The official advice is to keep neutralising it, collect the sludge and pour the waste water away.

> The solution must not be put down the drain because of residual copper ions left in it. To make it safe for disposal, you can add sodium carbonate (washing soda) or sodium hydroxide to it to neutralize it, until the pH value goes up to between 7.0 and 8.0, testing it with indicator paper. Copper will be deposited as a sludge. Allow the sludge to settle, pour off the liquid, further dilute it with water and then it can be poured down the drain. Collect the sludge in plastic bags and dispose of it as required by your local waste authority.

It’s worth noting that Walter White could have had cancer treatment under his insurance, he just wasn’t happy with the quality of it. (This was an important plot point — all along the road it was demonstrated that Walter
did have other options, but due to his pride and greed he didn’t take them.)

In countries with fully socialised medicine, if you’re not happy with the level of care provided you don’t even have the option of paying for better care.

The question of who owns a company is often open to interpretation. For example, which of the following is correct?

* Mark Zuckerberg owns ~25% of Facebook, because he owns ~25% of the outstanding shares.

* Mark Zuckerberg owns ~50% of Facebook, because he has a lot of special shares that end up giving him ~50% of the shareholder votes.

* Mark Zuckerberg owns Facebook in totality, because he runs the company and there’s no mechanism for anyone to force him out.

In this particular case, the authors and Huawei seem to agree about what’s on paper. The authors just don’t think that the structure Huawei calls “worker ownership” allows workers to actually decide what the company will do.
YC's Startup School had a good video lesson on just this topic.[0] It shows what kind of questions you must ask during a "customer interview" to see if you are building something that really solves a problem people will pay for. It's a bit disconcerting to think that you've gone ahead and built the MVP without that part...

A fork could be created just by taking the existing longest chain, and attempting to append a block to the frontiers blocks parent, or even to the frontier block itself. It's pretty simple. The time between blocks still is non-deterministic, and not often is there realistically a clear winner.

There existing n forks, even at a bare minimum of 3 forks of the same height is very common, especially if you consider how many miners there are in the entirety of the Bitcoin network.
Do Neural Language Representations Learn Physical Commonsense?
I don't think the above comment is put in the best way...

But I do have a certain duality about my feelings on Elixir

On one hand, yes, it is cool to see more adoption of BEAM, I do wish Erlang could have done that by itself.

I vastly prefer Erlang to Elixir and find it does slightly... taint the simplicity and cleanliness of the syntax Erlang made made me fall in love with, just to be Ruby-like.

I don't feel it actually benefits the language at all past the meta reason of attracting Ruby-ists (which again, isn't necessarily a bad thing by itself)
"The language should be simple – Simple in the sense that there should be a small number of basic principles, if these are right then the language will be powerful but easy to comprehend and use. Small is good."
The transparent wall between the Chinese Communist party and Huawei is clearly apparent at their response to Canada's actions against Meng Wanzhou (at the behest of USA).

China's extreme reaction (to the lawful action) is one that could be considered appropriate if Ms. Wanzhou wasn't an executive at a private corporation but a high ranking member of the government. China has responded as though it was an affront to the government.
So it’s claimed true for Russia and China. So what are the odds that it turns out it’s true of the United States too, and maybe it’s just easier for me to accept the other accusations based on brief HN comments simply because I’m from the United States and I’m used to hearing Russia and China described as enemies or opponents of the US?

I still think the new span of the Bay Bridge should have been named the Emperor Norton Memorial Bridge.
About 36 years ago I was abused by two camp counselors in one summer. One of them fractured my sternum when he punched me after I mouthed off. I still have the bony ridge and slightly deformed pectoral. But the other did much worse leaving me with lifelong emotional issues.

If you asked pre-teen me how I would deal with a grown man determined to abuse me, I would have talked tough. But when that time came, I froze like a rabbit in the presence of a coiled python. Over the course of my life when other victims shared their story with me, I am always reminded how shockingly easy it is to abuse a child. For the record, one of them ended the abuse when she gathered the strength to simply whimper the word "no".

For all the confused commenters that wonder why we have this cameras-everywhere trend, it is because there are a multitude of adults like me with their secret abuse stories. There just doesn't seem to be competing ideas on how to prevent child abuse.

At the very least if you are a dad, tell your child this, "if an adult harms you, I know it will be difficult but you must tell me. I'll probably get angry at first but I promise I'll calm down and I won't do anything rash, etc.". I just assumed my dad would lose his temper and either wind up in the hospital, jail, or both. But then again given the stigma of being an abused boy I probably still wouldn't talk which appears to be the norm and why it is so widespread.
Given that in the problem the value of r was fixed to 1000, the specific algorithm that would solve the problem instance would have been O(n) in terms of the input size.
Lisp/Scheme have almost the same number of parenthesis+curly brackets than C. The difference is than in C the closing curly bracket has it's own line, but in Lisp/Scheme they are put all together. (If you hate parenthesis, try Python.)

