A gravity wave detector works by having mass which gets influenced by gravity. But this influence is a two-way street: the photon feels the detector's gravity at exactly the same time as the detector feels the photon's gravity. If the detector is sensitive enough to distinguish the location of photons, it must be very close to the photons and/or have a huge mass! So it's not surprising that its gravitational field can influence the state of the photon.
They run the authoritative nameservers for .dev, so they'll have some information about how much traffic your domain is getting, and from where.

Beyond that (and knowing you own the domain), running the registry doesn't give them any more info than they already get about you & your domain from their other services.

It might help protect against an OpenSSH zero-day but those are pretty rare.

I've been running my home server with an completely open SSH port since 2012 and haven't been hacked yet. And I know since I check occasionally with Tripwire and/or RPM verification from a clean boot.

The only downside to an open SSH port is the thousands and thousands of log spams from connection attempts. The upside is that I can log in from anywhere using my phone directly or as a hotspot for the laptop.

Oh yeah, and VPN just pushes the problem back one level. For me SSH is the VPN. Requiring VPN access first to get to SSH is just pushing any security problems back into the VPN server. Because now IT is the one with the open port to the internet.
I guess? My point is just: people living in China do not in any practical sense have First Amendment rights.
It sounds like IIR is about reusing previous calculations? But you don't actually want every previous sample to affect the result; it's more a side-effect of how the calculation is done?
Did you read the book What Is Mathematics? It is certainly not "an exaggerated biography for some of the scientists".

And the mentioned books, at least some of them, serve different purposes: they aim to inspire, to motivate, and to offer historical context and intuition. The last is especially important, as they show people how abstract concepts emerged from historically concrete endeavors.

When it comes to learning math, you can't take an elite's view. Not everyone is born Bourbaki dudes or Galois or people like them. Ordinary people like me don't just fall in love with maths. I was certainly not interested in number theory as I thought it was too fundamental for me to spend serious time on. And I'm still not. I was certainly puzzled on why my professors introduced the concept of functional in linear algebra or quotient groups in algebra or lattice equations in program analysis or category theory in model checking or probability space in probability. After all, all I wanted was to learn how to model the world to be a better programmer. And I was not able to grasp the abstractions without serious effort. I needed historical context and motivations to plow through those topics and to enjoy math.

Yes, the elites will love and excel at math for no particular reason. Yet it is the middle majority like me who will greatly benefit from the mentioned books and biographies and what not.
Many companies that are open to investment, such as most publically traded companies, produce quarterly reports for shareholders.

I think the reason you see this in SaaS is that it’s a marketing tactic. There’s an overlap between their customers and software developers or online marketers.
I have a hobby of making leather wrapped Mason Jars, and give them to friends... I made these today.

I pickup broken granite from the granite shop and make plant stands with leather feet:

I like to make things for my bike:

https://imgur.com/a/ikKKT

I do it as therapy for depression and to express myself. Don't do any of it for profit - but I have had a lot of the bike parts stolen, or people admire them so I give them to them...

My next project is a leather hipster bartending apron, just because I want to make one - but I dont have the funds to quite do that at the moment.

And I am working on making my own leather based bike grips - but I am still working on the right jig for the die, as my parts are not coming out perfectly consistent when I do it by eye.

On the to-do, aside from the apron:

* Living wall

* Some planting boxes

* Get access to a laser cutter for some leather things

* Completely cover my bedroom floor in leather (I have a leather-piece throw covering in the center of my carpeted room, and its the most amazing feeling with bare feet walking on it - I want to see how much a whole room that way will cost.
First of all, a lot of those arriving and asking for asylum are sent back because they don't qualify.

Moving on, we Europeans are making a decent profit from selling weapons to the Middle East and African countries. We might as well take on those refugees driven out by the violence our weapons cause.

Europe's history, even the years since WWII, is full of migrations: Post-war displacement affected more than 10 million people, refugees from East to West Germany, Brits fleeing the rain for sunny France and Spain (they are a few hundred thousands), Hungary 1956 dispersed 200,000 hungarians of which 70,000 crossed this little bridge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%C3%BCcke_von_Andau and the last decade saw a massive flow of young people from southern Europe to the north which causes long-lasting problems for the southern countries.
The list goes and and will go on. Some EU countries have 10% or more of EU-nationals in their population which in my eyes will become a hot topic in terms of higher level elections as right now you are only allowed to participate in local elections if you are not a native.
Good luck to them, but new money is coming fast. They either go along with great new tech investments or lose out over time.

Maybe I was just lucky in the past years, but as a person working in tech, coming from a poor family, but with access to great education, I see beating the market as easy.

I won't give tips here, because I'm in the minority and I would be voted down (which I see as a prerequisite for making returns).

