My first advice would be: If possible use your time to learn React / Redux. As you yourself said, this is what the market is looking for. This will increase your chances of being successful. Although this seems like a bad idea because languages and technologies change, but you need it NOW, and NOW and what the market wants.

2 - Prepare your linkedin and set up a curriculum that will understand what you want at this point in your career, an idea would be in the summary part of what you are looking for to return to the area.

3 - Look for freelance jobs to get money and get some experience, this is a time to prepare your portfolio. There are platforms that provide this support.

4 - Make as many interviews as you can, but do with the thought of this re-learning to be interviewed. Study about selective processes, and celebrate failures. You probably will not be hired at the first chance.
See other comment here on the Ikea effect. That's part of it anyway. I think the other part is humans can get fetishistic about almost anything. It seems to be part of our nature. Unsurprisingly, it's shaped around computers for HN types. Add into the mix that the organisations which make the alternatives (Apple, Microsoft) really are bloody horrible, so that adds an ethical angle. If there's anything people like more than fondling their fetishes, it's finger-pointing at others for doing wrong.

So yes it's silly, but it's fairly strongly motivated silliness.
> Does a user "own" security footage in a store that they enter? Definitely not.

I recently visited the main station in Cologne, Germany. They literally had notices posted next to the time tables about CCTV being conducted and about your GDPR rights concerning CCTV footage taken from you.

While this wasn't a straight "you own the footage", they did acknowledge you have certain rights regarding the footage.
Haha. Yes, more importantly, the eclipse thing. Because no one else did that.
No it doesn’t. Non-energy related trade is basically nil.

I first heard Nardis around a decade ago and ever since it has always been one of my favorite Jazz pieces (if not #1). It was also my introduction to Bill Evans. When researching him I was surprised to learn Nardis was composed by Miles Davis but that there was never a recording from Miles himself.

However, until I read this article I never knew there was such a following around Nardis nor was I aware that Bill Evans had such an obsession with the song. There's something quite satisfying when you discover good music independently and only then slowly discover the existing culture around it.

> In fact, Sci-Hub has become such a commonly used tool for some scientists that they include Sci-Hub URLs in the references sections of their published papers. Ironically, there are even links to Sci-Hub in papers published by Elsevier, showing how dangerously useful it is.

Damn, I am impressed!
I'm glad he made a followup instead of editing the original. The two together make up a fantastic whole.
Sometimes that is indeed the case.

In other cases you need a full rewrite, and that is not good.

I wish I had Sci-Hub as a teenager. Many times I was interested in some algorithm, but got presented with Elsevier's "you shall not pass" page. Very frustrating to know the knowledge exists but being unable to access it with no recourse.

For me this is a more important purpose of Sci-Hub than for academics. If an academic wants a paper he/she can ask colleagues, check the library, email the author or other people in the field.

But what if you're a 17 year old, or an interested amateur? You don't have those options, or worse, don't even know they exist.
Right, I get that it can be useful, I was just interested if there was any indications of gitlab being used in NK. Considering Red Star OS (the NK linux distro) it wouldn't be unimaginable if there was a gitlab fork or a few gitlab.com repos used by NK.
Sci-Hub is so much more convenient than attempting to find things in my university's library system. There are browser plugins that let you click on DOI links, taking you directly to a pdf of the relevant paper.

For more recent papers, however, I tend to go to arxiv first.
Op clarified it was a Cessna 421, so indeed pressurized. When these are ferried they put fuel tanks inside the cabin (these are called ferry tanks unsurprisingly), so they were indeed within arms reach.
Although, as a sibling comment points out, that article is very old, I can attest to its continuing general accuracy, having interviewed there last year.

Although I didn't get a look at their financials, my overall impression is that they can't afford anything as extravagant as geographic distribution, absent a huge corporate sponsor or two.

Even a modest increase in donation revenue would be unlikely to make a difference, as the other impression I had was that spending in that area was far from a priority, especially compared with data acquisition/conversion projects.

I think it's great that the IA is attempting to be a broad, general-interest digital library, since nobody else is doing that.

However, I also wish for a separate archive focused specifically on The Web. Besides not being subject to distractions or competing interests, I speculate that it would be more attractive for web-dependent companies, such as Google or CDNs, to donate to.

