Lambda School is in the quality education space. I think lots of viable private companies could be in the more affordable housing, accurate news, or livable environment spaces.
I'm normally not a fan of responding like this, but here goes: If you really do not know these things that is of course perfectly acceptable, but if they truly interested you you could very easily find the information about this out there. After all, it is knowledge you get in any highschool curriculum that even smells faintly of technical information. Given that you do not yet have this (as you miss other, related knowledge), giving you a good response that doesn't involve a lot of theory is very hard. Certainly a response that makes you aware of the nuances in this subject would involve some study.

If that does not scare you, I invite you to take a look at a place like this: https://www.khanacademy.org/science/electrical-engineering/e...

and study some of the source material.
As the article says, Amazon spent _years_ trying this approach and ultimately failed with their phone project.

So sure it's possible, but it's not as easy as you perhaps think?
Older circuit designs generated a lot more RF noise, particularly power supplies.

Thought your comment on helicopter rides to the summit of Everest was interesting so I looked it up, only 1 person has ever achieved it (twice) and set the world record in doing so:

In an ideal world yes - but in some situations its just not practical. For example, I once worked on a (large) project for a company I worked for where we were the customer and developers were out-sourced about four levels deep - they weren't even clear as to who the top level customer was let alone what the user journey was.
After this fiasco, I'm more than ever willing to change to Huawei. Best yet if they change to a platform not based on Android. I'm done with Google (and Android soon) in every possible way.

> I'll take the world where I can direct my funds to the projects I like, thanks.

Sure. And the government decides how many funds you direct to them to prevent freeloading. Basically Flattr, but mandatory.

> The price mechanism strictly dominates central planning in terms of welfare generation. This has been proven over and over again.

Interesting. Can you direct me to that proof? I'd love to see the math. I do know that there is empirical evidence that a dictatorship making 4 year plans does not generate much welfare if it has, at best, 1980s computing power available that is not sufficient to finish even a simplified plan within 4 years.

So you really shouldn't put people in charge whose ideology revolves around creating a planned economy as opposed to something reasonable like freedom, solidarity and democracy (including public ownership of the means of production).
We floated this idea at our company and people were against it. A lot of people seem to like the predictability of coming to the same place every day and hanging out with the same people every day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Instead, we now allow working from home whenever anyone wants to - some people do it frequently, some don't. So maybe asking the question is good, but I'm not sure everyone would like it if such a move were mandated.
Asturias is fascinating, and, as you said, does not conform to stereotypes about Spain at all. Except, well, the food is as delicious as elsewhere in Spain :-)
Track events in modern cloud applications
I'd say it's the most common way that it's said in Australia.
Stationary Starlink antennas will already need to handle aiming at around one degree per second just because of how quickly a satellite directly overhead will move. So the roll of a sailboat in a marina should be no problem at all, and maintaining a connection while underway is probably doable without much redesign.

And that's assuming there's any difficulty to aiming. Phased array radars have shown that merely sweeping the beam around in a predetermined pattern can be very quick. I don't know how much harder it would be to adjust that based on input from gyros.
Had an acquaintance with a masters in electrical engineering from a prestigious university and worked as a senior research engineer at the R&D labs of a well known cutting edge electronics firm. And I've lost count of the number of weird cults and MLM schemes he's been suckered into.
For example, let's assume you live in Brunei where homosexuality is a capital crime. Facial-recognition (especially in concert with other pattern-recognition software) drastically reduces the man-power necessary to identify individuals for enforcement.

If you're talking to someone who's more conservatively inclined I'd talk about how Iceland has managed to basically eliminate Down Syndrome. Prenatal pattern recognition has successfully convinced nearly all Icelandic parents who have a pregnancy where the child may have Down Syndrome to abort.

If your listener doesn't care about gay rights AND thinks any fetus with a higher likelihood of having Down Syndrome should be aborted, then they're probably exactly the sort of people working on or hoping to use these tools.
>Jack Marks, who manages Panasonic’s public-safety products, called it “short-sighted and reactive”. The technology exists, he said; “the best thing you can do is help shape it.”

