Yes, you are correct. This is actually expected to happen at some point, as GR and quantun field theory are incredibly well tested and yet haven't successfully been combined into one theory.

However, when this happens, it will be one of the greatest physics breakthroughs of all time.

Because of this, any scientist needs very strong, compelling reasons for trying understand their results in a way that holds GR as somehow broken. The vast majority of of experiments don't have good justification for not treating GR as a given truth.

Maybe you'd be mad, but would that anger be justified? We all benefit from each other's work in society. The person building on your work wouldn't be harming you in any way (except perhaps by competing with you, which we all agree is a good thing for everyone in the world except for you), and they would be beneficial to their customers by a significant $5M. Only a foolish society would subtract that from itself because for some reason a platform supplier got "mad."
6 weeks isn't a normal vacation. 20 to 30 days vacation allowance (excluding public holidays) is the norm in the private sector and while in theory you could use 30 days to take 6 weeks off, you'd have nothing for the rest of the year. 2 weeks is a normal big vacation, over summer, often in August.

Overlap it with public holidays, and you can get 17 or 18 days off in a row for 10 vacation days - 10 weekdays, three weekends and a public holiday or two. But it's usually better to plan a public holiday somewhere in the middle because of the extra traffic.

As terminology though it's not a sabbatical either. 6 weeks off sounds more like a gap between jobs with gardening leave or travel or some other project that wouldn't fit in a work vacation.

What is AR good for today? Almost nothing. What is it's potential? HUGE

Why do you need monitors if you have AR contact lens. Project as many monitors as you want where ever you want them. Sit in cafe and make it appear as if you have a 60 inch monitor on the table in front of you and a few tablets on the table.

In a conference room show a 3D model of building, bridge, or physical project and discuss it with the team pointing directly at parts of the model that appear simulated in the shared projection. Basically imagine any hologram scene in a Sci-fi movie like say showing the 2nd Death Star in Return of the Jedi. Those scenes assume some kind of magic 3D projector. Maybe that will be possible someday but it's nearly possible today if everyone is wearing AR glasses or contacts

Project data about people at a conference next to each person. Just like people at a conference wear badges except with AR badges they can be much larger with more info.

Have the AR point out the person you're looking for by putting a marker over their head or draw navigation prompts as you walk around.

Show virtual drawing surfaces allowing you to draw or annotate anything.

just a few ideas
For the longest time, embedded development required some low level work that was quite comparable to game programming hacks of that era. But I see that microcontrollers are getting more powerful and compilers have become really good, so that only few applications require hacks like these anymore.

I don't think it works like that, you can buy whatever you want and resell while adding value. Just like a printing press that buys paper and then makes millions from it by printing books.

Ask HN: Experiences running a small business vs. a startup?
Please forgive my naïveté, I would like to understand the commonalities/differences of running a small business vs. a startup. I see that both have to deal with finances (loans, investors), developing a product, marketing, transaction processing, labor (employees, contractors), and taxes/accounting. What are the experiences, motivations, and day-day like with respect to small business vs. startups? I've heard others talk about small businesses and startups as distinctly separate types of business, but I'm still confused why they are so different?
This strikes me a lot like “flatland”, ie. there’s something there but we’re not equipped to perceive it. Our experiments are mostly like extreme extensions of our own senses - seeing and touching things. But could something exist entirely within a dimensional space that we can’t touch or see? And if so how would we ever figure out how to detect it ... and even more meta, what if it was impossible for us to perceive the detection?

It’s all really fascinating.
Inexperienced people advocating change is not new either. They both have their pros and cons.

I really like the team-room idea mentioned near the end. The noise from my immediate peers doesn't bother me. It really is useful to overhear others' conversations sometimes, or pull someone in on a moment's notice, and when there's a high level of social connection people can agree on when to be quiet. What really drives me nuts is constantly hearing the conversations of people two aisles over, talking about something that couldn't possibly be of interest to me. And the people walking through, because not everyone gets to be around the edges. (In one workspace I sometimes occupy, the edge is all taken up by conference rooms so everyone is in the middle with people walking past.) There's a reason that every desk in an open-office layout seems to have at least one pair of headphones on it. That's a poor solution where an obviously better one exists.
I've been thinking about implementing Firebase as part of Polar: https://getpolarized.io/

The idea is that you update your documents (PDF, HTML, etc) into Polar, tag them, and then we sync them to the cloud. Then when you go to another machine like work or home your documents are always synchronized.

At first I fell in love with Firebase and was very very excited to start implementing it.

They've spent a ton of time working on the initial implementation experience.

Their Firebase Auth support was amazingly simple to setup. Same with Firebase hosting. It's top notch. You can be up and running with a CDN hosting with SSL in like 2 minutes and the firebase tools are exceptional.

