Only if you take away the middle lens, not the third.

Here's what I would have thought happens: After the first lens, you get polarized light, 90deg offset from the last lens, so no light passes. Then you introduce a 3rd lens in the middle, 45deg offset. This could alter the polarization (maybe it widens the band, or introduce some greater variance, shifts it who knows), and this is why now some light will pass through number 3.
No need to create any light

I think previous poster is talking about a bug where the promise is never resolve nor rejected. So it just hangs out there, unresolved, forever.

I don't think using explicit callbacks helps, though, which has the same potential issue (worse really, since you're probably handling callbacks directly more often, depending on the patterns you use).

Can anyone recommend reading for the web-related Javascript "API" so that when Javascript is used in the form of generated code, e.g., through asm.js, the "API" can be used by the "generating program" without the need to learn all of Javascript.

Essentially so you could do HTML/CSS/some-other-language (using asm.js, emscripten, or some similar technology) instead of HTML/CSS/JS.

Not really enough information to base a diagnosis on and not that I would be qualified to do so, but the thought certainly crossed my mind that the poster might consider being tested. Lack of interest and lack of maintained interest is certainly in the realm of possibility. Unlike other psychotropic meds, ADHD meds have a fairly high success rate and a rapid onset of effective treatment. Pretty much with one dose a person can tell if they are going to work for them or not. For most that suffer it's like night and day.
We have some flexibility on our American usage of "quite" but it means "nearly" or "almost completely", unless it means "totally!"

So to say "that's not quite right" means you're close but something is off.

But to say "that was quite an adventure" means it was totally an adventure, as much as anything could be.

Now be quiet and quit while you're ahead ;)

It certainly does, and I never turn off UBO, but I still pay for Youtube Premium because I'm glad the possibility exists.

The whole system will be an eternal war between ad pushers and ad blockers, until we provide a third way, and I think the 'free with ads, pay a subscription to take ads off' is a fair solution to the issue of 'How do websites get paid for their services without relying on selling user-data and bombarding us with ads, while also keeping their website accessible for most'.

I'm sure there are other, but choosing the 'don't pay and don't watch' when they at least try to provide a solution to get out of ads is counter-productive in the long term.

The friend did not.

He was looking specifically to invest in Gujarat, because of family ties. However, the government decided the project wasn’t worth it and binned it. IIRC they were more interested in developing solar. I tried googling around for articles related to it, this the best I could find: https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/renewable/i...

Australian government wasn’t super interested in developing tidal resources because of the coal special interest groups, but also because solar resources are lower hanging fruit. The UK project was very legitimate and institutionally mature, but was more of a science project for proving the technology than an investment opportunity.
It's also easy to dramatically underestimate the order of magnitude of effort involved in "the budget to pay experienced people to bash their heads against it".
Animating DOM Changes
I doubt that standing there as a poor peasant with a spear, while getting charged by a horde of knights on massive battle horses in full armour is any less traumatic than the crack of a snipers bullet whizzing over ones head.

And medieval combat was quite a gruesome affair, cleaving people into peaces with axes and swords, in an age without proper medical care...

What has changed though, is the staying power of armies which nowadays can stay in contact for long times with somewhat low intensity fighting going on all the time. This of course changes the whole psychology aspect, its not the stress of one battle going on for a day or so, but the stress of a battle going on for weeks.
You should always think about NULL state for every field when designing your schema. If you don't have a clear sense of what the NULL state shall mean for a given field, the field should not allow null values.

For example: a shopping cart might contain a tee-shirt in blue colour and expedited shipping in NULL colour. That blue tee-shirt might be the same colour as some blue socks... but that NULL-coloured shipping isn't the same colour as a NULL-coloured charitable donation.

We don't need a lockdown. We only need to have enough hygenic protections in place to keep the infection rate low. With sinking infection count, the infection rate drops to zero in many places - you do need to have contact with an infected person to get infected.

Good hand hygene and wearing masks and keeping distances in most places go a long way towards preventing infections. Events like the Oktoberfest and other gatherings of thousands in direct contact might be cancelled for undetermined time, but the rest of the life can continue.
It was pretty wild wild west, really.

The idea that some some compounds didn't just contain some fire was still common when the first list of elements was put together. A big leap forward was realizing air had two principle components, burn-y air and not burn-y air.

They figured out water wasn't an element when the burn-y air and some mystery gas burned to make it.

Basically, everything was maybe an element until they either broke it into pieces, or made it out of other stuff.
I have been looking around for a new opportunity, but I haven't come across any that made me comfortable enough to resign from my current job. My fear is that it will just be the same thing, and in that case, I might as well stay where I'm at.
Does the issue become individual corrections?