“These companies” are the US Federal government, at least for undergraduate loans. The Department of Education took over all federally guaranteed loans (the vast majority of undergraduate loans) almost a decade ago. They’re only serviced by private companies, who wouldn’t need a bailout; it would only be the taxpayer on the hook.

Gearing Up for 5G
As someone who graduated from a top tier school, I'm constantly befuddled by society's expectation/belief that college degrees are useful.

I learned absolutely nothing during my 4 years of undergrad that is practically useful to my current vocation, and I can say the same is true for 90% of my peers.

For some areas of study, college IS worth the cost. For example, hard sciences. But, for the vast majority, it's not (think: business and administration, art, history, economics, etc.)

I would guess that in 90% of cases, graduates would be more valuable to companies and potential employers if they spend those 4 years and $300K (tuition + lost wages) learning/practicing their specific trade/industry.

So, when are we as a society going to realize that 90% of us are wasting 20% of our most productive years on useless learning? This really seems like a travesty to me.
If it were ever going to be possible to orchestrate at scale, now’s the time. It would take a vast amount of people acting as a bloc.

I wonder if some sort of cloud sourced banking could be worked out to make it feasible. Trying to float a startup bank with student loans, for instance - but that’s clearly outlawed. Maybe some crowdfunding of a bank start up through small monthly contributions. Instead of needing a good credit score to be able to purchase things, buying into a monthly alternative to the credit market.

Flying by the seat of my pants here -

Maybe sell gamified returns for appropriate length investments. So the customer signs up at cost X. Every month they contribute X dollars. The company stores those funds in cash equivalents. At any time, the customer can pause or cash out their payments to that point. After a year, the company stores those funds in instruments that pay out in a year, maybe, or the company just keeps them in cash equivalents. After a year, the customer can qualify for a loan of 12*X+Y through the company. Y being 0 or some present value of the customers promised future payments.

I wouldn't lease the domain through Google domains. Use a different registrar --- if possible, one that you'll be able to trust. That registrar will work with the registry of the TLD, which would be google in this case, and has a much better chance of actually resolving issues than if you were a direct customer of Google Domains.

"Hey, that guy is late on his car payments, lets cut his brake lines."
> .. current system of giving out student loans with no regard to if the student will ever have a realistic ability to repay borders on predatory.

This morning my university sent me an email about a `Summer Funds & FAFSA Workshop` to `receive guided 2019-2020 FAFSA filing help.` In their words: `an open lab session to help you complete the FAFSA .`

Schools seem of the opinion that the money is already theirs; If they could file it without the students they would.

Just because it's systemic doesn't it's not predatory. With admins focused on the money and teachers focused on research, how are universities any more than glorified testing centers?
Maybe they aren't doing that great? What their last successful/profitable product?
Who cares? Markets are fluid and dynamic.

Passengers won for a while, and may keep winning, but nobody expects them to win to perpetuity just like nobody expects a market to remain static. If anyone is going to end up worse than before ridesharing, it's the people who put the money into the VC funds propping up the market.
The problem is, the only way this product could exist would be if people paid for it. I can't see that happening. People expect almost everything online to be free now, but most don't understand what they're actually paying is their privacy.
My impression is that quantized inertia is somewhat of a fringe theory. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
The primary purpose of art is as a store of value - i.e., in some ways it behaves like a currency. This store is extremely important to rich people, who can thereby store tens of millions of dollars worth of value in a single canvas. But there is no central regulator of this currency, and no treasury issuing notes - its value comes entirely from perception and some historical myth-making.

Forgery here has the same impact as forgery in any other currency - it debases the value of the currency. But imagine if you could debase an entire currency by issuing a single false note. Art forgery confuses the value of art - is it the object that is important? Apparently not - the only possibility, then, is the chain of authenticity demonstrating, e.g., "Picasso made this shitty painting". Forgery means the painting as object is less meaningful AND it means demonstrating the chain of authenticity is more important to maintaining its value. This is really bad for some rich people who own a lot of art.

As others have mentioned, the burn of the solid propellant used can't be controlled. However, you could look at things like gyros, thrust vectoring or servo controlled fins to give you more a more controlled ascent. That wouldn't help with the descent which is traditionally unpowered. Maybe a small charge to flip the rocket around and then use servo fins to control its glide direction on the way back down.
I think the disconnect is that a university degree is NOT vocational training, and it never has been.

What happened is that for a long time, only a certain class of people got to go to a university, and that class of people were the same ones that got the best jobs. In fact, many companies used a university degree as a filtering mechanism to select that class of person.

Other classes saw this, and assumed that if they also got this degree, it would open up that other class. It worked for a bit, but soon there were simply too many people getting the degrees for it to work anymore as a way to select a limited group. It is no longer the gateway into a higher class lifestyle.

