I don't know what country you're in, but they're in the US, and their lawyers are legally obligated to defend their trademarks against all violations, or they risk losing the trademark. So they will. Trademark use is by category, so you might be able to start a business called Quark Cupcakes, but you're both doing software, so it is a clear violation.

It is really hard to find a good name, and obviously it is your choice to stick with Quark. However, I do expect you'll get a cease and desist letter unless you change the name.

Why an “AI Race” Between the U.S. and China Is a Terrible, Terrible Idea
It's corrupt in ways that are different than most people think when they hear "corrupt". The us largely isn't a place where people in power (e g. Police) extort people to do their job nor does paying the right (low level) people (directly) get you something that would otherwise be held up.

The US is corrupt in its complacency. Most people are fine with most things and largely don't have the time or ability to care about the rest. It's easy for regulatory bodies to turn to the industries they regulate for expertise, and it's easy for that to turn into the turnstile we have today. It's also easy for this not to matter to most people until it becomes a problem, and at that point it's hard to fix without political will.
It used to be three years, but five years is now becoming common unless there is a compelling need. Honestly, I am okay with it.

The battery life might be slightly less, but it really does everything that I want it to.
Most, if not all, the changes currently made supposedly in favour of tenants are made for political purposes, not to actually solve any issues.

The market is very hot in places like London. This makes tenants 'unhappy'. In turn this makes the government propose ill-thought measures for political gains.

These measures tend to decrease supply (since they all hit on landlords) when they should increase supply with a disproportionate focus on "rogue landlords".

That's with a Tory government. Labour's current view is the hard-left and thus private landlords are to be hit as a matter of ideology...

I'm from Sweden and I used to work at a warehouse before and between my stuides. Here, everything if focused about the rights for the employee. As soon as you have worked for 6 months at one place, you have what we call "permanent employment", which basically means that you can't be fired unless you repeatedly fuck up big time (coming drunk to work repeatedly, steal from the company etc).

Anyway, here you can be sick for 5 days in a row (and get 80% of your salary), after that you have to go to a doctor and get a paper that you are in fact sick. Futhermore, you can be sick for 6 times a year, after that you have to talk to the boss and explain yourself. People used this to the maximum, meaning that on top of the 5 weeks per year people got payed vacation, they were all "sick" an additional 6 weeks, always 5 days at a time. The employers can't do anything, as people with permanent employment can't be fired.

What I've always wondered though: can loud sounds outside the frequency range that is audible to us cause hearing damage?

It's a supply side issue. I guess we could take steps to start forcing people's career choices?
Just to clarify, your argument is that sick days should be used as PTO, because the term “sick” is impossible to define and therefore meaningless?

“...I picked based on my own non-systematic judgment...” is a pretty big caveat for deciding what makes something good. If his judgement is biased toward being impressed by quality X of a group, then sure enough the study will conclude that quality X is important.

However, any objective measure of research group effectiveness is probably worse. You sometimes see them ranked by number of papers published, or number of patents filed, which is definitely the wrong criterion. Whereas the author’s judgement is probably mostly aligned with what you or I might value.

It’s better to be subjectively right than objectively wrong.

This one is hard, for two reasons:

1. Small Companies: These guys will have limited or no reviews online simply because of their size.

2. Large Companies: A bad review is moot depending on where in the company you work. I've had a fantastic experience with my current employer but that has less to do with the company and more to do with the team/manager. Someone could work at the same company nad have a horrible experience on a different team or working for a different department.
It'll probably help in California, where 38% of the Chinese money is going. But only 266k properties were purchased in 2018 by ALL foreign buyers https://www.gbreb.com/GBREBDocs/GBAR/News/Informer/2018/2018... (page 22 has purchase locations by country of origin)
out of 5.33 million existing home sales and 667k new home sales in the same year https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics/quick-real-e... . So if you figure California and Florida look like they're disproportionately attracting foreign investment, there isn't that much left over for the rest of the country to be impacted with.

Dunno - if you think of something like the two slit experiment whether the worlds where the particle goes through slit one or where it goes through slit two exist or not seems to have experimental results as they produce an interference pattern.

You can also ask about more complicated situations and whether the other worlds exist may not be meaningless if they have an effect on event probabilities in ours, if only a small one.

Unlicensed nutrition advice ("eat and drink nothing") causing actual harm ("death") to anyone anywhere ever ("fourth known death")
It is hard to find direct evidence of this because bad diet won't usually kill you before you quit it, nor is long term permanent damage easy to nail down attribution analysis. It should be obvious that certain bad advice has led some people to get fatter, and some people to miss essential nutrients.

But if you really must have some direct story, here's a bunch of idiots who tried to extract all of their nutrition from the air: https://culteducation.com/group/848-breatharianism/3269-thre...

