO should resign for editing content
A large not-going-name-it software package for modeling steel and concrete structures creates alone over 100M a year. It hardly dominates the market so depending on how the market is segmented a good estimate is probably any number between 1 and 10 times this.

Single seat licences are not the only revenue model. Once a product gains traction consulting, training and providing VIP helpdesk and bugfixing services factor in as well.
Similarly: birds and old CRTs and fluorescent lights (they are much more sensitive to the flickering than we are)
I am not a user of Imzy, so I don't know how they choose to censor, but I don't see how censorship necessarily means living in a bubble.

Take a look at Reddit, where the /r/The_Donald, is just spam, shitposting and fake rumors, nothing to learn.
On the other hand, there are subs like /r/AskThe_Donald/ which are very interesting.

IMHO banning communities like /r/The_Donald while encouraging the ones similar like /r/AskThe_Donald, would create a much better place, where you don't live in a bubble, without having to deal with people that just want to spam, shitpost and "trigger".
> As it turns out, you could probably have gotten a job as a programmer then if you could turn a computer on by yourself.

My first programming job was with an obscure, outdated platform & language. They pretty much did hire anyone who could turn a computer on and sent them to a two-week training course before they started client work. One of the guys on my team owned a small limo company and wanted something to supplement his income during the day, so there he was.
I don't get it. What do the numbers mean? Why do some increase every second and some stay constant? What do the symbols (crown, buildings) mean?

It looks pretty cool but I don't have the time to figure out the rules by trial and error.
Why dont they call it what it is? A safe space for the left. Looking at the official "politics" section is just liberal-based editorials: https://www.imzy.com/politics

I lean left on the political spectrum for most things, but I cant help but think all this "safe space" stuff is what pushed the country into electing trump in the first place- It makes america look and feel weak.

Also, the site is ungodly slow and super difficult to navigate.

Just read the linked post in full and that's an awfully reductive comment on the experiences he describes there. I suggest taking a more intellectually honest look at that writing (not to defend any of his other writing or views, which I haven't read).
To me, it does. Free speech is an upper bound on human expression - anything less than absolute is something less than "free."

I'm not advocating for this - sites should police certain illegal and immoral activities. Doing so is clearly in the benefit of society and the quality of any online community. But accepting this is subjugating free speech for the sake of cultural norms and legal necessity.
Why is it a safe space? Trolling is completely different than challenging ideas. A lot of reddit is a complete waste of time. People want to be "clever" and have a yuck. There's a lot of noise.
I'll second this. Dell sent a contractor to my home on Thanksgiving day to replace a laptop screen on my kitchen table.
It took under an hour to replace.
I've never seen that level of service from any other company, period.
Definitely.

I did some fixed price work this summer for a project where I thought the scope was unusually well understood by both sides. About 3 months, 60k USD if done by a fixed deadline (yes - fixed scope, fixed price, fixed deadline!) and as far as I was concerned from the original spec I had it done within about 6 weeks.

Of course, I spent the rest of the project time politely asking the customer to sign it off and doing the odd freebie to try and keep them happy but mostly at home, not working and not wanting to take anything else on in case they turned round and said I'd screwed up somewhere massively.

Perhaps unrelated, but I still haven't been paid for all of it either. Still, if I do eventually get paid it all it will have worked out better than charging per hour.
I can name maybe a dozen that do all that foobar2000 does

Do it.

Be sure to show how the mass tagger works in each one of them. Especially the pattern matching to extract data from filenames, I really like that feature.
really? I own the QC30s and I had non idea that was not the best for noise cancelling. why would they design it to b be less effective than the other models?
I don't understand how commenters generalize about Reddit: the is no Reddit, only subreddits - each of which is moderated in a different way. I moderate /r/Africa we deal with speech mercilessly. /r/askScience or /r/askHistorians have even stricter policies. On the other hand, there are subreddits which are most definitely hateful... But I never go there. In the middle, I'm still subscribed to /r/Europe which is a battleground... I won't give it up and I do not see how any amount of moderation could make it better: politics are all about conflicting ideas !
Free speech is designed to protect potitically important edge cases not optimized for your entertainment or consumption. Thats not to say it cant be, this site for example seems to work out pretty well due to the carefully designed comment economy and fair moderation system.
Wonder what the odds are a phone review blogger receives a defective flagship device.
And yet AMD releases far more of it's specification for its chipsets than Nvidia does (which releases next to none). This is the reason that the AMD open source drivers are within 10~20% of performance of the closed source drivers on a number of chipsets (not all) whereas on Nvidia chipsets the open source driver is often just to boot a system and get X running enough to install the closed source driver.
/r/programming is quite excellent much of the time. Reddit generally doesn't have a technical slant, but there are many great subs which do.
>Why dont they call it what it is? A safe space for the left.

