There's no perfect solution and many conflicting needs.

1. The health needs of students and professors, some part of them are vulnerable, plus the normal health considerations of covid-19

2. The learning needs of students, plenty may struggle to succeed in an entirely online world. It might be required by reality, but there will be new difficulties for people.

3. Financial needs of the school - they still have to pay for classrooms, office space, dorms, the campus, even if they aren't using it right then

4. Financial needs of the student - they might have financial aid from the school or other sources, how does it apply when the school is remote or unclear, what if things change, what do you pay, what does your scholarship cover?

5. And now immigration clarity. That student might need to be in the us for other reasons - if it's grad school, your relationship with your advisor used to be crucial. Now you'll never have a chance to see them in person. No one wants to be terrified of being deported for violating a rule or the govt confused about their status. The school might close down with little notice, what happens to that person who can't afford to fly back overseas?
Elon Musk visits Tulsa as site for new Tesla plant is considered
Relatively few apartment buildings are built as greenfield developments; they are usually built on the former sites of townhomes or single-family houses. This still represents a huge increase in supply.
That makes sense -- I guessed it more something like this. Thanks for the response.

At Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management, currently ranked the third best business school in the country, 32% of students are international.

Looks like it's set to solve a good problem, congrats on the launch. Would be more enticing if I saw a glimpse into the product(s) through screenshots etc.
It is neither. All teams big or small use a wind tunnel. Simulation and regulation limits on computation mean that a virtual only development program is impossible. Virgin Racing tried it a while back and flopped completely.
What some teams do though is use outside wind tunnels owned by others, like another team or Toyota Motorsport in Germany
I think they're suggesting something hooking into webpack to override all imports of TouchableOpacity with your version. Or you could even monkey patch it in at runtime.
Well, the best it gets is an i7 (and most of the models are i5, or even i3), so that could be a real pain if the procuring manager is a cheapskate.

Also, the screens are 1920x1200 across the board for the Let's, which is the same pixel density as a 1080p 16:9 monitor.

Maybe the easiest way to lift the standard of conversation is to start with a community of vetted members, much like a scholarly journal doesn't allow just anyone to publish.

I'm not saying its an exciting way to go about it, but it would likely work.
This is mostly just using the keyboard to manipulate the rhythm/time performance of a pre-configured score. Interesting, but not what most would think of as jazz improvisation.
Plain old xenophobia? How about double digit unemployment rate? We can debate the means. But I can understand why Trump would want to cut down on immigration.

Now a good question is whether there will be unemployment among highly educated people with STEM degrees, who were in hot demand only a few weeks ago, and if not this is counterproductive. But every economic indicator seems to point at a major recession (beyond a technical recession during the lockdown). I would assume everyone will be impacted.
Cold turkey works, it worked for me dozen of times. Of course until i relapsed:)
And we probably can't discount the role of direct-mail marketing in this, either - my bill from my ISP will arrive in a plain envelope (before I opted into paperless statements), but every random piece of upsell spam I get from my ISP is plastered with giant red letters saying "IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT - TIME SENSITIVE" and often with a fake business card for some executive inside.

Even brands themselves are getting in on the game of trying to abuse people's attention with deceptive messaging.
Most of the code is tuned C code — tuned in the sense of being fast to compile, with a nice C++ wrapper to make it nice to use. I'm seeing compilation in the 100kloc/s on an older laptop.
I'm very interested in the idea, but I don't like:

"Like Neeva, Startpage sources search results externally—in its case, directly from Google"

I've been having a lot of trouble with Google search results lately. They seem to be getting worse all the time. I'd love to join a new search engine, but if the limit of their search quality is Google, I just can't get that excited.

I'd prefer to start using something that is 80% of the quality of Google and getting better, than something that is fixed to Google.

It sounds like an engineer can assemble or design another robot to do this specific task. Then you’d have to clamp down that loose tube afterwards.

Maybe with the AI vision recognition systems being developed now, that such a robot will become available in the future.
The missing thing here is property ownership. If the existing residents owned their properties, then the investment in those communities would accrue to them. Even if property taxes got too high and the existing residents left, they would be cashing out a big chunk of equity.

