> That's not how Japanese immigration or prosecution work

Please enlighten us. How does public defamation work in Japan then? I don't know much but I did just google it right now[0] and to my layman eyes it looks bad:

> “(1) A person who defames another by alleging facts in public shall, regardless of whether such facts are true or false, be punished by imprisonment with or without work for not more than three (3) years or a fine of not more than 500,000 yen.”

The only time I've ever completed a game is when I made giant 80x80 cells served only by trains. Each cell was dedicated to a single recipe, with vertical train stations on the left for inputs, vertical train stations on the right for output, and beaconed factories in the middle.

Each cell focused on executing the recipe as fast as it needed to to fill up the output station faster than it could be drained by other cells' input trains. If something was being produced faster than other cells' trains were draining it, then it would back up and stop (and even shut off power via a switch logistic-connected to the output chest). If something was being produced slower, 80x80 is plenty of space to add more factories till it isn't.

Near the end the bottleneck was actually how fast I could ship ore from the faraway mines to the smelter cells (I built it organically so all the smelter cells ended up near the center, while the ores were coming in from the outside), but at time I was launching one rocket every few seconds so it didn't really matter.

Building it took multiple days because I only built out one or two cells a day, but the freedom from having to think about belts and ratios was worth it. I did not have to worry about prioritization because if one cell needed an output more than another cell, its trains would implicitly be coming to the output station more often. With belts you can end up with a situation where, say, the demand for green circuits is high but your iron plate bus only has two lines dedicated to the green circuits factory area, and there's no space to add more lines. With trains I would just add more factories to the green circuits cell, and its iron plate input train would automatically start running more often without me needing to do anything to it.

Unfortunately that experience has spoiled the vanilla game for me. Every time I try to play I remember how easy it made things and don't want to play any other way, but I also remember how many days it took to build and I don't want to repeat it.
This is great. I totally want to emulate this.
They also invested in a campaign of intimidation, abuse, and murder. They also didn't value hard work or really any work.

So you're right they spent a lot of effort on education in STEM but didn't follow through on fostering an environment that rewards hard work so all these super smart analytical ppl realized there was no reason to try.
This is really refreshing to read. I feel like despite being home nearly all the time, I'm simultaneously logging less work hours, getting fewer chores done, exercising less, and overall more tired. I think I am playing with the dog more at least but I feel like I'm in a time warp.

I am currently chalking it up to the monotony being quite exhausting subconsciously, even if it doesn't seem like it at first.
They already created Red Pro for business use, and market it as "Designed and tested for RAID environments 8-16 Bay NAS", at a 37% markup relative to the Red in my market. My quick Google sleuth indicates those are not SMR. The Red line is marketed as "Designed and tested for RAID environments 1-8 Bay NAS", which implies they're for more than just a 2-bay Synology box.

I'm still not convinced it doesn't just sweep the complexity under the rug. Ultimately you still need to branch unless you only want the language to do pure mathematical computation or something like that. Only now every branch needs to be hidden in a function call.
I bet iTunes does for the storefront.
First sentence states:

"When faced with a decision, people may know which choice gives them the best chance of success, but still take the other option."

THIS CAN BE RATIONAL.

"Best chance of success" ignores weightings.

Say Spruce St. is slower than Main St. by 2 mins on a normal day. And Main St. had a 90-min delay yesterday. If there is even a 3% chance that Main St. has a similar delay today, it is smarter to take Spruce St.; even though Main St. has the best "chance" of success (97% of the time you will get home faster with Main St.).

Maybe the actual study does not make this mistake, but the wording of the article certainly does.
Wow, thanks for that link, that's an amazing essay.
Depends on the product. Not all products are built for these types of trials. If a product needs more heavy lifting to show value then you are more likely to have a sales team. And just because you can evaluate that complex product by yourself doesn't mean that happens for everyone else.

