Normally this would make everyone stop uploading photos to facebook. But most have already.

My facebook usuage has gone from every second to maybe once a day. There is a rot happening and this will become a dangerous time for anyone who used facebook as facebook will slowly sell them out and in the end exort them. Want to keep these photos private you uploaded 10 years ago and deleted? Pay..
And yet study after study, not only in humans but in many animals describe the female sex to be the choosy one and the males to heavily compete (even in mortal combat) for a chance for sex.

And yeah we are not antelopes, we are big apes.
How else do you recommend to independently establish a verifiable identity if not with PGP?
Not a physicist, but in my mind the basic obstacle to superdeterminism is that in the initial state at t=0 you have O(S) degrees of freedom but throughout some chunk of spacetime there will be O(S * T) Bell violations (where 'S' is "amount of space" and 'T' is "amount of time"). The degrees of freedom you get is fixed, but the constraints grow with time; the system is asymptotically overconstrained. So at first glance you'd guess "no superdeterministic solution exists".

If a solution did exist, it would probably be because of some convenient symmetry or law w.r.t. how the Bell violations played out. But you can use the behavior of arbitrary computer programs to trigger Bell tests, and computer programs are not a well behaved sort of thing. So that makes it seem unlikely for a set of O(S*T) Bell violations out in the world to follow a well behaved pattern that could be compressed into O(S) bits. Like, suppose I decide to dovetail through all computer programs, running a Bell test every time one of the programs halts. This would appear to force the initial state to encode information about solutions to the Halting problem, without the benefit of encoding it into a process that executes over time. But the Halting sequence is algorithmically random; incompressible...
You're right. You can live on that amount, perhaps well depending on how and where you situate yourself. It's basically middle-income. How far that income will get you in a place like San Francisco, Los Angeles, or New York is another thing.
Ok, we've replaced 'loophole' with the name of the thing above.
Elsevier requires that authors do not do that - they can only provide copies of their papers in response to requests.
When you join the company needs to be valued less than $50 million (by the article), the price of the actual stock doesn't matter.

“Unset” is an extremely valuable state to be able to check. It’s why we have null/nil in well-designed languages. The zero value of a golang int is not the same as indicating a lack of presence. There are plenty of scenarios where “unset” is a necessary state vs the zero value.
I agree that office has a nice granularity there, but the UI is not very good. People don't understand that they have to share a specific link to a document and they can't just copy & paste the address of the page they are seeing ... Link shared -> "don't have permission" -> sender replies confused that the link works for him is an exchange I have seen way too many times.
Classic New York Times. Explicit tax law = "loophole" if the NYT doesn't like the people who follow that particular explicit tax law.
I skimmed it. It's not a particularly compelling piece, but research supports the idea that praising kids for "being smart" is inherently problematic.

Furthermore, she's a woman in a man's world. Women tend to spend a great deal of their time performing unpaid labor in the form of raising children and running the household -- aka "women's work." This creates myriad problems in them trying to establish a public reputation.

I was a military wife and homeschooling mom for a lot of years. I've really struggled to create some kind of public reputation that will lead to adequate financial compensation, so it's a problem space I know a lot about. Women are constantly put in a double bind when it comes to trying to claim their competence, establish a public life, etc.
I would also leave out "despite my best efforts". That makes OP sounds like they have a hero complex, as if they could have single-handedly saved the startup somehow. If the founders are driving it into the ground there's nothing the employees can do, and it's best not to come across as deluded about that.
Yes, and they match the definiton of growth stocks as far as I can see. Saying that to invest in "value" (as opposed to "growth") you invest in growth companies like AMZN is quite confusing to me :-)

You could have a large capture cavity initialy that has various rods of materials that would sympathise with certain frequency ranges. Those rods run into their own chamber's - seperating the frequencies.

Problem is with voice, it's the cadence, content and variations in the tones that help discern an individual. For that you need to factor in a variable amount of past data as you can't just take a snapshot - think taking a picture of a single frame in a movie and knowing what the entire movie is about.