Even for that, it's not the ideal layer. A basic connection should generally be available for everyone even if it's a rate-limited logically-separated segment that only provides internet access. Then if you want special treatment for a specific subset of users they need something on top of that, but only that subset of users -- notably not the ones who come and go all the time -- and authenticating them has no real relation to the WiFi. A VPN to an endpoint on the same LAN works for this. There is also 802.1X, IPSec, etc., which common operating systems already support.

Meanwhile the guest users should have their own external VPN to protect them from you, which they should only have to set up once for all networks.
As a non-academic who is interested in reading academic articles (and doing personal research), sci-hub is a blessing for those of us without university affiliation and access.

I thought that term "off the record" was meant to protect sources, not journalists. Whatever the term was expected to mean by both parties, it kind of comes down to what leverage either side has to uphold the verbal agreement. The journalist has a lot to lose if they agree to be off the record, then report on that information. Does Trump care at all that NYT is throwing a toddler fit over his comments? We all know the answer to that one.
How would one setup the certificates in a right way? I presume that needs MDM anyways to conveniently distribute the certificates?
The technology behind this (and Apache Arrow in general!) are really cool.

The HN submission title is much more clickbait than the actual content deserves. Any algorithmic improvement (in terms of big-O runtime complexity) can be scaled up to 100x by making the data set large enough.
When you really think about it, it's pretty enraging. How much human progress has been lost to academic profiteering? What could we have accomplished if knowledge flowed more freely?

I realize that it costs money to publish journals and papers, but the system that we have now seems broken.

Ah yes danger to the profit motive. I would say the real danger is third party using other people's research to pocket billions and denying legitimate access of the research to millions and billions of people. That's extremely dangerous.
I would assume anyone who uses Gitlab in one of these countries has already been using proxies for a long time, and that this is not going to pose the slightest problem?
Not so much "right vs left" as "warmongering centrists vs unorthodox pacifists".
> Good papers want good journalists that produce accurate content and can get sources, so do you.

For some definitions of good. I'm not convinced your definition of good and news organisations definition of good align well.

News organisations want to publish articles that will drive ad spend and subscriptions. You want to read articles that are factually accurate and quote original sources in full verbatim.

So called concatenative language is also a combinator-oriented language in a somewhat restricted form. Here are some historic examples of combinator-oriented languages: APL family and Backus's FP/FL (direct inspiration for the author of Joy). The fact that you denote composition of the functions with a white spaces is just a syntactic sugar. In the case of combinator-oriented language you work with various functional forms -- combinators, not just with composition, so you need to use more symbols to denote that. And in practice it's hard to find a concatenative language which would be used seriously, not just in a few hobby projects. In the same time there are impressive examples of modern combinator-oriented languages like Faust [1] and Spiral [2].

Still, the whole "concatenative" movement is interesting as a try to formalize the semantics and "improve" Forth language. See also Postscript and Henry Backer's articles [3].

It isn’t just depth perception that is improved with binocular vision, there is binocular summation, which helps improve acuity. Two is better than one. However as you say, stereopsis seems to be one of the least important parts of sight.

You might have an advantage with not being able to watch some 3D movies - you can tell your friends/family that a medical condition prevents you going to them.

I think the general point of decision is still about "personally identifiable information".

So my (IANAL) understanding is: If the data is somehow tied to your real life identity, it's protected. E.g., the headphone brand might be protected because it's uniquely associated with your user account which is uniquely tied to a real-life identity.

I guess, whether or not the facial recognition output is protected, might depend on whether you want to use it to identify the person behind it - e.g., if it's an identifier to a database, it might be protected. If it's an emotion score or eye tracking analysis, it might not be protected, unless it's associated with your identity by some other process.
Thanks. I'll have to update my tags.
I feel obliged to point out that a 17 year old and/or an interested amateur absolutely has the option of emailing the author, and will find most academics very responsive. I concede though that they may not be aware of the option, or might find it intimidating.

If the context (top-most) element is "em", the "in-em" shortref map is current (as per the second USEMAP declaration), which defines the replacement text for "*" to be "</em>", ending the emphasized text span. Whereas within "p", it's "<em>", starting an emphasized text span, and making "em" the context element.
Yeah, I get that. And I admit that Trump as a subject is relevant in this article.