The problem is that, due to historical and ongoing discrimination, most of the existing residents in neighborhoods being gentrified are renters with no equity: https://www.npr.org/2017/05/03/526655831/a-forgotten-history....

Indeed, black and brown residents face the problem that their very presence depresses property values, and property values skyrocket when they leave. In DC, the area east of the Capitol has been gentrifying over the last 15 years. If you look at homes districted first Maury elementary school, their prices have skyrocketed (doubling in many cases) in the last 5-7 years. That’s far faster than the city as a whole. Why? Because in that time frame Maury flipped from majority black to majority white. Everything is in DCPS. The district has a highly equitable funding formula. It’s the same teachers, etc. Many of the fancy new school buildings are in fact majority black schools. But upper middle class parents are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars more to send their kids to majority white schools. So the very fact of black residents leaving causes property values to go up—gains which obviously those former residents cannot capture.
> schools that are allowing everyone on campus will have a majority of their classes online

That would make it not a "school[] operating under normal in-person classes" but rather a "school[] adopting a hybrid model." No?

Ask HN: Going into business with friend and her mom
Hi,

My friend and I have worked close for these last few years. Her and I are both software devs and often do side projects for fun.

Her mom was very successful in her industry and owned a few businesses. Recently I was approached to start something new with Friend + Mom. Her and I will code it up and the mother (cant say mom again) will handle logistics.

Obviously this is a weird dynamic.

This is way ahead but just thinking how do I cover myself without coming across as caring about the wrong things? If we split it 3 ways then really I am outnumbered. I was thinking we could do 33,33,33 and just ask for 2 votes and any disagreements go to arbitrage.

That said, I have never dealt with any of this, its never been a family situation. I also feel like I am getting ahead of myself. But would want the information when it presents itself. Thanks

No it isn't the first of our issues. If there is a fire, you don't pour kerosene on it while trying to put it out, right?

Adding more tools we know will be abused at a time like this seems like adding fuel to fire and removing accountability from individual actions.

You might have a better chance fighting a case where you are stopped for no reason than fighting a case where your car is pulled over because the FR system mistook your blurry face for that of someone else due to poor lighting.
Honestly, too many unknowns to answer this with any real specificity.

In general though, comp will depend on a lot of factors, some key ones are the amount raised, the runway needed to get to the next round or milestone, your personal experience, # of founders, and your percentage of ownership. The general rule is as a founder you will take the smallest salary possible to live for the first year or two until you reach some milestones, then usually during one of the funding cycles you can take a pay raise and if things are going well it usually opens some other options like leveraging some of your personal ownership. Bonuses are usually fair game if the team is hitting milestones (especially to retain people), but remember, if the company is taking investors money they want their money to go to making the business successful more then lining founders pockets. No one at a startup should be stuck at the same salary for years on end (outside the first year or so), that is generally a sign of a stalled or failed company, this includes the founders IMO. Of course, that said many founders will choose to take the smallest salary possible for as long as possible to keep that money in the company to grow faster, but is a choice and not because the company can't do better.

To be a little more specific, I have seen everything from minimum wage on up for founders. Investors know you need to eat and live, so as long as the company plan seems reasonable and they fund it then you are good to go. I don't think you can say there is a one size fits all rule. That said, from things I have seen personally, many founders take minimum wage (typically young college age founders), while others typically with more experience take $50k-75k. When you start going over $100k and you own any decent percentage of the business it usually will require more justification to investors, at least that I have seen. In the end though, it all comes down to the deal economics, the founding team and the initial investors.
This seems to have also shown up on in an oped on RussiaToday: https://www.rt.com/op-ed/493763-hong-kong-us-funding/
Correct. Many Jews disagree with Israel's current relationships — and many early zionists like Herzl would likely disagree too.
By the time I was applying for colleges, my parents made around $250,000 combined, which went to mortgages and other expenses, including retirement plans. I was therefore not eligible for any FAFSA loans, as they do not factor in zip code, cost of living, the kinds of assets or liabilities anyone has, nor inflation.

Affordable, to me, was in-state tuition at $3,000 per semester at a state school, with a few community college classes. This was mixed with scholarships, and my parents subsidizing books and on campus living some semesters as that could more than double the cost of tuition.

