I was the other way I wanted to know how it all worked in great detail.

Like magnets and EMF the forces is explained by showing lines of force but what are they? From what I understand the force is energy due to the exchange of virtual photons between the magnetic poles.

I've also read that EMF is also due to relativistic effects. Moving and stationary charges differ in quantity due to contraction of the moving charges. Like charges repel so the difference creates a force.

Take all that with a huge grain of salt.
Kinda. The manufacturing process will always produce defects in these chips. A run can produce 100 chips (let's say)- 10 of those are perfect. 100% functional, and are sold as the highest quality chip. the next 20 are 99.99% functional. These are binned into their respective segments based on how well they test. These are sold as lower end parts. Maybe a core doesn't work or it can't clock as high.

Maybe the other 70 have some major issue with the special components, so they are only 99% functional and therefor can't be used in the high end segment, but can be used in the consumer chips.

Not every chip is perfect, which is why there exists different product classes. For some chips, an i5 is just an i7 that didn't fully pass validation.
You're not wrong, but it seems to me you could say that of 99.9% of private collecting.

Unless the collection becomes so extensive you and it gain international renown, demand for collectables is all driven by arbitrary, subjective human passion.

A 401k is a pension isn't it? Just a defined-contribution pension instead of a defined-benefit pension.

IMO humans keep developing ornate epistemologies that have nothing to do with utilitarian needs of the public, and keep ramming them down the masses throats.

An open literal trade network of materials is one thing.

Deference to the godheadeds romantic notions that a minority rule of that trade network is proper order is nonsense. It’s WWE as a political platform.

Yet at scale we keep deferring to the romantic until the utilitarian aspect is kept from the growing masses, we refuse to accept the literal growing population, so a new romance comes along to expand access to utilitarian life and then it’s gamed over a generation until... well you get the point.

Chimp tribes have been observed killing their alphas. Utilitarian life became more normalized for the tribe at large.

Humans might consider figuratively doing the same. Emotionally disempowering such nonsense. It does nothing to limit our capacity for great ideas. Einstein was not an Alexander the Great literally.

We need to be modeling neurons, which is exactly what rule of law/religion/monarch does so let’s not get all “oh that’s scary mind control”, we’ve long accepted it’s required without having the science to see how literal that truth is, to disempower unaccountable empire building.

Personal property is one thing. Unaccountable manipulation of social agency at scale is inequality, and despite many of us here making bank in tech, the daily cadence should be in our control as individuals. And it’s pretty clear to me the messaging has effectively made it so it’s not.

Talking heads on MSNBC going on about socialist death squads, keeping the ship on course. Then Fox News of course. Don’t look behind the curtain! I saw this in the 80s/90s too. Who is all in office still?

What a shock the narrative isn’t feeling much different 30 years later.
Naming a variable solely after its type is never particularly useful. A name like `currentChar` would probably enhance readability. Of course if your code is just 2 lines long, `c` works just fine (that's not usually the case though).

You should probably abstract away some of that logic though (and `string` isn't a great variable name either):

The EU revoking financial "equivalence" for non-financial reasons is a very well known phenomenon that was extensively discussed in and around the referendum time. They did it to Switzerland so there's been more since. For instance:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jun/25/london-city...

“If tomorrow Britain is not part of the single market, the City cannot keep this European passport,” Villeroy, who is also governor of the French central bank, told France Inter radio.

Note: no mention here of divergence, merely leaving the single market is enough to be immediately banned. There was lots like that at the time, although it's getting harder to find pre-referendum pages via search engines now.

I work for a finance company that's moved its legal entity to Amsterdam

Nobody ever cared about legal entities. But note you've done that in anticipation of the UK being banned from European markets, despite having no specific announced plans to change financial law in ways that would justify such a ban.
How to set up user authentication using React, Redux, and Redux Saga
I used to work with HathiTrust and attended a few workshops; my experience was that the notion of a "data capsule" that ensures "non-consumptive use" is quite onerous, in practice, and that getting that access can acquire prior approval and supervision of research activities:

https://wiki.htrc.illinois.edu/display/COM/HTRC+Data+Capsule...

