There’s something fishy about Nautilus. One of their main contributors is the John Templeton Foundation:

“The work supported by the John Templeton Foundation crosses disciplinary, religious, and geographical boundaries. Our grantees produce field-leading scholarship across the sciences, theology, and philosophy. From probing gravitational waves to updating the modern evolutionary synthesis, they have contributed to major discoveries in the basic sciences. Other grantees have opened critical new topics to scientific investigation, including prayer, gratitude, immortality, and imagination.”

An initial reaction from someone online, https://ksj.mit.edu/archive/does-science-magazine-nautilus-h...

In 2013, Amos Zeeberg, the digital editor of Nautilus said this in an interview:
“The Templeton Foundation provided all of the money for our launch and for the initial operation of the magazine. We hope they’ll fund us further, and we also are getting revenue from advertising and potentially other foundations.”

I read my public university's annual finance reports, and there's been a shift away from steady general funds towards less secure non-general funds.

My take-away is that as the formerly safe and relatively simple general state funds dried up, universities invested more in securing funding through various creative means. Which requires more and better administration.

International student tuition is a big source of general funds. But attracting and supporting them takes some investment. So universities grow and they pay more for people who can better balance the books.

University finance is very diversified now. You can't directly see most of it. But you can see a bunch of foreigners walking around campus, and you can look up state employee salaries online. They're symptoms.

The problem is that finance is getting more complicated.

I think. This is just my layman's understanding.

> I would like to interject here that many companies are specifically looking or requiring software devs to work or to have worked on „open source“ projects.

Are you sure there are many companies like that? Not just that it is not my experience, but it also mean their ability to hire is limited to miniscule amount of developer.

I want a poor, black child with outstanding talent to be able to have that talent identified, nurtured, developed, and maximized. Based on what I see in my fairly progressive town (Cambridge, MA), I don’t think we’ve gotten to even this basic level of equality of opportunity.

It is not about society’s accommodation/assistance of specifically the gifted but rather about ensuring that people of all conditions can develop their potential. Society should care about this because it’s the long-term flywheel that improves the human condition.

The pie can get bigger, too. It’s not just about dividing a fixed pie most evenly.
Show HN: A technical SEO cheat sheet (and flying astronaut)
Is complete ignorance of the economics of US collegiate sports a European thing? Those big sports teams are money-makers, not cost centers. Everyone bitches and whines about a college football coach being paid more than anyone else at the university, but that same coach's team actually provides funding to the rest of the university. The sports teams are not expenses, they are revenue.
Because dang asked for a way to do better than the way HN does it currently, which precludes that and not doing it at all.

I read up a bit into this a few year ago and China invading Taiwan is actually far harder than you'd think. There are only a few easily fortified areas that can handle an amphibious assault, and either way PLA has limited amphibious assault capability and limited modern warfighting experience (PLA is actually suprisingly corrupt and ineffective).

Of course, during a war military planners expect massive cyber attacks against Taiwan, and CCP sympathizers within Taiwan committing sabotage. Military planners also expect NATO forces to use missile barrages against targets on the mainland of China (which would clearly cause escalation).
Many operators "zero-rate" WhatsApp, meaning that you can access the service without having to pay for a higher tier full data connection. It's true for many mobile data plans and even sometimes wifi hotspots. It's shitty because it gives WhatsApp an advantage that's extremely hard to compete with but it does make it a lot more reliable and cheap to use than some alternatives.
I imagine many will go see if tmux does it as well. Tmux appears to not want that feature: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/1862
Those things have already changed though.

Students graduating this year will not be able to remain and work in the US because the US has stopped processing work visas and are explicitly preventing immigrants from getting new jobs.

This is in addition to the fact that international student numbers had already dropped over the past couple of years thanks to US hostility towards immigrants.
I've worked on Newsflash (A usenet binary grabber) for +15 years. http://github.com/ensisoft/newsflash-plus

The software is free to use and the source is available however not with permissive license. The money I've made when divided by hours of work approaches $0 per hour rate. But hey, I wrote it for myself mostly.

Anyway.. the answer.. a full time job on the side. :|
I've started with Web Development in 2013. Back then Node.js was still in 0.x versions, Electron was basically non-existent and Django looked ten-times better than anything PHP was able to offer. I've dabbled with some PHP/Node/Java framework tutorials since then but haven't really had reason to fully switch.

But if I started today I would probably try to find some framework to do everything in JS/TS.
Pro-bono work is generally done on the clock. Open source work (where I've worked at least) is expected during personal time. That's the major difference from my experience.
It does seem neat, yep! It looks like it's based on a format called PreTeXt[1], and the interactive exercises (Q&A) are implemented using an extension called WeBWorK.

