You probably never heard about it, but there is a religious believe that when the earth was still a Paradise (right after Creation of mankind), people could actually hear beautiful music coming from the stars!

This was made possible by the (now gone, but present before the Flood) layer of extremely cold and perfectly solid ice around our planet, which also filtered out UV light (which is well known to be one of the causes of ageing).
Yeah, me too. If it wasn't explained in the discussion, I wouldn't click on it. (Maybe HN needs some tags.)

But I am actually glad it's about Haskell, I am a gonna read it now (and it's refreshing to see it being written by woman).

I don't mind the movie references, I don't think it's sexist. (Quite the opposite, I think standard mathematical writing is too dry and benefits from having an unrelated theme to add a bit of spice.)

Current reality is hard for everyone. When men behave like men, some women complain, when women behave like women, some men complain, it's really hard to please everyone. Take it easy, everyone.

"Advanced DnD" is probably one of the best episodes out there, shame they pulled it.

Also, to echo some other comments here, Community gets plenty of its humour from racism towards black people.

* Pierce thinks Shirley is Troy's mum because they're both black

* Shirley thinks Troy can't swim to which he replies "uh, I can swim, racist"

* Pierce's Halloween story where Troy + Abed play some stereotypical hood characters which Pierce defeats by punching them with his penis.

* Pierce assumes Shirley's ex-husband is a waiter because he's black.

Community also makes fun of other races:

* It implies there's no difference between Chinese and Koreans (Chang goes "Oh, like there's a difference?")

* Pierce's dad wears a wig made out of pure ivory due to wanting to maintain "true follicular purity". Regular wigs are "made from the hair of godless Orientals".

* "Swedish dogs! Your blood is tainted by generations of race-mixing with Laplanders. You're basically Finns".

* Shirley casually says about Arabs: "They're not as understanding as Christians. You could get your head cut off with a salami sword."

* https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/iubycnhccu...

Community also has (plenty of) gay jokes. They also make fun of Fat Neil and body shame him to the point of tears. They also have a romantic subplot involving Jeff a 40yo lawyer and Annie an 18yo student. They also constantly make fun of the Dean's sexuality.

Community makes fun of so many minorities and has lots of racy jokes, why is Chang cosplaying a Dark Elf reason to pull an episode?

I mean, I get Netflix are trying to cover their ass, but it seems counterproductive and sends the wrong message.
Your comment resonated strongly with me, for I am also a researcher who finds zotero and dropbox to be a very helpful combination. (I use dropbox to store PDFs of documents, rather than using zotero, because I already pay for dropbox and basically want to avoid the paperwork of yet another bill.)

However, I do not use zotero notes much at all (apart from taking notes on bibliographic elements), and so I am hoping you might write some more about the mechanics of how you do that.

I am particularly interested in how you handle cross-references. I tend to use markdown and wiki approaches, because they make it easy to have inline cross-references to other documents. Is there a way to do that with zotero notes, other than using the "Related:" and "Tags:" items at the bottom of a note?

Also, do you have hints on organizing folders of notes?

Since you've been doing this for years, I can bet that you have some great advice, and I hope you can spare the time to explain your procedures in a bit more detail.

Thanks.

Different Types of PPC Automation and When to Use Them
If you enjoy science fiction, one of the better recent SCPs was about dark matter:

http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-4170

SCP is a world-building collaborative creating-writing project, focused on sci-fi cosmic horror. Each entry is standalone, though there is also some canon which contributors are encouraged to follow.

SCP-4170 was generally received as a positive entry, though I read it as being far more sinister.

Miriam: [Request to still be taken seriously]
Scott did not doxx the journalist. He encouraged people to send polite and appropriate feedback to NYT editors-- so it makes sense that this is getting their attention.
When I was 28, I presented with terrible TMJ pain. Turns out my sleep apnea led to grinding my teeth at night, putting horrible strain on my TMJ all night. Got a mandibular advancement device (MAD) and fixed both issues in like day. Changed my life, slept great, felt great. But, these devices only work for 8-10 years before your jaw permanently changes and your bite starts misaligning toward underbite. So I slowly transitioned over to CPAP when I felt my teeth were no longer snapping back into place in the morning. After 3 years of CPAP and no MAD, my jaw is 95% back to normal. So keep that in mind. I'd also recommend getting a back-up dental appliance in case yours breaks, or learning how to use CPAP now while you don't need it. Some of the worst stress of my life was when my MAD broke and it took months to get a new one...ugh, I still have latent traumatic responses thinking about that point in my life. I had moved jobs and insurance so finding someone who would do it required significant searching. Medical insurance hates paying for MADs, you gotta make sure you have a solid TMJ disorder diagnosis from an MD and then find a dentist that will do it.

Disclaimer: I work for AWS Professional Services but I just started. All of my experience comes from working at outside companies.

From the perspective of an outside, boots on the ground Developer/architect, I’ve never worried about “vendor lock in”, I believe you should choose your infrastructure wisely and go all in. But, I do worry about “Lambda lock-in” for APIs. I like the optionality of being able to deploy my APIs anywhere just by changing the CI/CD pipeline.

That’s why I recommend using proxy integration. Every language supported by Lambda has a method to just throw your standard API in lambda without tying yourself to it.

There was a similar discussion in another thread, someone pointed to the
piekniewski.info blog and I found that article that I think is spot-on (though
I don't like the blog overall because it seems to have a real bone to pick).

