The first 'computers' ( Babbage? ) were deemed interesting because they could calculate sin-tables for example. Lots of those tables still contained errors because they were calculated by humans.

Faster horse and all.
If it was the lab someone involved in the research may talk. If it's natural we may find the animal source. The Chinese have not been terribly cooperative with investigating things though so it may remain speculative.
I assume you meant “prefers American-educated vs foreign-educated”? If so, I think that’s true, but having trained in the UK and the US, I thing the US system is much fairer (= less unfair) than the UK. At least once you match to a residency program, it’s almost inevitable that you will complete residency and be able to get licensed and board-certified. In the UK, it was pretty easy for foreign grads to get stuck in some dead-end medical job with no way to advance - though my experience is at least 10 years out of date, so things may have changed since then. From my colleagues who have spent time working in France, France is apparently even worse than England in this regard.

The question is why are local grads preferred? I suspect because even with good USMLE scores, US program directors have no good way to judge the quality of applicants, compared to US-educated grads who have formal standardized letters of recommendation from other program directors where the applicant spent time during medical school (med students often do ‘sub-internships’ at outside medical schools during their studies in order to introduce themselves to those programs and improve their chances of matching there). I suspect that if a foreign-educated medical student arranged subinternships in the US in their chose specialty while in medical school, their success rate would be much higher, because it reduces the risk for the program. Unfortunately, most foreign grads (including myself) have already finished medical school by the time they think about coming to the US, and while I believe it’s relatively easy for foreign medical students to get sub-internships, it’s almost impossible for foreign doctors to do the same.

The big economic growth success stories of the last 50 years were in China and East Asia: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam. Some of the least diverse places on earth. Many of these wont accept immigrants from other backgrounds at all, although they might accept low wage agricultural workers.

Economic growth in the US over the same period was mediocre, with declining productivity, and in Europe, it was anemic.

There is just no evidence that nations which focus on diversity in and of themselves have had better economic outcomes.

Now it does make sense that if you are in a large multi-ethnic society then you will be at a disadvantage if you only hire from one group, since good people are hard to find, so why limit yourself to just a small subset of the population. This is less important for a small company than a large company that really needs to cast a wide net. So not intentionally excluding subgroups of your population makes economic sense.

But I'm not aware of any evidence that being more diverse than your population will improve outcomes.

OP never said they were named after the South. Just implied that having the same name could still be a problem. Github master branches have nothing to do with slavery but they still got rid of the term to avoid any possible connections one may make.

Beowulf comes to mind. A quick search indicates that the interpretation of Beowulf as a romance is rather contested, but I think modern renditions frequently fit the bill.
Tell HN: Twitter does not require 2FA to disable 2FA
Basically what the title says. Navigate to account/settings/security/2FA. You can disable 2FA without needing to authenticate (via 2FA) first.

I've never experienced this with any service that supports 2FA. All other 2FA services that I've ever used will not allow users to disable 2FA without first proving identity via 2FA.

(I recognize that 2FA is fallible. I am not arguing that it is perfect. But, if you're going enable 2FA auth, you should try to do it correctly.)
I wonder:

1. Is this effective without "sod," i.e. can you just shovel your local dirt onto it?

2. Would it work with wood chips?

The second point is interesting to me because I know someone who's about to come into a large quantity of 100% organic natural pine chips and has no idea what to do with them, other than pay someone to take them to the dump.
I use standard-notes for its focus on zero knowledge design and simple markdown plus potential economic viability.

HTML Imports were actually among the first (shipped in Chrome), but then ES Modules/import/export took off and now spec authors want to reconcile the two before standarizing.
I'm not sure why people don't like your comment. It's the most likely answer to the previous poster's question.
Isn’t it status page 101 that you host it in the competition, so it stays up when you’re down? :-/
There are combined BS/MD programs in the US, which I think take around 6 years to complete:
https://blog.prepscholar.com/ba-md-bs-md-programs-list

So that’s only one year longer than the UK system, and if you wanted to get a BSc and and MD (MBBS) degree in England, it would take you 6 years there too.
Fantastic. My experience is that when I have an issue on Windows my searches give me a ton of GUI screenshots, but in Linux I get text file edits and terminal commands. However I may be doing it wrong.
My comment is genuine, but I can't see how yours could be. These kidnappings are not taking place at the federal courthouse, nor in direct response to attacks on it. By default, federal officers don't drive around in camouflage snatching people off the street.

