Points remove the subjective nature of acceptance process which makes it more fair. It is much fair than a old lady sitting behind a desk and judging you based on 10min of interview.

Yes. It favours the privileged but countries tunes the thresholds for points based on kind of people they want in their country. In the example you mentioned, more educated.
More fair than an arbitrary non-points based system Switzerland presumably has?

At least you have some agency in qualifying if there is a clear points based merit system around education.

Less so if it’s things you can’t control (country of origin, ethnicity, etc.)
Scott Adams seems to be pretty divorced from reality, so I would take his ideas with a pinch of salt.

(To clarify: He's also claimed that if Biden wins the election, Republicans will literally be hunted in the streets, and I think regardless of your political views that is pretty clearly not actually going to happen, so his ability to predict future events with any accuracy isn't something I'd trust. Source: https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/127831632504405606...)
Is it really fair? There are several countries with degree mills for things such as masters even when they do not show the competencies required for such degrees.
A good friend actually used June Advisors Group mentioned in the article a couple of years ago. The firm (really a sole attorney) sounded very helpful and got his business set up with a residence card pretty easily. IIRC it took a couple of months end-to-end.

Always has been.
From the underlying study, I wouldn't even assume that all of those 48 minutes are actual "work" either- they just use the difference between the first and last email sent in a day. The flexibility of being at home in many circumstances is a pretty big deal- I can spend 20 minutes getting dinner for the family prepped and cooking and easily make it up later, which I can't do at an office.
Slack - horrible search
I recently purchased a V10 (25mph max speed) for NYC. It is indeed amazing, but I don't think its accessible to most. You have to have protection gear which can be a nuisance, perhaps after you get confident you can wear less while being conservative in riding. But in general it's not nearly as safe as a bicycle.
That seems to be the only places where MBPs are almost part of the dress code to work there. The HN community has a disproportional representation of such employment, and sometimes the Apple echo chamber shows up strongly because of it.

It even happened at Microsoft until the Surface program was finally given a proper go ahead by Nadella. A lot of former MBP users seem to love the Surfacebook, so they succeeded in making a functional yet veblen good in the same vein that a MBP is.

Going from the title, it's all just a materialized Fibonacci Heap (though the abstract would disagree with me).
Sunlight shifts reddish as the sun sets and its blue light is Raleigh-scattered away by a thicker slice of atmosphere. This also makes it dim enough to look at directly. At its zenith, when the sun is whitest, it can't be naked eye observed, so the balance of subjective impressions is formed by late-day observations when its color is shifted toward yellow/orange/red.
It's the cache that makes this fast, not the higher clock higher voltage cores on an older process.

Not that x86 particularly in 2018 is the pinnacle of perf per watt but the power dimension is non linear on some of these variables and this particular benchmark doesn't happen to gain much from it.

I’ve definitely noticed shorter meetings and it is now more common to end the meetings when the topics are covered. However, there are a few people that I work with that simply must blather on until the schedule time is used up. Making up additional topics, begging people on the call to raise additional items which are always completely off topic and unimportant. Perhaps they are lonely, but it is especially annoying with video calls. I am going to get rude about it one of these days.
For fiction, I get more out of audiobooks than print. There's something about hearing a story, especially from a good narrator, that just sticks in my mind and affects me more.

For non fiction, I'd probably agree with your 80% number. I generally prefer print in those cases, where I can easily highlight important sections and take notes.
That is exactly right! What the paper says is that masks should be used when necessary and according to the case presented to the medical staff. Not all the time.

When you force people to use the masks all the time you are making the problem worse.
I had a therapist a while ago that spent a lot of time talking with me about how discipline and motivation aren't real. His point was that lots of people lose before they start by feeling like they aren't disciplined or motivated people inherently. And ultimately, the only way to measure motivation or discipline is to measure something else - "I was motivated to stay fit because I went to the gym"

He also spent a lot of time with me on understanding that motivation and discipline are most times just thin wrappers around what people actually want. Thinking less about "If I were just more disciplined I would be able to do this" and more about "If I actually wanted to do this I probably would", and then focusing on what you actually want, or why you don't want something, is probably a much more valuable of a use of time for some people than thinking about motivation or discipline.

