That really is all I meant by my comment, and I hoped to make it clear that I don't think this is a worthwhile positive metric. I guess I didn't communicate that well enough because a few other people seemed to follow this line of reasoning as well...
that's correct. But even if you add qbe you only get 12k more, or about 20k, not 70k.
That's the point of (politicians) supporting mega corps. When only a few mega corps determine if you have a job and therefore can buy and survive they can indirectly control the masses.
> it's meal after meal of veggies and chicken, or just small portions of whatever

This doesn't sound right. No wonder you get fed up with such a diet and run back to junk, there is a mental/emotional factor to changing diet, as you describe.

I can't claim I know what would be perfect fit for you, but I can try: you describe tasty junkfood as the thing that makes you happy. Ever tried to properly spice up those healthy meals? I don't mean just chili, but dozens of herbs and spices available from all around the world.

Personal anecdote : When I went backpacking to India for few months, I practically stopped eating meat altogether - their chicken was full of bones, mutton was like a chewing gum, fish curries full of bones and god knows what sanitary conditions were (not) upheld. The thing is, I didn't miss meat at all, food was spiced so well and flavors were so rich that it took me quite some time after coming back to start eating meat (and I never really resumed pork and beef apart from few special occasions).

Also, don't know how active you are, but finding what makes you tick and enjoying the efforts will help greatly with move to healthier eating (it did for me). If you work out enough and often (this takes time to get to, but totally achievable for anybody), you don't have to watch portions and count calories anymore. The key is consistency.
At the time of walking away they had 33% of the Chinese search market - so it is hard to see how they did not have skin in the game - to lose all access to the largest market in the world forever. And not only for search, but also youtube, android and so many other things.
When did people begin to think that corporations of any kind could be their friends? Did they even? Or is this just another tantrum by yet another man-baby? I don’t want to be rude here, just wondering. Also: given the point is valid, isn’t this largely preaching to the choir? Or is this a predominantly American thing? I’m genuinely interested.

The process being discussed is not really compatible with being alive.
So much of this, when I work out and eat healthy I’m unhappy and have terrible anxiety.
Yes, vegetables are always going to be among the lowest calorie dense foods, and therefore not going to taste that appealing in the face of other options. It’s no surprise then that the ones kids tend to like the most are those vegetables that are highest in density ie corn, carrot, potato, peas. So while you’re not going to teach them to like vegetables, still good to teach them their importance and that they should eat some things even though they don’t taste good

> Actually, now that I think about it, VLQ already does satisfy the synchronization requirement. Just scan for the next cleared high bit. At most 1 character consumed, and far less bit wastage.

There are other useful properties of UTF-8 encoding. For one, it is easy to identify invalid UTF-8 sequences, and valid UTF-8 sequences are unlikely to appear in written text encoded as e.g. ISO 8859-1. This must have been more useful in the past when fixed 8-bit encodings were more common. With a simple VLQ your guess whether a stream complies to your encoding won't be nearly as informed, and the means to provide a fallback is diminished. Allowing graceful transition from ASCII and extended ASCII encodings was a very important property for the sake of adoption.

It's also useful that any non-ASCII sequence has the msbit set through the whole sequence. You can easily discard all sequences that can not be displayed as ASCII by throwing bytes >= 0x80, or for example replace every contiguous sequence of >= 0x80 bytes as question marks in an ASCII-only display system and still display all ASCII compatible sequences perfectly.

EDIT: It's also very much not the case that the days of starting read mid-stream are over.
> The private prisons are contractually guaranteed a minimum number of inmates for example, and you can even buy stocks in them. So then if you are a shareholder, I guess more crime is than in your financial interest so the prisons you own a small piece keeps making money.

I don't think so. Private prisons hold less than 10% of total inmates, so there's no way they'll be short even if suddenly the US started to jail half the people it does now.

> Greifeld referenced the WeWork IPO, which was pulled last week after a summer of volatile headlines about slashed valuations, confusing corporate governance, and a more than $900 million loss for the first six months of 2019.

