There are certainly at least some people who still have issues with Einstein because of his support for socialism.

I think in general Da Vinci is viewed so well today because distance in time tends to reduce everyone famous to a stereotype of themselves.

Most people know the stereotype of Da Vinci, and won't be able to tell you much about him beyond that. Einstein is rapidly heading that way too - I'd expect the proportion of people that knew of Einsteins support of socialism today is relatively low, and that even fewer are aware of his very strong opposition to Menachem Begin, for example.
Quick question: Why put all of your eggs in one basket? I know you want to maximize profits, but you also want to minimize risk? For all anybody knows the next big CPU CVE could be on AMD architecture, especially as people will now being taking the processor much more seriously.
Well, another option is that it takes - say - 200 years to get from the stage of "we're producing enough radio output to be visible" to "we developed cloaking" or "we switch to other tech that is intentionally or not - not visible".

If that's true, only a very small fraction of planets with intelligent life would land in the window where we can observe them.

Another option is that you might have many civilisations that are just as intelligent, and just as developed, but not in the same fashion - imagine 99% of intelligent species out there are more like dolphins than like humans.

Or their atmosphere is just a bit more hazy than ours, so they are not aware of the night sky filled with sky, so with less curiosity to imagine the world outside of theirs.
If you don't want to live in a high density area, then why did you choose to live in a city?

There is a way easier way to do this: just raise the minimum wage. You can do it at the State level if you're concerned about federal interference in stare policy (in fact, I think it's better to do it that way because it's closer to the people who understand the calculations required to strike the right balance).

Obamacare was a massive failure for most Americans, and the VA is filled with horror stories. A large portion of young people don't think Social Security and Medicare will be around when they're older. And the financial stability of those systems doesn't look very good.
This comes up all the time and it's silly.

If dropbox only had a high valuation on paper, but employees/founders/investors couldn't actually exchange that into real $ in their bank account then sure, you can say the jury is still out.

But that's not the case. They built a product, have tons of paying users, and have IPO'd with a market cap over $10B. It's not money that only exists on paper. Founders and employees can sell their shares for real money and buy real things.

Their shareholders aren't just a handful of VC's anymore - they are public. The jury has decided, it's successful

A chromosome is a physical object. You can see them under a microscope. In eukaryotes, they consist of a DNA double helix supercoiled and wrapped around big protein structures called nucleosomes, along with a bunch of chemical modifications of certain bits sticking off the nucleosome and of the DNA structure which are involved in a bunch of different functions in the cell. In bacteria and archaea, it's still supercoiled, and there are some proteins that are similar to nucleosomes in function, but the picture is much more diverse.

Animals tend to have the same number of chromosomes at all times, and they tend to come in pairs that are nearly identical. There are various ways of mapping chromosomes that yield unique fingerprints that are stable under the level of variation we typically see in a species (see restriction mapping for example), so we can take a particular fingerprint and call it chromosome 1 or 2 or whatever. Animals have two copies of chromosome 1 and two copies of chromosome 2, etc. There are individuals who don't, who have a single copy of one or extra copies, and this causes problems, such as Turner syndrome. Similarly, when animals reproduce, each parent produces a germ cell (sperm or egg) that has one of each of the chromosome pairs. One of the reasons that many hybrids like mules are sterile or nearly infertile is that their chromosomes, coming from different species, aren't in pairs, so when they pass on half of them, there may be necessary hunks of DNA that just aren't passed on.

Other species have different numbers of copies of chromosomes, and may vary. Depending on point in lifecycle and conditions, some plants range from two copies to hundreds. Dinoflagellates tend to have four for interesting reasons that I believe are related to the Byzantine generals problem.

There is no XY chromosome. Females in mammals follow the normal pattern with the X chromosome: they have two of them and they are passed on like any other chromosome. Males are weird. They have one copy of X and a copy of a shrunken chromosome called Y. Note that this is only mammals. Birds and reptiles have a totally different set of chromosomes for sex determination, and in some vertebrate orders the chromosomes don't fully determine sex. Incubation temperature often changes it.
...how is any of that relevant to anything under discussion, beyond the keyword “india”?

India, and every other third world country, has their (many) problems, but nonetheless, the economy of those living on a dime is far superior to whatever exists in the US.

Minimum wage, as all regulation does, strangles such poor economies (there must be an official term for this; anyone know it?) by virtue of creating a hard line where things simply cease to exist, be it half-functional cars, drugs, housing, wage, etc. Anyone above the line is better off (all options are now guaranteed to be at least decent), and anyone below simply has no options.

Whether we really want this depends on the context and subjects (drugs, banks are high-return targets for regulation; cars and wage perhaps less so), but that regulation deletes a market, by-design, should always be a part of the consideration, though it rarely seems to be.

