If you're referring to `adamrezich`, then I can second that I had the same question. I'm probably daft, but not intentionally so.
If so, could you please explain me the last iPad Pro benchmark scores?

In a Boeing, absolutely. The designers know it is important, and they devote a slice of cockpit space to a comically large "trim wheel." It has a white stripe to highlight automatic movements, and a large handle to allow manual control.

I mean, it seems a bit obvious to me that human values and morality are going to be reflections of fundamental human drives (i.e. to survive and procreate). The cultural, legal and economic environment can change a lot of variables as to how we achieve these two goals, as can our perception of the environment which we live in, but at the end of the day people are still going to be acting in accordance with their evoluationarily programmed drives within the context of their environment. I don't see how we could do any differently.
Perhaps WeWork knew what they were doing.
The atomic bomb is a bad example- the reason we haven’t had ww3 is due to nuclear weapons. MAD basically means that no rational actor will fire a nuke at someone else who also has one, so we’re all paralysed and need to fight wars in other ways (the Cold War, proxy wars eg Syria, trade wars, cyber warfare, propaganda etc), all of which are less impactful than the world wars we would have without MAD
Good idea, but you'd have to have an objective way of deciding how accurate the article was.

"The Press", has in general pretty much come out and said this was poor behavior by the president. Nobody seems to have their feelings hurt that their question didn't get asked because of this "grandstanding". None of them seem to be thrilled that the president, in his infinite wisdom, cut this man off from getting a real answer to his follow up questions.
It's not just about Tinder. In the article it says he wants to avoid general discrimination he faces based on that 20 year difference in age. For example, he wants to work again, but no one wants to hire someone at retirement age.

This is still pretty silly, but because there are cases where people change other facts of their birth like their names or gender, you could say there's a precedent.
The PS3 had a PowerPC main core cpu and a 8 core cell chip. Of the 8 SPU cores, only 6 were available to developers as one was reserved for OS functions and the other, ironically enough, was held back for yield purposes.
Is that an and or an or? Would the yoke have avoided the crash by itself with enough applied force, or did the pilots also need to determine that the aircraft was trimming itself incorrectly and do something special to disconnect that? Seems like they didn't do that, in either case.
Like hell it isn't.

At the risk of going "no true scottsman", I hate this kind of anti-intellectual nonsense. The methods of science, engineering and rational reasoning are the best tools we have for solving world problems. They were literally invented for it. They're reified applied reasoning. You eschew them at your own peril.

Now of course to solve problems involving humans, you have to factor in the human element - the complexity of our individual emotions, and of the societal interplay. This is where a lot of attempts at solving problems fail, and it's appropriate to criticize that. But that doesn't give you a free pass to go by your gut in contexts our monkey brains have never experienced in the past. This means we need to double-down and carefully, rationally, find out what works and what doesn't.
I'm sorry to hear this. I have a friend that works in a hospital ER and she says they rarely allow opioids even for broken bones and for post-op recovery these days, unless it's something like a back or neck surgery. Even then, many of the ER docs have started only prescribing "Extra Strength Tylenol" or NSAIDs (which are notoriously damaging to your system, as is Acetaminophen (Tylenol)). It's a sad state we find ourselves in these days.
> I personally want to work somewhere who values me as a responsible human being, and expects me to behave like one.

Responsible human beings don't drink alcohol in the workplace. If a person is drawing a salary, they should be presenting to work fit & as prepared as possible to do it. There is no good reason for employees to be drinking at or prior to work. Unless, I suppose, there is some well-replicated study showing that alcohol in low doses increases cognitive function despite all my expectations.

Management doesn't have a magic crystal ball to tell truth from falsehood and fact from hearsay - and because of that uncertainty firing people is a far last resort for creating a safe and welcoming workspace. Banning alcohol at work is both prudent and reasonable.
You're getting a lot of flak for conflating verifiability with formal proofs.

In your defense, science appears to follow formality, though we run into often run into holes in our theory when a confounding number of variables are in play.

Me, personally, I don't know what that difference really is. Science is science because it works. If it didn't work, it wouldn't be science.

Mathematics can and will find ways to apply itself to the real world, no matter how approximately, as long as that difference matters to somebody.

Counterfeits are actually a very big issue in the textbook industry. Anyone who deals with used textbooks knows this and they need to be very careful to avoid legal action from publishers. Do a google image search on "counterfeit textbook examples" and you'll see how many of the counterfeits look pretty similar to the authentic books (often it's small things like coloring that give it away).

Obviously textbooks get expensive, but the thing that makes textbook counterfeiting especially successful is that most consumers who get cheap counterfeits don't care. The content is usually the same and it's not a status symbol like an authentic Gucci bag. So as a consumer, there's really not much difference to you, especially if you got the book for cheap.

Typically, counterfeits are lower quality, but someone who works in the industry once told me that he's seen counterfeits with higher quality printing than the originals, which makes the real books look like fakes!
> "Saving lives is a good thing" is an evidenceless belief.