Scientific progress is marked by hypotheses that explain observations and
generate predictions that can then be verified (or falsified) by new
observations. Machine learning research has produced scant few such verifiable
hypotheses in its very long history. To a great extent the same goes for the
entire field of AI. I quote from John McCarthy's article on the Lighthill
Report [1]:

Much work in AI has the "look ma, no hands" disease. Someone programs a
computer to do something no computer has done before and writes a paper
pointing out that the computer did it. The paper is not directed to the
identification and study of intellectual mechanisms and often contains no
coherent account of how the program works at all. As an example, consider that
the SIGART Newseletter prints the scores of the games in the ACM Computer
Chess Tournament just as though the programs were human players and their
innards were innacessible. We need to know why one program missed the right
move in a position - what was it thinking about all that time? We also need an
analysis of what class of positions the particular one belonged to and how a
future program might recognize this class and play better".

McCarthy wrote that in 1974. The criticism is every bit as valid today as it
was back then. Machine learning and AI research remains an endeavour that is
rarely and only incidentally scientific. Despite 70 years of AI research and
the recent amazement at the "progress" in machine learning (a "progress" only
in the context of the field's own measures of progress) we have learned very,
very little from AI research that we didn't know already. Big machines
can compute big programs. So, what?

[1] The quote is from McCarthy's review of the Lighthill report. The review was
published in the journal Artificial Intelligence Vol. 5, No. 3, 1974. A pdf
copy is here:

jmc.stanford.edu/artificial-intelligence/reviews/lighthill.html

McCarthy is best known to computer scientists as the father of Lisp but he
is also one of the founders of AI and the man who named it. The Lighthill
Report was a report by James Lighthill on the progress of AI research,
commissionned by the UK government and published in 1973. It was extremely
negative and caused AI funding to freeze for years, thus bringing on the first
"AI winter" and bascially killing Good, Old-Fashioned, logic-based AI.

The efficient 3 pool data backup strategy you need to know
> In fact, Plaintiff’s complaint is devoid of any allegation as to what specific “confidential information” Plaintiff believes that Xu used to start Nreal or to create and promote the Nreal Light. In the absence of any specific allegation, the Complaint conclusorily recites the “breach” element of Plaintiff’s breach of contract claim, which is inadequate to state a claim for breach of contract.

Whilst the court upheld that the contract on intellectual property was sound, it looks like Magic Leap was completely unable to say how the IP was even used in Nreal.

> Although Plaintiff need not spell out the exact details of Plaintiff’s confidential designs in order to adequately plead breach, Plaintiff must do more than simply state that Xu breached the confidentiality agreement by disclosing confidential information.

It seems like Magic Leap were hoping to prove the assertion all based on discovery, but discovery is not a fishing expedition - you need to have actual evidence and not just aspersions. Though, the court has given them room to amend their claims and try again, so this might not be over - though they only have 30 days to get their paperwork in better order than it has been so far.
I think there is a dichotomy here, one is rules, the other is ethics, both are different discussions.

For instance, can an ethical case be made for watching people die? Is there any benefit to be gained from this beyond the first novelty factor.
(A rhetorical question, just to note that the ethical debate precedes rule making)
One item that I would consider adding to this toolkit is Feldenkrais practice. It has a reputation as a gentle and highly personal method for retraining deeply engrained bodily habits.

The offshore havens that sink nations (2011)
You focused on unwillingness to change one's opinion. That's certainly a definition, but the more common one in use is about prejudice, especially prejudice based on inherent traits like sex or race or sexuality. I'm sure you're aware of that, which is why it's confusing that you're acting as if you're not.

I don't dispute that it's extraordinarily difficult to get people to change political opinions, especially on the fringes. That was never my contention, I made that pretty clear with the example of bigoted communities I chose being white supremacists. Not sure how you could misread that, unless you wanted to.

How does the spent fuel get aerosolized and into the atmosphere? Some of the more recent comments link to a site that detected iodine-131 in Norway. Vented hydrogen/steam from partially uncovered fuel rods (e.g. Three Mile Island, Fukushima) in an active boiling water reactor is historically the most likely source (I think) but iodine-131 should be abundant. The same principle should apply to any nuclear powered submarine or ship. Other commenters point out that Russia has nuclear powered missiles and torpedoes that emit radiation. I expect the CTBTO to be able to categorize the nature of each radiation source but maybe that type of analysis takes time.
Nested ifs in for loops, with lots of things going on here, I don‘t know but that‘s the definition of hard to maintain and to read code.

Ideally an ethical debate would precede rule making. But last I checked nobody who didn't already work at Reddit was involved in making those rules; there was no site-wide referendum, no discussion with users, no warning that these decisions were being made.

Every other social media giant operates the same way. To my knowledge no mainstream social network has ever polled its users for changes to its community policing model. Which is crazy, because in actual society we all have the right to vote, but online we are beholden to nameless moderators and provided no representation whatsoever. It's entirely up to chance whether your case gets seen by someone who would be sympathetic to you (assuming it even gets seen by a person instead of some glorified regex matcher posing as 'AI').

I know in tech we like to outsource lots of hard problems, but nobody should accept outsourcing their moral framework to Twitter, Inc. or Condé Nast.

Another approach to consider, that's so straightforward and quick that most will consider it boring and overlook it.

- kill services with low usage

- downgrade instance size

- downgrade instance type

- merge databases

- schedule services with obvious usage patterns to shut down when not used

- use EC2 spot instances

Most importantly, it requires an aggressive culling mindset. If drastically reducing the AWS bill means staying afloat, then make bold choices.

The hypothesis that forums dedicated to the spread of neo-Nazism can be effectively used in such a way actually help the world do more to prevent the spread of such ideologies is largely unproven.
