People also can't drive in all conditions, so it's kind of a trivial statement.

I learned to drive around Ottawa, where freezing rain and white-outs happened occasionally. At some point the wise choice was to put the hazard lights on, pull to the side of the road, and wait for it to be over.

Presumably self-driving cars will also be able to do that. So it's not clear what the difference will be, other than that self-driving cars are likely to be more analytical about the risks of proceeding vs. stopping.
The cause was not known; this is the point of the story. Hypothesis generation is not a rational process.
It's amazing that how everyone but Apple knows how to run their business.
No. There is no doctor patient relationship created in this situation.
Same story with worker's compensation in Washington State. It's really not even worth applying without a lawyer and a few thousand dollars at least to gamble that you can prove that the pain is caused by work. The word of your actual doctors means nothing and only the five minute consultation by their hacks determines your fate, a consultation whose result is known ahead of time: denied. And this is a state run program allegedly ran for the benefits of the workers paying into it. Yeah right. A bunch of bullshit we wouldn't need to deal with if we had proper healthcare in this country. But instead, this is the way America treats its workers. Why would we expect anything better for disability?
What does Radio Free Asia have to do with Signal? The only connection is that OTF, which is an RFA project, decided to spend money on open privacy and cryptography tools.

Signal has repeated the reason they use phone number identifiers ad nauseam. The goal of Signal is to make text messaging secure. Those are the roots of the project. You're confusing the application with the underlying technology, which Signal has published and many other projects have exploited.
I'm not trying to play with words...by EM I mean Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz force law. I think that's the conventional meaning. The point is that these two are taught in an EM class as if it's a single coherent theory that tells you what point charges do.

Mass distributions don't solve the issue in a satisfactory way, in my opinion. If you replace a particle with a finite size sphere you've solved the infinity but lost relativistic invariance. You could perhaps come up with a way to hold the charge distribution together in a relativistically invariant way, but that can hardly be considered part of EM, and might involve arbitrary choices. That a dipole behaves differently than a monopole is clear. That's already the case even if you ignore the self interaction.

The question "What happens if I put an electron in a uniform magnetic field?" or "What happens if I have two electrons?" seems like it should be answered by EM. One can hardly ask a simpler question. I'm pretty sure that most physics students who've had an EM course are under the impression that they should be able to answer this question. When I was in such a class it was never explained that this was even an issue, and when I asked about it the answer I got was "just wait for QED".

If you don't like the word "schizophrenic" for this issue, that's cool. I think it's descriptive, but YMMV. Wald's slides say:

> Classical Electrodynamics as Taught in Courses

> At least 95% of what is taught in electrodynamics
courses at all levels focuses on the following two separate
problems: (i) Given a distribution of charges and/or
currents, find the electric and magnetic fields (i.e., solve
Maxwell’s equations with given source terms). (ii) Given
the electric and magnetic fields, find the motion of a
point charge (possibly with an electric and/or magnetic
dipole moment) by solving the Lorentz force equation
(possibly with additional dipole force terms).

That's all I meant by it.

Wald's slides are interesting, thanks :)

1) buy as little as possible - buy used if possible.

2) buy as cheap as possible.

3) invest your money in green initiatives.

That way I don't think you'll go all wrong.
Yup. I've got a 20 year old BMW with 150k miles on it, and it's a fantastic car. But things wear out.

Electric or ICE, as you hit 150-200k, you'll have long since worn through all kinds of rubber bushings on virtually every part, you'll be approaching the point where you've had to replace starter or alternator, you'll have (hopefully) replaced your suspension a couple of times, and so on. As the value continues to decline, the 'value' of spending parts+labor money on any of these replacements starts to decline.
A lot of smart phones? Maybe I'm not a discerning enough Android fanboy, but none of my phones have had removable batteries:

> the US National Intelligence Agency

It's a joint report by the US Intelligence Community. There is no “US National Intelligence Agency”; the position of Director of National Intelligence was created to specifically split the role of overall head of the intelligence community (the DNI) from the head of a particular agency (the overall head of the IC used to be the Director of the CIA.)
The upshot may well be that this gentleman and/or this publication no longer receives embargoed information anymore, at least for a time.

RTX 2060 has Tensor cores on a mainstream, desktop offering, which might be of some interest if you want to play with deep learning at home

Edit: I'm also sticking with a GTX 970 right now, mainly because I game at 1080p. When I can't get a consistent 1080p@30FPS (though I prefer 1080p@60FPS) then I will consider upgrading. Right now I'm CPU bound, not GPU bound, in any title where I get sub-60FPS.
> This also seems like a good job for machine learning eventually.

