Daughter is currently experiencing this as a piano performance major. And in the jazz band, and the marching band (sax) and the concert band (clarinet) and two vocal groups and working as an RA and trying to keep her "pop" recording/gigging career alive ( https://open.spotify.com/artist/0fDIdSgcV9GejFZw4lYlWf ).

She considers herself blessed to have inherited my sleep disorder so that she has nights to practice. She has pretty much given up on having a social life except with people she performs with.

The sad part, is that in order to have a shot a real career is that she really has to do 90% of all these things. It sucks.

I think she may give up the RA gig next year and just deal with having more debt.
Even if those chips are completely devoid of American-origin IP cores, they almost certainly were designed with American-origin EDA software.

I am not sure if such chips would be covered by existing export bans or if EDA software licensing agreements prohibit export of produced design files to countries subject to US export bans.

If neither is the case, I expect either or both to change soon.
Because the market got large and growth slowed.

Unfortunately the vast majority of drivers on the road didn't go through the regime you describe to get a license.

My mother got her license in the 1960s in a town with dirt roads. Quick loop of the main street, reverse park, hill start and the local copper gave her a license. She's never been forced to learn the rules for traffic lights, roundabouts, freeways, drink driving or any of the other modern amenities and rules.
I have known an embedded engineer for probably a decade now.

He uses Forth.

I watched him write a tiny forth kernel in a Kb of RAM or so, then run a dictionary through it to get a brand new CPU bootstrapped in what could be as little as a day.

Very impressive. That system got an assembler / disassembler used to make new system words and other words fast.

Modifying a Forth system, and I say that due to how Forth is really an environment that becomes capable of the application, depends lot on who made it and what one can know of their thought process.

What I thought interesting about this guys approach us a fairly pure Forth is used to bootstrap. Then one that is a lot more comfy gets made for the longer get term.

Once that stage is reached, and there are good tools, assembler / disassembler, monitor, word viewer, etc... Forth can be made less of a puzzle.

One can even add other syntax, an interpreter, if desired.

The product is more like a dev system, self hosted and capable.

I find it all compelling, but as you say, much different.
I know a few Natives on Twitter who say similar things about the US -- only talking about real property, not intellectual property -- and who would like their land back.
Unless you're a FAANG your company probably doesn't have the cash on hand to hire 2x as many developers as they need to let them "personally develop" on the clock.

That can still get you booked in NSW, if police decide that it's contributing to dangerous driving.

Based on things I've seen during a morning commute, I hope it can detect bowls of cereal, electric shavers, and open makeup cases as well.
Calculating long-term effects is a lot harder and ambiguous than thing easy to measure like ODs, for example that post includes cardiovascular diseases and cancer but did they compare how many drink alcohol and exercise vs those who don't? And afterwards compare people that don't exercise vs people that drink alcohol and exercise, and people that exercise that never drink alcohol vs people who exercise that drink it each weekend? Are there differences between people that drink pure alcohols (Vodka, Whisky) vs non-pure ones (beer), and also how much is enough drinking to notice those negative symptoms, once a year? once a month?

Alcohol, Heroin and Nicotine. All are super addictive and after some time the body becomes chemically dependant. It's why you get "dope-sick" when you kick.
> But recent studies estimate that 21 to 29 percent of patients prescribed opioids end up misusing them, and the rate of addiction actually ranges between 8 and 12 percent.

Apart from the problems about how opioids are prescribed that were touched on in the article, one of the big problems with how opioids and other potentially addictive drugs are prescribed is that there's incredibly poor eduction around addiction, and a deep societal stigma against addiction.

Drug dependance and addiction isn't a moral or mental failing. It can (and does) happen to the most virtuous and intelligent people. Patients aren't educated to recognise the symptoms of beginning dependence and addiction, and if they do recognise it, they're reluctant to communicate this with their doctor for fear of being cut off entirely. Instead of being open and up front when they start to develop a problem, because of stigma and fear of being labelled a junkie, people will hide their behaviour, causing further problems. Also, because of the attached stigma, friends and family will often be reluctant to raise any concerns they have.

Your kind of response is exactly the kind of attitude and stigma that furthers the problem.
Very few in this discussion are asking to ban opioids. However corruption of the Doctor-patient relationship is a big problem.

