a) american culture values rebelliousness, not 'being presumptuous' and has lost the 'proving our moral superiority to others' slant that it used to have when americans dressed up, hence huge casualness these days

> Why Nim rather than e.g. Haskell?

Because Nim syntax will be familiar to Python developer. Sometimes all you need to change is add variable declarations and rename `def` to `proc`.

Haskell has a much steeper learning curve. Been there, struggled with that. If I would recommend a functional language to Python developer, I would go with F#.

Also broadcasting is inefficient. Surely there are better use of energy than wasting so much of it that it becomes detectable from another solar system.

An advanced species would mostly broadcast on purpose only, which indeed, raise other concerns.

There was a similar theory (well more a science magazine one) than Fermi paradox to explain there is no other planet in the universe. Until we started to know what to look for and suddenly they appeared everywhere.

Fermi paradox is at the same time clever at the same time you wonder if you are actually doing something akin "There is 0 chance you can throw 1000 dice and produce to produce a positive integer number", just because you look at a specific sequence and indeed that exact sequence is statistically impossible to exist randomly.

> Tersicoccus phoenicis is a member of the bacterial family Micrococcaceae. It has only been found in two spacecraft assembly clean room facilities and is resistant to the methods normally used to clean such facilities. The species name is derived from tersi, Latin for clean; coccus, Greek for berry; and phoenicis, from NASA's Phoenix lander, the spacecraft being prepared when these bacteria were first discovered.

The replacement of actual Search with this Cortana-based attempt at a "smart" search or Q&A interaction is absolutely agonizing to experience as a user and just a completely boggling decision to me in general. Why on earth did a search feature that will return something different from what you typed in, with the exact thing you typed in the secondary results, ever make it out of testing for public release? I have faith it'll improve over time, but right now Cortana in general feels like a step directly backwards in every category "she" touches. The Edge browser is actually pretty slick on the Surface, but instead of being able to right click selected text and search it, I have to "ask Cortana." I don't want to ask Cortana, I want to search that in Google.

You can do that in Nim - it compiles to C.

If you have no previous knowledge of C, with Nim you get C-like speed with Python-like easy to write syntax.

Why not Cython, which gives speedups in those ranges, is more familiar to Python developers and fully integrated into the Python ecosystem?
I wonder, where does this assertion come from, that "readers crave brainjunk at the expense of all other quality content"? The surrounding sentences suggest that the author genuinely believes that demand came (and comes) first, and "media companies have been more than happy to oblige". I posit that this is a load of crock.

Free "junky" content is popular simply because it's free and plentiful, and has a vastly, unquantifiably lower barrier to entry than paid content -- and not because it's dopamine-releasing junk. It's popular because it's accessible, requires little cognitive load to evaluate ahead of time, and its momentary consumption is noncommittal. If article mills stopped producing throwaway clickbait to fill an Outbrain footer, the corresponding "demand" would plummet.

But this content keeps being produced, because business models on the web suck, so every publisher feels they have to put some eggs into advertising. Because reader attention has an upper bound, one publisher's gain is quite often another's loss, and this directly translates into advertising revenue.

Given the low appetite for the masses to pay, Apple, Google, Facebook, Medium, and incumbent news publications have all tried to solve this problem in ways that further integrate advertising, analytics, and personalized suggestions, and these efforts continue to face challenges due to the misalignment of incentives.
It can do a bit less, if you're opting to go with pure HTML/CSS; however, without JS, pure HTML/CSS is quite snappy if done well, and infinitely easier to write, from my experience. It's also easier, in my opinion, to make nice looking interfaces with.

Don't get me wrong, I love native applications—but saying that they're easier to develop than something in HTML/CSS is, generally speaking, not true.

Granted, I'm far worse of a programmer than a designer, so I might be missing out on what's good about Delphi because of it.
Sure. Amazon seems like a good example -- if the source code to the site and backend were released, you'd still have a company as profitable because the hard part is the global logistics work, relationships made, warehouses they've built and staffed.

The post clearly describes scientists in related fields using scientific mechanisms and tools like DNA analysis to make the discovery based on replicable results. So, I don't see this falls under pseudo-science or "flaky publishings". As it's also widely accepted that earliest humans started in Africa then migrated elsewhere, its quite logical the the first arrivals in Europe would be darkskinned and not surprising that more evidence reflecting that is found. Nothing political or "anti-European" about that. Only problem I see is some people possibly having personal issues with identity of their ancestors, which doesn't change the facts.