But they did: "It's like reddit"
reddit is not one place. Each subreddit has its own moderation policy. Stolen naked pictures and overt abuse are one thing, but it is common in other subreddits (e.g. /r/europe) for posts or comments to be blocked just because they are critical of immigration. The mods might deny that, but it happens, because there are lots of mods, and people who donate a large amount of their free time to moderating a web forum are often not that bright or tolerant.
1) I desperately want to call b/s on this, but guess that it's possible. Seriously, power cords are on the shelf in every Apple Store I've been too (over thirty, at this point, including a half dozen international stores). Using the Store app on your phone you can checkout without a human involved. Most don't know this I agree, but there is no way I'd wait that long if it were me. I'd be in someone's face in under a half an hour saying "either take my money or I'm walking out".

2) I've run into this before (with iPads rather than MBP), so I know you're likely factual here. The business sales person said if I'd ordered from him, wouldn't have been an issue, but consumer orders live by consumer rules. He did at least tell me that it was two per person, not two per order, so I called my friend who lived near Valley Faire Mall at the time and had him bring four of his kids. Yes, it was stupid, but myself, him, and each of the four kids walked out with two iPads each in our arms.

3) pro-tip: check out Apple VPP. Very easy to sign up for and trust me, it's everything you need and more to make this a smooth process to handle.
Honestly, the best solution right now is probably just to find good subreddits. Or whatever blogs/forums there are out there for your interests. And although I can't really say I give a damn about tech/coding/etc. until I have to use it; I have yet to find more enlightening, balanced discussions of politicized issues than what is on HN.
Neat! I'd love to read more about it.
It sounds like a fair amount of statements directly made by Trump on the campaign trail (mocking a disabled person, telling people to check out the "sex tape" of a former Miss universe he didn't like, many other statements) would themselves not be allowed on this site, so it's not surprising it would be naturally anti-Trump. I highly doubt it would have any such attitudes towards people like Jeb Bush or Rand Paul who are decidedly not liberal.
Yes the moderation team here does an excellent job balancing both sides of the challenge vs. offend dichotomy.
I mean, those sites are insecure. Google has a responsibility to the user of the browser, not the site owner. If you want people to trust your site, you have to provide them the security to do so.
That's a neat way of putting it (at least broadly) in the first four pargaraphs. Thanks.

I'd add that the event horizon is the boundary below which the propagators of causality can only move further below the horizon itself.

The "unimaginably weird sub-quantum" part doesn't follow from those paragraphs, though, in the region outside the event horizon, or even a little ways inside. It is however a fair way of describing the problem of the singularity; the goal of nearly all quantum gravity research programmes is keeping the singularity from ever existing, and "weird microscopic behaviour" is a reasonable way of describing what that may entail.

I made some comments relevant to your last paragraph elsewhere in this discussion.
That's what safe spaces are defined as in the dictionary, but it's not what they are in practise though. In practise it's often a system of oppressing dissenting opinions and voluntary segregation.
Why should it be accessible specifically to the demographic known as "trolls"? Trolls push other demographics out, so they make their own spaces (imzy) and are then criticized for not allowing trolls?
Brilliant! So now we're posting Amazon links as news stories
Likely because buying the rights to broadcast sports is expensive, free-associating talking heads are cheap, and subscriber revenue is down.

It's a vicious cycle.

I'm sure they are well aware that they're behind on the transition to streaming but are stuck with long term existing contracts that don't give them the rights they need.

The leagues want to go direct when they go streaming. Why would they need ESPN as an aggregator?

It's not like Netflix or HBO where you turn it on to browse, you're there to watch a specific game.

