If you believe that the organic neurons hold something other than just their ability to respond to chemical / electrical signals, and that the "you" is something more than just a collection of systems preserving memory and stories, then yes, parent post had a contradiction. I think there's a consensus among those commenting here that "you" are nothing more than the stories and information exchange stored in your connectome, and so replacing the individual neurons with exact copies will have no effect on the information-preserving role the mind plays, and the information-processing role the "thinking mind" plays.

My point was that we need to do more than just a ban.

> Chinese apps have always been a security risk

I don't disagree. But I find this phrasing a little unclear. National security and broadly speaking security are different. Indian apps and services don't fare well in the latter category.

> but there are alternatives.

Yes, but why haven't they seen the same growth naturally?
The top grossing page is filled with more Indian apps only recently due to the political atmosphere. What happened before?

Indian companies and developers have a cultural advantage and market understanding both of which are important for entertainment services to take off such as games. What's the reason behind the lag? Can you give examples of alternatives that were well established before this year?

> Mostly youth will be annoyed by lack of their favorite time-waster apps

This mentality doesn't help. This is discouraging individuals from experimenting with creative outlets in the country. That would have given us more Indian games opposed to china filling the market. E-sports is a big industry and is only growing. How do you expect anyone to innovate here when they are demonized by culture for taking interest in these games?

Surely, the problem is people aren't educated on topics such as addiction and they are considered as taboos.

It was at the same company. They expect you to discuss posting with your manager before applying. Even if you don't, the application system notifies them automatically when you submit a resume.

In this case the hiring manager called my then current manager to ask what was going on, why I declined (even after I already told him), and basically trying to make me look like I was wasting company time or being rude.

Luckily I got another call later that day offering me a position with a different team, so i didn't have to deal with either of these managers again. Although we are a pay for performance shop, and I feel like the old manager screwed me on my year-end bonus (target is about $7k and I got $1k) and this probably played into that.

Transient electrocardiogram (ECG) changes were seen in 18 patients, and long-lasting changes were seen in 5 patients.

The paper is full of other examples. I didn't know this as common as it appears to be.

Russia assassinates even unimportant people for revenge and intimidation. For instance: they hired assassins to kill a bunch of nobodies in Ukraine in 2016 because they'd helped supply Georgia with Ukraine-made antiaircraft weapons that had been used against Russia when they invaded in 2008.

Future of India, Jio edition

Once Jio is a monopoly, you'll have to get JioMilk from JioCow which'll be grazed on JioFarms using JioGrass in JioContainers. The cows will drink JioWater which'll come from JioMonsoon from JioRiver on JioMountain.

You'll also use JioApps on JioAndroid (* in partnership with Google) which you'll buy from JioMart which'll use JioRouter and JioFiber on Jio sim card, it'll use JioDart for delivery and the delivery guy will use JioHonda bike using Reliance for petrol on JioRoad (special roads to be used only by Jio Customers) breating JioAir (special air for Jio customers), biker will use JioGlass which'll connect to JioNet using JioVast for virus protection.

You'll also use JioVators in JioMalls to go up and down the floors watch a JioCinema in the JioMall, walk on JioTiles use JioRailings.

You'll get JioPlants from JioNursery which'll be plucked from JioForest growing on JioSoil.

You'll vote in JioElections using JioEVMs while standing in JioLines having a JioVoterCard while living in a Jiocracy.

It's perfectly reasonable that both terms are used. The article is talking about the bradykinin hypothesis as the basis of a theory of COVID-19 function.

Putin has been president since 2000 with 4 years break (16 years).

So technically he is not THAT bad in comparison.

If it was, you would expect the Russians to be doing all they can to find who actually did it, people getting fired, etc. Navalny almost certainly was under 24/7 surveillance. You also would expect the best doctors to be made available for him in Russia.

The government having a database of who has traveled to where, and when, and with whom, is something that can be easily leveraged to oppress or discourage the free exercise of a whole bunch of basic rights, like labor or political organizing, or investigative journalism, or whistleblowing.

Additionally, demanding ID to board a flight allows them to check against a "no fly list", an arbitrary designation they've created with no presumption of innocence and no burden of proof to be added, resulting in your effective inability to efficiently travel, with no legal recourse to regain this ability if you are placed on this list. Note that being added to the no fly list does not require a criminal conviction or even a basic legal standard like probable cause.

Imagine if you could be added to a "no drive list" without ever being accused of a crime or violation, and no way to ever get off.

Very interesting comment but I think the bit about Kashmir is naïve. Kashmir doesn’t want to reintegrate (“re”?) and India’s move here has been much like China’s in Hong Kong - a deliberate, authoritarian takeover.
It's pretty exciting to see new web browsers where the whole source is customizable without having to do a complete recompilation. I was just evaluating switching from firefox to qutebrowser. I'll look into this one too.

I see it uses webkit2gtk. I wonder how it compares to qt5-webengine, in particular with respect to the devtools. Since qt5-webengine is based on chromium, it seems preferable. Have you guys considered supporting alternate backends?

EDIT: Oh! I see you guys already have a repo for a Common Lisp binding to QtWebEngine.

> I'm both upset Google Play Music is going away and that it might risk YouTube Red.

What do you mean? YouTube Premium (“Red” is a legacy name from waaay back) won’t go away. When Google Play Music dies, YouTube Premium will instead pay for YouTube Music (the new, “equivalent” service) which will still be around.

Or am I missing something super obvious?
If you are curious: no, "новичок" is not derogatory. Much less derogatory than a "noob", anyway, and doesn't necessarily mean incompetence. Like, say there is a hiking club with pretty much the same people going on hikes for the last 5 years, and somebody joined this club last week — this person would be called "новичок" in a friendly manner.

