No, but she mentions the word "society" a lot and discusses its obligations. France and China are self evidently distinct societies.

So no, the requirement definitely is not there.

Wow, terrible that this is downvoted.
A quick google search says game developers make around $100k. That's a lot more than what the bottom 99% of musicians and actors make.

Let me know when there's a star developer who's name on the front of a video game cover will guarantee a moderate number of sales no matter how bad the game is. That's when the comparison against the top 0.1% of actors will make sense.
This is an integral part of a driving exam in the Netherlands. You are drilled to look over the shoulder for literally every maneuver (lane switch, turn, etc.) and if you fail to do it even once during the driving exam you will get a fail. In other news: driving test in the US is a complete joke.
I remember reading an old post by Gabriel Gonzales on exactly this topic: http://www.haskellforall.com/2015/09/how-to-make-your-haskel...

On the other hand, once I did get used to some of the infix operators, I started to really like some of them, i.e. how:

f data data

becomes

f <$> fancyData <*> fancyData

where what makes the data fancy might be validation, being in container like list, or even some sort of reactive-ui-component, like Flare library for Purescript does: http://try.purescript.org/?backend=flare
One thing it shows, is that at least that at&t has no international ambition for that TV/streaming service. If it did, it would pick a word that works well in many languages. Verge doesn't translate so well in french :)
That totally depends on who you pissed off, see Snowden.
Ask HN: Developer friend wants to help on for-profit side project
Hi HN,

What should I keep in mind when having friends help on a side project that could become commercially viable?

I have a project that I'm planning to turn into a SaaS product. One of my buddies (someone I've known for 5 years or more) is looking for "a fun project to work on", and we're going to meet up this evening to see if my project is interesting to him.

I'm concerned about how to both retain copyright/ownership of the product, and also compensate them if the project starts bringing in revenue. I have more experience than him, so I'd like to help mentor him, but I'm also excited to get a second pair of eyes and hands on the project.

This guy is solid, and we have a solid mutual friend. Should I have him sign a legal doc saying that I retain copyright over the codebase? Is something straightforwardly laid out in an email good enough? Is it a good idea to promise him compensation (like 120% of his hourly) if the project pulls in revenue?
How is this an escalation on anything but one side. Does Tesla have to compromise on existing because that bothers these troglodytes?
Related concepts, in the Netherlands they taught everyone to open their car door with the right hand, which makes your head turn and improves odds of spotting a cyclist.

> What do people think about a slow of service, then going into a full stop of service with significant communication? People would be nudged to find alternates and spill over isn't going to overwhelm alternate routes.

At least in the Brooklyn part, they previously shut down the M to beef it up to be able to handle the new riders. There has been ton of advertisement of the whole process, and descriptions about what to do instead. People have been planning around this for a while.

In other words, that's what's already happened.
Same can be said about philosophy. And therein lies a schism between physicists and philosophers that lasts for a few decades now, that has leads to them mostly avoiding each other and growing increasingly orthogonal arguments to avoid any chance of synthesis.

It absolutely was based on people being equal, yes, but all humans being equal does NOT imply an obligation on the Czech Republic to care for citizens in China's society.

It implies that both China and the Czech Republic are obligated to level out arbitrarily enforced class divisions in their own societies.

I thought that mutt and mongrel were synonyms. Is there some formal distinction?
Where did you see that? I could not find much on their site besides the press release.
I feel I don't have enough background information to understand this article.

>...space-time in the interior of the [anti-de Sitter] universe is a projection that emerges from entangled quantum particles living on its outer boundary

A projection? How would this differ if the quantum particles on the outside were not entangled?

>holographic “emergence” of space-time works like a quantum error-correcting code.

holographic in what way? and how is this similar to error correcting code?

>quantum error correction explains how space-time achieves its “intrinsic robustness,”

what is an example of this robustness in space-time?

>...error-correcting codes can recover the information from slightly more than half of your physical qubits, even if the rest are corrupted. This fact that hinted quantum error correction might be related to the way anti-de Sitter space-time arises from quantum entanglement.

how does the effectiveness of error correcting codes, being able to recover information despite 50% corruption, explain space-time?

if anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it. I find this interesting and important but am not smart enough to comprehend it.
Also, 'death camps'? That's mind-killing rhetoric. "Let's have a cold war" rhetoric.

