I'm from Sweden were the things you are talking about doesn't apply, getting into our best colleges isn't particularly hard and private schools you have to pay for are almost non-existent. Yet there are still a significant gap in how much people earn, and kids from rich families still do much better in school and college than kids from poor families.
So why did South Korea rise but Ghana did not? Ghana was richer in 1957 than South Korea.

There’s a lack of reporting on Flint, period. For whatever reason, lead and water contamination stories don’t stick in the news cycle. People just aren’t as concerned about it.

This is of course horrible. They’re not the only municipality with lead in its water. But people spend a lot more time and money on the painful wart on their neck than the removed plight of others.
The first thing an amateur C++ programmer would notice is that that code isn't standard C++ code, what with its weird "#pragma omp" thing that isn't in the index of the Stroustrup book.

The author, as most people speaking about the Mona Lisa, neglects to mention why she is so popular.

It's not actually because the painting is such a tremendous masterpiece. In 1911 it was was largely unknown.

But that year it was stolen by Vincenzo Peruggia. The theft and subsequent recovery two years later received a lot of media attention around the world.

Leading to the current immense popularity.

Otherwise... yes. The hordes of tourists amassing before the Mona Lisa, who then stare at the painting for two or three minutes while trying to get a good look through the amassed crowd, is not a benefit for anyone. Except for the ticket revenue.

But then again, Louvre is huge, so it really doesn't matter much. You really don't notice when exploring other parts.

Is it a pendulum then? When it’s less obvious is it still happening (and they just do a better job of hiding it from a more sensitive public) or is actual positive change happening?

There’s this saying that sunshine is the best disinfectant, but that somehow feels less true right now. It seems like you can be openly crooked in a democracy as long as you appeal to a sufficient majority for other reasons not related to your crookedness.
I think most people should understand by now, these massive option grants are basically playing roulette with a huge chunk of your remuneration package. It's meant to align your interests with the company but let's face it - no one starting at facebook today will have any meaningful impact on the share price as an individual. Instead it's a great way of companies making their employees take significant risk.

When I graduated I could have worked at 3 generally similar companies, the lowest salary offer was £27k, the highest was £35k, all had significant RSU packages (nothing like crazy US numbers). In the 5 years following my graduation, 1 company got bought by Intel providing a 50% pop for the share price, 1 company got bought by Softbank providing a 50% pop for the share price, 1 got eviscerated by Apple and practically destroyed the share price. There was no meaningful way of knowing which way any of those would go. As a graduate I had no real chance of impacting the shareprice of those events. Yet for some reason between 0-30% of my renumeration was determined by it!
I am from eastern Europe too. It is fine to try and promote one's country, but denying facts doesn't help us either. Been to Hungary a few times, it lags behind central and western european countries by a high margin. Budapest is fine, but life is pretty rough around there. Anyway we are diverging and diving into open wounds.

Edit: As a side note, the persistence of that label might be because of the persistence of our societies in isolating from the majority of our countries, ignoring problems, and calling it progress just because a minority lives way better than the average. Unless we stick our heads up, acknowledge the issues, and solve them, then no amount of political correctness will save us.
The thing is, Intel can't progress to their 7nm node if they can't even spin up 10nm one.

Siltronics (Intel's wafer supplier) is said to now to have a field day. Intel haven't opened any new 14nm fabs, and those were maxed out years ago. The only explanation why Intel not only expanded their orders to Siltronics, but even entered new negotiations with other suppliers, is that they are spending a whack a lot of wafer on something other than existing 14nm manufacturing.

It is either their GPU's are actually being taped out in extreme secrecy, or the yield on 10nm is so low that they are "bruteforcing" it
The link is bad.
This would be really interesting to study. Same with Reddit.
Well, the whole purpose of OpenMP is to be a syntactically lightweight way of parallelizing code; it is a well supported standard. C++17 in fact has paralel extensions to the standard library, but if you have access to OpenMP it is often better.

OpenMP is not C++ specific, it is also supported in fortran and C (although the newer OpenMP standards have first class support for C++ iterator semantics). In principle it could also be supported in rust although I assume that making it work with the borrow checker might not be easy.
Seems like a real world implementation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_to_moderation

I'm not sure that's a great thing, but you're never going to find a consensus that's both palatable to a majority and the right thing to do (of course, "right thing" being what I'm arbitrarily deciding is "right" based on my own values).

What's the compromise between pro-slavery and anti-slavery? Thank god argument to moderation wasn't the solution here.

As someone frequently interviewing people, I ask these kinds of questions because I am interested in what people perceived as a significant challenge in their career, how they tackled it and how they remember it.

THat having said, I would never judge the answer to this question without the context of other questions and answers.
This is just a story for entertainment purposes. It's all true though.