Bottom line is Trump has a way of attracting attention, which only seems to help his cause. I was just venting a bit about how often we see Trump in the news, and how Trump as a subject has a way bringing good journalists down a level because they fall prey to biased reporting due to their personal views. Did this journalist really need to mention the whole eclipse-looking thing?

It's like celebrity news, I don't care (not much anyway), but somehow this information just finds it's way in front of me and into my brain.

> I won't talk to journalists anymore.

That was OP's conclusion
We are told that the host knows what's behind the other doors, which implies that the door he opens is deliberately chosen and is not random.

Additionally, to open the door with the prize would terminate the game, so to open the door with the goat is the only action that makes sense given what we know.
> An important component is to have recurring value. If you're a one-off source, you'll have a bad time. If you can convince them you're of long-term value, now you have mutual leverage.

So for the average person who might get contacted by a journalist once, infrequently, or rarely, probably the best advice is: do not talk to journalists.

If you're planning on making a career out of publicly airing your opinions in a professional capacity you'll probably want to intensively study how to deal with journalists.
You can run a Gitlab installation locally, unlike Github.

> Needless to say, such accurate recommendations of music, which even close personal friends have trouble doing, is based on building as complete of a psychological profile of the user as possible.

And then an innovative "security contractor" or "data research agency" makes a backroom deal with Spotify and copies their database of complete psychological profiles. Win-win?
Failing to vaccinate your child is actually child abuse, and should be investigated and prosecuted as such.

Those of us in academia are (mostly) pushing hard for open access policies. We want our work to be disseminated as widely as possible! What makes it difficult is that publications and journal reputation are still used as a measure of success for promotions, tenure, grants, etc. If you have a finding that can be published in Nature or NEJM, it's really hard to go elsewhere out of principle, when you know that it may hurt your future prospects.

This thinking is slowly beginning to change, and the rapid growth of preprints in biology is helping a lot as well. There is growing recognition that journals in their traditional form may not be a great thing for science. There are a lot of different ideas about what the future of publishing and scholarly communication look like, and lots of experiments are being done right now.

Isn't the anti-vaxxer craziness self defeating by definition? Eventually these people would die out leaving the reasonable ones to live in peace. Am I missing some obvious reason why we can't simply allow stupidity run its course?
Yes, by me locally within a 30 mile radius. There's a few mom & pop style Computer Repair places, but I'm not expecting them to have an inventory. There are actually 3 Fry's within that 30 mile radius, but I don't even consider Fry's anymore. They are pretty much a joke to me at this point. CompUSA and other such big box stores were worth my time and money back when I had no money.

Why I Left Point72 for Crypto Investing
Because I don't want my kids getting sick and dying because other peoples' ignorance negatively impacted herd immunity?

edit:

Just going to point this out: this comment thread has multiple instances of people on the anti-vax slant showing that they either don't understand what herd immunity is, or don't understand that vaccinations are not 100% and are only effective on large populations due to herd immunity.

Again, I argue that education would make the anti-vax problem go away.
Sadly, no, because lack of herd immunity will hurt everyone else as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLUzwT9tWxY

I would also say that the blooming "bookz" (ebook scanning) community around a decade ago was instrumental in making much knowledge accessible, especially to those in poor or developing countries who wouldn't be able to afford even a single book or access to a library with them.

Now, LibGen serves a similar purpose (but there's lots of stuff elsewhere that it doesn't have either...)
Herd immunity. "Herd immunity is a form of indirect protection from infectious disease that occurs when a large percentage of a population has become immune to an infection, thereby providing a measure of protection for individuals who are not immune."

Incredible writing by the Author, Steve Silberman.

Evans was such a tragic figure. It's hard to reconcile his lifestyle with the beauty of his piano playing.

I'm going through a similar obsession phase with the earworm "Blue in Green"; another Miles / Evans collaboration.

Evans was both a student and master of a framework that simultaneously combined chromatic melodies, complex rhythms, and non-standard chord progressions... a formula that ultimately haunted him to the grave.
What's stops people from publishing in both?