Of course it’s propaganda the shocking thing is not that they are pushing for a China is bad story. It’s that they pretended it was not happening for the last decades eroding industries and blue collar jobs putting us in today’s situation where a totalitarian state governs most electronics manufacturing of the world including most of the supply chain.
I’m a publishing apps on F-Droid myself, so I’m speaking from experience there.

Right now I’ve spent months on getting a full clean-room reversed version of Google’s Firebase Cloud Messaging system’s client library working, and we’re still nowhere close to that.

The final goal being that we can have one, fully GPL app, which can utilize FCM if it’s installed on the phone, either through the proprietary Google Play Services, or through microG, but which can also work without it otherwise (while also avoiding any tracking or telemetry)

And trust me if I say Google’s making this for us devs harder with every update.
What ad hominem? That Java ecosystem is wholly dependent on crazy amount of magic is not a personal attack, really, but a mere sad admission.
I'm not sure that's the case. Studies seem to suggest that average people have relatively little control over the government compared to corporations and interest groups.

In terms of voter turnout: I think the problem is that voter turnout doesn't happen in a vacuums. We have the voter turnout that we do due to a combination of societal factors, practical factors, current events, etc. That's not to say that it cannot be effected, but I think there's sort of a catch 22: In order to have power people need to increase voter turnout, but in order to increase voter turnout people need to have power.

In terms of your second point (i.e. "...need to consider why your candidates never win...). I think you make a good point, especially in situations where one side or the other refuses to engage in the diplomacy necessary to find a mutually acceptable solution.

However, it also seems to me that a free society would require that people be able to find a situation where they can live in accordance with their views without having to make them acceptable to a plurality of society (I'm excluding "core" social norms such as not stealing and outlawing slavery which everyone would need to agree to). It seems to me that a combination of factors makes it so that is no longer the case:

The increasing power of state and federal governments

The increasing globalization of the issues that affect people's lives

The fact that the United States has diverged into at least three different cultures (in a VERY broad sense coastal, southern, and everyone else)

This seems especially true outside of the largest cities and states. California, Texas, New York City, etc. can have very distinct political/societal systems because they are so large, but I'm not sure I think that's the case for smaller cities and states.

I'm not sure what the solution to this is other than that I don't think its fair to just say "The majority has spoken, if you don't like it leave" now that it's not really possible to leave. (I'm not saying that's what you are trying to communicate. I'm just speaking in general)
The cabin is interesting. There doesn't seem to be much visibility through the windows. I guess at such speeds the driver can only rely on information feeds from far up ahead, and there's little advantage to being able to see with the naked eye. Large windows would probably make it less safe in the event of flying debris too.

It makes me wonder why not get rid of them all together and make the cabin like a tank. To get some sunlight perhaps?
The headline is accurate.

In the scientific community, High-Tc superconductors typically refer to Type II superconductors, eg cuprates. And the “High-Tc” term means above temperatures relative to the usual elemental superconductor Tc’s, eg about 20K or so.

Materials that can superconduct above 77K are especially sought after since they can be cooled with only liquid nitrogen, much cheaper and abundant than liquid helium.
Is it really deterministic mapping from input to output, for given configuration options? I imagine you can build different algorithms that choose what data can be removed, with different tradeoffs between encoding time, decoding time, memory consumption, output file size and experience of quality.

As he said he was green, I think this really shows that early on, young developers do not always understand the importance of requirements gathering and problem understanding.

Just yesterday, a junior developer from my team came to me about a request to generate some output from historical data. I went back to the business side and determined it was just a simple switch of several columns in the input data to get the results.

My junior developer at first thought it was some monumental problem that was going to require a lot of work.
How did it compare to BART? I haven't had the pleasure of experiencing anything else yet.
Yes, microG exists and is amazing — but even it is only replacing an absolutely tiny part of the APIs, and even those it can’t replace fully yet and a lot of work is still to be done.

