Not only that, many factories are 24/7. So not only do workers have their weekends scattered throughout the week, but they have their shifts scattered throughout the day/night. The same for certain retail.

But many do not do this, as well. It all depends on what the production target of the factory is and how much throughput the supply chain has. I think those factors tend to determine this much more than worker satisfaction.

In my personal experience, I worked at a factory that would typically run two shifts, so 16-20 hours a day in production (variable), and the third shift overnight for maintenance/cleanup, 7 days a week. But if the prices were high enough for the product at the time and the supply was in place, it would run as close to 24/7 in production as possible.
What usually ends catching my attention is bikes filtering to the front, starting faster after the red light (possibly because they're watching the light closer), and getting ahead of the cars in the lane. Then once they're ahead, switch to the middle of the lane and blocking all the cars from going faster.

Basically, the complete opposite of letting cars behind get ahead.

As for left turns: that car behind you (when you take up the whole lane) is your shield; the opposing car doing a left turn can't go because that other car will T-bone them. When driving, there are few enough bikes that having to look for two lanes (even though only one is marked) is the unexpected thing, so I'm actually _less_ likely to see you. If you're blocking the car behind you, I'd actually look for you to figure out why the car is so far back.

The bikes accelerating faster thing is the excuse I've heard before for the bikes filtering at the red light; apologies if that's incorrect.
If that is the case, can you please point out the hate-mongering present on Vice? Because Breitbart is full of it.
This is pretty neat, but I think the shredded part would have been much easier/clean to make using linear-gradient, instead of having 1 div per shredded piece.

For the question "How does one acquire knowledge?", I recommend Kant, Hume, Russell, Carnap, and Popper, for a start.

Because statistics are meaningless nearly no one surveyed actually lived under Stalin or spent time in the gulag.

The thing you're missing is that it is learned insecurity that is associated with the biochemical changes, and that by doing the work to unlearn the insecurity as the author did you can reverse the biochemical changes. You can't make the statement that the biochemical changes are the cause of the insecurity, only that they are associated with it. And that's very important, because an "if-then" statement does not imply the converse. That is, if you reverse the biochemical changes you do not necessarily make the learned insecurity go away.

A broken leg is way less complicated than the synapses that form your perception of yourself, and far better understood. You can't really conflate the two without committing a logical fallacy. Treating the broken leg and the brain changes as identical in complexity is akin to treating the construction of a rivet the same as the construction of a Boeing 737.

The fact is that you can change, and you can feel better, but you also have to put in the work to change yourself. It's the hardest thing you will ever do if you grew up in a dysfunctional family because it requires you to deny years of your experience in favor of the received wisdom of how the world really works, and not everyone can do this. But if you do the work the reward in the end is that you're not permanently crippled by addiction to psychiatric medication.

The Appalachians are pretty interesting. From afar, they look like gently rolling hills (with a few exceptions.) Then, if you try and climb those hills, you'll find extremely rocky trails and lots of cliffs.

If you hike on the west coast in say, the Cascades, the mountains look steep and rocky, but the trails are much more gradual and dirt covered. It was a huge surprise to me after moving to the east coast.

My own personal theory is that since the Appalachians are older, the mountains are simply crumbling. Instead of being huge rocks, they're huge piles of rocks. That, combined with having way more precipitation to erode the topsoil away makes for the more rugged trails on the east coast.
Ask HN: What do you do to improve every day?

>Just because you have control over a platform with millions of users and can make changes doesn’t automatically mean you can do no wrong at this point.

Reminiscent of Digg v4.
Do you mind sharing what "everything else" you tried included?
I disagree.

It is the sender who is in control of the format. You have to ensure you’re sending something that the reciever will understand.

Good receivers probe and negotiate a better format but ultimatly it is the sender who is responcible for the communication.

Between peers I think it is more acceptable to require more negoatiating the format but in a manager -> employee dynamic (or any other power imbalance) it is the managers responcibility to be understood.