They're really screwed.
I think it can be easy to differentiate name calling and trolling from actual discourse. I say this, based on past participation in a local political forum that did allow a wide variety of viewpoints... including viewpoints that were banned on the forum that spawned us.

It seems to me that many sites who have censored particular viewpoints point to hate speech and trolling inappropriately. It also seems like people here do not have high expectations for Imzy, in this way.

I have more or less given up on online political forums, and these issues seem to come up less for hobby/tech topics.

First of all, my interpretation of Lewis' essay is very different from what you're implying: money, power, and material things are tangential to his point. The rings are a form of social interaction, that in itself motivates you to "do very bad things". Your desire to form part of the elite-like group is what coerces you, not your desire for potential rewards. So monopoly money is more than enough to create such a situation, and I'd even say that's one of the main points of the text.

That being said, I don't think that dreams of higher rings motivate participation here. Some, perhaps. But most comments I see, even those I don't like, appear to be driven by curiosity, shared interests, and simple desire to express one's generally incorrect opinion. There is definitely a rampant sense of smug elitism, but that's more of a dead end than the entrance to a rabbit hole.
I don't get it - was expecting something like Command & Conquer.
> People talk about free speech like it's some goal, but in reality all people seem to do with it is make fun of fat people and post stolen naked pictures of celebrities.

All people do in reality ... if for some reason you choose to disregard the huge number of fairly autonomous communities on Reddit?

If I used that ultra-broad brush for HN, I'd say that all commenters here seem to do is post links to xkcd 927 and the wiki page for ad-hom.
Aren't they officially backing away from fiber?
It would be interesting to study at what user size trolling and offending interactions take root. My take is there is a moderator/user ratio which at some point slants in favor of trolls. Once the slide toward disrespect and instigation begins it's very hard to correct.
This story got flagged off the front page of HN. Strange?
Perhaps luck of the draw? I just signed up and saw two anti-Trump communities. The rest were just random groups.
The API calls point to https://api.infermedica.com/v2/diagnosis which is currently yielding a 403 Forbidden on every query. It looks like https://symptomate.com/diagnosis/ uses the same API and is currently functional, for what it's worth. (I certainly have no affiliation and would not endorse any of these tools.)

For what it's worth, I tried a query about chest pain lasting 5 minutes and associated with diaphoresis but without radiation down the left arm, and it offered "unknown diagnosis."
There is an interesting article in the NY Times today looking at how the #PizzaGate fake news story developed [1]. It was quite surprising to me how flimsy the "evidence" was, yet it convinced a lot of people. I had assumed that the people making this thing up had put some effort into making it believable, but no. I am at a loss now to understand how anyone could have believed that anything was going on at that pizza place.

This has serious implications. I don't think that people re going to limit their inability to recognize such fake things to stories about politicians they dislike. They will fall for equally ridiculous stories about medicine nd science. That is very bad.

There was a time when Reddit did not have subreddits (or even the ability to comment). During this time, Reddit's community was very much like HN is currently. It was mostly techy people who found Digg was getting a little too "low brow". It may not have been explicitly tech focused, but it may as well have been.
Why use MP3 tags anyway? I don't understand, they're so burdensome to manage. I just do:

./Artist/Year - Album/Track - Title.mp3

It'll work with any music player and you can organize it even on a toaster, as long as it has coreutils. I use plain old mplayer to listen to music, just cd into the directory I want and call a script I made which is basically a glorified `find | xargs mplayer` (actually outputs the filenames to a playlist and makes mplayer read from it in slave mode so I can control it with keyboard shortcuts - from other workspaces, etc).
On the other hand if the troll problem is bad enough it's going to stop non-trolls from commenting. So you either censor the content that doesn't add to the discussion or you lose the discussion as people self-censor/decide it's not worth it posting.
Quod Libet/Ex Falso have pattern matching for tags: https://quodlibet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/editing_tag...
How is preventing racism and slurs a thought crime policing? You're free to think all the dehumanizations of all the demographics you like. Many sites are available for you to even express them. You just are not allowed to do it at imzy. No different than say, not shouting slurs at black people in a cafe. That's not a thought crime issue, that's a "stop pushing out demographics out" issue.
I have very strange political views and I sit someplace outside of the left-right specturm. From this perspective I can pretty safely say that Reddit and HN are two of the most politically diverse sites on the internet. Their main goal isn't politics so they've attracted a diverse crowd. It is because of this that neither viewpoint is favored due to the high distrobution of political viewpoints.

