It’s just another challenge in life like all the other ones. Once you’ve started dipping your toes in you slowly realize the state of homeostasis starts to feel a bit perverse. Obviously it feels good to be fed, but, like in other areas of life, if we never chose to find what our next frontier is and push our limits we won’t grow personally. Some people are fine with that obviously, but I’ve always been one to push my limits. Concretely though, I started with 16/8 then narrowed it down to like a 3 hour eating window then just decided I could go all out alternate day fasting. Now I do something like a 45 hour fast with 3 hour eating window, perpetually; and a 72 hour fast once a month.
Having a baby at home is silly given it has a higher mortality rate than in a hospital environment. I think after leaving the hospital have a helping hand is great as is before the birth with the pregnant mom's habits. However the most dangerous time is the actual birth and I would much rather have trained physicians around than a midwife.
Out of curiosity how do those conversations happen before the PR?

Asking because we might have a different process for PRs or a different definition of what it means to submit a PR - on many teams I’ve been on it’s been encouraged to publish a WIP PR in order to facilitate these conversations. GitHub recently added a feature to formalize that but before this we used labels such as “WIP” and “Ready for review”

Counter point - I walked past an artist putting up a new mural today because I live in a place with a lot of graffiti and people generally tolerate the bad stuff and enjoy the good stuff.

Japan has its own share of problems that you just don't see because you are not part of their culture, which is one of the most insular in the world (for better and worse). People in Japan are often no happier than anywhere else they just find their unhappiness in different ways. They have a lot of elderly dying alone in 70s era decrepit apartment blocks, and a lot of young people who have chronic agoraphobia (hikkomori). These are generally not Western/US problems.
I actually think the Pwc partner example is a poor one. Not all people that work at Pwc want to become partner as it necessitates 4 months/year of 7 day 94 hour work weeks for 8-12 years. Most people get the brand on their resume and then leave.
Slide 36 compares the TPU with a CPU/GPU. This is apples to oranges comparison. One uses an 8bit Integer multiply while the other uses a 32b Floating Point multiply which inherently uses at least >4X more energy[1]. If you scale the TPU by 4, it is not an order of magnitude better. The proper comparison should be between the TPU and an equivalent DSP doing 8b computations.
That would show if eliminating the energy consumed due to the Register File accesses is significant.I suspect most of the energy saving comes from having a huge on chip memory.

New York's new rat plan: ply rodents with alcohol and then drown them
There are fundamental rights, and they have to be black/white, because they protect the minority against the majority. For everything else, it is decided on by elected representatives.

If you operate in a political system where democracy can overrule all rights, it is not a liberal democracy. The US is a liberal democracy, and that is why the judge ruled that it was not constitutional, even though the democratically elected representatives put in place the watch-list. So here is a great example of liberty at play, even though the majority ruled to have a watch-list, it was ruled out because it went against the fundamental rights of a minority.

> You can pay service to "liberty" all you want, but I can't "give myself my own laws" that allow me to go against the state.

You can! You can freely renounce your citizenship and freely move elsewhere. The state is not allowed to hold you back from doing that.

Now, when it comes to secession, it gets more complicated. Some people argue it is a fundamental right, as per the constitution, that said, the wording is very vague and unclear about it. So we could say the constitution doesn't really guarantee that you are free to secede. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be a guaranteed right though! Some people think it should, and if it isn't there in the constitution, maybe it should be added.

> The state will always serve as an impediment against freedom and true self determination

That's the thing though. The state are just the powers that be. The idea of liberty and freedom are moral, which is why it requires a culture of it. While democracy is a system, not a moral. People who believe in liberty fight for it. That's fundamental to preserve freedom. The freedom to "give myself my own laws" should exist. Any person should be allowed to take their private property and secede from the US, and make it a new self-ruled region. If California wants out for example, they should be allowed to leave the union. Such would dictate the idea of liberty. But, it would work similar to copy-left open source licenses. In their new found independence, they need to continue to uphold liberty. If they do not, then it is a fundamental right that the newly governed should similarly fight for it until they have it.

So you see, it is much more an ideology. People should not be allowed to restrain your freedoms, unless what you are doing is forcing theirs to be restrained.