The USA imprisons a way higher % of our population without trial than the Chinese do. Check the plea bargain stats. Is it China's place to try and police our internal problems?
The study of Black Holes with the lens of Quantum information has been an exciting sub-field of Physics for the past couple of years. If you are curious about it, I recommend Patrick Hayden's "The Quantum Computational Universe" lectures [0][1]. The first one is an introduction to Quantum computation and the second one is more in line with what this Quantamagazine article is about.

Where did the incident happen (cant click on reddit link)?
Doesn't mean that they are either. The entire premise of the comment I responded to was built on faulty analogies.
Turning your head means not looking forward.

You might think it is safe to operate a multi-ton death machine at death speeds while closing your eyes or looking backwards or whatever you're doing except looking forward.

But it is not.

Learn to use mirrors, so your peripheral vision remains on the most important thing: where you are going.

"Turning your head" is an unsafe way to avoid having properly set mirrors.

With properly set mirrors, one does not need to "turn your head" and stop looking where your car is going.

Frankly, "Turning your head" is just another excuse for unsafe drivers. Eyes forward and on the road my friend!

> What does "holographically dual" mean?

> What boundary are we talking about here?

"Boundary" refers to the boundary of Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. The model that is typically studied is that of five-dimensional AdS space for which the boundary is four-dimensional. One can now formulate a quantum field theory on this boundary that is "dual" to the theory in the interior in the sense that there is precise dictionary between quantities living on the boundary and quantities in the interior ("the bulk"). "Holographically" refers to the difference in dimensions of the theory living on the boundary and the one living in the bulk.
The low property tax thing is another favorite of the tech industry to target, to deflect blame from the elephant in the room (massive insatiable demand). There is a lot of validity here: there are cases where rich property owners are not paying their fair share in taxes. But it’s often a disingenuous argument meant just to deflect responsibility.

The property tax rules were originally passed to protect senior citizens from losing their homes because they couldn’t afford to pay surging tax rates. A boom happens, their house values go up, but they’re still living in fixed incomes.

I literally just read a Twitter exec, on Twitter, openly say that well seniors could just sell their homes. Nice! Great solution. Just leave, old people!

Or, they could just do a reverse mortgage. Sweet. Those are totally unproblematic for seniors, right?!

I just watched Hell or High Water which is about two guys that become bank robbers because their mom was going to lose their home to a reverse mortgage.
I'm sure you're right about how it feels, but "feeling like a step backwards" is normal for learning a new language since there's a learning curve. It seems hard to say if it's actually worse? You didn't start out knowing what all the built-in JavaScript functions were, right?

If you know you want to use Dart's HttpRequest class, you can just type it and a good editor will add the import for you. But people don't start out knowing what to type.
The world needs more folks like you who are skilled in cost-benefit analysis.
For the record, nobody complained when I removed all the class diagrams and other things mentioned above, so my takeaway was that ... yes, those features were useless :) On the other hand, people complained about lack of essential features that Doxygen didn't have, like proper search or #include information for non-class members.

Eh, probably Hossenfelder found some popular account of panpsychism that did in fact argue that electrons have some sort of independent consciousness, maybe even written by a philosopher. In fact, I spot just the argument she refuted being stated as a reply elsewhere in these comments, preceded by the words "She misses the point".

In any event, what exactly is simplified to the point of being wrong? That more internal states effects cross sections?
Are they, though? It's more that the causal connection is more obvious. The audience can immediately see the face has changed. However, bugs and missing features are just as loudly complained about. It just takes longer to notice, and the audience lingers on in dissatisfaction a bit longer.

People caught onto this in comic books, however. There are savvy readers who follow writers and artists, not characters. There are savvy fans of Anime who do this as well. There are even people who do this with books and movies. There are some gamers who do this with games.

Same old story. There are those fooled by surfaces, and those who try to see beneath them.
I do this all the time (here in the US, Los Angeles), as my instructor back then told me to do so.
Somewhat like we're suddenly more willing to un-person people in our own society with less pretext, less proof, and less due process. It wouldn't be the first time in our history such has happened. Such things happen in US history as a precursor to wars, and during wartime.

...And all other times. The entire history of the US was built on an entire group of people being legally “un-personed” for purely economic reasons. Are you sure it’s this phenomena you find troubling, or is it just who’s being targeted today? I’m trying to be charitable, yet I’m struggling to frame your comment in another way.
This, exactly. I don't understand why these aren't required stock equipment on all cars.
Seems like it will effectively render the L mostly unusable and extend the project time. It's a desperate gesture to commuters who were left with limited options for the shutdown.

