Over 2400 baud? Yes, I probably would suggest dropping SSL and instead transmit pre-encrypted data over a very plain, very simple connection to avoid the overhead of SSL handshake (something like 5kb for current keysizes?) and its latency.

GPG-encrypted email over plain POP would work; and you can have automatic "remailers" on both sides of the link that handle the encryption/decryption once the communications are done over a "normal" connection.
Your impression of how real journalism works is a lot harder to believe.

You don't think writers see and care about how many clicks or views their articles get? Everyone knows these metrics are _directly_ correlated with revenue.

FB used to drive an insane amount of traffic to these publishers back when our news feeds were full of news articles. They pivoted very sharply and suddenly away from that, which hurt publisher revenues (and views) very substantially.
I haven't read but just a summary of the book but even that was helpful in letting me reframe some of these issues that I struggle with.

The key message that stuck with me was that the early stages of the mastery slope are exciting because of how much new knowledge we gain. However, most of life is spent in the plateaus, and learning to love the plateaus is key to finding persistence and self discipline.
Yeah, this is deliberate. I don't want to wreck the formatting of anyone's emails. That being said, there are solutions to this... but they're a bit obscure and will require some effort.
> On the other hand, many of my US high school teachers literally had to work at Wal-mart on the side. Unthinkable elsewhere.

US teachers are among the best paid teachers on earth. What US teachers are arguing about, is they believe they should be paid something closer to good nurse wages or engineers (ie closer to $80k to $100k, rather than $60k or $70k).

Some facts:

Entry level US high school teachers earn 1/3 more than in Japan or Ireland. They earn more than in Canada. They earn around 40% more than in New Zealand. They earn 80-100% more than in Israel. They earn slightly more than in the Netherlands and Austria, and 20% more than in South Korea (which pays its teachers very well vs their national income).

Entry level elementary school teachers in the US earn about 1/3 more than in South Korea, about 20% more than in Austria, 10-15% more than in Canada, 30-40% more than in Ireland and Japan, and drastically more than in countries like New Zealand or Italy.

At both high school and elementary levels, for both entry level and 10 years of experience, the US outranks Canada, Italy, Ireland, Japan, Austria, New Zealand. It's very comparable to what you see in the Netherlands and Australia for those.

Across each field of education, the US comes in in the top seven or eight for teacher pay, typically closer to the top 5. The one place it lags abnormally is the top end pay scale for teaching, where salaries don't match what you'd expect based on the mid-tier and entry level teacher salaries the US offers.

The US only consistently trails a few countries like Germany and Switzerland, when it comes to teacher pay. Those two pay particularly well for teaching (Switzerland more or less matches what you'd expect given their very high national incomes; and Germany pays an unusually outsized salary for teachers based on their national income level).
My biggest concern is are we following a similar trend to Japan (low sex rate, high suicide)? While I am no means an expert, the overall theme that I've seen describe the phenomena in Japan is that they have just "stopped caring" about all the social pressures.

I wonder if Western culture is starting to have the same effect where the "rules of society" are just becoming so convoluted that people are "opting out". I'm looking at this more from the birth rate speculation, but not having a family to go home to at night and stressful work environments may have a connection.
Ah, that is an interesting idea, and worthy of more study.

I had always understood the Christian basis of friendship with the people of Israel was from Genesis 12:3, which suggests that those who "bless" the children of Abraham would be blessed.
Artefact Review and Badging: Improving Confidence in Our Experimental Results

Yeah this is weird. Also, if OP doesn't speak Italian themselves, how can they attest to the quality of the translation?
I get that we don’t like Facebook, but isn’t this a bit much? Are they worse than google or amazon? What about people who work for Coca-Cola? What about the people who make mobile games and loot boxes for Blizzard?

Where is it ethical to work?

I mean, I’ve been in public service for decades, so I know a thing or two about choosing idealism over money, but that’s not for everyone and I frankly don’t think Facebook is really that more evil than around 90% of the hundreds of software companies we deal with.

Like we recently ordered a system for abused children journals. A nationwide bidding landing in a 120 million danish or deal, for a piece of software that 30 municipalities build an equivalent of on their own for 2 million danish kr a few years back.

So some company is making 118 million because the world is rotten. That company is the most popular tech destination for newly educated CS grads in my country by the way.
I still believe the vote margin (at /best/ 52% in favor of leaving, at the time) is way, //way//, too narrow for something this important to be decided. That isn't even a mild resemblance to a consensus.

