Big changes since I was there about a decade ago. I had a $1300 stipend as a CS PhD student, and rent for a modest studio on pacific avenue ate up about $750 of that. I was 2 blocks from the beach.

Pacific Avenue is the main strip downtown, and is relatively nice. In retrospect, I was getting a bargain.

Notably, non science and engineering grad students got smaller stipends. So it was tough for them even then, hopefully the university has raised their package since then.

I’ll also add than non-cs grad students did not get lucrative summer gigs to soften the blow. 3 months at Google can make life much easier the rest of the year.
Have also tried it and failed miserably. A lot of it is situational awareness (what's the state of the "help-queue"? Which students are not doing what they should, etc.), knowing everyone (name, who they are, struggles) etc. All things I can't do. If everyone feels seen by the teacher, that helps a lot.
A lot of people use chrome because it has the best security according to a lot of experts, including here on HN. It’s reasonable to complain about a drift in functionality that spans the web to native gap in my opinion.
A while ago I switched to Vivaldi. I have never been happier with a browser.

I think by "just in case" he meant in the case of needing them therapeutically not recreationally.

If you have the self-control the idea is having some in case you fall and break your arm or something(Obviously only for serious injuries).
Many would disagree with your definition of the 'fundamental job of the government' Nozick's Anarch, State and Utopia provides a relatively good argument for why that would be.
The US has to pay to deal with the recycled paper, and I'm pretty sure it was cheaper to pay to ship it to China. So why not ship it to India? Container ships are very cheap.

> I note that people in USA have chosen plastic packaging for many applications.

Because it's cheaper. Taxing it fixes that.

> more children dying of starvation.

Geez, use the taxes to subsidize the paper packaging. This isn't all that difficult to figure out.
I have a theory about this which is that there are certain recommendation loops or "attractors" that you basically cannot escape without manually flagging videos as "not interested", disliking, manually choosing an entirely different topic, or taking many days off of the platform.

I'm pretty sure this is true. However, there is one more effective around this. You have to go back and delete your history. I have one youtube identity I maintain for exactly one interest (call "interest X"). I have to essentially scrub everything not related to that from it's history or more and more unrelated crap will appear reliably. Basically, even watch 10% of something means recommendations jump up to 50% of other things even though I have a looooong history of just being interested in interest X.
The KDE bugtracker has a few users, I think pinex and pino, who actually read almost every bug report, test, and clarify.

Proof-Of-Stake Is a Rebranded Version of the Old Financial System
The areas in question are areas tied to physical activity. They've been lying in a bed for a decade. It's not surprising that activating areas tied to physical activities is difficult.

I'm curious if the same fatigue would be present if the Yes/No responses were tied to critical thinking activities (though those are obviously more ambiguous to detect).
I thought I had this experience years ago, I'm surprised this is only happening now.

I use an email app (just regular Mail on the mac) to access my Gmail. Your email is stored and synced locally so it is accessible offline, and you don't get these shenanigans. Also I use Firefox.

But let's be honest, even if you aren't logged in, and aren't using Chrome, at this point if Google is not recognizing you it is only because they are pretending not to. I'd bet they have a pretty good record of my internet activity.
Yeah that seems... implausible.
Local residents’ objections to new housing often stymie new development, and Santa Cruz is running into the same problem. The university is years away from building a planned 3,000 campus housing unit, but thousands of local residents have already signed a petition to stop the development, notes Curbed San Francisco.

Not only funds, but it would require a shift in the attitude of the locals towards such buildings.

This happened to me yesterday on Windows too, to add another datapoint to your sample set.
Actyally there is another tax too, not mentioned. The company is paying something called Employer tax which is about 100% of your sallary before the working tax.

So you get 30k before tax, 20k ends up on your account after tax deducted per month, and company pays state 30k more on top of the other 10k.
> every state of a system can be distinguishable and thus have small entropy

Which corresponds quite well to the fact that the entropy of a pure state is zero (since S=−tr[ρlnρ]). Entropy is better described as a property that arises between systems.
I am trying to trace the problems back to Larry/Sergey though. I am thinking of getting rid of the malware part to make it a bit shorter BTW.
Discussion of Algorithmic Specified Complexity
It's kind of upsetting the first thing you think about is sexual assault. If they can't be trusted to share houses with students to they point that they'd assault them, they probably shouldn't teach them.
Some do. Usually it’s not part of the standard curriculum, so it’s not very common.
Can you imagine listening to your doctor and loved ones discussing taking you off life support and you're just not able to move? Then a lot of times, they just starve the patient to death, thinking they're basically not feeling anything, so then you starve to death while your family sits by your side. That's hell. We need to do a lot more research on conciousness and what makes a person or "animal" have that spark.
Just noting that ray tracing doesnt belong to anyone and article is taking shot on real-time ray tracing hype recently deployed into daily hardware.

> Their reporting will never support going against their own best interests.

Even if that's true, wouldn't their budget be the only thing that applies?

If you could guarantee that NPR/PBS/BBC/CBC/ABC was a completely independent entity, publicly funded but otherwise completely divorced from the government, then the only issue with which they would have a direct conflict of interest would be themselves / their budget.

