abductions are not a real risk. They are incredibly incredibly rare. The fiction this is common is what has led to the over protection of kids and the inability of them to develop in the ways previous generations have.

Kids are much much more likely to face abuse from a family member or close friend than they are to be abducted. The sheer rareness of Amber Alerts (not to mention their effectiveness) are a good indicator of that fact.

From my experience both interviewing and hiring, a physics degree absolutely will not help you in tech. You will have more credibility than any non-STEM graduate, but employers will constantly wonder if you've bridged the gap created by your lack of a CS degree.

I feel like I'm the only person who's skipped chrome all together.

IE(because there wasn't much choice) -> Mozilla -> Firefox -> Palemoon

I keep firefox installed because some sites don't play nice with palemoon, but i've never used chrome for any extended period. I played with chromium a while ago but I didn't like it.

I've never really understood why chrome became so popular, when I tried it, it felt like a step back fromm firefox in every way. Sure it's better than IE, but that's not really a very difficult thing to accomplish. I'd rather use lynx than IE.
Why do think ridiculing unions is bad?
(speedcuber here too)

Two random squares being swapped isn't really something that happens in real life. But abstracting that, you'd notice as soon as you've placed the piece one of them is on, which is kind of hard to predict in general, it'll really depend on where it is wrt which side you started from.

What does happen in real life is two pieces ("cubies") getting swapped, say after assembling back up a popped cube. Using CFOP, you'd notice the inversion itself one sequence before the end, though you might notice the fact they're not oriented properly one sequence before that.

For more swapped pieces, (theory ahoy) there's two cases. Odd number of swaps: they're all equivalent to the case above. Even number of swaps: equivalent to no swap at all. Interestingly, you can cancel out an edge piece swap with a corner piece swap.

I hinted at it above, and it's related: no need for swaps, you can make the cube unsolvable by flipping an edge or rotating a corner in place. A CFOP solver would notice two sequences before the end. Edge flips cancel each other out by pairs; corner twists cancel each out by triplets of the same orientation. Contrary to swaps, there's no catching up a flip with a twist.

In all cases, almost-solving them is just a gasp of surprise away from solving an untainted one.

This is what you see even if you follow nothing or if you only follow stuff clearly associated with the right.

When you follow stuff associated with the right, it often gets unfollowed. This was very noticeable with the movie Unplanned. Basically you couldn't follow it.

I am commenting because I have read parts of your algebraic number theory book and used Sage extensively. The book helped me but did not significantly change anything about my life. It is possible to learn the same topics by reading other books. I love many parts of Sage and it has changed what I am able to do.

It seems like the options are

tenure: a path where you make incremental progress on narrow problems with the benefit of low stress and an excellent standard of living.

company: a path where you get to continue changing the world in a meaningful way. The cost is high stress and a less certain standard of living in your current city.

You provide a lot of details about your situation but I don't think they are relevant. The details would only matter if the worst case outcome of either path was a life that you could not bear to live. Given your many accomplishments this is not a problem.

I think people should try to minimize the regret in their lives rather than maximizing their average daily happiness. It sounds like you would regret not continuing to work on your company.

These obviously guesstimated statistics are a thinly veiled attempt to promote Brave, right?

I'm always surprised that Brave is so popular among the HN crowd. I guess that cryptocurrencies are the hot new thing, but Brave's alleged future business model is "hide ads from web pages, and then show our own". That's shockingly sketchy.

Using a built-in cryptocurrency to convince users to do their marketing for them under the promise that they might get rich in future when the value goes up is, admittedly, clever, if evil.

I understand why Ubuntu doesn't switch the default to KDE; there's too much history and people would recoil at such a big change. That said, I always run Kubuntu rather than the default Ubuntu desktop and I'm really happy with it. Switching to KDE is almost as smooth as it can possibly be: once I have Ubuntu installed, all I have to do is "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" and then choose KDE at login.

