> Do US kids in science class use the metric system?

In general, yes. Though like everything else in the US education system, it’s really up to the local school boards. When I went through a couple of decades ago, we did almost everything in SI units with the occasional oddball problem in traditional units to make sure we knew how to do the conversions.
I am willing to chalk this up to an honest mistake considering "encryption" as being compression, although that's not the accepted use of the term. This appears to be their explanation. I hope their marketing team fixes this now that it's been pointed out to them though.
GP has a point though – why doesn't the same logic apply? If I am an employer, I know your pay grade. Therefore, I know how tax cuts affect you. So if there is a cut in tax rates, why not just deduct the equivalent value you would've kept as extra due to the cut from your paycheck?

If rentals are being priced purely based on "what can renters afford", then your problem is with the housing market itself, not with UBI or anything else. Obviously UBI won't ameliorate a situation where housing is priced like that – in that case you would also need to ensure there is a larger supply of housing to make the market actually competitive, but it isn't a problem with UBI, it's a problem with housing.
Sounds like a hypothesis that affords to be tested.

Right - and that's fine. But the article didn't state he was sick. In fact, only a spokesperson for Amazon said he was to self-isolate after coming into close contact with an associate - which is a very convenient accusation (if it was in fact not true) to keep someone from coming in to organise a walk out, and then getting to fire them under the pretext of risk management.

AFAIK (from the rumour mill and not from any kind of reliable source) the `git branch` command was only added as a cargocult from all the SVN users flocking to git and asking "So how do I branch?!". Previous to this, everything was tags and checkouts.

Most of the comments are about the startup RAM use and distributable size, which is a criticism shared with Electron. The demo app is not attempting to address these particular weaknesses.

The point of the article is there are some applications where processing speed is important where Clojure's and JVMs concurrency and long running and large dataset performance is very important. And the ecosystem appears to be ready to make it possible to create apps where these strengths vis-a-vis Electron are combined with the other strengths of Clojure compared to low level languages (expressive syntax, interactive development).

It would be nice to have country-dependent pricing, relative to their poverty index or some other quantifier. That way everyone could afford to pay for the service and would "feel" the price in a same way.

I am aware of expenses that are the same for maintainers, no matter where their clients come from. But wouldn't it be nice?

In our company we are going to experiment with such pricing to give everyone equal chance to use our software. Some countries are going to have it for free.
So, my country which feels big to me couldn't do it.
This reinforces my belief that there are way too many of our species on this planet. Given that 2.1 or so is the replacement rate, a "hard" limit of two child per woman would be decent compromise as this would equate to somewhere around 1.7 taking into account women who don't want to /can't have children. In one generation, if there were no unintended consequences this would drop the population by 15%.

Sometime in the 2100s it would be half what it is today and my country could easily fit everyone!

"People would wear N95s when working with a shit-ton of visible particulates, but otherwise are constantly leaving their lungs unprotected."

Correct. And I say that as both a solderer and woodworker! In fact, woodworking often scares me more than soldering (as with wood there are more variables involved). Some particulates from wood are down outright dangerous—in fact, many different types of woods can either cause cancer or serious lung irritation. The reasons are that (a) the wood itself can have microscopic hook-like structures that embed themselves into one's lungs and they're sufficiently resilient not to be dissolved by body enzymes etc. before they do damage, and (b) some woods contain toxic chemicals, terpenes etc. which plants usually manufacture to deter or destroy pests.

Terpenes are a large class of organic chemicals with a wide range of properties, some are relatively innocuous to humans and others can be harmful, in fact, some terpenes are considered a cancer risk. The flux rosin used in solder consists mostly of terpenes, so if you're one of those who worries about using Pb/Sn solder then you've more than just the lead to worry about. There's an image of natural resins here on this Wiki terpene page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terpene

Here's a few references about wood and wood dust toxicity: The Wood Database:
https://www.wood-database.com/wood-articles/wood-allergies-a... and
Wood Dust Exposure and Lung Cancer Risk: https://www.verywellhealth.com/wood-dust-and-lung-cancer-who.... There are many others.

To protect yourself always use an N95 (aka P2) mask when sanding, sawing or doing fine routing—any work that produces fine wood dust/particulates. What about aerosol terpenes produced in the cuttings you ask? I'd suggest that if you are wearing a mask then the volatiles that actually get through the mask will unlikely cause you any problems (the practical consensus is that it's the fine particulates that lodge in your lungs that actually cause most of the danger). Of course, the same goes for cement dust, other powdered minerals including even talc and of course asbestos.

Over the years, I've done a great deal of soldering and it's mainly been with Pb/Sn solder. Normally, for casual work 60/40 or eutectic are my choice as lead-free requires more care/setup and closer temperature tolerances, and there is a higher risk of damaging components with excessive heat. For PWA [circuit boards] production runs etc. it's a no-brainer, you should always use lead-free solders. These days it's dead easy to use lead-free on PWA production runs as the processes can now be held to such close tolerances.

When soldering, braising or welding always remember to apply the cleanliness is next to godliness rule. Always use masks, keep the area well ventilated, and always wash your hands especially so after handling Pb (lead) and finally vacuum up all the metal dust and other crap with a vacuum cleaner that has a HEP filter.
Apple and terrible interface design: backup hell
Actually, I do have a pretty good answer to this.

Every business has about 100 questions where if you know the answer to those questions, you are quite likely to be successful. The hard part is knowing which questions need to be asked of each business.

To be clear: my co-founders and I were all seasoned, multi-startup people. We had extremely high-calibre investors with finely tuned bullshit meters. In the end, our own pitching skill undid us because I think less-convincing founders would have undergone 25% more scrutiny and that would have required us to demonstrate that we had signed LOIs from 3-5 real customers before starting.

