I'm responding directly to your claim using your own words. Again you want to change the subject, which is fine.

> I think that disqualifies New York City from being deemed “functional” and “healthy.”

I made no claim for or against that point. I responded to your claim "almost no middle class families" which I believe to be false. Feel free to walk back that hyperbole if it isn't a true representation of your beliefs. If you want to make a point about how functional or healthy NYC is you should do so without making grossly exaggerated claims to support your argument.

based on the details shown on hover, looks like MRR is gross revenue, and "revenue" might be net revenue (gross revenue minus direct costs).
The Silencing of the Deaf (2014)
To be clear: the odds are against it assuming no confounding interference. And given that, I don't know that an error of 600 is really that much of a statement. I mean, just to invent an example (not the only possible one, obviously!):

Congenital blindness is likely diagnosed with near 100% certainty in early childhood. It's easy to spot. The same is very much NOT true of mental health problems. Schisophrenics are diagnosed, almost always, when their condition manifests in such a way to interfere with their life (or someone else's) to the extent that the doctors get called in. There are widely assumed to be LOTS of undiagnosed mental health cases in society, simply because the sufferers live in situations where their disorder can be managed (or suppressed!) in an ad hoc way.

Now, the question becomes: are blind people more likely to be living in a circumstance where their mental health troubles are more easily managed/ignored/suppressed without the involvement of doctors who would otherwise diagnose schizophrenia? That seems not at all unlikely to me.

And frankly: this kind of confounded measurement strikes me as MUCH MORE likely than a heretofore unrecognized link between vision and schizophrenia. Significant results require significant proof, and I don't think this is it.
How does that even look on an org chart?

I'm left with just questions at this point. Assume production, not development or UAT or staging or integration, etc.

How do you enforce that kind of compliance on SSH sessions? How do you audit for SSH sessions that invoke commands that mutate the state of the system? How do you account for configuration drift in the event that an SSH session mutates machine state outside of those compliance and auditing mechanisms?

Why are you SSHing in to curate installed packages on machines manually instead of letting a deployment agent/service take care of that?

Furthermore, what kind of environment are you operating in where your response to a hardware fault is to SSH in instead of immediately evacuating the workloads from the faulty machine, replacing it with a new one, and taking the machine to a triage location for further investigation?

Do you operate at a small enough scale where leaving a faulty machine active on the network, installing packages by hand, and SSHing to individual machines is actually sensible?

Do you have a lot of false hardware alarms where the response is to SSH in, run a few commands, and then bail when the going looks good? What kind of monitoring practices do you employ?
That was my best information as well- the process of initiating a wire transfer from their bank is likely too much friction in many cases.

Not to mention the lack of protection the buyer would feel, as compared to a Credit Card.
Cool, really cool. I really wish I could've seen that as a kid. Not asking, but logical next step is to go 3-D with straight-cut gears & helical-cut &c &c.

Anyone else play Gizmos & Gadgets as a kid? I can't help but flash back; I feel like that's how I learned "gearing" (and magnets, and maybe more..).
Agreed. Tab flashing has been disabled.
I suggest buying low-fee domestic index-tracking ETFs like "Vanguard S&P 500 ETF" (VOO), using a low-fee brokerage app like M1 Finance.

... or not. Your situation may call for something else. Any specific suggestions people give you will likely sound unnecessarily specific and perhaps arbitrary, unless you have spent a lot of time learning about the modern investing landscape -- you really need to do that for yourself.
Ouch. Did this happen on a Stripe-hosted checkout form, or did you use something like Stripe Elements to handle it yourself?
You're arguing from two different perspectives. Engineering is about producing an deliverables that just meet spec. If someone orders a temperature sensor that they ask to be 1° accurate then you are wasting your time designing something better^.

However the engineers in question at Boeing clearly failed to produce a design that performed to spec in normal operating conditions.

^ Yes, there are scaling factors where it might be cheaper to design a 0.1° accurate sensor and sell it to everyone because it would be more effort having two production lines but that's an optimization.
Tons of things have been canceled in APAC generally. MWC was arguably at least somewhat unique among shows in the Americas and Europe because of the combination of its size, the large Chinese presence, and timing. So far other events I'm aware of over the next couple of months are still on though, of course, that could change.
Desert Varnish
If memory serves, when the XZ1 Compact came out in the US, it was severely handicapped in some way, although memory escapes me as to why. Something like the fingerprint reader inside the power button was disabled due to a lawsuit, and the camera was awful if you went off the stock OS that Sony shipped.

