It's just that economics is an odd mix of philosophy and math.
On my more cranky days I call it astrology for people who know calculus.

To be fair, most skinned Android variants are really horrible. My whole immediate family uses Android phones, but half the time I just don't know how to quickly tell them where an option is because I've used CyanogenMod/LineageOS on all my phones, and they're using Samsung's take on Android, which is shockingly different. Worse yet, they often are on much older Android versions than me which results in even more differences. Settings categories having different names is the biggest problem. At least on some newer Android versions there's a search in the settings so you don't have to guess where stuff is as much.
There seems to be a huge assumption that when a species is exposed to higher than usual temperatures they'll be a collapse of said species. Certainly this holds true for some species, but all species?

I'm a little skeptical. Basically the paper says that large groups of species will encounter higher temperatures than they have before (1850-2005, going by mean annual temperature, and higher defined by 5 years all above the previous high mean). And because of that, they'll be a huge ecological disaster.

I get the temperature part. That makes intuitive sense (the whole planet is getting hotter, duh), and doesn't seem like anything new.

What does seem new is the seemingly (I'm up for explanations about why they make sense) arbitrary threshold they use.

Is this a good paper, or just an appeal to fear? (That's a real question, but to me at first glance, it seems like an appeal to fear).
The issue's not setTimeout. Even with requestAnimationFrame, you'd combine it with setTimeout to control framerate and cpu usage.

The issue is the css properties manipulated, as commented by another person.

To be fair I haven't tried too many high end wireless earbuds, but switching between the noise cancellation and transparent mode on the AirPods pro was my first "wow" moment using a piece of technology in a long time.
Thanks for the reply! I've poked around on Facebook and Nextdoor; I'm considering emailing work to see who'd be into it as well. Good point about the ~danger of randoms~.
I did my PhD in the French Riviera. Some people were maxing out the extensions on their funding not because they couldn't defend on schedule, but they simply enjoyed their current work. But that might speak more to the misery of postdoc, than to the joy of PhD?

I remember doctoral studies very fondly. But finished on time and moved to the industry, because once you graduate, the academic job market is outright depressing.

My comment was specifically in regards to extortion, and you'd need the court of public opinion on your side to do it anyways. The US government still does use eminent domain to do stuff people don't want - see recent examples involving the Keystone XL pipeline and the border fence where everyone from native american tribesfolk to ranchers have had their property seized by the government against their wishes.
My previous phone, a Sony Z5 Compact, was sadly one of the worse phone experiences I ever had, software wise. I used it for 4 years and in the end it was sooo slow that was unbearable (maybe the internal storage degraded?). Battery life was great thou, 2 whole days when I bought it and in the end it was about 30 hours but after 4 years it was better then newer, just unpacked phones.
Opendoor was trying to play real estate market maker. This is easy money during an expansionary upswing, and a dangerous game to be in near the end of the credit cycle (a phrase used elsewhere in the capital markets you might apply here: "Picking up nickels in front of a steamroller"); you could suddenly be holding an enormous amount of assets on your books you can't afford the carrying costs for and have to unload them at fire sale prices.

There are some business models that are attractive when capital is cheap, but not so great when the tide goes out and you suddenly have to be a real business, because capital is no longer freely available. I would propose that this is different than the discretionary businesses you describe, that are sustainable outside of extraordinary economic circumstances.
Whatever you say about him, he sees it as part of his personal branding. And he loves putting his name everywhere he can ( especially if it can be associated with something perceived as a positive ).

No doubt it's some of each. Difficult to imagine anyone having a strong opinion on some random drug if he wasn't involved, though.
>just like with an IPv4 they allocate you a fixed /32

Many (most?) ISPs that give you unique IPv4 addresses also use dynamic pools. Just reconnect your router and blend into the pool. Or, if you're behind NAT, you're already indistinguishable from others.
Seriously, who do we hit first, and how?