So, yeah, "newcomer" is actually a good translation.
A better measure of state support for higher education is the fraction of the state budget devoted to higher education. I suspect that in California, even with the dramatic expansion of access through community colleges and the state university system, a smaller fraction of the state budget supports higher education. Medicaid and prisons are paid for first.
I think there's definitely some of that to it, similar to /r/askhistorians "twenty year" rule. older events/topics can still be very controversial though. I went to high school very close to the mason-dixon line. there were a lot of parents who believed the civil war was primarily about states' rights, and some were very upset at the school's coverage of the civil war and european colonialism/imperialism.

I get that schools (especially private schools) ultimately need to satisfy the parents, but it strikes me as a massive disservice that my peers and I were able to graduate high school without learning a single thing to contextualize the two defining current events of our childhood: 9/11 and the iraq war. the film charlie wilson's war was the best explanation I got until I was in college.

I wouldn't be so quick to point the finger at Putin or a government conspiracy personally.

HN is a great site to attempt to gain exposure and new subscribers.

I understand why someone would choose to post their content here, despite my other comments railing against self-promoters.

If you make it to the front page you will gain a great SEO boost simply due to the new links that pop up on dozens of HN copy-cats that exist elsewhere[0]

So, I say go for it if you have content that you want to share!

Ok. So I looked at the FY19 budget for one of the universities I attended and for the overall budget of $7.3 billion it's broken out like this (numbers are rounded). [1]

Tuition and fees -> $1.8 bb

Government appropriations (it looks like this is what you're referring to as direct subsidies?) -> $ 470 mm

Grants and contracts -> $862 mm

Sales & Services University -> $543 mm

Sales & Services Health System -> $3.3 bb

Sales & Services OSU Physicians -> $480 mm

Gifts and Endowment -> $380 mm

Negligible other items -> $100 mm or something.

So what subsidies are you referring to? Happy to look at a different university if you want to provide an example.

-edit-

Unfortunately I can't reply, but I'm not sure why you're only considering government appropriations with respect to tuition instead of the entire budget. Seems a bit selective to me.
China has invested into its Great Firewall, which is far, far better than the techniques most ISPs here use to block websites. Besides, VPNs aren't banned, and the government isn't cracking down on generic VPNs. It's far easier to get a VPN in India to browse TikTok than it is to get a VPN in China to browse Facebook. You can even see it in the list of apps that were banned - there's two literally called "VPN for TikTok".

It’s the classic toy example vs actual real world problem.

But there are people who struggle with the toy problems. I recently saw some code from McKinsey data scientists who apparently don’t care about any of the basics. There’s no indentation and variables are c1 to c6 style.

Sure, they bill by the hour so they shouldn’t waste time but it doesn’t take more time to do better than that. They have no excuse for shoddy code other than not caring or knowing about the basics.

Well Defined Learning Problem
How are you defining value? Sales for the 20XX were "disappointing" and so obviously the market considered these cards to be overpriced. However, the reaction to the 30XX announcement seems to be extremely positive.

Isn't the "value" of a GPU simply what the market is willing to pay for it? I bought a 1080 in May of 2016 for $599. According to the BLS CPI inflation calculator, that's approximately $647 in 2020. $499 for a card that is double the performance of a 1080 seems like a great value to me, personally.
Well, if you avoid those countries then you're only left with places where buying trains as you go (or a national pass) is more effective. In the Netherlands, easily available discount tickets will get you around far cheaper than Interrail (or a short unlimited subscription, also cheaper if you do really want that freedom.) In Germany, Interrail is really only cheaper if you want a last minute non-crowded ICE. A last minute crowded ICE won't have Interrail spaces available, and non last minute ICEs will work out cheaper to just book on your own. Non ICEs, you have plenty of options to travel cheaper, including the Quer-durchs-Land-Ticket, which gives you unlimited non-high-speed trains for a day after 9am.

If you do want a last minute ICE, then your best bet is the German Rail Pass, which has the unique ability to let you take any German train at any time, including ICEs, with zero reservations. A powerful pass, a bit pricey though (cheapest pass is 3 consecutive days for 1 youth, 139 eur, up to 15 nonconsecutive days in 1 month for 1 youth, 369 eur)

So, I'm not sure about the situation north(west) of the Netherlands, but for anything south or east of the Netherlands Interrail isn't super cost effective.

Thanks a bunch for the tip about non-London places in the UK! That's a golden tip, because train prices inside the UK are really extortionate. I'm trying to figure out if that only applies to the global pass, it looks like the Eurostar discount applies to other passes also, but presumably not the free booking on through the UK:

"Please note that journeys with Eurostar require a compulsory seat reservation and must be booked in advance. If you hold an Interrail Global or Interrail One Country - France, Great Britain or Benelux Pass you are entited to a special Passholder Rate. Simply contact Eurostar directly on 01233 617 575 to reserve (...and when booking, remember to tell them you have an Interrail Pass so you are given the Passholder rate!)"

I wonder if it applies to the Britrail pass? Britrail seems to be far cheaper than Interrail, 57 eur for a youth pass for consecutive 2 days...

Otherwise, the plain Interrail Great Britain pass starts at €166 for 3 days, and the Interrail Global pass €185 for 4 days within 1 month.
A lot of folks in here are pointing out that this makes sense because the kids get to wake up later.

We'll soon have some real data on this. California passed a law last year that requires high school start after 8:30 am. Schools have until the 2022 school year to implement the law, which means we'll have a natural case study as different schools implement it this year (once we return to in person school) and next year and the year after.

What about the people that go to bed at 8 and are morning people?