I am not posting this to say "If you're a disciplined person, you're wrong" - but moreso "If you're a person that believes you struggle with motivation/discipline, maybe you can rethink those concepts".
The metaphor seems apt to me, if anything, we should have and do have a much greater interest in regulation of automotive products, which themselves are absurdly complex. How is a regulator to know about various emissions, chances of explosion/fire, engine longevity and warranties? Engines can kill you with fuel leaks, poor materials engineering, or unknown manufacturing bugs. I'd argue that your car engine is much more likely to harm you in a significant way. Car engines had, and continue to have, albeit at a much lower rate,issues related to these things, and we came up with various bodies to help manage it. The people writing the legislation need to better surround themselves with people to advise them on the topics related to Google and Facebook, that is their job as a representative of their constituents; instead they come to the meeting barely prepared and ask a series of poorly worded and unimaginative questions, showing they didn't ask their aides to do even basic research on their behalf, while Google and Facebook bring Harvard lawyers to their corner.
the paper shows a tripling of cases when masks are used though, it is not about tiny percentages.

I bet that the concerns of the average user are not really what 5G committee members thought was most important.
I'm reminded of the Jonathan Swift quote:

>Reasoning will never make a man correct an ill opinion, which by reasoning he never acquired

The problem that specifically deepfakes and generally fake news highlights is that the general public does not have the aptitude, knowledge, time, or motivation to be a true arbiter of facts. We have traditionally outsourced that role to journalists. As a society we have lost faith in journalistic institutions so the onus is now back on the individual. We need a way to offload that truth-finding responsibility back onto a third party that can be trusted. Any system which requires more aptitude, knowledge, time, or motivation from the general public is unlikely to work because lacking those is exactly what got us into this mess.
The idea of vehicle to vehicle communication is a bit frightening. Imagine the obscenities and insults you yell at other drivers, are now able to be communicated directly to the object of ire.
I think that depends on the apps you're using. I like his chances on the desktop switching being more handy than in app combinations.
Indeed, the paper is so valuable exactly because it looks at what happens when you force people to use the masks all the time.

The Value of Meaninglessness
What drives me nuts is RP speakers that aspirate leading H's but insist on using the wrong article before them anyway. And the Americans that foolishly imitate them.
I wonder how this will fare vs Starlink, which seems like it's trying to solve the same problem.
You really need to read the two contracts. One of them being an addendum related to COVID-19. That's why I provided links to everything. The only reason I had to summarize my findings is that HN limits posts to 2,000 characters...so it's hard to explore corner cases in an initial post.

For example, if we take the text you posted, we are looking at a 12 month unpaid pilot, during which you agree to grant an irrevocable (etc...) license to your IP that explicitly allows them to build, replicate and use your product without paying you a dime. Furthermore, you grant an extension of this license for 9 to 12 months (depending on how you read it) past the pilot period. And, to make it even more fun, you grant them the right to transfer this license to anyone else.

In our case the product is hardware with software and an ML/AI component. It represents a non-trivial amount of investment in both time and money --self funded. In order to participate in this program we have to be willing to watch a random entity reproduce our system and USE IT for basically two years, potentially without compensation. What do you want to bet that the market for these specific COVID-19 devices is very different 18 to 24 months from now?

And then there's the potential for them to grant our IP license to <insert large well-embedded company here> and effectively cut us completely out of the loop.

The more I read and extrapolate these terms the more they seem to stink.

To be clear, this compared cloth vs. medical masks. There was no “unmasked” arm. So the caution was of the “given the choice, choose medical masks.”
Also this measures auto-protective properties of mask wearing, not preventing spread to others.

This sentence seems like a bizarre non sequitur. Absent some explanation of how American Studies connects to CS (perhaps this is obvious to American Studiers?), it reads like the equivalent of "while backpacking through Laos, I realised the New York subway system was in urgent need of repair".
That is a pretty fantastic expression. I'm in IT, but I dabble in photoshop and was having fun making some silly photoshops for my coworkers. Word got out and suddenly I had a queue.

Starlink is going to dominate this. Cellular can't economically scale out to meet the vast rural coverage. There are still plenty of towns that don't have basic coverage even now, and to think that suddenly they're going to get 5G equipment... seems unlikely. Meanwhile, the Starlink satellites are up and base stations are in testing. Once they approve and start building out their ground stations, it's SpaceX's business to lose.
Does your Japanese permanent residency allow you to avoid paying American income tax, or are you still required to pay BOTH Japanese and American income taxes?
That was clearly a subjective ethical statement. The speaker would have used "ought" if they wanted to appear objective.
Starlink will probably do better than 5G for access to rural areas because you don't need to build out a physical cable. In highly dense urban areas with large numbers of simultaneous users, 5G is a better fit.
Beamforming uses less power on both ends. There’s a regulatory maximum signal power for both the user equipment and the node B, and sending a unidirectional signal uses less electricity while producing the same signal power in the direction of the beam.

