If you want to know for real in a way that’s relevant to your life just try and apply for a few quant positions right now with what you have. Chase for feedback and investigate for yourself whether your education level was a factor. This will take you very little time and give you intel worth a damn.

In considering phd you need to think about the market as it’s likely to be in 3 years time rather than as it is now. In my opinion, the level of qualification for quant jobs will decrease with demand so if your talking about ML applied to industry then a PhD is a poor future investment unless you’re a beast amongst beasts. As another poster said a masters is a much better optimisation for time spent vs salary and it’s also likely where most jobs preferring phds today will be at in terms of requirements in 3 years time.

Not if it absorbs more in one part of the spectrum than other parts. For example an object could absorb red,green and blue light. But absorbs red and blue light more than the green and as such would appear green.

Gets down to if the absorption rate is liner - which it almost definitely is not going to be the case here and as I suspect, an absorption bias in the infrared spectrum is at play.

Not only is DNA chemically stable and can last for years, has internal redundancy, but it is remarkably compact. DNA is an evolutionarily optimal data storage medium.

To put it into context, each cell in your body contains 6 billion base pairs of data (two copies of your genome). Each base is one of 4 bits, so that’s 4^6000000000 of data in each cell. Your body has ~37 trillion cells [1]. A person is about the size of a rack (well, maybe 10-15U by volume), so that’s 3.7e13 * 4^6e9 bits per rack.

A petabyte is 8e15 bits.

That’s a lot of data storage capacity in a small space. Moreover, there is the potential for introducing more synthetic bases to increase the 4 to 6.

Let me try another way.

I think you have to find a way to manage your expectations in these discussions. For example, if the discussion centers around the problem of library fines, suggesting to overhaul the entire socio-economic system to solve it is not rational. In the same vein, the problem of homelessness in certain urban areas does not lend itself to a solution based on destroying the entire system. I understand you're very excited about Marx and every issue is just another entry to an ideological debate of communism vs capitalism that you want to have, but it tends to not be very productive and most will just ignore it.

I know you feel slighted that I haven't answered your objections, but honest to God, I have no idea what specifics to answer to. You view our modern society through a specific ideological lens and you can't just expect others to take on your ideological assumptions. Here's an example of something you argued: "Your position is that the unavailability of housing to those suffering diseases tied directly to their being unable to pay market price for housing somehow has nothing to do with the prevailing economic arrangement that utterly defines the housing market these persons cannot participate in."

To that, I can only say the following:

1) You're putting words in my mouth, that isn't my position.

2) That isn't the system we live in. We don't live in a purely capitalist system where everything is determined by the cold hand of the market. We live in a market-based economy, with a social welfare state. We spend inordinate amount of money on providing a safety net, from government programs to grants and subsidies. Government social spending is also complemented by non-profits, private charities, and churches. So no, not having an income to pay rent does not imply you're going to be homeless.

3) Lack of income isn't what is driving homelessness. Chronic homelessness is driven by drug and alcohol abuse, and mental illness. That is a fundamentally different problem, requiring a fundamentally different approach for a solution. Communist regimes (and I grew up in the Soviet Block)side-stepped this issue because they would simply forcibly institutionalize a mentally ill person found living on the street. I actually think that this is the correct solution in this case as well.

So you tell me, given all that, how do I argue with you? What kind of an argument do you expect from me, given that I don't share your ideology.
You wouldn’t. The read order would be encoded in the “file format”. Kind of like a Unicode byte order marker.

You’d have to deconvolute the signal first, then computationally determine the strand you actually read.
It seems that we mainly disagree about what constitutes discrimination. In my opinion, it is about opportunities. When 90% of the developer jobs are performed by men, it is really hard for me to see how men as a group can be disadvantaged.

It might be that the 91st man will not get a job because it is given to the 10th woman. But as 90 out of 100 jobs are given to men, it seems obvious to me that the group of men has all the opportunities they can wish for.

Note that every explicit action taken to even out a disadvantage will hit individuals in the group which is not disadvantaged. For example, if a prestigious university hands out scholarships to poor students, fewer students from rich families will be accepted as a result. This is not disadvantaging the rich applicants, it is reducing their advantage a little.

Google Public DNS Plans Towards DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) et al.
Golang proudly serves as the archetype of a particular kind of language design hubris which seems to be spreading like a disease lately, that although feature X was required for my implementation you (shouldn't need it / can't be trusted with it). It's famously the language which aims to be "90% perfect 100% of the time". In practice, this should be interpreted as being measured on a logarithmic scale for new algorithms or novel implementations using newer/obscure hardware features.