And this can work quite easily within a democracy. Basically, people assemble for all kind of matters, and decisions and rules are put in place in agreement with the majority, with the idea that it will benefit most. Once in a while though, it affects an individual negatively. It is that person's right to come forward and say that their liberty is being restrained from the ruling of the majority. If true, then the ruling should be abolished, even though it was beneficial to most people.
I hope something comes out of this one. Kitegen has been around 2006 and nothing to show for it.
Is there a reason there can't be a standard system of granting access to apps?
Most of those values you've mentioned equate to 'Don't try and change the status quo'. It should be obvious for a lot of people that when the status quo doesn't benefit them, they don't find value in what you've listed.

Especially this notion of 'working hard' which is almost purely a corporatist-favoring attitude nowadays. Work harder for no reward, and keep your head down because trying to earn more means you're a selfish millennial. What happened to the value of 'work smarter, not harder'?

Not patronizing, I think that's just empathy. Knowing that what you know isn't "known" just by being told. Otherwise you just end up dumping the contents of your 50 ft junk drawer (and your ego) on the floor of your open office space, and sure, maybe they sift through and find a few useful nicknacks to push them forward in their work. But they don't become better at discovering, collecting, or curating nicknacks.
I mean yes we literally don't know right now. I'm just saying given where our civilization is at, I think it's pretty safe to assume that we have a lot of room to grow here.

I don't get this. As an Android user, Google routinely leaves out features I'd like in their apps. I just use an alternative app. Sometimes it's very annoying because I want all the things on the same platform. But again, usually there's an alternative app I can use. Why not just use a different app? I mean, I get wanting everything in one app, but these quotes are a lot less "I wish my favorite app had this useful feature" and a lot more on the outrage side, which makes no sense considering the amount of features useful to 100% of the population that Apple continues to leave out.

>Apple notoriously ignored women's health issues as it developed previous versions of Health

Issues? Plural? Beyond menstruation tracking, what else is missing? Or is this just another example of story padding?

I guess I just don't understand why this is any different from any other missing feature from any app. Why is it apples responsibility to provide this feature?
It wasn't meant literally.

It's just the pattern that I've seen play out again and again, and which I can only assume happened here at least to some extent.

People here on HN largely recognize the tribalism effect, and once you've taken money, that will start to take hold. You've linked yourself to him and you will inevitably begin to identify with him as a result.

Note that if Epstein had genuinely been stricken by remorse, changed his ways, done his best to make amends to his victims, and was looking for a way to do good with his fortune, then I think taking the money makes perfect sense.

That obviously wasn't true here, though.

I would normally never tell someone this because it's generally very unimportant... But, in this case I think it's probably warranted, so that you know for the future. The word "boof" [0] has come to mean something very different in recent times.

That's nonsense, no where in the bill of rights does it stipulate "if you pay taxes..."
Well it appears his main source of "income" was embezzling funds from a small number of "clients" over whom he had power of attorney and mysterious leverage that most likely was due to having conned them into engaging in serious felonies where minors were the victims. No one in the investment world did business with him or knew where he was supposedly investing his money and tracing back his assets most of them are transfers from clients over whom he held some kind of leverage. So, it does seem like he was abusing minors as part of a scheme to shake down people he got to abuse minors. Thus, he was earning money from sexually exploiting children, probably. Of course all the cases are being dropped and all his money and assets have been transferred overseas and vanished for the most part so we'll never really know.

The featured professor implies credentials he doesn't have by describing himself as a "philosopher of science" when his actual degree is in philosophy, not any hard science. In fact he has no scientific or mathematic background whatsoever. Read his opinions with the same amount of skepticism you would apply to a post on 4chan, because he's exactly as credible.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.

Thematically consistent, you might say.
I want to be able to message with people while I (and they) have intermittent coverage. I live in an area with poor cell coverage, and it's difficult to use messengers that require me to be online while the app is open if I'm on the bus or the ferry. The worst is those that show notifications with partial messages, but then I can't read the whole message, because I'm in a dead zone.

SMS doesn't require me to have the app open while I have a working connection, and an SMS replacement shouldn't either.