The main advantage of Lisp/Scheme are the macros. The s-expressions are good because they make writing macros much easier. You don't have to mentally translate from the real language to the internal representation while writing macros.

I made a quick search and Elixir has macros. Do you write macros in Elixir?

The short answer is that Lisp/Scheme had real macros before it was cool.

Life After Hadoop: Getting Data Science to Work for Your Business
And you cited something claiming trust in the medical system was 80% in 1973 and dropped to 39% in 2016, but I couldn't and you couldn't find the actual source of that 39% figure to find out what poll question(s) it was the result of. Without being able to see them, I suspect that the poll questions were different or were so vague that respondents' interpretations changed dramatically over 43 years.

61% might not trust the healthcare system in some sense; maybe they don't trust medical research studies, maybe they don't trust doctors to prescribe the lowest-cost effective treatment, maybe they don't trust that they can afford medical care, maybe they think the whole medical industry is conspiring to rip them off (approximately true). But I guarantee you if 100 people break their arms you'll see more than 39 of them in the ER. Same if they have the flu and the symptoms turn severe. Almost all of them will trust primary and ER care just fine, unless there are other considerations, and immigration status and fear of discovery is the most common consideration by far. One hears it constantly in immigration pieces on media like NPR.
China will be the ruin of us all. We were fools not to drop the bomb on China as Douglas MacArthur wanted.

They are growing so powerful and no one can stand against them. Hong Kong and Taiwan are both ultimately doomed to fall under Chinese control. I wonder how long until Africa is lost as well.

No, not the same at all. You cannot escape the Chinese government if you reach any kind of national success.

In the US you can fight the government and even side with the other party and try to get the president to lose their job.

Most know it's more profitable to ride a wave rather than to fight it.

Oh, for fuck's sake. Alexa not speaking Welsh is hardly a "horror story." Alexa doesn't speak your language? Don't buy it. It's not "[telling] you which language your family can speak at home," it's offering a service to the fattest part of the market first.

The revival of Welsh (and Welsh Wikipedia) is a wonderful thing, but the framing of the article is awful.

For what it's worth, I live in Hawaii, where the native language and culture (and government) were also brutally suppressed. Currently there are less than 10,000 native speakers of the Hawaiian language. There's been an uptick with the recent creation of Hawaiian-language immersion schools, though. You know what Wikipedia doesn't have? A Hawaiian version, even though it's named for a Hawaiian (wiki) word.
It's just not. Look at Apple's fight with the government over unlocking the iPhone as a recent example. Can you imagine a company is Russia or China fighting like that to keep secrets away?

One of the most striking things about Lisp for me is how concise it is. The excellent Lisp Tutor Jr [0] will give you several interactive examples that make you think in terms of shorter and simpler functions, which are the heart of Lisp programming. As PG has said, if you find that your function is more than a handful of lines long, you're probably not doing it right. The tutor app is a good training ground for thinking in Lisp this way and it might be the breakthrough you need...

I think you are correct in the issue here is the author is bad at interviewing and taking feedback. At the point where the interviewee didn't know the algorithm, he should have then moved on to another question and or ended the interview shortly after if that one answer was somehow the deal-breaker. The interviewer asked a question and the interviewee said he was not familiar. Interviewer proceeded to attempt to push him further.
In Australia/New Zealand if you are in the tech industry most employers will have a brown-out/embargo over the Christmas and New Year period. About 80% of staff will be off for those two weeks (6 days leave equals three weekends and two M-F weeks away).

What happens is the Telcos declare a brown-out/embargo [1] (in 2018 it was from 20 Dec to 7 January). The companies the next level up will follow (because they won't be able to do some network changes) and then the next layer up and so on.

The vast majority of other people will take breaks around the same time. Depends on the industry and what people are doing of course. But with many workers away the buses will run on weekend timetables and many CBD cafes will close.

Thank you for posting. The OP was informative but a few more points of nuance like this are needed for good surface level understanding. For me it's useful to remember also that people can see the issues themselves differently there for cultural reasons.

As a side note, ironically it seems like going for short trips there can sometimes illuminate less than reading on the subject or just knowing someone here with a foot in each culture.

I don't hear much geopolitical talk during business meetings nor while buying things at the market. I recommend buying a friend in the US (or wherever you live) lunch a few times. It can be a highly time-efficient way to digest the big picture and also subtleties.