Awesome. I imagine this being useful for things that quickly check if something exists on HN or watch for new items etc.

Though I think this needs clarification:

> but it's based on Firebase

The entire HN dataset is also available as a public BigQuery dataset, which enables much more intricate queries. For example, the following query means "Get all Show HNs with more than 5 or more points and 5 or more comments, along with the decoded submission title and all decoded top-level comments which are neither dead nor deleted" (and page):

CREATE TEMPORARY FUNCTION
HTML_DECODE(enc STRING)
RETURNS STRING
LANGUAGE js AS """
var decodeHtmlEntity = function(str) {
return str.replace(/&#(\\d+);/g, function(match, dec) {
return String.fromCharCode(dec);
}).replace(/&#x([a-fA-F0-9]+);/g, function(match, hex) {
return String.fromCharCode(parseInt(hex, 16));
});
};
try {
return decodeHtmlEntity(enc);;
} catch (e) { return null }
return null;
""";
WITH
top_shows AS (
SELECT id, HTML_DECODE(title) AS dtitle
FROM `bigquery-public-data.hacker_news.stories`
WHERE descendants >= 5 AND score >= 5 AND title LIKE "Show HN:%"),
first_comments AS (
SELECT
parent,
HTML_DECODE(REGEXP_REPLACE(text, r"(</?[a-z]+>)|(<a href=\")|(\" rel=\"nofollow\">.+?</a>)", " ")) AS dcomment
FROM `bigquery-public-data.hacker_news.comments`
WHERE dead IS NULL AND deleted IS NULL )
SELECT
top_shows.id, top_shows.dtitle, first_comments.dcomment
FROM top_shows JOIN first_comments
ON first_comments.parent = top_shows.id
LIMIT 1000 OFFSET 0

So if you need to answer specific questions like this, which could return 500k+ rows, it's better to use BigQuery than stressing the API.

You shouldn't need to invoke consciousness to discuss physics. It's ultimately an attempt to describe reproducible observation using mathematical objects and concepts that are sufficiently commonsense that they can be communicated to fellow physicists and agreed upon.

You can still ask if there are other methods that convey understanding about reality than this method, but it's not in the purview of physics.

With respect to Many-Worlds, it is better understood as a formal problem. It stands in opposition to a formulation of quantum mechanics that cannot be used to model the universe as a system because what constitutes measurement was not described by that formulation, but measurements affected the system.

Here in California, counties maintain publicly accessible property records, indexed by street address. Corporate owners must register with the state, and the various state enforcement agencies present records indexed by name of violator on their own websites.

The difference is that we have sound scientific evidence for the efficacy and safety of vaccines. We can give one group of people a vaccine, and another a placebo, in the course of a randomized, controlled, prospective, double-blind human trial.

We cannot, however, conduct the same trial for different diets. There is no ethical way to completely control what someone eats in a double-blind fashion. This requires humans in captivity to be fed against their will. Such a trial is neither practical nor ethical, and the results are likely to be far less generalizable to a population because of the conditions of the experiment.

We know a lot more about what to feed animals, because it has been possible to conduct controlled experiments upon them. Whether those were, in fact, ethical, is another question.

So the problem is that the state-licensed nutritionist does not necessarily have better advice than an unlicensed practitioner, and it is impossible to prove that this is so.

While it is a laudable idea to strive for a standard of good nutritional advice, to assume that the science underlying that advice is settled is profoundly naive.

The question is as follows: how much accommodation should be made for an employee with a disability?

It’s a strange thing, but it turns out people have the right to be wrong in what they say. If it makes Americans uncomfortable that the court is taking this opinion, it’s because they are taking the position that this is an infringement on our rights as people.

Remember, the Bill or Rights isn’t a granting of rights, it’s a restriction on the government to not infringe on the rights we are born with and which are inalienable.

I've read that paper. It's fascinating.

The research and resulting protocol is inspired by an earlier Hungarian study in 2003 [1] that was able to seemingly cure psoriasis in 79% of its 500 test subjects. We don't know for sure; but 2 years later, 58% were still in complete remission. To be clear, that's a completely unheard-of result in psoriasis research.

All current, "mainstream" forms of treatment for psoriasis only treat the symptoms, not the cause. Even the newest, most advanced immune-suppressing biologics are merely stupid off buttons for the signaling misfiring that causes the superficial symptoms; meanwhile, psoriasis sufferers have much-higher-than-average incidences of cancer, liver disease, heart disease, IBD and so on. Treatments only keep the skin/joint symptoms at bay, and require the patient to continue taking the drugs, which tend to stop working after a while.

Pretty excited about this direction in psoriasis research.
