No, I didn't ignore it, I just didn't see how it was relevant (and still don't).

> What’s surprising is that it’s being violent in an autonomous territory with many Western connections.

I don't see what that has to do with an open press and ubiquity of cell phones.

Furthermore, Honk Kong is not "an autonomous territory". It's part of China, full stop. The fact that the people who live there are behaving as if it were an autonomous territory is no small part of the problem.

Also, which of Hong Kong's "many Western connections" do you think is going to intervene when China invades? Do you really think Donald Trump is going to stand up for democracy? Do you really think Boris Johnson is going to send troops to protect Hong Kong's free press?
what do you put the chances at that there's a soul organ in the brain that acts like a radio into a soul dimension, where consciousness occurs? (rather than as an emergent property of the matter, with the brain being no different than any other matter in our Universe.)

Yeah I understand the reality of the situation, I probably shouldn't have said "I don't understand" in my comment. I just think it's a shame. I don't contribute to OSS, but I also think it's more than a "hobby". I'd rather see it as an international movement. I hope that one day the UN or something similar provides an equivalent service to Github without commercial interests. Even the UN is heavily politicised, but I don't like that the US alone gets to dictate what happens to some of the most important repositories of shared human technological knowledge when those repositories have been heavily contributed to by citizens of countries other than the US.
Wow, how did Elon Musk pull that off?

Rather, how did he put that on?
Personally, I am with you and don't believe they are entitled anything.

But essentially this basically comes down to gentrification vs preserving culture. Do we value cities as money-making assembly lines where all the workers are replaceable or do we value cities as a living thing, with the culture(s) as their bloodline that makes those cities what they are and gives them their appeal? Do I want to keep my neighborhood as it is, for my children to grow up as I did, or should I just let anyone come and change it, for better or worse?
Yeah. My boss is a half-coder, half-manager. He can fire me. He gets paid more than me. On the other hand, I don't take my laptop with me on vacation. He feels that he has to. I never feel that.
This sort of argument is usually applied to sports.

Just a quick fact-check, it would be more accurate to label Andy Ngo as a fascist propagandist and agitator than "independent journalist" and a having a milk shake thrown at you is not "almost losing your life".

Yes, the situation of freedom of speech in Russia is very bad right now, though not nearly as bad as under Stalin. I'm not sure what the modern equivalent would be of the Communist Party USA's 1948 platform; maybe propaganda in support of Daesh or something?
I don't support Crimea's situation because I'm not a fan of the Russian government, but to play devil's advocate, if Crimea were to be returned to Ukraine, wouldn't that then make Crimea a victim given it's not what its people desire? So the sanctions are in favour of making Crimea a victim?
I will interpret the label of modern to mean that current science is somewhat directionless on many fronts overwhelmed with an explosion of conflicting theoretical findings that are difficult to verify or disprove or categorize their utility meaningfully—progressing at a snail’s pace as a result. Or perhaps this more accurately is post-modern science.

A centralized database of mugshots from multiple government sources? If so, what would this be used for?
Just out of curiosity (not judging), what concrete observation makes you say Putin supports Duginism, as opposed to, say, Dugin said some things years ago that just now coincide with some recent news?
Unity is great at efficiently producing shovelware.
Title seems a bit click-baity implying some new discovery showing massive underestimation re global warming. The study itself was how fast does glacial ice melt when it's under water, nothing particular related to climate change.
I'm curious why Chime, which arrived with great fanfare, never really took off. I've been on conf calls with lots of different corporate customers, and as such have had to use lots of different clients (Zoom, Skype for Business, Google Meet, Bluejeans, etc.) but never once have I had a customer use Chime.
My own experience is that companies will try to meet your demands if they’re reasonable but every position has a budget. My hiring experience is that python developers are in great demand.

Not sure if this will cause an uproar. An Indian by birth here. As I see it, this was just Britisher's fighting the other Britishers on land(s) that does not belong to them?

PS: I've not read the history of both the nations (yet to open the book 1491), but I do know what the Britisher's did to India.
Yeah, instead you can show your solidarity against it by going to federal prison for tax evasion...
Are there policies anywhere that compensate people for the externalities brought by change? Like, if Alice buys a sunny place with a great view of wide open sky and a park, then Bob buys the places around her, bulldozes the park, and builds 20 story buildings, Alice is now in the dark looking at concrete 10 feet away. It objectively makes Alice's situation worse. Are there any frameworks that compensate Alice for the worsening of her situation?

I could imagine something like making developers pay for blocking views/sky/sun, or for creating noise, or making them pay for the change their development causes in the market value of others' properties. Not exactly that, but something along those lines. I'd bet it could bring some NIMBYs around. They'd no longer lose out when beneficial change happens.
Looking at the source code, the move you are about to make is included in the training dataset. This can be confirmed by playing “scissors scissors scissors rock” and then looking at the variables x and y in the console, which will include the surprise rock.

