I asked for a day off my first week to celebrate my religious holiday of the flying spaghetti monster and got fired too. Couldn't believe it. Everyone on Twitter agreed it was illegal and my religious holidays and celebrations are protected.

That's annoying, but sounds like you avoided a bad team environment anyway?

If they're not placating you at all than I doubt that'd be a great environment to work in. Or they'd already selected someone.
This tweet comes from a Labour activist and has zero evidence, so we should probably take it with a pinch of salt.

Either way, I don’t see this as “religious discrimination”.
The raspberry pi is based around a graphics chip with a proprietary threadx based operating system. Librem's "software support" standards are high enough (no proprietary software) that this qualifies as worse support than a random Allwinner SoC.

The trouble with whiteboards are that some people think nonlinearly. If I'm writing an algorithm, I may write the "middle" first. On a whiteboard, this means I have to guess how much blank space I need to leave in various parts of my code so I have room to fill it later. I almost always guess wrong. On a computer, this is not a problem.

Now while you may be aware of this and not give the candidate a hard time for not leaving enough space, I read a Medium post once written by a Google employee with tips on doing well on the interview. He explicitly highlighted this problem, and literally encouraged candidates to learn to think and write linearly and not leave these kinds of blank spaces.
I practice Zen and, after certain point you don't even watch your breathing. You just become aware of it. So, you restrict nothing.

Unfortunately meditation and spirituality is a very sharp and two edged sword. You need to find the correct people alongside the correct path.

In our way, there's no Spiritual Experience (TM). You just become aware of the issues in your life and with yourself, then you try to solve them. We say that "something is useless if it doesn't improve your real life in a perceivable way".

A lot of this feels "citation needed". Unlike streets, building software that can scale up is not necessarily more costly - often it means a cleaner architecture that yields benefits from day 1. The examples of cut-and-cover BART and freeway widening are in direct opposition to each other - sometimes we use a cheap construction approach that involves disruption, or an expensive one that reduces it. It's telling that the author doesn't even see anything unusual in the idea that no expense should be spared for the roads, but subways should be built as cheaply as possible.
Unlikely, since it's based on Basillisk II and so does not actually emulate the MMU [1].

I’d you’d continued lower down, you’d have read:

> Amazon employees make a minimum of $15 an hour, more than double the federal minimum wage (which we have urged Congress to increase). We’ve challenged other large retailers to match our $15 minimum wage. Target did so recently, and just last week so did Best Buy. We welcome them, and they remain the only ones to have done so. We do not skimp on benefits, either. Our full-time hourly employees receive the same benefits as our salaried headquarters employees, including comprehensive health insurance starting on the first day of employment, a 401(k) retirement plan, and parental leave, including 20 weeks of paid maternity leave. I encourage you to benchmark our pay and benefits against any of our retail competitors.

They might still be ‘underpaid’, but maybe they’re less underpaid than other similar businesses? Could it be true to say that all entry-level jobs suck, but maybe working for Amazon sucks slightly less than some others?

AMD Reports Q2 2020 Earnings
Zhuyin is also relatively new, at around 100 years old. Historically, the closest thing Chinese had to phonics was fanqie, which was a comparatively obtuse way of representing sounds with other hanzi.[1] Basically, any hint of a true phonetic system probably helped literacy rates during the 1900s.

It's definitely a huge amount of work... there are many wrinkles to it, eg, if integrated to the radio firmware, it can do things like wake on specific network traffic and then go back to sleep if it understands the nature of the wake reason only extended to handle that network traffic on the cpu. But then if eg, the ssh session has keepalive enabled, there has to be infrastructure to schedule doing that coupled with another limited-scope wake and go back down afterwards.

Last time I worked on this kind of thing there was great kernelside suspend support that works, but in terms of userland there was no generic linux arrangements for this kind of finegrained management of it.

I also understand the point that for users, atm they just see no ability to defer when they will use the phone while it's still needed to receive calls, which is fatal. It seems properly solving this needs a new, separate userland project somewhere.

> We used to value self-reliance and risk taking, but a growing chunk of America now wants a more risk-averse government-reliant (in the form of guaranteed pensions, etc) European style society.

As I see it, a government that ensures basic necessities will allow more people to take more risks. As it is, the privilege to take risks is limited to a select few in the upper and upper-middle classes, and those below don't have the chance to take a risk without it ruining their life.
Using a radar chart for just three pairs of data points is pretty inexcusable, too. It's not a great style of chart in general, but at least it makes some sense when there's more like ten or fifteen comparisons involved.

High demand is still providing pretty good job security. I'm fortunate to be in the us and get paid a good bit more than if I was in another country. Many many companies want developers in the us for various safety reasons. If you do work on a generic project that could be done safely by people in other countries of course that reduces your safety.

That's just reminded me that I also backed the Pandora, waited ages (years?) and then when I got it I had moved on in need, and I was really disappointed in it. I sold mine within days, and the only upside was it was really profitable to do so as they were still in heavy demand at the time.

I thought I'd check on the project while writing this (every now and then I come across something that reminds me of it), and I see that the Preorder FAQ for the Pyra looks exactly like the one that was up for the Pandora for (what seemed like) years!

Hello HN,

As an A/B testing company (VWO), it's exciting to see how much effective is GPT-3 generated copy against human copywriters on live websites.

I like to think of this as the Turing test on the web :)

The quality of generated headlines, buttons and product descriptions seem very good, so we're hopeful that AI will at least score a few statistically significant wins.

