If this is substantiated, it will be retrodicted by any number of theories.

I keed, I keed... but I'm also partially serious. There's been a ton of theories over the years that would produce new particles, whose only flaw is that those particles weren't found. It wouldn't be at all surprising if there are past theories that with just a little tiny sensible tweak will turn out to contain this particle, and possibly also some other explanation as to why it wasn't found until now. In a sense, that's just a rephrasing of the fact that particle physics has been starved for data over the past couple of decades. No shortage of ideas, but no data to test them against. It really wouldn't be that surprising that several of the tons of ideas will be able to easily accommodate this new data, even as others are completely destroyed by it.
Hey, thank you. Looks like the submission has been flagged already, so don't know whether its still going to be relevant to HN users, but I'm gona email you. Thank you.

I can drive both left and right hand side. It all works great but if I switch frequently and I need to downshift for turns and sit on the right hand side invariably I'll hit the door really hard. I can't seem to get that bit reprogrammed to the point that it is not happening.
You must admit that this is all they can do. Management has no clue about quality of software or how to achieve it. For them incidents either just happen randomly or are completely unexpected. So all they can actually control is the pace of change of the product and what incomplete, unsound features make it into this week's release...
Absolutely. Also, isn't part of the point of investing to defer your taxable positions until a later point when you hope to have a lower rate. This idea seems silly and I don't think that is what Robinhood is planning. They just want to be the investment brand of default in 20 years and they are doing whatever they can to get young people hooked now including letting them buy 0.1% of a single share of Facebook.
Not really directly related to the article, but YouTube recently recommended to me a series of videos from "Strange Loop" which is some kind of tech conference. One of the talks was "Jagged, ragged, awkward arrays" by Jim Pivarski [1]. It is fairly narrow in scope talking about a very particular data modelling problem but it introduced me to the kind of data processing physicists do to make these kinds of discoveries. Just wanted to share in case anyone else finds this kind of thing interesting.

For some values of "those" yes, for others No. Some are receivers that can only receive but you can also get transmitters or transceivers that will do both. Most of the cheap dongles are receive only. Disclaimer: Your local laws regarding the legality of transmitting (or even receiving) on a particular frequency at any given power may vary.
Part of the problem is inaccurate job descriptions. They should be structured with transparent weights attached to specific requirements. They are currently written by lawyers and for lawyers. If a job description requires automated parsing, it contains too much irrelevant to jobseeker content.

So far, they only do that for travel time estimates.

An interview is like passing an acceptance test. It would be nice to know the actual acceptance criteria and other metrics.
I think it would lead to an increase in socialization. I am unable to join service leagues or social organizations because the 4-5 hours between work and sleep at night are precious to me and my family. If I did not have that thought hanging over my head, I would volunteer more or just go do social things more in a formal setting.

I think others would echo that sentiment.

The UI library is also GTK, or at least GTK of a bygone era.
The delay after taking long exposures is caused by the camera taking a dark frame with the same exposure length as your actual image. When you take a long exposure, the sensor can exhibit noise caused by "hot pixels". The dark frame is taken with the shutter closed so that the camera can get an image of just the hot pixel noise, which it then subtracts from your actual long exposure.

You can turn this off in the settings, but I imagine it's way easier for the camera to correct for this specific kind of noise than for Lightroom to do so.

I believe it kicks in once the exposure length is >2" on my Sony A7ii.
Don't listen to the rule followers! There are no SDRs out there with enough power to be much of a nuisance to anyone. Do look up what the band is for. Do watch it for a few hours or days to confirm it is clear, but seriously if you don't interfere with anyone the FCC isnt paying you a visit. Even if you do insist on following the rules, just stick to ism bands. 315 ( key fobs) (2.5ghz wifi bluetooth) and one around 900. You can go full blast on any sdr and not get close to the half watt limit.
From memory I believe the "Ruimte voor de rivieren" project was designed for peak discharges of around 15k m3/s, but could very well be wrong there. Normal discharge is much much lower. Just wanted to see if the extreme scenario is remotely feasible (which I would say it is, though it's pretty far out).

But if there is enough buffer capacity then of course you only have to dimension the pumps for longer term average high discharge, and not peak discharge.

Edit:
Just found this: https://edepot.wur.nl/84989

1/1250 year Rhine discharge at Lobith is found to be and as higher discharges will cause major flooding upstream instead of reaching Lobith directly this should be about the max to expect. Such a peak discharge would be part of a high water period with discharges up to 15 consecutive days of >10.000m3/s, so you would need a pretty big buffer.
I couldn’t disagree more. We live on a finite planet with limited resources. It hardly matters what the PPP is if they destroy the oceans we all use. The planet is only capable of sustaining so much. Having more people doesn’t give a nation some sort ethical imperative to have a higher GDP.
Great to hear we resonate!

