Queens of Country Share Music Videos on YouTube Expanding the Genre
Tenille Townes hit “Somebody’s Daughter,” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36GhNNoYfOU) and Eileen Carey's “Meet Me Halfway” (http://bit.ly/MeetMeHalfwayEC) are only two examples of a larger movement towards female country singers expanding what sort of topics can be highlighted in country music.

Music trends are often fleeting, changing frequently, but one thing is for sure: this year the women of country music are putting work in to redefine their genre. Tenille Townes made waves with her hit “Somebody’s Daughter,” which opened up a difficult discussion about the life stories behind the people standing on corners with cardboard signs. Also in an effort to open a dialogue about a current social issue, country singer-songwriter Eileen Carey speaks out about overwhelming screen time in her song “Meet Me Halfway.” The Track doesn’t diss social media and digital use, but instead politely asks that people put in some effort to reconnect with reality.

It is an empowering and refreshing change, and will be very interesting to see the trend unfold as more artists find their own ways to speak out on important topics and move away from the traditional topics of country music: love, heartbreak, and being “country.”

Eileen Carey, in particular, has been doing this for some time, and will definitely be a reoccurring artist on country music charts. The links below can help you learn more about her:

There's always one guy saying this, but CRTs aren't supposed to look like that. You can clearly see the pixels; they're certainly not emphasized, but if they're that blurry, it's because you need glasses.

With near record low interest rates, after a decade long economic growth cycle, we are back to running $ trillion and growing deficits each year, at the peak of the cycle. In a few years, assuming current rates and no recession, interest on the debt will exceed military spending [0]. Imagine what happens when we do have a recession and much bigger deficits.

Mandatory spending items will at some point soon crowd out all other spending. This comes at a time when, over the last 4 or 5 years, foreign creditors have stopped financing our deficit by buying ever growing quantities of US treasuries. So, for the first time in decades, US domestic private sector will be tasked with financing their own spending.

It is about to matter very soon, as baby boomers retire en masse. The endless talk of government spending leading to inflation didn't manifest (except in asset prices) because foreigners recycled their surpluses into treasuries. That this has mostly stopped will change the dynamic. The Fed will need to monetize the debt (resume QE) because there is simply too much treasury issuance, and growing, to be funded by US domestic sector alone, either in taxes or buying bonds.

If you look up last couple years US debt issuance has been bought up mostly by private sector, while central banks are buying gold. Recipe for it being the bond bull market peak and that debt being paid back in nominal but lower real terms = inflation. The only way to retire the massive and growing federal debt. Call it MMT or whatever you want, but it's coming. The loser will be the $.

> Universal automatic voter registration. Like every other mature democracy.

Exactly this. Every citizen should be automatically able to vote without any effort on their 18th birthday. I personally think it shouldn’t even require being 18, but should be permitted if elections are happening during your 18th year, but you haven’t hit your birthday yet—nobody turning 18 in 2020 should be unable to vote for the next president just because their birthday is after Election Day. We should be doing all we can, on the public dime, to the point of begging and dragging people to the nearest booth to participate in their government.

I think post offices are the perfect first place to look to for handling this. Far more citizens live in close proximity to a post office than a dmv. And as needs require and areas permit, we can look to libraries, state universities, and community colleges as additional points where one can handle voting needs—even casting ballots.
Bolsonaro's government is run by military people, and this is the language that they commonly use. This is not the first time that we see Bolsonaro framing certain groups in Brazil as "threats" that need to be "contained" or "destroyed".
> And, if you look at inflation-adjusted metrics, that growth is very minor.

Baloney. Take a look at a graph of US federal deficit as a percentage of GDP. In 2018 the deficit was 3.8% of GDP, in 2019 it's expected to be 5.1%. If those were the values during a recession, that would be understandable, but during what is supposed to be a "great, amazing" economy, those structurally high values is what scares people.

That's exactly what it's doing. If you watch the video at the bottom you can see a comparison of the "smooth" print vs the normal fixed layer approach. Three things on this:

1) In general, you set the number of layers above and below the supports that you want when printing so that the variability of the support layer gets smoothed out. It seems like this should be possible here as well.

2) End products of 3D printing, especially for things like props/costumes, almost always have to be post-processed via sanding, filler epoxy, and/or primer filler paints before they're considered good enough for actual use. This process could make that post-processing step a lot faster.

3) This process is specifically for FDM printers. On an SLA/DLP printer, you would mitigate the stepping issue by lowering your layer height (layers in the example here look quite high - SLA/DLP would probably be 1/10 the height)

I kind of get the sense Baez is being polite and humble there, not wanting to say something is nonsense if others seem to find value in it.

