You seem to be thinking of gender studies? I don't know much about that, especially in the US. It may be right to criticize that field and its methodology. Social science, however, also includes fields like psychology, history and law, all of which I assume you'd agree are hugely important for society.

Also, as I've mentioned in another comment, the article is not advocating for computer science and social sciences to 'become the same', but to improve communication and mutual appreciation and knowledge. (The title is a bit unfortunate.)
Has anyone ever told you that you're "batch it crazy"?
“Apple does an imperfect job of delivering that value proposition, therefore it should be illegal to even try” is quite the take. Keep in mind that there are huge confirmation biases here; when Apple blocks scammy or insecure apps before they even come out, nobody notices, but if they miss a single one, everyone notices.
I see that the humanities are continuing with their unexamined sense of entitlement to colonize other disciplines.

This obsession with teaching (tech) workers ethics is a bourgeois pastoral fantasy.

Someone needs to read some Foucault.

Your hostility is a little weird. Maybe you think *.gov are worse and should be mentioned before Google. That is a legitimate position to have.

On the other hand, Google drove surveillance vans all over the world, hoovered up people's home network wifi frames, and promoted the engineer who "accidentally" introduced that "bug". If that isn't circumventing a norm against wiretapping, I'm not sure what is.
This is an impressive letter. It makes solid points, and it walks the fine line between emotional and reasonable.

POWER10 Sounds Great, But
right.. when someone eats at a place and gives it a number of stars rating how good it was, it tells you the same about how good it is as instagram marketing. here's the point - you go to sf, get a place around you with good reviews, and the food is overpriced, overpresented, and average in taste.

The OP literally stated a reason to live in SF is the food. That's simply false. It's not poor quality, but it's no reason to live there. It's not better than in an average city.
Your comment is misleading. In no way is he taking credit for the founders’ work. He clearly says he was looking to fund someone in that space.
Maybe platforms should put in anti-viral measures, like only randomly promoting stories to the top? Fuzzing the number of likes and dislikes, reducing the importance of influencer?
so you cannot trivially go hit something with a ground-to-air missile.

why the downvotes? this was the actual stated reason when this was requested
honestly, i felt the same way after a good 15-20 minute read - I think it's one of those where you have to read it a few times, leave space in between, and Google as soon as you start getting confused

5 times vipassana, ive experienced ALOT of abuse as a child. It did make me raw... my inner child is very hurt ... that is truth.

Sadness is warranted and worthy, that is truth ... sadness is transient, that is truth.

If the world will deny my inner child and dismiss my abuse and rape as depression, i must stay with myself until he finds comfort in my arms.
They work better than databases for accessing databases - nsl.com has examples like tables.k , a reasonably efficient in memory ordered-and-mostly-relational database in all of 14 lines of K.

And a variety of spreadsheets, from 2 to 100 lines.

They were sort-of-ok for API access, but Shakti’s FFI is actually incredibly straightforward - comparable to writing a C extern definition only much terser (‘cause it’s Arthur...)
Extremely cool! Well done!
This is very cool! Do you think you could add a feature to move around npc/character pieces? Even if they were just coloured blocks, that's all I need now to run a basic DnD session. Add some dice too and I can easily run a Zoom DnD session.
The scale-up chips (used in the E950 and E980 only) aren't the only SMT8 chips. The scale-out chips (Sforza, Monza, LaGrange) can be fused as SMT4 or SMT8, but IBM doesn't appear to sell SMT8-fused chips for other parties.

If a given IBM server runs PowerVM, it's SMT8. You may find this table of mine helpful (assembled from various sources and partially inferred, so accuracy not guaranteed, but it represents my understanding): https://www.devever.net/~hl/f/SERVERS
That's exactly right, I should've been more astute to point out that it was Sphinx in my comment and dwell more on the general demeanor of the documentation with more examples.
I've actually enjoyed working from home for the most part over the past 5-6 months. My only main issue is that I tend to work MORE from home as you don't have the normal water cooler interruptions or group BS sessions about football or sports or... this or that. I'm hoping I don't ever have to go back to the office.