Are you saying that Harvard could have arbitrarily and unilaterally spit out a number close to that? And routinely does for people whose parents make more than $65,000?

My comp sci degree has the same utility as anyone else that didn't go to Ivy League / Stanford.
I actually enjoyed this one, surprisingly. It kept me from staring too long on any one particular piece ;)
I've witnessed managers yelling, but no developers in my 20+ years as a software engineer. We are naturally chill individuals, or else we'd be yelling at our computers all day every day because writing code can be extremely difficult & frustrating.
Can grant you that using accounting definitions, jjoonathan is literally correct: the [accounting] profit goes to sociaty (the Fed) here and the debt liability is on the private balance sheet (Walmart).

However, GP is making a point I might take the liberty of rewording as, "privatize the profits and benefits, socialize the risks and costs."

The reworded version is certainly true in economic (not accounting) terms. The profits and benefits accrue to the private side (Walmart) through a lower cost of capital and hence a higher profit margin. The risks and costs are borne by society (the Fed) through the credit risk and the infinitesimal debasement of the currency.

In this case, the students would be returning home, and therefore be citizens of the country they are flying to. Generally speaking (including the EU, which you mentioned), citizens are exempt from the travel bans. Even during the quarantine, there were once-a-week flights to China from the US (https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/16/business/us-china-flights-int...)

Not saying that these changes aren't horrible, they are, but I don't think getting home is impossible. Very difficult, in most cases yes.
Campuses and dormitories are closed though. Where are these people supposed to live?

The "participatory economy" seems like a gross gamification of online social interaction. It's important that people have aspects of there lives that aren't driven by financial incentives. I would argue that online communities, especially more niche, subscription-based ones, are driven and should be driven primarily by interest. Why do participants need to be "compensated" for their engagement?

> What if instead the community took a portion of the fee stream and distributed it to the members who most positively impacted the community?

I think it's arrogant to think we can develop a reward system that can both accurately match reward to real-world impact (how do you even quantify that?) and also avoid the trap of influencing users' behavior toward optimizing their virtual rewards (participatory income?) over engaging with their community authentically.

Subscription-based online platforms like Twitch and Patreon already work, what is the great improvement that a "participatory economy" brings?
Basically, schools and school systems (and students/parents) at almost all levels of education are being forced to make decisions between alternatives that are mostly pretty crappy across multiple dimensions, won't be easy to pull back once they get moving, in conditions of extreme uncertainty.

If financially viable to do so, I likely would not enter college as a freshman this year and I'd probably hesitate period unless I thought I could graduate after fall term.

And wait until the debate about K-12 heats up.
I have PDFs of some of these Israeli model kits. If anyone is interested LMK and I'll post them somewhere.

Not at all. But it doesn't matter if I agree or not - I was just making an observation.

> f(x) = 1/x is also defined over what we call the "extended reals" which is just R + inf.

Not quite. The extended reals are ℝ + {inf, -inf}. This has the problem that 1/x approaches inf from the right and -inf from the left.

As ogogmad notes, in order to define a value for 1/x at 0, you need the projectively extended reals.
I think all clients are a bit questionable since it's such a complex format and because most clients are not written in safe languages. Although they're rarer, even Mac OS X's Preview.app has had CVEs.
Its worse, its bad business.
Whether you're dealing with actual law enforcement or someone pretending, the procedure is the same: Say nothing, tell your lawyer and wait patiently to be arrested. Assuming it's real, it's the action of a court, and court proceedings are routine, slow, procedural, and consist of paperwork. And somebody has to show up physically with a warrant. For chrissakes, make them work a little for it. If they can cow you without even getting up from their chair, you're making it too easy. This just happens to deflect scammers too.
> There’s no excuse for outright canceling classes. Classes can absolutely be held safely,

Why do so few people actually charged with making this decision agree with you?

And US college is about a lot more than classes.
> The EU is currently debating exemptions for spouses who have been separated, so I doubt they have exemptions for students.

Presumably, most students kicked out of the US would fly to their home countries where their status isn't "student".