The interference really was only the leaked Clinton emails, the facebook propaganda is just typical propaganda nobody really pays attention to unless it's to confirm their own bias, nobody anywhere changes their political opinion because of something they read on facebook. I doubt Russians had any real influence, the question is those leaked emails, which everybody wants to know the provenance. Personally I think it was just some DNC pro-Bernie activist staffer, who burned from the primary shenanigans decided to leak to Assange and not Russians, (because we all know those radical DNC tech staffers are bernie bros (now Yang shills) from SV) despite the nonsense indicators of compromise that the FBI never saw but was only provided by the DNC themselves. Even if you believe that was a major influencer I don't think so, as a neutral foreign observer of US politics I saw a wild card that the Americans were ready to put into office to 'disrupt' as a protest vote because if anybody remembers, they were only given two choices before the disruptor, Clinton 2.0 or Bush 3.0. They responded accordingly by pushing the maniac into power just to implode the system from what my foreign analysis indicates.

I think the most dangerous propaganda are the news propagandists from MSNBC and other networks who pretend to be from your specific subculture/groups, and then feed you lies and propaganda. That to me is the most dangerous, the Russian bots? nope everybody sees through cruise control shilling but when it's somebody from their own group in a news org and they're spouting lies it's a lot more difficult. I'm old so back in the 1990s news propaganda was just absolutely blatant, any kid could tell Norman General Swartzkopf(spelling) was making up bs about 'precision bombs' we all knew they were just landing wherever and blowing up Mother Theresa's Iraq orphanage by accident, but now it's different. The news corps discovered they need to recruit people from specific identities and use them as a weapon to feed lies to their subculture.

> I don't think there is hope for regularly educated people.

Maybe we should start by stopping to conflate being rational and wise with being 'educated'. As if going to college was some sort of panacea for all of our problems.

Lately I've started to think that higher education(particularly undergrad) has more in common with a cargo cult than many would like to admit.

Yes, gmail, calendar, youtube, etc. are slow and sometimes broken for weeks in various ways in FF.

Of course there likely won't ever be hard evidence that they are doing this deliberately. There are many ways for them to achieve this outcome without explicitly instructing their developers to degrade FF experience.

They can successfully bullshit most users that way, but for me this is just more reason to use FF more and Google less. I just hope there are enough other people with the same attitude for us to matter.

Thanos’ problem was that he never read a book on urban planning. Maybe he would have gotten around to it in his garden time had he not been interrupted.

But I would be totally down to watch a series about economic development during the blip (and after the blip!). If half of all people disappeared, you would probably see a massive surge in wages. But it might not be enough to keep society alive. Assuming they did solve for it, the post blip period would almost certainly result in massive global crises as countries which experienced heavy immigration are now overpopulated and countries which experienced mass emigration now have a lot of people with basically no societal infrastructure anymore.

So it seems like the whole comment is a repackaging and a commentary on someone else's opinion. I think it's an interesting thought exercise but it's also hard to derive what should one take away from this after reading.
Plenty of tech companies do.

Complete change freeze so you only need a minimum number of developers and ops people around. Although it is sometimes a good time of do that big CICD pipeline rebuild.

The lawyers, HR, finance and office support are down to minimal. Same with the cleaners (a good time to repaint the office though), internal IT, cafe and other support staff.

Sales will be down to minimal since all the customers will be on holiday. Customer support might be at normal or reduced level depending on industry.
The difference in voltage results a real difference is in the distribution and how the phases are delivered - due to the lower voltage limiting how far it's economical to distribute the last mile, the US has many smaller transformers (those big cans on poles that catch fire sometimes), whereas Europe has fewer bigger transformer stations.

Although this has the opposite effect - the 120V system is less fragile, since the points of failure are more distributed (a blown transformer will affect fewer customers).

How'd you arrive at this conclusion?

Wars happen when enough people are willing to sacrifice themselves and others. Leaders sacrifice their own, foot soldiers sacrifice themselves and their enemies.

What makes people willing to sacrifice? An opportunity/threat for a significant shift in quality of life. I don't think democracy, dictatorship or any other form of government or its customs make much of a difference at all.

You can have stable dictatorships and unstable democracies - it's got much more to do with luck and sometimes competence of the people at the top.

If anything it's so much the opposite in the US that it's a problem. Private interests calling the shots and writing their own laws to the detriment of the country has become standard procedure. The supreme court effectively legalized all but "quid pro quo" corruption a few years ago. The US military industrial complex has become so full of rent seeking entities its a wonder anything is successfully developed anymore. Look at the history of the f-35, it's a clear example of the sunk cost fallacy being weaponized against the strategic interests of the country.

Well Huawei is pretty specific about the internal governance procedures of the trade union committee, who the committee members or other trade union leaders are, and how they are selected. https://imgur.com/a/mEFkgna

It obviously doesn't mean that anyone should believe them. But for a journal piece to say "We know nothing" rather than "There are no means of independently verifying Huawei's claim" make it hard to take them seriously scientifically.
