Maybe it's just me, but the idea of retiring early and then travel the world is really strange to me. I'd rather spend my life seeking and working on the next ideal job, and the only time that I'll skip it is when I believe it's impossible to get the ideal job. For now, if you give me a BI/DE job I'd be happily to work at least 60 hours and keep improving my shits. In short, I'd rather die working.

But again I'm not against FIRE, because most of the time people don't get to do their ideal job (or even the top 5 ideal jobs), and in their shoes I'd rather just grab enough $$ and retire early. The point is, sadly, in modern society, many people are not really getting the chance to contribute to the society in a way both he/she and the society are satisfied with. This is very sad. The idea of Communism, at least part of it, is to make sure that each person out there gets the chance to fulfill their dreams and do their best, and this is really attracting.
Some are, but most aren't. I think the universities that could afford to mostly don't feel they need to (Harvard isn't going to run out of students willing to attend), while the universities that feel more pressure to offer discounts are already cash-strapped from lost dorm/event/etc. revenues, or in the case of public universities, state budget cuts.

The most across-the-board policy I've seen is George Washington University, which is giving a 10% tuition discount: https://coronavirus.gwu.edu/. Some other places are offering case-by-case increases in financial-aid packages.
It depends a lot on the community college. My wife has taught at community colleges and 4 year universities, and she said that the students who transferred from community colleges were frequently very unprepared for a 4 year university. Like, they would struggle to write more than 1 page and have no idea what citations are.
This article is very relevant to what I've recently experienced. I haven't experienced the sweating but I've experienced the serenity that follows controlled breathing.

I'm reading an English translation of Ramana Maharshi's Upadesa Sara with commentary and verses 11-14 talk about controlling the breath (pranayama). A few relevant points made in those verses:

* Controlling your breath can help quieten the mind.

* There are such things as harmful breathing patterns so it's important to seek the guidance of experts to avoid them.

* The simplest breathing exercise that's easy to do right without an instructor is to observe the breath as it is.

I've made a conscious effort to observe the breath randomly throughout the day and it has a calming effect. These past few days have felt good. Observing the breath before sleep has made it easier to fall asleep.

FWIW, the verses also mention that, as far as being serene is concerned, pranayama is a short term solution to a long term problem (and the gist of Upadesa Sara is on the long term solution but I digress).
Heh. It was a bit hard to pin down, but we did eventually fix it. One of those Java super deep dependency things where the 3rd party thing at the bottom is broken. I think it was cxf.
I'm sure the Mayan's original paper they submitted for peer review had the appropriate margins or error detailed, it was just lost once the newspapers picked it up.
The key isn't oil purchases, it's what the middle East do with the dollars. They give them back to the US, buying government bonds and other US domestic securities. Only that process has stopped on its own because prices are so low, most countries in the region are spending more than they make.

I don't think the usd is going anywhere as the world reserve currency, but oil trade currency isn't the reason.

This is an interesting time because the US does NOT have the support of excess oil revenue to keep it in demand.
Very good answer I must say
The article has a lot of errors. For example:

> Surface-to-surface transmission of e-shell rotation between aligned shells of atoms constitutes electricity.

That is definitively not how electricity work in a wire. The electrons are moving inside the conductors. (There are some technical details, for example an electron in a crystal has a different effective mass than an isolated electron, but they are moving anyway, not rotating.)

> The reason that magnetic action extends beyond the current-carrying wire’s apparent surface is that while 99.999% of the electron exists within 430 pm of the nucleus, there is a small chance of finding that surface extended to incredible distances. In fact, under Quantum Mechanics, the radial distribution function for the electron has no limit on reach.

> We imagine the physical extensions of the atomic surface are responsible for the action-at-a-distance. Lateral magnetic motion of conductive rotating e-shells thus synergizes between current-aligned wires, pulling them together as shown in Figure 2 below (panels A and B).

This effect decays exponentially. A few nanometers away the wave function and probability density is completely negligible, and so is the effect of the orbital shape. On the other hand, the effect of magnetism of a wire decays like 1/r and can easily be measure a few cm away (or more if the magnet is strong enough). So this part of the explanation is wrong.
There is only one other post about China. Most are posts are focused on privacy issues here at home.
Yes you are wrong, though I suppose what you consider "rare" could be arbitrary. It seems that asymptomatic cases are anywhere from 20-40% of cases, although even that could be low, given that you are more likely to be missed if you have no symptoms prompting you to get tested.
Sure, but it's still not the core issue. If racism were magically solved overnight, very little would change. You'd still have these corrupt systems exploiting the weak and poor.