These highly unusual actions are obviously being ordered by the White House. Trump has been pushing various justifications for how the federal government should have jurisdiction to squash the BLM protests. Cities have wisely come around to deescalating the fighting between their local police forces and protest crowds, but Trump has consistently worked to inflame the situation. This is his latest stunt.
At various points, thinking about what I wear to events where well-worn skinny pants are advantageous, I've thought about hip-pouches as a solution to the pocket problem. I've generally found that this runs into an inevitable quandrary:

- To carry my wallet+phone+keys, it will need to be reasonably sized
- To be trusted with my wallet+phone+keys, it will need to be durable- built out of leather, or at least something like heavy canvas
- It can't be brightly colored or otherwise goofy, because aesthetics
- If you're wearing something on your hip that is dark-colored, made of heavy-duty material, and is roughly holster-sized, it will generally look like a gun holster to casual or distant inspection. That's not only a bad fashion statement, that's plausibly dangerous in some circumstances.

A pouch mounted right above the knee might solve this (I don't think anyone wears their pistol there?) if there's a decent way to wear a pouch that's not hung from the belt.
I'm not sure cargo pants themselves are "cosplay". A lot of male fashion comes from military - peacoats, bomber jackets, parkas, trench coats, pretty much any boots, etc. And a lot of it comes from jobs - trucker jackets, denim, engineer coats, boiler coats, etc etc.

It becomes kinda cosplay when you have guy in desert camo cargo pants with huge belt with multitool on it, in desert combat boots and beige t-shirt ... in an office, coding Java.

But I'm the guy who goes there wearing M65, jeans and Doc Martens so who am I to talk.

Also you can get slim and stretch cargo pants, which removes the biggest complaint fashion people ususlly have with cargo pants (OMG HUGE BAGGY) and are more techwear/streetwear than military. Unless you get them in camo.
Yeah, that's the intent of the artwork.
Please stop using HN for ideological battle. We've had to ask you this before, and it's not ok to create multiple accounts to do it.

>I think that's the only reasonable thing to do.

But that'd also mean you need double the flash capacity, which drives up the BOM cost.
I really like the comparison chart. I wish every project had that. The first thing I think when I see a project like this and there are a ton of options is "why?". This helps with answering that.

I usually assume these projects exist because the creator looked for a solution to their problems but couldn't find one. So it's nice to have their research presented like this instead of having to try to figure it out myself.
And think about the cost difference on any given year, despite the length increase. Doctors tend to graduate with 170k in debt. On average, they're paid $60-70k per year for 3 years of residency in which they're the most productive they will probably ever be in their lives. As usual in the US, the middlemen (hospitals in this situation) have figured out how to perfectly extract all the monetary gains.
That's still later than 90% of Europe, not really high praise :-)
I think it's happening right now. There's a reason CVS and Walgreens are both trying to position themselves less as drugstores and more as walk-in clinics.

There's a huge opportunity in the market for providing low cost care that has fewer regulations and restrictions.

Honestly, I don't know if it will work or not, but I think it's interesting they're trying to take advantage of the (frankly ridiculous) medical situation in the US right now.

Yeah, I'm confused as well. I wasn't agreeing with them the original comment, just explaining what I thought they were referring to.

My guess would be people not reading user names and assuming I'm the person who originally brought up the name.
No need to have 'em automatic; just ensure they open outwards, so you can push 'em open with your foot.
I shot you (or your co-founder) a note on your Slack - let's pick it up there?
I didn't take any more CS classes in college because during the first course I took my freshman year, there was a lecture and lab component. During the lab, you would code on a computer in an IDE and submit the projects/assignments. During the lecture you'd learn and then take written exams, which involved coding Java by hand. I had no issues with the labs and really enjoyed them, but I greatly struggled with syntax, etc, when writing the code by hand. I was 18, too stubborn, and butted heads with the Professor about it - I kept trying to argue why my lab performance should have demonstrated more of a competency in the subject than writing by hand, but the rubric was final and the exams were a large portion of the grade, and my grade suffered because of it.