On the one hand, Lightroom corrects my lens distortion and vignette from a saved profile of that lens; but I’d think at a smartphone level, where the parts are smaller, they’re also less even?

In other words, camera lenses are small so manufacturing defects are more noticeable. Therefore, each smartphone requires a different correction.

I don’t know, I’m just guessing.

This is a matter of knowing yourself. What actually keeps you going when working on a project at work?

Oh
PhD student here. Not expert on all those questions but:

> Macroeconomics. Central banks are "creating" a trillion here, a trillion there, like nobody's business. What is the thought process that central bankers have gone through to make these decisions?

The general consensus is that central banks should stay passive and keep prices stable. However, in periods of crisis, like the one we live in, the central bank could support economy. In ordinary times, creating trillions would lead to inflation. But here the idea is more to save the economy in the short term because it's always cheaper than reparing it. Central bankers agreed to create trillions such that banks do not go bankrupt like they did in 1929. By creating trillions, they also keep interest rates low for government such that they can still borrow.

> But what are the consequences?

Some inflation. Another consequence is that investors will invest in riskier assets afterward to keep their profitability target. (Again, because lending trillions will lower the interest rates)

> Also why, exactly, are they buying the exact assets that they are buying (govt. debt, high-yield bonds, etc..)?

They usually buy low risk, higly liquid assets. Putting trillions in startups is infinitely infinitely complicated for a central bank because it implies high monitoring costs, and it also takes a lot of time to create those kind of contracts. Remind that the goal is to provide lot of liquidity to the economy as fast as possible.
There is also an academic debate about giving money directly to the general public (known as "helicopter money"), but with little attention from central bankers.

> And then, what happens if a debtor pays back its debt? Is that money consequently getting "erased" again ?

Yep, pretty much...
Appart from fiat money, money is constantly created and destroyed. It is mostly created by private banks when they grant loans. And it is destroyed when you repay it. Of course they cannot do whatever they like and create at will, but remember that "Deposits DO NOT make the credits (but in some way it defines how much you could create)"

> What percentage of the debt is expected to default and how much is expected to be paid back? What would happen if a country defaults on a loan given by a central bank?

Central banks buy bonds, and bonds are pretty much always paid back. And if not, the central bank will not suffer much. Cases of countries not reimbursing are very scarce and exceptional (I can just think of Argentina). Anyway, a country CANNOT go bankrupt like a person. And in general, comparing countries with individuals or companies is not a good idea. Countries are here pretty much forever (in a financial sense), you don't. Countries can waive taxes, individuals cannot.
That's how regulation works mostly. Even if the intentions are noble, this has happened so many times that politicians should know better.

It makes me wonder why are editorial pieces like this one hosted on official wikipedia page.

Branding a discussion as a lame diminishes the importance of the discussion. Taking as an example Chopin, the whole importance of of him being considered a Pole is reduced (you can even see it in the comments in this thread) to accusations of nationalism and tribalism. I'm worried that next time someone tries to take a more nuanced, more informed approach to editing they will stop themselves in the fear of being included in a piece like this.
A physics undergrad degree will teach you all of these skills. I imagine, you can memorize a fairly large set of skills needed to do this in a few months, but practicing these skills to high proficiency takes a few years - which is the length of an undergrad degree.
>Nobody quite knows

A lot of these things are kind on unknowable because they depend on future human behaviour in ways you can't really predict. A lot of George Soros's theory of reflexivity is along those lines. People think they are calculating on the basis of fundamentals but the things that look like fundamentals are actually functions of human behaviour so the system is inherently unstable. He's made a few bob from that.

You don't even need to go to the ancient world to see this. A rudimentary look at genealogy will show you that even in the 19th century.

If a child under 2 dies, you'll often see reuse of that name for the next child. There were cultural standards, particularly in Europe, around naming children after paternal and maternal grandparents and so forth (such that often you can tell what number a child was by their name if you know the relative's names).

Think about that for a second. Let's say you had a child who died at 6 months old. 1-2 years down the track you had another child and you'd use the same name.

We have totally different expectations of mortality than a century ago. A child born today in the developed world is incredibly likely to make it to adulthood. It's simply not conceivable than in an era of greater infant mortality that there weren't different attitudes to the death of a child.
I disagree that a flat case count is positive. That strategy is essentially a bet on others failing to contain the virus. If you assume 90% of infections go undetected, you're looking at 2+ years until you reach 60% of immune people (10M Swedes, ~4300 new cases per week), so the time frame is probably dictated by the availability of a vaccine which - I hope - should be available sooner.

