I never said that teachers should make less than garbage collectors because they enjoy psychic income. These two jobs are not generally substitutable in the eyes of potential employees, since they are so different. Sorry if I gave the impression that any job that enjoys psychic income would pay less than any other job — certainly this is not true.

For example, college professors receive psychic income, but they make much more than garbage collectors. They make less than stock brokers, which is another career option available to people who can get PhDs, in general.
Well if we're splitting hairs, here, I think:

1. There's Christian cultural context regarding the phrase "God grant..." that is necessary to understand the prayer

2. To wit, when Christians use this phrase, it is both an exhortation to self-reliance and an honest admission of personal flaws that may sabotage the pursuit of self-reliance.

3. There is of course also the implication that the Christian theological tradition is the best way to achieve self-reliance in spite of character flaws.

My glib aside was meant to assert that 2. is in fact mostly orthogonal to 3.
Which was a year before gay marriage was legal in the USA. Queer eye is a show that was showcasing something that was not commonplace at the time. I don't think it's an argument that being gay was fashionable in the early 2000's unless you mean fashionable in the most literal way.

They can indeed censor, I think what the prior poster was saying is that if they choose to censor, their regulation changes.

> build better, more open grocery stores.

Not necessarily, no. Many grocery stores have a bit of a monopoly in certain areas. It may not be possible for competitors to replace them instantly.

And a lot of people would starve before perfect competition, which doesn't exist, comes around to eventually replacing them.
It's a serious pity they never boosted the external tanks into a safe orbit for future use as station modules.

Minority Report on Let’s Encrypt CAA Rechecking
Yeah, I do agree that crowd-hosting a piece of Archive.org on a distributed filesystem would be better. I say exactly that towards the end of my "Intro to the Internet Archiving world" talk here too:

I think they've thought about IPFS and BitTorrent in the past, but 50PB is a lot of data and they already have a few redundant backups around the world that are hard enough to manage as-is. Hopefully the latest round of lawsuits and public support pushes them more in the direction of letting the public help them with hosting.
Did you hard-wrap your text when you submitted your comment? If so, please don't do that.
It might be possible to be in a majority-Android friend group outside of North America, but not really here. iMessage is far too entrenched in the US for that to be possible.

You would presume incorrectly. iMessage extensions use native code + rendering. It is probably the main reason why these things aren’t available on macOS.
Sorry to hijack, but is anyone else getting a Netscape Navigator favicon when visiting the site? Nice throwback.
You can host websites from a spare computer at home. You can use Cloudflare's free CDN for serving cached responses. If your ISP does not provide static IP addresses, and you wish to use a custom domain then you will need to periodically update your domain's A Record to point to your current public ip (which can be automated).
Plus one on that. I had some issues with vim-wiki, and wiki.vim is lighter weight and supports my work stream more easily.
I don't understand why you got downvoted. Google's customer support is notoriously non-existent (perhaps except for stuff that brings in money like AdWords). They admit themselves that it's a business decision: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-support-staff-limits-139...

I wasn't referring to one specific graph.

The GPT-3 paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.14165.pdf) has a very large number of graphs showing parameter count on the horizontal axis and some kind of prediction quality metric on the vertical axis. Most of the interesting ones are in Appendix H.

"The point isn’t the performance at 175B, but the shape of the curve as it passes from 117M to 175B" was referring to a general point about how to interpret any/all of those graphs, not a particular one of them.

Definitely, I've been through all sorts of roles at all sorts of companies.

This was freelancing though; I had full freedom to do things my way, which is how I ended up working for two weeks to learn about their problems.

And I still prefer delivering food to working on the software. Thankfully, they're super happy with it and there's not much left to do.

My parents live in the rain forest in the mountains of Panama. They struggle with slow ADSL that goes to hell whenever moisture gets into the lines or it rains. It's the rainy season now, and you can imagine it rains often in the rain forest. Their internet is awful, we try to time or Skype calls for when it is not raining. They can boost the signal slightly by leaving their phone off the hook. Sometimes they tether with a weak signal on 3g. They are so eagerly awaiting the public availability of starlink.

I think in the cities of the developed world we don't realize how big this going to be for rural dwellers and people in the developing world.
I think you are misunderstanding the intention of the book.

When you see a book titled "Japanese for English speakers", what it means is that it builds on your knowledge of English to teach you Japanese, not that its goal is that you replace your usage of English with Japanese. Certainly, the book will not include a justification of how you can use Japanese to speak in London and New York as you can do with English, and probably it won't even bother explaining you why learning Japanese may be a good idea. And, yes, you probably could learn Chinese instead, but that is not the point.
Why aren't there symlinks for things standard linux directories, a bit like current-system in the user environment? Why go through the effort of patching the actual binary? Doesn't that cause enormous problems with signed stuff?