I have questions about their agenda. They were exclusively funded, initially, by the John Templeton Foundation.

Whatever one’s personal feelings about Richard Dawkins, this bit he said in The God Delusion is apropos, regarding how he feels the Templeton Foundation doles out rewards, “usually to a scientist who is prepared to say something nice about religion".

Sure it would save everyone a lot of bother, but consider the alternate universe where you didn't release your code at all. There's no original repo, no idling PRs, no forks, no "community".

Instead of having to figure out how an existing piece of code works, update deps and merge a couple of PRs myself, I instead have to recreate the entire functionality from scratch.

In our original world, where you did release the code, I still have the option of creating my own library (with the benefit of seeing your implementation!). So by releasing your code, you've given me strictly more options, and therefore made me better off, or at least no worse off.

Your example only demonstrates that you don't understand the difficulty in censoring content on social platforms as enormous as YouTube; not that Google don't have a policy that prohibits such content.

Indeed. I think IIT is a good theory... of something, just not exactly consciousness. Maybe a precondition to consciousness or something like that. But the thing that we think of as our consciousness is to me best explained by the "global workspace" theory, which says consciousness is the process of the various specialized parts of the mind, which are constantly working separately and in parallel, communicating their state to each other. It's like a boardroom for the society of mind, where at any point one subsystem has the podium (although there is lots of chatter and crosstalk as well). For most of us a part of the language subsystem (Gazzaniga's "interpreter") is also giving a running commentary (the internal monolog) of the information it's receiving from the other parts (with a lot of its own interpretation thrown in)... but this is not an essential feature of consciousness! We have a tendency to identify our consciousness with this commentary, but that is obviously incorrect. I think that the communication in this global workspace occurs in its own "language", a language internal to organic brains, capable of abstracting and reducing to its barest essence information from any of its components.

This view of consciousness is phenomenologically best aligned with most of the (admittedly limited) objective information we have about human conscious experience, and is consistent with the experience of various altered states of consciousness such as meditation or the use of entheogenic substances. It explains how consciousness is only a small part of what happens in our mind and why the nature of the subconscious (which is most of what actually happens in the brain) seems to be so hard to nail down. It also means that any being with a "mind" that has numerous independent and parallel processes that need to be coordinated has some measure of conscious experience, even invertebrates, and probably even living things whose information processing uses an entirely different infrastructure, such as plants. However, I can't see any way that this definition of consciousness could apply to an electron.

Edit: I think that the global workspace theory of consciousness can probably be mathematically described by IIT, but not just any integration of information results in something that deserves to be called consciouness. The information that's being integrated should be combination of perceptions (feedback from the environment) with some kind of memories of previous states, resulting in new memories and predictions, and the integration should happen through independent pre-processing of this information by relatively independent subsystems. This is still general enough to apply to nearly everything living, but I think it puts conscious experience at a higher level than merely integrating information.

They will be too busy arguing about systemd or similar rather than working on the UX so it will never happen. The Linux world seems to strive for perfection (despite everyone's idea of perfection being different) when they barely have the resources to do even a "good enough" solution.
Your reason -- respect for your readers, treating them as you wish to be treated yourself -- is the exact reason I started down this road. It took me a while to realise that there was this other, more subtle, benefit, too.

Microsoft seem to be particularly rubbish at this. For example, the Microsoft Store (when it works at all) does not acknowledge the idea that you might live in a non-English speaking country but speak English.

I don't think Huawei is going to be killed at all, the state will intervene if necessary. The newer Kirin chips are fabbed on TSMC 7nm as far as I am aware, so switching them back to some larger process isn't really possible in a practical sense. But Huawei will find a solution. I am far more concerned about the globel impact of such a nasty trade war. And anything harming TSMC will harm us all, as too many things depend on their 7nm process.
Add to that great voice and video calls.
As I've heard it, the alternative that drove the first hundred million users was the telco reading over your shoulder and/or randomly dropping your messages on the floor.

Google Antitrust Road Map Heads to DOJ with U.S. Suit Looming
I take your line of argument as meaning "there are no legitimate medium or long-term interests for countries, for societies or for humanity". Or, alternatively, "the pursuit of short-term interests will always result in long-term good outcomes."

I really don't agree.

Were I ungenerous, I could interpret "I see no reason to pay more so you can make money off the rest of us" as "If local conditions permit me to loot someone else's future for my own present benefit, I will do so."

Furthermore, "trade is always beneficial to both sides" is clearly false, unless you define trade as "that which is always beneficial to both sides."