I think it's actually a clever technical solution to a hideous legal problem, and it makes a lot of research possible that would be totally illegal otherwise, but it 100% gets in the way of totally legitimate research as well.
Thank you - appreciated =)
It definitely uses the issue template nowadays, if there is one. If there isn't, and the PR is one commit, it will reuse the commit message. If it's multiple commits, it'll give you a commented out list of every commit message, which I generally then give a title to and munge down into a description.
I used to use this exact problem years ago when interviewing candidates at Google. At that time I thought it was a great question, but now I'm not that sure anymore if this approach to interviewing is the best way to assess candidates.
I upvoted you, but your comment is a bit misguided re: Android, especially for HN:

- if an app has access to your photos and you didn't approve so, it's a bug. Even worse, it's a security issue and you could probably collect a nice $10k to $30k bounty.

- apps that are just web pages are bad, yes but not for the reasons you underlined.

- anything that breaks the sandbox is a security issue. Nowadays it's pretty rare, too.

- if an app asks for access to your files and can't work without it, it's a badly designed app and you'd be right to complain. IMHO this is an issue that should be addressed at two levels: 1/ the OS should be able to generate fake data to let old apps work. 2/ any newly released app that tries to work around this should be banned from stores.

Actually according to Wikipedia:

> ... the first known published use of the term in English [is] from 1940

That published use is as follows [1]:

> Pee-gee-enn. It's an acronym [Ger. Akronym], that's what it is. That's what they call words made up of initials.

In other words, the very first recorded use we have of the word "acronym" is actually what some people insist on calling an initialism. I don't know who, afterwards, decided that "acronym" had to mean that it had to be pronouncable, or why, but I didn't vote for them.

After that comment - you very well may be my spirit animal.
I'm trying to grow while doing a lot of cardio which takes a quite different eating approach. If I want the benefits of autophagy I would do a few days of keto followed by a few days of fasting. During the fast I would eat small amounts of carbs, near zero protein and small amounts of fat. After that I would eat properly for a few days, say a week and repeat the cycle. The duration of the keto would be something like 4-6 days but if I get bored with it I would cut it down to minimum 2. The fast too should last until I no longer feel like it.

> Why wasn't I required to return this box for reuse?

Because I wouldn't order anything from a service that required me to return the box. Going to a postal office is highly inconvenient for someone working full time. Of course, I could be convinced to just drop off the box at some kind of drop off/pick up station (provided it was not too far out of my normal commute), but that would require a whole new layer of infrastructure.

It’s no secret that there are groups that follow any given religion that have committed violence against the LGBTQ community. That does not in any way imply that Christians are being targeted. The former is a known and widely accepted fact. The latter is a fiction perpetuated by Fox News to get uneducated conservative voters to fear the Democratic party. The problem with your argument is also that saying “Muslims are killing gays” is not correct, same as saying “white people are committing mass shootings”. Specific sub-sections of those groups are and you can name them specifically. But the idea that all Muslims or all Christian are ready to kill at a moment’s notice is absurd and you know it.

Personally I believe Christianity is an oppressive religion that needs to go away. It does more evil than good in the world, especially in the US and Easter Europe. That does not preclude me from condemning groups like ISIS or Saudi Arabia’s government for their actions.

Changed my downvote to an upvote.
Great book, but IMO too advanced for a beginner. The risk of being discouraged by the level of its topics is high. I would rather suggest to a complete newbie to start experimenting with analog electronics by following well known old magazines, soldering kits, then attempt to modifying them, destroy components by applying the wrong voltage/current/polarity (or sometimes just by touching them with ungrounded hands) and learn why and how to avoid in the future; in other words learn by failure and success. I would also initially stay away from Arduinos, Raspberries etc. They're great but they also hide the inner workings of a circuit behind the code (and often also the code behind a linkable library). Building a single transistor wah guitar pedal for example will teach a lot more about electronics (and some mechanics too) than any small computer module out there: they will be wonderful addition to make great things with the knowledge gained through simpler projects.
It does wonders for those stuck with AMD cards on their laptops not supported by the open sourced driver.
" You need to find the evidence that it is ok not that it is not ok."

One of the leading causes of deaths of healthy people in every nation is cars!

Do you think we should put the CEO of Volvo in jail for mass murder?

Why are you not trying to get GM and Ford shut down immediately for all of the death they care to enable?

And consider the vast environmental impact!

This notion of 'proving something causes no harm' before using it is unecessary for anything other than literally dangerous products. So foods, chemicals, things that involve electricity, there's very good regulations for those things.