That seems like a much better situation than what we currently have, where only large multinational corporations fund media, and therefore almost everything is a conflict of interest every single day.
For your hypothetical, that research would probably explain that averages in lack of achievement are likely to be caused by the intelligence differences, instead of some unconscious bias. Yes, I think it would be useful because it helps ensure that inaccurate conclusions are not drawn.
I wasn't saying don't use it. Just don't pretend the price you're paying for it is null. Chrome is the most (relatively) secure browser.
Chromium was previously downloading a binary blob on its own, which is a bit upsetting:

It's true that features of similar or greater complexity do tend to work pretty well already, but those features tend to be the ones that are practically fundamental and used everywhere. (edit: but I have hit bugs with scheduling too- and maybe tessellation and anisotropic filtering, but those cases were weird enough where it was hard to tease out the true cause.)

Ray tracing has a good shot at getting there (and probably in less than 5-10 years), and developers who can afford the suffering will hopefully pave the way, but early adopters should be very wary.

To be clear, I'm not catastrophically pessimistic. I intend to do some work with it, but I'm not under any illusions. I once encountered five distinct blocking driver bugs in the span of a single week. I just assume everything is broken until proven otherwise.

In theory this is true, but Google almost certainly does that anyway using any number of alternate methods.
I never use chrome except with gmail and other google services where I have an account. I think there's a market for this kind of systema.

I'm surprised anyone privacy minded still gets concerned about Google as they've been pretty open about everything since the launch of gmail. They give you free stuff in exchange for ads.

Chrome must send data, even if you aren't signed in. Google has a shadow profile for you anyway, so if you use chrome, you're logging to google.
What about this, as an immediate remedy, how about the state and the government (on some hypothetical day they care about this) incentivize sending students to other schools across the country, and then investing money into said schools to improve them?
1-2 star reviews can also be fake (paid for by competition)
It's the same in the USA. The percentages are just different. In the USA, if you are quoted $100k salary, it costs the company about $120k+ (depending on how you account/include things).

Yes, it complicates things, and makes comparisons a bit more difficult. But it makes sense.

In the USA, depending on the company, you will have to add in healthcare as a "cost to company". That's basically included in the Swedish taxes.

Plus you have to normalize culture and employee protection/rights.

In the USA it's not abnormal to get 2 weeks of vacation per year, less than a week of "paid parental" leave, and be expected to be available to answer emails while you're on your paltry vacation. You can be fired at any time for any reason or no reason (in most cases and states you are an "at will employee")

In Sweden, this work:life balance would be preposterous. Employees get 6+ weeks of vacation a year, over _1 year_ of _paid_ parental leave, working healthcare, subsidized childcare, etc. You cannot be fired without cause and notice.

In the USA, other than social security (which is another topic), employees get very little back for their taxes. But we have a lot of wars to pay for.

You need to look at the big picture when you compare these numbers.
I'm skeptical offshore banking started with the brits in the 1940s. Wikipedia has banking starting around 2000 BC in Assyria and later ancient Greece. They also had islands with shores and I'm sure someone figured they might avoid hassle from the local rulers by taking their money to another island.
Blame Hollywood. This is like the whole "Black people die first" thing that still continues to go on.

Hardly something new. That was going on since around 2005:

>Google tried to establish ties with Russian government in period of 2005-2010. We are talking about nothing less than first person accounts of people involved, certifying that Google was sending all kinds of "consultants" to Russian political establishment, training them in online campaigning. Simultaneously, pages of Russian political opposition did disappear in Google's search. In light of recent events, this should be subject to much scrutiny.
And if you didn't have to give consent, you can object to your data being used anyway. They then have to give a credible reason that counters your objection. I mean, technically the law says you can only process data iff you have a purpose for it and must delete it when you no longer have an immediate purpose for it so I don't really get why there is a separate provision for this, but we all know how this goes (you don't make money by deleting data so nobody is on top of it) so I'm happy that provision is explicitly mentioned. (Disclaimer: besides IANAL, I'm also not actually sure if this was in the text of the law or if this was on the local regulator's site.)
I deleted my Facebook account a few days after I opened it. Just not worth it.
Well from the nvidia perspective that's exactly the point. If they figure out better techniques later they can just implement that in a driver update if everyone's using DXR. If you use your own low level thing they can't upgrade it for you.

This causes a few other problems. For example I use Hangouts Chat (chat.google.com) on my Google Apps account, and I also have a personal gmail. Ever since the change I have to log out from my personal gmail to use Hangouts Chat, because it is looking at my Chrome account and telling me that I'm not part of the organization. I can't switch to the Google Apps account at all.

Absolutely agree with your points. Especially given some of the recent high profile settlements regarding sexual misconduct at UCSC these emails seem poorly thought out.

> The real solution is to build more affordable student housing on or near campus, but that would require funds from the state government, which is unlikely to provide them.
Within the UC, all the housing must be self-funded; it needs to make enough money from residential payments over its lifetime to cover construction/maintenance/services.