I'm really disappointed that the article didn't even explore the question if an abort on this travesty is possible or what it might event take to happen at this point.

The news isn't just about reporting on the state of what is, it's about //informing the public// which sometimes includes reaction options and projected effects so individual members of the public can choose a future they feel is best.
You could do the 'rule of 5' though and have a confidence of 99.3%, which is pretty close to 99.
As mentioned in the article, I pronounce it "sir hat", but you can pronounce it any way you like.
Didn’t bliblah’s last paragraph address this? Also, so what if it is just entertainment. It’s still fascinating to some people how much of an outlier among outliers these people are.

I did mixed martial arts for 10 years and sparred with someone who eventually went on to be a semi finalist on The Ultimate Fighter. He easily destroyed me and he couldn’t make it in the UFC. How much more of an outlier is Khabib or Mcgregor? I did Ph.D. studies in mathematics at a group 1 reasearch imstituion. Went to a talk by a graduate student from Berkeley in the same area as me and in school for the same length of time as me. It was clear I would never know as much as him or be as good as him. I quit my Ph.D. program shortly afterwards. I knew I wasn’t good enough to do worthwhile research in math. Outliers among outliers.
Are you aware of anyone who has recreated the process, except with a large pool of different FPGAs from different manufacturers and running designs on a random one each time?

I'd imagine with even a moderate pool (~10?) the variation falls away and you're left with a robust design, although the process will take significantly longer.
How much charge ? Can you refer the guy if possible?
I use Roundcube for webmail, which auto-collects outgoing addresses in an address book (and you can obviously manually add addresses as well). I have a script that periodically exports the address book for each user and uses that as a post-Bayes filter; anything from a known address is automatically whitelisted, and if it would have been marked as spam by Bayes then it is also trained as ham. It works pretty well.
> If you actually look at the court case, the guy won because the contract was unclear on its terms, not because such terms are inadmissable in general.

They are. Quote from the courts press release:

> Der vertragliche Ausschluss jeder zusätzlichen Vergütung von Mehrarbeit war wegen Intransparenz nach § 307 Abs. 1 Satz 2 BGB unwirksam.

§307 Abs. 1 Satz 2 is "Unangemessene Benachteiligung" (see https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/bgb/__307.html), a lopsided clause that favors one party of the contract, usually the stronger party.

The court ruled that the terms are unclear because it is not known to the employee how many hours he might have to work for his wage. A clause stipulating unlimited unoaid overtime can never fulfill that requirement. Thus unlimited overtime is inadmissible in the general case, except for the cases I listed previously.

The relevant quote from the ruling (which is linked from the courts press release) is:

"a) Die Parteien haben zwar in Tz. 4.4. des Arbeitsvertrags bestimmt, dass der Kläger für Über- und Mehrarbeit keine gesonderte Vergütung erhalte. Diese Regelung ist jedoch nach § 307 Abs. 1 Satz 1 BGB unwirksam, weil sie nicht klar und verständlich ist, § 307 Abs. 1 Satz 2 BGB."

and

"Eine die pauschale Vergütung von Überstunden regelnde Klausel ist nur dann klar und verständlich, wenn sich aus dem Arbeitsvertrag selbst ergibt, welche Arbeitsleistungen in welchem zeitlichen Umfang von ihr erfasst werden sollen. Der Arbeitnehmer muss bereits bei Vertragsschluss erkennen können, was gegebenenfalls „auf ihn zukommt“ und welche Leistung er für die vereinbarte Vergütung maximal erbringen muss (BAG 1. September 2010 - 5 AZR 517/09 - Rn. 15 mwN, BAGE 135, 250; 17. August 2011 - 5 AZR 406/10 - Rn. 14 mwN, EzA BGB 2002 § 612 Nr. 10)."

> > You can include clauses that allow limited unpaid overtime, for example "36 hours per week and up to 16 hours of unpaid overtime per month", but then, as an employee, you should treat that as a 40 hours contract.

> That's besides the point. The question is, is that paid overtime? If you ask me, it isn't because any extra hour worked doesn't translate into extra money.

That's why I said "if your contract stipulates unpaid overtime, treat is as part of your regular work time." If you get to work less, fine, but assume you have to work the maximum time stipulated in the contract. (weekly time plus max overtime)

> from what I read in other places, it seems commonplace.

I'd not call it commonplace, but in some areas it's not uncommon. It's still inadmissible in most cases, but as I said before, people don't sue so companies don't learn their lesson.
The people in US churches are welcoming. But the society isn't. The individual under duress is always losing the time value of money by going to Church instead of bettering their financial condition.

