Wow, if this is how it’s like to see three dimensions then where would one be able to hide information to the viewer? Probably another dimension. By moving an object from one location to another the information about the position in the previous states are lost. And information about the future states remains hidden. Alas, present states conceal everything hidden behind them, or ahead of them.

If I were in your position, I would think either this VP has got something personal against me or may be they think I am not suitable for this position. You've been stepped over thrice now. Why not just have a heart to heart with this VP or his boss and directly ask them. Then decide what to do based on the answer.

Personally, I would have left after the company failed to keep their word the first time.
Sure! But I had the 4k bike to also use for races. It's not like I would buy a 4k bike just to sit on a trainer...

But a "cheap" but reasonable bike is at least 500-600, and with a $1k kickr.. you are pretty close to Peloton prices

This isn't an issue with traffic, but city planning, not allowing pedestrians to actually have the right of way, and poor policing of laws.

You can build tunnels and overpasses for pedestrians. Button-operated lights for walkways. Strict laws requiring vehicles stop for pedestrians. Planned speed bumps. You can route traffic away from paths kids would likely walk. Do things so that it is more reasonable that kids will be safe in neighborhoods, even if they are playing in the road (at elementary ages, of course, when they are old enough to be aware). You can also have more public green spaces within a child's walking distance where they can play outside with others and make sure school grounds are open for play when school is not in session instead of calling the police for trespassing.

OK I'm a parent who stays, actually its not that bad, we're friends with most of the parents and its a good time to catch up and chat.
OK, then I don't understand your question. I'm not an expert, so perhaps I'm not in a position to understand, let alone answer, but it's worth clarifying in case someone else can step in.

Suppose we have two problems, A and B. We have polynomial time transforms between them, so they are considered "equally difficult".

In reading and re-reading the thread it appears that you (pl) are talking about having a "fixed parameter tractable algorithm" for one of the problems, say problem A, and you (sng) are asking if the transform then provides an equivalent fixed parameter tractable algorithm for B.

If that's the case then I don't know enough to answer, but my feeling is "probably not in general".

If that's not what you're asking then you might like to be more specific.

In either case I suspect I can't add anything useful.
Absolutely, everyone knows that AMP pages are ranking higher in Google and are rewarded. We are getting requests for it at my job for that very reason. We even have contacts at Google that will schedule AMP calls with you and build the pages for you. It's no secret. I unfortunately have to do it for our customers, but privately I view AMP as a Google controlled cancer on the web.

Yes, and I think this just shows how a 3d representation on 2d gives our brain the _illusion_ of 3d. This doesn't work for 4d, because our brain doesn't have an internal understanding of 4d objects.

I recall this happening; in fact, I though she was wrong when I read the original article.

After many years, I finally understood where I made the mistake. It's not stated explicitly in the wording of the problem, but if you point this out explicitly, nearly everybody changes their mind:

When Monty Hall opens the door, he has to pick one of them, and he has knowledge of what's behind it.

The way the problem was described, I didn't appreciate that.

It wasn't until one of the groups that wrote in to support Vos Savant explicitly said "since some of the students in the class were skeptical, we wrote a simulation of the problem, which output the probabilities you would expect if Vos Savant was right." I inspect the source code, and viola- instantly understood my false assumption about the problem description.

It's an open problem whether the Monty Hall problem should explicitly state the implication of which door Monty opens. To me, I think the whole point is that it leaves one of the consequences unstated, and the reader is expected to make that indirect inference.

This only works for simple cases. Where this breaks down is when you have to inspect the current state of the DOM before deciding what changes to make to it. Example: scroll an element into view if it is not already visible. More examples: drag & drop, interactive resize, etc.

It's not a conspiracy theory, I've worked with Google engineers over the phone and email for an agency...and this is one of their pitches. They now will even help you build the AMP pages, or just build them for you.

There is one close to me in the DC area. The biggest thing is that they have just about everything you would want a computer/electronics store to have ... machines (PC and Apple), components, networking gear, highend gaming peripherals, hobbyist electronics/computers, repair services and a bunch of other related products and toys. Sometimes at work we are looking up server components for an upgrade/replacement, network switch and I think even rails for a server once then realize microcenter just down the street has it at about the same price. Most of this stuff just isn't available anywhere else in one place except online at this point.
I guess that makes some perverse sort of sense.
Thanks for the link. After reading it, given the current political climate in Universities, I'm genuinely surprised Baron-Cohen has managed to retain his position after publishing a theory like that.
It takes two is what I've found. I build software on a System76 laptop running 18.04. That's pretty much a perfect dev environment with the advantage of physical function keys -- kind of essential if you spend lots of time remoting using byobu. I keep a MacBook for Keynote, business docs, conferencing, and to carry to customer sites for presentations.