This is a valid point, I kind of admit these are sort of first-world problems. But my main motivation for raising this issues in the first place is to learn better, process information more effeciently, have better memory, and this is something I wish to use to work, learn and reason about things that really matter, like climate change or solving poverty, etc.

Regarding tracking less -- I guess people are different, I do know people who are happy to just stick to 'move more, eat less'. For me personally such maintenance is boring, and looking at stuff like workout/sleep data etc really motivates me to learn more about it and keep going. I really hate going for another run but at least I'll have a datapoint after it!

I feel like the actually stressful bit is having to think about tracking. If it was done automatically and you didn't have to think about it, then why not? You'd always find people who are obsessed about doing (or not doing) things even without counting I guess.

fwiw, a minor (so, ~4 uni classes) is not what I would flex as credentialization in a subject. Especially when you go on to bring up such an elementary part of linguistics.

It's kind of like introducing yourself as a compsci minor and then explaining OOP vs FP. I'd just leave off the creds, there's no need.

I'd add a #4, when you have such low volume that it just isn't worth it to put up a full system, with the accompanying need for deployment, resources, monitoring, and additional knowledge and skills added to the minimum set of knowledge and skills your team must possess.

One must be careful not to use this as an excuse, of course, and keep an eye on the scaling concerns and certain other details. SQL-as-pubsub has certain well-known issues and anyone using it this way ought to be aware of them. But it's a thought worth having.

I've got a system I'm managing where Cassandra is the backend. I've got about 5 "documents" (in the MongoDB sense, let's say) I want to store in the system. I don't put up a whole "document DB" for them, I just have a table in Cassandra. I have in my entire system, one distributed lock I'd like to have per certain resource, of which I expect there to be single digit numbers of that resource over the lifetime of the system. Cassandra is not a great distributed locker, but it does work (and as far as I can tell, done properly, is also correct), so rather than install an entire distributed lock server, I use Cassandra.

Should this ever turn out to become a mistake, all code that uses either of these functions is cleanly isolated and I can easily swap them out later. I am aware of the possibility that could happen in the future and have prepared for it. In the meantime, I've avoided two entire systems being poorly deployed and understood in favor of the one system that is well-deployed and understood by the team.

A while back I ported several c++ libraries with emscripten and it's usually just 2-10x slower than native. It gets maybe another order of magnitude worse if you're a porting a library that heavily relies on vectorization which isn't available on the web.
I don’t have any issues.

But more importantly... nobody is asking ASD people to act “normally”. It’s just being noted that they tend to act in particular ways and suffer from particular stimuli and are generally more difficult for NT people to relate to.

I think this article grossly misapplies the term "testing" here. The 23andMe site barely contains the word "test" and that's probably because what they do does not fit with the standards and quality of actual medical testing.

Real genetic testing has very high standards for quality and accuracy and there are strict guidelines and regulations around how information is conveyed in reporting information back to requestors.
This is a highly disingenuous post.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_CRS-1#Secondary_payload

> Both SpaceX and Orbcomm were aware, prior to the mission, of the high risk that the secondary payload satellite could remain at the lower altitude of the Dragon insertion orbit, and that was a risk that Orbcomm agreed to take given the dramatically lower cost of launch for a secondary payload.

As for this...

> CRS-7's launch vehicle catastrophically failed, the cargo capsule ejected, but its parachutes didn't deploy (had it been a crewed mission, the astronauts would have died)

Had it been a crewed mission, the parachutes would've been active. It's not standard practice to have a escape rockets or armed parachutes on ascent for cargo flights, SpaceX or otherwise. Standards are different for crewed flights.
Or the classic book "Ignition!" pg 70-71.

On December 29, 1953, a technician at Edwards Air Force Base was examining a set of titanium samples immersed in RFNA, when, absolutely without warning, one or more of them detonated, smashing him up, spraying him with acid and flying glass, and filling the room with NO2. The technician, probably fortunately for him, died of asphyxiation without regaining consciousness.

There was a terrific brouhaha, as might be expected, and JPL undertook to find out what had happened. J. B. Rittenhouse and his associates tracked the facts down, and by 1956 they were fairly clear. Initial intergranular corrosion produced a fine black powder of (mainly) metallic titanium. And this, when wet with nitric acid, was as sensitive as nitroglycerine or mercury fulminate. (The driving reaction, of course, was the formation of TiO2.) Not all titanium alloys behaved this way, but enough did to keep the metal in the doghouse for years, as far as the propellant people were concerned.

Different oxidizer from SpaceX, but still useful as a data point.
Yeah, in my experience they are more likely Registry Hive destroyers. The Registry is intended to be read-heavy, and by vastly increasing the number of writes/deletions by regularly running a "Registry Cleaner" seems mostly to be a great way to corrupt Hive files.

