Good to know on the paid support side. This is something we've been considering for a while, and is probably coming as part of the mitigation strategy next month.
The HP Prime calculator has these features. Non-destructive but restrictive test mode, and the teacher/instructor or whomever can see if you've escaped test mode thanks to status LEDs on the device.

They thought of those things and implemented a good system.

It's not that the tradition is lost, it's that nobody can or is willing to afford that. People dress in Mark and Spencers, not in tailored suits or Channel.

Even the claim of quality is dubious. Better than H&M, possibly, but who cares. In this price range the competition is all clothes in existence, including bespoke and luxury brands who can make good clothes too.
just keep at it, eventually you run into data structures hard to represent with a borrow checker and it will slow you down, at least at first
I have the greatest respect for Scott, but I do think he’s being a bit too enthusiastic here in comparison with the D-wave. At the very least I think he should have included this question in his list:

Q: Why can the D-wave not be used to illustrate “quantum supremacy” in a similar way?

(As I understand it the D-wave can sample from the solutions to ”ising model-like” problems, which I assume would be extremely difficult for a classical computer to do (but probably possible to verify).)
What's the difference between a console, a terminal, and a shell?
Both technology and use cases actually.

I have a bit different approach in the way I structure the information, which is both limiting, but also useful to a set of problems.

Essentially, I built a content ranking system, which is a fair amount different than Google or your system. It's also patent pending, but I don't think necessary for what you're building at the moment.
Indeed. Hard to design a double blinded, randomised, placebo controlled trial for suicide prevention.
I remember writing programs for my TI-85, and I learned those formulas better than if I'd just memorized them for the test. I don't think our teachers had any rules about this stuff, and they probably didn't even know it was possible.

I think the bigger "loophole" is the ability to quickly solve simultaneous and and quadratic equations very easily using built-in functions on the calculators. This saves real time on tests like the SAT, because all you have to do is reorganize the equation to be in the right order, then tap in the coefficients to get the answer.
As other's have pointed out, yes, bases align like two parallel stack of plates. This is for two reasons. One is that the aromatic rings of bases are mostly carbon and thus not polar like water. Meaning they're hydrophobic. Duh. But also the rings stack because of the "pi stacking" which is A Thing.
I just use Anaconda. It's basically the final word in monolithic Python distributions.

For data science/numerical computation, all batteries included. It also has fast optimized linear algebra (MKL) plus extras like dask (paralellization), numba, out of the box. No fuss no muss. No need to fiddle with anything.

Everything else is a "pip install" or "conda install" away. Virtual envs? Has it. Run different Python versions on the same machine via conda environments? Has it. Web dev with Django etc.? All there. Need to containerize? miniconda.

The only downside? It's quite big and takes a while to install. But it's a one time cost.
You aren't wrong, just lacking in tact for hn.
What downsides?
It is. I have to admit Terms of Service / Privacy pages just seem annoying to have in the first place so I just hacked some previous terms I had together. Maybe I shouldn't have included them at all instead of having some half baked terms.

I actually don't even know what they say, but I definitely didn't make this to sell the emails or spam people. Sorry if this put you off
You're rewording what they said. If any group of people is more policed than another group of people, said group is more likely to have a criminal record. Doesn't mean they're more "criminal" than any other group but more of a reflection on the current state of the criminal justice system.

To paraphrase Warren Buffet: "If a cop follows you for 500 miles, they're going to find a reason to give you a ticket."
One would hope it would be a bit more, at least given the price point.
If you're writing boilerplate code in C#, it's either because you prefer to be explicit, or because you don't know how to use reflection and dynamic compilation yet. Using C# without reflection is like using Scheme without macros. That said, just like macros lead to DSLs, reflection leads to custom frameworks which then have to be explained to newcomers. It's definitely a cost/benefit thing, and there's an argument against ever using reflection. I can't live without it at this point though. You could say I've 'gone through the looking glass'.

If you're a C# dev who hasn't dug in to reflection yet, the gist is that all the things that the MVC, ORM, DI frameworks do, you can also do. This allows you to build custom frameworks which eliminate boilerplate.
It's also important to measure the amount of stuff made; US factories not only produce more expensive products but they produce more of them. This is particularly true of durable goods. From parents article:

"""The production of electronics, aerospace goods, motor vehicles and machinery are at or close to all-time highs.""'
Local police are often prevented by Sanctuary City policies from aiding the enforcement any form of immigration law - and they get away with that due to immigration being scoped as a federal policy. Unless there is an immigration omnibus bill or constitutional amendment, federal enforcement will continue to be necessary.
I fail to understand how merely directing people toward a certain street amounts to encouraging reckless driving.