There’s a word for this on the street - a “pusher”. I for one don’t want to wonder if my doctor is getting kickbacks for prescribing specific meds.
Relevant Zappa => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAGVQM6IAKk
"When my patient’s loved ones ask how this could have happened, or start to blame themselves, I think with anger about how, for years, drug companies promoted the idea that addiction was not a common effect of the medication but rather a personal failing of the addict."

Shouldn't that be, "...I promoted the idea..."
What happened to big idea (2004)
No, I’ve never seen Adams say this. Can you explain what’s insane about it?

If some unlikely event happens, one could assume that it was just a random occurrence, and leave it at that. But that is an assumption one could always make, for any event; “random chance” can explain anything. If, instead, one sets random chance aside for a moment and looks for reasons beside random chance, one could find other possible reasons for the event, and possibly learn something new. Of course, there’s always the possibility that it actually was random chance, in which case one risks seeing spurious non-related events as being causal, and thereby learning the wrong thing. But I think it’s a risk one will have to take in order not to always go “a wizard did it”, never learning anything.
The first thing I would suggest is 'ldd binary' where binary is the name of the file--and make sure all shared libraries are found.
The intended audience of AMS's Graduate Student Section is mathematics graduate students. Nevertheless, it's hard to say whether symplectic manifolds has any easily explained analogy for lay audiences. The subject originally arose from more abstract formulations of classical mechanics.
Google and Apple are just milking it. Smart phones were introduced a decade ago. Flagship phones costed then around $500, now we got to the point that they costing $1,000+ like if mass producing wouldn't cut the cost down. On top of that making a battery be non removable and constantly over-volting the batteries to reduce their life. Ultimately phones become useless after 2 years, unless you replace batteries yourself or pay someone to do it for you.

We can model an economy, but not at perfect precision.

Building a model always involves decisions about what approximations you make, what entities you consider, and so forth. There’s a lot of flexibility when you build your model.

As a result, the recommendations of the model tend to match the biases of the people making the model; and if they don’t, they’ll keep trying til they do. Left wing economists wind up building models that recommend left wing policies, while right-wing economists build models that recommend right-wing policies, and we are none the wiser.
Unrelated business income does not cause a loss of 501(c)3 status, it's just that the unrelated income is not tax exempt (i.e. the org which otherwise does not pay taxes on income has to pay income tax on the unrelated income).

Also, if I understood correctly, it is PIR that is considering becoming a B Corp, which they can do since they cannot remain a 501(c)3 now that they are owned by a for-profit entity.

Last, it would be very difficult to prove this wasn't a fair market value transaction. There was an investment banker involved (Goldman), so I assume they shopped to a number of different parties, in which case it's hard to argue that the price paid (assuming it was one of the highest bids) is not the FMV.

As I said in my original comment, I don't like the transaction, so don't take this as a defense of the appropriateness of selling it to a for-profit. But I think it is difficult to challenge on the basis that the transaction itself was illegal.
Yes unfortunately for the past 3 odd years "sitting down to amicably discuss" virtually anything with the United States has been an impossibility for Canada.
I was doing a little of catching up on older problems to improve my speed to get on the leaderboard and I found that the fastest way to finish one problem was to use oeis.

After seeing the problem [0], I didn't immediately think to use oeis because the manhatten distance of a spiral is pretty easy to code or do by hand. The second stage has a harder sequence though. It prompted me to check oeis and I easily got the answer [2] within a minute of checking.

Looking back at the first stage, I found a sequence for it [1] and PARI/GP code i could run to answer the question. If I had used oeis immediately I would have a solution to both phases in 2 minutes which would be the fastest on the old leaderboard for the problem [3].

Yeah thats all good and well until your realise they are a surveillance distopia, which the west dont care about, at least until they decide to start invading the world via military means rather than just lending countries into crippling debt.
The problem is, most methods you propose to correct for individuals getting burned, may create more systematic problems, which may result in more individuals getting burned in the long run. These are incredibly complex systems which are not suitable for intelligent design.

The best solution maybe is for individuals and the shared culture to get wiser, and this often happens only when there is enough collateral damage.

Hacker News: Who’s hiring? - With Engineering

If you’re into systems, we got it all: kernel, concurrency, network, distributed algorithms, ...