Is it? Any kind of value system must presuppose the value of life because only life can hold something valuable. Value systems that do not are therefore inconsistent.

Ask HN: How to abandon your old email address and migrate elsewhere?
I've recently moved away from Gmail and set up an account with FastMail for privacy reasons. The problem is I keep finding myself still checking my old email, and the only people who have my FastMail email are friends - who text/call me so have no actual use for my email.

I've changed my email address for some services (bank, bills, spotify, etc..) to my FastMail, but that's about it. I've probably received 1 email to it in the past 2 months. The Gmail account still has a strong life supply of emails arriving to it.

How can I abandon and distance myself from that old email address and bring some life/migrate my life to my new email account (beside just exporting/importing all of my emails)

It's possible that your pain doctor was great, but that doesn't subtract from the fact that there are doctors who act like glorified drug-dealers who prescribe oxy if you mention you've ever had a headache, and the only way that I can see to fix this is to start monitoring this more thoroughly.

I feel bad for people in your situation, but I feel like increased scrutiny is sort of a necessary evil. I got a vasectomy a couple years back, and despite me feeling nothing but a bit of soreness for two days, my doctor wrote my a prescription for 45 days of codeine. I didn't take them out of fear of it becoming a problem, but someone less informed could seriously be hurt by that.
This is an excellent question that I am going to decline to answer.
While some have pointed out that this very article could be considered post-hoc data mining, I think it is not. This exact kind of affect was what was intended by the requirement to pre-register. Looking afterwards to see if the intended affect (change in how many studies report benefits) appears to have happened in reality, makes perfect sense. They didn't institute the requirement at random, and then later consider that maybe it could have an impact of reducing (perhaps spurious) findings of significant benefit; that was more or less the only reason for doing so.

Ada doesn't have the memory guarantees of rust. Ada's type system is closer to that of C. Rust's type system is based on ML, which is based on a proven sound type theory. Ada has had a lot of work put into it, but the trouble is that the foundation was never verified to begin with.
What you say is generally true for mathematics, but it can help for the basics: Definitions of terms, etc. Basically, my goal was/is to memorize the facts one really should know without needing to look it up. For example, I've learned statistics at least thrice in my life, and beyond the very basics, the material doesn't stick. I think it's good for retaining a minimum amount of knowledge that you can use in the field any time you need it. Things like the recursive rule for the Gamma function, or that pairwise independence does not imply mutual independence (although a better flashcard would ask you to recall an actual counterexample), or what each probability distribution is useful for (I don't think I'd ever want to memorize the mean/variance, though).

I agree with you that overly relying on flashcards will take away the intuition, which is critical in fields like mathematics. At the same time, one can use flashcards in addition to other methods. It's not as if using one approach impacts your ability to learn via other approaches. Also, I think one can be clever in how they use them for mathematics. A lot of theorems rely on a certain key trick or two, so I think it makes sense to have flashcards asking what the trick is. I think flashcards are great for memorizing counterexamples, as well. Or heck, even regular examples. Depending on the branch of mathematics, knowing these is immensely helpful (e.g. in analysis).

Having said all that, I'm not using it for math presently.

>This is where a lot of attempts at solving problems fail

I think this is where a lot of attempts at defining problems fail. I don't think this has any impact on the validity of the scientific method of problem solving, once you've clearly defined your problem.

"An antelope is a member of a number of even-toed ungulate species indigenous to various regions in Africa and Eurasia. Antelopes comprise a wastebasket taxon (miscellaneous group) within the family Bovidae, encompassing those Old World species that are not cattle, sheep, buffalo, bison, or goats."

- they're defined by where they're from and what they aren't. There are 91 species. So, for example, a gnu (wildebeest) is an antelope.

There are plenty of fireable offenses of sexual harrasment type that don’t meet the relevant criminal standard of sexual assault. Sexual harrasment is not a crime, though often it is very close to the crime of sexual assault (e.g. unwanted touching is a crime).
I think for 1/2 the Bronco could be a very, very good start if they get it right. There's a lot of nostalgia for the Bronco and if they can make a Raptor/SVT Bronco they'll move them. I'd like to see a "Bronco Overland" to be honest, as I think that sort of aesthetic would sell bucket loads.

Not sure about 3 with the F150. People are still wary about the turbos over the coyote (including a lot of misinformation and paranoia), much less electric. Maybe it'll be a boon for fleet trucks.
The problem with asking everyone about pain, even if they're attending for something else, is that you find out a load of people live with pain.

This is a well-understood phenomenom about screening: screening people usually (not always) causes more harm than it fixes.

Back when "pain is the 5th vital sign" was being pushed people thought opioids were not addictive if used to treat pain. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40136881

And there are drug reps telling you this medication is not addictive and that you're being negligent in leaving pain "untreated".

