I can't speak for others, but I have never worked for a warehouse job until now, and it isn't as bad as I thought. I was considering working for UPS, but after recently giving birth, I couldn't lift the minimum weight they required for me. So I thought Amazon would be a viable option. I make more than I would at UPS, and it's very easy compared to it. I know because my husband works there. I honestly don't understand why some people would complain about Amazon but to get media attention. That's my opinion.

The drug is licensed for people with treatment resistant depression. This group has significantly higher risk of death by suicide. I dislike speculating on causes of suicides, but if they've been told "here's this thing that appears to give relief from depression for people like you", and they try it, and it doesn't, I can see how that would further increase their risk.
That's me on the video. I'm a long-timer Hacker News reader, and happy to have a geeky chat here about what I'm up to. -john
Interesting. Would you say the South was an important market for the industrialized North?

Would you like to guess whether businessmen in the North invested in the slave trade and grew rich thanks to it?

And what do you make of the fact that the North abolished slavery only after decades of using slaves, making it plausible that they never could have succeeded as colonies without slaves in the first place?

This is beautifully written and worth downloading.

“Ben does not prefer to use the shift key, a typographic quirk I replicated faithfully here even though it burns my eyes:”

The premise is: “if you were forced to be one of the chess pieces, which piece should you choose to give you the best chance of survival?”

The king is the obvious choice, but the author assumes kings will have to be sacrificed under victory conditions or when time runs out. This is lovely:

“Many games also end in a time forfeit, which is like the king's poor diet and lifestyle choices leading to a death by natural causes.”

The author uses 500 million chess games from lichess.org to estimate each piece's survival probability, and even makes heatmaps for which squares each piece usually dies on.

For those digging for the answer, it's in figure 3 under 4.1. It differs depending on the game style (bullet, blitz, classical). There's one piece that's common to almost all categories with a 70% chance of survival.
So your answer is no, then?
>> It wasn't a big commercial system; it was a big government system (you probably can't imagine the degree of shock and awe that greeted MITI people or even the mention of the minstry in the US).

Sloppy turn of phrase on my part.

I do understand the reaction of the US, and not only. I did my CS degree in 2007 and I made heavy use of my university's library that had a solid selection of Prolog textbooks, which I devoured. At some point I noticed that a few of those textbooks (the more industry-oriented) had prefaces that stated Prolog was a very important language to know because it was poised for world domination thanks to the FGCP. Curious, I dug a bit further and found that book- the one from that American journalist woman and the man from the semiconductors business. If memory serves, it portended doom unless the US spent a few billions overtaking the Japanese. Later, I found out what happened after- but I got a pretty good idea of how people in industry in the US saw the whole thing, and it has helped me understand why logic programming was relegated to a mere niche in CS following the abandonment of the FGCP.

The similarities with the present hype cycle are not lost on me, either. However, this is what happens when industry takes over science. We lose the science. There is nothing here to celebrate, or laugh at. Like I say above, missing an opportunity to discover new knowledge because some idiots want to make a quick buck is a tragedy.

Information is always created by someone. Creation does not necessarily mean ownership.
Many countries try to decrease the difference between being at the top (or at least in the upper quartile or so) of the social hierarchy and being at the bottom, resulting in less suck for the poor.
Ownership is just a notion. It's a custom our society has invented, probably pushed by people who had things, and then tried to convince everyone that this was the norm.

In more tribal societies it's not uncommon that people have no notion of ownership, or that it's less transactional. People who steal who I have met generally believe that it's the fault of the victim to have left that item up for grab. Just to say that the notion is quite fluid between people.

"There really aren't any electric convertibles out there though"

https://www.topgear.com/car-news/concept/morgans-cyclops-ele...
The US has loads of carriers though - the UK will only have two and to have a direct link between the design of the carrier and a particular design of aircraft seems particularly risky.
> unless you have a classic car that you really want to make electric just for fun

You'll have to do the conversion if you want to keep driving the car as cities and eventually whole countries ban ICE vehicles. Aston Martin has an EV conversion program for that reason:

It'd be best to leave it for as long as possible in order to get the best batteries available at the time. A EV conversion with a solid-state battery pack might offer some practical range.

