There are mature platforms out there that act as a platform to showcase and sell art out there. Building your own platform might be interesting as a project, but not economically sensible. An existing platform gives your girlfriend the tools to interact with people who like her art, and to experiment without having to wait for you to finish a new feature.

If her art is physical, consider Etsy; if it is digital, look at DeviantArt, Patreon, or one of the many order-to-print shops.

I guess thats a problem with the SAT. I saw a couple of questions and a lot of them are very easy for college entrance exams. I think university entrances should be a bit on the tough end (China's standardized tests and JEE from India come to mind). Of course schools could look at a lot more but if so many people get perfect scores then that clearly is a problem with the tests themselves.

My Iranian wife (lived there until well into adulthood) had to live several years in Germany until she understood that Israel was a democracy with civil liberties and rule of law and had a real reason to fear the Iranians. She recognized that she had been under propaganda for so long that she subconsciously believed that Israel was Satan and had to learn the real threat was the other way round.
It depends on one's philosophy I guess. Having more than the replacement rate is bad for the world. On average, even having the replacement rate is bad for the world (for now). Maybe human extinction would be good for the world depending on your view of what good is (an unspoilt ecological Eden sounds nice - though I like the idea of at least a few people around)

However, it's worth noting that countries with high gender equality (including shared parental leave) tend to have below-replacement birthrates. It kind of makes sense that letting people have a kid and stay in the workforce means fewer kids - being a working parent with 1 kid is hard enough (even with leave). Even with fully shared parental leave, having a kid is more expensive if you have a career. By contrast, if having a kid knocks you out of the workplace entirely it makes the cost of having another lower. My wife and I have a kid and we have indeed thought "well, if we have two kids the creche fees nearly double, and the math doesn't work out, so if we're going to stay a two-income family we really can only have one".

And we all end up paying for crap we don't want to. Buying a house is a choice but before I left the US my taxes subsidized the insanely stupid mortgage interest tax deduction. I HATE paying for roads through taxes. I think they should be completely tolled and made to support themselves, and that if the externalities were priced in most travel would be via bike/ebike/walking/public transport. But I don't get much choice; my taxes pay for them. We have sprawling roads _everywhere_, there's no peace and quiet _anywhere_, and civilisation (including today's children) may die a horrible death as a result.
Wireless charging can't be used through the front glass of a phone because it needs to have a receiving (Rx) coil and not cause electrical interference with the parts between the receiving and transmitting coils by the magnetic flux produced by wireless charging.

If you look at the bottom of page 4 of this PDF document (numbered page 11 if it were printed), https://www.mouser.com/pdfDocs/TI-Designing-a-Qi-compliant-r..., you can see a picture (Figure 8) that shows the construction of wireless charging coils for phones. The Rx portion would be inside the phone. Notice that there is a part titled "Rx Shield". The Rx Shield is to protect components of the phone above it.

Figure 5 (on page 2 of the document) has a picture that shows the magnetic flux density graphed. The fields produced are in the low mT range, so parts need to be able to handle it without heating or interference and boards will need to have appropriate filtering, if you wanted to charge through the front glass.
This infrastructure looks more expensive than a Hyperloop.

An average flight on a Delta Air Lines 737-800 costs $2,744 per hour. The plane burns 850 gallons per hour. Fuel costs $1,275 based on Jet-A fuel costing Delta $1.50 a gallon. Two pilots and five flight attendants costs around $500 an hour. Direct maintenance on the airframe is around $220, engines are around $130, and maintenance burden is around $150, for a total of $500. In addition to this cost is depreciation of $373 and aircraft rental of $96. An average flight on an American Airlines 737-800 costs $2,180 per hour. The plane burns 850 gallons per hour. Fuel costs $1,028 based on Jet-A fuel costing American $1.21 a gallon. A cockpit crew of two along with five flight attendants costs around $465 an hour. Direct maintenance on the airframe is around $200, engines are around $110, and maintenance burden is around $135, for a total of $315. Also added to this cost is depreciation of $259 and aircraft rental of $113.