The code updates x and y, then trains the model, and then makes a prediction. “Fair” code would make a prediction, then update x and y and train the model

This explains the behavior mentioned in the comments where the computer gets an impressive early lead due to the players next move being one of only a few datapoints it learns from, then backs off to a more plausible advantage as the leaked data is diluted by past data.

That’s a rather restrictive definition of cryptography, don’t you think?
I don't disagree with your overall point but in the world of high-end watches Rolex watches _are_ mass produced and leverage economies of scale. I think the latest estimates are around 800,000 watches produced per year by Rolex.

I recently saw (1) and this brought it to mind - as someone who has written a few funded $250-500k grants, it's a very familiar feeling, and I assume it only gets worse when you get to RO1 and "infinite euromoney" levels.

My understanding is that lion prides are territorial, but the herds they prey on are not. The prides with prey in their territory eat; those without starve.

This sounds similar to the “preserve” system that you’ve hit upon, except that the preserves change location over time based on the number of predators, and the prey group into herds.
How can they get Apollo level focus if they can’t get early NASAs complete buy in from academic and private industry (across multiple nato countries).

If there had never been the Seven Years war, the world would probably look a lot different. You can make an argument that the Seven Years war caused the American War of Independence, The French Revolution, the Haitian Revolution and the Wars of
Spanish American independence.
The thing is, if you are playing randomly, that makes it easier to predict what you’re (not) going to do next. A good random distribution would give fewer runs, which means your choice is less likely to be the last choice you picked and somewhat less likely to be other recent values. It can at least tie by choosing scissors if it thinks you will not pick rock.

This is kind of a shot in the dark because I am not familiar with RPS strategy, but I think it makes sense.
It uses WebMIDI, I think, so you don't have to install anything on your computer or phone to edit or update patches.

Unless money starts growing on trees, it makes sense to invest in the profitable drugs, that way you can fund future research.

Investing in a tiny market and low prices means that investment is gone and won’t support future R&D.
What’s the problem with cosmetic medicine helping fund innovation in regenerative medicine?

Yes, the root cause might be vanity, but research is research. Someone has to pay for it. I selfishly hope to see a lot of regenerative research occur because of Boomers who haven't made peace with their mortality yet, so that I can live a bit longer as well (shoutout to Aubrey de Grey @ SENS). Please! Be vain and fearful of death if your checkbook is open.
I used to drink 1 / day to relax thinking I was alright, because I followed the guidelines, but I saw the effects of drinking even just that little had on both my mental and physical health.

It's the consistency that's no bueno; the quantity just determines the amplitude of the negative effects. Drinking alcohol daily in any quantity is just outright bad for anyone.
You don't own the view. It's unrealistic to expect that owning a single parcel of land would grant you broad latitude to stop projects anywhere within sight.

If you want a guaranteed good view, go buy a big plot of land way out in the middle of nowhere. You have no right to it in a city; other people's right to have housing is way more important.
This is why I don't let my kid watch YouTube. She gets Hulu Kids, which is high-value, curated, "normal" kids shows. Amazon Prime also has a kids section, I imagine Netflix is the same.

I don't understand why more parents don't restrict their kids to these but let them loose on YouTube instead.
Absolutely not.

A (very bad) US bank of mine froze my account in a way which was exceptionally difficult to fix because I tried to use the mobile app to check my balance while physically in Ukraine (not anywhere near Crimea; they chose to fucking sanction the entire country because Ukraine got invaded, which was the opposite of the intent of the law).

My interests are more in general purpose tools for increasing accuracy, and perhaps using them to increase the accuracy of inaccurate tools through feedback systems.

That is, throw out chasing perfection of rigidity, dimension, and flatness of a mill (etc.) Instead keep adding measurement and feedback until the precision of the machine parts doesn't matter. (or, continue to amuse myself and annoy my partner by making messes and spending my disposable income trying)
This is the second time in a couple weeks where I've seen a headline try to take a "crypto" angle for something ridiculously simple. There was another article touting drug cartels using "dollar bill serial numbers as random keys", https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20484197, which was wrong - the keys weren't random, they were just unique and difficult to fake.

I get the sense, with the general failure of blockchain to live up to its hype beyond Bitcoin, that we'll see a lot of "crypto-" this and that nonsense, similar to how everything was "e-" this and that in 2000.
I think this is a good idea - didn't see any samples of data (or even lists available) on page, may to do that to get people interested.
I spend a lot of time in Montana, and I guess I took them for granted! Never realized they were regional.

In addition to the points mentioned, upkeep is really continued development that must be performed within historically set constraints.

But if it predicts you are playing random, is it not then random vs random?

