Awareness is not gained with money. Awareness is gained with investment of effort. Pay and investment have older senses of work and outcome. They've come to also apply to money as a proxy for work and outcome, but the origin of the meaning is different.

It is interesting the degrees noted. In Hebrew there's the sense of investing your desire, which goes beyond effort to controlling what it is you want. People will naturally expend effort toward things they desire.

tl;dr: In English awareness is gained with effort (not money). It is a trade.

Why welcome people who run from problems rather than fixing them--especially when many are of considerable wealth, and are disproportionately responsible for the unsatisfactory condition of their own countries?

If we shut the door on wealthy Chinese/Indians/Saudis/Nigerians/etc, I'd bet big money that the condition of those countries would improve rapidly and substantially.
So, to be clear, your position is that the very concept of regulation is illegitimate?

Quantum Mechanics Shows That Our Universe Has Purpose
Whenever I see a language like this (niche and new yet more than a toy, minimal ecosystem/tooling support, and evolutionary - not revolutionary - improvements over a much more widely-used language), I have to wonder, who's actually using these languages, and in what contexts? Where does the build complexity/hiring difficulty/lack of tooling tradeoff make sense for the advantages that one of these languages offers in return?

I'm genuinely asking; any anecdotes out there?

Yes. I've always had trouble with goal setting mentalities, preferring opportunism. Maybe I'm a lucky bastard in the survivorship bias game, or maybe I'm just keeping my eyes open. It's always a bit of both. Setting goals feels too much like tunnel vision. Take what you can get
Telegram also has native, non-Electron apps, for many platforms, could it be an advantage? It also has convenient public chats and "channels" (microblogs). It has support for proxy servers, allows sharing proxy servers and has traffic obfuscation which Signal (I assume) doesn't have.

But for me Telegram and Signal are equally insecure because they don't allow anonymous accounts without a phone number. Using phone number for authentication is insecure because it is very easy to intercept SMS messages, especially if you are a telecom or the government. You better avoid using such messengers and not support them unless you want to provide your ID in future for registration on any website.

Yes, this was a big reason why it was initially named the Spanish Flu. At the time that it began (with the war still on) Spain was one of the few countries that did not have very stringent press censorship in place.

This is discussed in several sources, but this is the one I had most readily available:

"In a month or two everyone outside of Spain was calling it "Spanish influenza," not because it originated there, but probably because Spain, still a nonbelligerent, had no wartime censorship to keep its health problems secret from the world. An estimated eight million Spaniards caught flu in May and June. The Spanish claimed that it had come from the battlefields of France, blown over by the strong winter winds, and that it would have been even worse but for the snowy Pyrenees."

The kernel is composed of a bunch of independent source files which share headers; thus, running them through a preprocessor would massively overcount the LoC. (In theory, this would get you the “actual compiled LoC” but that’s a useless metric because most header files are just declarations that are easy to parse and “compile”).
Lived in Padova with Sicilian roomates for a year, and they certainly talked about it.

I mean, they kind of roll their eyes if it's the first thing someone mentions, because Sicily is an incredible, beautiful place with great food, beaches and Mt Etna - it's much more than the stereotype from the movies.

But it's an undeniable fact of life just the same.

Or maybe the need and justification is that multiple similar but incompatible charging standards is wasteful and annoying. As that's the stated reason, it seems a bit more likely than "for the sake of flex".

Is government regulation of non-goverment tech illegitimate? That would be most all regulation then.
Key quote:

"The fact that asymptomatic persons are potential sources of 2019-nCoV infection may warrant a reassessment of transmission dynamics of the current outbreak. In this context, the detection of 2019-nCoV and a high sputum viral load in a convalescent patient (Patient 1) arouse concern about prolonged shedding of 2019-nCoV after recovery."

In plain language:

* individuals can transmit 2019-nCoV before developing symptoms;

* individuals may or may not be able to transmit it after recovery to some extent (this is not yet known); and

* current predictions for the size outbreak may have to be revised to account for these transmission features.
I hate to break it to you, but modern technology is painfully simple compared to what the older people in charge used growing up. People who are in their 40s now grew up having to assign IRQs in their modem to download porn. Today, young people use iPads and have no idea how computers work.

Let's not forget that the report we saw last week proved nothing.

The company testing his device were poorly equipped (skills wise) to perform such an analysis and basically chose the answer they wanted with weak to no real evidence.

The comment about e2e making it virtually impossible to know what was in the payload immediately put me off anything they said; they had the end of the e2e in their hands and thus everything they needed to decrypt the payload.

Someone posted a wrapper script proving all the tools needed already existed.

