Yeah. The big question is "Just how much of the device is 'warm' while waiting for a warm boot?" I _suspect_ many people here could make reasonable guesses about the warm/cold states of the OS rebooting, but I'm sure far fewer people have the required knowledge/experience to even reason credibly about the state of the cellular radios (and probably the GPS receiver) when a phone is "warm".

(I could, I suppose, sit a spare handset next to an SDR rx, and watch it for cellular transmissions as the phone sits in "presumed warm" state. But a negative result there would not convince me it isn't still in some sort of "active receive" state where it could be remotely woken up by sending it somesorty of Wake On LAN equivalent in the cellular radio world...)
Teaching English has always been an option for people in your position, especially with an interest in languages. It lets you go overseas, spend some time in another country, and as you said... explore a bit to determine what you really want. The people I know who did that right after college came back fired up and knowing what they wanted, because they saw different cultures and got to know different people and it brought clarity to their own experiences and helped them focus on what they loved. I can't promise the same, of course, but if you just need time to think while being somewhat productive, such things are an option. (You are also correct that COVID might stop that plan. Time will tell.)

I recommend you don't get a tech job overseas, though, because you will burn much of your energy on the job, and not have time to explore all the other directions life has to offer. If after 6 months, you have no more an idea of what to do vs. today, that is the time to get a more typical job and start building a resume.

It also may be worth talking to a career psychologist. I did that when I was finishing school, and he helped guide me towards the careers that I both had talent for and would find enjoyable. That was almost 30 years ago, and I still read that report on occasion when contemplating career moves.
But the anti-maskers insist on having the right to not wear a mask in stores as well when the business has clearly marked masks are required and staff ask them to leave.

If the anti-maskers respected the rights of others around them as much as they insist on others respecting their rights, this would be nearly a non-issue.
This project actually started because of that haha. I've started off with a mix of obscure and commonly used icons, but I've got another 200 coming soon, and will continue to make more.

I'm also setting up the site with a request option. Just wanted to get the project out otherwise it'd never get out :)

Initiatives like OpenPCR went a long way towards opening up DIY biology to the responsible amateur and making it easier to start a DIY bio hackerspace for a region. Glad to see them featured on HN.
I always thought there might be value to having all threads rendered collapsed down to first-level comments.

All too often a first level comment will results in sprawling thread with hundreds of sub-comments. If you want to look thought first level comments first you have to scroll through that entire sub-thread to get there. Not so bad on the desktop but a bit of a pain on mobile.
Interestingly someone on this thread has boldly made the opposite claim, based solely on their own preconceived notions.
I could definitely improve the KS video and presentation a lot :)

And you are right, a likely good place for me to start, is in logging industry (forestry). Though, I was more hoping to build robots to create and maintain forests, not cut them down at scale more efficiently.

Making robots to hasten climate change may not be the right approach to solving it. Yet, the best customers I could get would be logging, mining or oil.

Since the press release didn't bother to, lets compare UC Berkeley's (UCB) admissions [1] to California's demographics (CAL) for 2018 [2], to see how much work on diversity they have left to do:

UCB % CAL % UCB/CAL
Black 5.04 5.51 0.92
American Indian 0.44 0.35 1.27
Latino 28.93 39.29 0.74
Pacific Islander 0.18 0.36 0.49
Asian 42.43 14.52 2.92
White 18.53 36.64 0.51

That's odd. The press release doesn't mention them doing anything about correcting the under-representation of white students, despite them being tied with Pacific Islanders for most under-represented. In fact, they're not even counted as an under-represented group (URG) in their tables [1].

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

It doesn't get a ton of attention in the article, but I think this starts to explain a little of it:

"Finally, it may be possible that a third variable affects the relationship of attractiveness and criminal accusations/activities. Socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and developmental advantages (e.g., nutrition, schooling) might be such factors.[29]"

Your physical attractiveness and the way you dress can both signal information about you. Rich & powerful men with status tend to marry attractive women, even if the men are not always attractive themselves. After a couple generations, rich & powerful families with status tend to have more attractive families. They can also afford better nutrition and educational opportunities. Dressing nice and fashionably indicates that you care about your appearance. While a few people can pull off the idea of someone being such a genius that they can't be bothered to care about their appearance, the general trend is that people that can't be bothered to care about their appearance also can't be bothered to care as much about other things, like preparing for work.