How about big pharma and exclusively using water-boarding so nobody gets killed? Is that too far? What is too far? What is an is not acceptable in terms of punishment for extreme destruction of the earth and general oppression/enslavement of humanity?

Absolutely, especially if it required others to move meetings around to accommodate. We've spoken to a few EAs at big tech companies that spend 3+ hours on some days doing just this and they were incredibly excited to try out the product
Code is the only thing in this world that is instantly replicable billions of times into the hands of close to every human being alive.

I doubt anything at all comes close in leverage. Maybe having mountains of money or being POTUS.
Correct, but I don't know a single doctor in the US who actually paid it upfront instead of taking out all those loans and then easily paying them back with their newfound doctor salary later.
I see it as a good reason for why France needs to be broken up.

EDIT: Those who're getting upset at it, think why or how is this any different than what OP wrote. If you want to create a liberal democracy with prosperous free markets then you create a set of deterministic rules and let people act under it. IF you don't like an outcome, don't apply hacks to it like break up a big company because you're upset at it, but change the basic rules (if you need to, which I think is a terrible idea in this situation).

Amazon didn't do anything wrong other than played by the rules. If you don't like the outcome, don't try to apply hacks.
What are you asking for? Do you mean that if you return a small struct from a function, the fields are placed in registers instead of memory, if they can fit? This is up to the ABI, not the standard, to define, and some ABIs already do that.
Okay but there are actually good reasons to test hydroxychloroquine, as it is effective against viruses with relevant similarities to Covid-19. The same is not true for chocolate milk.

To address the elephant in the room: yes, Trump did come out in favor of hydroxychloroquine, but his opinion on medical issues is literally meaningless noise in both the informational and auditory senses of the phrase. We certainly shouldn't be pursuing hydroxychloroquine because Trump said to, but there are other good reasons to at least investigate it.
"there's an increasing suspicion that countries still using the BCG vaccine for tuberculosis might be seeing [1]way lower infection rates"

Obvious to me, perhaps dumb, question - if countries that were slower to change vaccination regimes have some advantage, then wouldn't we see older people in the countries that did change also at an advantage? Yet all reporting seems to be that older people are harder hit.
If anyone pays a million less in taxes then someone gave them a million dollars back. so yes, you are giving them something.

So when I pay 35% tax and keep 65% of what remains, did the gov't give me that 65%?

NextDNS works great for me,
I use it as a second layer to ublock origin and it still catches things.

Only downside I have is when something does break, and it happens occasionally, I have to whitelist the domain on their dashboard.
You can only whitelist the domain for all requests, which is not what I would like. Would prefer to whitelist it on a specific page and for a temporary time.

Otherwise when something break I have to go to their dashboard, whitelist the domain, use the website and then go back and blacklist it again.

Would be nice if they had a browser extension that can do that in the browser without having to go to their dashboard
I've worked at those kinds of organizations, read the documents, put in the work, and got promoted...by switching companies :).

In my experience, the companies that do have those documents (and not all do) don't actually really use them or make much reference to them in 1-on-1's or reviews. That's because management's perspective is that they are interested in how well you are doing at the job they hired you for, not how you are doing in the job you want.

In the few cases where I've seen people promoted within a company (which pales in comparison to how often people get promoted by switching companies) It was always because management felt that there was a new role that needed filling. Certainly some of the time those people earned those promotions (though not all the time) but the actual driving factor here was (perceived) business need.
Presumably this is useful if you can place files into (or modify a file at) the location for a particular regexp.

> It does seem weird that instead of continuing to serve this market, Apple assumes everyone wants their same large form factor and it's only a matter of price.

The problem there is that they can't get the smaller form factor, +nice specs, at that low price but at a higher price it would probably not sell as good because the SE line always had that air of "more affordable iPhone" to it.

That why this new SE is exactly iPhone 8 dimensions, to a point where Apple even confirmed that iPhone 8 cases will be compatible with the new SE.

So it stands to reason that they retooled a lot of their 4.7-inch production to make this "SE" as affordable as it is.

