Or 2 questions

1. Do you want to remain?
2. Do you accept the negotiated deal?

As a remainer, the idea of a vote split is nice, I don't think its fair or defensible and just stores issues for later as Brexiteers wont accept the result.
> Consistent style is important

Many things are important. Some things are more important than others, and I'd say that "not making a thousand developers' workflows more cumbersome" is higher on the list than style issues.

> If ... I make a change that breaks you but my tests pass, you don't know it.

So don't do that. Open-source projects deal with this exact same issue across repos and owners all the time. There are responsible ways to do it. Mostly they involve learning to communicate as peers, with respect, instead of "core" teams imposing their neophile opinions on everyone else. If we're all at the same company, regardless of whether we use one repo or many, there's no excuse for you not to validate your changes against other groups' tests as well as your own. Diligence does not depend on a particular repo structure.
Everyone has the right to education. Right now it is an artificially limited resources, which hurts future society and hampers social mobility, working in direct opposition to the promised American Dream.
True. But that form is a convenience, not a requirement.
where an intransigent minority of people have forced a large percentage of food to be certified

This is very specific to tolerant Western culture. A 1% minority anywhere else in the world would be at best ignored and more likely steamrollered into conformity.
Hossenfelder is speaking about the type of consciousness she herself posses, while in your argument you are talking of such consciousness as Batman might have.

Is this the underlying misunderstanding?
That sure is a nice line of propaganda the bosses fed you, isn’t it? Only a loser would join a union, and you aren’t a loser!
This question — is maths discovered or invented? — was discussed at length in a recent BBC series: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bn9dth
True, but a Gaussian distribution's mode is its mean.
>Most of us believe the world being this meritocracy

I feel like I notice this more in my dev friends than my non dev friends. I wonder why?
Mandelbrot cosmology offers some interesting potential resolutions, but more research definitely needs to be done.
"Blind spots" are a sociological device to absolve motorists of responsibility for dangerous driving.
It was mostly the tech industry putting in the money against it: Stripe, Lyft, Jack Dorsey. Arguably the mayor of SF is a puppet of the tech industry. It passed with 60%.

> You say it’s exclusively the government’s job to preserve affordable housing, not the tech industry. Ok. We just passed Prop C, a comprehensive measure to prevent homelessness. Guess who opposed it?

The mayor of San Francisco and a bunch of other individuals and businesses, including tech companies, who don't want to throw more money away pursuing the same bad policies as before.

There were also major tech CEOs in favor of the measure, including Benioff who pushed hard for it.

I predict that it will have very little impact on the homelessness problem or housing affordability in San Francisco.
While it is a concern that formulation of cell culture media has been static, as you point out, it's not really the greatest concern, nor is it a new concern.

For a lot of fields, culture medium is not that important as long as you can run controlled experiments reproducibly. The data produced still must be tested for any greater hypothesis than "Drug X causes an upregulation of gene Y in 293 cells." Not including that rigor, or at least that precise caveat, is sloppy science. That happens some, but unfortunately, a lot of science journalism enhances these opportunities for imprecision. That's how you get to headlines like "Drug X prevents cancer!" or later, "Drug X actually CAUSES cancer!"

This is hard to solve. On the one hand, it is important to be effective communicators with the public (who do fund most of this work) and not to sit closed-lipped in an ivory tower, but on the other hand, most people are not prepared to understand the majority of the science that goes on in academic labs, or appreciate the importance or nuance. What are we supposed to do in the end? (I may be slightly off topic here).

Anyway, yes, DMEM, F12K, RPMI, etc are not perfect, no, but it's important not discount the good science that has been achieved with them. With anything, it is important to have good experimental design.