Real pity. I held the phone in my hands at a Best Buy and got incredibly close to buying it.
It's still way more efficient to use it for that database, than running a dozen of hadoop nodes as VMs.
Do you have any further resources for this view? I'm very interested.

I have an uncle with severe schizophrenia, and a cousin with autism, and just recently noted in my journal how autism and schizophrenia seem to be the extremes of one's ability to reason about and categorize the world around them.

I never understood it until someone I know had it in his company car. He told me they pay for it because when they do long distance, FM networks would keep switching. That's when I understood their market. The current top comment is from a truck driver that pretty much confirm this.

In road trip you never had channels that stop receiving? They pay 5$ a month to avoid to switch in theses situations ;).
See https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/wiki/Chocolatey-Compari...

In general it is much simpler in its design and implementation. Most packages are portable and do not use installers. It doesn't have quite as many packages as chocolatey though.
I don’t, but there’s also a big difference between using a product that someone formerly led (and was asked to resign after it was bought to light), and another where the person is the CEO.

Andy Rubin has continued to deny all the allegations that Google HR internally confirmed , and WSJ reports Larry Page directly asked Andy to resign.

That’s pretty damning to me, and the lack of apology or even admission throughout the years is not a good reflection on his character.
i didn't understand that at all. i thought a director is a person elected by shareholders onto the board of directors. but i normally work for small companies!
I misused the word -- it should actually be the opposite, 'defensible.' I will edit my original post.

What I mean is that it can be a copout that hiring managers use and is hard to argue with. Almost everyone will agree that hiring the best for the job is the desirable outcome. It just takes for granted that all qualified applicants were even considered.
So they can only make part of the decision correctly: that there should be some sort of reintroduction, and what aspects of it are scientifically/biologically required for success. They are not a good sole party to address the economics, social/cultural/community issues, or a number of other aspects of programs like this.

Wolf reintroduction is major change with the potential for disproportionate impact on a small group of people (or at least there's a huge fear of it), and combined with a very real sense that some outside elite authority is just autocratically dictating without listening there is great potential for it to go sideways. (Keep in mind that centralized power structures dissipate with distance/isolation - witness rural sheriffs refusing to enforce specific laws in some states, etc.)

In general there should be a second angle: how to support the community, make the program successful, and have buy-in. This means maybe there should be some combination of communication, support, insurance, or grants to mitigate community concerns, and that it should be treated as an ongoing back-and-forth that tries to balance concerns for long term success, not as a dictate to people who are ignored.

FRBs are chirps. Something like a "signal". Much more signally than the hiss from stars and galaxies.
Still wrong.

The rules only matter with regard to who's allowed entry under what status. They're not subject to review after entering, except for expulsion.

I'm going to assume you're conflating the definitions of diplomat. The Vienna convention only sets a minimum standard. The things you're taking about might matter if it's the US and maybe Libya.

For friendly countries, there are agreements that extend the diplomatic privileges well beyond the core diplomatic party.

And once rules are agreed upon, they only apply to who is let into the country under what status. So entry can be denied, but once allowed in with a diplomatic or official passport, the host country can't change that status. All they can do is expel the person.

If the UK allowed entry under a diplomatic / official passport, that's all that matters.

Regardless, in a "possession is 9/10s if the law" sort of way, the only thing that matters in practice is if the visiting country waives immunity.

This seems like two examples of errors converting decimal fractions to percentages in hacker news in one day.

Very roughly it looks like they should have said 0.1 or 10%.

10% of combinded GDP is very much not an easy investment to make!
The good news is, there’s not that many of those. 112, 224, 336, 448, 550 (its a stretch), and you’re likely to start at the beginning, therefore getting it on the first try.

Actually, I’ve heard that on cell phones in EU, you can still dial 911, and it’ll connect. I have had occasions to call 112 before, but it’s always been in big enough emergencies that I didn’t have time to experiment. I’m eagerly awaiting the day when I come across an emergency that’s urgent enough to call 112, but not urgent enough that it can’t wait a little bit for me to try something. It’s a delicate balance
He’s not even saying he changed: he has never acknowledged his behaviour as wrong, nor apologised for his behaviour. He describes it as a “smear campaign”.

