Point of information: that’s not the reason or at least not the primary one. Many of the colonies had an established Church and the framers did not want the Federal government impinging on states rights. Eventually all the states did disestablish but the last of those did so years after the constitution was ratified.

I don’t know what any of that has to do with Santa hats. Anecdote time: We are as I mentioned in my other comment Hindus. When my kids were little they were into Christmas as much as any other American children and we followed certain traditions but my daughter in particular was peeved that we never had a Christmas tree. (No ideological reason I just couldn’t be bothered.). Recently she mentioned this to her friend who then gave her a small tree as a present. That friend? A hijab-wearing Algerian Muslim.
As an atheist who received a Catholic education, I think calling a Santa hat a religious symbol is a stretch - Saint Nicholas is generally not depicted or described as wearing a "Santa" outfit. It's really more of a Western culture symbol rather than anything.

I agree with the assessment of some of the other posts that the guy who opened the issue is either trolling, or has made an attempt at satire that was taken too seriously.
I'm tempted to exclude the Axiom of Choice (AC) from any math I do, and instead include the Axiom of Determinacy (AD) [1] (which contradicts AC), so that all subsets of R^n are measurable [2] (thus precluding the Banach–Tarski paradox), and the Axiom of Dependent Choice (DC), which is weaker than AC but sufficient to develop most of real analysis. Like, I don't really care if not all vector spaces have a basis; it's enough for me that all interesting vector spaces do (I think).

But then we have this (from [3]):

> For each of the following statements, there is some model of ZF¬C where it is true:

> - In some model, there is a set that can be partitioned into strictly more equivalence classes than the original set has elements, and a function whose domain is strictly smaller than its range. In fact, this is the case in all known models.

So it's really, pick your own poison - either one of these:

- you can take apart a ball and put the pieces back together into two balls

- there exists a function whose range is larger than its domain

Math is weird.

Imagine future cashless society with mobile-only payments. And a smart-car that needs a phone to open/start. And a smart-home with front-door unlocked with a phone. If you loose/break your phone - no problem, you can replace it with a new one, borrow one or use that old phone you keep in a drawer just in case. Not a huge deal. But if your account gets locked you have a problem. I'm afraid we as a society are giving too much control to a few corporations. It's not that of a problem yet of course
You summarised my feeling towards most AAA games these days. I bought a PS4 Pro a couple of years ago that saw almost zero use, bought some good games, started them and... Got demotivated playing as I knew what would be the end result: grind this, get this skill, get that ability, follow this quest, this will open up the story, etc. I sold it in less than a year.

Even when the process was enjoyable (as in playing Souls-like games) because your own skill is improving it was very lacklustre compared to my other more recent hobbies (such as music), it gave me a sense of accomplishment that is very narrow, it only applies to that particular game and it isn't a skill that is broadening me as an individual. And then I realised I didn't like this kind of game anymore.

I'm still very much up for playing short games (or games I can play in a burst and let it sit), couch multiplayer/co-op games, etc., games that are an activity while socialising but single-player grind-y games aren't my thing anymore, they are too time consuming for my life nowadays.

My bad, I read “confidence” and put “certainty” in their mouth. I can agree other already understood factors exist, and may confound the problem. But confounding != negation. And the health effects of air pollution are well understood and bad enough that denying the link from pollution -> depression is equivalent to denying link from bad health -> depression.

I use Google's products because they're good (Search, Youtube, Maps, Docs, Chrome up until last week's update). If my account disappeared tomorrow, I would lose a few non-essential files on my google drive and that's about it. Not using Android makes things easier because it means that my contacts and payment methods aren't associated with my google account.

The whole movement of trying to completely de-google yourself and being in fear of account suspension seems absolutely paranoid. Use the services that you like, mix up your email/storage/etc. providers if you prefer - no need to completely silo yourself off one company.
The reason for people being upset is not the drug usage, which is actually not much of an issue (arguably less so than in other countries). The local drug policies actually work in preventing that from becoming an epidemic issue like elsewhere.

The real reason is the high profile violent murders of witnesses, lawyers, etc. associated with trials of high profile criminals with Moroccan roots. This particular minority has been the focus of populist politicians for decades because of the much higher crime rates in that community (compared to other minorities). Murders and assassinations are of course not specific to that minority. Recently, re-convicted Willem Holleder (famous for his part in kidnapping Freddie Heineken in the eighties) is basically in jail for ordering the liquidation of several of his criminal partners. Unlike his Moroccon colleagues he's somewhat of a celebrity and has been for decades.

