I would say that while the above numbers are certainly the current academic consensus, what also is part of the consensus is that this missing matter is interacting weakly and at very high energies. So for all intends and purposes it is mostly irrelevant baring some unforeseen breakthrough that lets us interact with it more strongly (for the same reason everything but the electric force is kind of irrelevant from an engineering perspective).
Nah man, they hired some designers to have an arts and crafts day cutting out shapes from paper and shining lights on it. It's all physically based on the real world and made by Smart People so therefore it's good.

OS is not a bottleneck. And to me, being able to run existing desktop software on the Phone when docked would be pretty much all that would be useful about this.

As a young adult, I almost drowned in a bathtub when taking magic mushrooms for the first time (a very small dosage of ~1/6th of a full dosage). I did put less water in the tub, but I still fell asleep, and when I woke up, the water line was a few mm from my nose openings. Do not use such drugs without a babysitter!
The main issue is that intelligence isn't well-defined. Laymen can't agree on a definition. Specialists from different fields (say, psychology, neuroscience, computer science, developmental biologists and animal behavioral biologists) can't agree either. More egregiously, specialists within a single field can't agree either. For all the 1994 manifestos people like to throw at people in internet arguments, it doesn't mean everyone in the field (which was mostly psychologists and little else) agreed with it and it doesn't mean the people who did sign it could pin down what they said onto a single definition that made sense from both a scientifical and general understanding.
I’ve used Mumble for podcast recording for years. Built in recording capability, dirt cheap server hosting if you need it, and yeah, rock solid.
Of course there's something worth reverse engineering, because in that case doing so would allow us to create consciousness as well as transfer and copy it. It would hold the key to at least a form of practical immortality.

If the brain is not just bioelectrical hardware, then we have the problem of whatever it might "interface with" can be influenced and copied, and we don't even know if there is anything to interface with and copy.

> You can simulate digestion with a turing machine all you want, but that simulation wont digest any food. Likewise you can simulate the neurons in a brain but that simulation can not be an instantiation of the concept of triangularity.

This is an utterly meaningless paragraph. If we build a robot we most certainly could build one that actually digests food. To my knowledge we can't yet do so without actually losing energy rather than gaining it, but that is an issue with the efficiency of the engineering, no fundamental blocker. If in software, it wouldn't digest any food, sure, but it also would have no need to, and that has no parallel to the second part of your paragraph.

The "concept of triangularity" can certainly be simulated in an abstract manner. It doesn't even take a complex system. AI doing symbolic manipulation of abstract concepts is one of the earliest things we tried. It's not the hard part. The hard part is actually reasoning about those concepts, inferring them, being able to act on them and talk about them. But that too is orthogonal to solving the issue of what consciousness actually is.

> I like C++ exceptions as a feature

In your opinion, what are situations/examples that justify the use of exceptions?

I haven't used a language with exceptions since 3 years (i.e: since I switched to Go), and I haven't yet faced a situation where I felt a need for them.

Also, I started to learn C++ as a hobby a few months ago, and I have to say that I still don't understand when I should use exceptions or not, things seem fine so far by just returning some error values.

I've been trading for years, would not keep a penny on that platform. They've effectively cut off all liquidity for their customers for at least 2 days during high market volatility. You are missing out on tax loss harvesting, buying dips etc.
The sound of the videos is awful and little use, but I would guess, in reality, hearing can help too. And humans are exceptionally able to focus their attention on a single sound source.

In general, I would assume, like with driving, the job of the lifguard is a bit automatic, where the mind on its own filters out the ones, which might need stronger attention.
> He could be more intelligent and productive than the poor family.

If I remember correctly, the ending scenes shows the son dreaming that he would study and work hard so he can finally afford the house and free his father. Do you think this is a realistic goal. How many years would it take him to buy such a mansion?
Nice design! Looks to be targeted at developers, but it could be good for product managers too. Some tile ideas; Issue counts, PR counts, vanity metrics... plenty of room for extension :)
"punitively taxed" is your words not mine. And yes a employee who reap benefits from taxes but acts in a way to evade taxes is acting in a morally bad way. However, an employee has very limited ways of evading taxes and pressuring countries to change their taxation system to fit his/her idea of what is "good" whereas people at the top of the pyramid are very "good" at doing this.
The point is that most people think that it is easy to spot drowning people.
Like Quora?