Some of the reasons I really like KDE:

* I have keyboard shortcuts for switching desktops; I feel much more productive with 9 easily accessible virtual desktops. I use the "windows" key, sometimes called "meta": meta-Q, meta-W, meta-E, meta-A, etc.

* I've added rules for automatically changing the window title bar colors to make it easier to distinguish between very similar-looking windows. My Sublime Text windows in particular have a different bar color for each project. Sometimes I have as many as 4 projects open at once.

* I can lay out and enhance my screen any way I like. KDE doesn't quibble and even encourages it.

> That is unlikely to happen in most lower-nativity (i.e. 'western' or 'westernised') countries.

That is already happening in most western nations.

Sweden shut down its immigration flood as one prominent example. It was a policy mistake that will not benefit their nation at all and they aggressively reversed course. Denmark has mostly followed Sweden in restricting its briefly loose immigration policies, because the results have been very poor.

Australia has implemented an extremely strict immigration system that locks almost everyone out unless you meet their merit requirements.

Canada has had a strict merit system in place for a long time. They have no plans to change that, because they know the damage it would do to their very nice welfare state.

Norway and Finland never relaxed their immigration policies in the first place.

Merkel's immigration flood exploded in her face with massive backlash politically. Germany was forced to turn back against that approach as it was politically untenable.

France has seen zero economic benefit from its loose immigration policies over the last two decades. When I say zero, I mean their immigrants have high unemployment and low education levels, the economy has not expanded at all, productivity is not expanding, GDP per capita has not expanded, and median wages have not expanded. They thought it would bolster their economy, it did the exact opposite, it's now a massive drag on each person in France that has to support the high immigrant unemployment rate.

Next will be the US, which will entirely turn against allowing mass low skill immigration. The US has dramatically expanded its welfare state over the last 30 and 50 years. The US now spends as much on its welfare state per capita as Canada. You can't combine increasingly shifting to a very expensive welfare state system with unfettered low skill immigration that can't pay its own way (and in fact does the opposite, it drowns the system). Bernie Sanders, to use one prominent example, understands how this combination has to work economically. It's why Finland only has 5 million people and isn't in a big hurry to get to 10 million (they could open the gates tomorrow and allow in millions of people; it's clear why they don't do it). You can have sustainable immigration in an expensive welfare state only if it pays for itself. All the best nations - highest standards of living - on earth follow this model for obvious reasons.

It goes deep in our psyche. In 101 Principles Of Design they mention a hospital that put up photos of bamboo trees in their hallways, so that it feels like you’re walking through a forest, because of the calming effect it has on patients. Photos of trees, not even real trees.
I never liked Unity nor Gnome. I use KDE but also like enlightenment distributions like Bodhi Linux. Would someone explain why to use Gnome? Just a habbit?
Even though the switch happened a long time ago, I still have a strong dislike for Gnome Shell. It might be irrational at that point since I've had plenty of time to get used it and I can't pinpoint an exact reason why I dislike it so, but it just irks me. I think the default theme deserves part of the blame. How can it still be so ugly? Unity was beautiful and behaved more naturally IMO.

> Facebook does not help you in getting any sucess at all.

I guess it depends on how you use it and what's your success condition. In a world where all your friends use it to communicate and tighten bonds, you staying out of it means losing that experience and being left out.

Right now I have a FB account that I haven't actively used in 5 years probably and I can live just fine. But I imagine for the younger audience it's going to be a bit harder when they realize they are left out of stuff. So sometimes this is no longer about using it to get ahead, it's using it to not be left behind.
This has very little to do with social media. It helps to read the linked espn article, which goes into far greater detail.

http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/12833146/instagr...

"Everyone now agrees that Madison was depressed, though she had never previously exhibited symptoms. (Depression exists on Jim's side of the family.) Something had changed with her brain chemistry. She was not seeing the world in the same way she had before. She had lost weight too, had become so thin as to appear sick.

The day before Madison returned to Penn for spring semester, she had a session with her therapist that Jim (note her father) also attended. She admitted to having suicidal thoughts. "If you have suicidal thoughts, don't act them out," her doctor said. "Either call me or call someone in your family.""

