For a specific situation where you cannot switch off because you have all your work on your computer, which you also use as a personal one -- I've started using a separate user account for personal and work since almost a year.

The hassle of maintaining two setups, having to log into the personal/work one to do something even small has helped me almost completely tune out work when I don't need it.
Browsers already offered standardised UI for accepting or rejecting cookies. The EU didn't care and now every website has its own totally non standard popup that can't be scripted or automated away. It's a disaster that shows how clueless governments can be about this stuff.
Please see my reply bellow, I didn’t say that I approve of private entities collecting data, it’s just that governments are a lot more powerful compared to companies. Just to give an easy example, an entity like the US government can have me extradited and imprisoned in the US even though I have never set foot on that side of the Atlantic while companies like FB or Google can’t, for the moment.
Then it's your definition of what makes content better for the community that needs updating. That this admin conduct, or maybe just yours, has been ongoing for some time now is not sufficient reason for it to continue.

going to sound like a jerk but if i saw that (lord knows how filthy rich) chubby little CEO and he started talking in corporate buzzword speak i'd probably laugh in his face and then give him a good slap and say your st fking sucks man.

I like the line about the 'everyone is hallucinating but i missed the dosage'. I get this feeling in tech all the time. After working in industry for 5 years i really dont give a fk about any of your new technology. I've seen hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted on contractors trying to build fancy new tools instead of us properly building something in house. Wish they would have thrown the 100K over my way but that aint how it works.

is it any coincidence that our in-house built in 2 months postgres system has survived for 5+ years while every attempt for 'nosql' or 'just put your data on s3 and use lambda' or 'just put it in the data lake', or 'use kinesis streams' has failed miserably. Some random contractor made bank making a little toy project good for him. HE should go work for magic leap where you get to build meaningless kids games and be worth billions of dollars.
On what planet do mathematicians not have an intuition for what they study?
I used to live in what could be called "respectable housing for the indigent" - studio apartments in a 1920s building, with radiator heat, college fridge, and only 40A of electricity per unit. I stayed there while getting back on my feet after a failed robotics startup in 2012.

Currently, I live in a luxury apartment about 4 blocks away. A 2013 building, it has AC and gigabit internet, and free wifi on the roof deck

The housing problem is that - while the difference in utility between these units is huge, the rental price difference is just a few hundred per month. Granted that they are the same square footage. "The indigent" cannot afford base-level housing.
I have no first-hand information, but I think this is going to turn out to be a reduced thrust takeoff with the crew being unaware of that (meaning they screwed up).

Airliners have enough power to lose an engine at a decision speed (V1) while still on the runway and on the one remaining engine continue to accelerate on the runway to rotation and eventually liftoff speed and still clear obstacles. There is no mention of an engine loss causing this issue (and surely the airplane wouldn't launch for FL360 with one engine INOP), so this almost has to be a mis-set takeoff thrust accident as, with both engines set for proper takeoff thrust, it's rare to use more than 2/3 of the runway and the initial climb is brisk due to the large excess of power a turbojet engine has at sea level.
You are correct sir, however the EU commission believes it doesn't actually have to follow the gdpr at all! They were called out on their non compliant website shortly after the law activated and announced that for "legal reasons" they didn't have to follow it.
Not really. Market forces should have forced the airlines to kill TSA long ago.

Also I am not sure how you quantify safety. Overall it may have increased, but nobody ever shot a buik missile against my car and got away with it.
This really seems like one obvious way in which we are effecting our own evolution and would not be surprised if in a short time (on an evolutionary scale) that humans will require c-sections for successful birth.

This may not be a bad thing, the reason child birth is so difficult for humans vs most other animals is our head size vs the female pelvis. C-sections bypass the evolutionary constraint allowing more large headed babies to smaller pelvis women which could allow greater head size and perhaps even more intelligence.

Front line treatment for a range of anxiety disorders is a talking therapy from a therapeutic st or psychologist. It's only when that fails that doctors become involved with medication.

We should not trivialise anxiety disorders: they cause death and harm and they can lead to years of life lost to disability. They can be very debilitating.
For my folks, I got them an OBI300, and so far so good. My own setup is an old Atom-based Mini-ITX board and a Digium TDM400P card, with Asterisk handling the calls. We went with Callcentric for service, and we've been happy with it.

Exactly! This has been said for years and they just censor it. They're sharlatans, not scientists. The big bang theory was not nearly as predictive of meaurements like CMB as other theories - but not a problem if you can keep changing it after the fact, and act like you were right all along!

Try telling that to some of those here, in the US. The mantra is "do what I say, not what I do."
> Also, dark matter doesn't interact much with regular matter, which makes the search even harder.

This is (one of the many places) where I get lost. It has mass, so it by definition interacts with anything with mass?

Are these particles supposed to be so small and so rare that they can't be measured even at the scale of solar system? (How much dark matter would be in the solar system? What would be the average density of the dark matter? what would be the mass of single dark matter particle?) Or what do I miss here?