Edit: I assume you can't do it very well system-wide because individual packages might need conflicting versions. Okay. Has something like runtime injection been considered? What are the trade-offs here? (I think it's fairly obvious that I'm not very familiar with the whole matter yet).
> You have a fundamental right to food, not to have your opinions transmitted by others

At least in the US, it is the opposite.

There isn't a constitutional amendment protecting your rights regarding food. But there is a constitutional right related to your rights regarding speech.

Many people think that these rights regarding speech are pretty darn important. Possibly even the most important rights that a person can have.

So I would absolutely say that they are comparable, and that people's right regarding transmitting speech are possibly even more important than any other rights out there.
Same here - almost 40 - I was exposed to electronics at a very young age and that was an early catalyst into becoming a software developer.

Too often people argue for an all or nothing approach, when there's a good compromise in-between.

Parenting is complicated. There's thousands of books on the subject and probably thousands on the subject of electronic use for kids.

These comments telling the OP they can't change every website so "it's not worth trying" are not productive. There's nothing wrong with requesting this feature from Virus Cafe. Maybe it's something they were planning on doing anyway. You never know and it doesn't hurt to ask. What if the change is implemented and it becomes a web-design standard for other sites to adopt? Every idea starts somewhere and HN is a good platform for it to start in.
Is it though? Let's do the math:

Number of Facebook employees: about 45k. Let's say half of them work in the US (20k). Let's assume people tand to stay at a job for 5 years on average and think about leaving for 6 months before they leave. That means there are 2000 Facebook employees thinking about leaving right now.

Now, what is the probablity that if someone is already thinking about leaving they would take advantage of this situation? Let's give Facebook employees the benefit of the doubt and say that only 1% of them would do such a thing. That means we should expect to hear from about 20 Facebook emloyees making socal media and LinkedIn posts about them leaving Facebook citing policy as a reason while just taking advantage of the situation. Is it really far fetched to say that this guy could be one of them? If anything I would expect 19 more posts like this!
500 Error for me.
My purely technology oriented take on that is that telecom manufacturers had really embraced the idea “everything is IP over Ethernet” during the development of LTE and then during first deployments found out, that such approach does not realy work on real networks with mixed generations of both infrastructure and user terminals (this is the reason for existence of VoLTE). And on other hand everybody found out that “computer networking” hardware is commodity thing that is cheap.

So, Huawei knows that they need something which is not IP and tries to make hardware that supports it commodity product instead of niche telco weirdness by trying to push their thing as end-all solution to everything networking. In fact, from this PoV this is somewhat reminiscent of late 90's and ATM.
This is beautiful! I'm glad they got the job done - but also now I really want an Amiga watch: if you could make the casing look like an Amiga500 (or C64, or ZX Spectrum, or Apple //) I'd throw money at it!

> but that change can be ignore

No the changes _must_ be ignored. This is where the bug came from.

The code does store the flags, does an operation and then restores some flags while setting some new ones.

But after clang reorders the operations it will not restore the flags from _before_ the function calls but instead takes them from _after_ the function call.

I.e. any change `sqlite3VdbeMemRelease` does to `pMem` mutst be ignored but after reordering changes to `MEM_AffMask` `MEM_Subtype` are no longer ignored.
Ah, thanks. Looks like this only applies to symbol names, so the generated executable code should be deterministic, only symbol table entries might differ.

I think people who crave stability should purchase it with their own money (for example, by saving or buying some sort of employment insurance). Forcing businesses to fulfill their fantasies is a terrible idea both morally and economically. Even if you think everyone needs a big institutional daddy to care for them, simply paying unemployment benefits would likely work a lot better than penalizing the employers for adapting to changing conditions (effectively incentivizing them to keep unproductive employees).
FBI field office in Washington stated that they had no intelligence currently that Antifa was involved.. in the Washington area.. as of the 3rd of June, with the caveat that it was early and they were still looking at facts and investigating.

Yes, I read that headline too. It's important to read more than just the headline.

Man, your PR seems to suffer from corp speak and is something you would expect from a fortune 100 middle executive and not a recently launched startup. Dare to be human.
It is not mentioned because it is not relevant. The dead salmon experiment highlighted that some researchers were failing to correct for multiple comparisons sufficiently. This article is talking about the test-retest reliability of the fMRI measure in individuals.

edit: Instead of down voting, perhaps moderators might write how that experiment is actually relevant.
> Even if renewables come to generate the majority of our electricity, they need to be combined with so-called dispatchable power that can be switched on at any time.

There is plenty of lithium in the oceans — among other places — and no shortage of iron or phosphorus (ignoring agricultural use of P which is much larger), so that it is realistic to store weeks or months of energy in LiFePO4 batteries, even at a global scale. What we lack here is investment.
Thanks your answer! :)
I've had an e-mail address on my writing website for about a decade now. I get very little spam sent to it. The bulk of the spam I receive is to my oldest e-mail address which I had once upon a time used to post on usenet.
Just out of curiosity- when Google is infamous for hard-to-reach human support, what in the Internet would make anyone interested to register their domain with them? Do they provide some sort of security or insurance that I am unaware of?