IPO costs are always part of the expenses of all listed companies as soon as they announce their first earnings call. The fact that this "tech startup" has a loss of $900 Million+ in 6 months alone even before it has been listed, is really testing the limits of how much the IPO markets can tolerate with chronically unprofitable companies like this.

> "If you can show profitability, you’ll be fine ... At the end of the day, you’ve got to take away the hype."

Its a definite red-flag for a late investor to foolishly buy an unprofitable tech stock in 2019, even at its IPO price. As there are too many so called "tech startups" with weak portfolios are rapidly floating on the markets now have to return that raised capital back to those early-stage investors. Otherwise, when this IPO bubble bursts, startups who show no signs of profitability are completely toast.

Everyone except, profitable startups and lucky early stage investors will survive.

Please correct me where I am wrong, I have only studied quantum physics as a hobby.

I dislike this description of things existing in two places at once, this is because I believe that objects exist in one place, then they move to the next place.

The interference pattern only highlights the probability of where the particle will be when it's next observed, or "where it moved to". The object does not interfere with itself, it's the probability wave that is interfering with itself, and the wave is something separate from the object but is related to it.

The particle does not exist anywhere between its current position and the next. It does not travel in a "linear" or other way, if at time t it was at position 0 and at time tNext it was at position 1, at time tNext*0.5 you cannot assume it was at position 0.5, or both "position 0.5, slightly higher up" and "position 0.5, slightly lower down" at the same time.

In another way, in my mind, the object exists here, then it exists there, but it did not exist at the time between here and there, unless you happened to have observed it. Then of course "there" would be where you have made the observation because you have given it something to interact with.

I guess my issue is, at what moment does the article say that it exists in two places at once? Are they inferring this from the fact that there is an interference pattern?

To quote: "[1] Every particle or group of particles in the universe is also a wave—even large particles, even bacteria, even human beings, even planets and stars. [2] And waves occupy multiple places in space at once. [3] So any chunk of matter can also occupy two places at once."

I guess my problem is with [1] "is also a wave". I think that "there is a wave related to the object" but not "the object IS a wave". Then [3] does not follow.

I think game/genre-related subreddits are the closest thing to gaming social networks.
Yes, it is (or was) Hauptschule, Realschule and Gymnasium, but many states didn't have a Hauptschule or abolished it.

Now, you go to something like the Realschule and leave it after 9 years to get a Hauptschulabschluss (lowest leven of highschool "degree")

Also, while it sounds harsh that kids have to decide if they want to study with 18 when they're just 10 years old, it's possible to keep going to school after the 10 years of Realschule.

The normal ways could look like this:

Elementary School(1-4) -> Gynmasium(5-13) -> University(14-...)

or like that:

Elementary School(1-4) -> Realschule(5-10) -> Apprenticeship(11-13)

But there are many different variations of that.

I, for example, did it like that:

Elementary School(1-4) -> Förderstufe(5-6) -> Realschule(7-10) -> Fachoberschule(11-12) -> University(13-17)

The "Förderstufe" was two years of education where I was put into courses of different difficults to see in which system (Hauptschule, Realschule or Gynasium) I would do better, allowing me to decide when I was 12 (normally you had to decide when you were 10)

Also, the "Fachoberschule" was two years I did after Realschule to get access to university.

So I never went to a Gymnasium and still got to study computer science in the end.
The claim thrown around which the western news is repeating is all, including chips. Take that as you will.

"This is a manufacturing plant

The factory is a manufacturing plant, not an assembly station. The distinction is that Mara Phones produces its own chips and parts from over 1,000 tiny components to have a complete phone. Assembly plants, on the other hand, put together complete parts."

That's an interesting way to put it. :-D I believe we could do that to a lot of other compilers, say, lcc (30k) with its multiple backends and get something like 10-20k.

Most people don't go to university nor gymnasium in ex Soviet countries. It might have been among your social circles, but not everyone does it.
Same thing is happening in Gaza where over 200 civilians have been killed in the March of Return demonstrations over the last year. Our Western media reporting is insanely narrow and single-minded.

