I see a lot of criticism about particular parts of this one bill that seem to skip right past the larger potential value here: worker rights are actually being discussed. Just having that discussion is a step forward and should be encouraged, to improve whatever we can.

Furthermore, nothing is ever perfect so don’t lose a chance at some benefit just because not all of this particular bill may be practical.

> if you're a male driver in Saudi Arabia your driving privileges are unimpaired by the novel legality of female drivers.

Your right to drive is unimpaired, but the privilege of driving that you enjoy most definitely is.

Most movements to expand rights to new groups are opposed by those who would thereby experience a diminution of their privelege (which is always relative).

This is also why you have the wealthy so often opposing policies that will create more wealth for everyone including themselves, because those same policies reduce their relative advantages.

Nuclear. That's the point of the endless drone of climate change articles. To convince you that something must be done, and that maybe Blinky the three eyed fish is actually kinda cute. They really don't have any other solution waiting in the wings. Renewables have never been enough to meet global demand. It has to be nuclear. You're okay with radiation, right? Cool, let's do it. Nuclear.

I think this may be a thing with Thai restaurants in general; it's not just spiciness but also level of fish sauce and even the way the dish is prepared. There's a thing in Chicago about "secret menu" Thai restaurants, which are often written in Thai language (food nerds in Chicago have translated and published them). It might be possible to order things "Thai style" in any good Thai restaurant and get a different, better dish.

This will encourage development of console (text-oriented) apps for Windows, which I hope will be much simpler. Interfacing with the console can be really difficult if you're coming from *nix. Ideally all the WIN32-specific code in, e.g., jq[0], could be ripped out.

Nowadays, if you really don't need a server, then don't spin up one. In this case, the author does not need a server.
If you think you might need to do some backend processing, see if you can use 'serverless' functions and offload the admin work to someone else.
If that doesn't suffice, maybe something like App Engine.
Still not enough? Ok, so maybe a AWS batch job (or equivalent). Does it have to run all the time? Then maybe a container managed by ECS or similar.
None of this works and you need an actual VM? Fine, spin up one. But now you have to care for it and keep it monitored, patched and secured.

I've been reading about cuisines and it seems that Korean can be pretty spicy. Not got a chance to try it, except a dish or two (bibimbap, IIRC, and that was not hot). I like the fact that they use a fair amount of sesame seeds and sesame oil, based on what I've read. Got to try it more some day.
Nice. Someone actually used Literate programming to write something useful :-). The ferret org-mode info is very readable.
Might make sense to have a card or phone app that basically says "This user has a tolerance of blahblah, and is fully qualified to eat spicy food"
> Treating the wavefunction as physically real is perfectly reasonable.

What's your justification for that? I remember Arthur Eddington pointing out that it could be interpreted as modeling our limited knowledge of a quantum system just as well as its 'physical reality'. But there's obviously justification for the first one, while the second one appears to be a large unjustified leap.
The very next paragraph after the one you quoted makes it sound not quite as serious as you think:

> SEC probes take months and sometimes years, and can be closed without legal action against a target if the SEC decides the evidence doesn’t merit filing charges.

So at worst, it leads to a criminal investigation, and at best it's just something the SEC spends time/money on for a while before deciding to drop it.

You’re generally on the right track, just off slightly. In the scuba diving world 1.4atm partial pressure of Oxygen is generally considered the maximum safe partial pressure when working (ie swimming). 1.5 atm for rest. This makes the depth limit for regular air to be 216 feet. Though there are a lot of divers who dove deeper than that befor trimix became so common.
> not their argument

It's a direct quote from their comment.
Battery breakthrough: Doubling performance with lithium metal
That was just a simplified example. "SELECT COUNT(col) FROM ..." has the same problem: from the virtual table provider's point of view, the query you submitted is "SELECT col FROM ...". There's no way for it to avoid retrieving the data even if it has a faster way just to count it. This is just one small example -- the virtual table interface is just too simplistic to support a lot of real-life scenarios.

Another good example is joins -- they aren't pushed down, and SQLite can only do joins as nested loops. All you can do is stream raw data into the SQLite engine and allow it to perform the join, even if you can do it more efficiently yourself.

In my case I was passing queries to another database engine, so every single thing that could be pushed down to the virtual table provider, I would have been able to take advantage of. But not enough stuff is.
Pockets cost money to make, and therefore could be removed to cut costs if buyers do not value them. Do men value pockets more than women?

