> time and space actually switch roles inside their event horizons

No, they don't. This is a common misconception based on a mathematical artifact of one particular coordinate system.

> here is a video that does so

This video is actually quite misleading, because in the diagram it shows of a black hole at around 7 minutes ish, it is using coordinates in which the artifact I mentioned above does not occur, but then mislabels the coordinates in the part of the diagram inside the horizon to make it seem as if it does.
What's more interesting about a lot of these products is that they are widely used and still highly embedded in workflows. Even though they're shite. Re-enforces the point that your product can't just be the "best user experience". You have to have a strategy to dominate as well.
Normally this is 12 month trailing PE.

"The PE ratio of the S&P 500 divides the index (current market price) by the reported earnings of the trailing twelve months."

So it's current total market value (add the market cap of all 500 companies in the index),

And divide by the total past 12 months earnings of the same 500 companies.

If that doesn't answer your question, please let me know.
Who doesn’t talk about this?

You see this discussion everywhere from The Guardian to Incel forums. You see activists going on about “beauty standards.”

This is often discussed.
There’s a lot of vitriol aimed at rich people right now, regardless of how they attained their wealth.

I imagine it’ll soon be transferred to talented people as well.

Soon we’ll be right where the story predicted, everyone wears handicaps to make themselves equal.
Idiots Win
Bitcoin is, including its geographic scale, a once-in-a-century event. One may expect to find similar returns in small investments in one's life, but probably not in broader global markets. It was a fad that happened to have just-enough technological innovation baked in to yield (at least for now) spectacular success.

For me, the real value in Bitcoin wasn't the small-dollars money I made in trading it for lunch money, but rather the exposure to the psychology of day-trading in a volatile market.

Unless your friends are playing the game with leverage, a short-term speculative play will only yield spectacular financial success if the government decides to print a spectacular amount of money.

If you can impart one idea to friends buying into this, or any, market, it might be this: "Don't play for more than you can afford to lose."
I can think of one that's even greater: intelligence.

Note that most (all except one?) of the studies on attractiveness in sentencing were using mock juries or similar (unlike the race based statistic which uses real data).

In the single study that was based on real data there was no control for income. The impact of that should be obvious to all: richer people are generally better groomed in court and have better representation.
Right, I did read the page and it's very interesting and good, just wondering how someone would be able to trace back these people to a defined IP address, considering the whole point of these anonymous networks is that they hide that. Is this site depending on them messing up somehow?

In this context, one can probably use either trailing or forward PE. Companies do make forward earnings projections. Neither one is likely to bring P/E even close to 15.
> Mukhesh Ambani who's got a good connect with the current ruling Government

To be fair, Mukesh has got good connections everywhere. He is India's most powerful person.

Amitabh and the Shahrukh (some of the world's richest actors, both half billionaires) both volunteered as servers at his daughters wedding as a show of appreciation. If a man can command the most powerful of his country to such level of willful subservience, then every Govt. will try to curry favor with him.

I will add, that while his intentions might be entirely selfish, the pace at which Jio was able to bring affordable 4G to the whole country is incredibly empowering for rural / small town India.

That being said, adding money to the pool of what is quickly becoming a monopoly is not a "fund to digitize America" as Pichai put it.
> On the unofficial but universally-understood 10-point scale of looks, I’ve heard people call themselves a five, but never a one or a two. You might tell a friend “you’re a 10” but when was the last time you told someone you respect “you’re ugly.” In the world of euphemisms, “average” is the new below average and “ugly” is a taboo term reserved mostly for high school bullies or kids playing in sandboxes — or whatever it is five year olds do now.

Or maybe it's because beauty, just like most other traits in nature, follows the normal distribution, so most of us are around 5, and very few are really ugly (or astonishingly beautiful).
I'm no gold bug, but turn some of your cash into gold.
For the last line, it probably means "write more comments".

Python code has usually """docstrings""" at the beginning of each function, that have some special format and support from the IDE. (I'm not sure if they are common in Clojure.)

Perhaps the takeaway is that if they assign you a Python project for a Clojure position, it will be evaluated as a Python project by a Python expert.