Re: perspective-dependence: I'm assuming they meant that in actually hand-drawn anime, things like hairstyles or eyes are not realistic because they switch shapes and locations depending on the perspective (like, both eyes always visible even when almost-sideways, or hair spikes switching from left to right when the character turns, etc).
I went to law school with a former ER doctor. When a teenager (<16) would show up in labor, he said there was a 30% chance her child's father was her father too. The doctors duty was to the patient(s) and breaking up the family by reporting was not in her best interests. The prevalence of DNA tests is going to make such coverups impossible.
The French system he’s talking about is more a contest than an exam. They are intentionally too hard/long for anybody to score perfectly. This way it’s possible to differentiate between two excellent students. Not saying it’s perfect, but at least it’s sort of fair.

All these security headers seem like a terrible idea to me, shouldn't security be the default - especially if it breaks insecure websites?
I would consider it part of US history, it's simply what was there before the US as today was established.

European history doesn't start where the last government was established either, it goes back all the way, regardless of who happened to think it was their country at the time.

The state inherits history.
AI in Io: Examples how to make use of it
Concurrent with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament was a campaign against nuclear power. Older readers may remember the 'Smiling Sun' logo with 'Nuclear Power - No Thanks' written around it.

The 'Smiling Sun' logo took a different 'intellectual property rights' path to the CND logo. The creators sought copyright protection so that nobody co-opted the idea in nefarious, money making ways that violated the principles behind the logo.

From a fashion marketing perspective a CND logo is easy, it can be slapped on the cheesiest of hippy style fancy dress outfits and sold for the wearer to vaguely go along with it, 'in character' rather than living and breathing the principles and ideas behind the logo.

But the Smiling Sun logo hasn't entered mass consumer culture at that level, in part due to the copyright protection. If you had the logo in your window then quite clearly you really do believe in the cause, it is not a mere decorative element that projects a certain cool vibe.

More details of the Smiling Sun logo and how the licensing works can be found on their website. There are lessons to be learned from the fortunes of their logo in contrast to the CND logo for those writing free and open source software:

The rise of Twitch has shifted the participatory culture around gaming. I look at the community building around Nintendo's Super Smash Brothers Ultimate for the Switch. A game that doesn't even come out until November mind you. And I see an industry that is designing LAN party style experiences into gameplay from the get go. Obviously much trickier to do in VR.

Games, and star players, even have their own fandoms, just like popstars. There are cosplayers. Memes. Entire startups built around the transmission of short-form video "headshots" from live replays.

For VR, an intrinsically solitary experience. It feels like swimming against the tide. Some colleagues of mine started an actual bricks-and-mortar style VR Arcade at a large suburban mall. They even have the full sensory deprivation pods for total immersion. And while they get quite a lot of foot traffic from curious spectacle seekers willing to experience the shock of the new. Its a completely different customer base than the old school PC cafes of yore. Where teenagers would rent a tower and 24" CRT monitor for hours to play Counter-Strike or Starcraft.

One interesting historic event for VR coming up on the horizon is the debut at SIGGRAPH of Disney Animation's first foray into the medium.

It's no surprise it's not mentioned in the US.

Oh, interesting. Completely managed to miss that, thanks!
Sorry, I learned the term from this essay (https://siderea.livejournal.com/1159765.html) and assumed it was a correct usage.

To be clear, though, while moving to a new society will cause quite gradual, passive assimilation, I wasn’t really talking about that case. In such cases, you still tend to think of your old community as “your community”, and might e.g. seek out an association of expats from your old society to hang out with, since you still share their mores.

But moving to a university, or joining the military, or joining a cult, or going to prison, or marrying into money—these are communities, not societies. They actively “digest” you. In all these cases, you are given new connections who serve as both direct role-models for, and judges of, your current degree of assimilation; and, further, you are usually striving to assimilate as quickly as possible (whether you’re there voluntarily or not) because your lack of cultural awareness is one of the things keeping you back from having status and power in your new community.

Would you not call what any/all of these entities do—one of the major roles they perform for their members—enculturation? If not, then it seems that I have misunderstood the term.

(Tangent/side note: I didn’t make the connection of prison-as-community-that-assimilates until I was writing this. Isn’t the whole goal of reducing recidivism better expressed as “reducing the potential for prison to serve as an enculturating/assimilating force upon prisoners”?)
Coopting is the best alternative to any recruitment process. Best hiring are made like that. The cost is minimal. I know a bunch of people I can recommend. Just ask me (people in C++,JS,Go,CL and Python).