Worked from home for a few years in the old days but wasn't really disciplined to be very productive. Now I am.
It's bittersweet reading these IBM announcements. They clearly have amazing hardware, but I'll probably never get to play with it, since they make no effort to sell to consumers (unlike Intel, AMD, Nvidia, etc).
We ended up doing full-on homeschooling. Our local policies have them physically going in in about 3 weeks, or being "virtual".

We have a legally deaf-blind student that we feel will not be able to cope with everyone wearing a mask and having to be distant. (Under normal circumstances, he tends to get rather close in because he's trying to see you; he's got rather more European personal space sensibilities than American ones.) We also have a sneaking suspicion that "in person school" will last less than a week before someone coughs and everyone is sent home. (So to speak.) We think this is going to be a very unstable and destabilizing option.

The local virtual option was well established here before, but involves children sitting in front of computers for nearly the full 8 hours, as if they were at school. As adults, we're hardly willing to be on 8 hours of video call a day and asking for this from children is absurd. (I'm not too worried about the details of whether it's exactly 8 hours, the point is, they're clearly trying to function as a school day replacement rather than a school replacement; the two are not the same.)

I've also noticed my oldest is falling behind in math, because they're going just a touch faster than he can quite keep up with [1], and I've kind of wanted to fix that anyhow. I can see the memeplex forming where he realizes that there's no reason to put any effort in, because almost no matter what he does, the curriculum goes zooming on and gives him an OK grade. Even if we only do this for half a year or a year I'm hoping to have a chance to break in to this cycle.

At the moment I'm not focusing too hard on the "socialization" problem. Lockdown is precluding a lot of good solutions to that anyhow. We can address it more thoroughly later.

The main thing I'm having to reconsider is music. I still want to offer a music program, but now band isn't an option and/or is not a reliable option. (This is true even if we took the full-physical option anyhow.) We're doing a trial run of the home schooling this week (before our actual start date, so we can decide how we like it), and I'm considering trying to offer the kids some music programs involving instruments that are capable of functioning alone. I took enough piano that I could easily teach it; I'm also considering electric guitar as a versatile option that seems to have some passable electronic teaching options. (I feel like even on an instrument I don't play myself I can still fill in the gaps in such programs.)

To your point, and more to the dispute with Epic:

I’m sure you also want to make sure your kids aren’t spending all your money on dumb in-app purchases. Having a controlled mechanism for that provides an actual value to you, and letting companies circumvent it would make things harder for you. Are the fees for that mechanism fair? That’s a business negotiation.
100% - we use Rabbit internally for our own systems so it has first-class support.

I think maybe we should just list out the messaging systems we support on the front page, so you don't have to dig through stuff... Good point. Let me know if you've got any other suggestions.
I haven't read the new paper in enough detail to comment, but also mentioned is the Renner-Frauchiger paper, which Scott Aaronson heartily debunks here: https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=3975

The primary error there is one that people can't seem to stop making for some strange reason: if you don't measure a property X, and instead measure a (non-commuting) property Y, you are not free to say what X "would have been," and -- especially egregiously -- to use that to demonstrate a contradiction. There is no "would have been" in QM. Either you measure it or you don't, and even after you do, the value becomes invalid after it evolves or a complementary variable is measured.

Secondly, Wigner's friend was not a single particle. Asking what a single particle "experienced" only makes sense if you are a panpsychist (or "panpsychic" as amusingly misspoken in the article). In any case, it has no bearing on the essence of Wigner's question.
I might just do that; though you should see my list of side projects. There only so many hours in the day.
The Complete Guide to Agile vs. Scrum
Since this is a recent release from the house investigation, I'm not sure if it should be marked 2015 or not. But it was sent in 2015. I also wonder if it had any affect. If anyone knows more details, that would be great to hear.
"Using an analogy like a drunk uses a light post, for support instead of illumination." is still one of my favorite expressions. It really is amazing how often people believe that having an analogy is evidence something is true. Analogies are great for helping people understand each other, but they have to be one of the most abused rhetorical devices.

That's certainly an option. Depends on your requirements and how much you use the vehicle. Renting does have some friction associated with it but, if you're only going to use a car a couple weekends a month, don't have dedicated parking, and don't need/want anything special, it may well make more sense to rent.
Or they’d install better public transit and monitor air pollution more carefully.