If zshbleaker doesn’t respond, I’d guess that over time what’s acceptable and not acceptable changes (e.g. opinions about particular people who may have fallen out of favor, or Taiwan policy toggling between bellicose and conciliatory, etc) so rather than getting in trouble for providing acess to “inappropriate” content you simply ditch it.

If used well EPUB is suitable as the source (more than Word anyway). It's generally just HTML with some metadata.

I think it is (in theory) even allowed to make an EPUB of LaTeX files, except that EPUB readers aren't required to support LaTeX (you're also allowed to provide both HTML and LaTeX, although the W3C probably expected people to use that part of the standard for audio-books).

I wonder how many people see this headline but don't realize this happened over year ago when they also saw a similar headline for the same accident. Combine that with constant headlines about Tesla vehicle fires, financial troubles, production problems, and Elon's tweets, and you end up with a terribly misinformed, skeptical public, hesitant to embrace the technology and company the world desperately needs.
Thanks for quoting 'healthcare'. I make it a point to refer to it only as 'health insurance' because that it what it is.

I think rebranding it as 'care' was a real slick move by some marketeers and absorbed by the media. Every time i see the word repeated i feel like they won their little subliminal game. Recently i read someone using the words "climate disruption" instead of "climate change" which i rather liked.

Our eggs are already all in one basket across two vendors and that did already bite us. Cost wise, it doesn't make sense to load balance across Intel and AMD. We have to pick one or spares cost are doubled and tooling has more overhead.

In a few years, if Intel have their act together and AMD start having more vulns, then we may swing back the other direction. Only time and vendor actions will tell. This assumes we even move to AMD.
Outside of dedicated enthusiasts, I don't think the average reader wants to take the time to "compile" their book.

Most commercial services these days (if my HumbleBundle books from O'Reily are any indication) simply provide pre-compiled editions in EPUB/MOBI/PDF format, as this seems to cover 95% of use cases.
In the end of 90s and start of 00s Microsoft was the dominant OS on graphical clients (GUI). Before that, it was [in no particular order]: CLI (including DOS), UNIX (X11 such as SGI IRIX or SunOS), nothing (pen & paper), and some fragmentation/diversity in SOHO (such as Amiga).

Fast-forward to end of 10s and the dominant client is the web browser stack where Microsoft is barely relevant. That Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office are still dominant is hardly important as the market trend is that these markets themselves are less relevant. If not merely for the fact that venfor lock-in has shifted, in favor of the other 4 in the FAANG stack.

You could configure your IDE to re-format files into your favorite format and just have a pre-commit hook that formats them back into the official format. That's how I work. No arguments about style and formatting, yet I get to make the code look how I personally prefer it.

Our immigration system is to benefit Americans (a better economy is good for Americans). We don’t have the responsibility to make things better in other countries. It’s their government’s responsibility, not ours. Now, if they want to become the fifty first state in the union and we go thru the process and bring them in, ok.
That would make the program not free/open source (e g. CC-BY-ND is not considered free), so free-only distros such as Fedora would have simply not considered it.
Against my better judgment I'll bite.

I super dislike black's formatting, and I think it's really rare to actually see it in codebases. It wraps weirdly (sometimes not at all). I'd prefer to use yapf, but last I checked it still crashes on "f-strings".

Here's a small example:

basket.add({
apple.stem
for satchel in satchels
for apple in satchel
})

Black formats this as:

basket.add(
{
apple.stem
for satchel in satchels
for apple in satchel
}
)

I've never seen Python code like that.

I totally believe using a formatter is good practice. Black is in a challenging position of coming into a community with a lot of existing code and customs, and I get that. But I also think that's an opportunity, rather than having to guess at what is good, there's a wealth of prior art to look at. I wish it had done this, rather than essentially codify the author's style.
I just started using Affinity, how does this compare?
I do not think there is anyone questioning that she is doing this to herself. The outrage is in regard to the system that allows this to happen. I think there is a long history in this country of standing up against laws and rule that people find unjust/imoral/unethical, our country wouldnt exist otherwise. She is, in many ways, a patriot for making this stand. The court is doing what is in their power to do, she is merely pointing out that the court should not have this power. She is in a uunique position to have this sort of a platform and she is not squandering that position.
> If everybody wants to go to Harvard then why can't they expand the school