That said, I think I agree with Baez about the actual mathematical content of the paper. That is, the proof is fine, but the way they try to formalize "model" seems so weak as to be useless. The definition used in the proof is that R is a model of S if the state of S determines the state of R. There's nothing about preserving the fidelity of those states.

edit: Maybe the clearest way I can put this confusion is that a regulator based on measurement of the system it's regulating is a "model" per the paper. The authors choose a formalism which sounds like it was more common at the time that describes the regulation as a function of "disturbances"/inputs only. Through this lens their definition of model makes more sense to me, but only in those cases where there is no measurement or feedback.
One step further (multi-layer Manhattan distance) will also get you optimal DNA, RNA and protein sequence alignment (Myers, Gotoh and others, 1977-1981). The edit path (often discarded) can be repurposed for simulating RNA and protein folding, as well as calculating DNA melting points (used for DNA-DNA hybridization studies).

Everyone has an opinion on why Amazon is a monopoly and should be broken up, but this is what they don't think about. I trust Amazon not to get breached. No one is infallible, but tech is their thing.

I have no interest however, in further increasing the amount of online shopping accounts I maintain, because that means I have to keep tabs on the shenanigans of even more, highly technically incompetent, companies to know if I've been compromised.
Your game looks great, and so do many other indie games with low budgets like Stardew Valley and Axiom Verge to name just a few examples, even though there are many more.

Vogel just isn't willing to put in time and money into visuals because it's probably a combination of it 1. not being a priority for him and 2. lacking the skill for visual design (not necessarily implementing it, but just having an eye for it) which is probably also due to the point #1

There is two methods that can be done by removing the electoral college that have vastly different results. First, without "removing" the electoral college, just deem that all electoral votes from a state are proportionate to that state's popular vote. So if a state is split 50-50 then electoral votes are split 50-50. The 2nd method is awarding all the state's electoral votes based on who wins the popular vote. This gives a vastly different outcome if only a few states implement this. It means even if you win even 80 percent of the votes of that state but lose the national popular vote then you still lose that state. I've seen more news about states leaning towards the 2nd option which is actually much worse than the electoral college in its current state.
Victims of abuse? Do you honestly believe that people that show up at a lawful port of entry are instantly put into cages while they wait? The people that were talking about are the people that got caught trying to cross in the middle of the desert. We give them food and shelter after they just broke our laws and you call that abuse?
How are you doing to deal with 11-30 million of people who are here illegally/visa overstays/etc? What about people who are in SF but were born in Maine and need a birth certificate from the county court house to get that "government issued key"? (The Maine court house would need that key to issue a certificate though ).

If we are claiming that it is too difficult for people especially poor people to get a current state photo ID ( which is why we do not want to mandate it for voting ) what are we going to do with 20-30% of the US population that won't have a key?

Ask HN: Where is the difference between technology and politics?
Because I don't see any.

Don't you think it's all about decisions and how much common sense you actually put into the systems you build?

When people enrage here about how "political" technology discussions can get I don't understand their surprise.

We're talking about the lives of millions of people and how they are getting affected.
We're talking about power, and control.

That's the mains reasons why I see no point in censoring those topics, that are expressing more broadly the implications of the things happening.

Now,

What I'm asking for is to get your input about how we should design a due process to manage how far one can go in the usage of a discussion platform.

A due process yes, in comparison to the unilateral censorship decisions by a few unelected technocrats and a cast of old fat regulars sitting on their karma points, that would put a greater faith in the system.

Can you even imagine this or is it too hard to picture another way of running the business of structured discussions?

Ask HN: Applying to Work in a Different State
I’m currently working in state A and would like to move to state B. I’ve been applying to jobs in State B however after many filled out applications I’m having trouble getting a call back. Also just graduating and taking on an IT role for 3 months probably won’t help my case when looking to move. I’ll keep it short I’m not happy at my current place and dread it every day, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
The key point to me was that since earth is spinning about 28 times faster than the moon rotates around us, the drag force equalizes the frequencies by making earth spin slower, and the moon rotate faster, thus further away from us. Eventually they'd be in equilibrium, spinning in lockstep.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'll probably stick to (trying to) meditate after work. It gives me a nice break to switch brain modes. Plus I'm not a morning person so I don't have time in the morning. :)
Cynically, this means the rest of the world is doing that much worse that the US, for all its issues, is seen as a safe haven for parking your money. Alternatively, there's more capital floating around than there are reasonably safe investment vehicles with better ROI than US treasuries.
>In an infinite number of universes, an infinite amount of possibilities exist. That means, in any given unverse, ANYTHING can and will happen.