All the popular dedicated domain registrars I have used so far have excellent human support. Godaddy, namecheap, namesilo to name a few. I don't know if big companies or corporate use something more to secure their domain names and DNS, do they?
Poor DB ... is there a crime they have not committed?
I had the privilege to ocasionally work with Holger Stark on similar structure determination challanges and can confirm that they really pushed the limits here thanks to very smart statistical methods. The resolution heavily depends on correctly sorting/classifying the large amount (> 10k for sure) images of these small particles.

There exists a race in the structural biology community about the next big method that allows to determine structures of proteins that were hard to crystalize and it seems that CryoEM is becoming the winner in this race.

As an alternative approach, people are building large X-ray lasers that have extremly high intensity and short pulse lengths which they plan to shoot at single particles and resolve individual scattering images. This method can very likely also achieve atomic resolution of non-crystaline particles, even without the need to freeze them down.

It will be exciting times for the whole bio-chemical physics community. Congrats to Holger and the team for another great publication in Nature.
To me this (and the other issues surrounding these apps) shows 2 things:

1. This sort of tracing app takes time and effort to develop and thus development cannot be left to the last minute when it is effectively too late. Governments' plans for epidemics should include having such app and all the necessary infrastructure ready and on standby at all times.

2. GDPR is not suited for emergency situations, but maybe there are legal ways around that, i.e. by passing legislation to remove GDPR's constraints as needed.
Ha, I did something very similar also with Gitlab and runners. I was always amazed at the new and creative ways students managed to break the autograders we wrote -- particularly for our BASH scripting assignments.

I was also never brave enough to have my autograders submit grades directly to Canvas after the first time I did it. I confidently had it directly submit grades the first week during the first year I implemented autograders. Half the class forgot a shebang on their shell script, and the autograder happily gave them a 0.

For bonus fun times: Gitlab's runner timeout is pretty much nonexistent if you're using the shell runner. It just won't kill them if they take too long, so I had to write our own management system for runners. Silly university IT not support containers :(
Probably because it was flagged to death.

I’m not sure if the word I’m looking for is ironic or pathetic, but there’s something <that word> about flagging a discussion on this topic.
This is a very brave and controversial stance of Apple to take. I shall be purchasing more of their brand.
After originally using vim-wiki, and then slowly progressing through a dozen or so personal wiki software tools ( all FOSS ), about a year ago I settled on Tiddlywiki.

It's also all self-contained within one folder, but I can stick it behind a server and access the files from wherever. Without having to rely on syncing tools like nextcloud.

Tiddlywiki is actively developed and has a healthy amount of plugins, including a mindmap like plugin.

The quantization to the image colorspace and depth is probably the limiting factor, moreso if dithering is used.
This point reveals an angle that is rarely recognized: what needs responding to is not the mass amount of speech that comes from automated bots, for automated bots won't listen to the response. What needs responding to is the people who listen to automated bots.

The concept of responding to speech with speech is focused on reason and debate between the speakers themselves. But with automated amplified speech, no debate can exist because, at the surface, there are not multiple human actors. And at a separate layer, those who listen to amplified automated speech can not be reasoned with or debated with, the opinions are not their own and if they were reasonable they wouldn't be listening to the automated speech to begin with.

Yeah that would be a great start. Sorry state of affairs in Canada and the US is that even when politicians run on a platform of election reform, they change their tune because the system worked for them. The excuse I hear most often is some form of the electorate being too stupid to navigate such a complicated system.
The project is public, but the repository is probably private. We can't see any of the code.
Seen a UPS truck? They paint the roof white so the driver/packages aren't roasted like a thanksgiving turkey. Put a solar panel up there. Engage a flywheel regen on downgrades where those trucks have to either downshift or burn their brakes up currently. There is a lot of innovation that can be done...the problem is that very little relative innovation is being done.
Yes, but battery vehicles are not that much heavier as ICE vehicles and the efficiency of the electric propulsion and the benefit of regeneration works very strongly in favor of the battery vehicles. While it is not released yet, the Tesla Semi even seems to make electric propulsion work for heavy semi trailers.
Ok, but just to be clear, we're redacting faces here. There isn't much meaningful here other than an exceptionally rough indication of age/development.

Am I the only one who's tired of these statements from corporations? I guess they're a relatively positive thing, but they feel so hollow. I got one from DoorDash yesterday, and it's tough not to roll my eyes at a company that has worked so hard to screw their drivers, many of whom are minorities, talk about how a food delivery service is fighting racism.

So basically a giant t-shirt cannon for compatible deliveries.

I can definitely agree with the theory behind it. Pair autonomous systems with delivery trucks and let them deliver easy packages (light weight, non-fragile) and let them deliver from the truck to harder addresses (long driveway, up a flight up steps in a breezeway) or deliver ahead.