(Another takeaway is that a Python project for a Clojure position is a red flag.)

(Another possibility is that your code really need more comments.)

(It is weird that they expect more refactoring. I expect Clojure code to be more refactored than Python code, but perhaps the problem is that my Python code is too bad.)
Theres literally no where to put you money now.

The stock market would be down if you could put money in any government bonds that you thought would immediately start increasing spending or any stock or bond market that would do any better. Emerging markets are shaky with China destroying HK and corona running through cities everywhere in the world.

This feels like such a ludicrous concept, but also I love it. I've recently fallen back into the world of building static marketing sites and the tooling is now so sophisticated, cheap and undifferentiated. We're solving the same problem over and over in very similar ways. I generally despise all-in-one solutions, but this use case actually makes a lot of sense at this point.
There are 2 sides to this. On one hand people have undergone total or subtotal hemispherectomies with minimal to no changes to their cognitive function, or other personality aspects. On the other hand this doesn't imply that you can remove anything "up to" 50%. Some bits are "make or break".

To make a CPU analogy, plenty of CPUs can (are designed to) function just fine with disabled cores. But certain units cannot be disabled and still have a functional CPU. The IMC or chip interconnect may take little die space but would leave the CPU dead in the water if removed.

Not all parts of the brain are created equal, not 100% of the brain is there for us to "use" (as in we're not consciously using them, they provide autonomous "built-in" functions), and the parts that we consciously make use of might very well be underused. Few people would ever need to use at once all parts of the brain for all possible processing needs like all types of sensorial input processing, all types of memory memory, all types or reasoning, empathy, multitasking, etc. So they'll use a few at a time. Maybe 10%.
Treating c1 and c2 as constants seems problematic. Different generations have different populations and access to resources such as education, technology, etc. The unknown knowledge to be discovered varies. The methods of preserving and transmitting knowledge vary.

There were certainly cavemen born with Einstein-level intelligence from time to time, but without a foundation to build on, peers to collaborate with, or written language to preserve their knowledge, they would both create and pass on significantly less knowledge than someone in modern times. One generation might lose a large portion of all the knowledge built up for millenia prior during a civilization's collapse; while another generation may stumble upon a discovery which ushers in a short but extremely productive era of knowledge production. If nothing else, if you have 4 billion people in one generation and 8 billion in another then all else being equal the latter generation has twice as many brains with which to store and create knowledge.

Perhaps it's here already? We see a lot of posts here on HN denigrating the value of higher education and saying that highly-educated people are gatekeeping.
40 Rock talked about it at least twice.

In one episode some man who was supposed to be super attractive to everyone had no idea he was so bad at everything. He passed through life because everyone let him off the hook for his beauty.

In another episode a beautiful assistant started at the studio and charmed everyone into getting her way. When Liv confronted her about it she replies that if it's fair for Liv to use the brains her genetics gave Liv than it was fair to her to use the beauty genetics gave her.

Fascinating to think about what kind of experiment could be used to measure a quanta of time. Has anyone worked in this space before? What would a lab setup look like to try to measure something that requires orders of magnitude more precision than an atomic clock?
There probably is a significant base load and I don't think we can measure neuronal activity as well as we like to pretend. Imagine being consciously as good in trigonometry as your eye-brain...

I believe size has an effect, elephants are pretty smart, and there is a general trend in the animal kingdom that would confirm this. Structural density is important too as well as type of brain matter. Some say humans are limited in head size because of birth. Look at how funny babies look with their disproportionately large head. But density is probably more an issue for humans than for elephants.

The first deduction is probably ridiculous although we know that parts of the brain can be repurposed for other tasks if needed. We know there are completely functioning people that lost half their brain, just had to relearn some things.

> 1. I don't really know how to answer this to you other than with "arithmetic."

Supposing I only use 10% of my brain at any given instant, but it's a different 10% each time, then removing any of my brain would have a negative impact on me.
It has been about 3 years atleast since Jio has paid plans, and things are still way way cheaper. Even if the prices double, they will be way cheaper than what they were.
I echo this sentiment, but when all major central banks are printing? And the Fed is buying equities? There's some sort of brinksmanship going on that I find highly disturbing. Also seems like there's a large amount of will to keeping the party going indefinitely.