In any case drug production and export is of course illegal but not considered much of a problem as long as people don't go about machine gunning each other down. I'm not a user of any of this stuff but if other people want to take some pills, smoke some weed, or snort some cocaine that's fine with me. I doubt it's very good for you but most people doing this seem to not end up being homeless drug addicts. The ones that do tend to have psychological issues. Decriminalizing them seems like a humane thing to do. In any case, legalizing this stuff so people don't have to engage with and enrich hardcore criminals would probably be a good thing. Like it or not, this is a multi billion dollar business and it's not going away.

Ask HN: How does rich benefit from charitable tax write-offs?
I am aware donated income is being written off from the taxable income and they don't have to pay income tax on that component. Yet on a whole, they are giving away the donation amount, which is a lot higher than any tax benefits that they might get. Of course, the government gets fewer taxes but the rich overall pays more.
Ask HN: How Do You Optimize Your Intake of Information
As someone with varied interests, I feel myself being pulled in a thousand different directions of things I want to know more about.

This leads to a sense of anxiety and dread as I realize life is much too short to pursue all my interests.

Ideally, I'd make peace with that fact and choose one or two parts of the Universe to really care about, but my mind just doesn't seem to work that way. I'm not even sure I'd want it to.
This is a great, informed take. Thank you for the rich context!
To cut through the not particularly helpful analogies, the core result (which the article finally mentioned near the end) seems to be finding a situation where the Euler equations work, but only for a finite time before hitting a singularity. Previously, the only known cases either hit a singularity immediately or never hit one, i.e. every case either works forever or doesn't work at all.
1) There is no Facebook, Apple and Google on the list of "location data" companies. These guys have records on you for years of tracking and it didn't cause nytimes to create a fancy article on them?

2) Funny how the only big company mentioned in the article is Apple, while iOS is far more difficult to convince to share location data with 3rd parties compared to Android.
> They should be able to describe the motion of any fluid under any circumstances — and for more than two centuries, they have.

The Euler equations neglect viscosity.

> They also assume that fluids are “incompressible,” meaning that under the rules of the Euler equations, you can’t squeeze a fluid into a smaller space than the one it already occupies.

The Euler equations are compressible flow equations.

---

These two mistakes could have been corrected had the author read the first sentence of the wikipedia page about the Euler equations.

The TL;DR is that there are two papers that show that under many assumptions, simplified versions of the Euler equations (which are already a big simplification), blow up.

Pure TUI is not optimal, but it still beats available mouse-based interface. At the very least, moving around the code is much faster with incremental search than with scrolling and spotting.

I'm still waiting for a code reading program that supports drawing on top of the code and that would otherwise behave like an infinite desk with (searchable, linkable, annotateable) code printouts on it.

Funnily (or not) XMPP was designed to replace them all, at least functionally. Too bad there wasn't an XMPP champion pushing the development early on.
I try to avoid sarcasm online. It can be taken the wrong way. But I would like to welcome the NYT to 20 years or so ago when Google realized that there was money in the data. Or ten years ago or so, as privacy advocates started seriously bouncing off the walls realizing that we were tagging and tracking people in a way dictators of the past could only dream of. I'm glad they might be catching up, but for a big news organization like that, it's sad to see it take so long.

I wonder if, like so many of these blow ups in the past, there'll just be a spike of public interest and then it'll all die away. One of the most amazing things about the news in the last few years is how stories that used to have international, severe impact and political repercussions just drift off into the ether now. No follow-up, no continuing coverage. It's all about immediate spikes in shares, likes, tweets, and readers. They know people don't care about the follow-up that much; heck the data tells them that. So there's no follow-up, only the next sensation.

I hope this amounts to something. I have my reservations.
Or save that character by removing the space before `[]` instead (which you can’t do if you write `n`).
The self-rating is useful because it gives you a measure of their perceived proficiency in skills relative to each other. You still have to ask a question like you did, but now that you know that "3/5 stars in Node" means advanced beginner level, you have a good idea what to expect when they rate their SQL skills 5/5 or their CSS 2/5.

In my opinion Windows Phone 8 is still far ahead of Android in terms of usability. It has at least 3 features I wish Google would just copy.

If you want to analyze it that way, it's a secular Christian symbol, not a Western symbol. There's plenty of westerners that don't do the Christmas.
How would you know this without any reliable data regarding pre-industrialization depression levels? Maybe depressed people congregate around urban areas, seeking fulfilment or acceptance, or any other explanation.
Hmm, yes, but then you're in the realm of trying to convince non-privacy savy people to use other services that replace the tracking ones.

