It is, to a degree. However, given the intentionally lose definition of it, the interpretation of this topic is up to the individual and the group.

The BBC piece explicitly mentions this - with almost no ties to politics and an open door policy for all people - but I am aware that other groups are not as open. This cannot, however, be generalized.

Some folks do hold the believe that people with a different heritage should follow their own culture's roots, which often results in a very similar line of thoughts an beliefs, yet differs in customs, names, rituals ..., but ultimately leads to the same guiding principles. I personally don't agree, given our modern societies, but it can be regarded as a valid thought that is not driven by racism, but merely by the guiding idea of remembering the old ways, regardless of where those might be rooted.

Jesse Byock's translation of Snorri's Edda touches on the historical aspect of this in the prologue as well as his annotations. It's a great read if you are interested.

I think that style of management is just fine if it's stated as "Don't bring me a problem unless you have a proposed solution." By proposing a solution it starts a conversation about how to resolve the stated problem. Often times someone will just complain (rightly or wrongly) about an issue and then everyone just kind of stares at the floor for 5 seconds and then moves on.

I do not understand your question: a set is infinite if and only if there is a bijection between it and one of its strict subsets.

As formal as it gets.

Edit: (not intending to be harsh, just that I probably lack some context to properly understand what you are asking).
I think it can be a fairly reasonable viewpoint; there are many systems where "downturn" type events are good for the system as a whole and also disproportionally good to some members. A natural forest fire is good for the forest from time to time, good for certain well established individual trees, and good for future generations but of course terrible for those trees that get culled out.

I'm no professional diver, but did a bunch of dives between 60-100ft, and it seems like it can start happening to me around 70-80ft. Experienced divers will be more conscious about when it happens to them, and will plan their actions accordingly.

It's pretty eerie. It's _literally_ like being drunk, but you happen to be strapped to an oxygen tank with 100ft of water over your head, and could get extremely sick if you did something too stupid.

It's actually a pretty safe activity, given you follow safety rules. It's however pretty easy to stray from them.

Agreed. This article is frustrating because, while yes I do in general like black text on white background, I definitely do not when the background emits hot white light into my eyes.

Strangely, the same can be true for plain old fashioned paper. The other day I was outside and had to look at a paper. Plain, white printed paper with black text. The bright hot sun reflected off of the paper and I couldn't see anything. A darker shaded advertisement however was easy to read.

So it's all relative. In my case I just prefer not to feel bright light blinding me, so I spend most of my time in dark mode editors/etc. My biggest complaint is that websites don't let me choose. I really wish OSs would start enforcing full dark or light modes as an accessibility feature. As I wright this, my HN screen is quite bright. I frequently flip between my dark editor and my bright Slack work screen. Those bright flips kill me.

I adore how every other race on the planet is allowed to have an ethnic identity except for white people. White people can no longer do anything without being accused of racism. It's okay for blacks to be racist against whites, which happens constantly every day and the media gives them a free pass because certain kinds of violence are somehow fashionable.

Use relative font-sizes if you must on board names to make them larger, but it's probably not necessary. For the menus, leave them at the default font size or make them _slightly_ smaller.
One interesting idea I've heard is to, instead of saying "vaccines dont cause autism", say "shots save lives." Move the argument away from the invented battleground into the real one and focus on associating vaccines and saving lives instead of vaccines and autism.

Regardless of the ethics of this approach (I don't even want to touch that part), continuously charging back has a number of ways that can ultimately hurt you:

1. If you run this scheme enough and your credit card company flags your account for excessive chargebacks, you could very well have that card shut down and take a credit hit along with it.
2. More and more companies implement against (effectively) data brokers who are going to tie your chargeback history into a risk score. This very product from Stripe is absolutely going to score risky behavior in part based on past chargeback history.

What's easier & takes less time now is not a guarantee on something being a net good decision, so other people should think twice before going with a scheme like this.

From what I've read of it the mauritian government didn't really want to sell but the British implied strongly that it would be a pre-requisite for them gaining their independence...

To quote a british official (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chagos_Archipelago_sovereignty...)

"in theory, there were a number of possibilities. The Premier and his colleagues could return to Mauritius either with Independence or without it. On the Defence point, Diego Garcia could either be detached by order in Council or with the agreement of the Premier and his colleagues. The best solution of all might be Independence and detachment by agreement, although he could not of course commit the Colonial Secretary at this point. "

They aren't harming netflix yet, because even with a captive audience, the offering isn't good enough to make people feel like they don't also need netflix. I'd be very surprised if there hasn't been significant harm to second tier services though - people might want to supplement netflix with something, but if they already have amazon prime, they're probably a lot less likely to supplement it with now tv, Hulu, etc
You are right that you can build up resistance to boredom by reducing entertainment.

I gained a ton after sitting through family dinners at my SO parents and grand parents. Initially I was bored out of my mind. Gradually I adapted and suffered less and less.

But I don't see it as something positive. I feel like it broke my mind in some way. It replaced frantically struggling against boredom with nearly catathonic apathy.

It feels more like a learned helplessness than improvement.

FWIW - The Nest lock in question doesn't rely on an active internet connection to work. If it can't connect, it can still be unlocked using the sets of PINs you can setup for individual users (including setting start/end times and time of day that the codes are active). There's even a set of 9V battery terminals at the bottom in case you forget to change the batteries that power the lock.