Not surprising that suggesting social inequality might play a part gets you instantly downvoted. Despite being as plausible an explanation as other (more right wing) possibilities - 'diversity', 'women working' that proliferate in this thread. Its uncomfortable for highly paid tech workers to accept the reality that inequality damages social cohesion.

Nevertheless, If inequality is a major cause of this kind of alienation, it's a particular kind of inequality. Specifically people living in competition, and confronted by the impact of competition in close proximity. Some desperately unequal societies in South East Asia don't seem to have the same level of social dysfunction, while Japan which is relatively flat has enormous amounts of alienation, mental health issues, relationship decline, and of course suicide.
Not super surprised (because traditional media is bad at specialist topics--looks like they googled large conventional satellite makers and talked to a self-described expert, who unfortunately didn't provide a ton of context), but there was no mention of the obvious company/competitor that has demonstrated the technology in question:
https://spacenews.com/ubiquitilink-has-raised-12-million-for...

Ubiquitilink (now called just Lynk) demonstrated the ability to communicate with existing, unmodified cellphones from orbit (the prototype was a secondary payload on the Cygnus spacecraft, which had resupplied the International Space Station). This is a remarkable feat and puts the technology in a completely different camp than it was when large LEO constellations like Iridium were tried beforehand. Iridium failed to acquire enough customers before going bankrupt in part because they required an expensive and clunky handset. Being able to use existing GSM and LTE phones without bulky antennas (and in spite of the latency being beyond what GSM/LTE usually tolerates) is a breakthrough.

https://www.spaceitbridge.com/cell-tower-in-the-sky-ubiquiti...

They plan to start with SMS texting (can use very cheap satellites and don't require very many of them) and then voice/data later on. (Plan is to partner with existing providers to allow global texting anywhere on the planet.)

The second prototype is a satellite launched on a SpaceX Dragon to the International Space Station that will be assembled by astronauts: https://mobile.twitter.com/NexGenSpace/status/11550878931631...

It's a complete gamechanger (possibly even bigger than SpaceX's Starlink). Doubtless Apple realizes this potential and wants their own in to this. It's a legitimate way for Apple to use their huge amount of cash to legitimately grow their revenue significantly. And Apple has the advantage that they can make modifications to the phones (or tablets or watches or notebooks, etc) themselves. Apple can also afford multi-billion-dollar investments that take many years to come to fruition, something Iridium (and Globalstar and others) couldn't at that time.
Lots of mirror lens bashing :(

Bokeh is subjective. While the rings instead of filled circles resulting from a mirror lens look worse in many cases, I have seen cases where the 'rings' actually add to the image.
So apparently the economists analyzing the pin factory didn't even know how pin production actually worked? As Kay notes, it doesn't affect their conclusion, but interesting nonetheless.

There's also a neat dispute on the pin factory analysis I thought I'd share. Kevin Carson, drawing on work by Steven Marglin, argued that the pin factory example doesn't prove what Smith thinks it did, because it neglected the possibility of a single worker batching each step himself and reaping the same benefits[1]:

>Marglin took Adam Smith's classic example of the division of labor in pin-making, and stood it on its head. The increased efficiency resulted, not from the division of labor as such, but from dividing and sequencing the process into separate tasks in order to reduce set-up time. This could have been accomplished by a single cottage workman separating the various tasks and then performing them sequentially (i.e., drawing out the wire for an entire run of production, then straightening it, then cutting it, etc.).

George Reisman, in a Mises Institute article, disputed these claims [2], saying that you can't get the enhanced efficiency this way because of set-up time, tool duplication, the requirement to do it at scale to make a profit:

>If, for example, there were six distinct steps entailed in pin making, then instead of six workers working side by side continuously,in one factory, each continuously using a definite tool or piece of equipment, we would have, under cottage production, six cottage workers each performing a large volume of a given operation, while the tools and equipment required for the other five operations remained idle. His output from any given operation would also then remain idle until he finished that operation and turned to the next operation.

>The clear implication is that under the arrangement of cottage production so beloved of Carson and Marglin, the six workers would need between them thirty-six sets of tools and equipment instead of only six such sets and would have an unnecessarily large volume of partially finished product on hand at any given time. ...

>In sum, cottage production would entail a tremendous waste ofcapital and be enormously inefficient, ...

I didn't mean to present my opinion as fact, and apologies if it sounded as though I had some authoritative source on this view.

However, it seems I am not alone in this view.

> "Indeed, Smith suspected that those quickest to sing his praises had failed to understand the main arguments of his work. He later described The Wealth of Nations as a ‘very violent attack … upon the whole commercial system of Great Britain’. Despite this, his vocal political cheerleaders in Parliament continued to prop up the very system that Smith was railing against."