But --- I think your perspective is reasonable too; there's a tradeoff here: offline experience, battery (maybe --- if you're going to get and process everything anyway, there is a difference in processing it in small batches vs one big batch, but it might not be that big), server visibility into types of messages, etc. Most phone OSes have a battery saver mode that disables background processing, so you can force this, but I personally disable that for the apps I want to work offline.
I will translate it to English myself once it's complete.
> the bulk of Epstein's wealth is "legitimate"

OK, how did he earn it? He didn't invest anywhere despite his claims to be running a hedge fund. Most of his assets were transfers from Wexler, or donations from leveraged associates laundered through charities. I've not seen any path through which he had any legitimate income or earnings at all.

500mg once daily, one meal a day intermittent fasting (dinner). Only coffee, Coke Zero, and water outside of dinner.
I'll clarify:

The batch of phones going out in 19 days is not a finished product. It's expected to be loose fitting, not have endcaps on the switches, not have properly functioning power management and updates have to be done using a terminal. That's beta hardware, at best.

The next few iterations are improvements on the beta hardware but still not yet a finished product until Evergreen. That speculatively Q2 2020 but they've been off by miles with all the previous delivery dates so I won't hold my breath. Until that hardware comes out, which is what a consumer grade product should be, the only hardware delivered will be various levels of beta/release candidate.

By then, you might as well wait a few months for the hardware refresh. I appreciate the goal and the work done and if the hardware was polished and all the pain points were software, I'd be singing a different tune. Software can be fixed after the fact but poor fit and finish on hardware is forever. (And I've been Linux-as-a-desktop since the latter half of the 90s, so I can take a lot of pain. I'm all in on a Linux phone but I'll go buy a dumb phone while I wait for v2.)
He proved this in the context of classical general relativity. Hawking radiation is a (semiclassical) quantum gravity effect which is remarkable for being able to break this classical result.

The identification of area with entropy doesn't mean that entropy decreases as a black hole evaporates, because the emitted particles carry the entropy.
True. If you want performance - you have to re-write the code for the new architecture otherwise it is pointless to develop the new core.

The problem with developing a good processor architecture is you have to always maintain legacy compatibility without sacrificing performance - because you know software.

This adds layers of extra HW with each passing generation of the processor lying around for some legacy code.
Yesh. This does not read well.

Among undergraduates, that rate was even higher: a shocking 21.2 deaths by suicide per 100,000 students.

In person, or for a remote job, with screensharing and online chats. In my current job, it generally starts with the implementer reaching out and saying, I want to achieve xyz and think about doing abc. That's how the conversation gets started. Granted, sometimes you need code examples already ready-made to gather meaningful feedback, but that can be personal branch, one-off patch, gist, WIP PR ... feedback can happen over slack, simple chat, comments on the WIP PR ... As long as the final ready-for-review PR doesn't catch the reviewers off guard in terms of overal design/approach.

It seems unlikely that the performance would be significantly better from implementing a filesystem in hardware, especially since current filesystems can store data in system memory as a cache, which is always going to be lower latency and higher bandwidth than an external device. It is also nice to be able to decide at runtime how much memory to allocate to the filesystem cache vs other uses.
I have the good fortune to work on an island surrounded by "super corals". The spawning this year seemed to be synchronized and right on schedule.

Life is adaptable, and while that does not excuse our behavior it does give me hope for the future of our reefs.

Reefs are the oldest ecosystems on the planet, they will survive the damage we are doing to the planet. Our species however may not.

If you are at all interested in coral conservation there are several organizations that organize reef cleanup, ghost net removal, and coral farming projects. I highly encourage you to consider volunteering some of your time during your next vacation. It's a rewarding activity that will also have you working in some of the most beautiful locations in the world.

Nobody (*) can imagine the vast market of construction materials and rocket fuel in refueling station on Earth orbit. That is, until some enterprising souls would invest and create some, and rise the hype enough to start building satellites and stations which would take advantage of that - after all, fuel and construction materials are the biggest parts by mass, and mass lifted from Earth costs pretty penny. The trick with pioneers is that they carry oxygen from the Moon, as well as titanium and aluminum - and that's the killer feature, allowing to drop prices safely below the abilities of Earth-based enterprises. Of course the profits are in part reinvested into growing the Moon base - which would be better called Moon settlement then.
