> I feel like I should say this in every post about this kind of topic.

Please don't. Just link to the actual paper which makes it clear.

For example:
Preprint version : https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.13161 (n.b. "Comments: Published online in Nature 27 May, 2020)

"census of baryons" (title) and "More than three quarters of the baryonic content of the Universe resides in a highly diffuse state that is difficult to observe, with only a small fraction directly observed in galaxies and galaxy clusters." (abstract's first sentence) gets the point across.

I don't know where "dark matter" got to you in the context of the linked article, but it certainly wasn't from the paper or its preprint. It wasn't even from the article linked at the top, which carefully and correctly says: 'Astronomy is full of missing stuff. Most of the universe is understood to be "dark matter" and "dark energy", which nobody has ever directly seen. But even more of a mystery for astronomers was that they couldn't find about half the ordinary matter in the universe.' Further down it says '"dark matter" [...] is undetectable using ordinary methods', which is a bit less careful, but reasonably correct.

> In the original definition

I doubt there is anyone who can actually submit to arXiv:astro-ph who would fail to distinguish baryonic matter from dark matter in the way you do.

> don't always count on it

Ok, there may be some on vixra.

Lastly:

> electron anti-neutrino

We should distinguish here by saying that electron anti-neutrinos are not cold dark matter, in the \Lambda-CDM sense, but otherwise are a very-low-mass form of weakly-interacting massive particle (WIMP). Electron neutrinos and their antis are so light that they are almost always ultra-relativistic (viz. https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/71874/ultrarelat... and https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Relativity/Book%3A_S... both of which will take you to deeper treatments), importantly including in the cosmological frame.

Cold dark matter is non-relativistic in the cosmological frame.

Hot dark matter like neutrinos (described 1934, detected 1956) was easily excluded as a significant part of the explanation for the observations detailed at Rubin, Ford & Thonnard (1980) https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1980ApJ...238..471R/abstra... : neutrinos shine out of galaxies and don't linger at the edges of them, or deep in galaxy clusters, very much like electromagnetic radiation shines away rather than lingering.

I keep hearing this meme that Kubernetes made it hard for Docker to monetize Swarm. But as far as I can tell, Swarm is free and open-source. Docker has never actually charged money for it. What am I missing?
At least for my use case, I haven't really noticed anything missing from podman-compose when I dumped docker-compose for it.

I think ideally they want you to use kube XML for this use case, though I haven't because it doesn't let me associate a named volume with a set of containers. The suggestion is to use bind mounts to the host instead, which feels like an issue for container portability. Podman Compose does not have this limitation
The "moving target" problem is significant for countries (or geographic regions in the case of large countries or open borders). However, for an individual company, it is a tragedy of the commons situation.

Why should a company A pay more to train a bottom tier worker into a high tier worker, when said worker will then be able to move to company B who offshore's its low tier workers. In effect, company A is subsidizing company B's training program.
Lets see everyones release schedules so far this year. And this is with your A-team.

> You have replaced the actual recommendations and public orders with a call for complete removal of bodily autonomy even though this was never the case.

Scientists do not put out orders, that is the job of politicians. Science can only tell you, if you this you run the risk of that. A proper scientist would tell you the only way to avoid being infected or infecting others is to be chained into place.

> Has anyone said, "We want to eliminate all risks"?

People won’t say ‘we want to eliminate all risks’ but if the consequences are presented as being scary enough, they will take any action to avoid them, which factually is the same thing. Concretely many people want to ‘shelter in place’ until there is no more risk they can be infected and a lot of these people want everyone else to do that as well.

It is the job of politicians to evaluate these risks properly and for that they need to listen to both medical scientists, like epidemiologists, so they know what risks they can avoid using their orders, but also economists so they know what costs they incur by these orders.

It should be clear that if they do not do this properly the result can be taking measures that are unsustainable or incur new, worse risks.

> Has anyone said, "Hanson must not be allowed to speak"?

> But by all means, let's all presume that an economist like Robin Hanson [...] has somehow come up with an idea that has escaped the notice of that entire segment of the population dedicated to human health.

If Robin Hanson speaks he must be ridiculed because what could he possibly have to bring to the table that no one has thought of before (and then I even cut out the vague insinuations about his motives).

But anyway I have no idea who he is and did not refer to him in my comment. My only point is that if you immediately dismiss the input of economists and others outside medical science, you’re only looking at one side of the story and are bound to take poor decisions.

