Multi-threading is not a good analogy. If you think of the conscious brain as a hyper-visor which is switching execution context between multiple virtual machines, the analogy sticks slightly better. Running too many VMs (on what seems like a single core processor) will slow things down and is akin to context-switching between "neural activities". It's a whole host of things that the processor needs to setup before executing instructions in a sandbox. Switching between threads is cheap and the conscious brain does it all the time, even when you're focused on a single task.

But it's all so relative and comparing it to a "computer" and claiming it's not efficient is not fair. In fact, I'd argue that the human brain is a lot more efficient at handling tasks because not only is it executing instructions, it's constantly learning and programming the next set of instructions.
I'd rather not. Most political stories get flagged to death unless there's something specifically interesting about them that HNers would find interesting.

Unfortunately, we occasionally end up with something like this, where it _is_ interesting from a public/private policy perspective, but the political aspects are too strong and overcome that.
Keep in mind that movies on flights are sometimes edited and they don't tell you. They especially remove any scenes involving plane crashes.

So you know, you might be missing some critical scenes in some movies. :)
Two words “eminent domain”. The government, both federal and state (depending on the state) can absolutely obtain your land with zero recourse. They’ll pay you for it, but you don’t get a choice.
I haven't even made a firm argument yet. I'm trying to find out what's actually in the balance so I can make an informed decision.

It may well be that there's no major downside for the US, or for anyone except China. If you can show me evidence of that, I'd love to see it! But this administration has a history of rash, unconsidered actions based on nothing more than pride, so I don't think it's unreasonable to want to see that evidence before I take them at their word.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing. High iron consumption appears to be at the nexus of a vast array of diseases from colon cancer to Alzheimer's. As for Calcium there's really no evidence of it strengthening bones. And high consumption is probably causally increases CVD mortality.

The difference is the work is actually hurting your dad (arthritis) and your choice of sedation is doing it to you. The past few offices I’ve worked in all had gyms. Healthy food options are a must for office jobs.

I’m saying this as a office worker who’s lost 15 pounds by diet change small walks. Looking to add some days at the gym soon.

This could be an interesting Science Fair experiment:

1. Get the following from Amazon (or your favorite online store) NaoH, $14 (https://www.amazon.com/FDC-99-Pure-Sodium-Hydroxide/dp/B013K...). Also get Na2SO3, $16 (https://www.amazon.com/Sodium-Sulfite-Na2SO3-Powder-Space-Sa...) and deionized water, $24 (https://www.amazon.com/Deionized-Water-Gallon-ASTM-Type/dp/B...)

2. Get an oak block (See paper for other types of woods that can be used) from Home Depot, $14 (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Builders-Choice-1-in-x-2-in-x-8-...)

3. Place 2.5M NaOH and 0.4M Na2SO3 in a pot, boil. Place small block of oak in it. Boil for 7 hours. Of course, should do this outdoors or in a hood.

4. In a separate container bring ionized water to boil, immerse piece of wood several times in it.

5. Press wood block perpendicular to the wood growth direction at 100 °C under a pressure of about 5 MPa (~50x atmospheric pressure) for about 1 day

6. You have your super wood to test

Step 3 is possible for hard-core science fans to do at home, Step 5 is problematic for that scenario.

Aren’t you arguing against your point? You cut down the amount of calories in and you increased calorie expenditure. You probably also gained lean muscle mass that helped to increase your basal metabolic rate.

This goes more to show what everyone knows based on accepted science.
Not an ad, just my experience: I googled the company, Valisure, that was mentioned in this article and another in the NYT. In addition to selling drugs that they've tested, they'll also take a sample and test your own prescriptions. Price is $40 for their "impurities/carcinogen" analysis. Worry may well be overblown at this point, but my kid was prescribed ranitidine and some peace of mind is worth 40 bucks to me.

We already have a method to get rid of stories we don't like: the flag link. If a story that you personally find offensive doesn't get flagged -> dead, then perhaps the HNers on average do want to see that kind of thing.

You make a good point that the impending 2020 election is bringing out a lot of this stuff, but you can't effectively separate politics from tech. They each affect each other greatly, and I don't want to have to go digging for stories. I like that everything is in one simple list. If I don't like the tone of a particular article/thread, I can simply not engage, and move on to the next one.

Even if we did do this, reasonable people could (and would!) disagree as to what's tech-focused enough to be on the non-politics page vs. what should be relegated to the politics page. We'd be exchanging one set of annoyances for another, while complicating the site.