The article is based on that report and thus is immediately unfounded speculation.
But IIRC there were dramatically more strict restrictions during WWI. Certainly in all the european countries busy fighting. (Famously, Bertrand Russell got himself locked up for six months for giving a lecture about whether the US should enter the war.)

Ask HN: I can't specialize, how to differentiate myself?
As a DevOps Engineer, I'm asked to work on countless random things all the time. It's hard to specialize which means each new project is a struggle from scratch.

I see a lot of comments criticizing your path and progress. Making remarks like "why didn't you stay at Google".

I applaud your decision, effort, and perseverance. I admire your risk taking and having skin in the game. Trying to make it out on your own.

People forget the journey is not just about the money. It's about learning, growing and bringing your ideas to life. Being an artist, and expressing yourself through products.

Keep on going my friend. There's no doubt you'll get there.
Great point. If you stay somewhere for such a long time, you are much more likely than the average tourist to use government services, meaning you start to consume other people's tax dollars.

As such, it makes a lot of sense for the government to charge you lots of money extra for a longer stay, which is what most of them do.
>Assange who is being persecuted. Second, he himself has been ill-treated to the point that he is now exhibiting symptoms of psychological torture.

And then

>In summary: Julian Assange uncovered torture, has been tortured himself

This is one of the reasons I don't trust this rapporteur, because he seems to make those claims interchangeably when they very clearly aren't the same thing. Can you show signs of psychological torture without someone actually torturing you? Yes. So either make the real claim - that someone has been torturing him and explain why. Or make the PR claim - that he has shown symptoms of psychological torture. But don't swing back and forth between two very different things.

The guy literally repeats thoroughly debunked tropes from Assange's defence.

>Why would a person be subject to nine years of a preliminary investigation for rape without charges ever having been filed?

Because the person they were investigating left the country and then put up one of the most extensive appeals against extradition in history and then fled to an embassy. If Assange had complied with the extradition those charges would have been filed when he returned to Sweden within months of the investigation being opened.

You know, you can't have it both ways, you can't claim it's terrible it's been going on so long for a process that was deliberately dragged out.

As far as I remember, this piece of legislation has been floating around since USB mini. We have now gone through 2 revisions to a connector that is now reversible and can carry video. Locking onto USB-C now could be a very "640k ought to be enough for everybody" moment.

And if Apple was going to switch to USB C anyways, whats the point of this legislation?
There is a difference between awareness and judgement. What Tarkovsky is asking you to do is shut down your judgement to gain awareness. In the words of Alan Watts "You must go out of your mind to come to your senses." If by shallow you mean bringing your awareness to something other than your thoughts, you are correct.

Gaining awareness of emotions is the first step in understanding how thoughts and conditions induce emotional states. This understanding facilitates ownership of one's own emotional responses. Harsh self-judgement shuts down this process, which is why narcissists are incapable of self-reflection.

I think you have it backwards.
RE2 syntax[1] is a pretty good option to learn, because it's mostly a "lowest common denominator" - if it works in RE2, it should work in PCRE, Python, Javascript, etc. The reverse isn't true - there is a bunch of syntax that RE2 doesn't support by design, often to constrain performance bounds.

Emacs regexps are unfortunately their own weird beast - they handle parentheses differently than other regexp engines, because Emacs assumes that you'll be running regexps on Lisp code a lot and want to easily match parentheses. The best documentation on that syntax is (confusingly) in the Elisp reference manual: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Sy....

It's nice to see something other than e^(ᴨi)=-1.

If I had to get a math tattoo, I think I'd go for lim n→∞ Q_n^(1/n) = e^(ᴨ^2/(12 log 2)).

That comes from a theorem proved by Khinchin and Lévy. Khinchin proved that for almost all real numbers if you take the sequence of convergents of their continued fraction expansion, {P_1/Q_1, P_2/Q_2, ...}, then the sequence {Q_1, Q_2^(1/2), Q_3^(1/3), ...} approaches a limit, which is the same limit for almost all real numbers. Then Lévy determined the value of that limit, which is now called either Lévy's constant or the Khinchin–Lévy constant.

If not that, then this (in standard math notation rather than the verbose notation I'm using here):

Line 1: Let H_n = sum i=1 to n 1/n

Line 2: Hypothesis: sum d|n d < H_n + e^H_n log(H_n) for all n > 1

That's neat because that hypothesis is true if and only if the Riemann hypothesis [1] is true [2].

The Riemann hypothesis is a conjecture about complex numbers, and is widely considered to be the most important unsolved problem in pure mathematics. That it turns out to be equivalent to a such a simple conjecture involving just integers and a couple real functions from pre-calculus is a surprise.