When I developed on a Mac, it used to be nice to have an integrated environment. I really liked having the iPhone/iPad/Mac ecosystem available even right on my working dev laptop. But dropping function keys, along with longer update cycles, indicates my workflow isn't Apple's priority. I've found the transition really easy, and I now think of Apple devices as appliances, not computers I can program, which is what Apple wants me to think anyway.
Ahh, Nurture vs Nature..

Of course two children could be totally different. But you cannot deny that the influence you have as a parent.

I gave the scenario of my mother-in-law, and her two daughters. My mother-in-law is 1 of 3 sisters, a very anxious person. Her two sisters polar opposites. Their mother a very calm, very hands off parent. Right there is a great example of your point. 3 children, 2 similar, one the same.

Now where it gets interesting, is my mother-in-law had 2 daughters... both as anxious as their mother. Where my mother-in-laws two sisters, whom are very laid back and hands off as parents. Their children are also laid back and relaxed, much more so than my wife and her sister.

This is anecdotal for sure, but so is cherry picking comments from online and drawing a conclusion.

I'm not saying that my comments are 100% accurate, not even close.. I'm saying in my observations this is the driving factor in the parenting choices I've decided to make for my daughter, and no one else's.
Wow, your work (GUN) is really great. I hope you don't mind me asking how it works in layman's terms? Thank you for your work.
(Also in The Netherlands) That depends on what you want, where you have it done, and how you plan it. I usually just iMessage or call the nearest APSP or Apple Business thing whatever-it's-name-is, tell them what the problem is, and we'll have a same-day contact at their location to run it to ASD2 and order the parts at GSX, we take the hardware back and as soon as the parts arrive, which is anywhere between 1 and 4 days, we get a message or call for a same-day repair. And that's the construction for one-off issues; for business use we just migrate the user to a replacement laptop (i.e. using Migration Assistant or Time Machine and a TB2 or TB3 cable), which takes about 1 hour and then the user is done. On our side, we then mail it to whatever service provider we have under contract and we'll get it back once it's done.

I suppose the difference in handling is that other vendors often have a wide open parts chain, and Apple doesn't. You can't buy them as a consumer or user, and as an APSP or AASP you can only get parts when ASD2 says there is a reason to, and you can only order them via GSX. In some cases, for example when it's a big item like a screen assembly or a mainboard, you have to send the item in first. All of that stuff takes time, and for many users, that is a reason to get next-day AppleCare support so you don't have that problem. You just get a replacement sent or someone at your door. Yes, that exists, just like with Dell and HP.

Spotify doesn't work perfectly in Linux, and it's always lagging behind and does weird things. Take for example a locked screen with spotify in the background. When you wake the screen and log in, Spotify often decided to curl up in a corner of the screen because apparently it tried to get the screen size from a locked, sleeping screen, which is 0. Or maybe it was one of the 10 API's between Spotify and the screen data it wanted...

How is a choice a "hidden" oppression? I can see an argument for algorithms suppressing certain world views being a problem...but as just a stand alone choice, that is not real oppression. If you think it is, you've probably never lived in an oppressive country. China is essentially stack ranking citizens for access to certain rights and you're concerned about people's viewing habits. We've gone generations of people claiming the same things about radio, TV, music, etc. In the end those were replaced or the next generation wasn't as attached...actual oppression is sticky.
Regulatory capture is terrible.

Another example: Once I needed some court records. Not surprisingly, they're recorded in proprietary format, only playable with a proprietary media player, and all to enormous cost to the taxpayer, all while applicable state law demands these court records be open access to the public.
The only thing that has changed is that people aren't having as many kids and are starting later. Having 5+ kids wasn common 2 generations ago. Older siblings could take care of the younger so parents didn't have to stress so much. If a kid died due to an accident or disease it wasn't so bad, relatively speaking.

Compare that to a 35+ year old couple with 1-2 kids. They have to handle everything and worry because if something happens they don't have another shot.

Helicopter parenting is just a natural reaction in western countries caused by reduced fertility.

I've had other parents explain to me that if you run to your child and make a huge fuss, that they will react as such. So in future if they fall and don't hurt themselves, they will cry.

