I believe the science is, unfair as it might be, that more attractive people are, on average, more intelligent, more socially skilled, more etc than the opposite.

What we find attractive has formed through eons of evolution, and we retain the preferences of those who managed to leave more descendants.

That's not the same as being more intelligent etc, but it's not completely unrelated either.
> States are going to have to coordinate with Federal ?

No more than they already do. I have to file my state and federal returns separately today (and I don't think that's different for anyone who has to pay state income taxes). It's easier because my state (WI) defers to the federal government for a lot of tax rules, but that's entirely a local decision.

If the federal government decided to make it easier to file your federal taxes they could just do it. There's no need to coordinate with the states (and I wouldn't expect them to).
Taenia is not uncommon in places like France that have more "small farm" production and sublethal cooking methods. A small risk to take, I suppose.

Enterobius is quite common across the world. It's also considered to be minimally pathogenic, so it probably is only treated in symptomatic cases.
I was referring to the general concept (e.g. think of OP's link), not Musk in particular. Edited for clarification, thanks
There are many scientific studies.

For all the variables, check table 1 of the following for "Zero-order Pearson’s correlations between facial appearance and health, with the corresponding p-values and sample sizes":

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5290736/

If you want more example for a given variable, for example the effect of adiposity (we know it's quadratic), read one of the original papers:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6308207/

All this is well known now, as the first study was about 22 years ago:

Perrett, D. I., Lee, K. J., Penton-Voak, I., Rowland, D., Yoshikawa, S., Burt, D. M., … Akamatsu, S. (1998). Effects of sexual dimorphism on facial attractiveness. Nature, 394(6696), 884–887. doi:10.1038/29772
It is relative. For people comparing to $1000 phones this is very "budget", compared to my Asus $250 phone that lives on average 3 days between changes, it is not. Compared to my previous phone, the Nexus 5X I bought for $350, it's in the same range, just newer. I see you are downvoted a lot, I disagree with this reaction.
You're absolutely right about the mess MS will face wading into the sludge of social media content. But that aspect of this aside:

Forget about Trump's dislike of TikTok for that prank, and instead think in terms of national security: TikTok was literally copying keystrokes on peoples phones and, presumably, using it for some purpose. It's not far fetched to think it was sent "home" to the parent company, which is obligated to turn data over to the Chinese government.

Making Microsoft in charge of it in the US solves that issue. This obviously introduces the issue of MS's data collection on users, but we already have that issue with TikTok, only with the downside that it may benefit a hostile foreign government.
Getting paid in full. Some people haven't paid at all. Some borrow money. Some have paid 95% but I still have to nag them for the last 13 months for that final 5%.

I would enjoy doing business if the work was just getting the job done and not worrying about the payments. I'd be very happy to outsource this to some loan collector, who'd deal with the whole process of threatening legal action, etc. But for the most part it seems like it would make things worse.
And cheaper too then trying to infer it from building out a huge home market. Smartphones are carried by everyone, and people are on them all the time.

HN commentators often have a naive idea that more data is always better.
I don't know enough about Qt to know if you're right or wrong, but I know enough about game engines to know that whatever Qt is or isn't, it doesn't negate the usefulness of game engines.

I have written a few 3D applications in both Unity and Unreal, and I can tell you that the cross-platform build process with those is impressive. I can package an app for three different platforms and get pixel perfect equivalent output and the exact same behavior on all three platforms without any trickery at all.

Qt probably also does this, and that's great! Qt existing doesn't take away from the utility of game engines, is all, nor the reverse.
On YouTube. I watch a lot of other content creators and anytime anybody makes something that wouldn't pass muster as a Netflix Original there are detractors in the comments. Putting yourself out there on the Internet invites criticism and at least for me, I have no desire to allow my hobbies to be invaded by outside criticism so it's not worth the effort to produce content about them if I know I can't meet the bar required to avoid the most obvious criticisms.
I love this short story, I think it's probably my favorite of his first collection. I think he does a great job of making realistic and compelling arguments for both positions and really exploring the details.
You don’t want to be a dressed to the nines Manhattan lawyer in a Texas courtroom (or really, anywhere but maybe Manhattan and Los Angeles).

https://abovethelaw.com/2017/05/at-lunch-with-david-boies-20...