Neither of us have any data here, but I really doubt this is true. I suspect that any deficiency in technical skills at, say, age 12, can quickly be overcome. But the downsides in terms of problems with social, emotional, and behavioral development from being exposed to technology 24/7 from a young age seems like it might be much more difficult to overcome.

My position is that moderate and supervised technology use from a young age probably is the best path, but if the choice was between two extremes of “unrestricted access from 0-10 years old” and “no access from 0-10”, I think the latter is the choice that I’d make. I highly doubt my kids would be at a long-term disadvantage.

It's not about humility. The only way for them to be not measurable in principle is if they were running out-of-band on a supernatural plane, magically inaccessible and yet affecting the real world. Because unless you assume magic, everything that affects the real world in any way is observable and thus measurable, by definition.

We have no good evidence so far to believe in magic.
> However, Cheddar Man had “ancestral” versions of all these genes, strongly suggesting he would have had “dark to black” skin tone, but combined with blue eyes.

That's a pretty big assumption to make and reeks of pseudoscience.

Edit, more assumptions here:

> The results pointed to a Middle Eastern origin for Cheddar Man, suggesting that his ancestors would have left Africa, moved into the Middle East and later headed west into Europe,

Middle Eastern origin dating to the Neolithic, but they assume he had to have recently migrated from Africa, despite the fact that complex societies were developing in the Middle East during the time period described, and those populations were distinctly Eurasian.

So multiple 'assumptions', both of which are at best a stretch, to push this agenda. If his origin is indeed Middle Eastern who's to say he's not from Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Iran or even the Caucasus? The only 'proof' of African origin is that he's Middle Eastern...

PyQt is really difficult for me to use because of the license, I'm afraid.

In all of the comparisons I found on different frameworks the criticisms of Tk all seem to be about the looks (in that it didn't take on native styles), but that seems to have been resolved. It doesn't affect my in house use case either. The other thing mentioned is that Qt has more widgets. I don;t need those right now. Therefore it would seem that for simple in house software Tkinter was a pretty fair choice.

> I feel like there's a bit of roughness conceptually between Qt and Python that are just fundamental, but I think that's more on Python and asynchronous needs of UIs.

I don't understand. The question you link to is about orbit stability, not the risk of collision and planetary protection. The risk of collision is infinitesimal regardless.

But in any case, I'm happy with with earnest questions about math/science. What's boring and distracting are these expressions of concern about rule violations. Consider: would the original comment of NathanKP have been popular if he asked "I wonder what the chances are that the Tesla will collide with an asteroid?" No. Maybe someone would have quickly pointed to a calculation or estimate, but it would't be at the top of the thread without the emotional appeal that someone somewhere might be breaking a rule.

NexTravel (YC W15) Is Hiring a Senior React Engineer
Well, something that happened where I live (Portland, OR) is that AirBnB became popular enough that people and businesses would buy houses to rent out. One of the consequences was that, because it was so profitable, these renters could buy more, driving up the cost of housing and contributing to an already bad housing shortage. It became very difficult to find an affordable apartment, and it's still pretty tough. I feel like that trade-off (people who own those properties make more money, visitors have a few more places to stay) is skewed pretty heavily in favor of the property owners. And the businesses making that money could easily come from out of state, draining money from the local economy.

You are supposed to have a license (Accessory Short-Term Rental permit) for AirBnB rentals, and it has to be your primary residence. But people still skirt this law.
There's also just forces that will be hard to characterize in a model, eg thermal recoil where the heat radiating off an object produces a tiny acceleration in the opposite direction. The roadster has black panels that will heat up more than the rest of the body work. Then there's other tiny forces like the solar wind. All tiny but over huge time spans their influence keeps widening the error bounds on the simulation.
Some do and some don't. In terms of knowing about life on other planets of course it would be ideal to maintain planetary quarantine protocols and so on. The problem for exobiologists is that given the absence of visible life in our local system, any life that does exist is fossilized or fragile, and of course we would want to approach it with the same delicacy that we would any other fragile thing.

On the other hand, our solar system is but one among many and the longer we hesitate in exploring this one the longer it will be before we are able to explore others. TAn excess of caution can become an excuse for inaction. If earth is an oasis in a planetary desert, the way to find other life is not by maintaining extreme caution about disturbing the surrounding sand dunes but by trekking across them in search of other oases.

It's a matter of where you place responsibility. It's like saying, "most websites aren't responsive, so naturally it makes sense to restrict the size of your browser window and leave space for other apps." But most would laugh at this and say it's the responsibility of the website/webapp to build a responsive layout. Why should we hold desktop applications to a different standard?