Not really -- on Linux, I can (and I do) disable the daemons. Moreover, most apps are sane, and work well without background daemons (KDE/Gnome being the exception, but they offer no unique functionality not available anywhere else)

This is not the case on Android. Looks like every app wants to run in the background and drain my battery. Even seemingly foreground-only things like maps apps install background services.

Ideally, I'd prefer to have an explicit list of apps which are allowed in background.. but missing that, I guess I will have to settle on automatic guarding.
Maybe I’m misremembering but isn’t torque usually expressed as a cross product of force and radius?

(Making pound-feet the pedantic but correct phrasing of the colloquial “foot-pounds”)

That way the torque vector points in the direction that a screw would move if you turned it in the direction it’s being forced.
Fix the Right Problems
Doubtless there are deep problems with "informed consent", but saying they "can't be informed" is nonsense. Is your plan to not bother to inform people because they "can't be informed", and decide what's best for them without their knowledge or consent?

> You have, at birth, around 3,500 auditory hair cells per ear (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_cell), so 7000 inputs to process for sound. Sure your brain does a lot with that information to project a 3D sound field from two ears, but that's the limit of the input.

> The adult human eye has around 70 million cones and 75-150 million rods (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina). There's a bit of crazy data compression that goes in to this, but the amount of information to process from the eyes is several orders of magnitude greater than from the years.

While you're technically correct, that's not the whole story.

There is a substantial amount of image processing that happens in the eye (I suppose it's possible that's true of the ear as well; we know much less about hearing than sight). I'm not familiar with all the research in the area, so I can't throw out numbers, but you can't just compare numbers of raw sensors meaningfully.
I wonder if there will be an impact on Google i/o and Apple’s WWDC. Especially when it comes to Asian visitors.
Yes it is. Spells "EEI". Cry for help or "expression of disapproval” in Chinese.
"If I have a good another wants then I may accept something I don't directly want as payment. Of goods I indirectly value, I should value more the goods that are most saleable as they provide the shortest path to goods I directly value. Throughout this my valuations are based on expectations of others' future valuations. We can think of the path from regular good to money like a feedback loop. It's the economic bubble that doesn't burst (except when it does and we all switch to silver or furs)."

OK, and here is the key thing, can you provide an example of a pre-money society doing this? Because as far as I am aware there are no examples from either History or Anthropology showing that this happens. Once again it doesn't matter how much sense this idea makes to us coming from a post-money society if it is not what actually happened.
This isn't ideal, because it forces each successive function that takes a Result type to add handling code in the case of an error.

fn(fn(fn()?)?)? is a bit gnarly but better than duplicate code like that, imo.
It doesn't make sense from a medical point of view.

China, and specifically Hubei Province and its capital Wuhan, suffer an epidemic that they are trying to control with titanic efforts. 99% of cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) infection, today more than 40,000 with a thousand deaths, have been registered in China. Of them, almost 70% in Hubei. Only 1% of cases have been registered outside China, in 24 countries (including Spain), with transmission chains (secondary cases from a first imported case) very short so far.

To put things in perspective, although perhaps inaccurate, the number of cases of COVID-19 infection in China is less than 3 cases / 100,000 inhabitants.

The flu, in Catalonia, this week has reached figures of 360 cases / 100,000 inhabitants: more than 120 times higher than the incidence of COVID-19 infection in China.[1]

Our Health Alerts and Emergencies system works, works as a team and the protocols established in the EU apply: detect the case, isolate it, treat it and follow all possible contacts. In this way, the transmission chain can likely be properly controlled.

There are many things we do not know for sure about this disease, but most cases (80%) are mild. Serious cases and mortality (2%) will be adjusted downwards safely in the coming weeks, as the detection of mild cases increases. There is WHO data that indicate that control measures are slowing the epidemic in Hubei and better controlling the situation in the rest of China.

"Third, there are often claims that wolves never attack humans ..."

I find this hard to believe - who would make such a claim ?

One would have to be almost entirely illiterate in both historical accounts of American settlement and rural accounts of frontier areas in Europe and middle-Asia and many, many well-respected fictional accounts of wolfpack/human interactions all over the world.

No, but I frequently see people implying that you can do your data science in Python and R as long as you can fit the data in RAM. As you mention, it's not RAM that's the limiting factor for larger data volumes, it's finding tools that exploit parallelism.
What about a secretary at the company? Is it fair if (s)he loses their job? But what is it about being highly skilled which makes it okay that they should have to uproot their lives? Just because I might not fall down does not imply that I would enjoy being kicked.