It was rumored Msft wanted to acquire Docker for 3-5b, but was turned down by docker. It was understandable after they enjoyed the overnight success (there is rarely a better example than docker when talking about overnight success).

In the end, they underestimate how complex is the market and how limited is their expertise. Retrospectively, Diane Green's move to sell VMware, actually more likely gave the firm a long shelf life, in contrary to Docker.

In my leisure time, I started ab article why docker is destined to fail as an independent entity, but sorry no time for writing while incubating a start-up...

My subjective experience is that boot camp grads are not as successful in the interview and job acquisition process.

I think your Wallet.pay(amount) example argues for a different conclusion than you arrive at.

I have a Wallet with $500 in it. I call Wallet.pay(100). In your approach, it returns a new Wallet with $400 in it. But I also still have the old, unmutated Wallet with $500 in it, which could be referred to by mistake (or by malice). That's probably not the best argument for immutable objects...

RedShift User Activity Log in Specturm with Glue Grok
It may surprise you, but often not. Software development is a broad and diverse field and other people may have different background from you. Some are people of color, some are women, some have kids. Some haven't ever seen any Star Wars movies. Shocking, I know. Some have hobbies that don't involve modern technology at all, eg woodworking. One of my friends doesn't even have a TV. Most of them aren't super into video games. Personally after staring at a screen all day for work the last thing I want to do is stare at another afterwards.

Thus, I have an ancient laptop and the couch or the kitchen table to use in a pinch, but that's gonna cause injuries if used long-term. I've been adapting, as we all have, since going WFH, but I've had to buy things in order to make it comparable to my office, where I have dual 24" screens, and a setup that's comfortable to be at for extended periods.
This makes a lot of sense to me.

Most of Docker's products are being superseded by other tools in the linux/enterprise world (buildah, podman, kubernets, etc), but the one area I think Docker still provides actual value to the industry is their Windows Docker distribution. I'm a developer running linux on a team filled with Windows users, and the fact that we can all share dockerfiles is a big benefit. Without docker there's a good chance I'd have to switch to windows or just find a new job.

Strange as it seems, I think the industry is moving such that soon enough most actual Docker users will be on Windows anyways. So why not just embrace that?

> Further, mail-in ballots don't tend to lean toward one party or the other at present, so claiming that it's an attempt at Democrat voter suppression is disingenuous.

No, claiming it would be effective Democratic voter suppression might be inaccurate (though the issue isn't “who votes more by mail”, but “who votes by mail that would not vote if only allowed to vote in-person”, which are not equivalent questions, so the fact you relate doesn't even make that weaker case.)

But that the motivation is partisan (whatever the evidence is about the likely effects) comes straight from the horse's mouth:
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/08/trump-voting-by-mai...

It's not disingenuous to suggest an actor has a nefarious motive when the actor explicitly announces that motive, even if there might be evidence that the act taken would not realize the motivating goal.
PinePhone Software Releases
I'm confused. Perhaps you could clarify how honing your skills to be valuable as a remote worker is somehow the gateway to the rich eating all of us.

My personal experience with remote work is that it allows me to be present as a father in my children's lives and also to be more productive. I'm not saying everyone will have that experience, but for me it's an excellent fit.

As far as productivity, if we look at productivity increases since 1950, we should be working half as much for the same productivity/pay (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20766443). With voices like Andrew Yang trying to shift social values to valuing the underappreciated like stay-at-home mothers through a UBI, this seems like a positive path forward.

I know things seem dark right now, but in my powerless position, I choose to believe there is a better, more positive path forward, and I put my energy into pursuing it.

Frankly, I've never met a rich guy whose nose I couldn't bloody. I've rarely met one whose spirit I couldn't cut deeply in less than 15 minutes of conversation.

Paul Krugman Is Pretty Upbeat About the Economy
I use constantly Docker in my job and projects yes.
Yet, I do not believe and advocates it gets rid of the complexity.

According to the user needs, your dockerized application will run with different base distro. Alpine and musl for small OS footprint ? Or Debia(or debian-slim) for glibc compatibility ?

Those concerns are the same with or without Docker. Docker makes things easy, just not those things because it is not its purpose.

I've had this idea for a long time but haven't gotten to actually doing it, to create a physical dashboard for production services using that aesthetic. Controlled by some Raspberry Pi or something, exposing an API, so I can hook it to real dashboard data for my work.

With the API you bridge it to something like Grafana etc, to make the gauges and lights go, and for bonus points have some buttons do things like silence alerts, a big red button to roll back a deployment, and a missile-launch like button with a key you need to turn to deploy to production.