Reliquishing that control is disempowering and stunts personal growth IMO.

I think my view point requires a specific belief about peoples ability to do things and grow. Without that I can see how judging others for their ability to understand makes sense.

I believe in people though.
In Ukraine, we sometimes have these discussions about moving to a Latin-based alphabet. Some even try to come up with their version of it.

It always winds up either as something ugly with a lot of diacritics (like Polish/Hungarian) or having a lot of double/triple-letter sounds (e.g. `sh` instead of 'ш', `ye` instead of `є`, `shch` instead of `щ' and so on).

Thanks, but no, I'll take our 33 funny Cyrillic letters over a Latin alphabet.

Conversely I actually kind of like this; it's far too easy as a Brit on the Net to end up with a US-heavy worldview and supply of news. If it's really of global importance I should be able to get it from local coverage or some other route.
You can call it a fad, but the truth is that they had and still have the opportunity to build a real business.

The reality is that despite how seemingly old the internet is, we're still in the relatively early stages. There aren't that many companies globally building content systems at scale and working through the challenges of what that means - at scale. Those skills in an organization are extraordinary valuable as old media starts to crumble and information infrastructure on the internet becomes the new fundamental fabric of society - moreso than even today.

I know that sounds a bit grandoise but that's the thinking behind the big bets behind companies like this. If Snap can just get some experienced, less impulsive leadership in place - they can still build an extremely valuable global media property. 180mm daily actives is no joke.

As you can tell, I'm skeptical of Snap in it's current state of management but I'm bullish on social media overall.

Bias isn’t an issue everything has bias in it but in your case it wouldn’t be really hard to figure it out, East Germany was objectively a police state while it might not have been as bad as worst case for everyone it was never a paradise.

There is a difference between editorializing and fabricating complete nonsense and unless you are looking for facts to reenforce your own bias it’s not hard to distinguish between them.
Yeh, for sure. This was a quick little hack and I suspect my original thought was that I would animate each piece, hence the individual elements.

Apologies in advance if this is somewhat off topic, but I have some pushback against the title of this post.

No disrespect to Diplomacy, I think it's a great game. However I would respectfully submit that chess might have a stronger claim to being "the board game of the alpha nerds". (Or go, arguably, in the eastern world. But despite go's supremacy in terms of complexity, it hasn't captured the world's imagination like chess has.)

There's a reason why chess scenes always pop up in movies and literature featuring, e.g. criminal masterminds vs Sherlock, or the venerable doctor teaching strategy to the protégé. The reason is, chess (rightfully or not) is universally recognized as the quintessential game symbolizing human intelligence.

In my opinion as a former competitive chess player, chess skill actually isn't correlated with general intelligence, in the sense that if you're smart enough to get good at chess, at some point you realize that there are more worthwhile things to be doing with your time. But that's neither here nor there.

My main argument is that if we did a vote among all the world's "alpha nerds" to determine who is the alpha-est and nerdiest of us all, I suspect that current world chess champion Magnus Carlsen might place higher than any of these Diplomacy masters. I have no idea how this survey methodology would work (could anyone declare themselves an alpha nerd, or would they need to be confirmed by other nerds with official titles in nerdy activities?), but you get my point.
> I see medication as the nuclear option. It's important to have it in reserve, since it can work, but you should try everything else first

For many people this isn't an option - medication is required to even get them to a stable enough baseline for other treatment options to be effective.

Views like this are very unhelpful and help to perpetuate shame, which can prevent people that need help from seeking it because the treatment doesn't line up with the views, morals, and general opinions of the people around them.

Statistics which are built on a state fabricated lie are meaningless when you objectively try to understand the history of the USSR the only thing that is meaningful is is just how bad the transition period is remembered and how well the current propaganda machine works.