Most of Trump's voter base, sadly. Less immigrants in the U.S. is the only metric they care about.
Would it be feasible to just build a Debian image for the i486? Few packages should depend on something newer.
100% agreed.

Civility be damned, this is straight up horrific to read.
People are forced into needing external management. The innate nature of life is to self-lead, but 15 years of being told to sit in a chair and listen to someone else blah-blah-ing will kill that idea.

We do want to be valuable to one another. Right now, we are valued by how much money we have. The dream of a UBI is to move beyond such a silly measurement of human worth and let the measure of value be based on actual deeds. We don't need a boss to tell us what to do. We just need to be a part of a community. Stuff happens, we respond.

With the lockdown, many were given permission to do nothing. And many, many people found ways to do something nonetheless. We seek to give, to participate, to find our own way.
I mean it's "perfectly fine" because the people building it know how it works (because they were there when it was built), and think they don't need comments to help out future maintainers.
Without any doubt Mozilla's public oversight role (via m.d.s.policy) is extremely important.

Google actually doesn't operate transparently either, except in the sense that it chooses to participate in m.d.s.policy. You won't find a public process behind Google's decision to require CT for Symantec's roots before it was mandatory for other roots for example, they just announced the policy as a done deal.

You are not alone in concluding that Mozilla's distrust decisions (I wouldn't characterise them as "punishment") are in practice copied by the other root trust stores. It is entirely possible that Microsoft (for example) has a large team of dedicated experts independently investigating incidents and just coming to coincidentally similar conclusions. After all, the facts won't be different if a Microsoft team investigates them than they are when Mozilla and third parties do so for m.d.s.policy. But it's a hell of a coincidence...

I would note that for initial trust decisions Microsoft in particular does not follow m.d.s.policy. If you run Windows there's an excellent chance that your computer (and thus Internet Explorer, Edge and Chrome on that computer but not Firefox) trusts poorly run Certificate Authorities from a variety of organisations and countries which don't seem very trustworthy.

For example the governments of Sweden, Slovenia and Thailand.

[Edited: This used to mention Venezuela but the Venezuelan government CA was in fact distrusted by Microsoft]

Now maybe Microsoft's team carefully vetted all these dozens of Certificate Authorities that aren't trusted elsewhere and concluded they're doing a great job. In some cases we know they weren't able to satisfy Mozilla (or volunteers contributing to m.d.s.policy) but in other cases they never applied at all. Maybe they're just shy?

So far we can say this doesn't seem to have caused any serious reported problems. So maybe it's fine.
Natural gas is cheaper only because of massive tax benefits and lack of accountability for environmental damage caused by gas extraction. The moment one of these two parts of the equation get adjusted, the true cost of natural gas will far outstrip the cost for renewables and batteries.
In my case I'm associating this service more to a news-service (e.g. arstechnica.com, golem.de) => I had no problems paying for their general subscription (3-5$/month) even if I don't ever read all their articles => I would most probably handle a search-engine the same way (and in this specific case limitations like e.g. max 10'000 search queries per month when using a "basic"-subscription would be ok for me).
Agreed. I did a napkin-back calculation on a giant (50m diameter) grid-scale flywheel back in grad school in '95 (when there was talk of powering cars with them) and failures would have been catastrophic since the flywheel would dissipate all of the energy nearly immediately (in comparison to gasoline). A car powered by a flywheel (0.5m diameter) would have been a guided missile... Fortunately, grid-scale flywheels can be placed in out-of-the-way locations.
I must be one hell of an outlier, then, because of the dozens of people I have interviewed over the years, exactly one could not demonstrate basic programming skills. Most of them couldn't get much further, but that is a different matter.

Oh I definitely agree with you in principle.

I just think that

1) the price tag is inflated in the first place

2) at many income levels that are too high to qualify for aid, $70k per child per year still really stings and I can understand the reaction to try to cut the corners a bit.

What if I told you that I can invest your money for a consistent 10-20% return, and I can even make you 5%+ during the 2008 recession. I beat everyone else's returns. The only thing is that I can't tell you exactly how I do it. Of course, an investment scheme this good has to be secret, so we don't do external audits, but my brother audits everything for me.

It would take a stupid person to believe a scam like that, wouldn't it?