I'm glad that things are moving foward in a productive way. I hope to be an early customer of paid support.
Interesting. Here in Australia we've had a decades-long campaign to reduce sun exposure as much as possible due to a wave of skin cancers in the '80s and '90s. It's been arguably too successful and now other health issues have become prevalent (eg. vitamin D deficiency) due to too little sun exposure.

Humans evolved while being baked in the sun, it'd be surprising if eliminating sunlight almost completely didn't come with some downsides.
On Turo and Its Profitability
Shows that there are a lot of good people who commit suicide. Maybe a society would benefit if it went the distance to protect them.
Unfortunately, the same complexity considerations do not hold for Ising problems. While many NP-hard problems can be formulated in Ising form, it is often not hard to get a “pretty good” solutions to these problems. DWave and collaborators have spent a decade trying to come up with exactly the same thing as demonstrated here — namely, a problem specifically designed to demonstrate quantum advantage of any sort — and as of now did not succeed.

To answer your question specifically: DWave does not allow the same level of control over qubits.
It may not be disingenuous. Judging by all the repetition in the article it was probably by written by someone who had no idea what the researchers were talking about.
Four Years in Startups: Life in Silicon Valley During the Dawn of the Unicorns
It's anti-competitive behavior. There's no such thing as a fair market when one player has a monopoly.

I'm actually not in favor of anti-trust law and breaking up large companies. We should just properly tax them so that they can't grow this large.
What is the cause for concern? I am trying to understand why DNS-over-HTTPS could be a bad thing from the user end.
Well apparently someone changed it now anyways.

The way I meant it initially was simply that it was a lightweight/minimal/simple vs big/complicated/clunky, which is my own opinion of Goodreads
The Igbo may have many different subgroups but they’re conscious of their own existence and other groups are conscious they exist. I’m sure there are liminal groups who are Igbo enough to be discriminated against in Hausa or Fulani areas but different enough that in majority Igbo areas they wouldn’t be considered “real” Igbo. Having fuzzy boundaries doesn’t disqualify an ethnic group from existence or we wouldn’t have any. This consciousness marks them as different and in areas where they’re a minority that makes them a minority.

They’re also clearly disproportionately involved in commerce. As you said

> there's an ethnic group in my country - the Igbo - that are so pervasively, aggressively[0] entrepreneurial that it's become a meme.

If they’re a minority that’s disproportionately involved in trade that makes them a merchant minority.

They also have non-central features of being a merchant minority, like being subject to pogroms but as I said previously Yankees are another example which were never subject to that experience. In Ireland the Protestant minority used to fill a similar role.

> And the other half would almost entirely be Yoruba, but I don't see you leaping to call the Yoruba a merchant minority.

If the Hausa, Fulani and Yoruba had been put into one state by the British, the Igbo had not abc there was enough inter-state hostility to prevent migration the Yoruba would be that *Nigeria’s merchant minority. The Yoruba are clearly more commercial than either of the other groups. But that didn’t happen and the Igbo are Nigeria’s merchant minority.

Classification as a merchant minority is a matter of degrees. Protestants in Ireland, Yankees in the US, Germans along the historic borderlands with the Slavs, all of these groups were a lot more involved in trade than the majority popular but they also engaged heavily in primary production. Classic merchant minorities like Jews, Armenians or Parsis didn’t. Igbo are clearly closer to the first group than the second in those areas where they’re a majority.

Whatsapp, Instagram, Oculus, ... do you want all companies to be under three main tech companies?
I didn't really understand the answer though. The computer is programmable, but the way supremacy is demonstrated is orthogonal to its programmability - it is still demonstrating superiority on just the one problem of simulating itself starting from any initial condition, no?
It's probably even worse than what you describe.
You'll be cuddling up to the Amazon, Google, Apple, Microsoft of whichever global power you're closest to.