Google doesn't want you to know that, Google wants you to rely on GMail to get rid of all emails Google doesn't want you to read, and rely on the Google Safe Browsing Database to decide what websites are in Google's interest for you to view.

More than a week for a doctor? It is possible in large city, especially if you don't want (or can't afford) to pay a premium (at least in Paris). Never had any troubles in Munich, Liege, Lille or Rennes though.

The premiums are not really fair for the people living in those cities, but with the square meter price, it is understandable that cost increase for medecine too.

But if you think you have an emergency (and no money), you can still get to a hospital (at least in France). University hospitals are great too (if you have one nearby), because if your affliction is weird, you'll get some of the best doctors available to help you. Clermont-Ferrand dental surgery speciality saved two of my teeth when i was 16 and my mother on minimal income for the grand total of 0€. Any private dentist would not have bothered and have removed those two and replaced then with false ones (the teeth were stuck into the jaw bones if you want details), for probably much more.
I'm sorry to hear that happened to you.

Police are kinds of social workers, crime and threats to life are intimately social matters. I think in most countries police would respond to suicide warnings. Police spend most of their time dealing with mentally ill and stressed people who they more often just talk to than arrest.

the war nerd has a scathing post about the v22 and Americas problems which I think is a great observation
I believe the person you're replying to was attempting to help people like me, who haven't had a math lesson since leaving high school (in my case over 16 years ago) and whose level of math is roughly "You want me to multiply something? Let me get my phone."

So while the book in question might not be the best resource, it probably is a better starting point than the linked doc.
EV certs required that. DV certs never provided that sort of security.
These are not even the only fun bugs and issues that lurk in how various alias/invariant/etc related things are designed in llvm, and trying to figure out the regions they cover.

For anyone ever designing a compiler, do yourself a huge favor: do not try to scope aliasing/etc info using metadata. Make it an explicit part of the ir somehow so that the control and dataflow is explicit to the compiler.
(GCC went thru the same fun before LLVM did).

It seems like a good idea at first, but it is almost impossible to keep it conservatively correct during transforms (unless you drop it when anything at all changes, which also turns out badly)
As a point of comparison I have a Renault Twingo, the previous model as the one shown in the article, bought it second or third hand in 2004, the entire car for less than 5000€, so less than the modification here, and it's still working well.

Autonomy is about 500 Km (very small tank) but you never use this for long journeys, so the 100 Km after electrification would not be an issue.

The issue on my car is that there are points of rust in some places and there is a new law that may disqualify my working car from being road worthy the next time I go to the mandatory check. (gotta encourage car turn over for the economy).

If this modification could fix my rust issue (I think it's on the underside of the exhaust pipe so not needed anymore) I could be interested.

Have a look at this chart: https://static.skepticalscience.com/pics/world-flowchart.jpg

Livestock and manure account for 5.1% of global CO2 production. Agriculture on the whole account for 13%. Although the 5.1% is a large chunk, it's just nowhere near enough. Air transportation is also sitting at a cool 1.6%.

In order for us to make large changes, we're going to have to make fairly substantial alterations to the way we do things. I'm totally happy if some people don't eat meat. Heck, I was vegan for 10 years! But, I don't think it's a terribly effective approach to addressing global climate change. The 5% isn't enough and it doesn't force us to make the other cultural changes that are necessary to succeed.
I wrote something similar to what you are saying. For instance, I said: "understanding integrals and derivatives doesn't require one to memorize all the mechanical rules".

I'm not against memorization though. Memory is very useful when studying math or programming or any other subject. You don't want to have to "reason your way through" every time, shortcuts are very important!. I think of this like brain-memoization. Without it, it would be very inefficient to make progress. A lot has been said about this relationship [1]. Also, I think this is how some breakthroughs happen, "connecting the dots", so to speak.

Maybe when you say: "...spending any time memorizing syntax...", you are thinking flashcards or something like that? Sure, you don't need flashcards, anything you do often enough is gonna be easier to remember.