Well, you can only physically expand a single school so far, but I get what you mean. I think the bigger problem is this concept of “elite universities” and this sort of credential signaling that seems to matter so much. Honestly, I can’t tell how much it really does matter. I went to Valdosta State University (never heard of it? Nope, neither has anybody else), but have worked with Harvard and MIT grads who respected my opinion and treated me as an equal. My 15 year old son, who I’ve never really pushed too hard to worry about getting into a “good” college worries about it anyway, because everybody he knows is worrying about it. He says things like, “If I don’t do well on this test, I’m going to end up going to Texas Tech” and I think, “Hell, Texas Tech is better than where I went to college, and I’m doing fine… should I tell him not to worry so much or encourage him to shoot for the top-ranked colleges?”
Can anyone suggest a book a lay person can read to be better educated about how to understand/engage with rigorous law? like save for reading a civ pro, con law, and torts book i don't know what i should do.
I feel like Bandcamp is also more geared towards artists. When I discover new music on Bandcamp, I see the custom-designed artist pages and make a connection between the music and the artist while on Spotify and YouTube it feels more like going from song to song, but not focusing on artists separately (which is not necessarily a bad thing, but I personally prefer the former)
Any recommendations for an iPad + Pencil vector app? This app has a note that an iOS app is coming soon, wondering if anyone has any existing apps they like.
> What's crazy about this whole controversy is that HN is usually skeptical towards college anyway.

I've always thought of them as a loud minority and, to be fair, they're not wrong: a lot of web jobs, even well paid ones, really don't require that much education or even much in the way of cognitive acuity.

The people who actually need to use their college education, the FAANG folks and people in other cutting edge tech jobs, don't bother to be vocal about it.
I disagree that this is, per se, a violation of due process

As long as the matches are not being used as evidence on trials or as evidence to get warrants, the police can generate their list of leads by consulting a hamster, or by taking names out of a hat. Right? Or is there/should there be a right to not be considered a suspect on foolish motives?

Also, maybe these techniques are useful, in the sense that they allow for police to use a bad image to reduce a pool of suspects to a manageable pile that can be examined by hand.

I also switched to mandatory clang-format for a big C project of mine last month. Just the PR hooks and linter integration into github not yet. Saves away a full round of nit picking.
What I'm trying to fight is this trope: "If you are in favor of A, then you must also favor X", where X is something almost-but-not-quite-completely different from A. (That's why I picked X instead of B.)

And that's usually the end of the comment. There's no explanation of why X and A are like each other in any way that matters. There's no conclusion, like either "Since I presume you're not in favor of X, you can't consistently be in favor of A either", or the opposite, "Since you're in favor of A, you really ought to reconsider your position on X".

What there is, though, is what feels to me like an attempt to put words in the other person's mouth. This feels to me like a step beyond whataboutism. It's not just "what about X", it's "You must also agree that X is true".

I've been seeing this pattern increasingly over the last 6 to 12 months. (Alternately, I've become more sensitive to this pattern in the same time.) I consider it to be... let's just say it's not a positive contribution to the discussion.

So: How should one respond to this? Flag every instance? Ignore? Simply respond "Non sequitur" and leave it at that?

You don't like how I responded. Fine; you have the right. But what do you think I should do instead?

While the actual analog sounds may indeed have a higher signal to noise ratio than 96db, most ADCs haven't, i.e. for most digital recordings 16bit should be more than enough.
Pure Speculation, judging from the slight delay ( 1Q ) in EPYC 2 introduction, my guess is that AMD wants the launch and fulfil all the demand of the big cloud provider ( AWS, Azure and Google ) while still have enough Chips for the rest of the market. The worst thing could happen is AMD announced their EPYC 2 and AWS getting all the stock with little left for other Channels.

I have high expectation but I trust Dr Lisa Su and her executive team. And Intel is currently having a new low in my book.

I do agree that coming up with them by hand and designing puzzles with intent and possibly a theme is still probably for the best, but I think a hybrid approach, where you can use these generators to help give you ideas or starting points or fill in some gaps can be useful.

The accuracy of estimating sleep stages using heart rate and movement metrics is an interesting, and tenuous, subject. WRT to Fitbit and Oura the TLDR is that Fitbit and Oura aren’t accurate for slow wave (Deep Sleep) or REM. However, Fitbit is better at REM detection [1][2] than Oura.

While sleep staging can be useful for identifying case sleep disorders, we know that the brain self-optimizes the stages of sleep you go through.

So, what’s far more important than worrying about your rem or deep is optimizing getting time in any stage of sleep. Each stage is critical in a different way.

If you care about improving your performance the measures you should care about—backed by strong scientific consensus and a plurality of randomized evidence—are sleep debt and where you are in your circadian rhythm. Sleep scientists call this the two factor model

This reality drove us to create a sleep improvement app, called Rise ([https://www.risescience.com](https://www.risescience.com/)). We started both our research and company initially for elite athletes. We tell them what to do to improve their sleep tonight based on science. It's currently being used by both professional and collegiate teams across the NFL, MLB, NBA, MLS, and NCAAF.

We've been taking what we've learned from athletes and adapting for us regular folk.
