Unfortunately, the Copenhagen interpretation is weaved into the very fabric of QM as it exist to this day, and it would be a huge deal if we could replace it with some other consistent theoretical framework that would not be modeled after classical physics with its notion of measurable properties.
I'm guessing this was brought up due to the news about ICE using the scanner technology. https://www.theverge.com/2018/1/26/16932350/ice-immigration-...

You're not wrong - avocados planted from seed take anywhere from 5 to 13 years+ before they flower and produce fruit.

A lot of chains use TV sets to list item pricing now, so that would make it easier. But I agree that it's usually not in the chain's best interest to raise prices often
I'm not sure it is that simple. May be college/university education is a better predictor for Strava usage. But given that education in the US correlates with both race and income it is hard to say without controlling other variables.
Conpenhagen interpretation is refined with the concept of decoherence to avoid those problems.
That second part sounds pretty nihilist to me. Life has no meaning, so it's up to you to create it (if you want).

That last image with the spheres seems like one of the most straightforward... The sphere is in 2 halves, the long U shaped piece with the barbs ties them together. The clasp at the top can enter the U shaped piece before it is inserted into the sphere. The tuning fork thing is the key. insert it through the 2 holes in the bottom and the barbs on the U shaped piece are bent back so the U can be removed.

Asking a teacher to shoot a kid, even a kid who is shooting others, is asking too much in my book. And I say that as someone pretty firmly opposed to gun control.

We need to stop shoehorning kids into high schools that assume that kids are either college-bound, or losers destined for welfare (if they even graduate). There is nothing worse for a kids' self esteem than forcing him to participate in something that he's systematically excluded from.

At my high school, if you were not college bound, you got no attention from career or guidance counselors, and were pretty much written off unless you were gifted athletically.
QM is a model. it may have some basis in reality, but we don't know if "amplitudes" are fundamentally real or not.

Just because it predicts outcomes (probabilistically!) very accurately doesn't mean we have the full picture.

(how does gravity fit into this picture? it's completely let out of QM!)
This sounds a lot like someone has fallen for a subtle confusion of map and territory...
As a former MacBook Air owner, the screen is total garbage. It's max resolution 1440x900! Smartphones have higher resolutions than that.

I didn't realise how unproductive I was until I switched to something with more resolution. Not to mention that it's TN, which is insulting for the price.
Once you’d used TiVo to time-shift (up to 1TB with easy upgrade from weaknees) and channel skip (“blip! blip! blip!” for 30 secs) it was intolerable to watch cable live.

TiVo trained a generation of future cord cutters they could catch ‘their’ shows and still have Thursday night free.

If networks had understood this, they’d have embraced ‘apps’ sooner. It’s dangerous to let someone else set your customers’ expectations.
But the entanglement doesn't "cause collapse." If you entangle states A and B, their joint state is in a superposition and will still exhibit interference (given the right experimental setup). It's just that either particle by itself will not.
Maybe s/'public now private'/'private now public'/ ?

I find the opposite, 2 or more screens tends to distract me more than it helps. I'm more productive on my 1366x768 13" screen as long as I have a decent window manager (i3, tmux) that can actually manage your windows. I'd do this all day if the ergonomics were better.

Maybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to Hacker News.

The only information here is that you're annoyed and disapprove. That's not enough to make a post good. If you'd be willing to transmute annoyance into information others can learn from, that'd be great. If you don't want to, that's fine, but then please just don't post anything. When commenters use this forum merely as a venting outlet, quality suffers.
I worked on the PWA from its inception until the past few months. The size difference is real, and I'd wager that it was 75% at parity with the native featureset at the time I left :)

The wiki page is listing the dv cost of a transfer orbit -
no capture (assuming I'm looking at the right table). The dv map is showing the cost to land on the sun, including both capture into low solar orbit and landing from there (which is the really expensive bit for large bodies). Note that 440 km/s of the total 650 km/s listed on the map is that one step.

I personally prefer the subway-styled dv maps, but that may just be me: http://i.imgur.com/AAGJvD1.png

I see that makes more sense now, I think that line did throw me off somehow.

I haven't seen any close friends or family just pop a Tylenol for every day aches and pains, but it certainly seems to be a thing, so I'm open to the idea that I'm living in some kind of bubble in that regard. I've always thought of pain medication as for bringing severe pain down to a lower (but non-zero) level, so for example it might not be taken at all if you break a toe, but would be more than reasonable for the jaw surgery in the first post in the thread.

It's interesting, chronic back pain is one of the most common chronic pain causes, and a doctor was talking to me recently about it (in general, luckily I don't have it). Apparently once it gets started it can have its own self reinforcing process, and there are measurable biological changes to how nerves fire etc. that are independent of any initial underlying injury. Probably there's some people faking or overstating it, but I could easily imagine such a process getting pretty severe. Unfortunately, the outlook is pretty bad I think once you've had it for a set amount of time.

