This is especially true if you're part of a couple.

If one of us finds a job in New York, Boston, or Chicago, there's probably something nearby for the other too.

GE had some interesting R&D jobs in Schenectady, but unless they hired both of us, it would be a lot tricker for the other spouse to find something relevant. US universities, which are often located in small towns, sometimes offer "spousal hires", where they either create a new position for one person, or at least give them some preference when hiring. I've never heard of a company doing that, but it would certainly pique our interest (anybody need a neuro/ML guy?)
They're a soup.

I suppose you have to pick a probability criteria for the diameter.
Impossible? Lol I have a handful of friends that do this. It's hard work but they make 5 to 6 figures consistently per year.

It's very very hard, and not everyone can do it. I tried and lost a lot of money. But it's definitely not impossible, that is simply a lie.
Insider info?

The Longer I live, the more I see people profiting off knowledge.

A personal example I see of this is in Tech. If you understand tech, you can find areas people don't understand. Those are what's worth investing or shorting.

Although if you are limited to day trades I'm not sure this is relevant.
It's a figure of speech.
Usually the radius of something like a proton or an atom takes the form of a parameter in an equation that just-so-happens to be measured in a unit of length. It's not defined specifically to be an indication of the extent of the particle, it just happens to roughly be about the right size.

This paper[0] says that it is defined in terms of a "probability amplitude that an interaction between a photon of four-momentum q^μ (Q2=−q2) and a charged constituent of the proton can absorb such a momentum with the proton remaining in its ground state." So, not exactly a radius, but "radius" is an okay conceptual mnemonic.

Are you saying that Facebook alone somehow makes sufficient profits to convince an entire country to vote for favorable policies? Including the thousands of businesses, shelling out $1 trillion+ for private health insurance coverage?

Facebook owns $50b of the ad market revenue. So, yes? The company literally is built on selling ads to target demographics.
hope they would, yes. trust them to, no.
The trick with a lot of smaller markets is that they're easily manipulated. You try to trend-follow and just get exploited by pump-and-dumps.

Of course, but I'm referring more to comprehensive works in which the details matter, rather than a "one big idea explained in 200 pages" book.
While it is never safe to affirm that the future of Physical Science has no marvels in store even more astonishing than those of the past, it seems probable that most of the grand underlying principles have been firmly established and that further advances are to be sought chiefly in the rigorous application of these principles to all the phenomena which come under our notice. It is here that the science of measurement shows its importance — where quantitative work is more to be desired than qualitative work. An eminent physicist remarked that the future truths of physical science are to be looked for in the sixth place of decimals.

This is the weirdest thread I've seen on HN, just pay a little money to Gusto or similar to do this. You are talking about barely any cost to have someone else do it who does it all the time.

If you don't have the money to pay $50 bucks then do it yourself and just worry less. The chance you mess up is so low it isn't even a thing.
How can it get an image without a detector or something on the other side of the object? Is it just capturing reflected back x-rays?
Thanks for the clarification. I misread your comment, too, so odds are it wasn't as clear as it could be.
I don't think so; my point was that regardless of your billing rate and even in the extreme, the absence of an employer is always a crippling factor. Telling people they can make their way to the top by working harder is a fantasy. There's no freedom at the top.

Perhaps your state had a $1k/mo option for insurance, mine did not. Even at $5k/mo (if I had it) plans would not cover an emergency. None of the plans available to the self-employed would.

I mean you may as well say: Study shows it is impossible for an individual to build a tech start up as a living.

Just because something is hard doesn't mean it's impossible. Day trading, like many other risky ventures, is something that is very hard and unlikely but for the few who succeed ends up being very profitable.
Sure; there are always edge cases. Non-straightforward situations like this are exactly the reason judges exist, if it comes down to it.

If they ran a marketplace they would have competitive bids from drivers, customers could negotiate it choose drivers, etc.