If other countries do succeed in containing the virus, that means travel in and out of Sweden will have to be restricted in that time frame, and death rates will have been higher (and not just a deferral effect).

Since some countries apparently have been succeeding in containing the virus, I don't think that is a good bet to make.

I'm not GP but some journals have formatting requirements such as specifying which sections (e.g. introduction, background, methods, results, discussion) you must have and in what order. Also relative size of these e.g. how much background is expected? Word/page length limits both for the abstract and complete article. Nit picks like whether you refer to Figure 1 or fig. 1 in the text (and whether it's capitalized if not at sentence start). Usually if you reformat a bibliography to a different referencing style, even automatically, it needs checking as the database fields will have been used in different ways and often errors creep in. Different wording for competing interests and author contributions statements and maybe a different position for the former (in the main manuscript / a separate file). The list goes on...

Not to mention often the latex style (or word template) given often directly contradicts the author instructions page on the website.

But minimum daily intake of fiber, for humans to remain healthy, is not zero.

Vegetables, especially if you eat them in amounts that sustain your weight, have enough omega essential fatty acids to last you a lifetime.

Legumes do have fat in them.

If you eat 2000kcal of red lentils, there's more than enough protein and fat content, almost meets your omega-3 essential fatty acid requirement. Nothing stops you from adding different fattier vegetables.
That's a rather narrow view of things, one that I'm surprised to see on HN.

Automatically that view is disqualified because we are talking about Bluetooth headphones; there must be software on them to communicate efficiently with paired devices.

AirPods receive firmware updates to make adjustments to the audio, and AirPods Pro receive further updates to make adjustments to balance audio quality and the way the noise cancellation works in order to make sure that the AirPods fit properly in peoples' ears.

I don't know that (A) connectivity, (B) audio quality, and (C) fitting in peoples' ears are contrived in any way.
This is education, the centrepiece of The Labour Party's 1997 manifesto:

Just weeks before polling day, Tony Blair said:
“Labour has no plans to introduce tuition fees
for higher education.”

Labour’s Robin Cook added: “We are quite clear
that tuition costs must be met by the state.”

just two months after becoming prime minister,
Blair went ahead and introduced tuition fees.[0]

> Can you demonstrate where the opposition had those policies?

True, in opposition the Tories were actually opposed to Labour's tuition fees, condemning them as an attack on the poor and even promising to scrap them.

They know a good, juicy Tory policy when they see it though, and under David Cameron they reversed their pretend opposition, kept tuition fees and increased them.

So it does a serious disservice to Blair to say he merely copied Tory policies, when his Labour Party so out-Toried the Tories, they were reduced to copying him.

Genetic testing does a great job determining sex objectively.

What if what we "feel" is wrong and our fabrication of identity has led us to a point where a machine can determine our "truest" gender based on our behaviours much better than an individual can self-ascribe one? Rendering it (to borrow from econ) a preference that is expressed and not always revealed, and nullifying any socially inferred stereotyped.

At best (for those that care) this at least can give us a gender spectrum, and a means of objectively assessing someone, which has upsides and downsides of course.

Show HN: A decentralized and anonymous contact-tracing app
Congrats, you're American.
Basocally, we can think of momentum in two parts: the momentum of an object orbitting another, and the momentum of the object spinning on an axis.

At the subatomic level, we observe that electrons have some extra angular momentum, beyond what we'd expect from their "orbits". We call that spin, because it's intrinsic, like the spinning of a macroscale object.
Wat? It obviously isn't. Scandinavia is characterized by mutually intelligible languages (at least in theory), and Finnish is clearly unintelligible. It is part of the Nordic countries though.
> The whole point of contact tracing is to give the government access to contacts when needed (location is much less important).

Yeah, but only when needed, only as much as strictly necessary and deleting it immediately afterwards. I don't think we will allow general surveillance without a fight with a huge part of the population and fundamental changes to our society and our way to live.

Also, I don't agree at all. One right doesn't simply cancel another. And a mandatory app is simply not compatible with our idea of freedom, at least as I understood our basic law. Maybe in certain situation but a general surveillance is illegal.

We won't throw away our (liberal) democracy and the rule of law.

You can't set a target and just simply force the population to comply. I think we can achieve a good penetration without resorting to authoritarian measures. We have achieved some good numbers so far here in Germany, we can use this to further fight the coronavirus without turning into an authoritarian regime. Even our scientists, e.g. Prof. Drosten from the Charite, understand that politics is not science, there are limits what's possible and always stresses that the society itself must decide to act.
