I've just googled the definition of "nativism" and I think so. I understand it as being concerned with the well-being of the "native" inhabitants, or as I put it, the people there when you assumed power.

I think, in practice, there needs to be something of a balance between prioritizing place and people, probably not an equal balance though. I think people are more important.

As a citizen, if I elect a leader, live by the laws, and pay taxes, I want the government to look after me and my well being and not try to optimize the local stats for GDP or median income or whatever if that comes at the expense of people who live there.

Do you disagree with that?

I think Taylor could have engaged directly on the content of what Steph said, as well as point out the context from the previous article that could be a potential cause of motivated reasoning to keep in mind when considering Steph’s arguments.

That would have been professional and reasonable.

The tweet Taylor wrote was neither of those things and proved Korey’s point more than if Taylor had said nothing.

Put another way, in an information-theoretic view of markets and money: stopping the yields from going up would make it more difficult for investors reliably to gauge how safe it is to lend money during a time of economic stress.

It's also not a scaling function (reduce everyone's cost of borrowing by 10%, say). There's a floor so you get a clipping effect.

The Fed's intervention is like the CD mastering Loudness Wars.
Interesting. Did you go to an Ivy league, cause I went to a state school and I haven't used networking for anything ever. Granted, I've only worked at GAFAM and they hire tons of people so that could be part of it.
This also pressures universities to have in person classes regardless of the safety of that practice. Universities want to support their students, and indeed one of the draws of many university programs for international students is the entry into the visa system for employment in the U.S. One effect of this policy is to push universities to NOT be in the online-only category, even if it means risking lives by a policy the school would have otherwise preferred to avoid.

If you want to boot Debian on there you can actually build a complete Debian system from the package archives using either Debootstrap or Multistrap. Debootstrap is useful for building a Debian system inside of another Debian system, while Multistrap is useful for building a root filesystem to copy to another computer. If you can boot an initramfs then you can boot the root filesystem using pivot-root.

The Linux kernel can execute a shell script as PID1 from the initramfs, meaning that you can just execute the minimal commands needed to mount the main root filesystem and then use pivot-root to change from the linuxrc script in your initramfs to the main init process supplied in your main root filesystem.

You might have to get really creative with compression and static linking as the linker/loader clocks in at a few-hundred kilobytes, plus the gcc support library and the glibc for another few megabytes. Alternatively you could find a way to make the system calls directly and bypass the libc. Busybox will also fit on that disk and it ships with a mount command too, so you could get up and running with that pretty easily.

The codomain doesn't have to equal the image. The image is the non-zero reals, but the codomain could be any superset of it (including all of R). The word "range" is ambiguous.

I agree regarding undergrad mattering less than law school, but as long as we're splitting hairs about RBG, let's split them correctly! =)

She and her husband both went to Harvard Law, though the husband started and graduated one year earlier. He then got a job at a New York law firm and RBG transferred to Columbia to stay near him. She completed her third year at Columbia and received their law degree.

Harvard Law actually has a rule (adopted later) where you can complete your third year elsewhere and still receive a Harvard degree. They offered this degree to RBG, who refused it[1]. So technically you're right that she's a Columbia Law grad, though it's not a stretch to call her a Harvard Law grad as well.

When I became a citizen 3 years ago, I told people that one motivation was that I was very very slightly afraid of Trump even though I was a white european permanent resident of 28 years. It's only taken 3 years to get to where I'd say "not imminently but genuinely afraid" for that sort of immigration status.

USA educates more international students (by far) than any other country. I think the goal of policies like this is to prefer US students. But you're right that it would also be nice if foreign students had an easier time staying in USA after they graduate.

> Nonimmigrant F-1 and M-1 students attending schools operating entirely online may not take a full online course load and remain in the United States ... Active students currently in the United States enrolled in such programs must depart the country or take other measures ...

This is going to ruin so many lives. An example of how this could result is significant hardship for international students is the case of Iranian students.

Iran has mandatory military service for all male citizens ages 18 and over. People who are students can defer their military service until their studies have concluded. If the studies are outside of Iran, the temporary exemption from military service for the purpose of education status allows students to be present in Iran for a maximum of 3 months per year (approximate length of the summer intermission, so students can have some vacation and visit their family). Stays longer than that are deemed to be at odds with being an active student in a foreign institution, so if a student is present in Iran for longer than that, they are deemed to no longer be a student—the exemption is invalidated and the person has to go through two years of military service before they are allowed to leave the country again.