It’s also interesting to see just what is driving it, countries like Estonia and Lithuania are EU countries which greatly benefited from integration with western society while the rest of the Russian vassal states were left to fend for themselves and essentially lost what little power they had even if it was only power by proxy.
Diplomacy sounds unique, though, because it takes so long to play. In shorter games I might betray you and you me before the night is over. Also, maybe the length makes it eel like there's more at stake?
As part of a company in the residential proxy space [1], I just wanted to point out that this type of proxy is used in a very different way than low-end VPNs. Residential proxies tend to much more expensive, and this results in them being used almost exclusively for legitimate business purposes. It's even a standard practice to go through a KYC process before obtaining access to residential proxies in order to ensure that they'll be used responsibly.

VPNs are often used for piracy, SPAM, and other nefarious purposes while residential proxies are primarily used to obtain access to data through web scraping. Large companies like Google are able to scrape the same sites without getting blocked already, and proxies help to level the playing field between innovative startups and established players. I can certainly understand the critique, but I strongly believe that the existence of residential proxies results in a lot more good than evil.

Philosophers have given their answers to some of these questions. But - as absurdly as it sounds - the answers are not the main point of philosophy.

I would say, the main point is learning to ask these questions better. That includes:
- getting a deeper understanding what the question means
- learning how to assess candidate answers
- learning which answers are wrong, and for which reasons
- finding out what difference it makes to know the answer (sometimes it doesn't make any difference)
Java will be getting value types in an upcoming version. C# already has value types (called structs). The JVM also does escape analysis to avoid heap allocation when it can.
Would this work as a complement to SPARQL? Or are they completely orthogonal to each other?
My question is why anybody thinks that writing a project in a monolithic style is a good idea. Any large project can be broken down into small independent modules, and there are tons of benefits to doing that aside from being able to track types in it.

Independent modules are easier to reason about, they're reusable, and they can be maintained on independent schedules. The biggest advantage though is that this approach allows you to split teams up into smaller groups responsible for the individual modules. One of the biggest problems in maintaining large projects is communication overhead, and typically it's very difficult for teams with over 5-6 people to be productive.

So, if your project outgrows limits of dynamic typing, chances are it should be split up instead of using static typing as a crutch.
Practically, nearly all code I've seen pretty much immediately far jumps into 32-bit protected mode.
Be focused on a specific audience, because talking to consumers about security is very hard. First, I'd start with your friends.

The first questions they're going to ask is how can I trust you're not spying what I do. If you can convince your friends, then you can convince anybody.

Next is how do I use it / how does it work, that brings to make it as simple as possible. Minimal setup, no configuration, it just works.

Finally it's why should I use it. This can be "easy" because you can just look around the competition, see their messaging, find out which one you like better and copy it. Focus on benefits vs technical features and details. When consumers see something they don't understand, they leave.

I've never built a vpn, but I made a password manager (question 3 is relatively easy/understood), and now I'm making a security key (all these questions are proving to be pretty hard). Shameless plug, we're live on Kickstarter: https://solokeys.com/kickstarter
People in The Netherlands also don't identify as "bikers". They use bicycles yes, but that doesn't make them a biker. Would people in the US who drive a car identify themselves as "car drivers"? Or people who walk to work as "walkers"? I don't think that's a thing.

Yeah, presumably so. But most articles of this sort tend to be more like one-sided sales pitches. Personally, I'd fall over if I saw an article which adopted a Kantian 'thesis' 'antithesis' ergo suggested 'synthesis' approach.

Depends on the search method, and heuristics employed, here's an excerpt from JaCoP constraint solver's documentation: http://jacopguide.osolpro.com/guideJaCoP.html#x1-730013

The heuristics can be hierarchical permitting customized implementations, see 'IndomainHierarchical' here: http://jacopguide.osolpro.com/guideJaCoP.html#x1-820001

What's interesting about JaCoP in particular is because it has derivative, and Multivariate Interval Newton Method constraints. If you can model your problem in terms of 'flow', you'll eliminate the risk of calculating beyond INT_MAX, in case that's a concern. Reference: http://jacopguide.osolpro.com/guideJaCoP.html#x1-490005

And that's just JaCoP, there are many great constraint solvers out there.