I seriously practiced astrology between the ages of 12 to 16. Specifically from this book [1].

How did I start believing in it?

My dad believed in it and went to an Indian astrologer and the guy gave me a reading and got my character spot on. Because of that, I became really enthusiastic. However, since I knew that my family let me down before when it came to matters of knowledge, I decided to do my best to quickly debunk it as fast as possible.

I got into palmistry and numerology. It took me 4 years to debunk.

The reason it took 4 years: well with palmistry, it's tough to know where to start. Furthermore, life events play out on a life scale, so the instant feedback is zero. At the time, I eventually ruled it out by association, a very weak argument indeed. Nowadays, I rule it out by logic, but I still can't empirically rule it out (not that I care).

Numerology was actually doable and that took me 4 years. It took so long because there's an insidiuous effect going on. With most numbers (check the source [1]), the descriptions are relatively positive and when you're capable of always giving quite a positive reading, then people tend to agree with you! In fact, a psychologist tested this on a 100 college students. He wrote the same positive personality description for all of them and got 4 out of 5 stars! While I couldn't find the source of that, I could find the source on something very similar [2].

Eventually I noticed that numerology had an accuracy of 50%, I reasoned that's basically a coin flip's worth of chance (remember, I was 16, I didn't understand what base rate meant) and if numerology would be true, I'd expect a 95% accuracy. Also, in hindsight there were some very strong indicators of it being bullshit. I used the system to pick my friends this way for a while and that didn't go too well (not too bad either).

I've wasted a lot of time on it and I'm sad that this is the stuff I spent my time on, and that this is the stuff my dad found important. When I'll be a dad, I'll teach my kids about math, music and the world. I'll teach them about numerology and palmistry as a cautionary tail and how to distinguish true knowledge (math) from nonsense such as astrology (in a scientific sense, I agree that it's useful for simply talking, etc.).

The irony is, whenever I give readings to people (once per year on average), they tend to become almost immediate converts despite me saying it's bullshit. That's something to think about. Even more ironic is that ever since that period in my life, I behave as my birth date would stipulate. Since whatever you believe in -- between the ages of 12 and 16 -- stays forever with you.

(Obviously, there's a good explanation for that and it doesn't involve planets. It definitely involves the effects of a self-fulfilling prophecy)

The jump straight to interviewing comes with the ironclad faith that changing an organisation from the inside is now much harder than changing organisations. In the end, salary and work is something you do to support yourself. If you are going to take time and energy out of your life to improve the company where you work, that's time and energy you're not using to improve yourself (or at least, you're not using it as efficiently).
Please excuse any ignorant use of terminology, I am not a DNS expert like others on here, but I can share some experience in the smaller business world.

A company I worked with a couple of years ago was using Dyn as their DNS provider, and one day we got a notifcation that we had passed the usage limits for our account. This seemed impossible considering our site was getting a couple of hundred unique visitors a day. A few things came out of the analytics.

1) A short TTL on an A record had been left on from a website migration project. The majority of the requests were coming from our internal website administrators. I moved it up to a couple of hours and this went a way.

2) We were getting a huge amount of AAAA record hits. I think most modern browsers/OS try quad A first??? We didn't have IPv6 configured, and therefore the negative resolution had a TTL set to the minimum on the SOA record, which was 1second! A change of this to 60 caused a huge reduction in requests. I suppose I should have set up ipv6, but I didn't.

3) When we sent out stuff to our mailing list the SPF (or rather TXT) records saw a peak that was off the chart. We had a pretty settled infrasructure, so I moved that TTL to a day (I think from memory) and it flattened the peak somewhat.

4) There was a large peak in MX request around 9am. I put this down to people opening their email when they got to work and replying to us. I had to set the TTL to a couple of days (of course) to smooth that one.

I like to think it was worthwhile and improved things for users. I at least had a nice warm glow that I had saved the internet from a bunch of junk requests, and it just felt tidier.
I just set a reminder for +1 year minus 2 days in my calendar and live happily knowing I'll be notified when the time is right.
Storing information as a triple (subject, predicate, object) is a way of representing knowledge. It closely follows the structure of human language and also has the benefit of being machine readable. In the future, this may allow things like AI to take advantage of knowledge that has been stored in this fashion.

Obviously, a triple store is a database that stores triples, and RDF (the Resource Description Framework) is an open standard maintained by the W3C so...

An RDF triplestore has the advantages of allowing for the storage of knowledge in a semantic way, that brings with it a powerful open standard for representing and querying the data.

>but the lack of inclusion of China and other major greenhouse emitters makes the agreement dangerous

You may be thinking of the Kyoto protocol, which did exempt "developing" countries like China and India (which I agree is very flawed). The Paris agreement includes China though.

