>The Euro took away the single most painful thing still plaguing travel between EU countries.

In other words, it took away one insignificant burden on travelling, something which people do a best a few weeks a year, and in exchange it devastated their jobs and communities, for which they depend on survival (and for having the money to travel) all year long...

>These days an EU citizen can up and leave to a different EU country with very little friction

Yes, and usually with tears in their eyes, because they're forced to leave their country, culture, friends and close family to go work on some country that did better. Often even at 40 years old or later, and after their job in their own country crushed, because (among other things) of the Euro. The saddest songs in most southern countries are about migrating.

The kind of migration you describe is only a good thing (and a chosen option) for more privileged people who chose to do it and can chose to live where they want at a whim -- not for the millions merely forced to go find work elsewhere.

>which was the idea

Yeah, just not an idea that people asked for -- just the dream of the elites that created and pushed for it.

If you reduce all energy exchange to particles in a vacuum, most of the particles transfering energy are photons. Energy transfer, in general is mostly reducible to photons at a fundamental level. In other words, across the vacuum of space, in an idealized model, where there is nothing but void, any exchange or transfer is via particles traversing the emptiness, and most often, those particles are photons.

If two bodies at absolute zero are suspended in a void, and the limits of that void are walls of matter frozen at absolute zero, light years away, and nothing in the scene is emitting photons, what reason would drive the to objects to be attracted toward one another?

This is to say, if the arrow of time is a deterministic effect of entropy, and the irreversible aspect of time is a result of the chaotic interactions of many discrete subatomic entities, why would spacetime still be curved by two dark, massive, cold bodies, such that, even in the absence of photon exchange between the two, there are forces acting upon them at a distance, leading them to cross a void, travel down some unseen curvature or gradient and collide?

If empty space truly is nothingness and void, then entropy, and by corollary, the arrow of time, only exists in the quantum state of each material body.

This would seem to herald a fact that the bodies each move themselves toward eachother, as an incidental phenomenon of being condensed from raw unbound energy to systems of materialized standing waves, (subatomic particles trapped in fixed discrete systems of balanced energy, which does not readily decay into other particles without action from external entities).

In total darkness, without the exchange of photons, why would two massive, cold, inert objects move inexorably toward one another?

How would each massive object find the other's location and accelerate toward the other, if there is nothing but empty space between?
Physicians often have colloquially considered pot to not be a root cause for some patients, when it should be.

If a child starts self medicating with pot and then their life deteriorates along with their pot usage, there needs to be a focus on cessation of usage, particularly since the child’s brain is still developing.

This has nothing to do with addressing any other underlying issues that the child may be experiencing. Regardless, some people are best off staying away from pot entirely (as well as other substances that are not part of this discussion).
Interesting. I always though that Marijuana is not as addicting because THC is stored in your fat. The THC gets slowly absorbed back into your system which lessens the withdrawals symptoms. I wonder if there is a threshold where your THC consumption far exceeds the maximum saturation of THC in your fat which make the person experience withdrawal symptoms similar to opioids.

Fractional reserve refers to the reserve of cash, but it does not refer to the reserve of total assets/liabilities.

If you are implying Tether is backed by total assets/liabilities, then some people might be OK. On the other hand, some people might be concerned if it was backed by cryptocurrencies which are rather volatile. The volatility of the cryptocurrencies could then result in volatility in Tether.

Your defense of Apple's cooperation with the Chinese government is repugnant. Apple could have easily decided not to open data centers in China if they really valued the privacy of their Chinese users. Tim Cook said that privacy is a human right. Apparently, Tim Cook doesn't believe Chinese citizens deserve privacy because they happily hand over all of their data to the Chinese government. It's quite clear that that the additional revenue generated by the Chinese App store and iCloud services far exceeds the human rights of their users.

>The difference between Apple and Google is that Google is doing things which may not be desirable despite no law compelling them to.

No, the difference between Apple and Google is that Google decided to leave China rather than cooperate with the government.