I'm not sure what "this" you mean (testing the doctors or testing the patients), but I'd argue the opposite. ML is great at performing tests we understand, and is terrible at determining things we aren't sure how to determine.

In this case, either you are checking to see if someone is truly disabled (which we don't have a good test for other than doctors, and see how that's working out) or you are checking to see if a doctor is being wrong in their evaluation, and if you can't perform the evaluation, figuring out if the doctor is skimping won't be easier.

And of course, even if you develop a perfect test, because of the incentives people will find a way to abuse it, and machines aren't likely to notice that they are now being played.

Gives developers who have small indy projects a reason to use Github rather than a competitor (I know I use gitlab precisely because it's free for my private one-off repos).
There is a vast amount of regulation at play now. On techcrunch I read an article that said developers now have to use super computers to analyze all the regulations, in order to plan constructions now, all due to over-regulation.

The demon lurking in the corner here is the a priori assumption that we know enough about nucleic acids to be confident in our knowledge of how they'll behave once compiled.

I.e., i write some code, hit F5, and yeast comes out the other side of the compiler-machine. How confident can I be while debugging that the changes in behavior between the compiled output (yeast) and my code are bugs versus as-yet-unknown behaviors of complex molecules bumping into each other in a very crowded bag of other complex molecules sitting in a dish somewhere? As of right now, and I posit, as a biological researcher, for a very long time to come, the answer is "A lot less than 100%". Simple stuff like gene-toggle switches [0] have been known and pretty much work since the late 90s, but scaling is deeply nonlinear.

This doesn't mean that synbio is useless, but it means that the error bars are a lot higher than they are when you're running code on printed circuits and can have a high degree of confidence that your computational substrate actually does what you think it does.

I think "choose" isn't even the right term. Everyone has it in them to be happy, but it's way harder for some people than others.
That is why I said I don't know how to take this.

Yes, a democracy needs an informed electorate to function. But it is the electorate's responsibility to keep themselves informed. There will always be fake news, click baits and outright wrong/illegal manoeuvers from someone or the other.

IMHO, if the electorate can't take a few mins to understand what they are voting on, they don't deserve to vote.

It looks like the State Department doesn't keep such a statistic, but the estimate is in the vicinity of 2%.

It's definitely non-zero, but there's also no evidence actual percentage of expats has increased even if reported desire to become one has increased.
I used to think the same and didn't like the move to the larger phones. Harder to use with one hand, more bulky to carry around.

But then I fired up my old iPhone 5 and quickly appreciated the larger screen of the iPhone 8. Although I still like holding the smaller one better.

> I don't know how to take this - one way to look at it is democracy won and people spoke

Democracy failed here. People elect representatives for a reason. Normal people shouldn't be expected to understand the complexities and nuances of a public policy decision. It should have been the responsibility of the elected representatives to have reasoned discussions, to weigh the pros and cons etc. and finally make decision for the people they represent. They abdicated on their most basic duty and we are in this mess now.
From the article:

"Like Thrush, some of these doctors work very fast.

Dr. Kanika Chaudhuri, a pediatrician, evaluated 3,872 cases last fiscal year, averaging more than four cases per hour when she worked. She earned $192,000 in fiscal 2018 and $1.1 million since 2013.

Out of all the cases Chaudhuri reviewed over the five years, 78 percent were denied, according to data provided by the state."
DPDK switched to meson/ninja. It's great.
The X2 is two years older than the iPhone SE and the successor (Z3) is 45% larger. I'm not sure how anyone can reasonably conclude it's a replacement.
There's also this interesting and devastating phenomenon I read about a while ago: in some places where bamboo grows (IIRC, one or more of the north-eastern Indian states, like Assam, is one of them), there are periodic famines or at least great shortages of food, and hence human deaths or migration, due to rats breeding like mad due to bamboo's flowering (which the rats eat - could be flowers or seeds) or something, every some number of years, and then when the bamboo food is over, they invade human habitation to continue getting food. Not sure if it is a solved problem yet.

While understandable, this is sad to see. The amount of interesting and useful code that is currently available due to GitHub defaulting to public will likely be seriously negatively impacted by this.
I don't get the pyramid representation? Why not just a list?

Is the "How" more important because it's on top, or the least important because it's smaller? Or is it the first thing to talk about?
Larger screens tend to lead to people to use their phones more, which results in more app purchases[0]. (which results in more money being made in Apple's services division). It's a way to offset the decrease in new phone sales.