And at the end of the day, the mods should/will take care of things when they get out of hand.
Population growth rates aren't irrelevant, as Japan's example should show. As the demographic pyramid stops being a pyramid and the retirees start outnumbering the 20-somethings, burdens to health care and other systems start to add up fast.

If your population keeps growing, you can keep some semblance of a pyramid shape. But if it's stagnant, and your people reliably survive into old age...

Passive stock funds have consistently beat actively managed funds for decades, in part due to the high fees actively managed funds charge.

I think the author was trying to point out that Scala has type system features, like Higher-kinded types, which (although very useful in practice IMHO) are non-existent in other mainstream languages, including TypeScript.

I think that's a legitimate and, most importantly, factually correct point to make.

If you're interested in what these "Higher-kinded types" are:

Nintendo's RGB palettes have typically been what many would call "crap". Probably the NES Classic got closest. Wii VC was way too dark. None of them too horribly accurate.

I don't think they used PCX along the way at all. At one point, they'd digitize graphics by using LEDs to scan filled-in graph paper, one tile at a time. I think the closest Nintendo ever got to actually having an official RGB palette for the NES in the old days was the RGB PPU palette (which was very, very different from the colors output by the composite PPU).

The NES PPU is fairly well understood, and palettes can actually be calculated based on that (as opposed to some of the user-created palettes done with visual analysis). All of Nintendo's RGB palettes (AFAIK) are known and dumped.

That quote from the article is about "parcel traffic to the US" not from the US. The next sentence is the relevant one to your argument, I think: "U.S.-based international shippers will also pay more, at least over the short-term, because USPS will cancel negotiated service agreements (NSA) covering international shipments if the withdrawal takes place, White said."
The way this whole thing started was between very urban Ivies in the USA:

> The first organized college sports club was formed in 1843 when Yale University created a boat club.[4] Harvard University then followed in their footsteps, creating a similar boat club a year later. These boat clubs participated in rowing races called Regattas.[5] The creation of these organizations set the stage for the first intercollegiate sporting event in the U.S. This event took place in 1852, when the rowing team from Yale competed against the rowing team from Harvard at Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire.[4] This marked the beginning of intercollegiate competition and triggered the creation of numerous college athletic organizations.[citation needed] This historic race sparked the venerable rivalry between the two schools, the Yale-Harvard Regatta is considered the cornerstone of intercollegiate athletic competition in the United States.[6]

...

> The first intercollegiate football game between teams from Rutgers College (now Rutgers University) and the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) took place on November 6, 1869 at College Field (now the site of the College Avenue Gymnasium at Rutgers University) in New Brunswick, New Jersey.[citation needed]

If you delve into it, you'll find that even Football was pretty much an upper crust ivy league thing until well into the 20th century.
Yeah. To weigh 300 pounds you need to consume so many calories a day.

To weigh 200 pounds, you need to consume a different number of calories.

If you weigh 300 and start eating the 200 pound amount, you will lose weight. Slower over time as the difference between your weight and your consumption becomes less.

Once you reach 200 pounds, you won't continue to lose weight.
Downvoter you confuse me. Either you've downvoted it because it is anecdata which is fair or you have discovered your personal market value and would rather not acknowledge that to yourself, thus making the "downvote" the way you can become at peace with that.

The statement about "modest" effect was, by my reading, about the 1990s, and the link to the study "[9]" seems to verify this.

"Although improvements in medical care were the main force for declines in infant mortality during the second half of the century, public health actions played a role. During the 1990s, a greater than 50% decline in SIDS rates (attributed to the recommendation that infants be placed to sleep on their backs) has helped to reduce the overall infant mortality rate (8). The reduction in vaccine-preventable diseases (e.g., diphtheria, tetanus, measles, poliomyelitis, and Haemophilus influenzae type b meningitis) has reduced infant morbidity and has had a modest effect on infant mortality (9)."

The whole Type thing in Python and all the workarounds to make Python type-safish looks and feels absolutely pathetic. I have no idea why a company like Facebook takes so much time to apologize for the inadequacy of Python as a programming language in the broader sense. Especially since they are utilizing a service based architecture they easily could make the switch to a language that actually supports types.
Also the obvious performance gains...
I have had a few teachers who allocated points of the overall grade for attendance and/or participation. I don't entirely disagree with this approach; in some cases students can do better in school with the right nudge.

The tracking methods range from the low-fi to the high-tech: from a paper attendance checklist, to a Scantron sheet, to iClicker "student response system", to clicking buttons in an online portal.