The standard distribution of Golang has been historically non-receptive to the notion of providing intrinsics, the capability for inlining assembly function calls (note: not inlining assembly source), and in general proposals to trivially extend the language or standard library to address performance concerns whose need would not be considered controversial in any other context (I'm not talking about generics, here). In quite a few cases it has been communicated that certain features will never be made available because fuck you that's why, although in recent releases there has been a trend of backtracking on these "promises" under the onslaught of justifiable need.

These conscious "trade-offs" severely impact the specific cases where dedicated hardware instructions exist that are capable of providing sometimes orders of magnitude improvement but are not yet encapsulated by builtins or blessed with snowflake exceptions in the standard library.

Your options for implementing the kinds of compute-bound tight loops which benefit from specialized instructions in Golang are:
1) Write the whole thing in Golang assembly so you only pay the price of a function call once on entry (Let's call this 0.4ns for a 2.5GHz CPU using a single cycle latency instruction per operation)
2) Use hilarious bit twiddling hacks that the compiler can inline which perform the equivalent operation with 10-20 cycle latency (4-8ns)
3) Use a Golang assembly library which presents a single invocation of the hardware instruction as a Golang function and have all of the gains absorbed by the function call overhead (~10ns)
4) Use the primitives available via the standard library to implement the function (as a general rule not worth wasting the time to optimize and comparatively benchmark for this class of function)
5) Fork golang, implement what you need, offer it as a pull request, and have upstream tell you to just go back to C or assembly if you care about performance (Literally.)
6) Target gccgo/(llgo?) (much better for this specific class of function but less performant in other areas, a different set of trade-offs).

In short: optimization trade-offs.

> Nomad is not a cheap imitation of Kubernetes

Nomad isn't a cheap imitation of Kubernetes but all these components taped together are. Kubernetes is no less composable than a system built on Nomad, it just includes more functionality from day one.

If you're running containers with a orchestrator like Nomad, at some point, you'll need DNS. So you do it yourself and then you're managing Nomad and DNS. Then (we'll assume, because you're using a container orchestrator to manage multiple services) you'll need service discovery, so you write some jobs and event handlers to glue together Nomad and your DNS solution. And then, because you're a team of responsible people, you'll want to store secrets securely, so you graft in Vault. And then, you realize zero-downtime config changes would be great, so you slap Consul in there and write some sidecars or library code to handle config updates. Then metrics. Then logs. Then rolling deployments. And it continues, indefinitely, as you add features.

If you started doing this five years ago, fine. If you start doing this today, you're out of your mind. You're just doing work for the sake of "but it's composable". There's a reason why teams still build applications on frameworks like Rails and Django even though they don't need half the features--it's more important to them to get something functional up and running than it is to satisfy delicate sensibilities about only using what's needed. Kubernetes is the analogue in the world of systems and operations.
Much like sports cars, computers get more expensive when they get lighter. I don't actually know if Air is lighter per se, but it is thinner thanks to the laminated screen.

I think it is kind of similar for macbooks now, if there is a suffix, it means it is somehow better than the base model. (although macbook Air is larger than a macbook... which is weird)
To consumers, 5G just means sufficiently faster than 4G to warrant a new number. “5G” presents an odd scenario, because there are parallel lines of evolution from what consumers currently think of as “4G.” LTE Advance Pro continues to evolve LTE, while 5G NR starts over with an incompatible air interface. Until you start using higher frequency spectrum and small cells, performance wise there is a lot of overlap between the two. An LTE Advance Pro network with a lot of spectrum is going to perform better than a 5GNR network without as much spectrum.

The problem here appears to be not that AT&T is departing from the ITU monikers, or using 5G to refer to LTE Advance Pro, but that it’s selling something as “5G” that’s not faster than “4G.”
Some of these are hilarious.
I'm always astounded how easy it is to shoot yourself in the foot with C++.

It's such a important, transformative and widely used language, but due to the age and the "let's put everything in without ever removing anything because backwards compatability!" mentality has created a monster.
most definitely not. at least not in the core.

the aim is to stay simple and target the common baseline; there are ~1e6 css and html supersets with existing tools to output plain html and css. surely it's not difficult to glue the subset you need together.

as an aside, i've come to dislike scss and much prefer to maintain my stylesheets in plain js, without awkward looping constructs, conditionals, variables, "mixins", etc. all of this is an already-solved problem with es modules and the language i already use: js.

Show HN: CoinBlick – Beautiful Designed and Personalised Crypto News Aggregator
Last year during the Crypto bear market I recognized that news can influence the market a lot in the crypto space, so I was looking for a mobile iOS App that summarized all the important news for me in one App, so I don't have to go through all the news sources I usually did (Reddit, Twitter, cointelegraph.com, etc).