Heck, an entire political party blames individuals under duress for their own financial condition.

This would not happen as much in the east. While time value of money exists, life so cheap that people can take time off, anytime in their life, just go to a church and heal. And no political party will blame them for their financial condition. They will always get resources from other people, for free, just because they are in need.
Yeah, I have the similar need. I want to use <slot> mechanism, so I need shadow DOM, but I'd like to re-use styles, so that they don't need to be copied to each instance of the component. Aside from complicating things, it seems wasteful. It should be possible to use styles from the document's CSS to style the innards of a web component.

I'm still learning, and I'm still missing solution to this.

I know about var(--custom-prop), but that's limited, and still doesn't help with the waste of useless duplication of styles.
You get the help that you pay for.

I know you want to believe that the world is a good place and someone who's suffering enough to consider death as an alternative can be helped easily and cheaply, but that just isn't the reality we live in. My experience is that free help is a bunch of minimum-effort volunteers. Depression can be a very complicated thing and it isn't well understood by very many people, often even the expensive professionals just throw drugs at it.
One of the things that doesn't get talk about enough or at all in these kinds of conversations is the support system that gets built around these "greats".

For example if a team believes they have an amazing talent they're much more likely to spend money to surround them with other great/good talent on and off the ice/field/court.

The "tanking" strategy being employed by a lot of teams the past decade or so is more evolved version of this. Teams will basically lose on purpose to stock up on high valued draft picks for years then pay for high end coaches and veterans of the sport once they believe they have enough talent.

I believe this can also be applied outside of sports like education with private tutors, etc.
I guess I'm not persuaded by the whole thread through the articles of angles and polygons having direction, clockwise vs counter-clockwise and whatnot. If the loops are just sharp angles, then every polygon within [-2, 2] is identical to some polygon outside [-2, 2].

This disconnect is perhaps most obvious at a couple of ends of the spectrum.

a) The digon (2-sided polygon). Euclidean geometry assumes lines are atomic and have no inner structure. So a digon would be just a line segment.

b) The monagon (1-sided polygon). If the loops are just points then this is just a line (extending to infinity).

Perhaps polygons made of directional lines (rays but also distinguishing loops from non-loops) are a distinct, internally consistent non-euclidean geometry.
I think this issue is over played a bit sometimes.

1. Satellites can kill themselves by dropping back into the atmosphere by their own propulsion system

2. Even if they fail, most of these are low enough that the time until they fall is reasonable short.

3. The objects are known and tracked so even if they are out of control, the others will avoid them.

4. We are moving into a world with cheap access to space and lots of satellites we need service satellites anyway and multiple are in development. This could be a legal requirement but even without it will develop because SpaceX doesn't want to have debris flying around on 'their' plane.

yes we have buses all over. Some cool maps and stuff for them too. But, the timing and such is limited. (also serious lack of sidewalks, bus stop covers and other issues)

recently... girl lives near the airport, has job at X big box store, 12 minute drive from here. Bus routes from here take you down to 'antioch' then back into the city, where you need to junction with another bus to get back a few miles south of city.

Depending on time of day, the scheduling puts it at 2 hours 20 minutes to get to work. When big box store needs you to be there at open, you need to leave for work at 3am... but no buses run at 3, so you have to leave at 11pm to get to work at 6am.

Getting home via bus is easier though.

admittedly the bus service does take care of certain 'economically challenged" areas better - if you live in Antioch you can jump on a bus to get downtown in much less time. If you needed to connect to go south again, it's still silly, but shaves about 30 minutes off (one hour fifty minutes).

I long for the day of smart voltron like buses, guess I should post about it since our city just cant get transport right.
We know that fusion is possible. We have H-bombs. We have various things that do small scale fusion. Getting out more power than is put in remains way out of reach.
This is known as Kessler syndrome.

It could make orbital planes unusable, but is generally thought not to pose a substantial problem for launching through them, so worst case we just have to start putting satellites a bit higher.

I concur. I worked for awhile in a software company where the CEO was literally the boss who had his secretary print out his email so he could read it.

it's perfectly possible for techies to do the managing and politics.

Let's say there are 6 trials -- name them x1, x2, x3, y1, y2, y3.

In the case of checking if x is faster than y 3 times, you're doing x1 < y1 AND x2 < y2 AND x3 < y3.

In the case of checking if all three measurements of x are smaller than all three measurements of y, you're checking x1 < y1 AND x1 < y2 AND x1 < y3 AND x2 < y1 AND x2 < y2 AND x2 < y3 AND x3 < y1 AND x3 < y2 AND x3 < y3.