This does mean you need to setup a code in advance of people showing up, but it's an under 30 second setup that I've found simpler than unlocking once someone shows up. The cameras dropping offline are a hot mess though, since those have no local storage option.

Also, there are many types of hikikomori. Some have no family support or live with them.

I know one who lives in an internet cafe, alone, and has for years. The staff told me she avoids everyone as if they were toxic poison. Only comes out at night for bathroom trips / snacks and she will run back into the cubicle if anyone's in the hall when she comes out. It's been three years now. In a cubicle. Leaves the payments near the drink section in an envelope always at the same time of night. Doesn't even use the cubicle computer, she works out of her smartphone. ( Our company actually hired her for a while. ) Most employees do not even know what she looks like, I certainly don't. She's adamant that she wants to live like this.

The son of a friend has been in his room for the last ten years. Does nothing all day. Tried to kill himself several times. Their life is an absolute nightmare.

Etc. There's no one-size-fits-all, and in some cases I don't know if mental illness has anything to do with it.

Edit : Our next door neighbour, as far as I know, has not been out of his one room apartment in at least 8 years. He's old ( 80s ? ) and a couple of volunteers check on him once a week and bring him food, otherwise he'd be dead already. We tried to talk to him once and were told not to do so as he could turn violent, "he's a hikikomori"... It took a while to find volunteers to help him out that he would not attack, apparently. I mean, the list is awfully long. I could go on and on.

Next week I'm taking a 5 hour train journey rather than flying. When I figure in the time to get to the airport, the waiting in the lounge, baggage retrieval, etc. then flying doesn't save much time.

@gus_massa, thanks for your feedback.

we do not pre-select the target because we want to know what people are interested the most in (their privacy or the privacy implications of their acts for others); we ask that in the survey

you cannot add your grandparents without adding your parents.

the case of divorced persons is very relevant indeed. our evaluation tool can handle it but not the UI (yet). we mention it in the FAQ.

we understand that the lack of option for LGBT marriage can be frustrating. yet, since the tool focuses on kinship and not on filiation, we let users specify birth parents only.

the survey is automatic (it triggers after some criteria are met including time and tests of the tool). we understand the inconvenience but it is very important for us to collect feedback to help people protect their privacy in an optimal way and reach out to an audience as broad as possible.

thanks again for taking the time to try the tool and give feedback!

I thought that Get Out and Us had at least some Hollywood funding, looks like I was wrong. For example “Cape Fear” and “The Fugitive” made in the early ‘90s were pure Hollywood movies that were interesting for grown-ups, too, I fail to see something like that filmed nowadays (both of them were remakes, too, proof that you can film a remake and still produce an interesting movie after all). I also miss smart action-oriented/thriller movies like “Enemy of the State”.

MFA does not mean no sharing. It is trivial to setup up multiple credentials for the same account. You can easily have two different fingerprints setup as 2FA from two different devices for the same account. Most services let you have backup codes and dongles already. This is mostly an issue of education. We already see a lot of these kinds of other factors like sending a message to device 1 when provisioning device 2.
> It will probably not supplant easy super popular languages like python. But I believe it might find it's niche.

Yea, I definitely don't think it'll ever be as hugely mainstream as "easy" languages - take Go for instance, but it has huge potential and I'm a big fan of the language (I've switched entirely to it).

It may be possible that another language can come up with a more elegant solution for the memory safety features of Rust, but until that happens I think Rust will gain a lot of ground. It just won't be the language people turn to unless they have a use case explicitly for Rust (or rather, something that disqualifies Go/Python/etc to them).

Very nice writeup!

Although I’ve noticed that it’s written in C. I would suggest educational materials to be written in Rust, unless the topic is very low-level optimization.

That way you can be sure that even if some novice blindly copies your example code, it won’t cause any security issues, thus saving you from the liability :)

The liquid should be able to hold less gas at higher temperatures, yes.

What you observe with boiling water though is not solved gases leaving the water but actually water turning into steam. Steam is exactly the same stuff as water, just a lot less dense.

Actually if you increase temperature and pressure enough, there will be a point at which it makes no sense to differentiate between water and steam anymore [1]! Which is a fun thing: you can turn water into steam without boiling it. Raise the temperature and pressure enough while keeping it liquid, reduce temperature while keeping the pressure up and then reduce the pressure as far as you like, as long as it doesn't make the water condensate.

Voilà, steam without boiling!

What is happening there is taking a detour around the critical point instead of crossing the blue line (which is where water boils) in the following graphic[0]:

The US economy hasn't grown much, adjusted for inflation, compared to the world economy. That's primarily because of the rest of the world was much poorer.

And your numbers are not accurate, I think. Inflation from 1950 to the present day has been 900% if this site is to be believed: http://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1950?amount=100

So the 50 cent cinema ticket from back then would be 5 dollars now and instead it's around 9 dollars. Double, but not 18x.
True boredom seems to be something that we learn over the years. Watching my 3y old daughter she never seems to get bored. If shes not entertained and realizes she won't get entertained anytime soon she starts singing (improving songs with her own text ;), telling herself stories that evolve while shes talking, exploring things that are around her. She grabs everyday things and looks what she is able to do with them and what the charecteristic of the object is. She knocks it on the table, sees if she can bend it, if they can be stacked etc. Shes not looking at them for what she learned they are, but what she can do with them. I often caught myself when I wanted to say "that won't work or that's not how it is used" just to see her doing something wonderful or funny or stupid.. She does that to not be bored. Getting creative is a wonderful smartphone replacement.
