I don't get it. Do you believe that by oversimplifying the conversation you're going to actually solve problems? Do you think it's helpful? Or is the problem less worthy than venting your frustrations (and in the latter case, are the frustrations legitimate or simply a product of the aforementioned media misinformation)?
The mods would ban opposing views and leave hateful, violent, and racist views. Its not complicated.
Most people aren't good at assessing their own fatigue. A sleep study gives one quantifiable information about the quality of one's sleep.

So may people find their CPAP uncomfortable when they first use it, that it's unlikely they'll use it properly. Having a first use under the watchful eyes of a physician could be a good idea.

Then again, some people also get one and then don't use it, so maybe it's more of the same.
I'm a libertarian socialist/communist (aka rabid leftist) and even I am often annoyed by how much of a "liberal" (whatever that means anymore) echo chamber reddit is.

People who have great points against the hive mind are often downvoted into oblivion. It's less of a place for discourse and more a place for voicing agreement. The worst experiences I've had are in the socialist/communist subreddits themselves. I've been banned from those places for saying things like "artists and homemakers are proletariat." I guess if you don't have a hammer in your hand you're just a neo-liberal reactionary??

And sure, T_D is a violent cesspool that should have been gone long ago, but in general I'm sick of social media platforms deciding for us what views are acceptable and what aren't. Their algorithms constantly guide people into weird places that drive engagement but at the expense of critical thought and real public discourse.

I'd much prefer free speech and neutral platforms over corporations deciding what we are to believe. But I suppose reddit's problems are now cultural and that's a more difficult problem to fix than adjusting an algorithm.
As a middle ranked amateur league shooter (APA) and someone who shoots in pool halls and bars a lot, this website is INVALUABLE towards removing the unprofessional and not true witchcraft tips people give. Once you get into the slow motion of videos, or for example the same author tested a slew of other variables people to claim make a difference, he concludes that many of these things are just not proven and not true. Example is: what chalk to use on a shot. He tests and find it does not matter, as long as one applies chalk correctly before each shot (should be second nature). Pool is a game mostly taught by more experienced players to less, and so a lot of things are wrong or passed down incorrectly. Sometimes even people will be correct, but for the wrong reasons.

Slo-Mo shots are great for explaining things like "double taps". That's when your cue contacts the cue ball twice while following through. It happens in situations where you are followng through into an object ball at a close distance, and so the cue ball bounces back into the cue while the cue is moving forward, giving two taps. this is an illegal move and results in a foul in most play besides casual bar rules. Showing someone in slow motion, it makes a lot of sense.

Yeah! How dare they refuse to deplatform 40-60% of the population after they've been thoroughly slandered and misrepresented as white supremacists!

This kind of treatment is breeding so called white supremacy. You are forcing people to choose between "us" and "them". White supremacy is the modern day red scare - except this time the people being targeted are average middle class joes and they probably still represent the majority in this country.
That's one of those typical US healthcare problems you think you're so great for. For example in Europe, medical professionals are free to seek work in any member country [0]. Although definitely not perfect due to "EU membership", it's still pretty valuable (and logical, common sense, etc) when we're talking about healthcare providers. Also note, that while a lot or most of European nurses will of course speak English, only 2 of the member countries are English natives, yet that's still doesn't seem to be that much of an issue. The entire US healthcare system is just basically a capitalistic shitshow which everybody in the planet knows except for most of you guys apparently.

That's where I'm at (small improvements, minding Chesterton's fence) and I hope someday someone will stop listening to big French-capitalism-style conglomerates that are always trying to bring new laws, new contract types, to reform it all to make it more American, or German, or Danish... and start listening a bit more to SMEs. Of all kinds.

And I also think part of the problem is overzealous government orgs, who I'm sure take their job very seriously, but are not encouraged to think mistakes are made with no intent to cheat, by default.

I liked the idea of a 'by default we think you made a mistake, our laws and procedures are too complex, let's settle this without penalty, with a generous paiement plan... let's wait a bit before we punish you'... I don't know...
Both Jira and Trello allow ordering, how does this differ?
They're both critical. If you only have one, the other will be less effective (lean muscle loss versus fat gain when sleep deprived, a diet that disrupts sleep, sleep onset latency when there's no exercise) and/or more risky (increased injury risk when sleep deprived).

Although, I wonder _if_ the false dichotomy were entertained, what will contribute to quantity and quality of life more.
Why do people always look for hard and fast rules? If it's your business you can do what you want. No one's obligating you to do anything. In this case Slack's employees felt as though it's unethical. That's totally within their rights to do.

It's interesting how sexual harassment has long-term implications for one's career. You're a VC partner who is sexually harassed by another partner, as a consequence you get pushed out, as a consequence you're forced to take a position at a failing company, as a consequence you're forced to take the role of the fall guy by the failing company's founders, and as a consequence your career in tech is over. It's remarkable how much shit Ellen Pao had to take just for speaking out about sexual harassment at Kleiner Perkins.
I thought the whole point about "unlawful combatants" is that the concept does not exist in international law. It's just something that the US government made up as a bad excuse for ignoring international law.

