> the UK has some of the best universities in the world

Let's not confuse leading research groups with general education quality. UK undergrad and PhD courses are short and their funding model makes difficult for universities to fail students (this is similar to what happens with master degrees all over the world).
Windows is pretty hackable. Unfortunately, the documentation is pretty spotty and often outdated. And you can't go read the source code when you get stuck.

Am I the only one who has two 27" monitors, but doesn't have to turn his head to look at them?

Mine are set up so that one is in front of me as normal. The other is tilted between the bottom of the first monitor and the front of my keyboard.

Pros: I don't have to turn my head side to side or upwards to see all of my screen real estate. I found that holding those positions too often bothers my neck and eyes, but looking down doesn't bother me at all.

Cons: You lose a lot of desk space. Cleaning underneath the bottom monitor can be a pain.

I think their reliance on selling a device and not services as their source of income made them great, but also made them vulnerable.

If they sold additional services that weren't necessary for the watch to perfom, then maybe they'd have survived without depending on Kickstarter for funding.

I'm sad they're gone. There is nothing quite like it on the market.

Sure, if we exclude everything that could go wrong, we have a very safe system.

But that means they have to send links to the tracking page, that will show the tracking page on hover as the link destination etc.

That is much more noticeable than sending a link that shows www.google.com but instead goes somewhere else on click.
That's transparent. They're claiming this is more transparent when it's not transparent at all. The browser is supposed to be a user agent, not a corporate lackey.
Both of those articles refer to journal articles if you are so inclined. My point is not that cell phone radiation is unsafe (it probably is safe), but that it's not an obviously resolved issue in the way that vaccine safety is.

The highest average commute times in the us are under 40 minutes in spite of that [0]. We have enough cars and car infrastructure that only a few % are stuck with buses; their poor performance has little impact on overall journey times.

The average is about 25 minutes and it goes up by only a few minutes in especially congested places. (If a 5 minute traffic jam is existentially distressing, wait till you see what waiting for the train is like).

As an immigrant I this is simplistic. I think there are some legitimate questions your host needs to ask off you without it being regarded as being anti immigration. Where are you going to live, do you speak the language, what skills do you have, do you believe that men and women are equal, do you believe bribing a cop is wrong, what is your attitude to paying tax... There are also questions that I think the world needs to focus on for example. Just why are so many of us jumping ship? Surely the whole of African continent cannot migrate to Europe. Something is wrong in some countries in Africa and some hard and unpleasant truths have to be acknowledged before we can start to fix anything.

There are many possible factors that explain the UK's productivity gap. But ultimately, productivity is mainly an inverse function of labour cost.

In economies with a high supply of labour and thus (relatively) low wages, there is less incentive for businesses to invest in labour-saving plant and technology. Why make the risky investment in automation when you can just hire more workers cheaply?

The car wash business illustrates this: where there is a good supply of cheap labour, you'll find "hand" car washes with multiple attendants ready to wash your car by hand at any time. But when labour is more scarce and expensive, washing cars by hand isn't really viable. Businesses will instead invest in automatic car wash equipment - and productivity per unit of labour is therefore higher!

In (higher productivity) France, automatic car washes are everywhere.

In the (lower productivity) UK, there are an awful lot of hand car washes.

In the original article they are talking about Ultrawide single monitor setup. In practice, all ultrawides don't have the same aspect ratio as normal wide minitors (16/9 or 16/10). I have seen ultrawides from 21/9 to even 32/9 (just search for ultrawide, I'll not provide links). So it's not as easy as to divide 48" by 4 to get to 24".

Also, only very expensive setups give good resolution, to not waste all the metric space.
Using Machine Learning to Predict Whether Demolished Homes Will Be Rebuilt
I couldn't find a paper with a quick google, but i did hear in a recent podcast that it is exactly income inequality (as measured by the Gini coefficient) rather than absolute poverty that is the biggest predictor in criminality.

Everybody has different preferences and needs, I don't think there is a golden standard, but here is my setup.

4x27" (not retina, sadly I don't have the budget for this).

They are all horizontal, with 3 at the bottom and 1 at the top.

A
BCD

- C is my main monitor, I use i3, and my current focused app is always fullscreen, code editor, terminal, kicad, firefox (like right now). Nothing really new here.

- B is my "put it all" monitor, on it I have multiple i3 workspaces, with IRC, Slack, riot.im, twitter, chatty, discord, toggl time tracking, spotify, music player, keepass XC and a few other utilities. All apps on monitor B have notifications muted and I cycled them (the social ones), like once every hour or two hours. I hardly every look at B except when scanning social things and changing music. When working B is just black.