I'm in Australia, so I don't know if in twenty years I'll still be connected to Westnet or Sinonet. I'll probably buy a black market connection to Westnet from a guy with a mohawk and implants in his head.
You are correct, it is designed to catch moving traffic, but it would also catch someone going underneath in a stationary traffic jam.

Actually studies have shown that people on (hands free) phone calls are also very distracted from the task of driving, driving slower than the traffic, around corners etc. [Haque et el at QUT. A small study in a simulator, but it certainly matches anecdotal observation... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00014... ]

Just tuning the radio or even listening to the radio can increase response times. Unsurprisingly, having children in the car can also significantly increase risk. [MUARC] Remember that next time you see a Baby On Board sign.
(1) I would have paid 50% more but I also imagine that 50% is hardly necessary to fund a proper support system. That represents an increase of nearly a thousand dollars per unit.

(2) Having known the person (singular)* who said they'd be priced out at +50% from other interactions, I wouldn't take their comments at face value.

* Apparently it's two people.
Humans are too diverse for an evidence-based "always do X, never do Y". You're more likely to get "X worked out better 70% of the time" - which means with 70% of the kids. Well, 30% of the time, that won't work out well with your kid.

So take advice (evidence based, if available). But if it's not working with your child, then it's not. (Your kid will almost certainly differ from the "best advice" on something.) When that happens, try something else, no matter how "expert" or "evidence-based" the recommendation was.
What's ridiculous is you can't turn in any footage you take yourself. As a cyclist with a camera on my bicycle I have hundreds of drivers on their phone, yet the police has nowhere for me to turn this in.
The TI-89 is definitely not fair in a calculus class because it can solve most of the problems for you

Hybrid Cloud vs. Multicloud: What's the Difference?
I think we need to comes to grips with a hard truth about the reality of academic life. Once you invest decades of your life into a research subject, if it turns out the entire thing is never going to work, there are major social and financial pressures to deceive the public about the true nature of the subject.

I saw this happen with string theory first hand, and my experience with string theory was a major factor that led to changing paths to pure mathematics and computer science.

As someone who has spent a lot of time researching QC, I do not believe it will ever be possible to build a practical quantum computer. We have been over this so many times on this site. Here is a good link from a serious professional who takes the same position [1]

In fact, my personal opinion is that quantum computers are functionally, a hoax, the main purpose of which is to generate hype, secure research grants, ensure career stability for academics, and give science reporters something to write about to get clicks while deceiving the public.

Thanks for the insights. Totally agree about keeping it small
Ok. Picking on a firm because it didn't beat the 500 is harsh. Beating the 500 is damn hard. An 500index fund is basically a collection of large monopolies that extract cash.

This is the main reason Netflix is included in the group, I think.
Very good explanation. Even if it would not be 100% correct, and I can not say yes or no, it gives a good overall introduction to the concepts involved.

The difference between European and Australian drivers is not that Australians have to do 120 hours of supervised driving, but that the supervisor for the hours of driving in Australia is usually the parents of the learner.
So any bad habbits from parents are taught between generations.

Compare that to the European system where you are requiredto hire a professional driving instructor to teach you (at great expense I might add) for the entire time you are learning.

And because of that, the culture in Australia seems to be that driving is a right where as Europeans seem to treat it as more of a privilege.
This is a case of "When people thought the Earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the Earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the Earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the Earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together. "

Yes, it's wrong to assume that you can tell everything about that dog by looking at it - but it's so much more uncomparably wrong to consider that you can tell nothing about friendly or sick dogs based on looking at them!

Observating the behaviors and dog breeds correlating with previous friendly and unfriendly experiences is a very useful, somewhat reliable predictor of how likely this particular dog is to be (un)friendly. Sure, if you know this particular dog, then that should supercede any group information, but if not, then that's all the information you have, it is useful information that correlates with (future) reality that matters to you, and so it's prudent to use it. Appearing "nonjudgmental" by throwing away information and judgment is simply stupid, and bound to get you bitten at least in the metaphorical way.
There have been "GNU" distributions that used non-Linux kernels. There was one that used the Solaris kernel, which at the time was even copylefted. Though with a license that was incompatible with GPL. (I think that Sun didn't want Linux just cutting and pasting stuff like ZFS and Containers into the Linux kernel.)