I encourage you to participate in the competition (you don't have to use VWO for A/B testing - you can use your existing stack).

If you have any feedback or comments, happy to discuss.

montessori teaches the basic number system by counting beads.

put the two piles together, count.

they have beads that let you count up to 1000. i don't know at which point they introduce written numbers, but they certainly learn to say and use the numbers, and experience them through counting before reading and writing them.
Native speaker here. Other comments are not wrong but not complete.

There are several phases of Chinese (the text) learning

1. Mapping your daily voices to phonics and to the characters

2. Expand your vocabulary with phonic tools like PinYin

And the most important part:

3. Learn new words and meanings without any involvements of phonics at all.

Many native speakers can comprehend the concept of a word at young age and when they have grown up and put those words into speeches they found they have the wrong pronunciation or word order. LOL. Chinese words are ideograms and can be linked to "pictures" without proper pronunciation. Also Chinese is analytic language so people can literally guess its meaning from contexts.
I was wondering about this myself for some time now. I haven't been able to find any research regarding the amount of food/energy/calories that human body is able to digest.

For example: I eat 10 buns with butter. How much of this food will be digested by my body and how much will 'go through' and not be converted into energy? What's the ratio? Is there even a ratio or everything we eat we eventually digest?

If you want companies to follow rules, history has shown that only steep fines, or jailing executives work. Where the money goes isn't that important, it's a fine, and it's intent is to be big enough that following laws is cheaper.

They want to operate on the EU market, they follow EU laws. EU companies don't get to select which US laws to follow when active in the US.

That's probably only part of the story though, it might be a little more behind why this happens now.

US have worked to extend the reach of their laws outside the country for decades, aggressively. This is part of what's called soft power, which US has historically been quite good at. The current US administration has dropped the ball on soft power so hard its sad. Not only has it opened up for China in parts of the world where they barely got any play before, the emboldening we see in how China tries to assert jurisdiction over people outside China is almost certainly a direct result of these catastrophic failures of foreign policy. Not only Chine, but it's an extremely obvious case..

Anyway, that kind of massive clownery on the geopolitical arena is going to have consequences. The massive power vacuum alone almost certainly enabled, but likely also forced EU's hand enforcing the laws more aggressively, at least to some extent.
Not sure why you're downvoted. You're absolutely right.

I'm only a year into learning Chinese, but I can often guess the sound of a new character just by recalling components of similar characters. The tone takes memorization, but the sound oftentimes has hints. Especially if it's a complex, uncommon character--almost always the sound derives from one of the common radicals it uses.

It's not as intuitive as, say, pinyin, but it's helpful and straight up taught by any decent Chinese textbook.

That's a pretty misleading headline, Independent.

> once lockdown restrictions started to be lifted, these figures reversed, with happiness levels increasing back to close to what they were pre-pandemic, reaching 47 per cent by the end of May.

So the headline's an outright lie; people were less happy after the lockdown than before. A more accurate headline would be "People happier after lockdown lifted, but not at pre-lockdown levels."

> researchers found that the number of people declaring themselves as “happy” went from 51 per cent just before the UK’s first Covid-19 fatality to 25 per cent by the time lockdown began on 23 March.

Sounds like lockdown made the nation 50% less happy.

> “Mental health concerns are often cited as a reason to avoid lockdown.

> “In fact, when combined with employment and income support, lockdown may be the single most effective action a government can take during a pandemic to maintain psychological welfare.”

Not sure how you'd reach that conclusion with those numbers.

The evidence is that (according to another book, The Noma Guide to Fermentation) there is no known mention of fish sauces in south/east Asia before 7th century AD, while in the West it's well documented starting in the 5th century BC. The Noma Guide to Fermentation is however not an history book and is not written by historians, and anyway that's not hard evidence.

Is “C Programming language” Still Worth Learning in 2021?
Modern graphene work looks to have started in 2004, so it hasn't really been all that long considering that it takes time to work out how to produce it, how to actually make use of it, how to manufacture the things that make use of it, life span in applications, toxicity, etc. Also, any initial patents wouldn't have run out yet, which could prohibit bringing it to market.

I wouldn't be surprised if it takes another 20 years to take off in actual products.

In case it wasn't clear, Smalltalk does have if statements. They just aren't special keywords like in most other languages; instead, they are methods of the True/False classes.

The way it is implemented (hopefully) opens up the mind to how OO actually can work, but in practise, when you use if-else in Smalltalk, it's pretty much the same as in other languages.
Sanskrit has the big advantage for that purpose of being "dead" (not taught as a first language), so its existence is academic and pronunciation is relatively fixed through time; Latin would be similar, and its alphabet, this one we're typing, is a good phonetic representation. The pronunciation of "living" languages changes quite a bit.

Most languages with phonetic writing systems (alphabet, abugida, syllabary, etc., but not pure abjad [1]) have direct phonetic representations. English, French, and a few other European languages are unusual.

> 32 bit integers

The original UTF-8 was at most 31 bits long (one bit in the leading byte, 6*5 = 30 bits in six subsequent bytes).

> you'd start getting collisions in the byte patterns and would lose the self-synchronising properties

I'm not sure why. The main requirement for self-synchronization in this case is that the leading byte doesn't appear anywhere else, which would be the case for the leading byte FF. It would require substantial modifications to go beyond 7 bytes (say, it would have alternative means to denote the length of following data bytes) but it is surely possible.