- D this is my secondary working monitor. Browser with dev tools, 3d preview, datasheets, documentation... all this goes there.

- A this is the persistent monitor. If I'm monitoring (eg trying to find a performance bottleneck in an app), I'll have a grafana or whatever graphs on it. Or a log tail, trying to find a visual pattern in the logs (sometimes it happens). Anything that has to persist through the day or even the week. If I don't use it (like 60% of the time), I put some ambient images on it, like this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4CQHzLAi8o
>> The market is flooded with a glut of 22-26" monitors that have the same low resolution as the smaller ones

The 27/30" inch monitors that are only 1080 make no sense to me. Maybe if you have really bad vision. I love my LG 4K and would like a 27" 5K but they're expensive. The text is so sharp on those things.

But, for a 21" monitor that is only 1080, if you're using multiple ones, you can sit back far enough away to be able to see 4 of them and not have the text unreadably small.

The younger guys at work like 25" 2560x1440 monitors and just run 8 point fonts, my vision was never very good so I could never use that for more than a few minutes. I'm using a pair of 27" monitors but I do end up turning my head a lot. I'd like to try a 3840x1440 screen.

We have a couple Steelcase 'collaboration tables', some with 1 40-something inch TV and some with 2 slightly smaller ones. They basically look like this:

https://images.steelcase.com/image/upload/v1415376898/www.st...

They are very nice to use for a few hours. My theory is that with the screen being 3-4 feet away from your eyes, your eyes are very relaxed. Watching TV vs reading a book.

This is despite the fact that they are only 1080 resolution. I'm sure we could stick 4K screens in there but I'm not sure how much more useful the resolution would be at 40".
> Why would you even invest in anything that looks like that?

You'll have to ask Peter Thiel, Bill Gates, Sam Altman, and some others why they invested in advanced nuclear. I suspect you'll hear something about how nuclear can produce low-footprint 24/7 carbon-free energy in sites all over the world.

Certainly I wouldn't expect a traditional investor to invest in nuclear to make a buck. It's mostly people who are trying to build a safe and prosperous world and believe nuclear can help us get there.

> you can't assume that a billion dollar industry in decline has no lobby and is "grassroots".

Sure I can. This industry has no pure-nuclear stakeholders. All the owner/operators are utilities, which have vast fossil, wind, solar resources to operate. The utility executives don't give two shoots about nuclear, they only see bottom lines in current markets. Among the vendors, GE is largely divesting from nuclear to make gas and wind turbines. I've seen pro-nuclear advertising, but only in France. I've never seen pro-nuclear advertising in the USA. You see wind and natural gas ads all over the damn place. If there were a functional nuclear lobby, you could probably point me to at least one pro-nuclear advertisement on TV. Can you?

I personally know a lot of grassroots nuclear advocates:

* https://mothersfornuclear.org/ -- a bunch of moms who worked at nuclear plants and wanted to tell people that they were actually good

* Seattle Friends of Fission: https://seattlefof.org/ -- a couple local grandparents who heard about nuclear wanted to spread the news of its low-carbon capabilities to other Seattle environmentalists.

* https://whatisnuclear.com -- a bunch of ~2006-era nuclear graduates who were trying to spread information about nuclear to help with climate change. Disclaimer: I founded this one so I know the story very well.

* https://www.generationatomic.org/ -- a few Minnesota folks who learned about nuclear and dedicated their efforts to it

* https://energyfromthorium.com/ -- a NASA tech named Kirk in Alabama who read an old book, got crazy excited, single-handedly rallied thousands of people with excitement about thorium, started a company, and recently got awarded a DOE voucher to develop his tech. If you've heard of Thorium, it's because of this guy, and it's about as grassroots as it gets.

The actual nuclear lobby group (NEI) is funded almost entirely by utilities who will rarely allow them to explain nuclear advantages over either fossil or renewables (because all the stakeholders have interests in those). They do good work, but it's not as targeted or hard-hitting as you might expect from a typical lobby group.
The possibility of an invasion of someone isn’t unrealistic by a Russia, but an invasion of Norway specifically not particularly realistic by the Russia of our timeline. For one, Finland and NATO-member Norway would have much stronger backing by the western allies than they did in 1939. For another, nuclear states would have to give up MAD in favor of Mankind Absolutely Rejects Nuclear Explosives.