Hi : unrelated to this thread.

In an older thread you mention an acronym TFA. The thread was a discussion on sparse files and removing bytes from the front of a file.

What is TFA?
The chance of death is not 1%. Here are a couple of reviews:

https://swprs.org/studies-on-covid-19-lethality/

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.13.20101253v...

Across 32 different locations, the median infection fatality rate was 0.27% (corrected 0.24%). Most studies were done in pandemic epicenters with high death tolls.

But recall that these IFRs are calculated with a very questionable definition of COVID death (see my other comment). Real IFRs are much lower when you take into account that many people who have "died of COVID" have in reality died of something else, even perhaps the supposedly no longer existent condition of old age.

This is how you can have countries that have hundreds of thousands of cases yet totally flat excess death charts.

I suspect these kind of inflated figures are partly what's driving people's over-reactions (look at how my post was voted).

And there's some evidence for this. Today there was a poll released with truly shocking results.

page 12 here: https://www.kekstcnc.com/media/2793/kekstcnc_research_covid-...

In polls Brits are estimating that 7% of the population has died of COVID. In other words they think it's 100x more deadly than current government stats claim, and those stats are themselves currently suspended due to rampant over-counting.

But Americans are even further out. They believe the death rate is 225x higher than it really is. They also believe the virus is 20x more prevalent than in reality.

Top marks go to Germans who believe 300x more people have died of COVID than is really true.
Brand new systems are being written all the time that use PHP and MySQL.

These are actively developed technologies that new programmers are learning all the time, with vibrant ecosystems of suppliers (like wordpress plugin and theme developers, or mysql performance consultants), that aren't showing any sign of fading.

Again, that doesn't compare to COBOL.

> In that world, "hacking your customers" is the only feasible path to growth. I share the upthread concern as to whether this is effective, I just don't see a way for these stores to avoid going down that path if it does work.

Maybe this is a reason to reorient our economy to focus on the well-being of its citizens as opposed to efficiency improvements in their monetization. If growth in sales/revenue/whatever wasn’t the goal, then the economy could focus on providing necessary services instead of “hacking” customers in order to sell more junk. The economy would be focused around giving people what they need as opposed to maximizing consumption.

I think the issue here is less that they are arriving at the same conclusion months apart, and more that the reporting makes it sound like a sudden, recent revelation rather than a consensus that has been building for months and months.
There should be a distinction here between awareness of bad ideas, and engagement with those who just spew whatever indignant crap they get.

William of Rubruck's Account of the Mongols
The common thread is that all the behaviours relate to Darwin's grouping concept of self-awareness, and further serve to act in an inhibitory fashion. There might be other forms of positive or reinforcing senses or emotions also reflecting self-awareness: pride, confidence, self-assurance, patience, say, though some of these move from emotion to personality.

I'd also caution about presuming Darwin had this all right, He was the first (AFAIK) to write on emotion as evolutionary adaptation, and certainly made errors or omissions. Classification of emotions remains very inexact.

But the discoverer of natural selection deduced the evolutionary role of emotion, suggested a deep significance and innateness of them, and specifically names and discusses the emotion you've very lightly dismissed.

You should probably hear him out.

I have a child who is entering his senior high school year. This is very interesting to me in terms of thinking about which schools to apply to. I know this is not for 2021, but I think everyone realizes what happens in Fall of 2020 will have repercussions in Fall 2021. Does that make sense? I can elaborate.

Also, I agree this is not close to comprehensive, but the best I have seen. If someone here can keep a more comprehensive status I promise you many parents would pay something for access to that status.

This is harder than it sounds because the bottom of the market is often well below a minimum viable level, to the point that you're actively making learning harder for yourself if you go there. You might not feel the difference between $100 and $1000 shoes, but Walmart has $15 shoes which are probably bad enough they make it harder to start running and learn proper technique.