Re: David Boies (who is a prominent Manhattan attorney):

> Part of the David Boies legend is his rejection of high fashion. He’s a millionaire many times over, and many aspects of his lifestyle reflect what I’m guessing is a nine-figure net worth — his primary residence, an 8,000-square-foot mansion on almost 10 acres; an $8 million pied-à-terre here in New York City, at the Sherry-Netherland Hotel; and a racing yacht, because you’re nobody until you have a yacht. But his wealth doesn’t go into his wardrobe. He eschews Prada and Patek Philippe in favor of navy blue suits from Sears or Lands’ End, inexpensive plastic wristwatches (worn over his sleeve), and what look like black sneakers (but are actually walking shoes by Merrell).
Wow it's a substantially different experience with most that i've been across here.

Almost every subbie I've met even those building residential properties have a few mobile apps for doc management and so many ipads for plan review\access\defecting

The last plumber I worked with had the quote in my email with updated pricing and online billing before they got back to their ute.
I think lawyers are subject to the biases, as well. Defense lawyers probably work harder for attractive people, prosecutors are probably less cutthroat. It's an intractable problem.
Have no other phones adopted the Librem 5's hardware kill switches for mic and camera and radio?

Sorry if that comes off as looking down on people, it is not meant that way, but I'm honestly a bit baffled how I meet many people to this day that still discover schema migration tools as something new/special instead of just learning it as one of the basic tools of a developer.

I haven't written schema migrations by hand on a regular basis in like 12+ years, the very start of my career, so they were probably not even new back then. Am I just living in a bubble where those tools, while certainly not perfect, are heavily relied upon, whereas others prefer to do it (semi-)manually to have full control? How is the state of these tools in different stacks / environments?
...any species...

There are at least 300 species from multiple phyla that feed on humans. We might also consider those species that feed on our livestock, although such an action would have less ethical urgency.

It isn't impossible that other species might eat them, but given their baroque life cycles it seems quite unlikely that any other species depends on them for survival. But sure, if people decide to start with tests on isolated tropical islands, I won't argue.

I mean, practically, once they've managed to kill audio jacks we'll probably transition to HDCP-like DRM for audio so that you need Approved(tm) headphones to listen to your favourite pop music. Once we get there that will be the feature for you ...
It's funny, in a society with an intellectual obsession with recognising and deconstructing systems of privilege, we largely overlook what is possibly the single most powerful inborn advantage one can have - attractiveness. It's rightly considered abhorrent that people could be treated unequally based on their race or gender, but I think that we are on some level accepting of the fact that attractive people have it easier in almost every field of endeavor.
Why not use a foxglove in the logo for Digitalis? Sorry, bike shedding, I know.
I use it a lot because I'm too lazy to learn new code syntax every time I work with new a framework or language. SQL stays the same so it's more transferable. Besides, once you become an advanced SQL user, you find queries that are harder to build using code instead of SQL. It happened to me a lot when writing Apache Spark code.
At a minimum, there should be a blind test jury in cases with over a 1 year penalty. Would give us useful data, and valid reason to appeal the case.
Likely a defensive acquisition for Microsoft. Facebook would probably be rejected from the deal for anti-trust reasons so it basically comes down to Google and Amazon that could acquire. So its probably Microsoft denying either of these companies the opportunity to improve their own social network brand while finding a way to pose future competition to Facebook.
And to generic android as well. I get that they want differentiation, but there's serious lack of other implementation in play store. For actually good hdr it looks like there's pixel or nothing. I'd be happy to pay quite a bit to get their new HDR+ on a OnePlus for example.
Hey wumao, weren't you going to show me some evidence of foreign companies winning legal cases in the CCP legal system? It would be really convincing if you found some evidence of foreign companies winning against chinese companies.
The Americans waited for their phones to develop a proper AI/ML model. The Russians used a bigger battery!
For one applications need familiarity and uniformity. Games don't. For example games have exactly zero accessibility support, system actually knowing about what is being rendered is quite useful for it to provide tools like voice over. What about IME?