They have literally none of the hallmarks of being a marketplace.
All things considered, "5 figures" seems like a pretty low income for something that is "very very hard", and risky. Seems like if you have the skills and tenacity to day trade like that you could find some other job to pay you high 5 figures with a more stability.
Five years seems reasonable to me. The further out they get, the harder it gets for them to provide support—they're dependent on chipset vendors for up-to-date drivers.

I'll be interested to see what options there will be at the five-year mark: I'd guess that there would be options for non-official firmware.
Pervasive surveillance also takes responsibility and knowledge of their rights, out of the hands of the average person. Witnessing should lead to empathy, the imagination that the same thing could happen to me, and if I think that would be wrong, I need to call out that wrongness when it happens to others. That is civility. That is how we build trust. That is foundational whether it's the average person or the average lawmaker or the average police person.

When we're carving out areas of society where we accept less trust, then we can only lose trust, and that area becomes dangerous to us and a safe haven for corruption.

the misinformation that the City somehow lives outside UK law seems to be common on the internet

the City is a glorified borough council with a long complicated history, which has granted it a large bank balance, weird electoral franchise, small police force, and an observer in Parliament

every business in the City follows the same set of laws as those a 10 miles away in Croydon, other than local bylaws (laws on things like littering and dog mess)
That is an excellent question!

The definition is somewhat arbitrary, but still has some real physical significance. In actual fact, a proton is a field, so it doesn't have sharp boundaries. But the amplitude of the field still dies off very rapidly with distance from the center, so you can pick some arbitrary small value and say "the point at which the amplitude becomes less than this value is the radius of the proton". What matters is not really the number that you get out of this, but the fact that the experimental results of measuring this value appeared to change in the presence of muons. This was a phenomenon that was not predicted by present theory, and if it had held up, would have been a major breakthrough. One of the biggest problems in physics right now is that there are no experiments (except possibly this one) whose results are at odds with the Standard Model. That makes it hard to improve the model!

Look at either side of the political spectrum and you'll see clickbait garbage. They shouldn't be a barometer for correctness.

There are basically only two things that are going to slow/stop the rise in CO2 emissions: shift to low/no-carbon sources of energy, including natural gas and nuclear, and retool transportation networks to favour electric wherever possible. Obviously planes will be running on kerosene for the foreseeable future, but cars, trucks, and ships could all be electric within a quarter century.

Eating less/no meat is a perfectly acceptable ethical choice, but it should be divorced form serious discussion of the root causes of carbon emissions.

Depends on the particle! Electrons are considered to be point particles with an infinitesimal radius. A proton, however, is made of three bound quarks, which all whiz around each other within a small but finite region. By bouncing things off the proton, as is done in scattering experiments, a notion of how large that region occupied by the quarks is can be determined.
From the article:

> an electron [...] spends part of its time inside the proton (which is a constellation of elementary particles called quarks and gluons, with a lot of empty space).

>If you run 1000 experiments over the course of your career, and you get a significant effect (p < .05) in 95 of those experiments

I'm all for criticism of p-values, but when I read a lot of critiques, I get to this point and simply stop reading.

No statistics text book that I've read assigns the magic value of p=0.05 and labels it as significant. All the ones I've read tell you to pick a p-value appropriate to your experiment. Yes, I get it that many social scientists don't have much of a clue and use 0.05 as some special threshold, but let's direct the criticism to the guilty parties, instead of blaming a statistical methodology.

I mean, we all know people who misuse the mean ("the average number of breasts a person has is 1") and ignore the shape of the distribution and the standard deviation. Yet we don't say "Let's stop using the mean!"

Having started with just the Telegraph, my rotation was Guardian, Telegraph and FT in the 90s and 00s. They all had a view, but I hesitate to say any of them were biased. The Telegraph has become very biased. I have to go to Reuters now for right of centre honesty.

The FT was sometimes surprisingly soft-left, but firmly economic in outlook. Telegraph firmly Tory, of all variants, until the Barclays bought them in the early or mid 00s. Downhill aiming to get below the Mail ever since. Dishonest, biased and populist, but no longer Tory. Populist, disingenuous Boris was well suited for writing his columns on made-up EU outrages.