Meal boxes are more than twice as much/meal than buying your own ingredients. I calculate the average cost per serving when I duplicated Hello Fresh recipes at roughly $3/serving. Add in a few hundred dollars a month for eating out as well, the occasional dinner, lots of lunches, all a luxury compared to cooking/preparing your own.

I have no idea where you're getting $60 for cable, that may be the promotional cost but where I am, it's $75 for the cable, $11 for the cable box, and about $25 in other non-optional fees too, bringing it to $110 for the base package, and using that price is still a straw man: My comment specifically referenced the high-end even more expensive packages that can top $200 per month. Add in internet to that cable bill with upgraded data speeds and that can easily be another $100/month. Then Add in another $30 per month for a few streaming services, maybe another $30 for content rentals/purchases, $20 to see a movie in theaters once a month

Then there are costs the significantly pad essential things like housing and auto costs:

Plenty of people lease a new car every 3 years instead of buying one and keeping for a long time, and at the same time spend more than necessary, getting a top model when a base model for $10k less will work just as well.

Plenty of people buy much larger houses/apartments than necessary, opting for more rooms or more square footage than is needed, fancy appliances, counter tops, etc.

It's possible to do all of the above in single-person household. Now consider a married couple, or a couple with kids.

None of the above is all that abnormal. It's also a straw man to say people can't afford this: You attribute to me an argument I never made. I never claimed every person could or did spend this much money or luxuries. Nor was I referring just to luxury items. I was referring to non-essential expenses in general, with some reference to luxury. And it is absolutely true that lots of people spend $18,000/year in non-essential expenses, while at the same time they have little savings, retirement, etc.

Ask HN: Who is working on repairing nerves?
This is my first ask HN so, I hope I do it the right way.

For quite a time, I have found increasingly hard to accept that we still cannot repair nerves, leaving people prisoners of wheelchairs or worse. Conceptually, we are talking about something as basic as an electric wire being cut between a central computer and various types of sensors and actuators.

I have been explained that this is a very very hard problem, but I have also had a difficult time understanding who is actively working on this problem.

So, who in the world is working on this problem? Where do we find the cutting edge people? How can a hacker contribute to this?

Thanks!

You can read Chiba's thesis which explains exactly how they are able to detect the systems calls made by the ELF using static analysis and code flow execution analysis (the techniques all seems very simple and ingenious - you can even try to write a little program yourself that uses their algorithm if you don't believe them). The thesis explains that there are edge cases and how they work around them. Remember they have to handle all of the system calls or the program would suffer from run-time errors.
No. Not "ergo, groups of people." Not emergent effects. And not the bystander effect.

Corporate culture as in, we want you to be a {insert company name here} person. And the corporation is set up to make that happen.

You're discounting having the ability to mold someone for a decade+, which is not an insignificant effect on their behavior.

Seeing the number of "nuclear energy is our saviour, and will solve all our problems, and is the only option" posts on the Internet, yes, the first step is to talk about the safety of nuclear without comparing it to other options.

And no, the comparison to plane vs. car is not appropriate: In both kinds of accidents, a number of people get injured or killed. In case of a nuclear accident, a sizeable area becomes inhabitable for centuries. That's on a completely different scale.

(And just for the record, I'm neither worried about flying in a plane, nor I am worried about driving a car. I am also not worried that the nuclear power plant near me will explode next.)

If we can agree that nuclear is not safe in the long run, and should eventually be abandoned, then we've made progress in the discussion.

It's also not "nuclear or coal". That's another thing in those discussions that bugs me. Fossil fuels (not only coal) are not the answer, either: they'll eventually run out, and they contribute to global warming.

And comparing them by "counting deaths" and "how many lives can be saved" is completely missing the point. Neither nuclear accidents nor coal usage immediately kill people. And it gets totally ridiculous when people try to argue that "there are accidents during wind power constructions; people have fallen to death. So wind power is mucher more dangerous than both nuclear and coal (if you only count the deaths)."

So in the long run, we need alternatives to both nuclear and fossil fuels. If those who say "nuclear is the only solution, it's so great" get the upper hand, we'll never develop those alternatives. And that's the point.

As for the short run, I don't really care. If we can efficiently stop global warming by shutting down all coal plantes and keeping the nuclear plants for a few decades, I'm all for it. Though I doubt that will be enough to stop global warming; we must also drastically reduce energy usage; up usage of renewables, redesign the electric grid, and efficient means of storage to it, restart projects like Desertec, etc., etc.

There's enough we can do. but arguing "let's just bet everything on nuclear, it's totally safe" is the wrong thing to do.