I think this might have some use cases outside of running microservices, services, Docker / container images, etc.

For example, let's say that I'd like to compile some complex piece of Linux software, software for which I don't have all of the third-party software/library dependencies, and I don't want to download/install all of those packages on my desktop Linux computer, because they're only going to spam it up...

Well, it sounds like with a Nestybox -- I could install all of those 3rd party libraries/packages, compile the code (inside of the Nestybox), and then not have to worry about my main Linux desktop being clogged/spammed up by unwanted third party libraries/binaries/dependencies... is that true?

Will Nestybox work for the above scenario?

I learned this very thoroughly one day when I came across an interesting article outside of HN. I immediately went to post it on HN only discover that not only had it already been posted, I had already upvoted it!
I think the obvious issue with that line of thinking is “where does it end?” Do you have to own the hardware, or can you rent it? Does the hardware design have to be open? What about the network? Do you have to own and design that too? Presumably the idea is “as much as possible should be open”, but of course what is possible varies from person to person, and for many of us, a GitHub CDN is the boundary of “what is possible” largely because it is dramatically easier than alrternatives. So I don’t see any coherent argument in favor of the OP’s position.
It's hard to decouple "Nazi" from "German." Nazi is the native language abbreviation for National Socialist German Workers Party. The nationality is baked into the name in a very deliberate way. Sad to report, the party and its beliefs were widely supported among German citizens at the time. Its grip was broken by catastrophic defeat followed by occupation.

(To their credit Germans faced up to their history in a way that is relatively rare among nations. The Holocaust Memorial in Berlin is just one of many examples.)
I had sort of a similar revelation. I went from a normal American diets (eat whatever I want) to a low carb diet and my energy rebounded quite a bit. No more super grogginess in the morning or occassional heartburn. Decent energy all day long without the spikes from caffeine and carb loaded meals. The weight loss was a nice secondary benefit, but I wasn't so concerned about that.

"one gram of his weight over a kilometer of flat road at an expense of only 0.15 calories"? That can't be true. I weigh 70Kg, and I'm pretty sure I don't expend 10,000 calories riding a bike for a Km.
I just asked my 6 year-old this question.

— What color is the sun?

— White. (pauses...) But some people color it yellow.

— Why is that?

— I don't know, because it's a bright color. (shrugs and runs off to play)

It dawned on my that when drawing on a white piece of paper, it's not exactly easy to draw a white object without resorting to inverse video (coloring the blue sky in such a way as to leave a spot that represents the sun).
> 5G bringing enrichment via eyewear such that profiles of people you meet pop up

I don't see what 5g brings to this application. This could be a offline application with a one time face/profile database. More probably it would be released as offline face detection, upload face images to the cloud to match and get profiles. 5G has better dataspeeds, but uploading cropped faces over LTE would be fine.

Maybe you could use it more reliably at the ballpark where there's enough density to justify deploying base stations in the new high frequency / low range spectrum.
If something like k8s implemented comments as specific comment fields that would actually be pretty useful. The fields could be parsed and show in GUIs.
> Using the span of time defined by the first and last email sent or meeting attended in a 24-hour period

What a worthless definition. I often start my day with hours of development or debugging work that doesn't involve sending any emails or attending any meetings, so that would be completely missed. I can't be the only such person, surely.

On the other hand, timezone issues mean that I sometimes have late-night meetings, so I'd look really dedicated on those days. Of course, that'd miss the fact that I took time out to go shopping, make dinner, do some gardening, watch a movie, or whatever... all that now counts as part of my "work day" because of a late-night meeting.

Seems like they've come up with something essentially meaningless here. This "workday span" is (a) wildly inaccurate for anyone whose role is more than sending emails and sitting in meetings, and (b) totally ignores the fact that many people when working from home have huge flexibility to take breaks when it suits them.

Ah well... I suppose a publication "dedicated to the design and management of workplaces" has to try and justify its existence somehow.

The latter is interesting, as it also gives an explanation for why utilities might have liked non-turnkey contracts: any escalation of capital cost can be (and very often was) passed on to ratepayers. In light of this, what really nailed the first US nuclear age was the passage in 1978 of PURPA, particularly the part about non-utility suppliers.