It would be nice if we could get rid of any attractiveness biases. I sure would be angry if I was disadvantaged in a court case because I'm not attractive. I would be extra angry if I was disadvantaged because my lawyer wasn't attractive. I have a feeling that just blindfolding the jurors or blocking their view would cause them to miss out on other important things like being able to see faces and reactions during testimony. At least if we know about the bias we can work to fight it in other ways. Getting people to "think slow" sounds like some Malcom Gladwell popular B.S. that has probably been debunked, but it's probably better than nothing, and any lawyer can probably work at getting juries to think a little harder.
Plus, Android has been seeing behind-the-scenes work toward both a desktop mode and a version of AOSP that can boot off mainline - both of which are immensely interesting in the long-term.

I can pass those, but I have personally interviewed and had them send 3-4 polygraphers, each one betting $10 bucks against the previous one that they could get a baseline from me.

The last guy seriously thought I was a plant there to discredit whoever approved me and called down to the local DMV to make sure my driver's license was real (it was) since he couldn't get a baseline on my name (three times)

> and slowly start building a new routine.

Something that helped me was instead of building a new routine, I went back to the old one but in stages. There are things I don't absolutely have to do, so they get tacked on the end and are optional so I can just skip them without much disruption in turbulence.
The problem with Python is that you have to bend over backwards to make sure everything you're doing is vextorized or the performance falls off a cliff. With Julia, you can just code naturally. It's really freeing.
Indeed. I always remember that when GW Bush nominated Harriet Meyers to the Supreme Court, there was quite a bit of sniggering in the media about how her outfits looked like they’re out of a Talbot’s catalog. Of course she was also woefully under-qualified for a SCOTUS appointment, but the way she dressed certainly further made her stand out as an outsider, even though she was working in the WH at the time and not exactly some random lawyer from podunk.
Very rarely does one find someone else commenting in a way that so perfectly mirrors one's thoughts. This is one of those instances, so thank you for posting that most eloquent insight.
Over the years as my email volume increased I did a lot of fine tuning to my email process (stars, labels, read/unread management, etc). Once it surpassed a certain threshold (maybe 250 per day), I just cut out email management entirely. I don't archive, I rarely label, I just go through the latest, respond to anything pressing, and if there's anything that needs further followup it goes to my OmniFocus inbox where I prioritize all my work.

Email is critical to my work, but gardening it is not worth the opportunity cost.
I would love to see a double blind study on attractiveness and job interviews, but this would be pretty hard to do (facial prosthetics?)

In growing communities I don't know that this is necessarily a problem for the incumbents.

What stops them from installing batteries in front of a base power plant instead of building more peaking plants? Wouldn't that be a cheaper way for them to keep up with growing demand?

You can also use energy storage for peak shaving on long distance lines (which might be to our detriment, as they may avoid building needed infrastructure, resulting in brownouts)
Oh, I see. But I suppose on a Pixel 4a you could configure both face unlock and the fingerprint scanner and thus get best of both worlds. I personally don't find touching the scanner to be a nuisance for case #2 since its location on a Pixel 2 or 4a's chassis is such that you can do it without fiddling with how you hold your phone (your index finger tends to be near the scanner during phone use, whether one- or two-handed, anyway).

It is unethical to have a study with a control group which involves a live virus.

There is enough evidence that masks are effective that they should be required until it's proven they are ineffective or the virus risk is reduced.

I wish I had any confidence that "need a warrant" didn't just mean "Do it without a warrant, and never admit you did it.

I actually just finished a stint of jury duty last week and got picked for 2 trials. A couple of observations:

1. One of the trials was an underage rape case and there was essentially no physical evidence. Mainly all we had to go on was 3 police interviews (2 from the alledged victim, one from the accused). As a jury, we relied on those videos to determine who we felt was telling the truth and the trust worthiness of what they were saying. I'm not saying this was a good thing necessarily, just an observation that this is what we did. I'd like to see the results with a parallel jury that relied only on written transcripts etc.

2. The judge actually gave us guidance at the beginning of both trials that in addition to what witnesses said, how they appeared to us (their demeanour) was also evidence that we could use in assessing the trust-worthiness of what they said. My understanding was that we should use our general life experience that we had acquired in our day to day living to assess the evidence of the witness. I guess there are good sides (eg. intuition based on non-verbal communication/body language) and bad sides (eg. biases) to using this approach.
I just transited through an airport, and it saddened me seeing how many people wasted perfectly good N95 and equivalents by poor fitness.