The 80/week people I have seen are "too busy" to stop and ask themselves if they are spending their time efficiently. They are focused on the short term tasks right in front of them. It is like someone saying they are too busy to get an oil change or new tires so they keep driving their car until they are stuck on the side of the road.
Yes.. I work on several projects that leverage SPARQL. The article is also remiss in not mentioning the work the W3C is doing along with Neo4J to do its own alignment (https://www.w3.org/Data/events/data-ws-2019/). Indeed, this article seems very self serving in its omissions. There is a follow up meeting planned soon for that too.

Also, much of the work in validation (SHACL, Shex) of graphs leverages SPARQL so it's not going anwhere soon. I would like to see it evolve to allow more vertex based searches without the need for extensions though.
They forgot to mention that Cypher is also supported by AgensGraph
Does the duration of their downtime suggest a “1/1000” unmonitored oversight? Or is it more like a threshold that was meet and probably could/should have been observed?

And FWIW, they have down time every day and weekend, at least in a virtual sense; the load does drop off in a very real sense too. You are spiritually correct, they should pull together and sort it out, and they owe nobody money here (don’t use a discount broker if you want some sort of guarantee about trades) but as a general rule you should ever feel too sorry for banker under just about any circumstances. The harshest lesson here, for everybody, was the only thing they would do for you was give you some commission free trades but that won’t work with this one, so a non-apology is what you get.

r/fire - financial independence, retire early.

r/fatfire - same thing as above but for people looking to

r/personalfinance & r/ukpersonalfinance - well rounded finance forum.

r/frugal - okayish for if you are in a really tough spot. If you are doing ok I generally don't recommend them because ultimately you are trading your time/health using most of the hacks from here.
That might depend on the region. Here (Leiden) it is not common for schools to offer swimming lessons. The vast vast majority (I have no numbers, but I would expect it to be close to 100%) of children do take swimming lessons from age 4. Most of them until they reach the third (C) exam, which tends to take about 1.5 years.
How would a more representative test end up? Are there better numbers available?

A simple deployment pipeline for small scale Docker applications
If you're new to Docker and don't know how to deploy a container, or want to automate the manual work involved, I wrote a guide on setting up a simple deployment pipeline: https://maximorlov.com/automate-your-docker-deployments/

Docker adds extra steps to your deployment process that makes it tedious if you have to manually deploy each time you make changes to your code. It's much nicer if you could push to master and automatically see your changes appear live.

This guide will take you, step-by-step, through the process of setting up a deployment pipeline that's simple and straightforward to learn.

You'll end up with a setup that doesn't require extra infrastructure or having to deal with an orchestrator. Therefore, it's great for hobby projects and small-scale applications.

I hope this helps some folks out there that are dealing with this right now. Share your progress!
Yeah, and it would be very easy to make a mechanical (or electrical) switch that detects whether the bowl is present and switches that stop the machine when it is tilted backwards. Not doing it is borderline negligence imho.
Secondary drowning, while not shown on-screen, is an important plot point of the series The Affair.

Spoiler alert: it doesn't exist
As others have mentioned, simmering acidic dishes in a cast iron or carbon steel pan will eat away the seasoning, leaving them very much non-nonstick.

I use enameled cast iron, carbon steel and stainless steel, each have their place. I've found a good carbon steel pan to be superior to cast iron for just about everything I cook.

> It's totally misleading of the article to suggest this phone is a success in any way.

It sounded to more like the Kickstarter succeeded, which usually means they just hit their goal. If you read the article, it doesn't claim anywhere that the phone itself is a success.

