"our actions toward their country have led to hundreds of thousands of dead Iranians over the years."

This false and inflammatory, moreover, 'sanctions' are totally unrelated to 'assistance'.

Today, Iran can de-facto trade with most of the world either directly or through intermediaries. The purpose of any embargo is to weaken a state economically, not withhold specific medicines, obviously.
I moved to Berlin, Germany in mid 2018. Some of the reasons included:

* a studio apartment costing $2100 a month.

* stunted career growth after I reached 'Senior Developer' level.

* had a minor bicycle accident with no broken bones. was taken to Stanford Medical Center hospital, and overall ended up paying over $5000 out-of-pocket after insurance.

* very boring weather (I like and miss storms).

* met only tech folks wherever I went.

* Trump.

I got lucky. I negotiated a relocation package, and ended up transferring within my company.

In Berlin, the culture and quality of life is infinitely superior. I love having the freedom to travel to other European countries. Health insurance is mandatory, and is automatically taken out of my paycheck. I had to make a few doctors visits, and paid nothing out of pocket. A 5 week course of medication cost me €5. Public transportation here is mind-blowingly good (coming from Bay Area). I pay €720 a year, and get unlimited travel on local busses, U/S/R Bahns, trams, and ferries. Plus I get to take +1 after 8pm and on weekends.

The way of living in Berlin is very different. It is taking me some time to get used to it (I miss garbage disposals and Walmart/Safeway/grocery shops open on Sundays). But I moved with an open mind, and absolutely glad I did.
The US government action was deemed illegal under the terms of a treaty (in that case the Treaty of Amity of 1955), which the US freely negotiated and entered into and ratified. What is the point of any nation entering into treaties with the US, if it's going to just ignore and violate them at the whim of whoever happens to be president at the time?

As a condition of easing sanctions, Iran filled the rector core of it's active nuclear reactor with concrete and was found to be in compliance with all the terms of the agreement. Good luck getting any other nation to enter into negotiations like that with the US in good faith again.

The Iranian regime is awful. They're appalling extremists and oppressive tyrants. No argument there, but that's on them. It doesn't justify recklessly violating treaties and unilaterally breaking agreements, and establishing a track record of doing so. If anything, demonstrating a track record of honesty and respect for straight dealing is even more important when dealing with such people.

Ask HN: Shell-Based Research Workflow?
Yesterday I was trying to figure out how to scrape odds from a betting website. This sort of thing involves a combination of trial and error, and a lot of intermediate files which are easy to lose track of. Also sometimes you will overwrite a result produced with other command parameters which you later need again. You will also lose track of the command and parameters you used to produce a file.

I am wondering how to organise this sort of job better.

Here is what my job involved:

1. Use Python and Selenium to give me the source of a page after it finishes loading.
2. Put the source through xmllint, look at it in an editor, find a script tag where the odds lie in some very obfuscated JS.
3. Extract the text of the script tag with xmllint.
4. Put the output of that through a JS parser, and extract the desired odds after trial and error to find the right combination of parameters.
5. Use another tool to format the odds as a TSV, 6. etc., etc., etc.,

As an example, Mathematica has notebooks which allow you to organise your job and go back to previous results. Normally everything is ordered by time, but you can also rearrange things. Mathematica notebooks actually allow you to construct a tree out of your results.

You could also view my job above as a tree. Each call of a command takes some input files and gives an output file, which maybe is used by another command. Maybe I make multiple invocations of a command before realising that I want to go back to a previous result and use that as input for further research.

How do you organise your shell-based research jobs? Does it involve some sort of file-naming convention? Is there a GUI for this? Do you have some sort of shell-based tool which shows a nice tree relating your commands, their parameters and their result files? Maybe there is an Emacs package written for this? Do you put things in separate directories?

I'm interested to learn about your methods.

I was under the impression that the main benefit of Vulcan was reduced CPU overhead and allow multithreading for GPU related code.

It seems like pairing it with node negates most of that advantage. Is that an accurate assumption?

I once used booking.com to book a hotel. The description did not match reality (it was a very expensive hotel, 'wifi everywhere' but in reality not in the restaurant). I complained with booking.com and they said the hotel would solve it, offer we something. They did not. So booking.com asked if it was solved to satisfaction, to which I replied 'no'. That was it. I never got a review request. Which they normally even send several reminders about. So I was unable to leave a bad review.

The shadiness is everywhere. And we just accept this as a Brave New World.

TL;DR: I love PopOS.