However, you could make something that needs a certain set of frequencies, so with that something that could identify males or females by the sound of the voice and the general rule of male voices being lower in frequency. That would be a start. Though even that simple task, you start to see exceptions.

But if you can flowchart it and have ways to handle the logic, who knows what is possible and impossible.
Thank you, this is very helpful for me.
Berkeley Life Sciences Research
It’s more a misleading than a false statement. The Apollo guidance computer was one of the first computers to use integrated circuits. But, several much earlier examples exist such as the minute man ICBM in 1962.

So, sort of but not really. NASA has associated the space race with all kinds of tech advancements. But, tight deadlines has meant the focus was less on research than integrating existing technology that was at worst almost ready for use. We had existing huge rockets, they kept scaling them even more.

In the end the majority of this stuff is mostly PR. Much like how research papers include hand wavy this is good for X, Y, and Z sort of if you squint.
The 1998-2011 gap has made a lot of damage to c++ in term of "market share". I think it's necessary to avoid something similar happen again.
"They" do everything they can to keep house prices from falling because of the expectation that houses keep increasing in value and are a good investment for your average citizen. Anything short of steadily increasing prices and people tend to lose their cushy government jobs.
Is there any geographical clustering? The article mentioned Colorado GBS cases, but I could not find any mentioning of AFM one. If this happens mostly during the hot season and some insect vectors are suspected, I'd expect to see some concentration around hot and humid areas.
From my own experience maintaining legacy systems and then re-implementing them — strive for a system that future maintainers will be able to refactor instead of wanting to replace it, whatever that entails. Even if all of what you write will be refactored away, you've accomplished something if they're able to continue using the code base in some form.

To clarify, Elsevier is unhappy that they aren't allowed to profit off of other peoples work.

1. It costs money to submit to Nature, Cell, Science, etc

2. Reviewers for journals are not paid

3. It then costs money to read the published papers

4. The journals are filled with ads

Literally the entire thing is profit for Elsevier, they are paid by the people who do the original work, they don't pay for any of the vetting and review that Elsevier claims you're paying for, and then you have to pay to read the published papers. And get through all of the ads.

Elsevier is a company that steals from the public.
This is very easy.

Q. Why did you leave?

"The startup ran out of money."

Q. Was that you fault?

"I had no financial responsibilities in the company."

Now, if you did, that gets tougher...
Show HN: Incubator as a Service – we build, launch and test your employees ideas
I've been wanting to experiment with this for a while. It's a subscription service for companies that want to utilise the new product or service ideas their employees come up with.

With a fixed fee of $7500/mo, we'll basically work on up to 2 different ideas at the same time of your employees. This includes:

- Designing & Building an MVP
- Validating the idea and get early signups
- Talk to early beta testers and gather feedback
- Keep the original team/employee in the loop and have him/her participate into guiding the product further.

When you decide the idea is ready for the next phase, you can build your own internal team or do so with our help.

Interested, contact is in my bio
Interface Builder's Alternative Lisp Timeline
I agree to an extent, but it is a complex comparison to make, so it can easily look that way.

Our brain creates a model of the surroundings based solely on memorized bits of the environment (allowing us to blink without the world going dark, and to track things in our peripheral views) plus prediction, which is something Atari exploits so we can convince ourselves the bars and dot have motion. We even temporarily convince ourselves that the blooping is the sound of impact.

A long way to say that our sensors don't send complete objects like an OOP function would. Instead, they transmit just enough info (hints, maybe) to refresh the mental model. Similar to how we can see 4 dots and mentally translate it into a square laying in some particular direction in 3D space, even without lines or actually being 3D.

The "bit" analogy breaks down when you consider this aspect. The data our brain works with isn't the same as the data a computer works with.
Anything could happen. For example I could end up homeless.

Economists would argue that it is impossible to pickup a $20 from the ground. After all if it was truly a free $20 sitting on the ground then someone else must already picked it up. Thus any $20 sitting on the ground you see must instead be trap.