That said, I agree with pretty much everything else you said.
hopefully yes, I'm following the Records v2 issue on github :D
One time, using a fairly new pre-seasoned pan that I’d then further seasoned a couple times following all those directions you see online, to make a marinara-based dish was enough to turn my wife off cast iron forever. Tasted like blood, couldn’t taste a thing but that, it was so strong. She hates it now and won’t use it for anything.
> as a backup

It'd be a tool that can warn the lifeguards in the event that they didn't notice the drowning, not the only thing that monitors the pool.
"Money smooths things out, like an iron"
A lot of primary schools don't do swimming lessons anymore. Fortunately nearly all Dutch kids get swimming lessons at a pool, generally before they'd get them at school anyway. Though that can cause problems for the one immigrant kid that doesn't have a diploma. There have been at least two drownings during school swimming lessons in recent years.
The problem is that when you run a/b tests, the changed case is often worse. If the thing being tested is a website, that might not be so bad. If the thing being tested is your education, that might be horrible.
No - but Facebook is not politicians nor voters. It should be trivial to prove harm from a politicians policies. There should be direct and clear chains of causation and knowledge applying actual standards.

The reason you can't hold politicians accountable is because their whole aparatus of government is deathlty afraid of setting any precedent which might hold them personally accountable for direct misdeeds.

See the furious rationalizations known as Qualified Immunity and refusal to prosecute literal war criminals. See the furious reaction to whistleblowers above literal traitors who sell secrets to foreign governments. It is abundantly clear that they fear transparency and accountability above all else and replacing the clusterfuck with something not even worse is politically very difficult.

Blaming Facebook for "influence" is questionably third to fourth order as well, especially when far more direct culprits go unpunished without reason. It is classic cycle of abuse displacement of blame from a more responsible to a more accessible and vulnerable target.

Sure grandma may voted for a guy whose campaign platform was literally "Mein Campf" subsisted for the local language and country but maybe the uncomfortable truth is that she was always quietly a genocidal racist who felt that mass murder was preferrable to being on an equal footing to "lessers" but was fine before because they "knew their place". Utterly horrifying but easy to see why most would prefer to blame Facebook over their family members for being responsible for being horrible people.

It reeks of "follow the money" ambulance chasing of suing the laundromat for not having bulletproof windows instead of the gangbangers who hit the victims during a drive by shooting. Only in this case it is "follow the politicial power to try to dragoon it to something they think will be in their favor".
> You can simulate digestion with a turing machine all you want, but that simulation wont digest any food.

You could digest simulated food.

You could also build a machine stomach to digest real food.

If you found out you were a simulation you’d be looking pretty dumb right now
I think the more likely scenario is who wouldn't you sue?

Even the camera manufacturer wouldn't be immune from defending themselves.

No.
There are far better places, where sun shines more than once a month.
Your keratinocyte will thanks you.

Anyway I think you can buy a better house (less expensive on buying price, less expensive to heat/isolate/etc) in other countries.
I am impressed by these videos any time the pop up on hacker news. But one thing struck me: that they are using those large floatation rings. A lot of the incidents seem to be where a child looses contact to the ring and then cannot swim on itself.
I am wondering, why they are allowed at all. In my personal experience, I have rarely seen such rings in public pools and that basically means, you are not getting far into the deep part of the pool without some basic swimming skills. Most people/children wouldn't even try as they don't feel comfortable with deep water without an aid.
There is definitely a correlation between pain perception and buying behavior.

This has been documented in a study done by Carnegie Mellon: https://www.cmu.edu/homepage/practical/2007/winter/spending-... (spoiler alert: cash 'hurts more' to spend -- credit cards 'hurt much less')

I'm sure that there is a correlation between emotion and the ability to perceive / numb pain -- so there probably (at least) an indirect correlation between emotion and buying behavior.
I know people like wallboards and monitors but we found them anti-pattern. If you find yourself looking at a wallboard/dashboard, it should already be an automated alert.
The context at the time was that some authors were making the argument that seeing positive posts on FB increased negative affect.

This study, which was much larger, showed that this was not the case.
Any sources on this? I'm genuinely interested in how preferred flatness is somehow correlated with younger age. I know that children probably like to click on everything and explore how software works – heck, that's what I still do when I encounter new programs – but it's much easier if basic UI elements behave in expected ways.

I guess it's cognitively harder for the UX designer to create unusual workflows if the UI elements are saying "this is wrong" right in the face.
> That RobinHood is just a bunch of shitty engineers?