(I agree as a matter of fact that free trade and free markets are in general the most effective way to allocate capital, decide prices, maximize the realized value of goods, and provide individual economic autonomy. I do not, however, see them as end-goals in and of themselves. I do not see them as infallible in fulfilling personal or human values. I do not see them as especially resistant to having their function subverted.)
Because the person calling the restaurant to place the order gets the correct price. Why isn't it detected and fixed then? Probably a mix of bureaucracy and undermotivated employees; the call center people don't really know or care if DD is making a loss on purpose or not, even if they know how much the final customer actually paid.
My alma mater, the University of Illinois, made a uniquely astute and prophetic move in 2017: it purchased a 3-year $60m policy to insure against a drop in Chinese student enrolment in case of a political or health event. They foresaw trouble and hubris from the current administration. Lo and behold...
WordPress (the self-hosting, WordPress.org flavour). Works like a charm. It's flexible, easy-to-use and performs very well on a mid-range virtual host. It's also reasonably secure if you apply common sense and best practices (e.g. use complex passwords) and don't install plugins indiscriminately.

There are plugins for every feature you could possibly need.

You admittedly have to put in some time for researching and comparing those and not fall for the temptation to install the first plugin you come across for a particular feature.
Max Extract Male Enhancement:[Upadate 2020]|Side Effect|Work|Cost and Buy?
What Is The Issue And What Can Remedy It?

The difficult that has driven the males into the deal of their relationship is unique and should be given a fix. Each individual that is here to peruse this more likely than not had a lot of mortification and afterward chose to receive in return. All things considered, this is guaranteed that subsequent to perusing this content there will be no mortification. The difficult that is talked of here is that the males are being bumbling in the bed and this has therefore caused them to get humiliated. The male body-outline has gotten feeble to play out the best in bed and experiences issues, for example, the absence of endurance, ED, discharge issues, littler size, and so on.

FD: I'm an iPhone user. (not a die-hard, but I haven't found a decent android I can get along with permanently).

Aside from the number of people (network effects) on WhatsApp, what does it have over something like telegram, signal or any of the other cross-platform messengers?

Devils advocate for a moment:

Signal is pretty consistent, for a "no frills" chat solution, the UX is worse but it is still consistent across platforms.

Telegram does everything WhatsApp does but "better", native desktop apps, voice calling is clearer, it still very consistent. You can even have "usernames"; the UX is clearly superior. But the security model is questionable.

And if the answer is: "but network effects", why not Facebook messenger? it has the same reach if not greater.

So, why WhatsApp?

(this is a genuine question, I'm not trolling).
Free ML/Data Science/Dev Interns
We launched a tech internship program linking PhDs and graduates with industry experience.
These interns are PhDs and CS graduates from top UK universities (Cambridge, Oxford, etc), hungry to learn. 40% Women, 60% BAME. They join our program for unpaid internships at companies, open-source projects or non-profits, in exchange for valuable practical experience. We give them targeted training before they start, so they're as productive as can be from day 1.
We created this program because of the gap between the education system (even if it’s a CS degree) and the tech industry - this gap is particularly big in the UK. We believe the best way to bridge that gap is to widely open up internships opportunities (Covid-19 is making it worse). This would truly transform many young talent’s careers and help them reach full potential.
It’s completely free. So if you’re interested in taking on interns (good for building your talent pipeline "try before you buy") and are open to mentor the next generation of tech talent, we’d love to have you as a host.

What happens when you don't own a phone?
Ok, but since it's a very real medical condition, why not lead with "I have Atypical Cystic Fibrosis, so I can't do X", instead of being all mysterious about it?

You can't really blame humans for being curious when you stoke but deliberately choose not to satisfy their curiosity.

I mean, HN specifically wants you to post "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity". I don't know about others, but my intellectual curiosity certainly isn't gratified when someone leads with "I have a condition" but then gets all squirrelly about what it is.

If you tell people what your condition is and they don't take it seriously, that's their problem. If you don't tell what it is, it might be "a mild fear of puppets" for all I know. Unfortunately there are people that make up medical conditions for themselves, so you can't really expect everyone to just automatically accept "I have this condition" as an excuse for any behavior. For example, I've taught a number of students that made up conditions for themselves right at the moment their homework was due.
This made me wonder: what if a restaurant puts a pain dough "pizza" for $30 on their menu?

Of course, no one would order it. But in this situation, an aggregator could offer it and the restaurant owner could take advantage of that.

It smells like fraud, except that every individual step seems legitimate (albeit weird). I'm pretty sure you're allowed to charge ridiculous prices for common goods if you so choose...