That's not about "not being ready", the GPU really doesn't care whether the numbers it is multiplying are coefficients of a matrix or a bivector.

The problem is that all libraries, drivers, etc. use matrices, quaternions and vectors. So you would have to constantly convert back and forth, which is both error-prone and a non-trivial performance problem.

Of course, you could build your own libraries for everything, but that's just crazy. Who has time for doing that?

Not to mention that writing a mathematical library like that is a highly non-trivial task. Not just the algebra part but also numerical stability and accuracy are a big deal. That requires a very skilled person, naive implementations will rapidly blow up in your face.

And doing all this what for, exactly? So that the GA explanation of rotations doesn't require 4 dimensions while the math complexity of rotor algebra ends up being the same as with quaternions? So there isn't really a performance benefit neither.
> We cannot have people stuck in an era 3 decades old deciding the fate of our country as it goes into the future. They are simply not equipped to deal with today's problems, let alone tomorrow's.

This is not a function of age. It's a function of whether or not people are engaging in continuing education.

There are many young people who are simply not equipped to handle today's problems too, after all, and there are many older people who are fully up to date.
Compare and contrast with monarchs, as the Framers did.

Edit: While I'd like to build out the analogy further, there's only one data point that I can find in the missing quadrant: The Philippines have a limited number and duration of terms for their legislators. One data point is not enough to even identify a single confounding factor, and there's too many ways in which the USA and the Philippines differ.
The cheapest worn out beater I could find. I can get up to freeway speed, but I need my foot all the way to the floor for the entire on ramp.

My car isn't my status symbol. My bank account is enough that I don't worry about downturns too much and I'll be able to retire to a nice life in the future (assuming civilization doesn't collapse)

The joint motion points to adopting Directive 2014/53/EU which requires common _chargers_ but says nothing about the port that the phone uses. As far as I can tell this is only for the back half of the charger / brick that connects to the wall.

Yet the Apple statement, and most of the articles about this (including the linked one), are talking about the phone's connector and talks about lightning and usb-c. Most of the comments online are talking about how this forces Apple to use usb-c.

So, which is it? Isn't this just regulating the power bricks / back half of the charging equation? I don't see anything in the joint motion or directive stating a connector on a device has to be uniform at all.

Fair enough, but even considering that, the other states at the top of the list are a grab bag consisting of some of the worst states in terms of environmental regulations. My point is that there is no absolute correlation with environmentalism and poverty.
Isn't everyone entitled to an opinion though? What you're hitting on, I think, is that the so-called "toxicity" of the internet is just broad disintermediation. Previously, a few people controlled the public narrative. Now, everyone does. Turns out most people don't very much like the worldview that the media elite pushes.

Journalism is dying because it's become not only useless as a means of information dissemination --- new media is better at that --- but also because journalists have become contemptuous of the public. They have only themselves to blame.
Not for me; it just tries to show me Joe Rogaine videos all day. One damn video did this! I want to punch the guy who sent it to me. Oh wait, guess I've been radicalized.

FWIIW all the chimping in the threads about death threats: these were extremely common in the old days of Usenet too. I've lost track of them; from all kinds of arguably insane people, satanic cults even; more recently lunatic grad students mad I made fun of their field on my blog. So was doxxing. Nothing ever happened, and I have no respect for people who report them like it's news. While it's probably happened by now that someone's internet beef turned into actual violence, the ratio is absurdly low. If you can't abide some idiot being mad at you, stay off the internet I guess.

This is an instance where I oppose the idea in the abstract, but support it in the specifics: USB-C has finally achieved a degree of "good enough" (naming/labeling issues notwithstanding) to be the ideal universal connector.

It's far easier to be negative than to be positive. I think people who would normally try to be more positive have just given up trying. Everything has gone downhill; there's virtually no serious journalism anymore (it's all ad-money seeking with link-bait headlines), people who claim to be "leaders" are not setting good examples (they act like bad children!), etc. So people just have accepted this is the way it is.

One interesting story from The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History by John M. Barry:

"Freetown, Sierra Leone, was a major coaling center on the West African coast, servicing ships traveling from Europe to South Africa and the Orient. On August 15 the HMS Mantua arrived there with two hundred crew suffering from inﬂuenza. Sweating black men loaded tons of coal into her, guided by several crew. When the laborers returned to their homes, they carried more than their wages. Soon inﬂuenza spread through the force of men who coaled the ships. [...] The transport HMS Chepstow Castle, carrying troops from New Zealand to the front, coaled at Freetown on August 26 and 27; within three weeks, out of her 1,150 men, inﬂuenza struck down nine hundred of them. The death toll on her was thirty-eight. "