V1 is the takeoff decision speed, not the accelerate-stop distance.

The accelerate stop distance is the distance it takes to accelerate to V1, reject the takeoff, and stop the aircraft. V1 is in KIAS (knots of indicated airspeed). ASD is in feet/meters.

You are correct that passing V1, the aircraft is committed to fly unless an emergency relating to controllability surfaces.
Very detailed explanation. Useful even for a refresher on the mechanics. Well done!
Let's not talk about neutonian physics... If that's what you mean by "normal physics." Let's talk about the physics that requires the vast majority to - by definition - be unobservable and unmeasurable. There are other theories that don't require magic and asking the authorities to tell you how to think about existence.
Yeah, it's usually more civil. Make a few phone calls, put legal pressure on them, discredit them, etc. Unless of course the target is in the third world, then an unmanned plane attack will do, at worse it might also get 20-50 others unrelated to them, but third world lives are cheap.

Though it also depends on the part of the west and the time. The 50s to 80s was a good time for muddy state work in the west too.

In the 60s and 70s the Italians had certain pesky activists commit "suicide" by jumping off of police building and similar methods [1].

Delegating a murder or disappearance to the mafia (which in 80s trials was found complicit with the government) was also an option, as was using the far right organizations [2].

The Belgians had someone like Lumumba executed and dissolved in acid, something the French agencies were also known to be fond of and also had common criminals working for them when they wanted to git rid of a "state enemy" [3].

The Greek deep state of the 60s and 70s just used hired thugs, who acted "independently", like those that murdered peace activist Lambrakis in 1963 [4] (that was still under democracy, the Junta just continued the tradition).

It's definitely my reason. I'm so afraid of failing I can't start working on a task until I'm more afraid of disappointing people completely instead of just partly.

In my case it's also amplified by ADD and rejection sensitive dysphoria. It doesn't matter how much I achieve (e.g. I have, converted from German to US grades, a 3.7 GPA), or what I do, it won't go away. So I just live with it.

Been to many restaurants in China over the years, I really find it hit or miss there honestly. The best Chinese food I've ever had has always been in the states, Hong Kong, and taiwan. Partially because the latter 2 have a larger and longer standing foreign influence, meaning you have a unique spin off of Chinese food.
Exactly. And here is the point: what exactly does 'tree' mean here?

Palm trees, bamboo, corn, reeds and such are all of them quite different from the schema presented in the article. This schema seems to be some specific subset of large Eudicots, like magnolias, oaks, shrubs and such, or at any rate some paraphyletic family of plants.

In taxonomical terms, Pinophyta are even more distant from the aforementioned plants, all of them Magnoliophyta. Pine trees, cypresses and other Pinophyta branch as well, but their branching does not fit the schema in the article.

Why wasn't the hypothesis tested against the Pinophytae' specific (and quite common) kind of branching? Is surrounding fluid resistance only important for that arbitrary set of plants?

If fluid resistance, ubiquitous in plant evolution, were of such an importance in explaining a difference between what is predicted by the vascular hypothesis and what is actually observed in branching trees, the same could be said for all trees that branch, and this theory should be able to do some predictions for other branching (and non-branching) plants.

This hypothesis should have been tested for other structures right from the start, and not just for an idealized form of unwarranted generality.

But don't get me wrong: I think that it's very good to have aerospace engineers putting forth this idea, and this article adds to our understanding of tree growth and evolution. I just find it incomplete.
Are we saying that when the hold baggage is screened then just because of a stray battery or power pack they're going to ... do what, exactly?

Not carry that bag on your flight and leave the airline scrambling to reunite passenger with luggage?

Page the passenger (who is almost certainly airside by that point) and try to get them to come (where?) to repack/deal with the contents? I've never heard of a facility where an airside passenger can temporarily get access to hold baggage once it's been screened. Wouldn't the passenger and the hold bag each have to go back through the relevant screening channel after this interaction?

I've checked batteries dozens of times and never give it a second thought. As it turns out, I had two sets of brand-new NiMH AAs in my checked luggage this morning.
I'd be surprised if the problem was isolated to Pichai and didn't extent throughout the management teams of Google and Alphabet.

Monopolies suck - perhaps they'll be broken open someday, but it doesn't appear to be soon.
As I understand it, gravity is the interaction between things with mass, but it's a weak interaction, thus hard to detect on a particle by particle basis. You might be able to detect if there's an extra potato in a bag because a potato is a whole bunch of particles. But identifying that just a few of those particles are not the regular stuff -- protons, electrons, etc. -- by weighing the bag, would be difficult.

Another reason may be that dark matter doesn't exist. If the universe consists of 85% of the stuff it would seem that it should be easy to find. Occams razor should apply as usual.

This seems to open a big can of worms: If it can be copyrighted, it has an author. So who is it?