Languages are C++, Java and Python. We do whiteboard interviews and value passion for coding.
I signed up for “subscribe and save” because it gave me like a 5% discount on my Protein purchase from Amazon.

Before the next 5 lb jar was supposed to get sent, they sent me an email saying they were about to charge me and I had until X date to cancel.

You can make subscriptions work if your intentions are good and you’re not looking at them as a revenue stream based on people forgetting to cancel.

I ended up cancelling that next shipment but ordered again a few weeks later.

The model isn’t bad. Just depends on the execution.
Interesting, i have never seen this definition of socialism where it is simply about the way companies are governed and companies themselves are free to compete with each other. I expected a system that would try to equalise everyone in the whole country instead of simply everyone working for a given company, so it would need some way to redistribute goods instead of simply giving equal voting rights to all employees.

Would the system you describe be the same as capitalism, with the exception that workers are prohibited from selling their voting rights to anyone else?
I'm already there. I just hate random money coming out of my account. I just gave fastmail $130 for three years. I wish I could have given them a thousand for lifetime so I would just never have to think about it again. I bought a lifetime Plex Pass for $150 so I would never have to think about it again. And no hard feelings if these services were to shut down.

I can deal with a large one time payment. A bunch of random 5 dollar a payments a month isn't going to float. I crawl through my credit card statements looking for oddities. And it just bugs me.
Just researched this today after talking to some Aussies about it!

The problem is that Australia is so married to coal that they have no national electrical grid strategy, including transmission line investment, so it’s harder to get generation to load centers (“follow the sun” generation”). They also don’t have natural gas to fill in when renewable generation dips (unlike the US).

The solution is going to be a lot of utility battery storage (Hornsdale Power Reserve Tesla battery is currently being expanded, for example), more renewables, and actual transmission infrastructure investment.
I would stopped damaging my hearing almost a decade before I did.
It would be nice if actual statistics were floating around that identified causes of drug addiction. I grew up surrounded by crack and heroin addicts, anecdotally not a single one I met was pushed opiods by a doctor, they instead had a lifetime of drug seeking behavior and pooled money with other drug addicts, and whatever was cheap and available on the streets they took which often was heroin (now synthetics like fentanyl). In that same country pushing drugs by doctors was not common like it seems it is common in the US, yet we still had an enormous out of control street addict problem with no end in sight.

It would also be interesting to see Portugal research as they decriminalized all drugs, if they still have an out of control street addict problem and culture of drug taking, or Japan research why they don't have a drug taking culture.
Could someone actually vote with their wallet here and buy an American made — not assembled — phone? (I'm under the impression that the best case is that the parts are fabricated in China and assembled in the US, e.g., Apple phones.)

Terminal cancer sucks.
The ethos of documenting and describing research in detailed technical publications has been around for a very long time. That supplemental data I referenced has a phenomenal amount of detail and is only one example. They have done as good a job of open sourcing as is possible. Having read other papers from those lab chiefs (Zare, Houk, Baran, Grubbs, Stoltz) I know that they are scrupulous about the detail they publish.

Even so, very few people will be able to replicate that work outside without a very well funded laboratory or collaboration of their own. Lab notebooks contain a vast amount of tangential or irrelevant data which are distilled into the publication. What good is a process document for obtaining an x-ray structure if the diffractometer costs a fortune and is a shared departmental or even national resource? In your example, how deep does the bill of materials go? Is it sufficient to state that one needs a Bruker FTIR or Coherent optical parametric oscillator or do those have to be decomposed into the lowest-level components?
US market has been open, so when a Chinese state-owned entity dumps products American consumers buy said products as they only see a product at a cheaper price. How is that hypocritical? The only thing that has been hypocritical was the Chinese blocking of market access via tariffs and nontraditional market barriers in order to favor local entities while demanding market access to others.
I don't actually have any idea what you are saying.
When I first looked at the website, I thought that it looked like a nice student assignment or a weekend project. But seeing that you are already attempting to monetize this website and that you are treating this somewhat seriously, I have to tell you that your software is lightyears behind the chess opening modules of professional chess software such as ChessBase 15 or Chess Assistant 12.

