What pants are you wearing? I can easily fit my girlfriend's 8+ in my Levi's pocket below my X, which I often do since she often has no pockets. The other pocket has my wallet, airpods and a small flashlight with some room to spare.
Coming from Poland I had a very similar fist impression when I started living in-and-out in Italy.

Nevertheless at some point I started thinking: Maybe these guys are right and I'm wrong? Maybe there's more to life than this "fight for survival" and I shouldn't value my ability to do so so highly?

There's a level of, for lack of a better word, satisfaction I see on people's faces daily in Italy that I know I won't achieve, because I was born in a poor country in a rather poor family and had to claw myself out of poverty.

I think it's precious. I wish my (future) children lived in a world where they can have, like my SO likes to put it, "two youths" - one spent on doing personally meaningful, fulfilling things, and the other doing what's necessary to live an independent life.
I'm interested in their reasons for not using an R-Tree or an R*-Tree for the index. I know they mentioned the debate in this post but I'm quite curious how they arrived at their decision. Have they done performance tests with both methods? Many other high performance applications use R-Tree based structures, and I've always been under the impression that R-Trees usually outperform Quadtree style indexes in PIP queries.

When I work 13 hours 3 days in a row my employer still expects me to show up for the remaining 2 days of the week. If I had a fixed 40 hours week I would be done and could recover these 2 days. I also don't get more money for working more.

> I'm starting to notice a trend whenever I engage with economics on these matters. In fact this pattern shows up every time, it's like they are trained to do this.

I could say the same, in that I notice a pattern too. It's like HN commenters are trained to engage in extremely facile criticisms of fields that they have little knowledge of, understanding of, or respect for, and then reject any substantive critiques to the contrary due to their lack of understanding.

> It starts with an acknowledgement that the theory is stylized beyond any practical purpose, or that it is merely a pedagogical "tool"

Nobody has said either of those things. They've said that it's a model. As Box famously said, "All models are wrong, but some models are useful". The key to using a model, though, is understanding its scope and limitations - where it does not apply, but also where it does, and in which ways.

> They then point out that any fault I see with economic theory and/or methodology must be my own failure to understand the material. Like, sure, go read Varian or Mas-Colell's tomes before you try to bring up anything wrong with elementary supply-demand analysis. It's worth noting that they never go out of their way to explain what the supposedly superior methods are. To me it's just moving the goalposts

Nobody's saying that you have to do doctoral research in order to discuss the limitations of elementary supply-demand analysis. It's just that the critiques you're bringing up (in this thread, but with this pattern more broadly) are somewhere between "not very interesting, because they have no relevance or are mitigated elsewhere", and "based on complete misunderstandings of the fundamental concepts at play".

Ultimately, it ends up something like the physicist from XKCD #793.

When people refer to China, they are referring to mainland China which is about the same size as the continental US, and not a small island about the size of Vermont.

As I understand it, when the Germans occupied Paris, they saw it as a key prize and were keen to keep its culture alive, at least superficially. There was a fair amount of prestige in sending home something refined. Imagine--if the city lost its luster, the perfume and garments the soldiers sent home to their sweethearts wouldn't seem quite so special! The fashion industry continued to operate, with styles changing seasonally, another thing besides regional differences for the SOE to contend with. Only a spy would sport last month's hairstyle!

It also meant an opportunity for Section F members operating in France. At home in Britain, clothing was rationed, but as recounted in "Carve Her Name With Pride" (about Violette Szabo), "Out shopping by herself the next day, she went to Molyneux, the famous couturier in the Rue Royale, which, despite the German occupation, was still carrying on.... Here she bought, as her bill dated April 28th, 1944, shows, three dresses and one very attractive jersey. The bill, made out to Mademoiselle C. Leroy, states that one of the dresses was of black crêpe de chine--it was draped with a lace neckline and cost 8500 francs.... Another of the dresses is set down as 'en écossais': it was a red plaid dress. The third was of silk print. The jersey, described as a golf jersey, was yellow in colour. The total bill, with a purchase tax of 11 per cent, a municipal tax, and a 'Taxe au profit du secours national' of 5 per cent, came in all to over £200."