So, you ask everyone if they're in pain. A load of them say "yes", and you can't afford to give them physical therapy and psychological support but you can give them opioids which are dirt cheap and you've been told they're not addictive if used to treat pain. You end up flooding communities with opioid meds. You have a bunch of people still in pain, and with an opioid addiction. And then you have their friends and relatives who aren't in pain but who want to try these meds recreationally getting hooked.

It's a public health disaster.

To answer your question: ask people about pain, but set expectations first. Opioids are a poor choice for most people with long term pain.

Not much better than palcebo for neuropathic pain, but with more side effects and with risk of addiction: https://www.cochrane.org/CD006146/SYMPT_opioids-neuropathic-...

No better than paracetamol for long term back and joint pain: https://discover.dc.nihr.ac.uk/content/signal-000610/opioid-...
Same here (2008-2010). That shit made me sick and it only helped for like an hour anyways (0hr: took pill; 1hr: pain relief + nausea; 2-3hr: pain resurgence; 6hr: take another; rinse, repeat.). I stopped taking it after a day. I can appreciate its usefulness for chronic conditions, but damn, it's criminal how many I was prescribed in retrospect.
That page is most assuredly not comparing apples to apples. The isn't noted at all, it's more of a comparison on peak power usage, which you could maybe use to plan cooling, and a comment on idle power usage.

But you would need to compare total watts for enough systems to get the throughput you need, which I suspect is not the same and is likely workload dependent.

For home use, where you are likely to only have a single system, you can directly compare idle usage, but for Google how many idle systems depends on your thrroughput needs --- and maybe Google can orchestrate shutdown / reuse of idle servers off-peak, so it might be moot.

This explains a bit about how the THS works:
https://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Trimmable_Horizontal_Sta...

The Rostov-on-Don crash in 2016 appears to have been caused by downwards trimming for 12 seconds. This caused a -1g dive from which the pilots were unable to recover. It's inconceivable they wouldn't have been attempting to pull up with the elevator. You can't not notice -1g.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flydubai_Flight_981

Now the final report is not out yet, so it's not clear if the downwards trim was somehow manual (which doesn't really make any sense), or a similar problem to the Lion Air crash. Either way, it's worried Boeing and the FAA enough to issue this AD.
If you blow up a terrorist training camp out in the desert, and it turns out afterwards that there were a few civilian hostages or dependents on-site, that's unfortunate but arguably unavoidable.

If you bomb an outdoor wedding party with dozens of visible women and children, and then return to fire again when ambulances are on the scene, that's not an "unfortunate accident". That's deadly negligence at the very best. You're trying to twist the second example into the framework of the first.
Additionally regarding the Air vs Pro w/o touch bar:

The Air is 100$ cheaper, and has the TouchId scanner and the newer-gen keyboard.

The Pro has a 15W TDP vs 7W TDP CPU with slightly higher performance, and a TrueTone display with higher brightness.

I would probably pay the 8% extra, but overall those things are very close.

> I’m not criticizing pause times, but rather that you can’t rely on code inspection to identify the point of resource deallocation, which is pretty much the flagship feature of a GC :)

This is completely wrong. The flagship feature of a GC is memory management, __not__ filehandle management or management of other resources. While many GCs support finalizer hooks, most languages with GCs (Go, Python, etc) explicitly discourage using these to close file handles for specifically the reasons you cite. Automatic resource management is useful and desirable, but it's out of scope for GCs.
Apologies, I should have been more clear as I intended to point out an example, not a fixed quota, because clearly if you consider diversity when making a hiring decision you inevitably have to end up aiming to hire more people of certain characteristics(and not necessarily qualifications) that fit your long term quota goals.

Besides, what do you mean by fair recruitment? Because personally in this context I view diversity and fairness as contradicting terms, since it would always be more fair to hire a candidate that has higher qualifications and is a good cultural fit over one that wasn't as qualified, but turned out to be a good match when it comes to meeting present quarter's diversity goals?

I believe that basing hiring decisions on physical appearance, race, religion, gender or political views is simply wrong. I recall there was a company that focused on distorting candidates' voices during phone interviews that effectively prevented the interviewers from distinguishing the interviewees' gender. If companies like Google want to actually be more "fair", perhaps they should move in that direction rather than introducing artificial quotas and justifying them with a vague "need for diversity"?

I'll go one stronger and say "You Shouldn't Trust Any One Scientific Study You See".

Individual studies can be really interesting. They're important for researchers to know about to inform their future work. But any one study - even ones that are done honestly, with good methodology and sound foundations - can be just totally wrong. There could be confounding factors you couldn't have known about that completely invalidate the result. Your test subjects could be unusual in some way, your animal models could be a poor analogue for humans in this particular case, you could have just had really aberrant statistical flukes in your statistic sampling.

It's the body of scientific research, the dozens, hundreds, thousands of studies stacked on top of each other that bring certainty.