You know where I think the Guardian sat, where the Liberals once were. Sure, there were some strident leftist pieces, but it was uncommon, just as the current incarnation has some strident (and often particularly naive) leftist pieces from Owen Jones. They don't have the couple of leftist heavyweight characters they once had though, and Owen isn't in the same league...

Heck, they supported Thatcher and the first Gulf war, albeit with some doubts.

A better way to put it is that day-trading is like gambling. You always lose money in the long run, even if you have spurts of success.
I view this as a similar question to: "If hackers become more sophisticated, how will we stop them?"

> Monero is a fairly popular privacy coin too.

I'll look into that. At first glance some of the privacy claims seem a bit strange, but I haven't looked at the proofs enough to be sure.

> That’s still fairly public and you might not want that. But unlike a bank there is nothing linking those addresses to any individual, no name, address and phone number is associated. Plus you can receive funds to a different address every time, so you don’t have to use the same one for each transaction.

Okay, but trivially this allows you to trace transactions back to institutions (i.e. Coinbase) which are tied into the traditional banking system just like banks--unless you put your coins through a tumbler, coins purchased from an exchange are exactly as private as traditional currency at a bank. Arguably less private, since coin exchanges are under more scrutiny right now than banks.

And unlike banks, if you expose a receiving address for transactions tied to your name, you're exposing every transaction you receive. You're depending on pseudonymity for anonymity, which doesn't work if the only reason you're receiving coins in the first place is a reputation tied to your name. And if a pseudonym can build up enough reputation to receive coins (i.e. Dread Pirate Roberts) then all you have to do to break the anonymity is to tie the pseudonym to the person (we know all the transactions received by Ross Ulbricht because they were received pseudonymously not anonymously, so knowing Dread Pirate Roberts = Ross Ulbricht tells us all the transactions Ross Ulbricht received). In short, pseudonymity is not anonymity.

> The main issue with crypto is the confirmation time, but 0-conf is probably acceptable in the same way contactless is for small things.

There isn't a single "main issue" with crypto--it just has properties, and people only have issues with it if they use crypto for purposes where those properties are unsuitable. If you use Bitcoin for anonymity, your main issue is that Bitcoin isn't anonymous, but that's your main issue, not the main issue with Bitcoin.

I personally have never used cryptocurrency for anything where I cared about waiting for 6 confirmations.

Are you implying you've seen it?
If you have commits:

(start) <- A <- B <- C <- D <- E

and you want to see the combined effect of, say, A C D:

1. make a branch at "start", i.e. at the previous of A

2. cherrypick A C D onto it

3. diff your branch with "start".

They discuss a problem in the article where you want to see the sum of diffs from separate branches and it's not clear which change should be diffed first, or what if they conflict.

This problem is solved using this branch/cherrypick/diff method because the order in which you cherrypick the commits is the order you'll see in the diffs; if you don't like that order, do the cherrypick in a different order.

Yeah, I totally get it now; it's kinda funny because I don't think of the ACA as even being universal healthcare, so what I was trying to say was "I live in the US so I don't know as much about Europe's various healthcare systems as folks who live there, but this is what I know about it", thinking it would be obvious. Oh well! I'll be more careful next time.

If you take Jan 1, 2013 to Dec 31st, 2015, the Brazillian stock market did very, very poorly. That probably explains why it was nearly impossible since most traders are probably long, not short the market. So even taking 1 day positions in stocks, still on average over 3 years will experience signifigant downward price pressure.

That said, the fact that the market is bad, is just randomness and shows one of the major difficulties with relying on investment income to support your life. Sometimes stuff just sucks, for very long periods of time. Meanwhile you must pay your bills.

That doesn't even get in to whether or not these people dramatically underperformed the market. They very likely did, but I also bet some of them outperformed based on luck or skill.

Stock market investing is something everyone should try at somepoint in small doses just to understand how difficult it is. Its probably the hardest way to make money in the world and even the best investors usually have a bad few years which ends their careers.