It's a really nice train to ride day-to-day, luckily I can walk to work door-to-door in an hour, but when I think about others' situations it's truly going to be an insane inconvenience.
Packages:

types - declares structs and possibly some mutators of these structs,
repository - it’s a data storage layer that deals with storing and reading structs,
service - would be the implementation of business logic that wraps repositories,
http, websocket, … - the transport layers, which all invoke the service layer

Don't do this. Having layers through which your program logic flows is very much not the Go way. Put the types/service/etc for a logical unit together. You can have lower levels of abstraction in packages and combine them in a higher one but don't group by layer type.
In the US, this is also part of the driving exam. However, it is not an automatic failure on its own.

I myself failed to do it once, on the test for turning right after crossing through a bicycle lane on my right. Every other maneuver, I checked over my shoulder. Felt bad because I used to commute via bicycle and it was...well, a little ironic that I messed up there of all places.

Agreed, though. The US driving test is pathetic.
Disturbing the peace is more than simply "being a nuisance" to someone else - it's a recognized infraction, that may well lead to being detained in jail or being ordered to do some community service. Isn't that a sort of "involuntary restraint", too? Potayto, potahto.
Very few cities in the world have the sort of late night options you talk about. London sure doesn't. And you start excluding cities like London from a list of "real cities" and you have to wonder if your criteria need to be adjusted a bit.

Great link - thanks! I was curious to see how total energy consumption changed over the same time span. According to a super-useful EIA tool[0], it was apparently (and surprisingly) almost flat, despite a 15% population increase.

I'd also like to recommend the semi-technical talks by Nima Arkani-Hamed and Leonard Susskind. They are the only reason I have the faintest hint of what is going on in theoretical physics and cosmology.
Really? Seems like the past is ripe with abuses by corporations - pollution, child labor, tax avoidance.

I think you need to take your rose colored glasses off.
Well that isn't the suggestion; the L is obviously busiest during rush hour.
That's actually a bigger definition that I usually use. I typically cal 14th or Houston the cutoff.
[Never mind the next para. See child comment I replied to]

In driving school, I was taught to adjust my side mirrors exactly the way described here: rear view mirror points to rear, side mirrors just barely show the side of the car. And still there are blind spots in every car I've driven, no matter how much "fine tuning" I do.

This is why blind spot warning systems are a must in any new car I consider buying.
During the day would be disastrous, but doing as much work as possible from 1-5am (on a line at a time, not all of them) might work. Ridership and road traffic is low enough at that time to make replacement with buses feasible.

London does this, IIRC.
I'm really confused as to why they are doing this.
Nice examples and graphs. What really confuses me is the definition of "low-latency" nowadays. The meaning suffers a slippery slope in recent years. It used to refer to a scale of microseconds at HFT shops, then it came to web request latency at a scale of milliseconds. Now every GC-based language claims they are "low-latency" because 90%/95%/99% GC stop is within 16.67ms/50ms/whatever. Therefore today some HFT developers invented words like "ultra-low latency"[0] to name their work.

I'm a 50-something, recently retired but still programming for fun and non-profits. "Rock star" meant something different 30 years ago. Less was expected of you, but also the tools and technologies weren't there to help you. No databases in the cloud, no google or stackoverflow. You had to wait for books to come in and hope they had the information you needed, otherwise you took a week and figured it out for yourself. My very first job, my IBM PC clone had two floppies. My code was on drive b:. I would put the editor floppy in drive a:, edit, then put in the compiler floppy, then the linker floppy. Programming in C, manual memory management. I was good then, I'm good now. Lessons learned then no doubt honed my skills in general, but I don't know if I "use" those skills nowadays.
> as part of an arrangement that allows it to reduce its foreign tax bill

What this article and most of the discussion misses is that many of these tax havens are just better for business in ways that have nothing to do with taxes

As the article alluded to: PART of an arrangement

You have a catalogue of Cantonal systems, Confederacies, Federations where you can incorporate at the country level or an obscure state’s level (the US has no way to incorporate at the federal level), Segregated Portfolio Companies decades before similar entities were offered in more respected jurisdictions, useful Trust laws with no supranational government undermining them, useful information protection laws with no supranational government undermining them, and thats before we even touch on banking and brokerage services and free trade agreements

The ability to offer these without levying a lazy passive tax for the privilege or “protection” is just icing on the cake
Don't forget the different Android distributions; Android TV, Android wear(?) etc.
why do people (not you, the quoted part) keep talking as if self-driving cars have already reached the point where they are safer than humans?
I apologise, I misread your initial message. I have edited accordingly. Thanks for the heads-up! I understand that you consider a huge portion of games as being at best passable or forgettable; but that is your inherently subjective opinion. It is not one which you can assume everyone shares, nor one you can use to draw objective conclusions. Indeed, the same can be said about music and movies. I only distinctively remember a subset of the movies I have watched, for instance.