Ford Rangers are really popular too. This is a recent thing with Toyota, Ford, Mitsubishi and Holden (GM) all shutting down locally in the last 10 or so years, therefore all current trucks are US/foreign designed.
For someone just starting out they would get stuck on this very first problem, it involves recursion. People 'get' recursion, but coding it is something different.
How Much Did Russian Spy Agencies Rely on Bitcoin
You have it backward, the parts themselves are usually created in Fab's outside of China while they are assembled (most labor-intensive process) in China. The whole article is about how Huawei is extremely dependent on components outside of China but has shifted from mostly US chips to EU, Taiwanese, Japanese, and South Korean Chips.
Yes? Surveillance is common worldwide and Huawei is a popular brand in the region.

I'm guessing you're curious if the Chinese government is using some hidden backdoor in Huawei products to spy on Hong Kong residents who would otherwise be acting privately.
Thanks!

my own strategy is to try to get it explained to me in as many different ways as possible; I think it's often easiest to learn by integrating a bunch of different viewpoints of the same thing.

on the other hand, I haven't had a lot of luck with calculus, so who knows.
For almost any developer salary, you can go out and hire someone for half the amount, so it seems like just a matter of whether the benefit outweighs the costs.
Maybe that's true but I think we should assume they do their own R&D as well.
Send Your Name to Mars: InSight
Alluding to CCP usage of DPI (baseless?) and saying how it can also be implemented in another jurisdiction if they so desire in order to enforce the usage of their own home grown solutions (or possibly pursing other more constructive options that one person in this thread caught on to, and actually decided to share their vision of with us [I guess I didn't alienate that person enough?]), threatens people so much? Or is it the way I said it?

The real emotional response is how often the EU has to hit up the giants for cash to appease their population, for nothing seemingly changing between the next time they decide to crack open the piggy bank and the headlines hit the tape. Do we even know how all the funds that were received from past fines were allocated exactly (line items)? Or is that just some black box people are supposed to feel good about because it game from the bad guy?

If people are taking offense to talking about things like this really shuts down their ability to think and discuss things… setting aside the fact that I don't even live in the US or the EU… well good luck to them…
The United States is still better at technology, and Russia is better at espionage. Never underestimate the underdog.

There was a massive article on the modern KGB under Putin in 2017(?), I think in the Atlantic. They basically managed to hack into some offline Pentagon systems by distributing infected USB drives around that location, through different outlets, in the hopes that an unsuspecting target will use a USB drive on a secure system, and then insert it on a wired machine. Boom. It worked.
> I think they would be fine for someone starting out at coding.

The earlier ones, perhaps, but professional programmers struggle with the later ones. I’d never suggest that some one new to programming tries to do all of AoC.
If you're medium fast, they start out in the single digit or tens of minutes range and ramp up to some 60+ minute puzzles the last handful of days (but also some 20 minute puzzles, it varies a lot).

I haven't done it since 2017, and I was pretty quick (made that year's overall leaderboard), but on average they took me about 23 minutes (for both parts).
We need the price of a big mac in c1350 is what you're saying?
I control a three-letter .org domain on behalf of a non-profit. Was offered $500K for it a decade ago, by a for-profit entity.

.org has never meant non-profit in reality.

Considering the non-profit this domain supports is 95 years old and the domain was registered in 1995, though, selling it and switching is a non-starter. Unnecessarily annoying times ahead.
"Roughly 21 to 29 percent of patients prescribed opioids for chronic pain misuse them. Between 8 and 12 percent develop an opioid use disorder." [0]

"According to the 2017 NSDUH, 14.1 million adults ages 18 and older (5.7 percent of this age group) had AUD (Alcohol Use Disorder)." [1]

depending on your definition of "vast", these seem to support GP's claims (certainly not an "outright lie"). the rates compared here aren't quite apples-to-apples, but they do suggest the rate of addiction to alcohol is pretty similar to that of opioids.

East European cars used to be made with local parts (don't know if 100% local) but they were still crap. In West Europe communists and leftist anarchists used to buy them as value statement.

Maybe the chips are okay (they've done well stealing IP) but I'd expect software to be shittier and riskier to use compared to iOS, so meh. No doubt they do well in 3rd world countries and price-sensitive market segments.
Couldn't agree more. Well put.
