I was in Japan for a month not long ago and one thing that stood out for me was police walking around with large wooden sticks. Many walked around with expandable police batons, casually fully expanded.
Haven't explored internet options up there. But the UP of Michigan, it's beautiful country and it's been far too long since I've had a pasty. It doesn't have the scale of Washington or the weather of California, but it is so much beautiful unspoiled wilderness. It's really hard to describe. Honestly the best show to capture it is Joe Pera talks with you.
I haven't read an economist article in months and it still gives me limits. Something tells me the limits are bullshit and they just want an annoying paywall by default.

Because they wouldn’t be asking that question.
>if you shine repeated photons on them from the same source, prepared in the same state, they all come out in the same state, or more generally give the same results.

Those kinds of measurements would violate the uncertainty principle. You can't know the complete state going in to the system or the complete state going out. You can run some tests and justify other assumptions based accepted theories. We generally have a good idea what happens when lots of photons pass through these components. We have some ideas of what happens to single photons (in a statistical sense), but the fundamental question we are investigating is whether there even is a local deterministic description of what happens to single photons passing through the component.

> The sources are so inefficient (in terms of converting input energy into photons that are useful for the experiment)... a typical experiment does not use just one photon. It has to take data from many photons

I was aware of that and it's part of my criticism. If the emitter were to only emit useable photons when it's "in the right state", what stops the "right state" for emitting photons to become correlated with the polarizers?

There are a bunch of "unusable" photons bouncing around interacting with everything and transporting global state. Then there are the "usable" photons that get reflected, absorbed and re-emitted by components of the test bed. Any time they interact with anything they modify the state of whatever they touch. What happens to the photons that reflect off of the polarizers and travel back into the emitter?

If a photon bounces off of a mirror it had to have 1. transfered momentum to whatever it hit, and 2. induced a sufficiently strong opposing electromagnetic field to cause the photon to be reflected or re-emitted. While these are tiny effects they are roughly the same order as the effects that caused the photon to be reflected in the first place, and they all require a change in state of the mirror so that momentum is conserved and Maxwell's laws are not violated (my guess would be that this could cause shifts in electron orbital or proton spin orientation, but that's a bit beyond me).
Sorry about that, I had to shorten the title to comply with HN's title length limit, and when I saw my mistake I couldn't edit it anymore. It would be nice if a moderator could fix that.

Arguably Japan is rife with benzodiazepine abuse, several varieties of which can just be bought and consumed freely there.

Genetics is information. Do you believe information should not be ownable? I think we should not be able to own any information. Information is like fire. It takes no space and costs nothing to replicate. Taking the concept ownership developed with physical objects and applying it to information is ridiculous. It's like owning clouds.
I've been in this position, and took a lower paying job to work at a scientific institute.

FWIW, men are also overrepresented in the worst that life has to offer. They're more likely to die on the job, commit suicide, and be murdered; they're expected to fight a nation's wars and risk their lives to rescue fellow citizens from perilous situations; and are less likely to attend college and more likely to end up in prison.

There are MRAs and MRA-adjacent people who are gross misogynists. But there are MRAs who make compelling points. Argue against the best version of your opponent's argument, not the worst.

Discussion in Farm Progress.[1] The maize plant in Mexico requires a 9-month growing season, so it's only useful in near-tropical climates. Work is progressing to see if the trick that plant uses can be adapted to something that grows faster.

For a plant to fix its own nitrogen carries an energy cost. So the plant grows slower. There's a tradeoff here.

The lack of a voltage regulator is quite bad; LEDs reduce their internal resistance as they get hotter, causing them to increase thermal output.

That feedback loop, if not controlled for in some way, can easily destroy the lamp.

You also still need a DC converter unless you prefer a 50Hz hum in your LEDs (which sucks).
I have an analogy.
A poor guy lives on a cliff. He is a careful man and watches his steps, being only human, he missteps and falls to his death.

A better off guy can afford a house further from the cliff, and can even to put up a fence. Just like the poor man, he makes missteps once in a while, but the cliff is far away, and continues to live.

In this wealthy country, there is no reason for anyone to have to live near a financial cliff where ordinary mistakes or bad luck will devastate you. It is not productive. It hurts economic growth and is, in my opinion, immoral.

A universal income would allow us all live a little further from the cliff, and not punish you for managing to build your home further away.

While I agree for the most part, these are people who are in positions of power and would like to stay there. They have their personal biases, and their livelihoods depend on their staying in power.

When they say (not in so many words) that "I want for us to be able to bulk monitor communications", I'm not willing to concede that they aren't considering or aware of some of the possible second order effects.

To me it seems more likely that they feel they (may) get to move their crime rate statistics and, when their mind goes for a cursory wander over the likely consequences, they find all of those to be mildly pleasant as well.

It's right there in the words of the term - it's not an unreasonable guess to think that 'open source' just means that the source code is 'open' in the sense of 'available', especially since proprietary software doesn't normally provide source code.

Compound this by the fact that many people are jumping into this field where English is not their first (or even second) language.
I really hope they don't blame the EU for that as well! :p
I second this, and that is what i did. I still develop web apps in my day work, and do a lot of game development on the side. I recommend doing it as an indie rather than as a job, as the satisfaction is higher. Game development is something where if you spend long hours to perfect a technique your users will likely notice and reward it. To me it seems the perfect mix between engineering and art.
> can we find a way to reward the farmers who genetically engineered this plant by selecting for the strongest individuals for the last several thousands years?