I understand the point you are making in regards to average time played, but surely the people who, quote-unquote, play the game way too much, enjoy that specific game very much? Please note that you can also see the median playtime on the abovementioned website.
They're hocking near-zero marginal cost goods and their pricing is already high enough to deny potential consumer base - despite technically being able to afford it, I rarely buy AAA titles until they're available at big discounts or from less than reputable 3rd parties, I just don't see most games as that valuable, it's a bit of a gamble whether they're even worth playing.

Compare this with $10/mo for Netflix or Spotify - gamers are getting a rough deal already just buying a few AAA titles a year. Personally I'm all for microtransactions so long as they don't impact gameplay in unfair ways - many developers are already doing this quite successfully, Fortnite and Overwatch being popular and generally well liked examples.
Despite your warning, I think it's important to say that we don't understand exactly how the brain works. Yet, we still allow people to drive. To know whether we should trust someone to drive, we created a test (driver's license test).

I don't see why this would be any different for deciding whether computers should be allowed to drive - we can just make sure self-driving cars pass a road test. We could even do better than driver's license tests and have a human driver at the wheel during the test just in case.
That's very interesting to hear. I wonder if it is something specific to that corporation, or perhaps your role at the corporation, though? All the Chinese-born people I know would be pretty surprised if any non-Chinese person could read Chinese.
There are smaller things (bicycles, motorcycles, pedestrians) that can sneak into the gap between the side and rearview mirror views here. And colliding with one of those is much more likely to cause serious injury or death than colliding with a car.

It's a much better idea to make sure your side and rear mirrors have complete coverage (i.e. no gaps) at the back, and actually turning your head to check the blind spot. Make a habit of doing this on every lane switch or turn, even if you think you're at the side of the road - there may be a bike lane or crosswalk you didn't notice, or someone might be simply be using a nonexistant lane of travel.

A good way to adjust your mirrors is to have someone walk by your car, and make sure you can see them in either your rear or side mirrors, and make a note of where you need to look for the blind spot.

Of course, even if you make sure the side and rear mirrors provide complete rear coverage, that doesn't always keep things safe - some cyclists and motorcyclists seem to like to jump out from behind a vehicle to lane-split and then get mad when they see you switching lanes in front of them...
Because programmers are so in demand that for the most part, anybody skilled at it can get a job in the industry. If you haven't worked in other industries it might be easy to think that the whole world works like that.
Coffee startup Luckin set to overtake Starbucks in China
You might have misread this -- the way that you learned is the traditional way. The way described on this page, you do _not_ see your own car at all in the side view mirror.
"both sides".. always.
In the article, this is the give away that they don't understand:
"5G expansion, which is designed to carry higher loads of data more rapidly through wireless transmission, will require the construction of cell towers every 10-20 houses in urban areas."
"cell towers" at that density are not really towers but small devices not unlike a wifi AP hung on lamp posts. The power levels are very low.
I was an early fan of KSP. I've spent long, long hours in FTL. My latest gaming obsession was Heat Signature. No lootboxes in any of those. (Except as a joke in Heat Signature, and you can't convert real world currency into one of those.)
I feel for you. My wife and I are sort of in the exact same place. She is in nursing school and has a full-time job. I am taking a few classes, work full-time too. We also have 2 brand new kids since October.

I manage our digital calendar and actually we both still use a paper planner. We take time to sync each Sunday. We sync deep though. We know what each other has, kid obligations, what is for breakfast, lunch, dinner each day, what is the grocery list, etc, etc. This lets each one of us operate with a full understanding of the week. If one of us gets extra bandwidth or a gap opens up we first see if there is the possibility of free/family time before filing it with something else. Even if it is 10 mins meeting for coffee.

This may sound weird but we are both obligated to making this work. If my wife gets done class early then I jet over to grab coffee at Starbucks near here. If I am out and a meeting changes time she jets over to me, etc.