I've experienced this pretty directly with skis. If you get the cheapest boots and skis you can, you'll find it harder to learn, to the point where your feet hurt at the end of the day. I pretty much associated skiing with pain until I got decent equipment. There is a level above which it isn't worth spending as a beginner, but it's a level that looks high to people on the outside.

These days, I don't look for the cheapest tool I can find, I look for the cheapest tool people seriously use—which is often 5–10 times more expensive than the cheapest option. I've had enough experiences in the past sabotaging my own progression with awful tools that I know it's not worth it.
Another comment mentions that exceptions made to recognize those areas' athletic commissions more than 30 years ago were grandfathered in.

This really seems like a case where you ought to either ignore the rules, change the rules, or investigate if the Iroquois had some athletic body that ought to have been recognized 30 years ago and correct that oversight. What harm does letting the creators of the game play under their own banner do?
HN or how to get downvoted by stating basic sourced facts.
I blame social media and mass low resolution consumption more than I blame smart phones for the shift in the media industry.

If I zoom in to almost any cell phone photo, it's no match for a professional with a larger format sensor or studio with lighting.

But those details are lost.

The appreciation for the craft has also faded. With so much media to create / consume, the bar has lowered across the board.

But industries that used to be profitable are hard to break into now. Food photography is a prime example. I recently did a shoot with a company and their chef convinced them they could just use cell phones in the future. I can't argue it. If the only place you're publishing to is 1800px and the content exists for 1-2 days on the front of your feed, it's pretty hard to justify a full crew and big production shoot. You have to really see your media / product as an investment and be gunning for a bigger picture to really gain a value out of a larger media operation.

Why do American people put up with the authorities breaking the law instead of simply having the law changed? The constitution is not a bible, it can be updated. (Or, perhaps, it is indeed a "bible", in a sense?)

And, incidentally, the constitution says nothing about hunting, sporting, or even self-defense as the "legal" justification for gun ownership.
Tech Talent – Developer Data on Demand
Is it possible that the timeouts was due to cloudflare blocking some user agent, maybe the browser integrity check/bad browser detection? When the api is used in a web browser, there was no reported issue with latency/timeouts from users and logging. the latency is not much different than without proxying on my end. but when used in an android and ios app with custom user agent I did see occasional large latency and the some users reported random timeouts. Unfortunately I didn't test updating the app to use chrome user agent and simply turned off proxying for that api server (and other api servers that used by non-browser clients). It was happening last year though, I haven't try it again yet.

Mental health Tangent-

I wonder how far the American Medical Association/physicians have set back medical discoveries.

The traditional solution is Drugs. Some recommend exercise (although a friend recently couldn't get a prescription for Physical Therapy until after trying steroids for 2 weeks). Even fewer recommend diet changes.

Could this breathing method be a drug free solution to various psychological disorders? (Don't get me wrong, people may need drugs, but it's something to consider before a Physician gets someone addicted to Drugs for the rest of their life.)

It just seems like every industry has made huge strides in technological progress and scientific knowledge, then you have medical which is still unknown. Engineering and Medicine are both applied sciences, it seems either bizarre or corrupt that medical is far behind and has low quality outcomes, despite high costs.
Universities are hurting for revenue and will be remote for the near future. A benefit to this: right now presents a unique opportunity to get a Masters or a post-bacc.

You can take classes without needing to move/commute to campus. Furthermore, given a work from home environment and a more flexible schedule, many people will be able to make it work without needing to quit their full-time job.

If I ran a struggling university right now I'd lean into this and still be open to applications for the fall semester. This could attract a lot of working professionals like me.

Your source generally disputes the framing of the book but not the facts. Do you have evidence that the facts I cited about Lincoln Hospital’s expenses, lack of accounting controls, and death and drug abuse rates among providers are incorrect?
I read the book it was pretty good. He talks about his experience and a lot of history of breathing techniques and at the end of the books has basically a reference guide and things to look up. Might be worth looking for a digital copy to just cut right to that.

This is why I think schemaless databases ultimately cost more time than they save. If your database is typed then you get a poor mans version of a lot of these kind of checks essentially for free. Otherwise it's very easy to end up with all sorts of inconsistent data in your database, which will result in lots of difficult to track down bugs which consume far more time than writing out a database schema.