I don't really believe in planned obsolescence if it isn't enforced by electronics. In the 20th century it was common to use metal for things that we use plastics nowadays. Metal is expensive but lasts longer, plastic is cheap but it breaks easily. If you want to provide a cheap product then metal is out of the question. The end result is that we have too many crappy products but that doesn't mean they have been engineered to fail.
I think this is the most HN comment ever read.

At least they can keep going to school after this system ends.

I know a bunch of people who either did Abitur (the requirement to study at a university) after going to Hauptschule or Realschule, or simply studied without Abitur, because the university simply made a test with them and lookd directly if they're smart enough.

I am working on an (external) application which will indirectly make this possible for HN threads (I plan on doing a "Show HN" to demonstrate it).

However, in the case of a feature directly within the HN interface to collapse all non-top level comments, I think the only option right now would be to write JS to fire click events on the DOM to collapse non-top level comments, and inject it via the console or an extension while on HN.
Well the same can be said about human rights, they only care about it when it affects their business model in a positive way. if it cost them money they are very willing to turn their backs on it.

privacy is not possible in a world where governments are free to suppress the speech and will of the people. any company claiming otherwise simply sees their bottom line as more important than people, whether they are employees or customers.

To me Apple is the worst here because Tim and team have no shame, they will strut upon their stage at their own conferences about how they stand for rights but when the show lights are off they act completely different.

Amazon and Craigslist still use it. Craigslist extensively and ongoing.

Do they follow with a regular curfew as well?

The martial law introduced in Poland from December 13, 1981 to July 22, 1983 resulted in an unmatched birth rate increase. The 82-84 generation was big, with all the future consequences even after the fall of communism in 1989: overpopulation in schools, difficult job market, but many friends on the playgrounds. The generation of 88 and later didn't have these issues. But had others ;)

Thanks to Poland's quick economic development and rise in life quality & capacity, the 82-84 generation didn't create another baby boom, as their births were spread out over a 10 year period. Some had children at 25, some at 35. This, coupled with the 90-94 generation not willing to have kids early, of course led to an overall drop in fertility, which the current government is trying to fix by throwing money at it. The situation didn't get worse, but fertility didn't get much better either. Most don't want to have 3 or more kids these days. And that's what we need if we want to make more kids than the economic immigrants and the third world countries, so we can keep our retirement and workforce afloat. Or we put it on the shoulders of these immigrants. But then in a few decades the current western culture will be replaced with a new one. I'm not saying it's good or bad. But it's healthy to understand the possible futures. I know which one I like more, and hopefully will work towards it.

It might be a bit much to require employees to break a law as it might expose individual employees to some legal consequences. But there are plenty of laws that are immoral. There are a number of good examples in the peer comments (some of the laws of Hitler's Germany for example). Any company manager or officer that insists on enforcing such laws is themself immoral. But it takes some skill to craft a company policy that could address the situation adequately.
The "at some point" doesn't have to do with time. It has to do with the rest of the wavefunction of the universe. If the atom becomes entangled with everything else (in fact, a single quantum-mechanical spin suffices) the two branches become orthogonal and the interference terms from 'merging' vanish. We say the wavefunction 'decohered' when it becomes too complicated to see how to reverse this effect---as more and more particles get involved it becomes hopeless.

A company should figure out what the "real" price should be, and account for the difference in the marketing budget. ie, if the service costs $100/mo to deliver, and if you would otherwise charge $120/mo for the service, but you're only charging $10/mo, you should consider that $110/mo a marketing expense if it needs to be a "loss leader".

These are trust fund kids.
I have trouble with this especially since I’m not sure if the language they’re using is just creating a misunderstanding.

My example is quantum entanglement, which judging from a lot of sci-fi, people think means you literally have the same particle in two places, and changing it in one place changes it instantly in the other. Really it just breaks entanglement and you now have two different particles (so you can’t use it for FTL communication, hear that sci-fi authors?). It took me awhile to understand that, and I’m sure I have similar misunderstandings about this.
At last, an article that fully explores the aspirations of trust fund kids! I had no idea they are so virtuous!