I tried yet again to switch from Windows to Linux 2 days ago. I've tried before but have always ended up back at Windows (WSL is actually pretty useful).

I tried and failed to get a few Linux distros (that I found interesting) working for me. The last was Ubuntu Budgie. I had heaps of trouble with Grub and I wasn't even trying to dual boot.

I was just about ready to give up for another couple of years and I found out about Pop!_OS while searching for info about Grub. You did a blog post about switching out Grub. That got my attention because I've never liked Grub.

For the first time in years the install of a Linux distro just worked. I instantly loved everything about Pop!_OS except for very few things (so far). Thank you for making Linux nice to use. My (non-techie) wife will probably be switching to it too. She'd probably consider buying one of your computers if you were in Australia.

In case you want to know, these are the things I don't like about Pop!_OS.

WARNING: personal opinions follow!

1. The special characters in Pop!_OS. It's ridiculous. I had a hard time remembering it to search for it. I feel dirty every time I type it. I feel dirty every time I type PopOS too because I know that's not the name. It makes it more intimidating to non-geeks. The simplest distro should not have the most complex name.

2. The default (as with most distros) mouse profile is not flat and I needed to install a program just to tweak it to be flat. Why does every OS not have that as default? Flat is the only intuitive mouse profile. And why do I always have to jump through hoops to change it?

3. The default terminal is inferior to Tilix and I have not yet found a way to make the right-click action in the file explorer open in anything other than the default terminal. Even if I make Tilix default and symlink the gnome-terminal binaries to Tilix, PopOS still opens the lame terminal.

4. The default desktop background. It's the first view of PopOS I got, and it was off-putting. I made sure to change it before showing PopOS to my wife.

The meaningful thing that needs to be done is that Iran needs to solve their government problem.

If I recall, the US had to do something like that back in 1776, and Germany had to have some assistance in it back in 1939-41.

I think that you are misinterpreting that statement. The .ORG directive is indeed somewhat of a hint to the assembler (or rather, obviously, a directive) telling it which memory location it should assemble the code for. It is a hint in the sense that it doesn't necessarily reflect the actual location of the code at run-time, because it is separate from linking.
Interesting to see so many people here prefer smaller phones over big ones.

I was using iPhone 5, 5S, and SE for over 6 years. This Christmas I switched to XR and I couldn't be happier. I feel like there are so many productivity things I can do on my phone that were annoying before.
I use notes, emails, and even Google Spreadsheets much more. I started using the Kindle app for reading and I actually like it. Sometimes, I even prefer it over Kindle (mostly because of what I can do with highlights right away).

The only downside is that a pocket on my favorite jeans isn't big enough. So the phone often has to go inside my backpack.
I’d be happy with an SE and modern cameras updates. Don’t need dual-lens or 3D face stuff but from generation to generation Apple makes great improvements to their camera hardware and software. It’d be a shame to be stuck with inferior optics for the sake of having a smaller phone size.
If it’s the product you want and the price is worth it to you then why feel a fool?

If the similar phone did what you want then you’d buy that instead. The extra $900 is either worth it for the missing feature or not.

Nobody’s a fool in this situation.

For me it is the money.

I think I would enjoy it, doing the research, even the grant/publication game. But where I live, I probably wouldn't have money for feeding my family. The money you get kinda assumes you are still a student living in a dorm, or equivalent, unless you are lucky to work on a really well funded project or your academic institution can supply you with a wealth of teaching/other side-jobs.

Compared to being employed as a developer, I just don't see it worth it.

These number should are off the top of my head but should be reasonable.

Suppose, you want to supply an island with nuclear power. Lowest recorded useage at was 1GW of power and the peak recorded daytime use is 3.5KW of power. Average annual power useage was 2GW and peak daily useage was 2.4 GW.

You can buy nuclear power in 0.25 GW increments with 95% of the cost being there of the power is used or not.

Nuclear costs 149x per GW, Wind 45x, solar 40x average daily output. Nuclear needs to be offline 4 days out of the year for maintenance, wind and solar provide a minimum daily output of 40% their maximum.

Now, without lot of storage nuclear needs 3.5GW even if one plant is offline at a minimum but preferably some cushion if future needs are over 3.5GW. Thus we need 4GW of Nuclear for 596x to be safe. (Larger grids need less cushion, but still need to plan for multiple GW or Nuclear to be offline.)

Wind and solar need some storage, but even using the lowest values of 40% average output that’s 45 /.4 x 3.5GW = 400x.