Why not? ATMs work at 3AM.

Not really, if it’s data you skimmed yourself odds are they’ll work more than half the time.
When opening the javascript codepen demo linked in the article, the video plays immediately, but I noticed HTTP GET requests to https://webtorrent.io/torrents/Sintel/Sintel.mp4

> There's no such thing as "open source in spirit"

I guess that's down to personal opinion. I and others say there is, take a look at this article regarding the license: https://itsfoss.com/making-the-business-source-license-open-...

In the end I'm not interested in having an argument with Open Source zealots – it seems that once you make the source code of a project public there is a category of person on the internet that isn't happy until it's completely free.
It's strange. My best guess is that despite AWStats filtering bots, many do get through.

Yeah, I use it in chemical process simulation and I pretend arrays don't exist. Dictionaries for everything, unless my software version is old enough that the Tcl version doesn't support them.
Two of these are not like the other.
Yeah, something along these lines is what I've always thought was going on:

* It probably is true that on average, only 10% of neurons are firing at a given instant in time.

* Lay-people misunderstood this to mean the other 90% aren't doing anything,

* When actually, if all 100% were firing there'd no longer be a differential and the brain would stop working.
Ephemeral chat, no messages stored, no sign up
I recently went on a first date with a woman that was certifiably gorgeous and wound up having one of the most fascinating conversations on this topic.

She discussed her prior career in the military, where she spent 8 years and ultimately got pushed out by a high-ranking officer (also female) in her division for very political reasons. It wasn't just a superficial rant, she described an incredibly detailed pattern of abuse and obstruction by some of her COs.

My main takeaway was that attractive people tend to get more attention. Much of it is probably good attention, but this isn't always the case. A few days after that date, I heard about Vanessa Guillén, an Army soldier murdered by a CO after suffering from persistent sexual harassment by him[0].

Yes, for example I can easily do multiple UI changes in UWP, with C++/WinRT or C++/CX, in a fraction of the time that it takes to build Rust applications.

I am quite curious how usable Rust/WinRT will turn out to be for WinUI work.

You can absolutely create memory leaks in Rust [1].

That's a bigger problem for server applications than CPU / Memory performance issues, because the latter can be traced more easily.

As a (mediocre) dev and head of a team (some are great, and some are as bad as me), I'm far more worried about bugs than performance.

It's not a doc about Racket, it's a conference paper. Had you read it you would have found "Optional typing can be traced as far back as MACLISP, which allowed users to declare (unchecked) type specifications [15, §14.2] in an otherwise untyped language." and "Contemporary optional type systems have been developed for Clojure [8], Lua [14], Python, [10]," where the footnote references MyPy. Type hinting is the mechanism through which optional typing is implemented.
Stuff like highway safety is done with a single cost per human life saved. That's fine there, since the cause of death isn't terribly sensitive to age (and to the extent that it is, there are effects in both directions--young people drive more and more dangerously, but are more likely to survive a given accident, so it partially nets out).

But like many diseases, the coronavirus is far more sensitive--the IFR for a 75-year-old is >100x that of a 25-year-old[1]. That's the reason why health care spending is near-universally assessed by cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) saved. To do otherwise would yield absurd results, paying the same to restore a dying child to perfect health as to extend a centenarian's life by another month of agony. Around the usual ~$100k per QALY saved and counting both the deaths and loss of quality in severe but non-fatal cases, I believe that masks, social distancing, remote working where possible, and closure of the highest-risk businesses (theaters, nightclubs, etc.) until a vaccine is available are likely cost-effective, but facility closures beyond that are not (except to any extent required to stop the medical system from getting overrun).

Because governments are wiretapping the entire internet they can track down any server they can connect to live regardless of the protocol or number of indirections (this could be prevented with Freenet-style distributed hosting), but the actual downfall of the dark web seems to be web technology and outsourcing hosting. Last I checked Tor browser didn't disable javascript even on .onion sites (restricting HTML to a subset and requiring CSP would go a long way), and when sites share hosting they tend to go down all at once.