It's strange to think that between blowing up bridges (probably not literally in the case of spies in the city), the agents could go on a shopping spree in Paris's posher establishments.
Either way, it's not a universal truth. Some of us work hard on this (probably because we came across Confucius in our youth).

- How does this process work?

- How long does this process usually take?

- When was the last time that you chose a ticketing service?

- What parts did you experience as pleasant in this process?

- What parts did you experience as unpleasant in this process?

- What requirements do you have when it comes to choosing a ticket service?

- Why is it important for you to find a ticket service?

- What is the hardest part when it comes to finding a ticket service?

- Do you do anything to make it easier when it comes to finding a ticketing service?

- Which ticket services have you used?

I have been working on a project called Shareseer. Shareseer was born out of my pain of finding company filings as I was learning about valuation of companies.

Another frustration of mine was reading boilerplate text when I read the company risk section. So I applied some machine learning & Natural language processing to extract the unique risks. The way to access it is to visit https://shareseer.com then search for a company name or ticker. You will find the 10-k/10-q filings along with risks marked as important by our algorithms. Alternatively you can make a query to https://shareseer.com/search?q=NFLX and replace tick with your desired tick. Analyzed Risks are available for the S & P 500. Filings are available for all companies. The other features available are a real time insider transaction feed and a company filings feed:

http://shareseer.com/today/insiders

http://shareseer.com/today/filings

It would be great if you could give the application a spin. I'm trying to learn:

a) Is this useful to you as an investor?

b) What are your pain points today in your research process?

c) Any other feedback you may have?

I think it’s cool because it allows any investor to improve their due diligence when buying an individual stock. It reduces the gap between what the people on Wall Street know and what the average joe investor knows. The insiders filings are an entire day faster than what major brokerages offer today. The risk analysis is unique too.

It's a growing recognition - a lot of the 90s commentary around China was, in my recollection, essentially mediated by genteelly stated Yellow Peril racism and fear, much like the 80s fear of Japan. Along with a fair dose of anti-Communism - reading the old Leninist & Stalinist ideas for world revolution into the CCCP.

The 2000s have allowed, in my opinion, a more mature understanding of China with less stereotypical hyperbole. I expect part of that is the commercial and cultural interchange, part of that is time, and part of that is the Internet.

I also think there's something of an ideas stagflation in the US, against which China might be considered to be a bright spot in the world.

While it is nice that MS is focusing on console and command line now, it seems to me that you are mostly working on improving compatibility with legacy UNIXy stuff.

Do you have some vision or plans to go well beyond the classic UNIXy style of console and command line? I'm thinking in the lines of projects like DomTerm http://domterm.org/ which could have nice interactions with e.g. PowerShell.

Interestingly, that was the only one I categorized differently from the authors—I could find a meaning for it. It's not an aphorism in the same way as the others (I'm not clear on whether that was the point, or just whether the statement had to be meaningful in general)—but it could be interpreted as follows:

Something has 'abstract beauty' (as opposed to concrete, surface beauty) through some conceptual significance it contains; however, once you look more, there is a deeper hidden meaning to the concepts, which changes the beauty into something else.

I might have otherwise been inclined to agree, but the framing of the original story I think wisely spends at least a little bit of time -- maybe not 30% -- discussing the para-political and social issues surrounding this, not just the scientific and technological issues of the transplant and the human story of Katie's recovery.

I think it's wise for the original article to discuss at least in passing the access to guns that allowed the suicide attempt to happen, the drug crisis that leads to there being any young donors at all, the donor waitlist situation and the choice to become a donor, and the DoD's involvement, and I'm glad the comments do as well.

I do agree that the comment you're responding to directly probably isn't the best kick at the can, though, and so to the extent that you mention the parent comment needing to resist the urge, I think the urge that should be resisted is the urge to have a driveby comment on a volatile subject, not to bring in related social/political issues.
There are a lot of other reasons for wanting to freeze eggs besides wanting to put your career first.