Does Standard Column Width of 80 on Coding Make Sense in 2018?
I'm not sure that could practically work. The problem, is that translucency would allow only a partial view of concealed voxels. As more voxels cover something, the translucent effect compounds.

Additionally, most voxels would appear different with different view perspectives. Due to more or less voxels covering them.

The problem is that in 4D all voxels are visible to the viewer. So viewing a 4D apple would allow you to see the apple from all possible view points simultaneously, including interior views.

To me it just doesn't seem possible to replicate this concept in 3D VR.
How curious. What would a haptic VR experience be like? Does a 4D object still exert mass in the other 3Ds? Could you _intuit_ the other 3Ds even if they were not visible?
I think you can't. The problem is that we don't actually see 3D, we basically see 2D twice. This gives our senses enough info to reconstruct a 3D mental image, but the information we gain isn't truly 3D.

Actual 3D-sight might include us seeing the inside of objects, what's behind them, etc.

We're aided in converting our 2x 2D sight into 3D mental models through the use of color and parallax. In projections on images, it's easy to just use color and get rid of parallax, and still get sort of close.

Suppose we tried to make a 3D projection of a 4D world, we don't actually get any significant new tools. We're still going to be limited by having to use parallax and color. This doesn't allow us to add enough information to add that 4D projection into 3D as neatly as the 3D into 2D works. At best you could try to distribute the information somehow. For example by giving information about the third dimension through brightness and the fourth dimension through hue. It certainly wouldn't work nearly as well though.
Ask HN: Are social logins apart from Google and FB necessary (for my site)?
Hi,

I run a forum (just starting out < 100 users). I have Google login (along with the traditional email signup).

I googled a little bit and found out that about 83% of social login are Google and FB.

https://techcrunch.com/2015/01/27/facebook-dominates-social-logins/

The forum is custom built. I don't have the luxury of clicking checkbox and enabling an extension. I am planning to add FB login shortly. Is it okay that just ignore the other social logins?

Notes

[1] After i enabled google login i find that almost all new registrations use this option.

>- White / grey would still exist but be less common, as a lot of white / grey light would now be close to a new receptor

Granted, our trichromatic vision is likely adapted to the scenery of this earth. We are most senstive to hues of green for instance. That being said, all things equal, wouldn't new grays appears with the new cone sensitivies just as the old grays would now yield a color response?

>- Probably more distinguishable shades in the rainbow

What I'm curious about is those pure hues we perceive that are infact the result of composites of wavelengths. Those equalities would break up. Two things that were once, say, equally orange could suddenly have different hues in the new mapping.
Unable to open the article at the moment, but likely it got replaced with a Broadcom. macOS has a very limited set of supported wlan drivers. It is ofcourse not ideal, but understandable (and related to the issue of drivers for macOS in general).
How does traffic staying flat after disabling AMP feed a conspiracy theory? That seems like a counterpoint.

And to the various other comments, Google's position that they are very open about is that users become accustomed to AMP sites being so fast that they start to favor them, so the click through rates should rise with AMP. If true, that seems entirely fair.

AMP is fascinating to me because it's something we can't discuss with any honesty at all. Instead it's over the top rhetoric where people with their outrageously abusive and unwelcoming sites complain that AMP is unnecessary because they could, like, make their site less abusive if they wanted. Any notion that AMP doesn't solve a real problem is just a non-starter derived from fantasy.
It’s t least worth a shot.

Those "9/10 times if a guy approaches her without due cause he's got sexual intent" is a actually just a stereotype which if we actually measure it would shrink down to single digit percent. Male sexuality is commonly over exaggerated and part of the expected gender role, with female sexuality in contrast has the opposite expected gender role. Since no one want to perceive a man as being outside his gender role we attach this assumption of "horny man", in the same way we attach "innocent girl" to a woman. When a man approach a woman both gender roles and expectations are applied and thus we get this perceived situation.

It’s great that kids feel safe in Tokyo. And I understand the reaction against helicopter parenting generally. But the arguments against helicopter parenting never discuss how safe things really are, or if the rates of child abuse have declined (or are under-reported).

Recently I saw a report on Chikans (gropers on trains in Japan). The report suggested that almost every young woman experienced this (in particular high school girls).

Couldn’t believe it. I essentially thought it was bullshit.

So I asked the Japanese women who I know well enough if this was the case.

They confirmed that it happens to everyone once or twice (though uncommon).

It’s almost never reported to the police.