I'd also be surprised if there haven't been dists that used the GNU commands, but with a BSD kernel.
The tech exists, but the average schmuck has no idea how to use it, so it might as well not exist.
Can it start making furnshings that last longer than a few years of light use? Mdf 'disposable' furnishings not the most ecologically sound. Nevermind that even the better 'real wood' designs are not any more sturdy, and the finish looks cheap, because it ships easily!

They need to stop spewing crap that ends up trash before this seems worthwhile. Any decent furnishings should last a decade or more without major repair or treating it like a paper lantern. Buy used. Buy amish. Buy handmade from pallet-wood. Just buy it to last.
For one thing, Waze is using the actual speed of drivers instead of the legal speed limit to determine the travel time of a route. If drivers are speeding, Waze is basing its time savings on drivers violating the law.

In some of the conditions that are brought up in these stories, it's not even really safe to travel the legal speed limit. (And reckless driving includes travelling too fast for conditions). Given the resistance of Waze to merely cut out those routes that are not safe for through traffic, it's clear that they do not value safety and I hold little sympathy for them.
E-cigs should be banned. Same as cigarettes of any kind. In fact, any airborne addictive substance should be blanked banned.

I used to rent an apartment that had a shared ventilation system. It was a no-smoking building. My neighbors decided to ignore this. The smell would get so bad it would make your head spin. The building management did nothing, because it was hard to prove which neighbor was the culprit. I ultimately had to break the lease & move out.

I don't care if you drink yourself under the table, snort meth on the regular, or whatever other self-destructive habit you choose for yourself. It's your right to be an idiot. But your rights stop the moment they infringe on my right to not part take in your self-destructive habits.

No, we don't need smoking rooms. No, it's not sufficient to ban smoking in public places. None of that has prevented me from coming in contact with nicotine or weed. Just ban it outright. It's really that simple.

Nicotine patches, weed cookies, etc. on the other hand? Those are fine. Go nuts. As long as you leave me out of it.
>Short term they should be held in humane conditions, trials should not take months and instead take weeks at most, families should not be separated. It's not rocket science. Take some of the money you're burning up every day and spend it here instead (and on other things that improve the lives of people).

Current updated immigration detention facilities are on par with or better than most other developed countries. The problem is with the overcrowding. It's too bad that efforts to improve the efficiency of the system (and thus the crowding), whether it is furniture or tech like Chef is experiencing such counter-productive boycotts.

Over a year ago there was a plan to give current illegal residents a pathway to citizenship and build a wall to significantly reduce the now 100k+ monthly crossings -- it was opposed by the same activists now complaining of the consequences.
> When I am abroad, my phone lets me real time translate menus!

The first time I traveled abroad (years before smartphones became commonplace), my boss insisted I pay attention to every conversation, even when I didn't speak the language. It turns out, in a lot of languages, there are a lot of unexpected cognates. And you can pick up quite a few words in very little time just by listening.

You say your phone helped you carry on a conversation in a language you didn't speak, but have you tried it without the phone? It works better than you probably think. Imagine you saw your favorite movie for the first time in a foreign language. Don't you think you could figure out most of it from visuals, emotions, and context? In my experience, you can understand about 80% of a movie without speaking a word of the language. 5 year olds don't know that many words, anyway!

Also: menus? If I'm traveling somewhere where I can't read the menu, I probably don't know what any of the food is, either, so I'll eat anything. Trying new and unknown native customs is the whole point of traveling.

This all sounds to me like people who say "I need GPS or I'll never find anything!" Actually, my friends who don't use GPS got lost the first few times, but now know the city better than anyone. My friends who use GPS every time, OTOH, still don't know where anything is.

Oh nice! This is Discordian 5-act structure.

Chaos: Our protagonist, New Tech, arises.

Discord: As a consequence, the first antagonist looms: Unintended Consequences.

Confusion: New Tech is not dissuaded. It moves boldly, embracing what it sees as positive change in the world.

Bureaucracy: Unintended Consequences summons the evil power of Somebody Else's Problem, and reveals their true face: Angry Mobs.

The Aftermath: The Government steps in. They ban New Tech, establish a Committee to Study Somebody Else's Problem, set up a fund for Unintended Consequences, and violently suppress the Angry Mobs.

Recall that, in Discordian 5-act, the protagonist is arbitrary, and usually chosen to maximize irony, bathos, or confusion. Our goal is to remind the audience of how silly it was to think of anything or anybody as morally absolved.