Selling, by the way, is not just demo'ing the product. It's also navigating legal, finance, security, end users who don't know as much as you do, etc. As a buyer, it's sometimes easier to have your rep help you identify what the quickest path is. Lets me move faster, anyway.

I watched my fair share of RealPlayer video at about that bitrate 25 years ago. I see absolutely no reason that a modern codec designed for low bitrates couldn’t look that good on a talking head. It’s not like they are pandering though. They released the software. There is no need to speculate.

I can only assume but culture makes things very different. I often said that French abstract algebra books stopped me from learning for 10 years (after many serious attempts). One book from Garreth Williams unlocked 80% of my issues. The shocking part was the approach. It was very operational, you calculate, you manipulate concrete data. In French books it's all theorems and concepts. Learning curve to make a Haskeller faint. And that book is not the only instance, Gilbert Strang lectures on youtube are also similar in style. It also correlates with the pragmatic engineering of US history (electricity comes to mind).
is this (title) a trick question? the answer seems self-evident: you email them back with "is there a self-serve option where i can sign up online and try it out for myself? if not, why not?" maybe not so curt, but something to that effect.

outside of a startup or a new product where handholding might be needed for other reasons, having sales folks typically tips off the pricing a bit. it's generally too expensive to employ inside sales people for deals that average less than about high four figures, and the same for outside sales people less than about mid five figures.

Personally, I gravitate towards grayed-out comments. I think that they tend to be likely to be on one or another extreme side of the intellectual bell curve. Basically, they end up grayed out because either they are too dumb or too smart for the average Hacker News user. So if I manage to run an effective mental filter to discard grayed-out comments that are on the low side of the intellectual gray curve, then gravitating towards grayed-out comments makes it more likely that I am exposed to content that is in the highest intellectual range of Hacker News comments as a whole.
My dad took the advanced courses for physics, math, organic chem in first year University of Toronto in 1970. I've seen his textbooks and they were on the same level of this. Much more advanced than what I saw in the 90s/00s. More focus on reasoning from first principles, less focus on easily approachable material.

Basically I'm saying that baby boomers had more advanced textbooks in their university period compared to what their kids got in the 90s/00s. But also less people went to university back then, it was more rigorously academic back then.
Networking drivers and APIs are nice to have - they are often omitted in OS project assignments because it's hard to fit them into the course schedule.

However for an IoT/embedded OS networking is pretty essential.

It's also against Nazi guidelines to have open and honest free speech as opposed to speech that simply supports the agenda of those in power. Good for you for supporting the elite power! I hope they reward you for licking their anus vigorously, Mr. Chamberlain.
Which should also lead to a broader consideration of “why do so many people need cars in the first place?”

This is why you hire people with empathy who can write to do support. Actually, just hire them for every position.
There's a difference too between allowing self-hosted JS and 3rd party JS. As a no-script user, if a site does not work with JS blocked, I will allow self-hosted JS while still blocking 3rd party. If it still doesn't work, then I consider if the site is something I'm really interested in or not. If not, tab closes. If I am, then I'll look to see if there's 3rd party stuff I trust.

In your example, allowing Amazon's JS allows the site to work at least as far as AWS Console behaves. I don't really use eBay, so I can't speak to what JS is required.
Their logic is a bit weird to me, I would definitely choose a fork from professional that re-write everything with a security perspective, over a bad library trying to be hardened .

The specific metric, IIRC, is self-compilation of the compiler. Adding optimizations to the compiler needed to speed up compilation of the compiler more than their added complexity slowed down compilation of the compiler.
Their method of local organization is very similar to the Zapatistas, or more recently, Rojava - both also shift the focus of governance onto the local level, where it can be done by the community itself as much as possible.