Any male Iranian student who is forced to leave the US due to this directive is effectively expelled from their program. I am sure this is not a unique situation. There are likely many other such edge cases that affect certain demographics of students. I hope they reverse their decision, otherwise so many careers will end before they even begin.

Making the domain of f(x)=1/x be the non-zero real numbers allows f to be continuous. If f(0)=0 then continuity is lost.

Alternatively, defining f(0) to be infinity (a projectively extended real number) also allows f to be continuous.

Another possibility is to define f(0) to be some kind of "bottom" value. See the following tweets by Andrej Bauer: https://twitter.com/andrejbauer/status/1268860981943439361

Continuity is important because without it we lose computability. Every computable function is continuous (in an appropriate sense).
Their endowment is $40 billion and they have 22,000 students (both figures from Google). That's about $2m per student, which is surely enough to offer free tuition to all undergrads from a small fraction of the interest payments?
> Journalism serves the current public interest, not history

Thanks. I think my idea was a sort of "idealized journalism". I'll accept your correction.

> The scope of the public interest isn't limited to crimes, that's a ludicrous idea.

I didn't say that. If you can think of another reason for publishing specific activities of private individuals from years ago that serves the public interest—as we agree is journalism's purpose—by all means share it. I could only think of one reason; perhaps there are others.

Generally, naming and shaming private individuals for specific non-criminal acts in the past does not serve the public interest; that's my point. The only interest it serves is that of the mob, or that of a totalitarian government, both of which we will find it harder to avoid the more we tolerate this type of journalism. This is not how a healthy, free society behaves.
Interesting. Do you know what book this was?
Another reason is stock market cushion. Notice how stocks go up when companies lay people off. So instead of accumulating profits for a rainy day, which would just be taken for buy backs and dividends, they store away "reserves" in the form of people that they can cut. A bit like a hot air balloon ballast.

Even privately held companies can find the ballast useful. By inflating the employment numbers, they can simultaneously seem like a big company as well as one that promises huge efficiency gains for those buying it and willing to trim the fat.

The larger the organization, the more it can handle excess ballast. These are the ones who can often get rid of small competitors by buying them or by getting regulatory capture to get rid of them. That's part of the regulatory bit -- get politicians to craft regulations that only a large bureaucracy can fill and that is an immediate impediment to small-time competitors regardless of any other start-up costs.

There's no real problem with defining the codomain to be too big. Although you can indeed also pick the non-zero reals as the co-domain.

Of course it provides electricity to the grid. It doesn't provide any NET energy to the grid, since it's not a generator. It will pull and push energy to the grid in small amounts as needed to regulate the frequency, which is directly related to the voltage of the grid.
Flywheels (no matter their size) can be operated in near vacuum with magnetic bearings[0]. Friction can be really low. A funny aside is that they have to be aligned with earth's rotation so they don't resist it.

Worth noting that the time frame this was published (1975) was just at the point in history that some (such as Peter Thiel) argue was the end of the rapid technological progress of the 20th century. It might be easy to conceive of a society supported by a technocratic few when looking back at a period of uninterrupted innovation and growth, but I wonder if Fuller would feel the same today when looking back on roughly 50 years of (relative) scientific stagnation (at least in some fields).
Ask HN: How do you plan building a full-stack application from scratch?
I would be very surprised if Haas is spending anywhere close to the incoming budget cap. They arguably have the smallest expenditure thanks to the Ferrari parts deal and contracting the chassis out to Dallara. Of the current teams, I think only Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull and Mclaren (by a much smaller margin) are spending above the incoming cap.

Sealed ground effect will probably not return to F1, not for performance reasons but safety. Introducing the seal greatly increases downforce but once it is broken, the dropoff is incredible. Maintaining that would be nearly impossible with surface imperfections and debris on the track.

I'm so happy you're asking! As a good entrepreneur/product manager, I start by validating the idea with the most minimum viable product possible.