Part of my growing up has been to realize that sometimes that person picking up the $20 can be yourself. That perfect competition is a theory, and that the world is in fact always far away from that theory. Businesses can survive despite large in-perfections.

Trying to apply efficient market thesis to justify ignoring fundamentals while implicitly claiming growth is not efficiently priced is itself silly. To assume growth is being under priced during an era when all the hype and public attention goes to growth companies is silly.

Boring companies with strong fundamentals and good prices are the vehicles which will preserve wealth and return it to shareholders year in year out. The silly pumps into silly growth companies is the exact behavior marking the end times of a boom cycle.
How about a combination of

- universal basic income at a really basic subsidence level

- voluntary patronage

Alternatively, releasing new features every 3 years to an already-bloated language could cause even worse damage.
There are two rational justification for the (seemingly) persistent value factor:

1. It’s just a risk premium. The efficient market hypothesis says that all risk adjusted returns are the same. i.e there is only one Sharpe ratio. Or put another way, there is no excess return without commensurate risk. Using this model, value out performs because of the increased riskiness of the investment. Reward for bearing risk is absolutely persistent so if this first reason is true, it should be persistent forever.

2. Behavioral bias. If this is true, people will wise up and the eventual equilibrium will price value fairly at some point.

Either way, value shouldn’t be able to juice your Sharpe ratio forever. Either the first one is true and the Sharpe ratio is unaffected (just the mean returns, which don’t really matter unless you are unable to access leverage), or value is in fact not persistent, because no behavioral bias can ever be persistent, a priori.

I’m not sure what the answer is, but value alone isn’t worth very much. AQR and other funds usually pair it with factors that have a negative correlation, such as momentum. This allows them to capture significant excess returns, compared to value alone.
Peeing simulations under UV light reveal true extent of urination splashback
Yeah, this is an area I've thought about a lot. I've designed an inverse closed loop anti-UBI concept. I haven't had the time to launch it. Basically charities (to start) list tasks that pay credits, business register to accept credits (like a promotion or advertising spend), volunteers earn credits from the charities and spend them at participating business. The businesses then donate the credits back to the charity of their choice. The system is closed loop and non designed to be fungible. You can read more about it here http://www.thegoodloop.org
Capacitor 2.0 should fix the XSS issue that Cordova has always had, and split the code between privileged code (backendish) and UI code.

Capacitor 1.1 turned off Electron security protections to make things work as they always have. As a new project, I was hoping for more.

In Capacitor 2 you have the opportunity to have the business logic run in a separate thread than the UI, and add the privileged code there. And such logic would not need to hold up the UI allowing for a smoother app.

One XSS in an iPhone app and maybe they own that app. One XSS in an Electron app and they wipe out your whole PC and life. There is a reason why Electron changed the defaults.
Noah Webster had some modest success, but only in the US, which is where many of the unique American English spellings come from - color, center, plow, etc.

Loophole doesn’t have a strict definition. Almost any deduction could be a loophole. Usually it is referring to anything that helps people with high incomes avoid paying taxes.
Its a risk-based idea.
These companies are valued lower (which everyone sees) because they are thought to be riskier. Theoretically, because less people invest in them because of this, it should result in higher returns for those who stick with the value companies due to the higher risk they are taking on.
Your university commercialization office will disagree. Check with them. From what I understand, it is illegal to release your code in CC0 or MIT unless you have taken permission from the commercialization office (Some universities allow GPL without explicit permission). Have you checked your contract ? Your work is not yours if it has any value. The value belongs to the university (mostly) - which also means you have no incentive to work on valuable stuff.