Since I was working with React already for some years I decided to give React Native a try again and started developing this App. It took me 6 months to the release and a lot of effort to build it. I always had high expectations on the UI as a developer, so I wanted CoinBlick to be eye-pleasing as well and hired a Designer for that stuff. The guys helped me a lot and CoinBlick became a beautifully designed App which I like to use myself to get informed about Crypto News.

Enjoy it and leave comments if you like it or not.

I used to feel this way a lot. I think setting and writing down a bunch of small goals and trying to achieve them has led me to both be more successful and feel more accomplished. In the past, when I only had huge, grandiose dreams I often was either intimidated by them and never worked towards them or felt like a failure when I did work towards them and it didn't work on. Contrarily, when you set small goals and achieve them those dopamine surges keep you going and I've actually accomplished some of my old big goals since.
I see the “What about Steve” comment get posted every time there is a complaint about Apple’s lineup. The strongest rebuttal to this is the iPod line [0], circa 2005 or 2008. Apple has 5-6 full-size models and 5 models of smaller iPods.

Apple has always expanded their lineups to reach the maximum possible market, going both down and up for price points.

I also think you have how customers buy products totally backwards. Apple makes products for a price point and margin. Everything works back from that. Large differentiators are size and power. No one first thinks “I want 128 GB of storage, what are my options.”

That’s not to say that Apple’s current lineup doesn’t have issues, or that there is no confusion amongst models. You correctly point out several of those.

I’d say much of the current confusion in the line has to do with maintaining price points and preparing for ARM in the coming years.

Google Street View is limited to what you can see from the street. It would not work for several types of location.
Hmm, typically, I do store "UI state" (or parts of it) in the top app state if that UI state is shared among pages/routes. In your example, if I want that dialog state to be "persistent" - say, the user goes to another route then comes back, if the dialog state should be kept. Otherwise, I store them in the route component's state, which gets created anew every time.

But your question makes me think, if I store any UI state in the app state, have I really decoupled state and view? I'd say yes - since I'd be able to build and test UI state and actions, independent from the view.
It does, and I think the problem is more that Amazon's internal processes and tribal knowledge are a bit clueless when it comes to fraud. Their perspective, historically, has been to allow as many products as possible on the site, because one of the way they get and retain customers is by 'having everything'. Their metrics don't incentivize large purges. I think it's a bit of an arms race between fraudulent sellers and the retail org's processes and engineering, and unfortunately the latter iterates much slower so they can't keep up.

Also, the warehouse processes at least are heavily designed around catching mistakes like mislabeling, but less so intentional fraud like fakes (or - they were a few years ago, imo). And they tend to treat fraud like a big data problem ('what can we do to lower this statistic') instead of case-by-case: 'we need to get rid of every fraudulent seller'. Which, like, if you try really hard to move a needle from, say, 80% to 95%, that ultimately means you are vocally okay with 5%, which is stupid.

The colour of an object we see is based upon light refracted back. So if an object is black it is absorbing most of the light, and the classic grass - which appears green is actually absorbing the red and blue spectrum and reflecting back the green light - appearing green.

"Are dark objects dark just because the light they emit are in an invisible frequency range?" the light they reflect back may well encompass the non visible spectrum, after all that's how radar works and the drive for radar absorbing materials by the military. So not all objects that for us in out limited light spectrum visual senses are equal, even if they look the same - black. May be one reflects back UV, one may absorb it. So for a true picture you would need to see an absorption graph of the full spectrum (visible and non visible).

Crux is - objects we see via refracted light - we are seeing in negative. So whilst we see green grass, it's true colour is everything but green.
The issue with federated services is that they operate from the assumption that everyone has an anarchist sysadmin in their friend group who is going to help everyone run the federated infrastructure.

I’ll use SSB as an example. If you install the software and make an identity, you’ll soon find that you have to sign up with something called a “pub server” to actually get any of your friend’s updates.

Where do you find such a pub server? There’s a wiki: https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-server/wiki/Pub-Servers. The author of the wiki has found that it is necessary to admonish people not to just pick the first pub server on the list, since there isn’t really any criteria by which to choose them. If there was a sudden influx of more than a few hundred new users, it would cause utter chaos on this list. Someone would need to spend a lot of money on hosting, with no way to earn revenue.

Doctors also have masks to protect them from external things (for example, when they deal with patients that have tuberculosis), although I've just learned from Google that they are not technically called masks, but respirators (N95 respirators).

They are quite uncomfortable to wear, though. You can breathe just fine for extended period of time but it feels (at least to me, a layman in these things) like you get less air. I wouldn't wear it as an everyday thing.

I have no idea if there are more comfortable solutions that can handle pollution.