My comment was more in line with the fact that, with 2000 pages, maybe the author elaborates a lot on things that are very mechanical in nature and maybe require a few pages to describe (and are very inefficient for humans to compute? Just use a computer! :-). Say, Gaussian elimination; couldn't one be told: this is a matrix, this is a determinant, this is the relationship between them, this is what it means to invert the matrix, etc. and skip the full description of Gaussian elimination? (put in an appendix? on a second book? less pages!). I don' think is super helpful to, say, spend a lot of time inverting matrices with pen and paper in order to get proficient in linear algebra.

Though to be fair, full source strings are kept around in memory for lazy compilation anyway (and other lazy computation).
I don't understand why this needs to be said, and I agree with you. There's no point owning a car that is more expensive only because if has to face specific conditions one or two days a year.

Renting a car seems to be the obvious solution, but there might be two reasons why it doesn't appear to be so for most people. The first one is that in general car drivers don't know how much they pay per day or per kilometer driven. Then renting a car seems to be expensive. The second reason is that cars have an almost religious status in our society.

It reminds me of Ath, a city in Belgium that has a yearly event where the people go through the streets wearing huge statues. This tradition can be found in other countries as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantes_y_cabezudos. Car culture looks like a big daily procession to honour the values of power, speed, and freedom from physical limitations. No wonder some people can't leave their symbolic attire, and instead want to own it, the way they own their daily clothes.
Ah, I read introduction and thought "finally, something for me". I'll have to find something a little more introductory.
Hey I'm an Amazon warehouse worker, and while I would have to agree, I love the chances to climb to management or an actual career. I'm part of the career choice program which pays for 95% of my college tuition, fees, and books for an IT program (which I chose). The job is boring but not too difficult. I know others might say otherwise though.
That data isn’t “owned”. Mere data such as you describe (sports results or stock prices) cannot be owned. There is no legal mechanism for it. Copyright can’t cover mere facts such as those, and patents or trademarks don’t apply, nor does trade secrets, obviously. However, the corporations involved sure would like you to think otherwise, and they will fight tooth and nail to keep it that way.

I think it is a matter of perspective. The book covers stuff you learn in the first two semesters when studying maths. So for someone who studied maths (probably the author) these are the basics.
The labelling isn't confusing at all. Not only do top-level managers cluster around sociopathy, but corporate structures specifically reward selfish sociopathic behaviours and punish empathy and context-awareness.

You have to be a certain kind of person to cut staff - some dedicated and valuably skilled - in order to boost the short-term return on your stocks. Likewise, you have to be a certain kind of person to think of customers as a resource that can be farmed and exploited with dark patterns and other manipulations. And in more extreme cases - you have to be a certain kind of person to make non-payment of contractors a deliberate policy.

People who score high on empathy won't be comfortable with those kinds of actions.
Yes.

French hospitals are underfunded and desesperate right now. They cut corners everytime they can, often on the back of nurses and mediacl assistants (who are wholly underpaid). Doctors are in an okay position, but some specialties lack specialists (especially in position where French medical education is really good, or very lucrative: i.e. surgery and anesthesia). We are far from a great medical country. I would happily give another 100€ per month to resolve those issue (and i do somehow with not asking for rembursment after consultations as i can easely afford those).

“an electric makeover—and offer a cut-price way to avoid driving bans across European cities.”

Lower middle class and low emission zones. People don't have the budget to upgrade their cars and risk losing car mobility. Ask my hippie uncle in his old van. Meanwhile, there's air travel without externalities priced-in, electric vehicle subsidies, home battery subsidies, and more disproportionally benefiting us upper middle class and rich people.

This social problem is all over Western Europe. To those who don't care about social exclusion or global warming, it's free votes, free political capital. So no political consensus forthcoming on how to deal with it...

> Defined by the percentage of the population earning less than half of the median national income,

I'm not sure I buy their definition of poverty. It speaks more about the income disparity than people living in without basic food and shelter covered, which I think the term implies. It might be more meaningful if it were the mean, but as is a few really high income earners would skew the results. I don't think using the medium makes sense as a calculation of poverty giving modern wealth distribution.

I had this idea in the back of my head to create an open source electric car based on existing ICE cars and with open source software, mechanics and electronics. That would be awesome if anyone can change/adapt build plans to different cars and if anyone would be able to iteratively improve the each other ideas and cost saving measures.