I just don't feel like you're being morally consistent here. Sure I get having empathy for the guys victim(s) (i have no idea what the details of the situation here are). But there's two sides to the coin that are worth considering.
Thank you!

Ooh! Right click / context menu. I gotta fix that. D'oh.

I think there are different schools of thought re: providing a playground. We certainly have done that before with smaller launches. Our experience (anecdotally, I haven't measured exactly) is that while "playground" type experiences can sometimes increase signup volume, they tend to result in lower engagement rates overall.

I believe the basic underlying hypothesis is that if you can solve a problem somebody is having and they know that, they don't care how it works: they'll sign up and figure it out. However, if you provide a playground, you artificially select for a much higher proportion of folks who enjoy the novelty of new technology / products and aren't necessarily likely to stick around.

Food for thought, anyway. Don't have raw numbers here.
"Shouldn't we be letting biologists and ecologists make this decision?"

> Just how often does one need to convert the Gnu Compiler Collection from Subversion to Git in under 9 hours?

For this particular repository, once the conversion is complete, it's complete. But there are plenty of other old projects out there with large repositories in old version control systems. Reposurgeon is a general tool.

Also, one repository conversion does not mean one run of reposurgeon and you're done. Reposurgeon is meant to be run multiple times since each run is likely to uncover issues that have to be addressed, and the way to address them is to do another run with updated parameters. Reposurgeon also has an interactive mode where you can explore a repository and test the results of various possible transformations.
I have done plenty of parallel work in python and R, so I'm still not sure what you mean.
"Can I afford to fit my data in RAM?" is a whole other site, I presume...
I never said we should pretend it's not happening. I'm saying that even bringing that up as a point of comparison with China is silly.
in 199x in Russia the B2B economy was working basically on barter. The accounting/business software support for 5-10 segment length chains of "mutual credit" ("vzaimozachet") involving multiple business partners between your product and finally money (or something almost as liquid as money) was a feat of business software engineering separating leaders from the chaff - while the world line of a given barter chain may have been crossing spacelike/timelike boundary several times it still had to look correctly in all accounting frames of reference :)

One of the things which emerged to be almost as good as money back then was "energy credits" with large power plants and networks serving as a kind of banks/clearing houses.
I too find a six-sentence long wikipedia article to be "hacker" "news".
the lack of explicitness about casting exact types (Integer, Rational) to inexact types (Int, Float) has led to many bugs and confusions for me

Matches my limited experience with Haskell. You get some bad bugs that you don't get in Python because all the stuff like len([1,2,3]) gives int (≡ Haskell's Integer), and 0.1 + 0.2 means the same thing every time. But I'm really interested in the opposite direction: bad bugs you get in Python but not in Haskell.
I would totally fund this on Kickstarter.
I think we'll get there. Part of the problem has been ensuring that the content keeps working. There has been so much educational content produced on Flash, Java Applets, and other platforms that currently have no support.

But the "modern web" (HTML5 and javascript) seem likely to last a long time and be supported on many, many platforms. So now we need better authoring tools, because as another comment suggests, not everyone is up for writing 4K lines of code.
All I read is: “blah blah blah, i think it’s obvious and intuitive so it must be the truth. Period!”

Essential has a good reputation IMO. If it was Theranos, Juicero, and WeWork, then I’d be concerned.
I do not hire anyone, but I can mention what is my opinions of it.

They shouldn't care "# of non-male identifying employees" and "# of non-white employees" (except perhaps acting in a movie, and maybe some other kind of jobs (but not computer programming), then it might matter if you are non-male or non-white or non-tall or whatever; which details is more important depend what your job is).

You should hire whoever is qualify for the job, whether they are male/female, white/black, etc. Have the equal opportunity; don't force the diversity. Anyways, just having many people (even if they are all white or none white) is still having diversity because you have many different people with different ideas/experiences; they even mentioned this on the CBC radio. (Diversity of ideas is more important, I think.) But you should not prevent having non-white and non-male and so on either; if they are good at the job then they should have this job, whether they are male or not.

In a construction work there might be more men than women because on average, men has more physical strength, but, nevertheless they should hire anyone who is capable and willing to do the job, regardless of man/woman. So, in the case of contsruction working it might be "naturally" biased, but, does not mean you should either enforce equality of men/women nor refuse to hire women.
