If you don't agree with that, I'd love to hear why, and why the related studies are false. Can start with this one, which is the first result: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.685...

There's quite the bibliography to pour through there, though, if you really want to shatter the science behind why diversity is a good thing. Good luck!

There's an extensive discussion of AD in the slides (the topic of this HN post), and how it is done in Julia. Precisely because it is not as simple as writing a math library is why you need language and compiler support.
Jeeeesus. I'm incapable of understanding the mindset the man is in - total awareness of impending death. It must take tremendous courage - I think I would have been reduced to a quaking pile of jelly faced with the fact of mortality. What a person, what a reality.
The article seems to be redefining analog and digital to mean something different than what they're traditionally taken to mean. It's not clear to me that the new definition implicitly being proposed is very useful or that if it is useful it is helpful to try and repurpose these words for it.

I'm not familiar with this. Is there some reports on workplace injuries or something of that nature or is this hyperbole?
People seem to have strong opinion that this is the case even though they are most likely wrong.

Just some changes:

* You will have your own 5G home router micro cells. Factories will have their own 5G networks in unallocate bandwidth. Like Wi-fi but lower latency and better services.

* High quality low latency streaming means that gaming consoles will disappear from homes. You can stream games either from servers or from edge servers. You can have "tactile internet" with 5G latency. Enough to stream games.

* Very low power gadgets in your home will use 5G.
Lol. Two supreme court justices. Permanent losses of billions in taxes. Russia meddling in our government. It's way too fucking late for hope that lasting damage doesn't occur.

This goes without saying.

If you immigrate from Africa with nothing, and you get yourself a law degree and an upper middle class income - that's self made success.

Ah. The law professors did absolutely nothing, I suppose? Or the law firm that hired an immigrant that may not have had an understanding of US professional norms? Or the US, which let the immigrant into the country to pursue their dreams of success while relying on taxpayer-funded social services?

This trope of the "self made success" conveniently ignores that people are reliant in many ways on the efforts of others for their success. All those peple who rose from dirt poverty to become successful? Read their stories. At some point, they all relied on someone taking a chance on them--and without that chance, they'd be no different from the thousands of others of dirt poor people who never made it.
Echoing the HP employee, submitting claims monthly for remote work expenses (phone/internet bills, office supplies, travel) is normal. Ive worked as an apps engineer at a couple BigCos with same policies and the process never bothered me, I submit my claims as soon as a trip ends or when I get the bills.

The thing I would press is to get paid fairly, and bi-weekly. I’ve never had a salaried job that was paid monthly.
Because humans find reasons to look down on other 'groups' when they know that group is underrepresented, and therefore tergetable. Same as how people will talk shit about others and get reinforcement for it, until that person actually walks in. And because professional careers are a necessary path if we wish to have a 1st world where choice is possible. Without choice, others are deciding what you can do with your life. That's generally what patriarchy refers to, in that women are treated by, overwhelmingly men, who are in positions of power and use that power in a way to suppress that choice. It's not that they do this explicitly because they hate women, many do think that women are just inferior, but many are also making highly calculative reasons. It's a chicken and egg problem. But if we are to say we believe in morality, then it is many times necessary to overcome that problem by force of public acts.

Wether it's effective is highly circumstancial.
Exactly. I am an amazon affiliate and use other amazon services as my business. The bridge has been burned for me as a consumer to continue shopping with them personally or with my business, but it's too risky to upset the beast if that somehow triggers an impact to my livelihood on the other end. I would love nothing more than to phase Amazon out of my life along with Google but that is increasingly difficult to do.

How many processes are in place at Amazon to fight chargebacks? How do we know it won't trigger anything? How do I know they won't retroactively make a decision months or years later? Thats the risk I can't take.
"Hypothesis-driven research is based on scientific theories, while exploration is based on a search for discovery backed by few theories or none at all."

"With hypothesis testing, researchers present what the study hopes to accomplish, how it will be done and possible outcomes. [..] Meanwhile, exploratory research examines unknown areas with no or little-known theories to back them -- perceived as a riskier bet."

I've been using RateFlix for a while now - haven't seen many issues as of yet. I love these type of ideas. When you add Rotten Tomatoes, I'm totally in to use!

1. Movies and TV shows will show an IMDb™ rating next to wherever you would typically see a Netflix™ rating, and additionally will be shown on the play bar of what you're currently watching as well as next to each listed episode when browsing episodes of a TV series

2. Rotten Tomatoes™ and Metacritic™ ratings will also be displayed in the same way, but currently only for movies

3. Clicking on an IMDb™ rating will open the IMDb™ page for that movie or TV show in a new tab

There will always be a market for "non-streaming" games. Fighting games for example would be unplayable with streaming latency. I don't see games moving primarily to streaming for a long time.
It's hard for me to understand why anyone is excited about 5G when most carriers aren't running full bandwidth 4G and have significant data caps. Although 5G may be fast in some markets, 5G on the whole just seems so pointless for consumers.
This is an incredibly impressive line of work. Huge props to the Julia team.
Iceland has a system similar to what you're describing. The mother gets three months, the father gets three months, and the couple gets another three months to share as they see fit. It's been a rousing success with 90% of fathers taking all three months.

Compare that to Denmark where every couple gets ten(ish) months of leave that can be used by the mother or father as they see fit. Danish women take an average of 9 months off while Danish men take an average of 1 month off.
And to top it off theres no support channel or humans in the process to "appeal" their decision. The only luck you have is being semi-famous enough to get your experience in the headlines before an exec lets you back in.

Looking at the paper [0], particularly Figure 4, it looks like they cut slices then stick them back together again. This allows the signal to propagate (4.B).