Speaking as an owner of very few items of clothing, just one item with inadequate pockets causes a lot of inconvenience, so my tolerance for them is zero. Manufacturers of inadequate pockets can wipe this segment right out of their market - although I only have evidence to confirm segment size of 1.
I believe technically it requires lower bitrates to maintain the same quality (as mp4 etc), as opposed to just having de facto better quality. The lower bitrate is what results in less bandwidth usage.
SQLite has 64 bit integers. In fact row ids are 64 bit by default since version 3.

I don't think I'm exactly in your target market, but I have a related problem: We cook a lot of healthy foods at home (e.g. skinnytaste), and Indian recipes are the only ones that never come out.

I suspect it is because we never get the spices right. We went to an indian cooking class many years ago, and the woman who taught it hand ground all the spices herself. The results were amazing, but who has the time?

If you had a service that coupled premixed spices with recipes that use them, that would have been really exciting to me.

We can already buy various pre-made pastes/mixes at the grocery store, but they are really unhealthy.

If we could get the spices, then have control of all the fresh ingredients (meats, veggies) and also all the unhealthy ingredients (salt, anything with fat, etc), that would be attractive to me.

I know that is not what you are doing, but just for the future (a) spices are cheaper to mail and shelf-stable (b) the spice mix is probably the secret sauce of what makes it taste good, and it is difficult to duplicate in my experience (c) leaving the other ingredients out would allow home users to follow either a healthy recipe (fat free yogurt) or special occasion recipe (heavy cream!)

Anyway, FWIW, when I read the first lines of your description, that is what I was hoping for.

I interpreted that one as emotional/psychological vs physical pain.

I was still wrong, because I categorize them differently (not that one is necessarily easier to deal with than the other).

In the end it comes down to semantics either way.

Jack Dorsey says he’s rethinking the core of how Twitter works
I still almost can't believe that he'd be that reckless. He must have known how such a move -- and especially the "funding secured" tweet (where he doubled down with the going private certain pending shareholder vote) -- will be received but the SEC.

Nothing gained, but instead an SEC investigation, numerous lawsuits, and even more short selling than before.
That's awesome. Jealous. Have a drink for us 60 hour a week people in America.
Between this and his "pedo" comment I worry Musk is simply not sleeping enough. Even worse, he may be taking drugs to keep up the pace.

I've been following him for 10+ years and never worried about his judgement until these incidents. Taking Tesla private is probably the best possible path because it would relieve a lot of the pressure on him.

>This leadership philosophy is very different from traditional Western ideals of leadership...

The crux of the issue. You can't label a western leader with an eastern ideology and thus "make it so", that's called lying.

Actions speak louder than words, and labels aren't needed to prove reality.
I'm sorry, you've misunderstood. I'm fully aware that you can query it more efficiently, and in fact that's the point. If you're writing a virtual table provider, SQLite does not provide enough information about the actual user's query for you to know that you can do it more efficiently. There's no way to know that the user wants a count at all; the count function is not pushed down into the virtual table provider interface. SQLite only tells you that it needs you to retrieve every field in every row. You can't know that, in actuality, SQLite only wants to count the rows.
My wife and I have very different pain thresholds. A few days ago, I was stung by a bee. I told my wife about it after a while, and she was shocked, asking if I wanted a pain killer, but to me it was just a curiosity. To her, a bee sting is a relatively major source of discomfort.

You can't grade pain on an objective scale based on what caused it. It's a subjective experience, and therefore if you truly imagine it, it exists.
I'm just getting started with STM32 and this was very informative. I especially liked that you chose a minimal example and walked through the tool chain in detail. It's important to be able to read the compiler output for debugging and optimization and this presented it well. Thanks!

However, why not mention or explain the widely available and extremely affordable ST-link2 or the ST Discovery boards? I suspect that for people just getting started with STM32 these would be more common.
I don't think I disagree, but I'm confused by your clarification. You mean that all three managers should perform all roles; some sort of managerial council?
In the same way as nes.party that i posted here last week(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17720786), this one supports playing SNES games in multiplayer!

Pulled a similar maneuver with solarcity just before profitable revenue could taint the red. Repeating the same shit with Tesla.
One possible approach is to relax the gate-keeping guarantees, so that every "wait for email and click the link in it" exchange allows the user to create one new account which is not scoped to their work-email address but simply associated with the company-name. (Like almost all privacy, this requires some basic "we're not recording that" choices by the social-media site.)

