> Einstein was nearly 40 ... extremely out of the ordinary.

Over all Nobel Prizes, it happened around 1/3 of the time. In Physics since 2000, it happened 80% of the time [1]. Care to rethink this claim?

Have you read the original papers? I have. Do you understand the math, and can do calculations related to relativity? I can.

Again the claim General Relativity was not being solved by others? I just demonstrated Hilbert was right on Einstein’s heels, with a paper published right after Einstein, with the same results.

Why stick to that gun when I just cited the evidence, that you can check yourself? The original papers are both online for you to read.

Einstein and Hilbert even worked quite a bit together on it. Of course Hilbert was interested and working on it too.

By several decades do you mean a few months? Is this time dilation?

I get the feeling you do not know either.

Modern fluorescent and LED lamps are around 10-15 Watts. So you could run 4-6 of them on a circuit.

The other thing is price out Ethernet cable by the foot and compare with 14g Romex. The former is $0.05/ft vs $0.20/ft. And you don't need a licensed electrician to run it.

Also PEO is low voltage and power limited, so safer.

It's unfortunate that they bought and destroyed Keybase [1] in a bid to improve their security and even still there seems to be no improvement. Guess even the best folks can't make an impact if company culture prevents it.

* they are going to use "other tools" to stimulate the economy (QE?)

Ikea seems to have a relatively new effort to do these kinds of collaboration.

The other one i’m aware of is with Teenage Engineering https://www.ikea.com/us/en/news/frekvens-limited-collection-...
Aspect I like most: Communicate the solution. Draw lots of pictures to standard models, maintain many views to cater to different stakeholders and relentlessly communicate the solution.

Most architectures fail at integration points. so focus on interfaces first. The way to build acceptance is to distribute ownership of various aspects of the architecture across the team

How to evaluate the architecture and your own effectiveness - The product is delivered on time and within budget

Identifying key requirements
- Strength (NFRs)
- Functionality
- Elegance (Documentation, clean code, multiple visual models)

The architect should know the cost of building each and let stakeholders decide the priority. If the arch believes the choice is wrong he/she should challenge that but understand that politics will decide the choice. In which case document and move on.
When's the last time we didn't lose every violent international confrontation we were involved in? Also, yeah, the rest of that is both incredibly depressing, and of such a high plausibility that I can't see another way of it turning out. Pretty much like the US in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash.
Last time I used it was a couple of years ago but it was rife with incompatibilities between versions. Make no mistake, it was still a huge step forward for academia as the alternative was to manage all algorithms individually and design a transport layer yourself, but as a software developer it feels like it was lacking in terms of good practices like backward compatibility.

From a business perspective, ROS is an open framework, which is a plus only if you are in a specific perspective. Many robotics company still think in terms of walled gardens and hope to sell full solutions to clients, not have to support just a module in a complex environment. I would say that what ROS is lacking is a competitive marketing advantage. If ROS was promoting its brand and offering access to clients for companies that support it, it would help a lot its adoption.
Two things can be true at the same time.

The other thing thats true is that the most wealthy corporations on earth have twisted language and law to make these breaches of their [bank] security the failing and responsibility of the individuals who trust the bank-- or, often didn't even have anything to do with the bank (in the case of new lines of credit being opened in your name at a different institution)

Don't forget about CSS.
Since it's easier to learn than to unlearn, do yourself a favor and start at https://every-layout.dev

Full access to the site / book / codebase costs $100, but the free content alone is worth more than that. Can't recommend it highly enough. Axiomatic CSS, composable layout primitives, and profoundly well-researched and -designed solutions to myriad real-world problems with accessibility and maintainability...

I've been doing web-related stuff for a living since 1998, and have literally never encountered a better resource for getting the hardest part of FE dev right, using standards and building up from first principles.

PS The site's examples implement layouts using HTML and CSS, and the paid version includes a Web Components implementation (trivially translated to React, or integrated / embedded w Vue).

This is prima facie distinct from a negotiated deal in that apple created a category for amazon, announced it publicly, and have other minor companies in that category too.

To pull that off, they'd have to (technically) process the card info, which puts them in the scope for PCI compliance. By that point, I don't know why they'd send card info to 3 processors especially when they know, at that point, which processor they're gonna process it with. It would just make more sense to send it to the 1 processor the code ends up deciding to use.
There is definitely a distinction between immigration policy of people coming into your country vs rounding up your own citizens.

So, we now just have to believe everything China says because the US isn't perfect? Germany and many European countries have camps for refugees from the Syrian war, but that's not even remotely the same as taking your own citizens into camps and harvesting their organs, hair, etc. Not even close. I am so tired of that comparison, it's lazy whataboutism without even thinking about the context or extent.

I live in a cheap countryside in Japan, doing remote consulting for deep learning and robotics. Your post was really interesting and I'll look into Upwork and angel.co. So far I have found my project in the old school way: go to events, talk with people, but mostly use pre-existing connections. However, since the pandemic, I try to avoid meetings and the projects are a bit harder to find (I have been blessed in the last few years that projects seemed to find me rather than the opposite)
Definitely a bet. But as a user, and observer of the org, I would buy equity. Who knows what the future brings but they have been doing all the right things and...the gut likes them.