* Is the driver the author of this data? If yes, does the car company need to get a license to fetch this data or are they pirates? Is the driver permitted to exercises authorship rights like distribution? Why not?

* Or is the car's creator author? Then the driver had no influence on the creation of the data, so can't be responsible for anything: His actions had no consequences.

* Or are both parties co authors? Then you need agreement from every author before you can do anything. This causes both problems at the top at the same time.
I can't help but feel the world jumped into "the future is here" mode way too early. AI, AR, VR -- these have all promised sci-fi-esque experiences that simply can't be delivered with current technology.

I suspect it's to do with the fact that innovation is slowing down across the globe, yet the public expects it to continue at the same pace it's been running for the past 50 years. The market wants the next computer, the next internet, the next iPhone. What happens when it doesn't show up?

>Obviously, Trump never opposed real oppression, and is not a dissident

Well, depends on how you see it. Hillary was the typical hawk ready to continue the war business as usual like Obama. Trump pushed for a more isolationist policy, which after Bush and Obama continuous war making is a breath of fresh air (and made some progress with SK instead of mere aggressions).

And for many people (not the 10% that benefits for such things and which most on HN would belong to) globalization itself causes a race to the bottom and oppression. In fact before the "left" (term used loosely) went full-on Democrat-lite, it used to protest globalization (remember Seattle, Genova, etc).
It's a really entertaining read for me, but I can't place my finger on why exactly. I think crappy jobs are a great plot device in any story though since so many people have that shared experience. The ending is so satisfying to me.
I'd say it's not completely in the dark. The experiments try to test theories that suggest where to look. For instance if a theory predicts a previously un-discovered particle, with some rules for how it interacts, then you can refine your search based on those rules -- what range of masses you're looking for, what decay patterns, and so forth.

My issue with both is basically that the things people claim to be 'better' about both are really not, as evidenced by the work required to compensate for those 'features'.

No schema? Great I can just keep changing my app's code. Oh wait but now I need to either handle migrations in my app or run a separate script to migrate everything. So there is a schema, it just isn't enforced by the database layer, and thus can't be migrated by the database layer.

Single threaded-async? Great, now I can just run a single process and handle heaps of requests. Oh, but also, can someone work on a way to not have a million nested callbacks? Yes, that's right, we basically want to be able to write code that will run sequentially, regardless of the 'event loop'.

I'm not against alternatives to SQL databases. I think LDAP is a great example of a non-SQL data store, that still has a schema, and it's proven to work in huge environments.

I'm not fixed to a single specific language either, and I even write Javascript sometimes, but I feel like a lot of the time, it's used in spite of it's characteristics, not because of them.
Good - they should make it the default!
I didn't speak for any majority or minority, I was talking about the reasons why PC culture came about. People downvoted my comment, because they were confusing personal opinions with arguments. I also didn't make the claim that members of minorities automatically understand what it takes to protect minorities, as some commenters here seem to presume without further reflection. Being a member of a minority means nothing, everybody is in some kind of minority in life. What counts is whether or not you ask and take seriously those people who have actually become the victims of discrimination.

I was also not arguing for or against PC, as some people who replied erroneously presumed, too.

The arguments for and against PC are complex, and "political correctness" is an umbrella term for many different forms of nudging, regulation, etc., and every PC issue has different arguments for and against.

Make a similar survey about Americans' opinions about the IRS and you'll probably get the result that the majority of Americans dislike the IRS. It's safe to bet that the majority of this majority hasn't really thought this through either. Ask Americans about the police, and you probably get the same result. And so on, and so forth.

These kind of surveys don't tell us anything except that most Americans do not really spend much time thinking about the arguments for or against the issue under consideration. Why should they? For most people, PC will merely be an annoying and slightly silly behavioral regulation, because they have not become the victim of any serious discrimination in their life so far.

Since PC is about the protection of minorities, which is essential to a working democracy, it will concern those members of a minority the most who have actually been victims of discrimination. These are the people you have to listen to first and foremost, not to your "gut feeling" or to your political views and peers.
> It has mass, so it by definition interacts with anything with mass?

Yeah, but the only interaction is gravity. And nothing that clumps these particles together (such as the electro-magnetic force for ordinary matter).

> Are these particles supposed to be so small and so rare that they can't be measured even at the scale of solar system?

The additional mass can be measured, this is why we suspect the particles are there in the first place :)

IMO, reaching out to them with a neutral tone (not overly friendly) is the best approach you can try. If they are not responding after reasonable number of (and sure it's been reached) attempts, you could try either legal options or try other options like to sell the same product as a competitor and/or openly shame the company.
Ah, the 2.0 of talking your mum through some Windows hickup on the phone. If you believe in that market, don't wait for magic leap or anyone, start now building a marketplace for remote expert assistance. If it's viable with AR headsets it will also work using the handheld display and camera devices that everybody already has. When (or if, sorry, not a believer) AR hits mainstream, you will have an enormous head-start.