The details of the system in Rojava are better documented - they have a written constitution, for starters, but there's also more media scrutiny because of the war, producing some very detailed write-ups. Both can be fascinating to read:

But you do need a computer to teach programming (generally.) The US has generally been about efficiency, there isn't much need wasting time on paper with a problem when we can understand the concept and solve the problem with a computer. That's my opinion of course, as an American. So I'm biased. When I was taking advanced math classes, my first thought when presented a concept was "how can I solve this by writing a calculator program to do it for me." Maybe that isn't common, I don't know, but while it might not be what everyone does...I think that is the American thinking on learning things.
Yes, they kept the name.

"NT Subsystems have always varied in nature of how they operate."

Not sure what you mean here. There were classically three environment subsystems and they all fit in to the architecture in a consistent manner:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/Windows_...

The fact that if you look at the full callstack and address space of a regular Linux process running in WSL2 you won't see the "classic" NT Kernel anywhere feels like a pretty big difference to me.

Yes they are still supporting WSL1. Microsoft's support policies are generally excellent. But it seems very unlikely there will be an interest in providing OS emulation or compatibility at the userspace/OS kernel boundary using the classic subsystem architecture, as a technical direction for the Windows team to invest in going forward. It's an architectural dead-end.

I haven't used reCAPTCHA, but based on my understanding from Google's documentation[0], there are a few differences:

1. reCAPTCHA doesn't send information until you explicitly call their library. Stripe's library immediately begins reporting to data as soon as the script is loaded.

2. reCAPTCHA is explicit in its documentation that it's collecting behavior about your users. Its sole purpose is to track user behavior, so implementers understand that it does this. Stripe's main purpose is to accept payment information, and it is currently not transparent about how it collects user behavior to achieve that. I don't believe that most implementers understand the nature of Stripe's data collection.

> Is there some realistic path for me to escalate?

Is the instructor an ad junct? Those are cheap and replaceable. They make maybe ~1/10th of what your average FAANG engineer makes because the labor supply is extraordinarily over-saturated. Enough complaints will probably get them fired, if that's what you're looking for, but realize you're probably putting someone with no prospects and no savings out on the street and they will almost certainly be replaced with someone who gives about as many shits as you can expect from someone with a PhD who makes 30k a year. That tuition you're paying isn't flowing to the people teaching the courses.

If the instructor is an actual professor, then probably there's nothing you can do.

BTW, let your kid at least try their hand at navigating this on their own, even if you provide oversight. Barely competent people doing a poor job is not unique to pandemic times and is definitely not unique to higher ed. Knowing how to use a bureaucracy to route around an incompetent person not doing their job well is a valuable life skill. Plus, everyone involved is going to be more sympathetic to an articulate student than to a "helicopter parent".
In case you haven't seen it, those studies indicating a higher rate of infection (the ~5% ones) are almost certainly wrong.

Thanks to all. That’s frankly terrifying. If it weren’t for COVID I would send them back post-haste.
Nitpick: RAID-5 and RAID-6 don't use "parity disks". They stripe the parity across every disk, just like RAID-0 stripes data, so you lose a disk worth of capacity (or two disks worth of capacity in RAID-6), but the parity is on every disk. Having a disk dedicated to parity would be an incredibly burdensome write bottleneck, which is exactly what RAID-4 is, and why you probably haven't heard of it.
I’ve heard that too. Fairly normal ones right? 25GB/disc sounds cumbersome to handle though.
Thank's for the insight. I struggled with geography until I discovered history...again, after high school of course. I still struggle with algebra, so I look forward to checking your suggestions out. I think my problem as a kid was I was just hyper, all the time. I could cut wood outside for 10 hours but couldn't sit still for a moment.
Dan you continue to be a Nazi ideologue in the service of sociopaths. I have tried for years to help you but it's hopeless isn't it. You won't stop sucking their ass in the promotion of fascism. You horrible piece of evil.