But are we going to ban 'Spotify' until you can figure out the long-term effects of that economic model and how it might affect the music industry artists?

No. Social Media is a new form of human interaction that has come about for a variety of reasons, and we're going to have to figure it out. People are not dying in the streets, more importantly, those who have challenges with it simply don't have to use it. In between those grey areas, we have to work things out - but this is not specifically a Facebook problem.

There are a number of thoughtful regulations that the US or EU could implement, but almost none of them are being suggested, and the example provided in this article proves this to some degree. Ireland is not protecting anyone or accomplishing anything at all with this specific regulatory apparatus.

I was also tracking this graph and had built my own projection based on it.

After a day or so of thinking about it and seeing my projection match what was being reported, I concluded China chose this function because it shows a concern but does not cause great alarm. A predictable upward linear growth. Unsettling, but not terrifying.

I had considered how to get actual accurate death data, and figured it was impossible. However, there was some new, somewhat reporting from cremation facilities in Wuhan that, if true, paint a very dire picture.

I doubt this is about markets now, this is as it has always been, about "stability." The emergence of a true threat to stability that can not be controlled by the worlds most successful authoritarian state is so unexpected that I suspect the Xi and the politburo have been caught completely off guard and unable to change strategies to contain the threat.

If they had been truthful about the deaths from the beginning, demonstrations might have occurred that would have made things worse for everyone.

I think that we are going to see continued sharp rises in reports of deaths now that WHO officials are on-site and it becomes more difficult to hide the scale of what is most likely a global catastrophe.

A version of what you suggest has been the law since ERISA was passed in 1974.

The problem is what to do if investment performance doesn’t meet expectations, lifespan increases, or future assumed yield decreases. Generally companies had to pay enough to be back to even within seven years. Newspapers sought the right to have thirty years to fully fund. McClatchy was larger than Congress was comfortable with and found itself unable to pay the required fraction of the difference between the NPV and finding amount. Hence, it declared bankruptcy.
Underrated comment. I have nothing against bootstrapping but a business that you can’t easily sell or get away from, where you have no leverage on or ability to fully delegate is closer to being a job than it is a business.

Of course these are "ok", but it's not because there's "80 lines of narrative". Sometimes there's only one or two. Sometimes there's none.

What makes this "ok" is that it's clear that the author intends you to read all of it. Code. Literature. Everything.

I don't know why, but for some reason, a lot of people think it's okay to "scan" or "skim" code. To just not read it. They wouldn't think of doing this to a good novel, but they'll do this to code.

Literate programs trick you into reading a novel with bits of code in-between, such that you can digest the code and non-code parts at the same time really aiming to cement both your (the reader's) understanding, as well as the author (the programmer's) understanding†.

But listen, we can choose to actually read code too. It's hard. Much harder than just "scanning" it, but we can do it. And with some care and taste, that code can actually be as good as "80 lines of narrative".

[†]: Mathematics has been doing this for years because it's often really hard to understand complex things from the notation alone, especially when you have to invent a new notation just to discuss this new thing you're thinking about!
Amazon pretty much sets the standard for this. They're the biggest ecommerce home delivery company, and yet have absolutely nothing in the way of reducing waste, and give the customer no option or control to do so. The _only_ thing they do is allow you to group deliveries (in case you want everything at once) which has the side-effect of reducing carbon emissions by the delivery van.

And don't even get me started about Prime.

Chrome inspector shows the contrast as 5.07 which seems to pass the recommended AA 4.5 threshold.

I think you're mistaking "educated" for "similar". The community don't necessarily have to be educated, but it helps a lot if they're broadly similar in some way. Same background, same age, same goal, same education, same interests, something.

No, a 401k is not a pension. A pension guarantees a certain amount at specified dates while a 401k is a way of purchasing securities for you to manage your own retirement and is subject to the returns of your investment choices. In other words, a pension is a guarantee of future income in which the pension offerer is on the hook to ensure they have the funds to deliver the pension while the 401k pushes all that responsibility on to you.

My wording is probably off on some of that so an article like this one is probably helpful to flesh out the details:

I'm not clear that this is actually a Net Neutrality issue rather than a routing issue. Perhaps there is a way to solve this with DNS, routing connections to a different place.