At the same time, though, I think it is a bit dismissive to call the education useless. I learned a ton studying philosophy at a university, even if it doesn't directly apply that often to my work. It helped me understand the world, its history, and how we think. I am very glad I did it.

However, it was not training me for a job. Not everything we do is for job training.

Seems that you have an innate talent for regularity. For some it's tough to get moving when home after a while. Some get lonely. All your points are super valid and super obvious and moving to an office involves so much drag it's insane.. but we need to learn a few balancing tricks for remote work too.

The education bubble has nothing to do with the rich. It’s entirely a middle class phenomenon—a wealth transfer from young middle class people to older middle class people (professors and administrators). To the extent that state colleges aren’t more heavily tax subsidized, again its primarily the fault of the older middle class. (The biggest difference between US and European tax rates is for the vast middle class. Rich Germans pay somewhat more in taxes than rich Californians. Middle class Germans pay twice as much or more.)
Yeah, never heard of that. It's a barm for me.
I don't know what your experience was like in undergrad, but at the state school I went to, the 100-level "intro to this major" type courses were actually quite challenging. none of the individual pieces were that complicated, but the breadth of material and pace were simply too much for most high school students, let alone middle school.

I also dispute your claim that 100-level courses should just be assigned to grad students. of course any grad student should have a firm grasp of the intro material, but intro courses aren't _just_ about learning tools and building blocks for understanding advanced material. they are a department's first opportunity to get students excited about their discipline and get them to start thinking about how all the little pieces fit into a larger perspective. simply throwing grad students at these important courses is a great disservice, imo. to be fair, the current practice of shoving 200+ students into a huge lecture hall is not much better, no matter how good the instructor.

There are a variety of distributed join scheduling models to consider depending on the latency of the network and the size of the data sets. Techniques like Bloom filters used to accelerate joins by minimizing the data transmitted are novel to many developers. Layer in HA and transactions, and it becomes hard.
When I was younger, it didn't resonate at all (I've obviously heard this complaint before). The older I've gotten, the shorter everything has gotten. Whether it's based in the natural warping of time perception as we age, or stress from greater responsibilities pushing me towards burnout, my weekends go too quickly and my work weeks take too much time.
buses and subways don't have to be free to be awesome. In fact I suspect subsidization and political control of them is part of the problem. One of the world's best public transport systems, singapore, is at least partially privatized (it once was fully privatized, and arguably system quality is going down) - and it has the lowest fares I've been on.
In any other area that would be a red flag of “money laundering”.

I am not accusing them of it. Just stating facts.

I said amortized maintenance, so when you have to replace that $300 part and pay $100-$300 in labor to do it, that is part of the bill spread over a year. To me repairs are an inevitable part of car ownership, so I put in the maintenance category. Not just replace your oil and swap your tires type maintenance. Maybe a year or two you'll have no repairs, then get a $1500 repair bill because a water pump broke, and some asshole who breaks your car window to steal nothing, leading to $2000 of 'surprise' repair costs that year.

Also if you buy a used car for $15k, then sell it 5 years later for $9k, that is equivalent to a $100/month car payment, which I call car depreciation.
Hello.

You could have said the same thing in 1880, and indeed many people famously did declare “the end of physics” at that time.
I don’t know whether this is true because I never looked into it really, but a colleague of mine in the ndustry told me I could join the banker’s guild. His words were that because I lived in the city[1] at the time, and also worked for a bank in the city, I’d be eligible for membership if the bank would nominate or sponsor me as a representative. I’m hazy on the details, it was years ago, and I don’t really know whether it’s true since as mentioned I never checked it out. I kind of regret not doing so now though, since moving out of the city I’ve learned much more of it’s (weird and interesting) history and it would’ve been fun to at least try to see some of this from the inside. It probably wouldn’t have worked anyway, but would’ve been fun to try.

For anyone looking for a fun little intro to the weirdness of the city and it’s history, I recommend CGP Grey’s channel and particularly his videos on the City of London[2][3].

[1]: for the benefit of people who might not be aware – “the city” is a colloquialism for the City of London, which is a small somewhat autonomous part of London, situated east of what most people (who don’t know this) probably think of when you say the city of London.

Totally agree with you.

I think the biggest reason this is not universal is because not everybody hates their job or working. I get an incredible amount of Joy doing what I do. So much so that when I get home I have plenty of energy to do a little more on my own personal projects. This is obviously not true every single day but the vast majority of days it is.

That dosent mean I don’t love my wife or my family, quite the contrary I spend as much time as possible with them and love them very much.

But it does mean that I don’t love TV or much of the other bullshit.