In a very concrete sense we cannot, because the people who did it are dead. We're really talking about rewarding (the people we presume to be) their descendants. Is that something we would do in a completely European context? For example, if we found a strain of worm-resistant apple that had been growing in a particular suburb of Manchester since before anyone's grandma could remember, would you consider giving patent rights to anyone who had a tree in their back yard?

Andy goes into this in some detail in the class. He was an investor in the Facebook game. The Wealthfront pivot - which was indeed the case, since both depended on APIing the feed and broker layer – was partly inspired by many of his ex-students becoming rich in Facebook stock and coming to him with investing advice. He realized there was a generation of wealthy young people who didn’t want the hassle of an investment manager and couldn’t afford high-end management advice.

Part of it also came from his exposure to the Ivy investing method through his role on the endowment investment committee at UPenn.

Why?

The profit margin is a number that includes everything. I compare this to the revenue they make from app store fees. If they stop taking that revenue, their revenue decreases by exactly that amount, their expenses stay the same, so their profit also decreases by exactly that amount.
I have also developed a very small kernel in 512 bytes, it's a fun exercise [1] (this is a really old project that was uploaded to BitBucket long after it initially started). I quite like this BootOS project, you can of course see the compromises that any OS this size has to make.

I would make a recommendation to the BootOS project which is to squeeze a function table as I have done in order to allow programs to call functions in the kernel. If not, you either end up re-writing these functions for each of your programs, you have to recompile your programs any time you change your kernel or you end up trying to maintain jump positions.

For those still reading, I'm working on a large overhaul of saxos which includes very simple multi-tasking (currently working). The intention will be to have the kernel load a 512 byte GUI on top and then for the programs to have access to a terminal within the GUI. Once that's working I then want to move towards also allowing programs to draw to the Window, but that also brings its own issues.

>Epic is terribly insecure, trust the malware-ridden Play Store instead" rhetoric we got from this particularly aggressive media campaign.

Did p0 say that anywhere?

Given that if I search fortnite on the play store, I get a special warning message that it can't be downloaded on play (which was added specifically to prevent fortnite clones), I'm less than convinced that there was a unified campaign by Google to undermine epic, as you seem to be suggesting.

> Okay. Let’s make it a little less political... What are the chances that a Democratic President will get anything done?

This has instead segued into predicting the hypothetical effectiveness of a unknown future Democratic President...

I'm Australian so it's not going to affect me, but from the outside it looks like the U.S. has, with the assistance of a foreign adversary, unknowingly elected a corrupt, cheating, racist, inept pathological lying demagogue as its head of government. If he's elected again after showing his true colors, the rest of the world's going to think the majority of the US population is complicit and in-support of his views. Personally I'd say give a Democratic President a chance at restoring decorum to US politics.

In terms of effectiveness, IMO U.S. major problems with cost of Health Insurance, Gun Laws and frequent Massacres wont be resolved within my lifetime. They might have a chance with Health Insurance as Obama was able to implement ACA and it looks like its one of Sanders and Warren's major campaign promises to implement Medicare for all, but they should be able to make progress on their other campaign promise of reducing Wealth Inequality. Warren is especially motivated on reining in Wall Street [1].

API Strategy Every Developer Should Adopt
> So Japanese people are doing everything right -- eschewing violence, avoiding drugs, working hard and not having kids out of wedlock. They are following the conservative prescription, as well as or better than any other developed country in the world. And yet still, many of them are poor. This suggests that there is something very wrong with the conservative theory of poverty.

No, the author is confused. There is a big difference between -

- you cannot be poor if you make good choices, and

- you can get out of povery by making good choices

The conservative position is the later. There will be cases where it doesn't work, but it is a sound recommendation in general.

Now, poverty does make it harder to make good choices. So welfare $s should be spent to make that easier, e.g. free food at school helps kids do better at school.
After historic rocket launch, Chinese startup to ramp up missions
I want to congratulate you for trying. It's important and while many people will rightly say that it's not anywhere near enough, you have to start somewhere!

However, I just want to caution you. My wife unplugs all the electrical appliances when we aren't using them so that the led indicators don't waste electricity. Then she drives 40 km a day. I can't quite get her to understand that the amount of energy she's saving from those led indicators is absolutely and completely inconsequential compared to her car. The problem is Al Gore said it in a famous documentary, and some other person told a friend of my wife, who told my wife and my wife really trusts her friend. Nobody in that chain has a clue what a watt hour is or how many they use in a day or what they use them for. But they have satisfied the minimum requirement for being "eco" according to somebody's recounting of somebody's recollection of somebody's movie watching and that's all that matters for them. I'm slowly educating my wife, but it's really hard work.

Don't fall prey to that kind of thinking. It's going to take real effort to figure out how each of us can reduce our energy consumption to a point where we aren't causing a problem. Nobody is going to be able to give you a quick fix -- it's going to be one thing after another after another after another and you are absolutely going to get sick of it before it is done. Starting with the meat is great. You have to start somewhere. Just don't stop there.

Ultimately, what formal verification gives you is a guarantee of structural correctness, but not behavioural correctness.
Whether a program behaves as intended or required is still a task for humans. Garbage in - garbage out.

Whether structural correctness is a requirement is a function of the software's criticality and purpose.

You probably don't need it for your blog...

There is one critical FYI. If you require formal verification of your code you have to give up Turing-completeness.