> If we’re going to optimize ONE stack

Why would we though? There are different classes of applications and there are multiple platforms with different conventions. Different use cases require different tools. Every time something "to rule them all" was tried, multiple niche tools grown around.
I'd beg to differ--I'd say he was maybe _the_ original sexy young tech startup founder, and his appearance was integral to his success as a marketer, leader, etc.. A lot of his early publicity shots are smoldering, e.g.: https://manwithoutqualities.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/stev...

He was also 6'2".
Funny that while you are saying this, Teslas are catching fire spontaneously.
This carries the assumption that competence is something that is purely objective. I find it more likely that what is perceived as competence is still subject to bias.
I feel like humans are good in identifying privileged person and would like to think them different. If someone is dressing up perfectly but it is clear that the person is not rich/confident it will have negative effect than them dressing moderately. Some non rich born people are able to get in high societies but for most of us, it will be how you are born and raised.
Highly dependent on the profession. In programming, I agree with you. In my experience, there's a nearly perfect inverse correlation between how much they care about their looks and how talented they seem. But not in other fields, seemingly. I basically stopped hiring slovenly people in many things because of terrible experiences (real estate agents, plumber, house inspector). I guess the difference are things that can be done solely with the brain vs things that require some amount of physical activity. We programmers have it easy in that respect.
If you don't have money and don't have experience, you should try to get those two things quickly.

If you do, you will find that it's much more thrilling to travel and meet interesting people than it is to chain yourself to an unrewarding career path.

Good luck!
All these comparisons are misleading. I call "budget" the phone I bought for my mother for less than $100 (an Asus, for the matter) or the $150 Asus I bought for my father, you call "budget" phones in the $350-450 range that I would call mid-range. We may be both right, I guess.
I believe I once heard that people are better able to detect lies by reading transcripts compared to watching people. They think they're getting additional information they can use to detect the lies but it ends up being misleading.

Having trouble finding a source for it, however. Anyone?

Also, plenty in the legal system is already done on the basis of transcripts. This isn't an all-or-nothing prospect.
It's ok to be excited about stuff and to write about it.
Would it make sense to only censor the word if it's lower case?

I mean I still see no reason why a transaction shouldn't go through even if it had the word spelled properly. Black people don't have a problem using it (deservedly so!) and I there are contexts where it is somewhat acceptable to use it if only to refer to (for instance) a racist character in a novel.
I'm in Tasmania, so that gave me quite the giggle.

Yeah, well, Australian vendors are all trying to pay down their Toyota Prados and their seven rental property... so, fair go eh.

On a more serious note, where can I get the Pixel A4 locally? I check a couple online stores yesterday but didn't see it yet.
Thanks for the comments !

I try to answer to all together :

- "I thought it might be semi-automatic..." :
011.video is made modestly with HI (Human Intelligence) not AI. We have all used Youtube automatic translation to know how ineffective is it. By the way 011.video support a "Speech to sticker" feature on chromium browser (except on Edge). It's fun to add video/GIF/images on the fly, but it's not 100% effective as it depends on Google speech recognition system, your internet connection, your mic, your device...

- "...option to generate a separate WebVTT subtitle file..." :
Each SRT files or WebVTT files is linked to a video. As i said today AI automatic speech to text translation is far from effective. So if you want a clean webTTT file you have to make it manually phrase by phrase.

- "got the width of a smartphone, line are wrapped..." :
011.video smartphone / android app is not up to date. i will update it later this month after getting some feedback from the Desktop version online.

I’m eager to receive more feedback.
I wonder how automig compares to loading the schema definitions from git into scratch databases and feeding them to migra https://djrobstep.com/docs/migra
Can't TikTok just drag this along somehow till the upcoming elections? Trump has a very short attention span as-is.

I found it interesting that you are saying that HN and reddit are comparable things. I recently turned off both my FB and Twitter account (never been a user of reddit or I would have done the same thing to it), but still enjoy the time here and probably will keep browsing interesting news/opinions here.

English is not native to me. Even though I can read and write English article, the speed is just slow. To me, the short-term entertaining part of HN almost doesn't exist. I always have to be dedicated to some interesting but hard article to understand it in some degree.
Today I learned, thanks for the link.
Me as well - those who overinvest (as opposed to adequately invest) in their appearance seem to underinvest in their competence. Not always true, but a correlation.
like this https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-amazon-cloud/amazon...
> 0.x scope rules... In short, for non-toy programs, it's a significant source of hard-to-find bugs.