Not necessarily. An infinite set can still have bounded properties, and probability doesn't work that way.

For instance, the set of even natural numbers is infinite, yet they still never contain an odd number.

So it's entirely possible, even within an infinite set of infinite universes, for some events to never occur.
This is a very common misunderstanding based on the sloppy way people tend to explain Many Worlds. In the Many Worlds picture, branching of wave functions isn’t built into the basic postulates of QM. Not every quantum event results in branching.

Branching an emergent property of large systems. Consider the following:

* I have a qbit in a superposition for 0 and 1

* I as a large, hot, wet macroscopic system interact with that qbit in such a way that my future behaviour depends on the state of that qbit (say if I measure it to be 1 I shoot myself and if I get 0 I go for a walk)

If I try to measure the qbit, I become entangled with it. According to unitary evolution, my wave function would be an entangled superposition of the two events. However, for macroscopic systems entanglement and superpositions are basically meaningless. I couldn’t do an interferometry experiment on my body that would determine if I’m in a entangled state so a many worlds person would say that the wave function of be unvierse has effectively branched into two parts that never very little overlap or influence on each other.

——————————————————

Maybe this analogy will help: If I have a cup of water and we look at it on a macroscopic scale, there’s a very clear difference between the liquid and the air above it. There’s a division. However, if you zoom in, that division becomes very fuzzy. There’s a region near the waters surface where air molecules and water molecules freely mix and interact and there’s actually a somewhat smooth crossover between the air and water. So the phase separation between a cup of water and the air above it isn’t a fundamental part of the rules of physics. It’s just an emergent behaviour like the branching of the wave function.
I agree with the overall sentiment as well. However, 300 hours of study to go from 0 to single & multivariable calculus plus linear algebra doesn't actually sound that bad. 10 hours per week (2 hours per day post work, make up missed days on the weekend) for 30 weeks?
Is this necessarily a bad thing? Is there anything wrong with the Facebook/Twitter/whatever social media crowd moving to the indieweb and running their own sites or what not? Should those who aren't technical/determined enough be screwed over by large corporations operating walled gardens?

Having interesting things to say doesn't necessarily correlate with being willing to overcome barriers to entry, and I feel independent blogs and sites by non technical users could bring all kinds of new perspectives you might not hear otherwise.
> Except a very large fraction of people don't think this way (eg. those with aphantasia)

I don't think it's accurate to say that aphants don't have this type of sensory information at their disposal. I have aphantasia, but I still experience the world through my senses. I may not be able to visualize a cat in my mind's eye, but based on my prior experiences with cats, I know a cat when I see one. If I hear purring, I recognize that as a sound that cats I've encountered in the past have made, etc.

Yeah, young people rarely show signs of atherosclerosis because it's a disease that takes a while to accumulate.

https://academic.oup.com/aje/article-abstract/95/1/26/167903

> The coronary arteries showed intimal thickening by atherosclerosis which equaled that of old U.S. men.

This one was brilliant. If you read the whole study, even the 18 year olds are affected. One 25 year old died of congestive failure.

> The hearts and aortae of 50 Masai men were collected at autopsy. These pastoral people are exceptionally active and fit and they consume diets of milk and meat. The intake of animal fat exceeds that of American men. Measurements of the aorta showed extensive atherosclerosis with lipid infiltration and fibrous changes but very few complicated lesions. The coronary arteries showed intimal thickening by atherosclerosis which equaled that of old U.S. men. The Masai vessels enlarge with age to more than compensate for this disease. It is speculated that the Masai are protected from their atherosclerosis by physical fitness which causes their coronary vessels to be capacious.
And they're not perfect either.

MMT disagrees with the entire premise of your comment. The “why is this happening” podcast has an excellent explanation.
The president's new outrageous tweet / orange man = bad, another wedding blown up in some middle eastern country, someone famous said something inappropriate / groped someone that got them fired, earthquake/fire/tsunami wiped out a few thousand people in some distant land, another school got shot up, "clear signs we're in a bubble" and the market is about to crash, something generic about Silicon Valley's hubris, something about how another oppressed group is being screwed over etc etc.

I don't think we're really meant as a species for this constant stream of depressing information we can't act upon, it's not good for us. Apathy seems like the only natural response to this barrage of stressors.