I only managed 40 years programming before I "got retired" by the company I worked for. I was past my full Social Security entitlement age so I could have voluntarily retired but I wasn't ready. They felt they could hire a couple of younger people for what they were paying me. That was true, but they lost a lot of experience that will cost them more dollars than their salaries!
> I agree that it is a less-than-ideal time to protest police brutality and racial injustice. However, I'd argue still - when is?

I'm not trying to say that people shouldn't protest. I'm only pointing out that a lot of people who are very pro police brutality protests right now were 5 minutes ago saying that protesting lock downs and going out is tantamount to murdering grandma.

> Minorities are also disproportionately impacted by the pandemic...

Is there any evidence that this is a result of racism? We are seeing the same elevated impact on blacks in other countries.

> The people protesting the lock-downs appeared to largely be protesting lifestyle inconvenience

It's more of protesting the government destroying peoples' livelihoods by driving their small businesses into the ground. Moreover, it is an unconstitutional overreach.

The only thing I can think of is running out of virtual disk space because the storage JS API quota is filled. But I would assume PKSFX calculates the CRC based on the in-memory decompressed stream, not a read-back copy of what's written. Or it would print some sort of "out of disk space" error, but maybe dosbox does not have that.

So I wonder if there is a sneaky data corruption bug hiding in the iOS version of Safari's JS/JIT engine here..? If the .zip file embedded in the PKSFX INSTALL.EXE was incomplete, then I would think it would fail early with a missing end-of-archive TOC?

> When people scream “this is a bug”, it is irrelevant what it is caused by. It is a scream of a significant expectation mismatch. The team should work on resolving it, regardless of whether it was caused by a developer diverging from the designed intent or because of the original intent going wrong.

As a user, it's extremely relevant to me. I paid for your product/service because of what it claimed to do. Bugs are ways in which it doesn't do that. (It doesn't matter to me if some other hypothetical features don't exist yet, because I was happy to pay for the product/service knowing it didn't have those features.) As far as I'm concerned, a bug is your company not holding up your end of the bargain, even though I've held up my end by paying for it. That's not a good look.

Another way to look at it is that a bug is downtime for a feature. Elsewhere, you say (system) downtime should be #1, "top priority of everyone" until it's fixed. But what good is the system being 'up' if it's still broken in the way that I need? When I lose power at home, it's no consolation to hear "The power grid as a whole is still up -- it's just your neighborhood that's not working", nor would I consider this reasonable justification for de-prioritizing fixing it.

Maybe your company is at the stage where attracting new users with features is more important than keeping existing customers with quality. But they say it's always easier to keep customers than it is to acquire new ones, and I've blackballed several companies because they no longer place the priority on quality that they once did. You should be aware of what you're giving up by de-prioritizing 'bugs', or pretending they don't exist. I see comments here on HN every day complaining about specific companies whose software quality suffers. It takes years to dig yourself out of that hole.

As far as I'm aware, and I'd certainly welcome any information otherwise, super-spreader events are unpredictably random. Coupled with the incubation period, that still sounds like another wave.
Ok. Haha. That was my thought as well.

Agreed about his early black-and-white work, but I'm also familiar enough with his masterful use of color in films like "Ran" and "Kagemusha" that this doesn't surprise me. Kurosawa really was a genius.

The YouTube channel Every Frame a Painting has an entire episode dedicated to Kurosawa's use of motion in his films. It's fascinating. I have to say that frames from even his earlier films look like paintings to me.
Maybe the end representation is quite basic but I still think it’s a feat of programming to take a bunch of constraints and turn it into a representation that dynamically satisfies those constraints.

Job Simulator is one of my favorite VR games, and is the one I most often show as demo.

>Also keep in mind that many critical FOSS projects aren't big. Many are one-man shows.

Absolutely. That's why the Core Infrastructure Initiative was created a few years ago for example. While I haven't made an exhaustive study, my sense is that the situation is at least better today than it was a few years ago, especially with respect to security issues. Though always more work to do to support developers working on critical infrastructure of course.

Yes, there is a long tail on projects like the Linux kernel. But a lot of that long tail doesn't individually do a lot of work. And, according to the seemingly latest Kernel development report that I have: "Well over 85 percent of all kernel development is demonstrably done by developers who are being paid for their work."

If you can do anything to fix your sleep now, immediately, it should be done. Poor sleep is arguably the worst possible thing you can inflict on your body. It has direct links to virtually every major disease and ill health outcome, including cancer, alzheimer's disease, every major mental health disorder, heart disease, increased risk of physical injuries, decreased metabolism... The list continues.

You should absolutely get your diet under control and build a consistent exercise routine in the long run. But both of those things will be very hard to do without the proper dose of high quality sleep every night. Without proper sleep you'll be fighting your own body every step of the way. Every positive health outcome gets harder to achieve without sleep, not easier.
It’s easy to take a statistical summary of two groups, and discover that attribute X has some distribution for one group, and another for the other. But figuring out why requires much more effort.

