>Amazon in most contexts refers to the company and not the river or the rainforest.

You obviously think that based on your example as completely ridiculous as it is, and arguably this is very false and only works in the context of the U.S. market, but it's actually completely irrelevant. Amazon, a U.S. based private company that won't be around forever (hopefully not), doesn't get to have wholesale ownership of the .TLD because it named itself after a word used to describe various geographic and cultural entities.

That very obviously, rightfully, and justifiably belongs to groups and organizations who have a vested interest on all things "amazon." Not the private, ephemeral company that named itself after these geographic, cultural "things."

Amazon owns the trademark. Trademarks only work in the context of markets governed by some set of economic laws and treaties. They do not own the word. This is an absurd conversation to be having, and yet-another-example of why brand TLD's were such a bad idea. ICANN is not in the business of trademarks and it shouldn't be. Brand TLD's are a kind of uber trademark because of how TLD's are structured. It's such a bad idea. Apple the company currently has .apple. A global fruit cultivated over millennia. But somehow Apple the tech company gets it.

It's a little of both, but yes Schwarzschild technically first predicted them.

> In 1915, Albert Einstein developed his theory of general relativity, having earlier shown that gravity does influence light's motion. Only a few months later, Karl Schwarzschild found a solution to the Einstein field equations, which describes the gravitational field of a point mass and a spherical mass.

To my knowledge none. Nobody is doing this, because it subverts how DNS is supposed to operate.

Yeah. Good luck diagnosing that when something stops working as expected.

These are considered first-line defense for a variety of mental states, like anxiety, stress, depression, motivation, etc. In only once instance however were the practitioners able to offer me non-visual alternatives. This speaks to an unawareness on the other side that some people really can't do what they are asking. There are, in fact, many different styles of meditation that could be deployed instead. But being asked to 'visualize your thoughts as words floating away" or "find your happy place, like a beach, and place yourself there" are 100% ineffective when you can't see a darn thing.
You're being downvoted, but I agree.

I worked at a BigCorp and it was one of the worst years of my life. The work/life balance was awful, and the pay was shit compared to the hours I put in and satisfaction I got out of the job. All other experiences I've had have been much more satisfying.

On top of this, people think BigCorp is a safe bet where a startup is not, but BigCorp lays people off in large swaths all the time because their stock price moves a millimeter in some random direction.

> For me it's not about orthodoxy. It's rather about teaching WHY we should do certain things instead of HOW. If we focus on the why, is sufficiently easier for people to decide this fits or does not.

Of course. But you shouldn't stop at one why. You should keep digging until you find more. I'd say... five of them should be enough.

I find it concerning that someone might think it's appropriate to add political messages to software projects. Imagine if some software developer added a "fuck Bernie Sanders!!!" remark to the README of a popular repo. Just my two cents.
I'm assuming that we all want roughly the same thing: we each want to believe all true facts, disbelieve all false facts, and hopefully help others achieve that as well.

I think your point about cascades is interesting, and it seems to jive with my experience. And I can see how censoring for civility would, as a result, be an impediment to changing minds.

I also believe @dang's point that not stifling incivility leads to unproductive flame wars. Which, I'm guessing, also results in conversations that fail to change minds.

So where does that leave us regarding HN discussions? Can you think of an approach that addresses both your and @dang's points? Are we stuck with having HN admins try to find the optimal censorship policy that somehow balances the issues you and @dang have raised?

Please also consider the possibility that you may have a greater appetite for (hopefully productive) acrimony than the majority of HN's target community. In terms of your theory of changing minds, the HN owners may wish for this site to be where people can discuss the logical / empirical aspects of issue in a calm and pleasant manner, and leave the mind-chaning, emotional stages of the discussions for other forums.
Could you please explain what you mean? Or what the benefits would be?

There is indeed, and it's making me very hopeful for the future of org-mode. Beyond Filestash (great work!) there's the somewhat similar org-web [0], Beorg for iOS [1] and Orgzly for Android [2], all of which them leveraging the power of org-mode without requiring anyone hitting M-x or C-c even once.

What Markdown has going for it is a much wider acceptance as a simple, straightforward way to work with text. Especially on modern devices, users with little or no coding background are successfully being lured into (superior!) plaintext workflows by apps with a great UI, and appear to take to it. iA Writer [A] and Bear [B] are two prominent examples of such apps, and I can't see why they would be any worse (or less popular) apps had they instead opted for org-mode behind the scenes.