You can't separate the state and private enterprise in China because China is a communist country. That is not a conspiracy theory, that is how the country officially works.

What is really a cognitive dissonance are the projections free market capitalism onto China when China itself takes great pains to emphasise that it doesn't have that kind of system (through phrases such as "socialism with chinese characteristics").

Put your own house order. Invest in you national infrastructure and education. Level off ridiculous tuition and gate keeping of professions that essentially forms an aristocratic class. Introduce reasonable regulation of big tech and corporations to ensure they are of a net benefit to society.

Open wide the doors of immigration to top tier talent through out the world and ensure they can settle in the U.S. if desired without waiting lists of up to 100 years.

Restore trusts between government and the people through electoral reform that ensure a more proportional representation with respects to the demographic and population changes of the last 50 years.

Why is Covid out of control? Because nobody believes anything coming out the White House. If Trump said tomorrow there is a viable vaccine how much of the population will be willing to take it?

You know. The things that made America attractive in the first place. American strength comes from within. The real story of the last 20 years isn't why China has gotten so much stronger, sure that was going to happen one way or another but it's beyond your control. What you can control and should ask is why America has gotten so weak. Why out of a nation of 300 million with such great talent, the very best that could be found for national leadership was a failed New York real estate developer?

If you try to the bottom with China you won't win.
We have these things called opioids that are extremely effective at treating severe chronic pain but people decided weed was good enough because they saw John Oliver talk about it and that convinced them that depriving junkies was more important than ensuring patients be able to easily access the most effective medications.

I've actually spent a very large portion of time over the past decade helping seniors deal with scams, and figuring out where they came from. I trace back every scam call I deal with to how they got to it. Google is the top offender. And malicious, scammy ads that push malware have actually been reinstated by Google only hours after I've gotten a Googler to take it down.

Here are screenshots of malware showing on the top search I see seniors search for, tested just now: https://imgur.com/a/rIAMjpM

Google sells scammers the ability to squat the trademark of a competitor, MapQuest (very likely illegal in it's own right, no ads are served on a search for "google maps"), which is commonly searched by senior citizens. The ad is barely perceptible from a real, organic result, and claims to be MapQuest. And the result is a page that only functions when you install a malicious web browser on your PC.

What's incredible here, is that you'll blame Microsoft for your company's ad platform, make MapQuest look bad (because you served a fake MapQuest site to people looking for it), and promote Google Maps and Chromebooks as an alternative... all while raking in the cash from the scam ads. Google is a business that operates on the revenue from scams. Every supposedly good thing Google does, and every paycheck it issues, is coming from ripped off individuals. The entire product cycle and marketing direction reinforces this.

This search term has seen nothing but malware and scams since at least 2013. If Google had any interest in protecting consumers (or not violating antitrust and, honestly, trademark laws), Google would not serve ads on this search term, ever. Feel free to investigate this internally, I am confident nothing will change.
Wow, this is interesting... I wonder if it would be illegal to pretend to be a millionaire and then marry the ex spouse.

> physical attractiveness is highly subjective

There's always sociocultural dependencies and personal preferences, but beauty can certainly be quantified. Facial symmetry, body proportions, etc.

Of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but only up to a point. There are some markers that, when you increase or improve them, objectively increase beauty.

3 million Americans die every year in a normal healthcare system. Throw 2 million additional deaths (one of the early worst case scenarios) - hell, even 800k deaths - into a totally maxed out healthcare system, and you seriously think things are going to be all peachy?
Ahh, seems you are correct, I believe the 400k number was old.

5M cells is indeed a lot.

Having an exporter that could generate an SQL schema + API that replicates what the user's formulas did would be a cool feature, but probably very difficult. I could see building an 80% solution (for your internal use), then selling a consulting service to take your existing Stacker setup and turn it into a bespoke system built on top of a real DB. Presumably by the time the customer has enough records for that to make sense, they would have the money to pay for such a service.

Perhaps you could also offer an "archive your old data after $N years" feature. Maybe also sell snapshot storage, or allow the user to download the archive and save it themselves?

I don't know your tech stack or the business concerns in your space, but maybe that looks like generating a static site that bundles all the user's data, so it can later be viewed in a read-only format using a regular browser (allowing you to just scrape calculated formula values instead of having to implement the formulas yourself). I could see that being useful to a user wanting to pull up a record years down the line as it was displayed when it was created.
Well, to be perfectly honest, learning from home really has proved that we can actually learn anything and everything just by turning on our computers.