They'll probably never sell a 500mi EV just like they don't sell cars that go 500mi on a tank. EPA range on most cars will touch 400mi but that's about it. If anything, gas tanks are getting smaller as fuel efficiency goes up. Gas tanks take space, carry a heavy fuel that, in turn, reduces fuel economy, and so on. Batteries cost money. The only reason to make an EV with a greater range than most gas cars is if recharging is slow. The range then offsets charge time on the rare roadtrip. If you can charge your car quickly, suddenly there's not even a reason to have more than 200mi range. Already the 310mi range on our Tesla 3 seems a bit excessive when I've only had to supercharge it twice, and mostly I just get home and don't bother plugging it in because it doesn't NEED a charge every day.
World War 2.8.41 Release Notes
No, I never comment without reading the article.

But it strikes me as no different from any other divination. If it's true that "these errors really were predictable", why are they writing only after the fact, and why only about Apple?

Every time a stock goes up, down, or stays level, journalists and bloggers come up with some justification for it, and say that it was obvious in hindsight. It's usually plausible, but if it's so obvious, why can't they ever predict it?

If in Apple's case it's all because of product/market issues with the iPhone line, then why does it happen to correlate almost exactly with the Dow losses? Is this really an Apple error at all? Is Apple failing because they can't weather the same storm as everyone else without even getting wet?
Ask HN: Will working for online sports betting company ruin my reputation
I live in NY and am considering a role at an online sports betting company in NJ (gambling is legal in NJ). It's a legitimate company and the money is good. However, I'm worried that in the future people will see this on my resume and think I'm sketchy. Is that a valid concern or am I over thinking this?
Yeah I'd imagine that GitHub Enterprise and org subscriptions are their primary source of income. User subscriptions never really made much sense to me.
I didn’t mention military spending or any other spending. I mentioned returns on taxation. What we get in return for our taxes in the U.S. is an overly expensive healthcare system, overly expensive education system, etc. and the only thing that really shines is the military. Hence, I’m disatisfied with the returns on taxation.

I only recommend Apple stuff to relatives because they can go to a store when they need help. I wish companies like Google, HP, Dell, Samsung, and any other big consumer tech companies would open their own stores.

A secondary reason is that I still think Apple has a pretty big advantage when it comes to security and privacy. When you see Google starting to push RCS messaging with no default encryption you realize how little they really care about their user's privacy.

That said, the only Apple hardware I own is an iPad.
There’s plenty of FOMO at lower income levels. You don’t want to gamble that there won’t be an offer after the one you know you have. It’s harder to ‘afford’ turning down offers.

IMO it’s a perfectly reasonable survival strategy.

So this is just the often-mocked empty-threat to move to an idealized Canada that's commonly made by politically dissatisfied (partisan) Americans?

Too bad HN doesn't allow following users. :-D
Thanks. Any implications for the initial reviewer(s) if further reviews reverse the initial decision? Doesn't seem like doctors should be compensated if their decision is found to be incorrect.
I think you missed the point.

For example, as a young child I hated meat, and it wasn't until years later that I figured out that it was because my jaw got sore very quickly when having to chew a lot. My parents tried very hard to get me to eat meat back then, but if they had not pushed me, but instead let me be and listened to me, they might have figured it out. This one sounds a lot like the hand-licking case in TFA.

For another example, as a child I sugar-lowed very often. More than once I went to my parents feeling very sick and my dad just took my temperature and said "you're fine" when in fact the temp. was rather low and a sign of sugar lowing. It would have been very nice to have figured this out years earlier than I eventually did. The worst sugar low I remember happened while I was 16 and driving home from a movie theater (where I'd had a huge candy bar and soda), and I had no idea what was up. At one point I was driving on a long, windy, hilly, busy two-way street, with a passenger, and I felt like I was going to die at any moment. I could have killed someone because of something trivial that no one stopped to think about.

Here's another: I used have episodes of losing eyesight for a few seconds. My dad actually took me to an ophtalmologist's office where they did a battery of tests on me and never found the issue. Eventually I figured it out one time when I passed out after a blood draw: I was having low blood pressure episodes. This one is a case where doctors were unable to figure out something rather trivial.

Here's another: as a kid my mom used to be punished for what turned out to be bad eyesight. What the heck!

Books like "What to Expect While Expecting" and "What to Expect the First Year" are fantastic and very useful to parents. Imagine a "Debugging for Parents" book that taught, among other things, not to see every odd behavior as misbehavior. Wouldn't that be fantastic?! I think it would be.