Trying to put all of that into a 4-inch screen form factor like the original SE, would require sourcing completely different parts, require much more retooling of already existing manufacturing processes, for many parts, there'd be zero overlaps with their other products.

So while people like me prioritize the 4-inch screen smaller form-factor, Apple chose to embrace the SE as a "budget iPhone" brand that makes all the other "budget" competition look like really outdated and lame ducks.

Which is most certainly a bigger market than people prioritizing size of the device over anything else.

Ask HN: How to paste slowly (like key typing)
I want to record a screen cast of code and make it look like I am typing it but my typing is full of mistakes so I want to pre-type it then paste it but make it look like it is me typing it as I record it.

Does anyone know of an app for this? I want to paste into pycharm on a mac.

Thanks for any tips!
My perfect Apple ecosystem would be a standalone watch that makes phone calls, initiate text messages, and can pair to my car via CarPlay. Basically do all the things that my phone does right now w/o needing the iPhone.

My phone is simply the conduit that everything flows through - I have everything routed to Mac, iPad, etc. My phone is just on a table next to my keys so I don't forget to pick it up on the way out the door.
Sorry about that! We're hoping to roll it out to other countries before long.
Its not the right tradeoff for everything, but this took 10 minutes to code and runs on practically every modern computer in existence.
Wow. clearly designed only for touch screens. Needing to click and drag the mouse to pan on a desktop is absolutely terrible.
There are all things out of our control. I can't control other people's attraction. I can't control someone hiring me or paying me more because I'm tall, hell you can't really even measure that on an individual level. These are basically genie rules, right? No love/attraction.

Want to know what is in our control? not charging extra money in order for someone to not hurt themselves on an airplane because they fall outside the bounds of average.
Nature may have run enough experiments to know that the less deadly strain is as safe as a vaccine, but she won't just tell us that. We would have to discover it for ourselves with the same scientific method we use to interrogate vaccine candidates. Which BTW is the time-consuming part... we already have some candidates.

This matters because if someone were to do anything to promote or help others infect themselves with the strain... that person or company could face significant civil liability if the strain turns out to not be safe for everyone. Even one wrongful death suit can ruin your day.

Vaccine liability is "manually managed" via federal legislation. Encouraging people to have infection parties is not.
Worked in IT for a dozen years doing network administration. I felt alone and irreplaceable. The job was nice enough to afford me time to study nursing for a career change. I hired my replacement as I started school assuming quick termination. As luck would have it, they gave me a raise when I went part-time and I no longer had to do any projects I didn't care for.

When I started my nursing job at the hospital I continued to work with my old company once per week. Now that I'm super busy as a nurse and continuing my nursing education, I fear my old tech job will really end soon. I kinda like it once per week!

I love my new career. I get to work closely with people and help them through tough times. It's very rewarding and my new colleagues appreciate my tech background. I've gotten 2 raises since I started 6 months ago and now make more than my old job working only 3 days per week. The job is not easy, but when I go home, someone else is doing the job so nobody is calling me urgently to get something done.

At the same time, I moved from a small company to a large company. The benefits are good and the perks are complete. Since I started my job as a nurse I have received almost 200 hours of professional development training. Useful classes that apply towards making me better at my job. In my old tech job, I went to an annual trade show and that was about the extent of training.

Anybody else have a job like I did in tech? I had infinite projects to do and unlimited time to do them in. It was weird and not conducive to productivity. Now every day I go to work, I know I will do something important. My patients will be grateful and my employers will support me. Yeah, no regrets here!
hence why I divided by the passenger, not total, count
Wow what a career change! Congrats and thank you for sharing your story!

Sending out checks is pretty popular with voters, which is why he's insisting on having his personal signature on them in an election year.
it's a relatively tiny amount as part of a mutual fund (chosen by someone else)

Now a real president would have liquidated his investments and put them into a blind trust, but Trump doesn't have that sort of integrity. But it's a tiny amount in the scheme of things, I suspect he's grasping at straws and wants to dangerously rush opening the economy because he's more worried about no one going to his hotels or using his golf courses, not because of this tiny investment.
You are correct that state is hard to manage, and consequently, the less state you have to manage, the better.