After that experience, I declared my major to something non STEM and never took another CS course again, and ended up working for the first 4-5 years of my career in non engineering roles.

However I still ended up being pulled into coding as a passion all those years later, in which I self taught the CS coursework I needed online by taking Computer Science MOOCs and reading textbooks, etc, and now work as a software engineer.

I can't help feeling like if I was a little less brash when a freshman in college, I probably would have loved the CS major and my career could have been very different. I can't complain about where my life/career has ended up though, so perhaps it was all for the best.

This is an egregious violation of the site guidelines and a bannable offense on HN. You can't post like this here, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are.

You've posted repeated complaints holding that HN is moderated for ideological reasons, and that users flag posts for ideological reasons, but when you pour fuel on flames like this, you're creating the very situation you're complaining about. Any discussion that degenerates to this level will correctly get flagged, because it is not what HN is for, and it destroys what HN is for.

The truth is that both sides of ideologues are creating this problem—the other side, yes, and your side, including you yourself. All of you need to accept that (1) this community is large enough that plenty of opposing views are inevitably represented here, and (2) everyone's first responsibility is to protect the container for future discussion. When you bash each other, you're destroying the container. This needs to change, regardless of how important the issues are and how strong your passions are.

Our job is prevent this place from burning itself to the ground, and your account is unfortunately standing out as one of the burners. Even apart from the other site guidelines that you routinely break, you are plainly using HN primarily for ideological battle, which is something we ban accounts for, regardless of which ideology they're battling for. Doing that is the only way to preserve any semblance of intellectual curiosity on this site—that is, any semblance of HN's mandate.

I've held off chastising you for this way longer than we do for most accounts, but it's obviously time for that to change. No, this is not because we secretly side with the worst of your enemies, alt-right trolls or whoever else—I've banned more of those than you can imagine. At the same time, you also need to follow the rules.

RAM came first. Even in the late 1960s, semiconductor SRAM was faster than core memory. Far more expensive, but faster. That created a market segment for caches and registers for high-end mainframes.

DRAM quickly followed, and the 1103 DRAM of 1970, holding a total of 1024 bits, was Intel's first breakthrough product: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_1103

DRAM and SRAM were already a multimillion dollar market by the time the first microprocessors came along a few years later.
In this case though, next train was arriving in 4 minutes IIRC. But in Japan, being late even for less than 5 mins is not acceptable.

Concordance is more or less a consequence of referenda.

An opposition party with enough support could force a referendum on every law. Giving them power prevents this tactic.
So let's change the situation then.

If someone was trying to kick in your door wearing generic fatigues and a patch that says 'POLICE' while refusing to identify themselves, would you let them in? I'm assuming that would be sufficient identity for you to agree that they are in fact police and they have a sufficient reason to kick in your door.
Good point. I wish we could decide as a society to move away from non-compostable packaging. In most cases, composting seems to be a better, cheaper, and less energy intensive solution than recycling.

I have to give Amazon a lot credit towards this effort. They never use glossy cardboard (yay!), and their tape actually breaks down in my compost heap (although the labels don't). I recently got one of their new bubble envelopes, too, which appear to be made out of thick paper and cellulose. Super cool.

> that's only 80 mental mutations between us and the Homo species that made this axe. So these guys were just about as smart as us.

I don't understand that. How could relative intelligence be inferred from just the number of mutation that occurred? I'm no biologist, but from what I understand a single genetic mutation might have a huge effect or a very minor effect.
I wonder how much of the US gun violence is a problem with guns, and how much of it is a problem with crime.

Despair and poverty without a perspective breeds crime. Switzerland doesn't have much of that.
In holistic approaches, sometimes, the treatment works, but the cause and effect cannot be pinpointed. Oftentimes, it's not repeatable. That is because the state of the body is different from one point to another.

"Selling" these techniques or drugs complicates the matter. And this is why [alternative] therapies have a negative taste in scientific communities.
> "people dying horribly, gasping for breath as their lungs fail" is an acceptable price

Ever heard of big tobacco? I got lots of relatives that died like that after enjoying cigarettes all their life. It is not surprising.