Unconvinced, with respect. Patents and systems of intellectual property are also codes that create space and time, in this case financial. Without them, scientific and engineering discovery/invention has often (usually?) tended to collapse in on itself.
Cool, sorry if I jumped the gun... I recently had to deal with some SW using DynamoDB for no special reason, so I'm a bit touchy about it. :)

anti-de Sitter universes are bounded by a horizon. The example given in the article is an Escher print with an infinite number of tiles bounded by a circle. They get smaller as they get closer to the edge, but there's an infinitude of them, so you have a universe that is infinite from "inside", but "from the outside", there's an outer boundary. As far as occupants of a hyperbolic universe go, they can't see the horizon directly because there's an infinite number of tiles between them and the edge.

That boundary has lower dimensionality than the universe itself (the Escher universe boundary is 1D and the interior is 2D).

Holographic duality is where you can describe the entire interior of the universe by characterizing "stuff happening" on the boundary- that the stuff happening inside the universe looks 2D, but is fundamentally one dimensional. Real-world holograms work like this- they encode a 3D scene onto a 2D substrate.

Our universe is not anti-de Sitter- it appears to be flat and does not pack away nicely into a bounded area like the Escher universe does, so it's as yet unclear how to apply the stuff they've found in their model universe to our own.
All I see is an escalation on both sides, the one that is really going to hurt here is Tesla since it's their infrastructure.
I hear you. I'm unable to even tolerate the dystopian traffic these days. Austin is going to NIMBY itself straight to hell. Eventually the infrastructure just plain isn't going to work anymore. A breaking point exists out there and they're stubbornly barreling towards it. I was born in Austin in the eighties and I can't stand going back anymore, even for a visit. I hate it there.
Not sure if it's related but this lecture gave me some basic grasp on the notion of holographic representations

Does contributing to open-source companies increase chance of a job there?
As the title says, Does contributing to open-source companies such as:

- Gitlab

- Ghost

- Discourse

- Edx

- Google(Angular, Flutter, Tenserflow)

- Facebook(React, React Native, Jest)

Increases (Dramatically) Chances of getting a job at said companies? to a point where said companies reach out to the contributor?
Having been in the Bay Area startup scene for 20 years (and now through acquisition working for one of the big tech companies) I think the reason so many startups are here is because they can hire the experienced developers that will make their startup succeed. There is a whole ecosystem here and that can't be duplicated easily (or at all).
Do the demo assets have a less restrictive license?
Totally. The complexity has to go somewhere.
Would love to get feedback!
As someone who is living there right now, I don't think that is an accurate depiction of Ohio unless you are way outside of a city. Columbus for example is basically a 10 mile circle of sprawling suburbia centered by a relatively small downtown. Your statement is analogous to saying California is just hundreds of miles of hills and mountains and forests while discounting the major epicenters that exist.
Unfortunately this article gives me an HTTP 451 (I'm GDPR-walled)

It's easy to circumvent, but perhaps we shouldn't support sites that are so hostile to their users they block places with sane data protection laws.

Last time I looked, I didn't manage to find it anywhere...

Sounds like if you imagine the universe as a sphere, like we (me?) "normally" do (3 dimensions), you use volume to describe its contents. Well... I think what they're saying is that the outside of the sphere, in this case the universe, just its surface, describes everything (all the information) inside of it... because in fact the volumetric area we know as the universe is a projection of a "flat" surface.

And... like I'm not very smart, but this is probably a bit like the non-euclidean space demo from yesterday's front page, where the geometry is doing really weird things... perhaps someone smart will come along and give a proper explanation.
There's also Hy:

"hy - A dialect of Lisp that's embedded in Python"
Not true, you can rip 4K BluRays with the right drive.
But more than 10% of accidents. A quick Google search turns up 20% of accidents happening in parking lots. Now those are likely to be lower speed than highway, but still something to keep in mind.
Ive been toying with the idea of doing like some period of time of only eating at 3 start and under restaurants on yelp and seeing how it goes. i thought it it would be interesting to write about it

>Well, except for Hillary's email server.

Or the fact that she was the Secretary of State while her husband's charity was accepting millions of dollars in donations from leaders of foreign countries (the very same people who the American people were relying on her to oppose whenever their interests conflicted with those of the American people).
And MagSafe. Please bring back MagSafe.
Most other (international) metros are owned by private entities (which may be owned by the government (e.g. Tokyo metro which is owned by both the Japanese government and the Tokyo government)).