The developers of Terraform and Pulumi know this, but chose to make their tools stateful anyway. That's because if they were stateless, while they would certainly be less of a pain to manage, they would also not be as useful.

For example, without state, the tool wouldn't know what resources it has provisioned in the past. Consequently, it also wouldn't know what resources it can safely remove or modify.

Another example is that, without state, the tool cannot detect when a resource needs to be re-created from scratch, and when it simply needs to be renamed because the operator made a typo in the previous run.

In summary, yes state is hard, but sometimes you just need it to get the job done.

This is what I've done the past couple weeks and it's going pretty well:

Start with plain Emacs. Print/write out the popular cheatsheets. Just make sure you know how to exit, access the documentation, and move around the windows/frames/buffers. Get Melpa & install some packages. Play with the config, adding keybindings, figure out hooks and so on. Copy some elisp functions from dotfiles on Github. Spam the documentation command on everything. Get frustrated with how much tinkering you need to do to get the crazy setups you've seen on blogposts. Stay motivated by consuming more content about custom setups. Discover the magic of magit and parinfer and dired. Look up some of the org-mode/PIM heroes on github, usernames: novoid, alphapapa, karlicoss

Install Doom. Tinker with it a bit. Take notes of your learning in an org file. Tinker some more. Go back to plain emacs for a bit. Then try spacemacs. Go straight back to Doom because it's faster and you now understand enough about emacs to be scared of spacemacs' layers.

Below are some links to help you along the way.

Ouch. Worse than I thought. I suppose it's correlated to eventual revenue— doctors aren't nearly as rich in Europe, although they are clearly among the top earners. (what filoleg suggests in the other reply)

There's an underlying premise, I think, that countries like France or Germany seek to minimize the cost of healthcare in general, because the bill is collectively paid— the bottom line is a direct cost on GDP, that's what mutualizing bills means i.e. "social security", beyond that the whole socialistic apparel of redistribution of (some % of) wealth.

Artificially inflating any of these mutual bills simply means that some (people, corporations, the medical field entirely including drugs and supplies) would take more than they should from all others, financially. Starting with having to buy their way in the field (exactly the kind of artificial gating that modern democracies sought to remove, historically; long-term it's no better than saying "voting costs $100k per person").

It's a form of inner competition at a national level, because the enrichment of some hampers the velocity of the whole towards the core mission. It's a huge distraction, at best.

In layman terms: because I'm gonna charge 200 instead of 100, the country can only buy N/2 worth of what I do. If "I" is the entire field of medicine drugs/supplies/infra, we only cure half what we could, but I personally get 2x profits. It's wrong on every level when we're talking about mutual bills.

But in the USA, the bills are not (yet) mutualized, not enough of them... so there is no incentive to keep costs low and treat as much as we could, because microeconomically, it makes more sense for the field of medicine to increase its relative profit. Unless you add the macroeconomic coupling, that bills are mutualized and everybody pays them at the end of the day, it just can't / won't change imho.

SEO is only a part of your strategy to get eyeballs in front of your text. SEA (Search Engine Advertising) and SMO (Social Media Optimization) are important (more ore less, depending on your product).
> so that basically your client gets to pick the second 1/2 of your address now. And the nice thing is, most major platforms will actually run multiple addresses in parallel, allowing new connections to use a new address while old connections keep using the old one.

This is really interesting and I was not aware of this. Are there any links where I can read about this more? I tried searching around, but did not find anything.
I work for a small company where tech is elementary for the primary product, and even has become a (small) product of its own. I used to work one day per week from home, which suited me well, but since the bloody Corona crisis, I've been working from home full time, and I don't like it, at all, and video conferencing even less. Although I am nerdy-ish and introvert, it seems I do need to connect to physical people from time to time.
