I read a description of the final approach to the moon (it might have been from Michael Collins) and how unlike the way we see it from Earth, as they got very close it filled your view and was clearly spherical — had depth — hung there like a thing made of plaster of Paris…

To draw some analogies, Japan has some very conservative people in power, but that's more to do with the election systems that give more power to monolithic parties that attract rural voters. When you look at the proportional vote (Japan has FPTP + a non-reproportioning proportional segment), Japanese people are on average much less conservative than their elected government would make it seem.
For context, Medicare and Social security are each about $1 trillion/yr for a total of about 10% of GDP today.

You're making this more complicated than it has to be. You can easily know this by just looking at the capabilities that other tractor manufacturers are offering at the same price.

Like he said, there's no monopoly in the tractor business. And it's not like someone is buying a fake Gucci bag by accident. These are $100,000+ purchases with a lot of back and forth. You know what you're getting into and you've presumably shopped around to look at a ton of alternatives.
In general, you should not solicit from counterparties whether they believe the terms they are offering to you are reasonable or not. Assuming you're a well-compensated professional, which is true of the overwhelming majority of people on HN signing CIIAAs, you can afford to have every one read by a lawyer working for you, and you probably should.

In terms of whether it's a market term or not: continuing to own your work _even after you're separated_ is a market term; _owning work created after you're separated_ is not. There is virtually nothing that could possibly induce me to sign that second clause, for anyone. If you can't distinguish between these two, that's a great argument for having a specialized interpreter of contracts doing this instead of you.
Suggested load factor shouldn't mean anything. There is a spec, and the parts are supposed to meet the spec. And most of the struts did. It wasn't a case of blatant misuse. Something went wrong with a subset of them.

Got a Netatmo CO2 sensor recently and i think that needs to be rethought. That shit builds up fast inside a well sealed system.
I'm sorry but I don't see why the TLA+ modeling was necessary. You said that you noticed the lack of coordination before that. From your description, it seems like the mutex thing was a diversion. Anyway, a mutex would not necessarily be adequate for coordination (and many types of mutexes will not work between processes at all).

So to me it seems that you could have gone straight to the lightweight coordination mechanism without the TLA+ model. And anyway, if there was a problem with the mutex, you could test that theory by doing additional logging or an experiment around the mutex functionality.
I'll echo a lot of the praise about the format of this post. It was fun clicking and watching the figures animate as I changed parameters.

I was sad that the author missed a number of chances to get into more detail about the classic reaction-diffusion problem [1]. I was reminded of a small project I did which produced similar animations, though with periodic boundary conditions, for learning about the Gray-Scott model. These websites are pretty helpful [2][3].

I haven't ever taken a class on systems so I don't know, but after reading this I wonder if the propagation of "scientific bullshit" and "truth" through a network can instead be modeled chemically as in a reaction-diffusion model. The last figure shows real knowledge fizzling out because it turns fake. It also lacks a slider so I can't play with the parameters but there should be some point where they oscillate back and forth, i.e. a Hopf bifurcation or a Turing bifurcation. Adding a bit more complexity might add some more depth to this post. I hope there will be a sequel!

Any updates on this? It is from 2016.
I'm not positive about that. All I can tell you is that I never see WSJ, but I often see Fox News, WaPo, Politico, and Washington Examiner. The rest of the sources are a mixed bag.

I've been hitting Google News without a logged-in session (but with my real IP address) multiple times a day for 5+ years.

I noticed the increase in Fox News as a source around the time conservatives were complaining about censorship a year or two ago. Interestingly, though, Fox News is rarely the source for a major political news story -- it's often their fluff pieces that hit my feed.
The last time I checked, the IPCC ar4 report said that the effects of climate change would cost about 5% of GDP, starting in 2100. Some Wall Street Journal economists ran the numbers and found that the net present value of those costs are about 0.1% of gross domestic product. So the power of economic growth and compounding interest means that overreacting to climate change is even more dangerous than climate change itself.

To be fair, they only elected the conservative party, the LDP; the party elected the prime minister. Granted, they've elected the LDP almost continuously since 1955. Of course, they tried electing the other party in 2009, but their leadership kept resigning. Of course, given the LDP's stranglehold on politics, one has to wonder why they feel a need to pander to the nettouyo.

Once again embedded device security is a joke. Firmware updates are provided for 2 years or less on devices that end up lingering, acting as the core of networks for 5 to 15 years.

There are apparently still records of 37 transactions paying more than a what was then "good yearly wage" for a bulb.

Moreover, from another history book, after the "crash" "in Haarlem, the city with the biggest volume of tulip
bulb trading and thus the city with the most problems" ... "the
local court there refused to hear disputes relating to the tulip trade." That obviously lowered the chance of having the records about the direct effects of the crash.

So then obviously we would need to find a way to expand beyond mining the asteroid belt. The article says "...humans might struggle to mine the sun, or extract useful materials from Jupiter, a gas giant with more mass than the rest of the solar system’s planets combined..." So those would be the obvious next targets, assuming we can't or don't expand beyond our solar system.

Jury selection filters for people who vote, have long-term residence in a single location, have jobs that at least modestly allow jury service, and who actually show up to jury duty.

To make a sweeping generalization, those things all correlate with intelligence.

Anecdotally, the people I've met at jury selection in downtown Oakland, CA are not a representative sample of who you see outside the building.

No; the policy is that you must follow the site guidelines, even if others are breaking them.