I think Elsevier is least of UCs problems. It's a distraction from the real ones.
This article really rubbed me the wrong way. And I don't have statistics to back up my opinion only personal experience. First it asks the question is rent rising way faster then income then states no it is only rising slightly faster then income. Okay but lets not forget that millions of Americans are living check to check and any loss of income effects their ability to live. So even a slight increase is cause for concern. Next it talks about rental vacancy. I really don't know how that works and if there are a bunch of empty houses around but I do know around here people are begging on Facebook for rentals. If your budget is in the thousands no problem you can rent something tomorrow but that is not the people we are talking about here. We are talking about the poor and there is definitely a problem finding housing. I am employed with a decent job and still had to move back in with my folks. A place that would house me and my kids would set me back about 1400$. I make a couple thousand a month if I am lucky so how can I afford to move out? I could work more hours and see my kids less I guess. I could sacrifice some of the food I personally eat. Perhaps not take the kids for an outing ever would save me the money for housing. Or if I don't need any medicine then I could afford housing. I certainly do a lot of home cooking that helps me keep the little money I have but still not enough for housing.

Where do the sacrifices end that allows the average person to live comfortably in a home? In my opinion there is a housing crisis.
Chuckled at this. But honestly I find debugging the “native” side of RN apps much more painful than any type of web development I’ve had experience with. Then again perhaps I’ve never worked with a 100% pure native app so would love to hear some more perspectives on this.

Like you I wish this functionality were first class; it seems like it will work, but it's not emphasized in docs. And the alternative of creating a separate service seems silly.
It does seem like taking the piss for a multimillion dollar startup to qualify as a "small business". Just because you're staying within the letter of the law doesn't mean it's not a loophole -- arguably that's exactly what a loophole is.

According to the article, professional accountants consider this scheme dubious.
Yes, the power will be expensive during that 2%. But it will not contribute all that much to the total cost of operating the grid. In particular, it would be cheaper than forcing the consumers to pay for nuclear the other 98% of the time, just so it would be available during that 2%.

Avoiding Webscraping Throttling Using Python and Tor as a Proxy
The Discord devs use RN and their app is anything but experimental or small. And there are by far not the only one (Skype, Instagram, Wix, UberEats, Tesla, Baidu, Salesforce).

Native devs don’t like RN because the mobile dev supply gets bigger which hurts their market value. That’s the real reason of your post, spreading FUD.

RN has its limitations but for 80% of apps it’s absolutely fine.

I can understand what she means when she talks about expectations. This is too common in China and India. It is difficult to explain to those who have never gone through what she is describing.

I believe the definitions of “intelligent” and “adaptive” are intertwined. I’m not sure what the distinction is between those two words, but I know they are connected.

Because this system can’t adapt, I agree it is probably not meaningfully “intelligent”.
The article cites well grounded aggregate statistics. Eastern Oregon doesn't affect the statistics because not enough people live there. So Eastern Oregon and all the other very low population places are a red herring. Please argue with the points presented not some other issue entirely.

Drum specifically calls out the high cost cities. But the aggregate statistics show that these are exceptions to the general pattern. We should not argue from our personal experience when the statistics show it is not typical.

This is policy relevant. If the Feds are going to intervene, it is very important that they intervene in the actual problem, not some misunderstood version of the problem where intervention would be at best a waste of resources and political capital, and at worst further proof that "government intervention is always bad."

A question with potentially constructive answers: "What federal interventions would potentially be helpful given that the housing crisis is mainly in a few high-rent cities?"

Thanks! I have chickens, a small garden and two tanks growing spirulina, so I'm similarly geared towards turning my waste streams into sources of food and fuel.

That's exactly backwards.

Elsevier didn't create the high-prestige journals. They were originally published by universities and not-for-profit academic societies. And became prestigious over time, in one way or another.

Elsevier just bought them, and has been raising prices and bleeding them out.

That had some creative editing. “The Apollo flight computer was the first computer to use integrated circuits (ICs).[citation needed]”

The integrated circuit first won a place in the military market through programs such as the first computer using silicon chips for the Air Force in 1961 and the Minuteman Missile in 1962.

It was very much cutting edge for the time, but not really more innovative than other similar examples.
One attack model is the one described in the article, that the links leaks to someone where it shouldn't be. In that case, an encryption key that is set to expire[1], would limit the scope of that leak. Of course, if someone would screenshot the image it could be too late, so the attack model does not include people that know the key will expire...
