> That's only one data point, but it certainly seemed to me that no one was relying on N-S as an accurate predictor of motion

You're confusing how models are used by (some) engineers (in some applications) with how models are used by physicists and mathematicians. Engineers have to deal with all kinds of uncertainties, from matetial parameters to use cases to limit states to wear and fatigue and geometrical deviations etc etc etc. Therefore, engineers develop robust designs to comply with all design requirements under any plausible and probable scenario given a design life. To accomplish this, engineers use models to provide approximate but accurate results that are on the safe side of any limit state. Yet, eventhough designs need to be robust, simulations do need to be accurate.

These findings suggest that low-resolutoon Navier-Stokes simulations that were believed to be on the safe side may actually not be on the safe side. These finding are important, as they will illicit significant changes on how Navier-Stokes simulations are used in cases where accuracy matters.

I would say during the 16 hours I'm awake, it's mixed between standing with a little bit of movement (75%), walking / running (10%) and sitting (15%). This has been going on for about 2 years.

You can put together a custom standing desk for about $50 nowadays and a $35ish chair is all you need to comfortably sit in an ergonomic way with your standing desk when you want to take a break (no complicated adjustable desk needed, just a standard 29" comfortable stool with a back).

I really like this set up and highly recommend it.
haha, ebay's bugs are showing. Every link in that listing makes it look like the product is "Dodge Vans, 1989-98 von Chilton Automotive Books, The Nichols/Chilton und Chilton (1998, Taschenbuch)"
Yeah, all of that's fair. I would do the same as you, but my old one was on its last legs. In the end, I spent $150 on adapters and have been good to go on my personal setup since, traveling and at home. I'm sure this is a lot bigger nightmare at work.

To me in daily life, everything seems fine sans USB-C and touch bar. It's a one-time price hassle that sucks but in the end doesn't end the world. I travel with one adapter that has USB's, HDMI, and a USB-C on it and have yet to run into any issues with it. I wish Apple actually made decent hubs that didn't cost a small fortune, and I do hope they get their shit together next model as well.

I just think that the sky isn't falling. You said it was worse in quite a few ways, but I think it's really just 1-2 big ones that can be fixed.

> We had to buy a ton of new monitors at work because most of our existing ones wouldn't work or didn't work well, even with adapters.

The biggest issue is the adapter market is absolute shit. I got lucky with two good ones.

I've said this before on HN, but we really need to get away from the idea that distribution is hard. Distribution is basically a Solved Problem. We don't need gatekeepers telling people what they are and aren't allowed to consume.

What we do need is better economic models that allow the creators to get paid. People are clearly willing to pay for content, but I don't know of anyone who wants studios/companies/lawyers/etc to get the money rather than the artists themselves. This old world way of thinking about content funding really needs to die off already.

"This guy expects a market loss of about -65%"

Which is very possible. Or how did Mandelbrot say? "speculating on the stock market is riskier than you think"

The current highs are only possible because interest is so low and people leverage. A 2% return is no problem. Leverage times 3 and you have a decent 6%. But what happens, if interest rates rise and you get margin calls? Your have to sell. Wait, the others have to sell too....

"He also expects negative total returns over the next 12 years."

Past performances are no guarantee for future performances works both ways.

Not necessarily. Timing is tricky. The market can stay longer irrational as you can stay liquid.

One of the big things people were mentioning here was having all the content under one roof. This is something the torrent space is great at, since they simply ignore ownership.

Of course, getting the content for free (or for the cost of one member purchasing or renting it a single time) doesn't hurt selection either.

Even the specific stuff mentioned here about subtitles is affected by the law: translations are derivative works.
This means as an applicant, if you ask for a salary range, you're creating a legal compulsion on them to give you one. This is an act of aggression and immoral. First you should ask if they would have been willing to give a salary range if asked and if it wasn't legally required. Then, only if they say yes, is it moral to ask for the salary range.
Apply some game theory thinking here: companies will now have to lead with an honest offer -- an offer that correctly values the candidates skills and experience -- because that's their best option. They don't have an anchor and getting it wrong means the candidate walks away.

If anything this will be more fair for those who can't or don't want to negotiate.

I wonder if you meant to post "There's an argument you need math, because math is logic.", which is tangentially true, but that's not the point i'm making.

> There's an argument that you need math to explain it because it is math

* More specifically, it's a mathematical idea, so, in order to explain it, it would be impossible not to use other mathematical ideas. These other ideas exist throughout the article and are [incorrectly] separated from what the average person thinks when they hear "math" but it's math, nonetheless. For instance, the many graphs throughout the article should be recognized as math.

> Now I get that this is hard to see in the middle of the US, but 7.1 billion people don't have freedom of speech (roughly) and 300 million do. The thing is, those 7.1 billion mostly don't want it.

Yes, as one of those poor 7.1 billion, I can barely contain my envy. Now let's have a look at the ranking of the US in, say, the World Press Freedom Index of 2017 (https://rsf.org/en/ranking). Could you please explain why the US, being (supposedly) the only country in the world that has freedom of speech, hasn't even made it in the top 40 of that ranking?