In order to say something is genetic, you need to rule out confounding factors that apply. For example, twin studies attempt to reduce the effects of upbringing (cultural influences, home stability, access to education and other opportunity). This is effective in things like trying to determine whether there may be a genetic component to homosexuality - for example, there’s a statistically significant likelihood (that doesn’t exist for non-twin siblings) that if one twin is gay, the other one is.

However, you can’t aggregate twin studies of one group (“white people”) and another group (“black people”), since you’re not getting around the underlying confounding factors. So, while such twin studies do find that genetics play a role in academic performance (since if one twin does well, the other is statistically significantly more likely to do well too), it isn’t helpful as a mechanism here.

Anyway, jumping to genetics for things that have clearly more local causes is at best lazy. I don’t doubt there’s some genetic factors out there, but we don’t have an easy way to untangle them from other factors.

But we do have several different studies that show a connection between family income and academic performance (even at the same school), parental education levels and academic performance (ie, generational effects), class sizes (in early education) and academic performance, teacher quality, school funding, and so forth.
Ahhh, this pulls at my heartstrings.

I always loved the window-simulator genre [1] of flash games as a kid, and it's no exaggeration to say that windows spoofs made me the person I am today. I wanted to make my own so badly that in middle school, I saved up to buy a student edition of Flash CS3 and spent a few years building "Window Doors" [2], which I'm proud to say was one of the most fully-featured windows spoofs of its time. Ten years later I have a cs/math degree, all thanks to the kind people on the Newgrounds BBS who were kind enough to put up with middle-school-me.

Chargers are only small poles, not that big.
And you do not need to pack the street full of chargers.

Just pust a few chargers that each charge two cars and reserve the the spots for electrical cars.
When electrical cars get numerous add an hourly fee to motivate owners to move their cars when full charged.

This is how it looks at my place in Copenhagen: two charging stations each serving two cars.

https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=55.70679767500985&lng=12....

But I also think charging at petrol stations make sense.
When considering buying an electric car, at least if the family only have one car, it is a big issue if it can be used on long trips, even if you only do them a few times a year.

And if you are driving to Italy doing 90+ miles/h on the German highways then you will need to charge you vehicle several times. And you will not have time to get off the highway every time. But a 20 minute toilet and coffee break is acceptable.

To tackle this, I highly recommend the percentile technique from MIT paper, "A Structured Approach to Strategic Decisions". [1]

If you are judging any dimension, say priority, then assigning percentile rating to a task (i.e where does this given task stand relative to all the others) can be quite helpful to overcome the "SuperEvenMoreImportantEmergencyBugfix" cases. This is what the article is also suggesting.

And if you end up assigning 90% percentile to more than 50% of the tasks, you know your judgement is wrong, and it can be corrected accordingly. And it can also be standardized much better across the organization. Everyone can now judge their own judgements.

Rating on multiple dimensions with low correlations important for your company, say signup rate, retention, security, etc. and adding them up is a good way to not miss something important. It's not important to assign weights. Equal weights is fine [2]

I'm finding this technique quite useful in deciding what to work on next with fewer doubts about their priority. I failed to make Trello work for this and use a spreadsheet.

Coming from a country where police has been rendered completely toothless by the same policies some people in this country are trying to promote which led to literally lawless areas, I am completely against this movement that's currently for some reason trying to demonize cops.

I do not care if you're black, white, asian, gay, lesbian or anything - if you break the law, threaten a police officer, or simply ask completely irresponsibly around them, you should be punished appropriately.

What I DO agree with is perhaps greater transparency from the police. This is a problem that can be fixed. Anyone wishing to defund or even abolish the police clearly has lived a coddled life for way too long and doesn't know what happens when police can't do their jobs.

Be smart and don't let poisonous politics cloud your judgement - police are nowhere near as bad as some media would love to make you believe.
Some very interesting points.

I would like to say that the hardware is a bit of a mess as well. There are weird redundant bits of legacy hardware that aren't required any more, but nobody's bothered to remove them from the system (appendix, wisdom teeth). There are oddly paired systems (genitals combine waste removal with reproduction; the nose combines air filtering with scent detection; the mouth combines food intake and air intake/outlet). And oddly co-dependent systems (lose your sense of smell and your sense of taste takes a significant hit).

Well, not every eligible voter voted, and Trump lost the popular vote. The electoral college works in such a manner that the national popular vote doesn't matter, and a minority can elect a president. In fact, a conservative has only once won the national popular vote for President since 1988, and that was Bush in 2004.

The Senate holds a conservative majority because it's structured to represent land rather than people, and conservatives are occasionally able to take the House because they use districting to deprive the majority of voters of the majority of representation.
That ticket comparison idea is awesome. You could have it for one person, or do it democratically.

I bet there'd be circular comparisons (A>B>C>A) a surprising amount of the time. Not a huge deal, you could just show the pairings back again in a different order until they resolve.
In my experience, it stays on.