But I do feel uncomfortable with the escalation of technology being used to perform this task. Scantron sheets being fed into auto-dialers that can call the wrong parent if the teacher bubbles the wrong line. And now, some schools are now running pilots using facial recognition attendance systems.
Practical upshot presumably being the end user will pay more for shipping instead of it being subsidized at the tax level by everyone. For better or worse.

I'm not into emulation at all, but I wonder how low level the passive LCD panels were software controlled in game or system ROM?

The wikipedia page on Walsh functions says:

>They are also used in passive LCD panels as X and Y binary driving waveforms where the autocorrelation between X and Y can be made minimal for pixels that are off.

Not sure how applicable that is on which of the systems you are considering. Sorry for the rabbit hole ;)

This is like saying we've been 'programming' since Ada Lovelace wrote the first program in the 1840, which is silly to say the least. The CDC starts measure after a vaccine has passed the 'licensure' process: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/su6004a9.htm
not in the time slice way we programmer usually think when taking about multi threading, but how many times you let a problem be only too have an epiphany some time later? background thinking is very real and albeit not a fair allocation system it is, in a sense, threading.
Well, you were wondering how flipping the table could ever be the right choice. I tried to show a toy situation in which that would be the case.

It may or may not map to the situation here, but IMO that's irrelevant. Personally, I think it maps pretty well.
While I'm sure genetics makes a difference (as it does with everything), I doubt it's that significant. I'd be shocked if there's more than a 10% difference, if even that much.

Would love to see a source that backs up your claim.
This segment is the one I cannot forget too. Especially where Salgado speaks about how he was sick after he returned from Africa. When you see his face when he says he was sick but not in a contagious way you know exactly what he means.

I also found the scenes, where you can see Salgado's face close-up and frontal while he looks at his photos, very strong. I read somewhere the scenes were filmed through a teleprompter which is an interesting artistic technique.

"It was just a joke bro" is rarely a joke. You say it was just a joke when it's so abhorrent that it gets messaged past the audience it was meant for. It certainly didn't sound like a joke in context, and it's something that large parts of his base believes because of all the demonization of higher education as a republican talking point for decades.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a policy position that he doesn't actually believe but is willing to push because it polls well with his constituency.

The Omnivore's Dilemma zeros in on the diminishing quality of vegetables due to some (not all) modern farming practices. I realize not everyone agrees with Michael Pollan's viewpoints, but I believe the book forces the reader to confront the food they are consuming, the system that helps deliver it to their table, and the impact on the environment and the food itself.

Healthier soil may also capture carbon. There are many reasons to look at optimization of farming and food production for a whole range of concerns beyond profits. The question is how to broadly incentivize and fund those concerns - reinvigorating agricultural dept programs with a wider focus at a federal and state level is one way to do that; others would likely come up under a Green New Deal type framework too.

The USPS isn't subsidized by taxes, though - instead the subsidy has been coming from domestic package shipments, which should become cheaper now that they aren't being relied on for that.
Hydroponics can’t scale like industrial farming. Our farming practices need to improve to make industrial farming sustainable.

My own foray into hydroponics has been lack luster. Lettuce didn’t taste as good and it’s much more maintenance. I can setup water timers and fertilize every x weeks in my garden. You have to constantly check hydro and put chemicals in it very often. Too labor intensive.
When I was in Afghanistan I was fascinated by the long lines of circular dirt mounts that dotted the landscape[0]. I knew of qanats from reading the Dune series by Frank Herbert, but had never seen an example. It wasn't until a few years after I was in Afghanistan that I realized what the long lines of what I thought were ancient battlements were--the access shafts for the qanats that provided water to the people in that high desert. Sadly I hear that the art of constructing and maintaining the qanats is being lost, and the qanats have been destroyed (or damaged beyond repair) in some cases by the expansion of the bases of occupying forces.

VR can work at 90Hz. If you spend money on a quality camera and a quality screen you can manage less end-to-end latency for AR. Focal range will be fine if you have a good sensor. Grain will be fine if you have a good screen. Compressing the dynamic range won't break anything. It doesn't have to work in every setting.
No, the issue you’re referring to applies to anything estimated directly from a sample; there’s nothing magic about zero or one. If you see 5000/10000 heads, the maximum likelihood estimate for that proportion is 0.5, but it still has some uncertainty attached: the 95% CI is about [0.49, 0.51]. With more data, you can shrink that interval, but you can never collapse it completely. On the other hand, that same data does let you assign exactly zero probability to the hypotheses “the coin is all heads” and “both sides of the coin are tails”, since you’ve seen counterexamples of both.