Though if we had some storage we could also drop Nuclear to 2.4GW + safty factor to get closer to 400x. But remember we now produce 2.5x as much solar/wind on the average day for the numbers to get close, and we still need to use storage for nuclear. Further, those assumptions are unfair as in practice solar and wind minimums don’t occur on the same days as maximum power usage.

> Today, Iran can de-facto trade with most of the world either directly or through intermediaries. The purpose of any embargo is to weaken a state economically, not withhold specific medicines, obviously

This is not true. Even opening a foreign bank account (necessary for trade) is impossible for Iranians companies, making trade extremely difficult for all companies.

European banks are legally permitted to trade with Iranian companies, but the threat of fines from the U.S bars all of them from doing so.

> The purpose of any embargo is to weaken a state economically, not withhold specific medicines, obviously.

In reality, one of the immediate effects of sanctions is scarcity of medicine.

I feel like people who come to Clojure forget the lessons that were known from the time of SICP that just because you can program using data, does not excuse not building up an abstraction tower.

If you have entities in your domain, presenting clean and encapsulated ways of interacting with them is a separate concern from navigating and modifying their underlying datastructure, which is an implementation detail.

IMO the "it's just data" benefits of Clojure are that a lot of the common patterns which might have felt like being macro-worthy in CL/Scheme are achievable using things like keywords, which leads to more uniform code (rather than ad-hoc project-specific macros).

This is incorrect on a couple accounts.

First, one can easily see a normal target at 300m with unmagnified iron sights. US soldiers have to qualify on drab green pop-up targets at 300m on a semi-forested range and they routinely hit them. At 100m, the target is just a head and shoulders. Easy to do with an M-16 given a little practice.

Second, the AK-47 is quite poor at preserving point of aim across successive shots due to its design. This is because the reciprocating mass (i.e. the piston) is far out-of-line relative to the point of shoulder contact, creating torque that pulls the barrel away from the point of aim even with a relatively low-energy cartridge. The M-16 action, by contrast, has an almost perfectly inline reciprocating mass that produces little torque, among the very best of all common assault weapons, which makes it unusually easy to control point of aim during rapid fire.
I started advantage gambling when the internet casino craze took off and fell in with a bunch of people that had been longtime advantage players in casinos, in arcades, basically anywhere there was to crank out an edge in expected value.

It was really interesting and I was actually able to build up a bankroll that I learned to play poker with, and then played poker to put myself through graduate school. (Poker is always plus EV if you are at the right table for the right amount of time)

But, wow, was there ever a lot of grinding. People putting in 24+ hour long sessions playing video poker during specials, people counting cards for hours to push small edges with an amount of variance that would kill the average person's emotions, etc.

Internet casinos changed the game a little bit because the really serious people went towards automating play and establishing many fake identities to claim new player bonuses with, my first exposure to people running many computers through multiple VPNs, etc which to me started to push the line away from advantage play and towards criminal activity.

But, often times the online casinos were just as shady. More than once a fabulous bonus was offered, the casino stayed open for a few weeks, and then magically while they were "processing withdrawals" they just disappeared off the face of the earth.

> The EU has also passed legislation prohibiting EU companies from implement US sanctions and indemnifying them against US fines

These moves have mostly been symbolic. Trade with all large European companies, from Total to Peugeot has been ceased. Also, no European bank has been willing to trade with Iran under the threat of U.S fines.

> And there's an EU venture to replace US institutions in Iran-bound financial transactions

Good gesture, but also symbolic. In practice, the new mechanism is mostly a gesture towards U.S for its unilateral sanctions, than a vehicle to enable trade with Iran.

Edit: typo
Iran had a somewhat democratic government until the US overthrew it and replaced it with a monarch in the 50s. Iran subsequently had another revolution with a total purge of foreign influence in 1979. Subsequently a huge number of Iranians were killed in the Iran-Iraq war, where the US supported Iraq.

Modernization can happen, but only if it's not visibly pro US.

Someone’s always negative in these threads, so this time it might as well be me.

First of all: that headline really has an apples and oranges feel to it.

Basically Rotten tomatoes worked because it merely curated and aggregated something which already existed in abundance: movie reviews, deriving a consensus based on that.

Doing the same for news, will depend on something which has yet to exist at any meaningful scale: news reviews (and what would that even be?).

So not only must it prove its value (and neutrality) as an aggregator, but it will also have to encourage the creation of something entirely new (news reviews) at scale, because otherwise it won’t have anything to curate.

I’m not holding my breath.