I remember days when Android was still open, nowadays I’m fighting against the ever-increasing restrictions with my open source apps with every single OS update.
I'm burnout and have been questioning myself after 2 years servicing clients in the company I'm in if I'm good enough for other roles (using as example) promoted in HackerNews, or whatever job portal.

When I spend so much time idling by and letting that frustration build up... I just start questioning if I'll be able to do other roles and not fail the team or whatever company I'll be working for because of how dormant I am.

It's not like I knew a lot. I don't consider myself to be super talented, just the average guy trying to make it out there but yea... I need to look into moving on.
What Number of Kids Makes Parents Happiest?

> Better processors can help with autofocus, noise reduction etc, and that obviously helps the end result.

These processors could be put into bigger camera's too I imagine.
Assuming Starlink is cheaper per bandwidth than terrestrial fibre and 5G. As long as we don't see Starlink pricing, and more importantly cost, there is no way to tell.
Free depends on the context. These electrons are in a potential well, they're in a bound state. Actual atoms are just an example of that. My point was that conceptually both situations are alike, as they are bound states you get discrete spectra (roughly speaking), if they were free particles you wouldn't. (Maybe those levels happen to be very close, but that's a different story. In principle the artificial atom name makes sense and talking about orbitals is not a bad analogy.)

At these high velocities air resistance becomes a huge problem, making it impracticable. Wasn't this the main reason for putting very fast trains through evacuated tubes, my copy of the Usborne Book of the Future had this in seventies. Although Musk had a go at reviving it, the ideas Hyperloop has been based on have been around for ages.
People don't make decisions in a vacuum. Their choices are dramatically controlled by the information that they receive and their culture. The media has a large influence on both of these factors, therefore they have a large amount of de facto control over the government even if they don't have direct control over government.
But what about when it has been tested and proven that people cannot discern the difference? I don't know if this is what was done with the per-title encoding that the parent comment was referring to, but I know it is the situation with audio. So many audiophiles swear they can hear a difference between FLAC and high quality VBR MP3, but it has been repeatedly demonstrated that, when presented with both, humans cannot distinguish them better than chance.
xkcd's comic from two days ago [1] is about the effects of high altitude. I ended up curious about populations at different altitudes and began reading about cultures with different genetic adaptations, especially Sherpas. It seems that freshly published material on the topic is popping up everywhere now. Youtube recommended a video to me titled "How People Have Evolved to Live in the Clouds" [2] which was published yesterday.

Is this a coincidence? Are all of these creators subconsciously inspired by the same source? Maybe there's a new TV show about Everest that I'm not aware of that's influencing interest in the topic. Maybe Everest related articles are frequently on HN and I am just now paying attention to it. Am I being played by the algorithm gods?

Baader–Meinhof effect is a convincing illusion.

You do not own Mount Everest, you have no right to it. I don't know why you think this, but that is delusional. You can go there because the Nepal allows it, but it is in no way your "right" to do so. Becoming an adult is recognizing you cannot do every thing that pleases you.

Besides, I was speaking in a moral sense, not a legal sense. What your rights are is not a relevant question. If preserving natural wonders is not a moral prerogative for you, then we're just going to have to disagree on that point.
> IMHO the 8-bit Ataris were a lot more innovative than the Commodore 8-bitters (including the C64), despite being a couple years earlier to market. ... The 8-bit Ataris were the actual predecessor to the Commodore Amiga (not surprising, because the same people who designed the Atari later designed the Amiga).

Indeed. While the closest thing to a true successor to the Commodore 64 and 128 (ignoring the unreleased "Commodore 65") in the "16-bit" era was the Atari ST, which like the C64 was optimized for low cost.
If your workflows don't bog down your servers, add big data technologies until they do!
There are lawsuits involving the issue, as another comment reports. Jumping to ''big propaganda'' is unwarranted.
Thanks. I might look into replacing my Nikon D5000 at some point. Low-light photography is one of the only things that I sometimes wish it could do better.