It seems like a lot of languages have lexical scoping which IIRC was what 0.x had. (Scheme, Lisp, OCaml are a few examples) Are there aspects of Julia that make lexical scoping particularly problematic? Julia 1.x scoping rules look similar to Tcl's.
That's probably because the game is not useless... for one side.

If you find a guy who is good at doing his job, but has no idea about its market value, and asks for half of what he could get, great! You just got a 50% discount. Imagine how hard he will work in order to get a 5% salary raise... which will still be a 45% discount.

If that guy is already working for you (with the 50% discount) and you post a new job listing for a similar position, with the offer of market salary, he may find out. And he will not be happy.

Why don't you simply offer 50% of the market salary? Because you do not want to limit your applicant pool; you need a certain amount of competent people, and they are hard to find. For example, if you need three people, you may find three that ask for 100%, 90%, and 50% of the market salary respectively, and you can hire all three. If you offered 50%, you would have only found one. If you offered 100%, you would not get the occassional discount.

Long interviews are usually more costly for the employee than for the employer. The employee usually needs to prepare for the interview, travel to the new place, and take the interview typically during working hours, which probably means that he needs a day off. On the other hand, the employer does the interview at his own place, during working hours, giving the same prepared questions to everyone, so the only cost is literally the time during the interview. So, if something costs 3 hours to me, but 3 days of vacation to you, at the end I can offer you 10% less than I think you are worth, and there is a chance you will take it to avoid having to do more interviews for 3 more days of vacation each. (Telling you my offer beforehand would save you those 3 days, so you wouldn't be so pressed to accept it.)

Probably a few more reasons I forgot now.
> They showed that magnetic field readings can be accurate to ten meters, only slightly inferior to GPS, which is accurate down to three meters

GPS is accurate to within 30 cm. My old team at Apple did this for indoor positioning. The challenge was that the mag readings can be highly variable indoors & don't have enough texture outdoors. It's interesting they've managed to get it down to 10m. That could be pretty valuable when you integrate it as part of your overall SLAM algorithm & to reduce the overall power requirements. Instead of having GPS always on, primarily use mag + IMU dead reckoning. Then strobe the GPS every minute or so to get a more accurate fix (GPS signal generally can reacquire within a minute of a previous successful reading).
For probabilistic algorithms, we can look at the worst-case-w.h.p runtime: that is, a randomized quicksort, although technically still having an "absolute" worst case of O(n^2), actually is considered to have a worst case of O(nlog(n)), with probability 1 - 1 / (n^c) when bounded by Chernoff, as shown here: https://web.cs.hacettepe.edu.tr/~ozkahya/classes/bbm402/Lect...

Hmmmm... physical attractiveness is highly subjective. What was the methodology for determining it? I didn't see it in the article.

And physical attractiveness can vary by setting. Dressing business professional helps attractiveness in a court room, but if you were dressed like a stripper, you might still be highly attractive, but cause a negative perception in the court room.

I’m a software dev with +7y experience. My primary focus is backend with Java, but I also work with ReactJS. I like to play with data, SQL/Mongo query optimizations and data visualization on fronted. I like to be up to date with the newest technologies on the market but on the other hand I’m not bored with the mature apps with not too fancy stacks. Shy on the beginning, but I’m a rockstar on closer acquaintance.

Same here.
But judge and juree make the final decisions, and the lawyer issues run much deeper in terms of inequalities. I don't think lawyer perception of client attractiveness is the core issue in this case, they'll (naturally) mostly care about their compensation. Prosecutors having a bias plays into the other -isms as well, perhaps a blinding system could be helpful as well, although harder to enforce.
H1B rules say you can't use the guest worker program to replace domestic workers. Willfully violating this should be a felony.
My rational faculties tell me that masks sure as heck work equally well or better than no masks. Also that there is no downside whatever to me from wearing one (ego damage doesn’t count — this is real life, not a game). Put those together and it’s my personal responsibility to wear a mask until the evidence tells us it’s of zero value. (Maybe it’s not clear: masks are to protect other people from you, not vice versa.)