If you let the city own the MTA, they'll never make hard decisions because they'll be at the mercy of voters.
This is one of those things that most people do wrong and just aren't comfortable doing it the correct way. I tried to get my mother to setup her mirrors correctly but she just puts them back to an improper setup. For some reason people can't get past not being able to see the side of their own vehicle in their side mirrors. They think they need this reference point. Drivers education should really be pushing this so at least new drivers will setup their mirrors correctly.
I bought a used car and it came with the sticky convex ones applied. Never going to go without them again, they should totally be mandatory. So simple, so effective
If you read John Varley's Titan series or Neal Stephenson books like Seveneves they regularly call LaGrange points "L2", "L4", etc.

Never got around to Titan. I really liked Seveneves. I think Sonar Taxlaw is the most perfect woman, next to my wife. Nothing wrong with referring to L2, L4, L5...

I called it a lasso because, if you look at the diagram, it literally looks like a lasso.

Arrgh! That would be like when my grade school teacher called the LEM the "moonwalker" because it looked like it could walk around on the moon.
A physical guitar tuner is pretty cheap, so yeah that does seem strange.

Counter point though - not all tuning is equal. e.g.

Church organs. At the churches I used to attend this was considered a legit risk factor - the people capable of tuning an organ are old, scare, dying & not keen on traveling. What are we gonna do when X dies was a real issue.
XSB Prolog seems interesting to me, but seems it has only Java Interface, no JavaScript/Node.js? Any more info about similar for JavaScript would be appreciated by me
In a type safe C++ style, 'meters' would be a numeric-like class with explicit casting operators etc.

No he didn't, stop making stuff up. Apple would not have bothered to mention the battery issue if it didn't have a material impact on their business.
Berkeley is pretty great. I actually preferred it to SF when I lived there. Lots of Oakland is fantastic too.

But I agree with you for the most part. Basically all of the bay built in the last 70 years is garbage. As the writer of "Ghostride the Volvo" put it, Fremont's just a parking lot with a mayor.
How are Tesla or its users escalating, by wanting to charge their vehicles?
It's moreso because rent can't be increased to match the market price of the home.
Yes, but devs are a lot more replaceable than stars, whose faces and performance represent the movie
So, let's imagine you have a function that takes a phase space (ie, the positions, momentum, etc of a bunch of particles in normal 3+1 space time) as an argument and produces an evolution of that phase space in time. It's got a bunch of rules in the function regarding gravity.

Now imagine you've new function, which also takes a phase space as an argument, but instead of operating in 3 spacial dimensions, it has five. And that it doesn't have any rules regarding gravity.

Now imagine, you have a one to one mapping between states in those functions. So you can take a state in 3d space, translate it to 4d space -- run both functions for the same amount of time, and they both should produce states which you can still map to each other.
Or equally fairly, how much we dont understand.

One of the reasons I like that series is they seem intent to do some justice to competing theories and the fact that we still don't really have a working model of the universe, or know answers as to why theories work the way they do.

Anyways this article was a really hard read for me. It's like the relatively-readable paragraphs are laughing at me--written like I should be understanding them, but I don't, ie:

>The best error-correcting codes can typically recover all of the encoded information from slightly more than half of your physical qubits, even if the rest are corrupted. This fact is what hinted to Almheiri, Dong and Harlow in 2014 that quantum error correction might be related to the way anti-de Sitter space-time arises from quantum entanglement.
If an existing process allows for it then I wouldn't consider that a "take-back." I guess it depends on the system involved.

You can't just decide a vote doesn't count because you don't like the outcome, though. Setting that precedent would mean no one who disagreed with a result would ever accept its legitimacy. There has to be a limit set somewhere.
Are there any good sources on the Chinese space program's change in naming convention? It seems like the older programs have names like "Long March" or "The East is Red", but they've now converged to the more common tradition of using mythology/mysticism.
There's an even simpler, more effective way of checking blind spots: Actually turning ones head and looking over the shoulder.