This is what org-mode needs to gain widespread adoption, and I'm hoping we're on our way there.

If you observe a very wide band of light (e.g., EM radiation) and there is nothing received from those spots, then, for all intents and purposes, the region of that image is black.

Now, if you're asking if, perhaps, the region isn't really black, but rather it's emitting some sort of small radiation relative to the bright region, it would be essentially impossible to know without much higher resolving powers (since it might even be indistinguishable from the background noise generated by the surrounding region). There is no way to really know if it's "perfectly black" vs. "orders of magnitude darker than the surrounding regions."
Will be DOA in the Senate.
The black hole is warping spacetime around it in a severe fashion. The innermost (unstable) orbit is called the photon sphere, and light can make several orbits around the hole before either falling in, or going off to infinity. The result is that (depending on the hole’s rotation relative to your point of view) you’re going to see roughly the same image we have today. You’re actually going to see multiple images of the entire hole, stretched around the outer edge, and those images multiplied and distorted again. If you could somehow “stand” by the photon spehere you’d see the back of your own head many many times.

The other factor is that while the event horizon itself is a spheroid, the accretion disk of bright infalling material is not. The horizon is totally black, so it will always look roughly like seeing a disk face-on no matter where you look at it. The accretion disk is a “hoop” that’s stretched and the image is multiplied and distorted by the strong warping of spacetime in the region. As a result you get smeared and repeated views of the entire disk including portion behind the hole in a kind of bent band. Plus the whole thing is subject to strong Doppler beaming hence the bright and dark regions.

Look at the income distribution of new attorneys. It's very easy to get massive amounts of loans for the countless law schools out there but significantly harder to get a decent job as an attorney unless you go to a top 14 school.

Median salaries pool are much higher at the top yet tuition is really similar across all schools.

This is true with undergraduate programs as well. Median starting salary after graduation at University of Florida is 52k. FIU and UCF, both a few hours away with similar programs? 46k.

University of Houston? 53k. Rice University a few miles away? 64k.

I've named schools that are all pretty good...the story gets much worse with private universities that are not selective. There are always people who do fantastic regardless of which school they go to but in aggregate schools matter a lot.

> how is it okay (to even suggest) that personal devices of kids are so invasively monitored?

It isn't. Sorry my sarcasm didn't come through clear enough, but what you're saying and disagreeing with is my point.
The current incarnation of charter schools are a problem because they can choose who they want to admit with very loose regulations. Anyone who looks like they might be expensive or against whatever their corporate beliefs happen to be are not admitted. Public schools have to take everyone, which means they get the most expensive students (read: special needs and disabled students) while being stripped of revenue that they depend on to help those students.

Federalizing K-12 in the US is a pretty radical proposal but I think it's necessary if we ever want to get out of the inequality quagmire we're in now. Leveling the playing field would mean that no matter where you happen live your kids have access to well funded high quality primary education.
Ask HN: Snippet on Third-Party Website
I would like to develop a snippet of code that is added to third-party websites, similar to Stripe. When added on a page, it shows a button which opens a modal with a form when clicked.
I want to minimise the effort on the client side and have them just copy-paste a short snippet such as
<script src="https://mydomain.com/snippet.js"></script>

Stripe, Hubspot, Google Analytics all do similar things.

Is there any tool to generate this? Should we use any JS framework or just vanilla JS?

Inflation is usually measured as the change over time in the prices of a "representative" basket of goods (and which goods in which proportion is a pretty subjective choice). Over time, the costs of particular goods diverge a lot, especially with respect to wages, and how important those goods are to the economy also varies a lot.

The purchasing power of a typical weekly wage in 1800 or 1637 looks very different depending on whether you express it in terms of bread rolls, non-leather settees or bluetooth speakers (all of which are constituent parts of the modern UK CPI index)

It does seem really difficult. You have to pay people enough to live a normal life, which has changed dramatically over time. Now we expect disposable income, savings, healthcare, car purchase, devices etc. Back then, enough to eat daily may have been enough.
> I have to disagree about the problem here. Black text has been fine since the first printing press. And if you do want to make a page less in-your-face with regards to contrast, then it would be much better to dim the background. After all, the paper we read is mostly this grey-ish, yellow-ish colour.