> I think 'too simple' is like what some search company CEO said to Larry Page about page rank being 'too effective'

This is fine for search results. It is NOT fine for complex financial instruments where people can lose money.

There's only so much you can 'simplify'. In this particular case, you can only make the UI itself simpler and easier to understand and operate. They can't make options trading itself any simpler. In other words, they can't make the domain itself any simpler by just throwing UX at it.

Specifically, they can't make it any simpler by hiding information. The information is needed. This is why other trading platforms look 'busy'. Because trading options is not simple. Pretending that they are only lead to losses.

You seem to not be interested in living with your right to install any app you want on your device, which is fine. But do you also believe that other people should not have the right to install software that has not been blessed by an authority on their devices?

Do you think that general purpose computing devices, which an iPhone is, should no longer have the capability to run software without third-party auditing and approval?

You are free to stay in the walled garden if you wish, but I think there is something disturbing about rallying for others to also lose the rights that are not important to you.
No worries. The line is a bit arbitrary to draw, but we have to draw it somewhere or else every post would be a Show HN.
I've been in Dallas since '07, and I still don't understand the school system / hierarchy here; but it is fascinating when you look into it.

Big money seems to go to Highland Park (public, but not Dallas despite being surrounded by it), or private (St. Marks, Jesuit, Hockaday). The fascinating part is when you look at school data, there are some stellar elementary schools in areas you wouldn't expect (lakewood), but the same area has sub-par middle-schools. I've known parents to send their kids to public elementary schools for this reason then put them in private afterwards. Then there are the magnet schools which is where my eyes start to cross and I lose interest (why is a 7 year old going to an engineering oriented school? Shouldn't they all be exposed to this?).
The same way that GMail isn't really "free", that 30% tax doesn't come from Apple or the Developer's pocket, it ultimately comes out of your pocket.
The goal is general welfare, not at the expense of wasting money or taking more money than necessary from the rest of the population. This is exactly what Zakat establishes.
There’s so much to be said for voting in person, the reason you stated chief amongst them. However, attending to the polling place on Election Day is very healthy for a community, IME. Also, there’s something virtuous in expecting people to get their shit together enough to walk in on Election Day, so long as early voting is there to accommodate those who cannot make it that day.

The rush to vote by mail (with risk of ballot harvesting, which I saw in my own city (a Republican incidentally) and online voting (with associated risks) seems foolish to me. The secret ballot, completed by oneself in guaranteed isolation, is the pillar of my confidence in our system. Pandemic be damned - it’s not a severe enough crisis (by the number of deaths) to warrant overhauling the system the night before. Feels very much like a useful opportunity to advance an erosion of faith in the electoral system. If I were Russia or China, I would be looking on at the discord with glee right now.
I grew up in an exburb of what, at the time, was a 3rd rate city so I sort of understand what you went through. That said, it wasn't hard for my family to expose me to big cities via travel. I definitely missed out on college prep, but that was a failure of my family's culture and not something I would blame on my location. I was actually able to rise to the top(state electronics competition) thanks to being a big fish in a small pond. In most major cities I never would have gotten that far.

There's nothing about living in a smaller town that says you have to compromise the expectations you set for your kids. For some reason, native-born Americans often fall into that trap, while immigrant parents understand and push their children regardless. Moving outside of a major city isn't about completely giving up, its about choosing a different track for your life.
The regulations around ADS-B are pretty weird, basically because the FAA wants to require it of all aircraft but all the aircraft owners object because it's pretty expensive to install it. So the FAA has kind of been taking a "death by a thousand cuts" approach where they never quite "mandate" ADS-B but they require it in more and more situations...

So aircraft are perfectly allowed to not transmit ADS-B as long as they stay out of certain types of airspaces and outside of a certain distance of other types of airspaces and etc. So the effective result is pretty much that you need to have ADS-B if you ever want to land at a controlled airport but the details get a little weird.

These rules have also been changing reasonably quickly in federal terms. The current set of ADS-B requirements only took effect the first of this year. Among other things, these rules require that any aircraft equipped with ADS-B out have it turned on at all times... but that's only been the rule as of recently (not sure if this revision or the previous one), so not that long ago it was acceptable to turn it on and off if you were outside of areas where it was required.
Looks like STEMvy acting up again - trouble with jobs in sector again? My mind may be frayed cynical but this bears resemblence to the same old bullshit of previous decades of academics politics; trying to bully their way onto the gravytrain while calling it "interdisciplinary" but only adding one STEM course at best while treating them as the well of all evils in the world, something they should certainly know better than given evil long predates the accused. The "Science wars" for one. I guess it is time for shitty remakes again there too.