There is precedent for it, although more typically for larger format works. As the article notes, Guernica used to be in its pavilion. In addition, in Paris, L'Orangerie is largely built around Monet's Water Lilys Cycle. (There are also other impressionist paintings downstairs--closed at the moment--but it's the big Monets people come to the museum for.)
This was a problem for the federal income tax as well, which was solved.

Is paying more for more hours worked on-demand ageism? If a company meeds that type of worker, it is hiring that type of worker rather than that age. Age just happens to be a rather strong proxy for reasons listed above.

I know a number of people who have done just that - taken a big pay cut - to spend more time with kids. And why shouldn't that be the case? Less work => less pay.
There is a lot of reading out there on the various types of instabilities, but generally the timescale for these effects are in the microsecond to millisecond range. I think particles move toroidally in the transsonic range, which depends on the temperature (which is a gradient from the core). This would be in the range of 300-1000 m/s in a device with a circumference of a meter or less (for most science machines made so far). I think it only takes a handful or orbits for an instability to grow. It depends on how much abnormal magnetic shear there is. I’m not comfortable saying more.

I think there's some real value in people openly actually laying out what their compensation package is, how it worked out and the risks involved is actually really valuable. Obviously we shouldn't be making too many decision from anecdotes, but more awareness of peoples' compensation in the industry is a good thing.

It was avoidable, just not by you. That's not your problem though - it's your bosses' problem. Letting them make that your problem is a choice for you, but I would posit it is a poor choice.
I believe HN will show you a few not-yet-popular posts that it thinks you might be interested in, so that the browsers of "New" aren't the only ones who decide what gets popular.
There is a vast difference between what China promises to do and what it actually does. For example, it's repeatedly committed to stop massively subsidising its steel and aluminium production and driving everyone else out of business, but has not done so whatsoever. (One of the less widely appreciated results of that is that China's plants produce much more CO2 than the ones they're driving out of business, due to less efficient processes and dirtier power sources.) Climate change is similar - they may have committed to reducing their emissions, but in reality what we've seen is a massive build-out of coal power and heating.
Automated metro lines aren't unsupervised though. The automated lines in Paris and Lille also stop when there is a strike.
Unless they've changed things for the worse, this is nonsense. I visited the Louvre about five years ago and found:

* The ML (Mona Lisa) is put in its own room, surrounded by a bunch of not very remarkable paintings that would not lose out to being ignored by tourists focusing on the Mona Lisa.

* You can get to the ML fairly efficiently from the main entrance. If that is all you want to see, it's not a very big problem because:

* The Louvre is VAST. 99.99% of it is not the ML and probably around 90% of it does not suffer from being in the same very, very large building as the ML. You can have a very fulfilling visit to the Louvre and never get anywhere near the thing (or the queues leading up to it).

Also, the common trope that the ML is not actually an interesting painting is nonsense as well. It's a perfectly charming little painting and if you make sure you enter the museum early enough you can get close enough to enjoy it.

My 2 cents. That hinge on the Louvre not having significantly changed things for the worse recently.
I'm not that familiar with museum design or their funding mechanisms, but for logistical purposes, sometimes if you want a lot of foot traffic in your building, you make people navigate around to see the "crown jewels" so-to-speak which forces/exposes them to other items of interest you want to "sell" (taxpayers, government, private market...).

If you need to count beans for some government funding agency to justify your budget, this is a way to inflate bean count and prop up underperforming aspects. As long as it's a situation that isn't incredibly wasteful and done in good taste, I support it--though this is of course highly subjective.

If you break that number up so it's easier to see why people visit (e.g., separating the Mona Lisa), it may inadvertantly give justification to cut funding to the other aspects in many modern mindsets. Mixing the artworks up artificially inflates other works foot traffic that, I would argue, is a positive form of trickery for society (preservation and education of the arts, something important and often underfunded).
What you described in the second paragraph was happening well before the water crisis. Which is why Flint is in the shape it is. How much the water crisis increased or contributed to this would be interesting to know vs people who did it before.

No. She was an untrained individual providing unprofessional and unproven mental health and potentially life changing advice to fragilized people.

That's called charlatanism and has a tremendous potential for causing serious harm on scales we sometimes can't even think of.

Just from the top of my head: South Korea was until recently governed by someone who took official decisions from faeries advices, and Brazilian right wing extremism is fueled by a former astrologer turned political influencer.

There used to be a nice collection of similar stories in this website http://whatstheharm.net/ and while it hasn't been updated in a while, I believe it still serves as a decent repository of examples.

the nice thing about those pragmas is that the code has can be understood even if you ignore them. I do not know if this is true for all omp pragmas (IIRC some the newer ones might have some non ignorable semantics) but it is true for this omp for.