But, when you consider that the second amendment is an inalienable right, one has to wonder how to separate children from their guns.

The method described in the article isn't a traditional pooled test. Each sample is marked, and it tests and reports on all samples at once.
Shh... don't let facts harm the narrative.
It's funny, I actually had a pair of something similar in the '90s.

I had a pair of charcoal grey men's pants of some unknown heavier fabric that were cut slim instead of baggy like cargo pants or work pants, and had a pair of discrete flap pockets instead of bulky cargo pockets on them. I adored those pants.

I'd love a pair of slim-cut black jeans with that kind of pocket on them.
I knew someone at my old makerspace who was using it for a final thesis project several years back, when it was just out a year or so.

He was a very capable C# programmer, I think this was the reason for picking it. But over the course of the project he became really bitter and his opinion dropped considerably. Apparently many things that are super easy to do on raspbian were impossible or super hard on Windows IoT. Not regular computing stuff, but integrating with hardware. GPIO, I2C, that kind of stuff.. The kind of stuff that's Bread & Butter for IoT in other words ;)

I can't validate this as I've never really used it myself other than booting it once. But I valued his opinion highly.
The classic example is old world / new world diseases. I believe syphilis is largely a new world disease, and athlete's foot was largely an old-world disease, along with of course smallpox, typhus, measles, etc.

So would you predict a correlation between number of immigrants in a county/state/country and nativist electoral success? I don't think that is the case.

I get that immigration is a hotly debated culture war topic, but I am not convinced by the argument that immigration is the thing that is causing the culture war.
I'm glad I clicked this because it's awesome, but it wasn't at all what I was expecting. Maybe change the title to PIFuHD: High-Resolution 3D Human Digitization?
The article has been edited. A few scrolls below, the article was quoted[0] as saying:

>No. Cargo pants are fashion-as-pretend-occupation — when not at work, wear a fancy chronometer to suggest you’re a pilot or a diver, or camo to suggest you’re in the military. Cargo pants are a paratrooper costume. Cargo shorts have giant external pouches so teenagers in the 90’s, trapped in school, could say (sartorially) “I go out into the world and do adventurous things!” even though the things they stored in those pouches were doritos and portable cd players.

>I am discussing clothing as it might be worn by people while doing their real jobs, not their pretend ones. If cargo pants are appropriate for your real job, you definitely don’t want or need my side-seam welt pockets; and vice-versa."

Isn't what you said impossible by construction? You're saying ~80 "valuable" mental mutations wouldn't make us smarter, but if 80 of them wouldn't make us smarter, were they really valuable of mutations?

I don't know why the sibling reply comment to this by
golemiprague was killed.

My understanding is that he is correct - in terms of requiring a framework to be bundled with your code. Svelte is not a framework that needs to be bundled with your code, instead it injects helper code during the transpilation step and the result has no dependencies.

If I'm incorrect I'd appreciate the trigger happy person to explain why rather than killing this comment.

This kind of thinking exists everywhere really, from politics (in both sides) to software. It is not limited only to medicine.
When Knuth was writing TeX, computer systems had really small memories - I'm sure it strongly affected TeX's architecture, because TeX reads the source document and generates output pages one by one, like some kind of online streaming processor. It never holds the entire document in memory, because old computers couldn't do it.

Yeah, it works but needs some serious help. Apart from it not acting like an iOS app at all, the one thing it REALLY needs is the "send to" support.
I think some of what you are saying is true, but you may be lacking some balance in your sources of information. For example you say:

> It would kill some people and causes other health effects. We don't want a few million deaths.

A few million deaths would be in the 2-3 million range. This doesn’t seem realistic based on the data we have so far. About 140,000 people in the United States have died from the virus after about 5 months. It would require a 20x increase to have 3 million people to die from it. That seems like a really big reach.
Is it same familly that anthony hopkins? the godfather from Westworld.
I think it reduces jobs the same way as having tools like electronic screwdrivers available cheaply reduces jobs.

Instead of everybody having to create their own screwdrivers prior to starting a construction job, they can focus on building whatever they want to build.

I would argue that's a good thing: it increases productivity and decreases duplicated effort.