>If the US government (or any other government) manages to pass a law which says that Apple must turn over all the user data they have - or that they must collect certain types of data, there is nothing Apple can do other than comply - or shut shop.

Shut shop? You mean like how Google shut shop?

You I know my last comment got flagged away but honestly. I've smoked weed for over 14 years just about every day. I go through an eighth a day some days. I've gone many times for extended periods of without weed. Any time i've been to america, when I was travelling around a lot for work. As I mentioned before I smoke cigarettes, I drink a shit ton of coffee, I also drink alcohol just about every night. My mood decreases far worse when stopping any of the the last three habits far more than stopping weed and I tend to get physical effects also. About the only negative effects I get from stopping weed is a night or two of really vivid dreams.

Sure weed is habit forming, but to call it an addiction is ridiculous. I've met plenty of people addicted to opiates or cocaine, meth too. There is a massive difference between what happens when those people stop taking their drugs as opposed to myself or anyone i've ever met stopping weed.

>So nobody bothers to even report such crimes

As a person who knows Japan quite well, this is not true. Even a very light case like seeing a stranger near a house, Japanese people will often call the police or go to a koban and request for help. In such case, a police officer will come to your house, listen to your claim, fill in papers, and will do some patrolling everyday for several days.

It is not that nobody bothers to report crimes. Japanese people bothers to report crimes, but it is up to the police department that if they should accept the damage report and do some further investigation. Of course there are priorities and because of the lack of resources some crimes won't be taken seriously when it should have.

My biggest problem with Apple Maps (or maybe it's Siri, not sure) is search. I ask "give me directions to the Apple store in DC" and it returns a single entry for the Apple Store that happens to be closest. The algorithm appears to weight current location to the point that searching for anything outside your immediate vicinity is useless.

Am I the only one with this problem?
Ask HN: As a unicorn data scientist, how do I transition to a manager resume?
I've got a weird profile.

I'm a Ph.D. data scientist who has worked at a FANG. But for unusual reasons, I've got plenty of management experience, perhaps to the degree as if I had worked as a project manager or management consultant during all my tenure in the industry.

As a result, it's possible my profile could be present as a golden genius unicorn. It's equally possible it could present like poser trash.

So how do I write up a resume I can use to apply to employers? Currently, I'm not even sure how to write up a resume for a management role in tech, much less perform the gymnastics to craft my data scientist profile into a resume for management.

Can anyone shoot me a manager or project manager resume that looks civilized?

That kind of statement begs for a story.

In some scenarios, it's also effectively saying "make sure someone else is the one that gets raped/attacked/whatever tonight".

While the only 100% hydroelectric regions I know of are the pacific northwest USA and eastern Canada, I live in an area with 60% hydroelectric and nuclear. 30% is natural gas. The last 10% is a split between coal and renewables. So a battery electric vehicle is 65% near zero emissions, and 95% is less polluting than oil. (Without considering the inherent efficiency of battery powered motors vs. internal combustion engines. Or the environmental footprint of manufacturing "green" machines, building concrete containment domes for nuclear plants, nuclear waste disposal, or methane leaks).

Even pure displacement of air pollution to smokestacks is a huge plus in places like midtown Manhattan where the most respiratory health harms due to particulates, NOx, ozone, etc. are taking place. Less kids getting asthma, people getting heart attacks/strokes, premature births, etc.
At least Apple doesn’t market to me based on places I visit. Tim Cook cares deeply about this, the folks at Google — privacy is contrary to their business model. “Security” is important at Google, but privacy definitely isn’t.
What's that NANOG .sig about 'always carry a piece of fiber, that way if you get lost just bury it and when the backhoe comes by to dig it up you can get directions back to civilization.'

> So do what most people do: don't pay with cash.

> You mean tack on 2-3% processing fees on every transaction?

No. The price you're paying at the store doesn't change for you just because you pay without cash. If you walk into Walmart or Target or a local convenience store, they're not changing all the prices at the POS if you pay in cash vs card. And your paying with cash isn't having a meaningful impact at reducing prices as a share of payment, cash is too far in the minority at this point and that's going to get worse.