During the creation process, the user gets the option to set a non-work email for password-recovery etc.

The main risk of this scheme is that a single jdoe@acme.corp could easily create a thousand sock-puppets or "give" new accounts to people who don't work at the same company.

This can be minimized by only allowing a corporate e-mail address to be used once, but that does mean keeping lists of which users in a given company happen to have accounts, even if a direct email-to-account link doesn't exist. (It seems pointless to hash the "already used" emails for privacy, since the search space is so small.)
Self-Sovereign Identity: Is This the Real Life or Just a Fantasy?

"For example, the visualization could slowly gray out states that are not visited. In that way, the student could get a feeling for concepts like recurrence etc."

You know, this is actually a good idea. As long as you didn't set any transition matrix elements to zero, the chain will have a stationary distribution that is given by the lead eigenvector of the transition matrix. If you gave each node a score when the chain passed through it, that eigenvector would manifest as the "score" accumulated by each node over a long period of time.

This is one of the cool, deep properties of the chain - and it's not "insight-free" in the same way you describe.

One of my favorite examples of this is the plinko game at the Museum of Math in NYC:

It's a physical manifestation of the central limit theorem, realized by a series of balls that can go either right or left in a random walk downwards. You can even adjust the bias on the left/right choice to supply drift to the random walk. The mass of balls that accumulates in the bottom is a histogram representation of the associated limiting Gaussian curve. Very cool.
Former CMU grad. Happy to see this. Wish you all the success in the future!
The paragraph you quoted applies equally to police investigations. They can also take "months" and don't always lead to prosecution. Would you say that means police investigations are therefore generally "not serious"?

The key factor is the strength of the SEC's potential case, and several experts believe it looks strong:

> “The release issued earlier Monday clearly raised at least as many questions as it hopes to answer. The probability that there will be an SEC enforcement action is, I think, quite high,” said Joseph Grundfest, a law professor at Stanford University and a former SEC commissioner.

> Other experts agreed. John Coffee, a securities and corporate law professor at Columbia University, said the SEC can credibly argue that Mr. Musk’s tweet last week, which caused Tesla’s stock price to jump 11% the day he posted it, didn’t give shareholders the full picture they needed.

> “This is a clear statement that he has nothing more than an expression of interest as opposed to a binding commitment,” Mr. Coffee said. “It will tell the SEC that they have a virtually open-and-shut case if they wish to sue.”

I can't speak to other companies, but I do know my [unofficial] experience interviewing (on both sides) at Google.

As an interviewee, you know that you're going to have a handful of different interviewers. What you don't know is how much of an effect each of those interviewers is going to have on the hire/no hire decision. Is one bad interviewer enough to torpedo you? Two? And you have no idea what kind of questions each interviewer will ask. So, let's say only 10% of interviewers ask these kinds of questions (I'm guessing that's low). That's a ~41% chance that you're going to have to answer this, and if one bad interviewer is all you need, then you'd be foolish not to prepare just in case.

As an interviewer, we're given surprisingly few guidelines on how to interview. You take a one day class, then shadow half a dozen interviews, and that's it. We aren't given specific questions to ask, and specific questions get banned all the time (any time they're "leaked" as a Google interview question).

Once someone is hired it's really hard to force them out, so approving someone who talks a smooth game but can't back it up is extremely costly. I've seen teams get stuck with multiple people for well over a year because it takes a long time to get them out, they won't leave willingly. Meanwhile they're taking up headcount and letting them actually touch code is dangerous. In fact, I've seen teams spend an additional engineer training them to the point where they are productive, just because that's cheaper.

So you want people to actually prove themselves with some kind of an algorithm question, but you get no real guidance on how to provide these and you constantly have to come up with new ones, but they have to be the kind of question that take less than 45 minutes to explain and solve. I have no doubt that some people fall back on these kinds of questions.

Yeah, I get that these questions suck, and I try not to be that interviewer. But as an interviewee I would consider it extremely foolish to not brush up on it, just in case.

Note that C++11 std::mutex and C11 mtx_t require a single total order of operations on the mutex, which means acquire plus release pairs equivalent on lock/unlock. That is actually weaker than acq rel write.

POSIX requires memory barrier in addition to that on the pthread pair, making it get more different, and both major C++ library implementations defer to pthreads.