This is it for me. I get culture shock every year visiting family in suburbia where walking down to the shop to pick up milk is an hour long affair. When the reverse happens there's a lot of whinging from the kids having to walk instead of being oblivious in ipad land while they're magically transported from place to place.

I've always found it unfortunate that regional areas don't have walkable densities. An fast internet connection with a few pubs, restaurants, shops within a 10 minute walk is all I'd need to relocate in a WFH world, unfortunately few places seem to offer this and those that do tend to be expensive coastal towns.
Pretty sure if a company intentionally refuses to enforce a provision of its terms (rather than not realising), it would be a bit more of a legal tangle if they decided to arbitrarily rely on said provision one day to cut ties. So I don't think that'd work.

I don’t think there is as quite widespread consensus that all federal crimes are legitimately crime as you seem to think.

Marijuana sales, for example, seem extremely popular.

Just because there’s a law in place at some remote level of jurisdiction doesn’t mean it’s just, or has popular support.
How so? Any examples?

Front end is generally pretty robust these days. Especially with cash grid and flexbox.

How does Apple differentiate sales from a browser-app and an app-app?
CU Boulder study on why people share fake news, and who does so the most
Abstract- "Recently, substantial attention has been paid to the spread of highly partisan and often factually incorrect information (i.e., so-called “fake news”) on social media. In this study, we attempt to extend current knowledge on this topic by exploring the degree to which individual levels of ideological extremity, social trust, and trust in the news media are associated with the dissemination of countermedia content, or web-based, ideologically extreme information that uses false, biased, misleading, and hyper-partisan claims to counter the knowledge produced by the mainstream news media. To investigate these possible associations, we used a combination of self-report survey data and trace data collected from Facebook and Twitter. The results suggested that sharing countermedia content on Facebook is positively associated with ideological extremity and negatively associated with trust in the mainstream news media. On Twitter, we found evidence that countermedia content sharing is negatively associated with social trust."

You can get a ton done in Typescript or Python or Ruby. And in addition to type systems being developed to assure type safety in the most dynamic of languages, you also can write tests and draw on the community knowledge of countless programmers who know your language. Obviously if performance & certain performance first libraries are first priority for you, choose a very computationally efficient lang. But it’s a toothless argument in 2020 to say when following best practices you are inevitably going to write flawed, incorrect code because you’re starting in a dynamic language.
Especially when you consider the software and design of Zoom, poor engineering culture sounds like the more realistic answer.

Normally the US Fed has the following four tools at their disposal: the discount rate, reserve requirements, open market operations, and interest on reserves.

But now due to a very florid interpretation of the CARES Act [0], the US Fed has decided it is legal to buy both corporate debt and stocks[1].

This helps explain why the market is on such a bull run. The Fed has said they will be bailing out 401ks. The republicans (who would normally abhor this type of fiscal overreach) are delighted and the democrats don't know enough to read the writing on the wall.

I think hacker news users tend to be cynical of the federal reserve and the mechanism of zero interest rate and the apparent money printing. For this catastrophic event however, Federal response has been pretty appropriate.

1.) in consideration of American citizens whose vast majority have student loan, credit card loan, or home loan, and was suffering from them, the zeroing of interest is appropriate here. (Also the administration’s postponement of loan repayment) And the Main Street was crying for it. That means the fed did listen to the American people. Folks have to remember that a lot of industries were decimated here.

2.) in the face of attacks from COVID - and in a sense the Chinese government, with their withholding policies on the deadliness of the virus, withholding of masks and medical supplies, and some Scientific theories say, the actual Manufacturing of the virus. And also attacks from the US internal unrests and rioting - and in some ways, attacks from democratic mayors and governors against the president, in letting the protests go unabated - the response from fed has been very appropriate.

And even if the majority of the American people didn’t notice the attacks and voiced it, the federal reserve surely did

After digging a bit more, I found a comment from a Discord engineer that seems to clear things up [0]:

> Another Discord engineer chiming in here. I worked on trying to fix these spikes on the Go service for a couple weeks. We did indeed try moving up the latest Go at the time (1.10) but this had no effect.

So I guess that means that there's a reasonable chance that they didn't see a fix on the horizon.

That being said, I have no idea if work to fix this issue was visible on Go's Github, so maybe the Discord engineers were unaware of said work or were unhappy with the pace of progress.

Kind of miffed at myself for missing that comment, since it directly addresses my question, but at least it's answered now.

Some of the buildings are very clearly used as detention centers. They've been confirmed by journalists, for instance. Not all are proven to be camps and just look like they could be. (I don't know why China would need so many guarded prison looking areas with thick concrete walls, but I'm sure someone could come up with a reason.)

I was talking about the other two articles by Buzzfeed. They interviewed quite a few people who were arrested and then released from these centers.

Also, there is no question (meaning China has admitted it) that China has a re-education and de-radicalization program for which they are detaining Uighurs (and others) against their will. It is part of their larger plans to sinicize Islam from what I understand. What are your thoughts on this?