So concerning chronic pain / opioid use I can't figure out if Americans are less willing to deal with pain, or actually have more pain, or some combination of both. If back pain just needs an initial injury to set it off, then escalates from there, the unhealthy lifestyles and ever increasing obesity levels here would do a lot to explain why it is becoming an increasing problem.
I am curious whether there was an equal effect for boys and girls. Most of the men I know are a lot less active on social media than women, but I'm not sure if this is also true for teenagers.

I am not exactly sure what was the whole point of you rant.

FB was better than Myspace, Google was better than other search engines, Slack is better than Skype.

>I agree there are some cases when that may work but my point is that they are very very rare from what I can see.

Do you seriously believe that inventing a new market is less difficult than fixing/improving existing solutions?
well you might want disagree with the most senior research prof at Caltech, but I woudln't.

That's what they really think of many worlds. And, really, is it any worse than any of the alternatives?
> At least I'm happy governments all over the world took a stand. But unfortunately, this trend won't stop until consumers also take a stand and vote with their wallets.

This is naive. If the only solution you proffer is one of consumer boycott then the problem will never get better. Boycotts rarely, if ever, affect anything. And given the nature of the problem — the addictive nature of some game mechanics and dependency on the reward mechanisms of the brain — I think it is borderline foolhardy to believe simple “free will” to be a solution of any seriousness.

I like avocados because they have a creamy and nutty flavor. They taste a little like green walnuts - not the dried ones from the store, but the raw walnuts from walnut trees. They get your fingers all dark brown when you try to peel the skin and they're delicious.

Also, I wasn't much of a fan of guac until we learnt how to make it at home 2 years ago. Since then we have guac at least twice a week. I still have some left in the fridge. You know what eating chocolate feels like, right? That's the feeling I have when I eat homemade guacamole.

I've found the transition to the native components to be the easiest part. Really feels no different than using components just like you would on the web. Hard part is that the documentation for everything has tons of missing pieces and the error messages suck.
And yet Lindgren remained a committed Social Democrat even in spite of this. Drawing a parallel between her and a tax-dodging, fascist sympathizer is quite the leap. Lindgren despised the Nazism Kamprad embraced and never really fully repudiated.

No, you don't need consciousness. Since 1979, the concept of decoherence has replaced consciousness in the understanding of QM.

So what? Nobody builds social networks? Great idea, let's just all agree not to build social networks or make companies out of them. Because as we all know humanity is great at not doing things we have every capacity as well as a handful of reasons to do.

Try thinking about a real solution to the problem next time that isn't "let's not do this".
The thought probably is that people will get an external monitor and rarely use their laptops without an external monitor, either at home or at work, save for meetings and perh during mass transit commutes.

Well, that's my guess as to why.
Let's look at the OECD stats for teenage suicide worldwide:

> Teenage suicides rates have, on average, declined slightly over the past two decades or so (Chart CO4.4.A). While in 1990 there were, on average across the OECD, 8.5 suicides per 100 000 teenagers (15-19), by 2015 this rate had fallen to 7.4. Much of this decline occurred during the 2000s. Between 1990 and 1999 the OECD average teenage suicide remained fairly stable at around 8.4 suicides per 100,000, but this average fell across the 2000s before reaching a low of 6.3 per 100,000 in 2007. With the exception of 2008, the average rate remained lower than 7.0 until 2014, although it increased slightly in 2014 and 2015.

Yikes...I should have done the research first. I'll edit, thank you.
You don't understand what a conspiracy theory is. It's when a covert organization covers up a malicious act. You're just using inflated language to describe what's ultimately just a mistaken argument.

I'm just responding to this:

> I think of many worlds as kind of a literal interpretation that quantum superpositions are fundamentally real, as opposed to quantum superpositions merely being a very accurate mathematical model.

If the stance is predicated on that assumption, as you suggest (and I'm inclined to agree, having read other of Carroll's writings), then I have to continue disagreeing. If the rest of the world of physicist luminaries were unanimously aligned with Carroll it would be more difficult (but still tempting...)—but luckily that's not the case.
Your paper describing measurement in terms of entanglement is interesting. Would you mind posting the link to the video you mentioned?
I think it is no coincidence that in your final paragraph you don't specify the question. Can you formulate a specific question in such a way that an nihilist might answer "No", but you feel that the correct answer is "Mu"?

"What is the meaning of life?" - a nihilist would answer 'mu'.

"Is there any intrinsic meaning to life?" - a nihilist would answer 'no', and it seems to me that 'mu' would be an obvious copout.

Is your point that the word 'meaning' itself is meaningless?