The "blind spot" doesn't exist when drivers exercise proper caution and responsible driving behavior.

Of course, expecting this of drivers is unrealistically utopian. Nevertheless, a "blind spot" is just another excuse for unsafe drivers.
ITT: "The massive homelessness and income inequality in SF is totally not Tech's fault, this is normal in big cities!!"

The cognitive dissonance is mind boggling.
I'm not sure about the laws in US, but the right thing to do would be to get the car towed by the police or the owner of the infrastructure. Also a warning sign about it is needed.
I can deal with blindspots.

What boggles my mind is that some modern cars still have abnormally large ones. Cars with bad crash ratings get shat on but apparently designs with massive blindspots are totally OK.
Yes, or local storage — they're essentially the same as cookies in terms of UX.

I don't want to continue where I left off on another machine — right now I just want to see the thing in the first place.

If you expect people to sign in before they can see your content, presumably you expect they already know that they want your content — enough to overcome the hurdle of giving access to the 3rd-party account that you assume they already have or are willing to create.

Progressive enhancement!
I'm not clear on why you think this doesn't work to see lane-splitting motorcycles.

The idea is to have them work like a dual monitor setup - when part of an object moves off one screen, it's just then becoming visible on the second screen.

Most people set up their mirrors as if they wanted to read the same PDF on both screens simultaneously.
I remember seeing signs taped to lamp posts near this laundromat urging people to go to the hearing and complain about the shadow on the playground. I guess people went!
For what it's worth, I'm from Texas where I see actual lassos somewhat regularly, and I perfectly understood the phrasing here. Maybe it's just a regional difference in how the word "lasso" is understood.
Ask HN: Hot topics in Programming Languages research?
> My new rule is: if the wait is 30 minutes or more, I go somewhere else. No exceptions.

Eh, that seems pretty generous to me still. I won't wait more than five minutes or so. (i.e. if a table has already asked for bills and I'm just waiting for them to pay and clear out.) I'll give a bit more leeway if there's a seated area where my friends and I can get served drinks while we wait.
Took about 10 minutes to download and start, I also had half face rendering issue + lost some audio play randomly. FPS was low and cpu was hottie but it worked.

Apple is failing the same way IBM had failed. It saw itself as a hardware company with software only promoting hardware sales. Sure they have the app store and apple music but that's a sliver of their income.

Apple has both failed to diversify into other areas and run out of ways to innovate in current ones. I'm not sure why they went for autonomous cars when they were such a easy sell as a consumer electronics brand, they could have sold TVs and home theatre systems that are so much easier to use than existing ones without much effort.
I think a good illustration could be provided by the Gauss law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss%27s_law

It states that if you have a volume of space - say, a cube 1 meter side - containing some electric charges, and you calculate the total flux of the electric field across the boundary of that volume - that is, across the surface of that cube - then you'll find that total charge Q and total flux FF are proportional, FF = Q / epsilon_0 , where epsilon_0 is a fundamental constant. And that ratio doesn't in fact depend on shape or size of that volume of space.

That means Gauss law allows you to go along the boundary surface, calculate total electric flux and calculate the total charge inside the volume within that surface.

Similarly here, "holographically dual" means that you can derive important properties of matter inside some volume from properties which are observable on the boundary surface of that volume. What are those properties is another matter - but this duality principle says that there is a certain relation between them.
Then only build new housing and not new office buildings. The government has control over which building projects are approved. If there are no jobs here, people will not move here.

Technology companies do not benefit from sky-high housing prices. They'd be able to pay lower salaries if the housing wasn't so expensive. Only homeowners and landlords benefit from rising house prices.

Pets (especially dogs) are good for people's mental health. And they are messing with supply.

I disagree. Proper side view mirror alignment results in the car driver able to clearly see the dividing lines for a significant distance behind the car.

A vehicle following closely behind you does (or rather, should) not impede the side view mirrors.