Cloud Firestore seems really interesting and easy to setup. It's basically designed for 'apps'. IE user-facing apps and works pretty well if all the data is private to the user.

I do struggle with these issues of reliability though. At Datastreamer (http://www.datastreamer.io/) we use Hetzner and have about a half petabyte stored there.

It's a blog content search engine which we license to other startups so high availability is critical.

Their infra is amazingly reliable. Very very happy here.

The problem of course is that you then have to manage your own software stack which of course requires extra effort on your part.

It doesn't, though. I'm perfectly happy checking my underwear and dirty tshirts.

I've spent a lot of time reading about keto etc

An important detail in many of these studies (I'm not sure if it applies here, it's not clear on the paper)
is that mice High Fat Diet isn't high fat as in keto.

Keto is: high fat, almost zero carbs, many vegetables (normal to low calories and low insulin peaks)

HFD in mice studies is: we put more fat in the normal mice food to give them more calories so they get fat (very high calories with insulin cycles)
I'm SO surprised...
>Yes, but up until decent, clean deliveries with the option of c-section, and anti-biotics child birth killed 5% of mothers[2]

But you are conflating very different issues. You can't give c-sections the credit for the benefits we gained from learning what bacteria are. Most women who died during childbirth died from infections, c-sections don't stop infections, hygiene and antibiotics do. You need to compare modern normal births to modern c-sections, not pre-germ theory normal births to modern c-sections.
Hence "supposed version"; it's my impression that they backported a non-trivial amount from as far forward as the 4.x series.

There are myriad situations where contracts are written which aren't enforceable, but that doesn't make writing the contract illegal, nor does it make _trying_ to enforce it illegal either. That might be a shortcoming of our legal system, but that's how it works.

The EULA may or may not be binding in any appreciable way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-user_license_agreement#Enf...

If they can establish that their EULA does bind then maybe they've got a case.
The Dresden and Genode folks do it a bit different: just virtaulize the OS as a user-mode application. Then, some add ability to reuse device drivers across VM's to get the drivers specific OS's (esp Linux) support. From there, you can slowly pull code out as standalone or native applications as you described. There's usually middleware (eg Camkes) that lets the standalone code talk to code inside the VM. I'll give Genode as an example of mixing native and VM code.

Oh, weird that there are 2 repos. The one I linked doesn't have issues enabled (I looked there first).
Makes sense. As mentioned in the comments, there are different ways of inducing labor. I was referring to usage of pitocin or similar too early in the process, instead of gradually inducing the labor with other medications. We had success with just misoprostol during our labor, but the process was quite long.
Actually, most scientific progress has come from building on earlier scientific work..that is incremental science.
It's clear to me that this is nowhere near accurate and I'm not sure why you insist on making these sort of claims.

This is a real risk of vaginal birth. Long term complications of vaginal birth are not usually studied (this may be related to an ongoing issue in the medical community in failing to address women’s health). For example, painful sex has been reported in a quarter of women 18 months after birth. Painful sex is common in 90% of women in the shorter term after giving birth. Women overwhelmingly experience at least one complication within 6 weeks after birth and are recommended to wear adult diapers as the uterus continues to expel. Women also report at least one long term health complication about a third of the time. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postpartum_period)

(Edit: this doesn’t differentiate between vagina and c-section, but for example I’ve seen in passing that vaginal birth causes more issues with incontinence and painful sex)
I believe in Korea this could be charged as a criminal offence rather than a civil one. Which is even more crazy.
What do you consider good hearing skills to practice, except echolocating?
Given your requirements, I would suggest a consultant/contract developer position for large/established companies building enterprise solutions. Large, because they will have challenging business problems that they cannot deliver through their normal project development process. Enterprise solutions, because the problems will be better defined and your experience will be better appreciated.
This is very insightful! Is there (if you are comfortable) anyway I can contact you via email for some questions (my personal email is in my profile)?

As others noted, proving medical benefits has been illegal for a long time. What we do have is the authentic personal experience and testimony to its benefits from hundreds of thousands of users. I know, drug users are not to be trusted; unless it's alcohol or tobacco, then it's ok. But still; you rarely hear users preach the health benefits of crack cocaine, or even alcohol/tobacco.

It does wonders for chronic pain, without the nasty side effects of opiates.

It makes it easier to deal with ADHD/Aspberger traits, without the nasty side effects of amphetamine.

And it seems to have extraordinary cancer curing powers, without long term killing you like chemo.