From an environmental standpoint I would prefer if tourists stick to Everest and its well trodden path. It has decent infrastructure and confines the the strewn dead bodies, trash and tourists to one place.

> Sometimes, bruxism triggered by MDMA can become chronic, Chandwani adds. He had one patient who grinded her teeth for two years after using MDMA just once.

Edit: to clarify I got awake bruxism while on the influence of the substance (this is normal) and nocturnal bruxism for one year after that. I wasn't able to chew in the morning because of the toothache.

yeah, that's exactly what I mean! Fresh produce origins matter and so does handling and care!
One thing that always fascinated me is that in constrained mediums like doodles (the constraint being time spent on it and the reliance on lines), there still are hints so as to the artist being professional.

The doodle of King, who is not a visual artist, is just incomparable to the one of Cocteau, who did work in film and visual arts. There's something charming to both of them, but the way trained artists can make even the shoddiest of their work beautiful to look at is something I am quite envious about.

Disclaimer: My doodles are shit.
I tried spacemacs, but found the documentation to be lacking, and the "everything and the kitchen sink" approach lead to some slow behavior. Right now I'm trying emacs+evil, and slowly building it up with features I like. I still have to be careful about enabling the wrong feature and slowing things down though.
You seem like me a bit. I also wanted app like this to track and improve habits. Habitica, while interesting, just took too much time and effort. I've since started using 'Loop habit tracker' for about a year now and I prefer it's simplicity much more.

I always carry a note book with me. It has my plan for the day (https://medium.com/@kristiandupont/high-resolution-planning-...), random notes and random doodles. I got into it after purchasing an old copy of Thinking With A Pencil (https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Pencil-Henning-Nelms/dp/1626...) which I think was a recommendation from some thread in here.

I am not sure what it does for me, but I've been quite consistent for well over a year now and I do find all my old note books are quite fun to scan through.
> it might become more interesting to dig long tunnels under cities for these trains rather than increasing the train's maximum speed.

That’s actually part of what the Stuttgart 21 project is doing, and why it’s so expensive (it’s not just a train station): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuttgart_21

They’re building several massive tunnels below the city and through the surrounding mountains to put the entire station and all rails underground, which also improves travel times on the Paris—Vienna magistrale.

Being one of the first major projects of that kind in Germany, it has to deal with massive budget overruns and delays.
For every new terminal I test if they can handle tricky unicode or locking escape sequences.

I tried right now the kitty terminal available on Debian Buster, and echo -e "\033(0" still requires to reset the terminal (don't paste the above in your working session if you can't type reset without visual feedback).

P.S. still using Gnome-terminal that it doesn't handle locking escapes... ^__^;
A consequence of the time we live in. Some people have more money for such activities, so the activities become more crowded.

This will self-correct after a while. During the next global downturn the lines will disappear.
Not a codec expert, but I can see two reasons. The first is that some fields in the encoding are not big enough, for instance a 12-bit field for the resolution in some header can represent only up to 4095 pixels (or 4096 if "zero pixels" is not allowed). The second is that all video codecs I know of subdivide the image into small blocks and compress each block individually (mostly; there's some prediction from nearby blocks, and some mixing of the blocks at the end to smooth the edges between them), and older codecs only have blocks which are too small for higher resolutions (imagine for instance a 8x8 block in a 320x240 video, and then in the same video at 1280x960; the block clearly covers much less of the later video, so there's less variation for it to work with. Increase the resolution too much, and small blocks would start acting more like individual pixels, and you'd lose nearly all the compression.)
Courts indeed interpret it strictly. They use two criteria:

1. The mark has to be used in a commercial setting

2. The mark has to enjoy a reputation within that sector of the market

3. The mark has to have distinctive character

Problematic is usually the second one. It is interpreted by the Federal Supreme Court that (bearing exceptional circumstances) at least 50% of participants in the market have to recognize the mark. The more generic the mark is, the higher the threshold.