What if they do have complete information? If you had spies working at all levels, you could create your own parallel version of the end result all the way down to the silicon level. Then, you would actually do the modification at the silicon level, to make the backdoor hardest to find.
The main problem I think the author of the article is trying to convey is that a lack of rational discussion may end up leading us to a situation where we potentially harm people with vaccines because we are shutting down any real understanding about the risks.

And then the result of that would be a ton of new anti-vaxxers, which would be bad for everyone.
What matters is, that you cannot run it on another OS,

But as Microsoft has just shown, you don’t need to run “thier” emulator to develop on another platform.

because Apple does not supply one. You cannot supply your own,

Yet Microsoft did just that....

because the emulator/simulator/whatever has to run Apple code inside, and you don't have permission to distribute it, even if you had the inclination to make your own emulator/simulator/whatever.

Microsoft had the inclination to do just that....

So OK, Microsoft made an agreement and can now provision iOS packages. They had to find a way to test-run them somehow, and their solution won't allow you to write against native frameworks, only against theirs, which they can run on their platform.

So first you said that thier was no way to run on any OS, you couldn’t write your own emulator, etc. but now that I’ve shown you that you can do all that, now it’s that you can’t write against the native frameworks.

Guess what? You can’t write the same binary against different versions of Linux.

In the 1950s my dad, a USAF pilot and Korean War veteran, did a tour as a ferry pilot, flying (among others) single-engine fighter jets over the North Atlantic ... in winter. He recounted that he and his squadron mates were naturally concerned about losing the engine, going in the water, and quickly freezing to death. They kicked around the idea of doing what legendary fighter pilot "Robbie" Risner had successfully done for his wingman in combat in Korea a few years earlier: Get behind and push [0]. During the Vietnam War, a variation on this idea became known as "Pardo's Push" [1]

This method is extremely slow. You have to spend 15 minutes to write a nice email just to get a paper three days later that after looking at for five minutes does not appear as helpful any more as you hoped it to be. Sci-hub is much more efficient.
What do we do with these children? I admit my sample size is tiny but my anecdotal evidence from the few people I’ve talked to who went through the foster care system makes me believe in the meta that the majority of children are best left with their parents.

I would rather require vaccinations for all children and remove a parent to have any say in the matter. I would also rather have everyone be opted in to become an organ donor upon death with no opt out possible. Sadly, I don’t rule the world.
You're only allowed to publish in one.
When you submit an article, you're normally specifically asked to confirm that the work hasn't been accepted / isn't under review elsewhere.
For quite a while AWS and cloud were basically synonymous. It took years for others to get in the game. And they're still playing captchup. Because of this quite a lot of 3rd party software targets only the AWS. I mostly hear about Azure and GCP in terms of discounts, deals and the likes.
A few possibilities:

1. Vaccines aren't 100% effective. Unvaccinated people are a threat to vaccinated people.

2. Vaccines aren't an option for 100% of people. People who choose not to vaccinated people are a threat to people who can't be safely vaccinated.

3. Information, including misinformation, spreads more quickly than death does. It won't die out due to natural selection.

4. Losing half our population to infectious disease, even if you consider them stupid and irresponsible, would have catastrophic effects for the economy.

5. A majority of the effected population are children.

6. Maybe, just maybe, letting millions of people just die of preventable disease, even if they're adults and made a foolish decision, isn't the right thing to do.

> Players are not allowed to talk and must instead utilize non-verbal cues (like delayed action) as their primary tools.

No, I don't believe that's the correct interpretation of the game. The rules are pretty clear about all forms of signaling being forbidden, not just verbal. The only communication the rules allow is saying "stop", after which all players place their hands on the table and remove them at the same time to resume the game.

Now, you might say that without non-verbal queues there is even less of a game here than this article describes. And you'd be right. There is literally nothing to "The Mind" except every player (explicitly or implicitly) counting time at the same speed and synchronizing up either after a card play or a "stop".
Anti-vaxx is probably culturally transmitted, not genetic. Either way, most unvaccinated people don't die of contagious diseases, so it won't "naturally" burn itself out.
Can confirm, managers do back-door reference checks about former employees (if they know somebody) but nobody tracks rejected candidates. I think this is healthy because false negatives are so common; anybody can have one bad day, including interviewers.