There is something else you should also consider here. As theoretical physics and experimental physics have started to grow further and further apart, there are people who have devoted their entire careers, in many cases their entire lives, to purely theoretical pursuits which may in the end simply be invalid. But at some point you reach a point of no return in your career - in that you would need to effectively reboot your entire life, which may be quite decorated by this point, in some entirely new direction leaving you going from leading expert to mid (or older) aged neophyte. There is a reason Max Planck famously said, "Science advances one funeral at a time." And that was back when experimental and theoretical were still very closely intertwined!

One problem with dark matter is that there have been an increasingly large number of quite clever experiments to try to detect various concepts of it, WIMPs in particular. And each and every one has been a negative. This should, in and of itself, begin to cast down on the hypothesis even lacking a better alternative.

There are over 15 years of PDAs before the iPhone. It didn't appear out of thin air. It was an evolution from Newton->Palm Pilot->Clie->Windows CE PDAs->Sony Clie->iPhone

Yes, it was the one that got everything right and it did bring about a revolution but it was evolutional step. It shipped with cellular data (all previous PDAs it was optional). It had an interface designed for a finger rather than a stylus. But, if you were a geek and had PDA from 1995 though 2007 you had already had a PDA in your pocket, where already sending emails from your pocket, browsing the internet, downloading apps, etc...

AR will follow some similar progression. Today's AR is too large (same as Newton), with a bad display (same as Newton), too expensive (same as Newton), crappy OS (same as Newton). But someone will get it right eventually and bring about an AR revolution.

This is a really interesting theory. Initially I read this and nodded in agreement. But now I question, if demand in SF is truly so high, wouldn't those renting out nicer places be able to charge more? An increase in overall demand means some portion of that is an increase in demand for "luxury" housing, so wouldn't the rent for those units rise accordingly?

Then why would dark matter be detected in galaxies but not in void space ?
Why would those external world matter/energy be spatially syncrhonised at the place of galaxies ? Ockham Razor to the rescue.

Assuming this is not an oversight and microsoft is purposefully withholding licensing their patents, why did Microsoft join the OIN?

My naive guess is either PR or to obtain a hard-to-get license grant from a competitor but I expect I'm wrong on both counts.
Note for anyone considering this: it's GPL licensed.
No one has been able to come up with a compelling alternative model of gravity. All the attempts so far have largely failed (their have been many), as the proposed theories break in one or more critical ways.

I think their may be a small number of languishing models that aren't totally disproven but don't look very promising. But I'm not sure.

Welcome to HN. It seems like half the articles posted here immediately have comments praising the article or the writer. Wouldn't shock me if the writers themselves or their social media team is behind it.

It seems you didn't bother to read the article so I'll summarize (even though it's all of 4 paragraphs, I'll shorten it down to two):

Exfat code is not included in the upstream kernel (no one has merged it yet since it is obviously a patent mine). Microsoft's lawyers only included those patents that pertained to code included in the "Linux System Definition", essentially upstream software, ergo no exfat patents were included. That is fine because it was the basis of the arrangement.

They are now asking Microsoft to merge the exfat code into the upstream kernel itself, so that it will also be governed by the patent non-agression pact.
> Suppose it costs you 10 million dollars to make product X, and you are able to make that money back barely (say 11 million). Then, someone else comes along and builds something quickly on top of your expensive investment and is able to make 5 million of their own. Wouldn’t you be mad?

That's a terrible analogy. Practically everything is built on using materials built from others. That's essentially specialization.
You are almost correct. The problem is that most of the people that laugh at aether only studied just a little of special relativity and wants to sound smart in the Internet.

The aether was a good idea, it was wrong, but it was a good idea anyway. Perhaps they exaggerated trying to model it like a solid/liquid and deduce the properties, so they got weird results, but it was common those days. For example, the first model of Maxwell used some weird mechanical elements. The mechanical part was useful to deduce the equations. A few years later he dropped the mechanical part and keep only the equations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Maxwell%27s_equatio...

The main difference between aether and a modern field theory is that with aether you have a preferred reference frame. Some things are not moving and other things are moving. Like in a lake with still water, the buoys are not moving, a moving boat is moving, and you can make some experiments to measure your speed of the boat relative to the water.

In the field that is used currently for photons (and other elementary particles) is different. You don't have a preferred reference frame. Any object that is not accelerating can be selected as a not moving object. But any other object that is moving at a constant speed can be also selected as a not moving object too. Any of them can be selected as not moving! But to compare the measurements in one of the object with the measurements in another object you must make some corrections. And the most important property is that there is no experiment that you can do to measure your speed relative to the field. This is related to the fact that light goes at the same speed for every "boat" here, even when they are moving at a constant relative speed.

So the field is like a magical fluid, even more magical than the aether. The important part is that there are accurate equations to describe all this handwaving and all the magical properties of both. The equations for the aether doesn't agree with the measurements in experiments, the equations of the field agree.