I know women who have gone through chemotherapy, and froze their eggs before their treatment. I imagine there are a lot of other drugs and medical produces that adversely effect eggs and aren't covered by traditional health insurance. There's also family obligations, rather than career 'obligations', or simply working now to save money for family later. I don't think this benefit is a one-sided item.

Summary of the first Vue Sprint
Because SQLite is often the right tool for the job, more so than Postgres and MySQL. It scales insanely well and requires minimal configuration and near zero administration. I try to use SQLite for as long as is feasible in my projects purely because it "just works".

Don't let the "Lite" fool you. Depending on your needs, you can scale to 10s of thousand of users using just SQLite. Or not! It is all about knowing your system and properly evaluating your options. I choose to use SQLite because it often fits the use case of small to medium projects the best.
When Midwesterners complain about how spicy something is, they're not talking about the pain from the capsaicin. They're referring to the unusual flavors from backing spices like cinnamon, coriander, cumin, turmeric, clove, cardamom, paprika, fenugreek, bay, et. al.. These are not "hot" spices, but people still have issues with them.

Because it’s hashing an item of fixed size. This is specialized for 32 or 64-bit integers. clhash supports arbitrary length strings. There is a performance cost for that generality.

It's more than that. Hemoglobin will preferentially release Oxygen in low pH (acidic) conditions and take up Oxygen in high pH (alkaline) conditions. CO2 in the blood increases acidity, so the result of this behavior is that hemoglobin will release Oxygen in parts of the body where CO2 concentrations are higher and will pick up Oxygen in areas where CO2 concentrations are very low. If you hyperventilate then you remove CO2 from your blood, reducing its ability to deliver Oxygen to tissues due to reduced acidity. This conditions, called hypocapnia, leads to vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the brain, which can cause even lower Oxygen uptake in the brain, as well as bronchoconstriction. This can cause you to blackout and can, in combination with the mechanism you've described, result in decreased ventilation when breathing resumes.

Has a similar, very cool, reverse engineering analysis been done with peripheral heavy microcontrollers?
> The counter is maintained by the ATECC508A chip

In the u2fzero implementaiton, the counter is not used internally by the ATEC5508A in the signature generation. It's merely used as stable storage.

It's used much like unix advisory file locking. As long as you are not using it adversarially, it will work "correctly".

Once you attack the device, it's absolutely trivial to use any counter value you care to, not at all connected to the (yes, secure-enough) counter internally stored in the ATEC5508A.

Apologies about my incorrect statement about any site's usage of the counter. I was mistakenly thinking about the allowance of the counter to increase by any increment.

Still, this is a weakness of the U2F spec. In fact, there is no spec for counter usage on the RP (relying party) side, just an implementation consideration:

> Relying parties should implement their own remediation strategies if they suspect token cloning due to non-increasing counter values.

So you, the conscientious user, would need to verify with each site that they don't allow the counter to reset. Well, you would need to if the counter were implemented correctly with u2fzero.
>It's far more socially acceptable for a woman to wear men's jeans than men to carry woman's handbags (speaking for the US).

Women's and mens jeans have different fits. Womans jeans tend to have a looser cut around the hips and butt for their waist size. And mens jeans tend to have a larger leg length.

Pants with a small cut will also be way more tighter on womens pants than mens. They also often have a much higher waist.

Men who wish to carry more than their pants allow can always carry a small backpack or satchel too. (which, if you know how to dress, will often count as a plus to your look)

> My issue is the false characterization as a patriarchal design choice ("patriarchy of pockets") as opposed to a pervasive fashion choice which nobody is obligated to participate in.

Women want pockets, it's a meme among women that any piece of clothing becomes 10x better if it has 'real' pockets (and even those are smaller, as this article shows).

Why don't women's clothes have pockets? I doubt every modern day fashion designer is horribly sexist, they just don't put real pockets on because it's 'unseemly' or 'unfashionable', but the reason they think that _is_ historically patriarchical. As the article does provide quotes for towards the end.