Cannabis is non toxic, so what are you going to detox?

Do you roll with tobacco? People often say they are "addicted" to cannabis, but that is in fact tobacco they use.

You clearly have a problem nevertheless. It looks like your body is not compatible with what you smoke. Have you tried CBT therapy, to find out why do you need this?

Why would Apple want to base their business on their he competency of OpenStreetMaps. As a shareholder, I would find that alarming; as a user, Apple Maps is far better as it is right now.
Anecdotally, it absolutely does - I had chalked it up to increased airflow, similar to optimizing airflow in a computer case - the exit fan position optimized to remove hotter air, the inlet pumping in cooler air wherever I'm sitting.

That really depends on what you're doing. I've seen people coming from a pure math background really struggle. If you've never programmed before, then using something like TensowFlow isn't exactly going to feel natural. Familiarity with Python and the Linux ecosystem would definitely be quite helpful. Yes, I'm sure you could run ML models on a Windows machine, but at some point, you might want to perform experiments on a cluster, and it's going to be running Linux.

What I don't get is how they match each individual fiber on the left with its right one, as I imagine there are probably thousands and individual fibers inside a bundle. When they installed the fiber at my home they had some laser to check the fiber correspondence. Is it just that, pick left illuminated by laser fiber, pick right illuminated by laser fiber, put in a glueing/fusing machine, and doing it n times (where n is huge)?
Where do they get some slack to access the fiber bundled inside ? (Do they need to add a patch section and do the above work two times, or is there some neat trick ?)

Are you only interested in ML practicum? What did you take after real analysis?

What are your thoughts/interests on analysis for ML, like the approximation theory that branched from Fourier and Wavelet analysis catching on with Cybenko [1], continuing with among others Mhaskar [2], most recently added to by Bolcskei [3]. And then there are other areas where analysis applies like studying the optimization of such networks...

(And of course, this is just for NNs. There are other areas of research where analysis comes into ML. And of course, real analysis lays the foundations for probability and statistics, and is not abstracted away in many research areas in these fields.)

> Nuclear has amazing power ratios but detonating a nuclear warhead to get moving is somewhat of a problem when you're close to earth.

It's not really a 'near earth' issue. Fallout concerns can probably be mitigated (and Freeman Dyson came up with a few ideas in that direction). Research in this direction, however, got killed as part of the various test ban treaties.

From the perspective of trying to reduce any country's desire for having a nuclear bomb program, Project Orion, and other nuclear solutions, is a no go. So even if you were to promise "We'll only start the nuclear component when we hit the moon" the proliferation concerns would still kill NASA's interest in pursuing it.

So yeah; it's not really a technical issue at it's core (though you definitely have technical issues to solve), but rather a political one (which certainly doesn't invalidate it).

Over the years I've noticed this, privacy defeatism, amongst other excuses used to push back against security and privacy enhancements.

Another is security chicken and egg. "Because A isn't secure, there's no point in securing B. And because B isn't secure, there's no point in securing A." I've seen arguments along those lines used against improving the security of, for example, DNS and SNI. Or just DNS in general. "There's no point in securing DNS because your ISP can see what IP addresses you connect to."

The all-or-nothing argument has been used to argue against HTTPS. "State actors like China can circumvent HTTPS, since they control trusted CAs! So why use HTTPS at all?"

Then there's the arguments against security because "it makes development harder!" People have argued against mandatory HTTPS saying that it makes developing websites harder.

The list goes on.

Luckily it seems that pro-security and pro-privacy succeed in the end, for the most part. But those that use these pathological arguments have certainly delayed things more than they should have been.

Yes. One box fan pointed in is just pushing against a wall of air that has nowhere to go. It's completely possible for a fan to be spinning but move essentially no air. One pointed in and one pointed out gives that wall of air somewhere to go, which means the fan pointed in is able to push more air in.