Quitting coal is easy, people just don't want to accept paying more for their electricity as well as the NIMB folks that are anti solar, nuclear and wind.

I would happily pay 5x my current energy costs if it meant we could not only halt, but begin to reverse, the damage we've done to our planet.

If we just outlawed the construction of new fossil fuel plants and put timelines in place to take them all offline, people would get over having solar panels on the roof of their neighbors house and be much more inclined to stop listening to lobbyist nonsense about how 'dangerous' nuclear power is and we'd see facilities popping up as fast as they could be built. You can safely bet you'd start finding a lot more energy efficient appliances, processors etc too.

Sure, nuclear still has disposal issues and the sun doesn't always shine and the wind doesn't always blow but it's better than what we're doing now... I'd rather have some site in the desert full of radioactive waste than to have 4/5 of the planet turn into desert from increasing heat.

I wonder what the correlation is between the price of a university degree and the percentage of humanities majors. I imagine it's much easier to justify an education in English Literature when it doesn't cost $70,000 or more.

At the same time, I know people who majored in English who ended up working as security guards and package sorters. There just aren't many jobs that require that skillset anymore, thanks to the internet. Not many editors, copywriters, or reviewers are necessary when there are millions of people willing to do it almost for free online. Digital publishing has made writing into a free for all. Almost all that is left is teaching which requires separate credentials and very low pay for long hours.

It’s dilution at the same time as money is literally injected into the company. Say a company valued at $100M issues 10% more shares at the same time as it receives a $10M investment (10% of its value), thus becoming a $110M company. In theory, the existing shares lose no value in the process: $110M * (100%/110%) = $100M

Of course, there are always disagreements about valuation and strategy.

Because since the cost of a phone has traditionally bundled into your contract, and prepaid plans just aren't a thing, even the most expensive phones look "cheap" month-on-month - so nearly everyone with just a little disposable income has a flagship Android phone or an iPhone because they can mostly afford it. Americans think of things as costing a certain amount of their budget per month, rather than pricing their total costs, due in part to the relatively easy (and normalised) accessibility of credit.
On the other hand: The GoPro 5 is only 20€ for a month, perfect for a vacation.

How F5Bot Slurps All of Reddit
> The news, ultimately, is just stories. It's not a definitive or objective account of what's happening in the world, it's just industrialized gossip with a veneer of legitimacy

Or it may be that people have a hard time to figure out what matters at any given moment in time - you never quite know how a news item will play out - will it become part of History or will it turn out to be just another detail? go figure when it is happening...

Maybe grandparent is just right: when it is all happening people may be more honest than after the fact, when positions are clear and everyone has to justify his own stake in the grand puzzle.
I’m really surprised at the limited scope through which the hacker news crowd is looking.

Good news: your centralized pie where you’ve put in tons of time, and built up a huge amount of credibility is safe!

Cryptocurrencies/blockchain shouldn’t, and likely can’t, “disrupt” most of those industries. A glance through some of the industry reports in the comments shows an immense amount of work done in these respective industries. The value is in the edges.

The important thing to think through, critically, is how we’ve organized ourselves as a species, and how that orientation has changed over time. Do cryptocurrencies / blockchain offer a superior way for individuals to organize themselves around a specific network? There are some interesting questions there, and I think if we can answer those questions, the interesting applications will emerge. Right now we’re thinking of how to slap Web 2.0 onto blockchains, which, though interesting, isn’t going to bode well for anyone. Because the status-quo is superior (from performance and pricing perspective), and works well for most.

Store of Value, currencies, and financial instruments are appealing; those are applications in which humans have to orient themselves around a centralized power structure and believe. Switching the focal point of trust from a large institution (or government) to a decentralized network is an interesting thought exercise. Also think DRM.

Folks are comparing things to the 90s, but that’s a tired dog. You’ve really gotta look before that. We’re still in the installation phase, and I don’t think we’ve quite gotten to the dot com phase of this journey. That level of frenzy is yet to come.
Having a theoretical plan for how to architect such a thing even in principle would be a pretty useful indicator.