With UCSC in the bay area, construction is incredibly expensive. This means that the campus literally cannot build affordable housing for students. They are currently building a 3000 space complex (currently held up by NIMBYism, but that's another topic) and the "cheapest" they can build for graduate students is around $1200 per month for a bedroom in a 4 bedroom apartment. Given that the graduate students are being paid ~$2000 a month this isn't a great situation.

UCSC is really in a bad spot. Either the state needs to stop mandating blanket enrollment increases across all campuses or it needs to step in and force Santa Cruz to build.
It censors “leverage” though. It’s funny how universally “bullshit” these terms are considered to be.
Veterans are fine but engineering moves on, as does medicine, the legal profession etc.

Sure. But they all move slowly and deliberately, mostly through careful evolution of good practices as new evidence and reasoned analysis become available. We don't throw out everything we've ever known about how to build reliable bridges every six months because someone thinks that suspending a paper bridge 200 sheets thick from orbiting satellites instead would be cool.

True game-changing developments do happen in software development, but they are quite rare. Most progress in industries like web development is illusory, and it's only a successful illusion because they people who have been around for a while and seen 99% of it before in other contexts have left.
To think Google ( doubleclick ) and their competitors ( aggregate knowledge ) and others in that space arent already associating your browser history with your identity is a bit naive.
These are commonly accepted theories. It would be like citing Darwin every time you talked about evolution–nobody does this because you can easily do this yourself if you were in the unlikely event of being unaware of the science behind it.
No one has ever gave you feedback on your teaching because you've never surveyed your students.
Wait, there’s no conservation of energy?
Long distance passenger train travel in the US is unreliable and relatively expensive. I've had trains that are 9 hours late to arrive, effectively cancelling the entire trip.
Really? Perhaps 10 years ago, but Chrome is pretty ok when it comes to security. This eval that is Google's top result in search [0] has them tied for 6 out of 9 (5.5) and Chromium is better for security.

Selection in the paper operates at the individual level. The groups are only a convenient abstraction to determine outcomes at the population level. You can think of group membership being determined by carrying a specific allele. Then the number of individuals in a group is just the frequency of that allele.
Yea, the machine is on a T2large EC2. It just got too much server requests I think. Some haven't been following directions too, like giving empty requests for lyric generation, and for some reason that doesn't reflect programming, it's crashing my EC2.
This is why setting up user profiles is handy in chrome. Keep one for work, one for home.
What they mean is to log into the sync feature which is part of Chrome .
Or even just other UCs. Merced/Irvine/Riverside are not experiencing housing crises at this level. Sending more students to UC Santa Cruz is just irresponsible.
Sexual assault is only one of the many kinds of sexual misbehavior that happens at universities. Even consensual relationships between students and professors are problematic. There are a lot of degrees of sexual misconduct between consensual relationships and physical assault to worry about.

Maybe this could be solved by having platform doors that open in all the required positions?

You could either add extra platform doors or make platform doors that are wider than the train doors and open part way to match the train.

Unfortunately, if cars have different lengths, it increases permutations a lot. But you could handle even that by building a wall made entirely of doors (staggered on two door tracks), so the gap between any two doors can open up to any desired width.

I built https://www.pagerline.com/ to be the “core product” that Pager Duty use to be. It doesn’t have an app; you just create a team, invite people, they add their phone number, and when an alert triggered it txts a link to the alert and rings your phone. That’s it. No app. No ticketing systems. No VC pressure to bloat the thing.

Would love feedback from folks on here about it or what they’d like to get out of a “core pager duty” product.
It's a little more complex than that. The metric I've created is built on an existing literature of self-similarity matrices vis-a-vis music, though at this point I suspect it's been dead due to the rise of GANs networks for signal extraction. If you have any suggestions of your own on how to objectively compare generated elements, I would appreciate the opportunity.
It probably is not a bug

Though "Chrome integration" with Google is pointless at best and an awful user experience.

I made the mistake of logging in w/ Google on Chrome mobile. Resulting in all my bookmarks being synced on the phone (because of course I want my desktop bookmarks on my phone. Obviously. Thanks Google). This is a mistake I'm not doing again.

Do people who lease out their homes on airbnb regularly assault the tenants? Do they regularly have consensual relationships with them? I'm aware they may be an issue, but it certainly hasn't been as much an issue that it made the headlines, the most common issue I read about is airbnb raising the ire of neighbors and local governments.

You're making the argument that there is something inherent in professors that makes it more likely they will engage in sexual relations with people, which is problematic and strange.
Possibly wildly unpopular opinion: Offer relocation to academic staff to other UCs and sell the UC Santa Cruz property to developers, upzoned, and reinvesting the proceeds into the UC school system. It increases housing available, and it's financially beneficial to UC (which could buy up land for student housing around its other campuses, insulting it from this occurring in the future).

Sometimes you have to retreat when the sea (of rising property costs) is invading your costal property.
The variance you see in car crash risk among groups of people is far smaller than the risk of health problems. No drivers have a 100x genetic risk of crashing. The worst case of "new young driver" is already discriminated against, after all, but they can still afford insurance.

This really doesn't matter. Float happens to be of similar magnitude to profits. It could be significantly more or less. I'd say it's more of a coincidence than anything whenever the two align.