There was a subconscious misdirection around the fact that we didn't actually have anyone beating down our door. We let the excitement for "data", our personalities and our track records carry the moment.

Of course founders have to drink their own Kool-Aid to some extent or they won't make it. But there's real power and value in the customer development mindset. People want this? Prove it.

I don't see why any electric vehicle can't be part of the sustainable urban transportation future.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Would it be better if we built cities around public transport? Generally yes. Does that mean there isn't a place for electric aircraft, electric cars, and smaller personal electric vehicles (bicycles, scooters, segways, hoverboards, skateboards)? Nope. I don't think anyone in this thread thinks that all of our future transportation needs will be satisfied by flight.

And given our current state of global pandemic, I think we can probably agree that even without the pros of other forms of transport, public transit has its own unique downsides.
I‘m neither author nor publisher. And, yes, I think that argument is essentially correct. People on the internet like to get hung up on the differences (zero marginal costs etc) but that doesn’t really matter for the core of the argument: if piracy becomes widespread, writing will no longer be a viable vocation, and new books being published will drop dramatically.

For music, people loved to insist musicians should just get by with live shows. Nothing similar exists for authors, so I’m waiting to see if there’s some other cop-out people come up with.

There is an easy solution to this problem. All libraries that are closed world wide report which books they have available at the moment to the Internet archive who then lends it out digitally. Then every lend is backed by a physical copy.

I bet the usual suspects would still complain. It is very hard to feel for publishers if one looks at all the shenanigans they do around eBook lending. Libraries tend to pay significantly more than other bulk buyers for the same books and there is a limited number of "lends" on the books for example.

I am not sure I understand the suggestion that preemptive scheduling is important with the explosion of CPU core count.
You may need preemptive scheduling even on a single core if your application expects some fairness of scheduling guarantees. Am I missing something?

We can do preemptive scheduling of user-level threads by registering a timer interrupt with the OS and preempting the currently running user-level thread in favor of another one. This is up to the individual libraries to implement. These issues are discussed in [1] Sec 4.3.
We all know naming things is hard, but "dolt" -- as in "idiot" or "imbecile" -- is a head-scratcher.

Trump vs. Maduro: What Does Crypto Have to Do with It?
> It seems a bit too similar to the idea that "most people simply cannot read".

Most people can read in that they can translate text into sounds. However most people cannot read if require that they can accurately comprehend what the text says, just look at the results of reading comprehension tests, a majority scores horribly on them.

> Why is coding different?

You can get by just fine in life without accurately understanding text, but you can't get by just fine as a programmer without accurately understanding what code does.
Datomic also has change history, and you can query against a specific point in time afaik.
I expect it to be a little better trade-off given the following points:

1. JS is kept for what it's meant to be and do; nothing more.

2. A WebKit webview is probably lighter than Chromium + NodeJS.

3. The whole thing should be managed to be linked as a shared library, avoiding many pitfalls of Electron's applications (by means of a semantic-versioned library).

4. The whole solution is really language-agnostic, despite my efforts with Go.

>The programming community is extremely polarized about the existence or not of such a beast: who says there is no such a thing as the 10x programmer, who says it actually does not just exist, but there are even 100x programmers if you know where to look for.

I think it depends on your definition. If you compare with the average programmer in your company then you can easily be a 10x if you're working in a big company where the average abilities are low. But it becomes very hard in a smaller company where most of your colleagues are competent.

If you define it relative to a more global average I think it's too difficult to know what an "average" programmer even is.

Now if in that big company you have to work only on small parts of the whole it often becomes harder to be fast again, since your colleagues might be writing APIs with a lot of hidden complexity.

If however your task is more isolated it becomes easier to do good design.
Ok, maybe it's time to slow down and consider if this is going in a good direction, before just building whatever it is that can be built?
If piracy could be limited to cases where people would not have bought the work in question, that would be ideal. You’d get fanatical support from creators who, after all, do enjoy people reading their work.

But that’s just not realistic, is it? There are schemes that approximate this, using price discrimination. Libraries are among them, allowing people to read works for free or nearly free by investing the time and/or inconvenience. The staggered release of expensive hard-bound and cheaper paperback editions serve the same purpose.

The idea is good, the product may be good too (can't find any whitepapers or something about underlying technology). But some of their marketing is suspiciously unprofessional. Like "Better Database Backups". In DB world, you can't call a "backup" anything that can't restore all of your DB files bit-for-bit, anything non-deterministic. You can call it "dump", "export" or whatever, but not backup.

Having a home library has many more functions than just storing books you've once read. It's a signaling device; it's a way to show your character:; it's a way to have a possibility to share materials with others; it's a way to show your children your values; it's a reminder of things you've learned; it's soothing for many to have books around; they can be a useful reference or inspiration; ...

Books are not just a throwaway product like a daily newspaper - they have many roles to play.

I am moving away from kindle for exactly these reasons above; I'm sad I don't have these benefits with the many books I read digitally.

That's two posts you've made now saying that people accusing things of being conspiracy theories or presenting conspiracy theories are themselves in fact conspiracy theories to confuse people from learning the truth. Ok. Let me guess, I'm also part of the conspiracy?

9/11 wasn't an inside job. Comet Ping Pong isn't associated with pedophilia. The guaranteed dozens of other conspiracy theories you believe (Sandy Hook, Clinton body count, FEMA death camps, probably climate change denial) are also untrue. There's a reason why belief in one conspiracy theory almost always leads to belief in most or all of them, and why others don't want to try to debate with people such as yourself.