In other words, the latter case is checking whether the slowest x of three trials is faster than the fastest y of three trials.

What an AMAZING idea, I can't believe that NO ONE EVER thought of paying more to attract employees!

Econ-101: wages go up when demand for services requires employers to bid for the labor (i.e. pay raises)

Of course if you do a quick economic analysis, you realize that it's a zero sum game.

While employers are running an infinite loop of stealing from each other via compensation one upmanship - There is still going to be a Million job openings unfilled.

Did raising pay to attract employees away from other companies increase the size of the workforce???? Duuuuuuhhhh...NOPE

Will higher pay increase the workforce participation? somewhat but the folks on the sidelines are mostly entry level skillsets and the one that have advanced skillsets already had an ability to get a higher paying job (i.e. they are sitting on the sideline by choice not because of low pay).

Will immigration solve it? somewhat, but not at the current pace. Plus there is this dilemna... are we going to allow entry level skillsets in or advanced skillsets? since the bulk of the currently available unhired workers are entry level skillsets, immigration of entry level skills will help keep them on the sideline. If we allow higher skilled immigrants, then we hear about companies laying off employees and having them train their replacements.

Hard to believe this Economist has any credibility after proposing this monumentally simple minded and STUPID solution.
When comparing the actual height of a mountain, they're measured from their base (which is whatever elevation the ground they sit on is) to their peak, rather than just looking at their peak altitude. This is how you compare mountains on other planets, and why Mons Olympus on Mars is the tallest mountain in the solar system. For Mauna Kea, the mountain is taller than it looks because its base sits at the bottom of the ocean, whereas Everest sits on an already-lofty piece of continental plate.
Right, basically, in a different context accrding to this principle volcanoes at higher altitudes (say close to andes but not in the andes proper) are not as tall as more coastal/lower altitude volcanoes, if the cone’s rise isn't as high.
Back then the rocket scientists from JPL and MIT had dozens of aerospace contractors where they could go, and science would be moved forward. Nowadays, the rocket scientists join any of the dozens of hedge funds, but some go work for SpaceX. This is the stagnation of outsourcing.

For at least a very, very long time, I see Quantum Computers as simply being "accelerators" that do very niche tasks. Like GPUs or FPGAs today. I'm sure one day we'll have a whole other paradigm, but I doubt Quantum Computing as we envision it today will be the thing that replaces x86-compatible silicon.
(MacStories)Panic’s Transmit Returns to the Mac App Store
I don't really care why I'm being downvoted, nor did I ask. It's not relevant. I'll continually double down on this point regardless, unless you can actually refute what I'm saying instead of (like the others) trying to point out perceived inconsistencies in what I'm saying, or attacking points I didn't make.

I already made my substantive criticism. You cannot extrapolate the results of a survey evaluated over a 1 - 2 week period to the modal opinion of the American population. To spell it out for you: I vehemently disagree that you can adequately randomly sample a representative subset of the American population in a two week period.

Do you have a substantive rebuttal to that criticism? Evaluate my point on its own merits, not whether or not it's coming from a throwaway account (which this is not).

To put it bluntly, I'm a little stunned no one else is considering that survey as critically as I am. Even if it's ultimately a sound methodology, it's pretty frustrating for that to be taken as an uncontroversial fact without any challenge.

I think that people vastly overestimate how much detective work that employers do, when hiring people.

I don't think companies are searching people's Twitter or Facebook accounts for controversial statements. The furthest that most would go is to call up a reference or talk to a previous employer.

Hiring committees don't have time to scrutinize every little last comment that someone has made.
Right, I got that much. I'm asking, how do you rigorously distinguish "the base" from the rest of the earth (or that earth from the mountain itself)?

Edit: IOW, if Kea's base were on some raised ocean floor, when do you count that as part of Kea too?
Going down this rabbit hole eventually leads you to nonparametric statistical tests, e.g. Mann-Whitney-U and so on.

> You don't think writers see and care about how many clicks or views their articles get?

I think they care, but even so, they would write about FaceBook because it gets clicks, not because the org is mad at Facebook. The Times being mad at Facebook isn't what makes people click on the articles. It's people being mad at Facebook that gets them to click. There is no one in the chain of approval for content that would care about the loss of revenue from Facebook and specifically tell them to target Facebook for bad articles.

They would say, "hey writing about FaceBook gets us lots of views, do more of that".