Reddit is the only place you can go to see people praise Ron Paul one year, Bernie the next, then Trump right after that.

To call reddit or hacker new homogeneous is insane.
Thing is, google has enough customers and makes enough money they probably don't need to do something about it. It frustrates the hell out of me, but that's sadly how it is.

What about the rights of the person wronged by someone else to remember, and to tell their story?

Someone who committed a sexual assault, for example, might have served their time and feel like they have changed and deserve a new start. They might want the record of their assault expunged from the Internet.

What about the victim, though? Are they not allowed to keep telling their story, and to tell people who assaulted them? Are they not allowed to warn someone that the person they are dating has assaulted someone in the past? Does the new dating partner not have a right to be warned that their new fling has assaulted people in the past?

I don't think their is a way to enforce the right to be forgotten while preserving the right to tell your story to whomever you please.

If you do something bad that you wish would be forgotten, it isn't up to you to decide when other people have to forgive you and move on. It is the other people's rights to remember as long as they want.

You say you should try to imagine what it would be like to do the hard work to right your wrongs, but you also need to imagine what it would be like to be wronged and then be told that the person who wronged you has the right not to have the wrong known.

Unlike Python, Fortran hasn't seen an increase in usage and hasn't brought the joy(?) of programming to thousands of new programmers in the last 10 years. So sticking to Fortran or backwards compatibility blindly doesn't solve all the problems, either.

Maintenance is key. Most people don't stick around for 20 years anymore either. I know I'm going to have an easier time finding a new hire for a Python codebase. And he's going to have a far better chance at understanding said codebase. Code which nobody knows how to maintain will hurt us either with a fiendish bug, or limit out growth. So for me, slowly moving away from legacy stuff is good business value in the long run.

Remember, you can never be sure that Fortran code is 100% bug free. The test of time is as good as any other test, but not perfect.
> Btw, you can also just use !w for Wikipedia.

Yeah, but there is one caveat; !w will send you to the Wikipedia language matching the region DuckDuckGo is currently set at. So if you just did a search with the regional limiter set to The Netherlands, !w will send you to the Dutch Wikipedia. This is not usually what you would want for non-regional information. Without the region set it does take you to the English Wikipedia.

!wen is always the English Wikipedia.

"but in fact had never taken the plastic “screen protector” off of the display when I received the device"

Notwithstanding the awful condescending tone from the CS rep, I once did actually have this issue.

I purchased a cheap smart phone for an around the world trip since my CDMA/Sprint phone would not work overseas. I knew that the camera would not be iphone quality, but I felt that the images (8MP) could have been better. A couple of weeks into my trip, I discovered the thin plastic protector on the lens. Images were much better after it was removed!
At least when you talk about reviewing code that "someone wrote in a month", note that a quick `rm -rf .git; git init; git add *; git commit` works wonders for others' perception of how quickly you can produce code. :)
Oh, but it does. You won't find it on popular general subs like /r/technology, but there are really dedicated subs for everything, if not more, that you would want to find.
Yeah, this. I bought a Herman Miller chair from a company that ceased to exist not long afterwards and, several years later, Herman Miller still cheerfully sent me a replacement armrest when I phoned up to say I'd managed to damage it whilst moving office. I was deeply impressed.

I understand that Barbour, the wax jacket company, are fairly incredible when it comes to customer service too. (Nothing has ever gone wrong with my jacket so I've yet to put this to the test.)
All those people participated in breaking the laws they saw as unjust. From Underground Railroad in the 19th century to sitting in white-only sections in the 20th. People hiding Jews from Nazis were actively breaking the law. The founders of the United States broke the British law. Edward Snowden broke the law. Nelson Mandela broke the law. Mahatma Ghandi broke the law. The list goes on and on.

Exactly. Which should be a huge hint to get yourself off of google services and thereby stop paying them. Like all big corps. their feedback loop consists of:

customer continues to pay -> everything must be ok