I wish you would get what you have created for yourself but there is no justice. The innocent will be oppressed by the elitist liars you support as a sycophant and justice will never prevail. It's horrible. You could switch sides but they are tossing bones at you and you will sell out the good for a tiny token. It's horrible.
The channel or team messaging part is unusable. You can't leave channels, you can't ever get the right people in a team. Everyone just ends up using group chat, which is way more closed.
For channel messaging it does not compete with Slack.
“We’ve gained extremely valuable insights from operating our own car-sharing business,” Pamela Fletcher, GM’s vice president of global innovation, said in a statement. “Our learnings and developments from Maven will go on to benefit and accelerate the growth of other areas of GM business.”

What a load of bullshit, just say the business failed and you shut it down. This is another example of the post-truth world where anyone can say whatever they want even if it's stupid and wrong. Startups that fail didn't have a wonderful journey, products that fail don't give valuable insight into entirely different lines of business (well, they might give some insight), and an executive that leaves after 2 months isn't a good sign no matter how they twist it.
America did this too. There was the New Math trend in the 50-60s which feels like common core. Here's a comedy song about it from that era.https://youtu.be/UIKGV2cTgqA
Ok, that's enough now. Since you clearly don't want to use HN as intended, I've banned this account.
If it's racist to treat people differently in a way that affects people of some races, than anything less than open borders (allowing anyone to immigrate for any reason) is racist. If you don't support open boarders, you're either a racist, or that definition of racism is too broad.
For that reason, I prefer Chamath Palihapitiya's 2019 annual letter [1] over pmarca's essay. It's not merely descriptive of societal problems at large, but calls out actor and makes prescriptions. Two lines from the letter

> Governments can do a lot to make it more expensive for Big Tech to hoard human capital and allow this talent to flow more naturally to small businesses and startups so that they can more effectively compete and create vibrant ecosystems.

> The intellectual lobotomization of smart, young STEM talent has been an explicit strategy by Big Tech fueled by unseemly profitability and hi flying stock prices.

I think the reason why pmarca's essay is so tame in comparison, is that pmarca believes you can have the best of both worlds: high venture returns and non-tech societal progress that doesn't necessitate government.

Interesting that this intersects with something I've been experimenting with lately. A friend of mine came up with a way of doing 41-tone equal temperament on a modified guitar [1]. One of the tricks is that since 41-TET would require the frets to be so tightly packed that the guitar would be difficult to play, you simply omit every other fret and tune the guitar so that each string has the notes its neighbors on either side lack.

It's a little strange not having all the notes on all the strings, but it actually works out surprisingly well. Chord intonation is a bit nicer than 12-TET, and you get pretty good approximations of the 7-limit just intonation intervals as well.

Funny, because Canada (and other countries) likely wouldn’t be able to get away with having such a small army if it were not for the protection afforded by US power projection. It’s easy to look at the large military in the US and feel morally superior living in a country with a small military. But most likely that country benefits from an alliance with the US. The fact that the US has such a large military is a major reason why many other countries do not need one.
Dallasite here. While the marketing campaign was very catchy, it has fallen on hard times. Take a walk or drive through Dallas, and you’ll quickly become crestfallen with the amount of litter constantly flowing with the breeze. It’s a disgrace.
I’ve implemented my own Stripe checkout for a native application in just a couple of hours, using their REST API. There’s nothing stopping everyone else from doing the same: it’s literally how you used to integrate with payment gateways before Stripe came along. No one gave you a JS library to use on your website.
One might even go so far as to say that the whole program is a function :)
The US has pretty much been at war with someone somewhere since WWII. President Eisenhower's military war complex warnings shows it was already apparent at that time. Stockpiling weapons is only so effective at keeping the complex running. It's much better to constantly be depleting the stockpiles requiring them to constantly being replenished while also needing new toys to be created. I don't know/think/research that the neighbors to the north have been involved in nearly as many conflicts.

Edit: corrected the actual president. thanks ethbro
I thought about something like this as well. You could use "low resolution ray-tracing", i.e. using very thick light rays to create layers of 2D snapshots of what's suppose to be beyond the range of view. And then evolve the system from there :)