For a service like this, I can simply use the 'concierge MVP' (https://www.shortform.com/blog/concierge-mvp/). So you're not far of: Rather than an army, it's me myself and I. Another common strategy is to do things that don't scale (and this most definitely won't scale). If it turns out to be a success I can define with the customers which features will be implemented first, and which will remain a 'concierge' service. The technical risk will need to be tackled next when there is market demand.

For early adopters, that pretty much means they're getting a personal coach for near to nothing.

If I'm lucky to have customers, I have some ideas around converting chat bots into virtual coaches, doing a bit of natural language processing (mainly to get the sentiment) and some simpler text matching to make sure the target customer, problem and solution match. Under the hood I'll need a process with different branches for different businesses. The alpha stage is also meant to further expand this process before implementing it in software.

(sidenote: Launching something is exciting, but also scary. I'm super happy you wrote!)
Thanks - it will take a while to read through the paper. I'm very surprised to see actual theoretical contributions in a (recent) neural networks paper. Pleasantly surprised.

I agree the trend you point out is worrying. I suppose if this continues at some point the benchmarks are beaten, but that still tells us nothing about the true abilities of the tested systems or algorithms.
Of course I agree that high density housing is a great for cities. But I think you have conveniently forgot that this thread is about gentrification of existing communities, and not about Greenfield developments.

> These nitwits are cruel and incompetent.

This is why I'm afraid of Pence getting President in the event Trump catches corona or has a heart attack or whatever. Or for whatever the Republicans put up after Trump. Because right now the only thing that keeps this administration from doing massive unrepairable damage is their own incompetence because Trump took a bunch of yes men as his advisors and Cabinet.

A government filled by someone with the malice of the current Republicans and the competence of actual professionals? Good night democracy.
Look, I know HN discussions try to keep things respectful, try to prevent flamewars, etc. but I say it's damn hard not to scream out loud "Fuck our current president" with BS like this.

This is quite simply racist xenophobic pandering to his "base". International students don't have any control over whether a school is open in person or online, so why punish them like this. It's just evil.
The easiest way to provide affordable housing is simply to build more housing, and let the existing stock filter down due to the newly-increased supply.

I'd say the advantage is less on the architectural side and more on the team efficiency side – you could possibly have a full-stack team that only needs to do most of their work in 1 language. The benefits of easing task-switching could make it worthwhile as a stack choice.
Designers? From my experience as a designer, it's almost never the actual designer who wants it. It's competing stakeholders.
> look at coronavirus and masks in the US.

Equally, look at coronavirus and masks in western Europe
The schools really should have thought through of all this before canceling classes on all their students who depend so much on attending them.

There’s no excuse for outright canceling classes. Classes can absolutely be held safely, if these universities simply chose to invest in the training, procedures, and equipment necessary to do so.

Instead they chose to bank their tuition payments and setup a Zoom call.

This is not a new policy, student visas have never allowed for online classes, and the universities certainly knew this. I think the blame pretty clearly lies with schools who decided to close up shop.
If this were true, why would anyone choose the option that generates lower revenues?
It's difficult, if not impossible, to fly to basically any country from the US.

The EU is currently debating exemptions for spouses who have been separated, so I doubt they have exemptions for students.

And even if the exemptions and all are sorted out, who thinks it's a great idea for a whole bunch of students to have to fly in what will now potentially be crowded planes, and then have to spend at least a couple of weeks in quarantine, for something that was not a choice of theirs at all.

Also, as if the rental/retail market wasn't bad enough, especially in college towns many of which are single industry towns, this is gonna add to even more completely unnecessary and avoidable hardship.

This is disastrous policy in every form, other than if youre someone who gets off on unnecessary cruelty.
New CS grads start off at like 120k. New boot camp grads start off at like 100k. If you're experienced, you might get up to 200k. If you're experienced and good, you can hit 300k and beyond. Once FAANG sets the standard like this, then basically everyone else needs to offer similar salaries if they want to compete for that same quality of engineer.

>Nonimmigrant F-1 students attending schools operating under normal in-person classes are bound by existing federal regulations. Eligible F students may take a maximum of one class or three credit hours online.

This pretty nuts. From what I understand, even schools that are allowing everyone on campus will have a majority of their classes online or have them be up to the discretion of professors.

This may keep the vast majority of international students out of the US.
Do you think they're not already pissed?