It is confirmed they are worse than virtually any reputable brokerage. It might not be their fault directly but its 2020, not 1998
One model not mentioned in the article either solely, or in addition to those pricing models, is the per-user based model as well. Working in a medium-sized organization, this adds a billing/contracting barrier to growing usage of a good service.

Example - you want to try out a service, you sign a contract that has some cost $X, up to 5 users. It goes well, you want to double usage of the feature, but you now need to pay $2*X + $Y in order to expand to 15 users, which really only encompasses a few choice teams.
You'd have to look into unrecoverable costs of owning a house (property taxes, maintenance costs, and cost of capital) vs unrecoverable costs or renting (rent). You should be able to make an intelligent decision based on this data.
Why are there so many people in the deep end of the pool who don't know how to swim properly? Looking at some of the videos, it seems like the majority can't do a breaststroke and drowns if they can't dog paddle to anything buoyant within a few seconds.
Interesting - that data does not quite match my experience; I was expecting a larger percentage to have B or C level diplomas. I wonder if that is due to region (more water and lakes on the west and north), (ethnic) background or something else.
I have mixed feelings about this. My feeling when faced with a paywall is to simply click "back" - if you don't want me to read your content, that's fine to me.
You don't expect to be reading a full-text (say) Harry Potter out of a HN link, and I'm good with that, and I paid for my own copy. But a page that looks like content and then won't show it is bait-and-switch, so no thanks.
Selecting the best BI tool - Data Analysis
I've been looking around for something to occupy my time when I retire and had been considering woodworking. Looking through YouTube for possible projects and tools I might need you can see this line of thinking has gone off the scale. Taken at face value it seems you need a workshop full of power tools and/or antique planes and chisels to make something as simple as a small box.
I suppose you sue the swimming pool for not taking proper measures. They can sue the device manufacturer, but this is not of your concern.

Is there a consensus pick for the best ARM system around $1,000? I'm not looking for my main workstation, just something usable for building and running ARM software, and maybe acting as a host for ARM containers. I've seen a few options:

Jetson AGX Xavier developer kit - 8 cores, 32 GB, for $700

HoneyComb LX2K mini-ITX motherboard - 16 cores, up to 64 GB, $750

96Boards Developerbox (Socionext) - 24 cores, 32+ GB, $1,200

I'd like a little more than the 4 cores and 4 GB you can get with a Jetson Nano or Raspberry Pi 4.
No they don't. The stack overflow survey shows that the highest number of developers use Windows at 47.5% followed by Mac at 26.8% and Linux at 25.6%

I have a similar item in my backlog, a drone mounted salt gun to terminate slugs in the garden. Engaging them in first person or just sitting back and let the skynet do its thing.

If you are trying to keep the line of sight, never ever use a smartphone. Based from my own experience, it can easily completely distract you for 10-20 seconds or longer. Especially if you think you are "just" doing a quick thing. Then there is a notification dragging you off or something else.

I find them great as a first look when there is a problem because you can often pinpoint the problem just by looking at the board.
It's not just whether you use it, it's also what features you value. I gave this advice to some friends taking up skiing - it turned out the most valuable feature of a skiing jacket for me was a large number of pockets (so I didn't have to take a bag). I would never have known that if I hadn't first had a cheap jacket for a couple of seasons.

I really don't understand the appeal of dutch ovens for most home cooks. How is it better than a cheap roasting pan?

I understand that you can bury a dutch oven in a pile of coals, but I figure hardly nobody is doing that.
Happened with me once and my kid was 8 or 9 already. 10 seconds not looking and he was already drowning on the deep part of the pool (where he was told not to go).

Surely this should be renamed blacks can't swim...
Those are toys that are fun to play with for people who can swim fine. The problem is when non-swimmers use them as boats. They are not safety devices.

Without the rings non-swimmers couldn't get into trouble but swimmers have less fun. You could also pave over the pool with concrete and remove the hazard entirely - no fun for swimmers but all risks of drowning removed.
It probably is. There's bound to be some law that says you can't simply simulate a system with a strictly smaller system.