I am under the impression that you can't game random -- unless you are aware of the random generator being used is broken..
Solovki in 1929 — or even 1939, after Stalin's first big purges — was a few thousand people. That does not amount to a "massive prison camp system full of political dissidents." You can easily find that many in the US today who are in jail for "resisting arrest" and "disorderly conduct" and such crimes against police-officer pride, and of course there are well-known controversial US concentration camps for political refugees attempting to exercise their right to seek asylum from persecution. (Not to mention the small number of people who remain imprisoned without due process in Guantánamo Bay.)

The "massive prison camp system full of political dissidents" I refer to was the GULAG system, which at times contained millions of people, slightly more even than the whole US prison system of today, of which a substantial fraction were suspected of nothing more than political disloyalty. But that didn't happen in ten or twenty years after the Russian Revolution. It took about a quarter century.
In my 10 years of engineering, I’ve seen a whole bunch of such guides. Promotions are hard to make them fair. Promotions are also biased because it’s fuzzy and there are humans involved in it.

The only true way to get to know your worth is to test the market. It’s a supply and demand game. Most raises I’ve got is by switching companies. Most companies usually overpay their newer hires and underpay their older hires. Why should they pay more if they’re not asking for it ?

Managers will always get paid more as you move up. They make bigger decisions and have bigger impact. Their impact is their management tree’s summation.

As an IC you plateau out. You either start your own thing or work in more lucrative industries.

Promotions never land on your feet, you gotta fight for them.

FYI, glass doesn't flow. That's a common myth. Modern glass making techniques are much better than older ones, and we can make flat glass panes of constant thickness. Those old screwy panes were just as screwy when they were first put in; that's as good as they could mass produce at the time.

Yes what else would I mean? Unity has proven to be very good at enabling amateurs to mass produce shitty games.
That sounds like the gambler’s fallacy. Less runs than what? Most truly random input haa far more runs than what people “think” is random, and in fact that’s one of the statistical tests for whether a data set was random.

You’re essentially saying that a good neural network can predict the next value of a good random number generator. Good luck with that one!

Maybe while you’re at it, have neural networks invert cryptographically secure hash functions :)
Private commercial businesses do this, they fool you with their marketing and make you think that their product is also free and open source. Github's branding and marketing are to thank. And the blame also goes to us and other developers for not seeing this.
I don't understand why you're downvoted. At the very least, the article is inconsistent on this point:

8 cups / day is widely reported - and suggested in the article itself - to be too high as a minimum, and yet the article actually ends up concluding that you need to be drinking more than that.
P/E is NEVER useless. For instance, if a company misses on earnings, then maybe it was an outlier - an odd quarter of sorts. But if you do it a few times over, then you are not the growth company you thought you were, and your 100:1 p/e will come crashing down to join everybody else (albeit maybe on the high side) somewhere in the upper 20’s or in the 30’s.

But here’s the key - to do that, a stock would have to lose TWO THIRDS of it’s value.

So a really high p/e signals really high growth expectations, and when a company isn’t growing at that expectation, the law of gravity again takes control and it will fall back to earth.

Ignore it at your own peril.
Venezuela is not fully-embargoed. The fully-embargoed countries are Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria.
Yes. The second highest paid person at Square is likely an IC. There are a number of year zero ICs there still that aren’t reporting to Jack.

Exclude the CEO because it’s a singular position. Only one person can be CEO. There’s no IC equivalent to it because it’s a unique position.

The point of the torn note is (as far as I understood) that the authenticator keeps the other half. So anyone can contact the authenticator and ask them if they have a counterpiece for any given note.

I don't see how this prevents someone with visual access to the note and the painting from creating a fake though. (The article mentions the tear is hard to reproduce but I doubt that.)

Additionally I don't see how this prevents anyone from distributing a valid note with a fake or wrong painting.
Not really floating, since that implies a certain freedom of movement that atoms in a solid don't have. But otherwise you are correct, since each electron is a tiny magnet (protons and neutrons are also magnets but their magnetic field strength is much smaller so they can safely be ignored). A macroscopic magnet is just a material where the electron magnetic fields add together to an macroscopically appreciable value, rather than cancelling each other out, i.e. the direction of the electron magnetic fields are largely aligned.
Same here. Also all the big streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu) have kids sections with quality children's programming. I don't understand why parents let loose their kids on YouTube when these alternatives exist.
This exemplifies why I quit my last job.

But primarily,

"We promote engineers and managers when they have demonstrated that they are consistently performing at the next level. Promotions don’t unlock new responsibilities; the new responsibilities and increased scope come first and then we recognize it with a promotion."

Every discussion I had with my manager, my promotion was six months away, despite IC contributions exceeding the sum total of the rest of my team when measured per-project via our number one KPI: annualized cost savings (larger org was seen as a cost center).

Unfortunately these "principles" are becoming harder and harder to avoid.
This will be a great comfort through the anthropocene.