Its all extremely frustrating and does nothing to ease my anxiety!

I don't disagree in principle with the idea that the physical aspects of/influences on depression are worth studying.

I do, however, think the overall approach we are taking towards depression as a society is fundamentally backwards. We have a massive industry that is focused around producing psychiatric medication so that people can more effectively operate in the society we've structured around them, but we didn't even stop to consider the idea that maybe it is the systems we've built around them that are pathological in themselves.

We have this basic notion that if someone doesn't fit in with this social mold we've built that it must be a fault in them, it must be a sickness they suffer from that prevents them from thriving in the ways we expect them to. But why are we not asking ourselves whether the square hole that we are trying to shove their round peg into isn't the problem in itself? Why do we think we are helpless to change things on a systemic level? We grate against the idea that the world we've built might be a bad fit for us, and not the other way around.

Instead, we have pathologized what is an entirely natural reaction to the world people live in. We think we need medication to make humans fit better into this system, but really it is the system that is failing us. We built this world for us to live in, why did we make it so incredibly hostile to human happiness?
If you are recognising the error, you now have something that you didn't know before. Also your tooling and process should be sufficient that a single error shouldn't have a negative impact on the business, it should ideally be caught in testing or code review. Sometimes it can be productive to think about how bad code can break the product and use that to feed back into your development process.
Simply not true. Vedic Sanskrit is quite different from classical Sanskrit. If you track the meaning of individual terms across texts from different eras - even famous ones like 'Dharma'- you'll notice that Sanskrit words are polysemic and have changed in meaning.
That's been my impression as well. There are plenty of stories here with zero context that go right over my head, and I wonder what stuff I might post that would go right over someone else's...

Don’t be silly. You’re leaping from nitpicking to a blanket assumption that the author is completely clueless.

Elsewhere in the article: The Euler equations are not a literal description of a real-world fluid. They include several nonphysical assumptions.

The author does in fact know about the subject.

> The German Personalausweis is basically a stateless ID-1 passport.

And as property it belongs to the state, not the citizen. You are required and expected to have it on you at all times. You are also required to report it missing.

When I moved to the US, I was baffled that IDs are basically just driving licenses and you only have them if you... well have a driving license.

I guess it's about where you draw the line in the end. I understand that many US Americans feel threatened by the federal government as it is perceived autocratic to be forced to carry a government issued identification card at all times.

For me, it just guarantees that it is harder for someone else to walk around and impersonate me with some shitty fake ID.

I agree, I think there are a few things in the Windows file explorer that conspire against its good performance (file preview is a big factor, but recycle bin content seems to affect it too), and it does seem to get worse over time. I think there's a market now for a third party 'back to basics' explorer.
Yeah Svelte is the next thing. Backbone and Angular were great, but then came Vue and React. Vue and React were great, but then came Svelte. It's:

- Simpler. You change values with `=` not some method call.

- Faster, as the svelte compiler dynamically creates bindings at build time, vs a virtual DOM that has to dynamically track binding at run time

- Smaller, since Svelte's output doesn't include Svelte.
I agree and even further: you cant trust security features by the company you got phone from. It is conflict of interests. On android at least you can remove google completely and use 3rd part application firewall like netguard, that is open source. Or xprivacy lua to fake the data. Google "security" is a joke. Trusting privacy settings to the company that makea billions by destroying the privacy. Nope. It wont work.
Ask HN: What's the typical founder's vesting terms for a Series A round?
I know this probably depends on a plethora of factors, but any information and examples will help a lot.

We are currently evaluating term sheets from potential investors at our 5 years old profitable, slowly growing, startup.

Y Combinator's standard Series A term sheet [1] only fills employee's vesting terms, leaving founder's vesting terms blank.

The original vesting schedule from the seed round ended two years ago, now I'm not sure what a fair schedule should be for our Series A, and whether or not a cliff period should also be included.

Thanks in advance!

And that's the problem, that it's going to be insidiously gradual. These lockouts will mostly be seen as acts of God, things that happen to the less fortunate other people and not us. As long as they're kept rare enough, people won't bother solving them, like what happens with countless other things.

No application should `require` location services to start/let you in.

If you have `Facebook` app installed first time, upon opening the app, there should not be any requirement to access location data.

Only at the point of posting with a 'Share Location' the app should request the Location tracking. And I don't see why it then needs to be permenantly permitted from then on. (Unless manually remove again)

They are scummy tactics and I agree, people just click okay to remove the inconvenience, but the creators are creating problems in order to get those 'Allow access'.

Its gross. Almost like selling a solution to a problem you created.