I have to disagree with your disagreement. Paper and screens are completely different. Paper is passive whilst screen emit light.

So it's much better to have screens have a dark background and emit the text, so our eyes aren't as strained receiving so much light. It's far easier to see a headlight in the dark for example then during the day.

Whilst for paper, the only reason it's black on white was that we had dark ink which went on light materials. It's a lot harder to find light ink that goes on dark material.

please correct me if I'm wrong, but I belive tax evasion is the only debt-related (but still requiring a criminal intent to avoid paying) situation that will result in arrest. If you don't pay your student loans, even gov't backed ones, it will be a thorn in your side forever and result in civil actions, but I don't believe you can be arrested or criminally charged for not paying.
Uh.. It's the reason that the "shadow" is larger than the Schwarzschild radius. He's describing the ratio of the "rim" to the "hole". So while the picture may be fuzzy, there's information in it anyway about what the pictures means relative to how large/spin we think the black hole is. In fact I wish he'd said more about the Doppler effect.

I'm very critical of the "chemical imbalance" model for analyzing mental health issues. Much of how we define neurodiversity is related to someone's ability to work, and is culturally specific. Culture also heavily influences how a neurodivergent person experiences their symptoms (https://news.stanford.edu/2014/07/16/voices-culture-luhrmann...).

There's definitely a lot of different factors in play that are caused by capitalism - social norms, individualism/isolation, trauma/stress, additional distractions from technology, etc. I'll shoot you an email, but just in case I forget mine is fatimaraj@protonmail.com.
To be fair, physical book sales were down in 2009, when this was written.

Though I wonder how relevant such a statistic is in the context of this discussion. Is there really a difference between me reading some long-form piece online (like this one) - in terms of, for example, the concentration requirement (which this piece seems to care deeply about) - and reading it in a newspaper (other than probably fewer typos)? The same could be said for reading a novel I found on https://www.gutenberg.org compared to reading the equivalent physical book. Except that reading it online is free, and at least equally (possibly more) accessible.
Greek myths aren't directly a source of significant monetary value, the Amazon rainforest is.

Modern day ethicists employed at universities do not, generally speaking, found their beliefs within a traditional religious framework. They do not believe in an afterlife and punishment by an all-knowing God. Therefore, as long as they are not caught, it is of no import to them if they break the ethical systems that they analyse, because they, much more than Marx's 'masses', know that the ethical systems they study have neither foundations in reality nor a means of enforcement. To them, we are evolved apes who, by a process of physical and psychological evolution, have developed a culture of imaginary rights and wrongs that say you should not, e.g. steal. However, they believe that they will derive some positive benefit by stealing and so simply do so knowing, in their minds, that there is no authentic reason not to.
concerning is an understatement. Politicizing every aspect of our lives can in no possible way end up in anything other than a disaster, especially considering the current apatite for politicians and activists to regulate every aspect of the internet.

I made a bunch of money from ISOs at large, established companies.

I made zero (well, negative, really) from startup stock options, even before things got really shifty in the 2000s. One startup that I left, that is now a billion dollar company, simply decided to "extinguish" the shares I bought a few years after I resigned. I was probably cheated, but it's not worth the effort to go after them and they know it.

Treat startup options as wastepaper. You might get lucky, but it's really, really unlikely.

Well I absolutely cannot draw, but one of the most interesting things about the recent talk about aphantasia is how many creative people are able to execute their craft with relative ease, even without seeing things. Some seem to fallback to tools like constant tracing and erasing to try and build the image in front of them rather than in their heads. That mental visualization does not seem to impede the visual arts is fascinating and inspiring to me.

But no, I can't draw or paint or sculpt anything, but that never bothered me, and has rarely impeded my career in computing.
In manufacturing you strive to reduce exceptions (problem states, differences, inconsistencies), but in healthcare you are pretty much dealing with exceptions by default - healthy people generally don't go to the doctor.

In manufacturing you should ideally fix one problem at a time. In healthcare you don't have that opportunity, you have to deal with comorbidities.

In manufacturing you can fire troublemakers (eventually). In healthcare you have to treat them.