You aren't taking nihilism seriously enough.
As a beancounter can say, "Hey, I saved us $8000 (200 laptops)! Now where's my promotion?", and the low productivity won't be your problem - you might not even realise it. So it's very easy to understand, actually.

We have a compost bin in the back yard where they sprout from seed spontaneously. I have grown a couple of trees and given some seedlings away to friends.

Fingers crossed, they bear fruit eventually. If not, they make a fairly fast growing tree (2m after 3-4 years) - although this week the leaves burn quickly in the summer heat if inadequately watered.
1. Whether INTC soared after he sold his stock is irrelevant to the issue of insider trading

2. Agree, the article doesn't seem to dig deeper into the logic behind his sale. Not sure if I see the relation between the date of disclosure to OEM partners and selling the stock on the same day. He had scheduled the stock sale: Initial amount and sale date was pre-defined in Jan 2017, followed by the change in the amount of stocks to sell (but not the date) in Oct 2017.

3. Even if he had scheduled the stock sale on Nov 29 after setting the OEM disclosure date on Nov 29; I am not sure if I see the benefit of selling the stock on the same day. Disclosure to the OEMs was not made publicly. May be perhaps he would have been concerned with a leak plunging the stock?

I was reading "Dr. Mutter's Marvels" a while back. The eponymous surgeon was working around the time that anesthesia was being invented in the US, and it talks a bit about how some competing traditionalists believed that pain needed to be part of the actual bone-sawing surgery itself. (Also a natural part of all childbirth, with biblical overtones.)

Consider the possibility that you have a faulty one. It does happen. Apple, like every other manufacturer, will be resistant to the suggestion, though.

Yes. People seem to be fixated on the perceived evils of the day and forget about how all of history is full of competing political groups and ideas, most of them promoting or using violence to gain power. If it was obvious how to pick goodies and baddies, hardly anyone would join the baddies.

Well if there's lawyers getting involved, or the threat of such, that's what the five eyes (and the other "n eyes") are for. And then you can just call it a "minimization error during routine data sharing with foreign intelligence partners" that happened to sweep up tons of domestic US data.
Also cool. I opted for GPS because I had a spare Pi and you can get dubious but perfectly adequate GPS modules for $3 off of Aliexpress, it's kind of an impulse buy. I also picked up a MAX7219-based LED display for another $2, so it's also going to be an over-engineered desk clock for $15 + some 3D printed parts (the other $10 is for a Pi Zero W I had left over from a different project).

Ask HN: How does your company send international contractor payments?
We have bank accounts in Hong Kong, China, and the US and need to pay contractors all over the world. I'm trying to find a reliable, low mental overhead, inexpensive solution for sending them payments. Countries like Ukraine, Pakistan, the Philippines.

We primarily operate in USD. Our contractors almost universally prefer to receive USD and generally have a USD account in their home country. Almost any online info or comparison tool assumes you are dealing with an exchange rate.

Currently we usually send payments from Hong Kong because the fees are lower (around $12USD per transfer), but we are having trouble with accounts getting closed for non-specific "administrative reasons". After about a year of trying to learn what that means, we think it's because we are sending money from a business account to personal accounts in a foreign country and that is categorized as high-risk for fraud.

Sending money from the US account would work, but it's much more expensive (~$45USD/transfer, so roughly $500/year/contractor), and we would usually need to move the money there first since that's not the account it generally shows up in.

We generally have around 5 contractors at any given time. This tends to limit what's possible in terms of custom solutions or payment accounts with services like Payoneer.

Honestly I'd pay $2500/year in a heartbeat if it would all just work, but we end up constantly having to follow up on rejected wires, mis-typed account names and miscellaneous other stuff that it feels like the banking system should have figured out by now.

1). Any suggestions for how to efficiently get USD from country A to a personal account in country B?
2). In a general sense, are there better approaches?

Thanks for your input!

What's Slack Doing with Your Data?
It is untenable even from a purely philosophical standpoint that we could bring all this classical baggage into the world of which we already know well enough to behave nothing like what we have seen before and hope that we would end up with something other than a mess in our understanding what is really going on. All we have ended up with is a theory telling us how a quantum system interacts with what we must think of as a classical object so we could conveniently, albeit probabilistically, extrapolate the notions (e.g. those of "properties") of the familiar classical world to the world that is and will forever remain out of reach to our senses.

> We’re still having children bringing guns to school to shoot their bullies.

Americans seem to bring guns to church to shoot church goers. They bring guns to cinemas to shoot patrons. They leave guns in their car's back seat so their infant can accidentally shoot them through the back of their own head.

I think the example of gun violence has a solution found outside the topic of teen depression.

Gun ownership and the romanticism around the 'right to bear arms' in the US is a whole deluded issue in itself.