But when a gap of 400 microns is added (4.C), the signal doesn't propagate.

I'm sure that the actual cutting causes some damage, and perfect realignment is unlikely, but I'm not sure how this is conclusive of ephaptic coupling, or how it eliminates the possibility of electrical or chemical communication by synapse, gap junction, or axonal transmission.

You can find lovely examples of this in The Lord of the Rings -- like the chapter "The Voice of Saruman" or how the language of the narrator modulates in describing Sam being tempted by the Ring versus his more down-to-earth thoughts. (IIRC. I don't have it handy to check.)
This is a decent argument from an employee perspective, which is that its so silo'd that its basically different companies. While I find it pretty horrifying when awful things happen in places with the same external name as is on my resume, I could see how people could go "not me" - thats pretty close to how the workforce works outside of amazon too.
One point to consider that relates to the first year at least is breastfeeding.

Science very heavily favors breastfeeding above the substitute. While pumping breast milk is a choice, it can be difficult in practice and some science points to it still being different for both the mother and the child in terms of hormonal differences and of course the physican touch/emotional wellbeing.

This is some confusion about this, most of our insurance premiums go to paying claims. Most insurance companies operate with a slight "underwriting loss" or slight "underwriting profit", but usually quite close to even. The companies then make money by investing the "float".

So premiums going down by 90% is an implied 90% reduction of harm from cars. That's both property damage and human injury.

Warren Buffett: "...so vigorous indeed that it sometimes causes the P/C industry as a whole to operate at a significant underwriting loss. This loss, in effect, is what the industry pays to hold its float". [1]

It's fascinating, because shelters in and of themselves are positive things: they're built to be refuges or safe havens. Places where you expect help is at hand.

They sound negative when you start to look at the reason for them existing. Not because shelters are bad, but because homelessness and abuse and abandonment is bad.

From a UK perspective, shelter to me makes me think of a bus stop or an awning to get out of the rain, or to get some shade.
As an org head in a tech organization experiences I try to find managers/supervisors like this and actually move them out of the organization.

There's some interesting stuff going on behind the scenes. GPS inherently gives you a 3-dimensional coordinate, which is useless for most applications. So the coordinate gets converted to a 2D surface coordinate (latitude/longitude) plus an altitude, which is what you generally want. However, since the Earth isn't a perfect sphere, this conversion is not well-defined.

The solution is a datum, a model of the Earth's surface that is used for the conversion. WGS84 is the datum used by GPS, and approximates the Earth as a specified ellipsoid. However, maps can use use different datums (data?), so there can be a discrepancy of many meters between what GPS says the location is, and what the map says the location is, and they can both be right relative to their datum.

OK so there's no sound where it "hits" but they didn't answer the real question I have... What does it sound like where/when the trigger is pulled?
In my city, they are dropping poles with 5G radios all over the place, as close as every 150-300 yards. It’s a land rush as the city cannot do anything to stop them, the poles get dropped in all sorts of awkward places. My understanding is that repeaters will be mounted on streetlights as well.

Those radios aren’t for phones, they are for fixed wireless with antennas attached to your home. 5G is the cable killer, and eventually the WiFi killer.
I've seen no calls to increase the numbers of conservatives/Republicans in STEM, despite the fact that political ideology and affiliation is actually testing the way people think. For example, though the percentage of scientists who lean Rep. is 12% to the general public's 35%, the percentages are 81% and 52% for lean Dem.[1] And the gap in other political values is high as well.

Demographics are only slightly correlated with how people think, so this form of argument falls flat unless you think encouraging conservatives to get into science is far more important.

It is interesting to see the mindset of the person who wrote this post.

Enabling a Blue/Green Rolling Deployment with Amazon EKS
Abusive managers... after all the years I need to thanked them because they forced me to start my own company.

My "favorite" was a CTO that I worked for in NYC.. horrible human being with few ex wives and an eye for girls that barely turned 18. My favorite line was: "if you have family, don't work here" when I was complaining that he really didn't need me at the office on Sunday 9pm to "monitor" system I could remotely connect in case all the way from home.

He also did the same to me - everyone came at 10, he wanted me at 7. Everyone left 5pm, he wanted me to work on extra project at 7pm. Those projects never came and I was just sitting there bored. Of course I questioned his reasoning few times but he just said "you're the most important person in the company you need to be here earlier and leave the last in case". At the same time I was making the lowest salary in the corp... on time asked him about raise he told me: "remember you are on McDonald sales guy salary here.. you are not an exec".

Fun times looking back at 15 years ago when I was young and naive...

Overwatch is the only First-Person Shooter I have ever played where I have heard women speak in voice chat and other players continued to focus on the game itself. In other games I've played, a woman in voice chat would always become the center of attention, whether she wanted to be or not. The attention wasn't always negative, but it was unavoidable (and thus probably pretty frustrating).

That happened in Overwatch sometimes too, but I was surprised it wasn't more often. My suspicion is that it's the a result of the competitive mode putting focus on the gameplay and a larger than average female player base for an FPS.
Civilization built up a lot of things over 10,000 years that aren't very good.
When the electrical field potential changes, it changes the probability of neural firing. It's called ephatic coupling. Brain waves (local field potential) aren't just the measured average of the neural firing, but are a signal propagating force. This supports synchronization through entrainment and other resonance effects that are well characterized. Not sure why this is new, but it is great to see it in the news.
I don't think so - you'll end up with a situation where the platform gets to decide which rating service is important and which isn't. Most people might not want pluggedin(christian-value friendly rating) ratings, but it might be the #1 rating source for some.

A better method would be to embed a unique id for the movie in a rating s widget, and let the user configure in their user agent which services they would like to query for ratings.