Seriously, there is the same pattern of vague claims to benefits, one-sided elective requirements while poisoning the well to call anyone who disagrees with them close-minded and evil. Sadly/fortunately interdisciplinary never explicitly teaches this sort of bullshitting. Sadly because it could be useful in these fights, fortunately because we are all better off with a minimium of this crap wasting our lives.
That would be true if it had actually happened, but it didn't. What happened is that someone faked it to exploit people's desire for such a thing to happen, and then used the claim to get a lot of attention, including getting some journalists to write about it—whether because they actually believed it, or simply because it was such an attention-getter.
Well now it would be rude to not try.

In the spirit of "those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable," and all.
At the few socially distanced gatherings I’ve been too, as well as when running into people in the streets, there’s been a lack of the usual nuance and care that I typically expect. That’s mainly expressed through less careful filtering, either of direct content or indirect content. E.g. evidence of marital strife that would normally be papered over more effectively might come out. Words are chosen less carefully causing unintended meaning to leak out. What might normally be a ‘we’ turns into ‘me’ and ‘her’.

An example from this weekend, I ran into a colleague in town who is having a hard time - his roommate moved back East in May and the core parts of his social group are either immunocompromised or left the area shortly before his current absent roommate moved in. He was having trouble masking how anxious he was. There were untimely interjections. He mentioned wishing he could talk to people who didn’t work for our company - it’s a company town and no one our age/socioeconomic class (that’s an ugly thought but I won’t go down that rabbit hole) works anywhere else. I would expect him to be more nuanced in expressing the idea of hating small talk with people that work at our company, given we were actively making small talk and I work at said company.

Maybe serious is a stretch, but I’m seeing the typical CS/engineer social deficits expressed in people who are in sales/management roles and in people who previously were more capable. It probably wouldn’t stand out in San Francisco or a tech school campus, but in my current circumstances it certainly does.

This isn’t a judgment of anyone involved - everyone I’ve talked about I love to death. As a socially awkward person myself, I tend to love and appreciate other socially awkward people. They just might run into challenges when the stakes are higher.
Well, he's not wrong.
Is anyone surprised? It's a case for a psychiatrist. The recent speech of this jerk is complete demagoguery which also shows how scared he is.

And he is not a president anymore, even if he calls himself such.
Reconstructing My Father
That seems like a very unwise thing to say during mass protests.

Edit: he’s also giving up all pretense of legitimate, democratic rule, which is interesting. I guess with the mass protests the “we won 80% of the vote” lie finally no longer held any water.
Not to mention that with so many people laid off, Management easily can think, "We'll just hire new people. It's a buyer's market." ...Though I'm not sure it actually _is_.
I read it was discovered in a Chinese lab that did studies on animals. Then, the dead animals were sold to the Wuhan wet marketing knowing that the animals had disease. Is this not true?
Which is silly, because ground-to-air ordinance could just listen on ADS-B RF itself for the target (you too can listen in with a software defined radio if you're in the vicinity or have gear that can listen in the area). It's security theater, not an actual mitigation against a threat actor with access to an anti aircraft weapon.

For anything not broadcasting ADS-B, you can use multilateration (time difference of arrival) to determine positioning of dumb transponders. Flightaware does this [1].

People don't get the console difference

I have a PS4

I can buy the game digitally from Sony

I can buy the digital code which activates on PS4 from Amazon or sometimes even straight from
the publisher

I can buy a physical copy from countless retail stores both off and online from Walmart to
BestBuy to Amazon to Gamestop

I can sell my used physical copy on Facebook Marketplace, Ebay, or Craigslist

This is the difference. And it's much bigger than people realize.
Yeah, I'm largely joking here, as I've seen a C172 in livery of the state police here before, and I don't think it was a new one either. The cops have payments to make too.

I really admire you for doing this on your own with kids in a small apartment. Does your teacher use zoom?