The closest thing I've found on eBay that could be used as a base and was somewhat similar in design, was the control panel of a Soviet tank. But I think it will just have to be made from scratch using bought gauges and buttons.

I wonder about that. I don't know word well enough at all to accomplish the same things I do in latex. But I know it can do a lot of those things.

I assume it would be similar if I knew as much about word as I do about latex. But there's no way of knowing, as I am not going to learn word without a much better reason than "i wonder if it's actually terrible to write 150 pages when you know how to use it."

His true base is getting smaller every day; I have a bunch of friends in the midwest and many of them have reported that even the folks they knew who were huge Trump supporters have decided he's crossed too many lines (specifically, disrespecting the military, the covid press briefings, attacking people unnecessarily, and not actually helping working people) and plan to simply not vote in the presidential election (rather than voting for biden). I was struck at how many of my friends reported this rapid shift over the past few months.
The page I linked above doesn't mention DuckDuckHack. Are you quoting that from a different source? It does mention DuckDuckBot which is their own web crawler.

That's now how it works though. You're going to make half what an American makes but have the same expenses. So basically you're broke, struggling to maintain abroad while being chained along with the promise of a green card.

When year 4/5 rolls around and it becomes time to pay the green card piper, they just fire you instead because legal paperwork is expensive and everything you struggled to build for yourself in America is instantly gone. Want that green card? Start the process over, 5 more years of indentured slavery.

It's not sustainable for anyone. I'd prefer they pay you what Americans make if they're going to ask you to live and work in America.

Nothing made this as clear for me as using the Nim language, where functions defined as

proc doThing(x: MyObject; value: string)

can be called both with

doThing(x, y)

and with

x.doThing(y)

where x by itself is 'just' a data object, but is treated transparently by the language as having associated functions, setters, getters, etc as if it were a class (even though they can all also be directly called separately).

It's an approach that I find really elegant and that I wish more languages used in some way.
I just published a video presentation about simulating an epidemic using 4 capacitors and 3 current sources. I analyze the pandemic as a feedback control system from an engineering perspective, and show something surprising: the shape of the policy frontier is concave down, like an inverted parabola, so that in one region of the curve, it’s not a zero-sum game. It’s optimal to both save lives and save the economy at the same time. This is counterintuitive, but comes right out of the circuit model.

I think this is newsworthy because this model directly contradicts the mass media narrative that there is inherently a tradeoff between the two.

Curious to hear what you think.

Again, there's a difference between "outsourcing worthy" and "can reliably outsourced for enough cost savings for the whole thing to not be ROI negative". And, that's my point. Companies going remote doesn't magically jump start geographic labor arbitrage from zero. That geographic labor arbitrage has been ongoing for a long time.

Ask HN: I'm confused by my success given how horrible a student I was in college
Hi everyone,

It goes without saying that I was never a hugely academic person. To that point I took a year off to work in SV my junior year of college but later decided to finish my CS degree, barely.

I've been able to navigate my career in ways that I cannot regret though, comprising of multiple strong internships at tech startups in Boston, about a year at Amazon (turned out to be a horrible culture fit) and now at a blistering fintech startup in New York.

If I was to base my ability and "potential" for success on my academic record in college, repeating classes and graduating with a 2.9 GPA it seems like I'd only be slated for QA work? I should add that I was diagnosed by three different psychs and one neuro-psych with ADD Inattentive Type at 22 (great timing).

Does anyone else struggle with the guilt of their poor academic past shadowing their current success and improvement? If so, what do you think changed in your perspective / approach to self study?

Thanks everyone, stay healthy :-)

This is HN. So you're likely to get a bunch of "no"s.

I'm not sure if you should embrace them outright, but I think it's useful to recognize there are some situations where they are more benefits than disbenefits.

I care about privacy, but for me, I'm willing to accept a certain tradeoff between privacy and utility. Voice assistants are genuinely useful for hands-free operations.

When I'm driving, I ask Siri to play specific playlists or podcasts, to turn the volume up, weather, navigate to this or that place. I take the issue of distracted driving very seriously so I try to never touch my phone while my vehicle is in motion. Siri is helpful in these situations.

At home, I only ask Alexa a couple of things: "weather", "set timer for 5 minutes" (for when I'm cooking and my hands are wet), "connect bluetooth", "play brown noise". I rarely deviate from these requests. But YMMV.