I don't see how social media can mask anything once this happens. The article mentions Jim din't like to discuss suicide as to encourage it, but he also mentioned transferring, and Madison herself went to her coach with a letter to quit track.

There's no "masking" at this point. The issue is, to be blunt people don't take these kind of things seriously. They want to believe the person will power through it and any signs that they do they seize on. I think maybe the sense of public failure-that she would have to drop out due to the pressure- guides this, as well as the realization of a mental illness.

I know HN has their own memes now, but it's kind of odd to blame social media when the young woman had plenty of real contact with family, friends, and coaches. But people here are invested into "social media= bad" that articles like this really fuel their prejudices.
I do and I have no plans to switch away from it. If/when it won't work on Ubuntu anymore I'll probably switch to Plasma, but for sure I'm not going to switch to Gnome. I have a desktop i7-7700 with 32 GB of ram and an RTX 2060 and Gnome still feels sluggish
Google Maps was a revolutionary product that popularized the category, they had no competition when it was released, at least now there's Apple Maps, Open Street Map, Bing Maps, Tencent Maps.

I was developing with ESRI ArcGIS at the time, ESRI was a multi-billion dollar GEO company who had no product that even came close to the instant utility Google Maps launched with.

The only other product that had a similar "Wow" factor around the same time was Keyhole which we were using before Google acquired them and used it to launch "Google Earth".

If anything Google Maps spawned competition in the last decade, the existing competitors like ESRI are still developing their GEO products for Internal/Enterprise use, but now there are a number of competing consumer mapping services that provide the same utility and functionality of Google Maps from large technology companies that didn't have GEO as part of their competency like: Apple Maps, Bing Maps and Tencent Maps.

Hahah, congratulations on completing the implementation! You might not believe it, but I visited the page just two days ago and saw the updates! I wanted to show mandalagaba to one of my little cousins, let him play with it for a bit. I connected my laptop to the tv screen, and then a mouse with a long cable to the laptop, so we wouldn't have anything in the way... we started playing with some fluid simulations, which are super fun... sadly, I couldn't get mandalagaba to work afterwards, I don't know if the HDMI connection caused some problem with the detected resolution, or if there was any other temporary issue... we had fun anyway, I'll definitely show him the page another day.

Really amusing to meet again. I don't have any new idea in mind which doesn't kinda lead mandalagaba to become a full fledged image edition program (layers, brushes, some effects, changing hues and tones, etc.), but if I come up with something nice I'll tell you. As seen in this thread, maybe devices (like a drawing compass) with multiple articulations? (you might also find some inspiration with polar coordinates and waves in this nice video about fourier transforms by 3Blue1Brown [https://youtu.be/spUNpyF58BY?t=233], like at 3:53 or 5:14). Keep up the good work!

I chatted with the lead over lunch, when they were kicking of a game AI initiative. I shied away, given that it appeared to be exactly as you say. My impression was that Watson includes everything from RNNs to linear regression, with an attempt to craft domain-specific taxonomies.
I doubt that's how Watson is being marketed to customers, though. IBM tends to oversell and under deliver and have grown increasingly desperate with their shrinking market shares in both hardware and services.
Wait...I can't get automatic security updates anymore if I install this? Am I misreading that?
My thoughts exactly. I actually prefer the alt-tab alt-tilde because it feels more natural to me. Thumb positioning is less accurate than finger (at least for me).

I would think that might be true right out of school. But with a little bit of experience and maybe some cool projects under your belt, I would think a physics degree would look very good for some of those really specialty, high paying jobs.

But I can definitely see how it wouldn't help at the onset.
I guess my experience has been the opposite. On every software R&D team I have been on, there has been about an even mix of computer science, physics, and mathematics with a few sprinkles of data science from the biology fields. Especially by year 5 or so - who can tell the difference between a computer scientist that knows physics and a physicist who knows computer science?

The only skills a person needs to learn coding is the desire to learn coding and the persistence to do it.