We all perceive the other side as doing bad things more. That's a cognitive bias. To counteract it, we have to inhibit the impulse to stick it to the other side "equally". Does that make sense?

For better or worse, we are living in a world that is going through a great consolidation of wealth and power. Israel is a major beneficiary of the fiscal consolidation that we see happening around the world. Currently, there are more multimillionaire households in Israel per capita than the United States, Britain, Canada, Sweden and even Denmark!

As a United States citizen, it saddens me that our country is heavily focused on equipping and supporting a foreign entity that has been known to violate international laws and break their own agreements with the Palestinians (Oslo Accords) (Illegal Settlements in Internationally Contested Land). There is a long legacy of broken promises on behalf of Israel. Their reputation in the international community is bad for a reason, it is indeed an apartheid state and has been since its inception in 1948.

As humans, I believe that we have a moral obligation to ensure that a basic level of quality of life can be enjoyed for ourselves. If we are fortunate enough to be blessed with an abundance of resources, then our obligation to ensure a basic level of quality of life can be attained for our neighbors as well.

We see this natural progression very clearly in America and other countries. When an individual grew up in an impoverished neighborhood and eventually becomes a celebrity, they invariably elect to give back to the community, supporting their neighborhood and hoping to help others achieve a basic level of quality of life that we all as humans are entitled to. The responsibility that we have as humans to help others has and always will be held by the individual or country that is doing better off in terms of resources, knowledge, experience or financial variables.

A change must happen for the betterment of humankind. It is not the Palestinians fault that they were subjected to a full-scale military invasion in 1948 followed by 70 years of humiliation and severely degrading living conditions. The Palestinians in Gaza are unable to travel by Land, Air or Sea, their basic human right of freedom of movement has been restricted. The living conditions are wretched as a result of many restrictions imposed by Israel. The United Nations has deemed Gaza uninhabitable due to poor drinking water and lack of electricity. Currently, the annual income per capita in Gaza is $1,826.

It's my understanding that anything is allowed by some, as mentioned previously in this thread – boundaries are drawn with the intention of breaking them - these boundaries are both physical and abstract ones. I am sure that the intention would be to go much further than simply crossing boundaries but to rewrite the entire playbook.

Grandiose plus indignant equals flamewar. Flamewars are off topic here.

> Also, Japan has a vocal far-right fringe, but the average Japanese person has no qualm with Koreans and Korean TV, music, food etc is widely popular.

And Israelis love Palestinian/Arab hummus. That feeling is not transitive to the Palestinian people.

> There are over 500,000 Koreans living in Japan, many 2nd or 3rd generation, and plenty more naturalized Japanese of Korean descent. If anything, I'd suspect there's a lot more antipathy in Korea towards Japan than the other way around...

Zainichi Koreans of any generation are not citizens and have limited rights in Japan, and can face widespread discrimination if they do not hide their identities/ancestry.
It's worth pointing out, I think, that nowadays most Germans and Jews get along perfectly fine, despite their history a few generations ago.

So just citing that case isn't a full explanation of the enmity between Japanese and Koreans.

There's plenty of data to show taller people get paid more, but interestingly - females are punished for being heavy, and earn more if they are thinner [1]. Males however actually make more money as they weigh more given their height (this could be muscle, fat, or just 'big bone / girth' I recall).

Worth noting that Angela Ahrendts, former VP of Marketing at Apple is 6 foot 4 - that's like the top 99.999th percentile in terms of height. Consider what it means that the highest ranking female at the company was probably also the tallest.

Keep in mind that he's been ticketed 82 times, not sued by the city or charged by the city district attorney. That is why the lower court ruled that his civil case against the city didn't stand, since he couldn't name a specific person he was suing.

While continuously suing a person can be considered harassment, a city can ticket a individual indefinately. As long as it's not based on any class-protected issues such as race, religion, ethnicity, etc, the ticket can be for anything.
I saw that as well and I find that scarry. Something so basic that should never happen. I wonder what else was ignored or mismanaged and might kill someone one day.
I am struck in particular by the 'expert --> idea' simulation. It suggests that an effective strategy for beating the competition to the punch in making a breakthrough discovery is to concentrate a diverse collection of expertise (it also explains why it pays to be very social in your career as a researcher).

As mentioned in the article, putting specialists together in the same room is one way to accomplish this, but I can imagine the same happening in the mind of a single polymath, who, though perhaps being mediocre in several subjects, connects enough dots to beat the competition to combining them in a novel way. It might also make sense to recruit a few such polymaths/generalists to be put in your room of distinct experts, since they might serve well as a sort of 'interconnect bus' between them.
A new city attorney settled with him a year later as part of an effort to get the city free of a whole raft of §1983 violations, the sort of incessant petty but systemic abuses of authority that can lead to municipal bankruptcy.
> How could you use the two "variables" in the same expression?

Do you expect to be able to use every random variable which can be conceived in the same expression?

If you object to the name “conditional random variable” [+] that’s debatable, but if you say that the resulting thing is not a random variable I think you are wrong.

Another thing that is a random variable, even though I suspect you may not like it, is the probability distribution of a random variable.

You're setting up a straw man. Google's 'favorite' site was CNN, ending up as 11% of all impressions, nearly twice as high as any other single site. Quantitatively CNN has seen their viewership plunging to the point that they now have well under a million primetime viewers. [1] Their results on Alexa [2] show a similar online trend, and that is very much in spite of the fact that Google is constantly 'recommending' them which provides is providing a major inorganic boost to their traffic.