I don't see this obsession with America-style "freedom of speech". Sure, you can't go out in the streets and yell that you think that '<minority> are subhuman scum that deserve to be rounded up and transported to extermination camps' in most places (although I imagine that won't make you very popular in the US either, even if would technically be legal), but if you live in the nicer parts of, say, Europe, you won't go bankrupt when you need a hospital, you won't be living in a country with one of the highest incarceration rates in the world, you don't have a two-party system, your vote isn't worth more or less depending on where you live, etc. Also what's this "free speech zone" thing?

Freedom of speech isn't black and white, there are many shades of gray. If everybody feels they can speak their mind except for some people advocating genocide... well suffice to say I won't be joining Evelyn Hall in her fight to the death.

Apple only charges $199 for a new battery for the MBP's not having user-replaceable batteries. Which sounds horrible until you realize a new battery for the old MacBooks was $129 (I've replaced a couple). So really, you're just paying an extra $70 and you're only going to need to do it once over the lifetime of your system, which should be 8-10 years. Not bad.
There are two things that are critically incorrect about your argument:

1) That market success implies having quality software. Average seems to be enough in my experience.

2) That start-ups are a good example to follow if one wants to achieve good quality. In fact they should be ignored, because they will absolutely murder quality in order to stay alive. Sometimes the product doesn't even work and is held together with duct tape in order to get past that important demo... It's quite pointless to discuss quality and start-ups.

The lesson I mentioned should be heeded by mature companies that are able to do some project planning, complexity estimation, etc.
I understand him perfectly, what I'm saying is what he's proposing is useless, because you can mold your email and password into anything that you know for certain it will pass validation, that's your oracle right there. During sign up, if you know both the formatting rules of what you typed as the email and the password cannot have caused an error, then it follows any error message (500 errors notwithstanding) must be a duplicate email. Because that's typically the only constraint difference exists between an email and a password.

Given that, who cares what error message you display, as an attacker I only need to be able to find out weather a system has an email or not, and the sign up screen is a perfect oracle.

No you haven't and that's the amazing part. You have spent hundreds of words contending a position that I never posited in the firs place. I have repeatedly states it wasn't about partisan politics but it was an issue with a system that increasingly only works for moneyed interests. It doesn't matter whether that money is from the left or for the right.

Yet for all of your talk about understanding and respect and toleration you have chosen to completely ignore my original and repeated premise. The irony is incredible.

> but a case where multiple different outcomes can arise from identical inputs.

If they are identical but not equal and these small differences in the input lead to large deviations in the output then that's pretty much the definition of a chaotic system.

Edit: I've just browsed through the paper in question and it actually demonstrates thar an approximate (weak) solution is not unique, which means that the exact same inputs in may have multiple weak form solutions.

How big is this bar? Time bring out the quadratic equation.

If the average net worth of a US citizen is $100,000 (it's less, but I'll go with that), and Gates has a net worth of $90 billion, and the average net worth of those people goes up $1M:

average worth = aw = 100000
n people
total worth = aw * n
Bill Gates comes in:
total worth' = aw * n + 90000000000
aw' = (aw * n + 90000000000)/(n+1)
difference = aw' - aw
= (aw * n + 90000000000)/(n+1) - aw * n = 1000000
= (100000 * n + 90000000000)/(n+1) - (100000 * n) = 1000000
=> n ≈ 944 people in the bar

https://www.thebalance.com/american-net-worth-by-state-metro... says the average net worth is $68,828 in 2011, which implies about 1,136 people in the bar.

Big bar.

Not the ledger, the exchanges. And then it's impossible to recover the money because the account it's gone to is anonymous.
I assume he meant people have had their coins stolen, usually from exchanges, really not much different than your bank getting robbed, although in this cause your money is gone and the exchange doesn't cover the theft.

That's not what I mean.

Take for example solution #1: "Redesign stations to get more people on and off trains faster."

The text and graphics then goes on to explain some interesting issues with various stations but what solutions are the experts recommending to get more people on and off? How many more people per unit of time do they need to accommodate? This is solution #1, does that mean it's the most urgent? etc. etc.

Is not cryptocurrency the ultimate fiat currency?

It only has worth because we all "agree" it does via supply and demand for the currency itself, rather than any backing material value. Aside from a bunch of power plants in China, I suppose? But people don't hold Bitcoin at $20,000 because they strongly believe in the material worth of the rural Chinese electric grid.

I see real value in smart contracts despite the mentioned flaws above. The smart contracts can automate A lot of transactions that use intermediaries, see notaries, lawyers, judges that do a ton of bulk work to validate paperwork authenticity, all sorts of agents and middle-men that charge fees etcetera.

Ok, people say it’s not secure, contracts can be hacked, but why not back these smart contracts by law? And when issues/breaches happen have a judge decide. These tools should be complementary and should not eliminate each other. We can and probably will have smart contracts alongside the day-to-day bureaucracy to help us with the simple stuff at first. Like when I need to pay a couple thousand to a notary for changing ownership of an estate only because of trust issues. If that is not ripe for disruption then I don’t know what is.

Difficulty can't actually correspond to the number of leading zeros required in the hash, can it? Then there would only be 256 levels of difficulty, and the average block time would have to double whenever difficulty increases. Yet I see this "leading zeros" explanation everywhere. So maybe it is the case, but if so, why was this way chosen rather than just requiring that the hash be less than some value, with that value being a function of difficulty? That would give you more granularity at very little additional complexity.
