One of my favourite stories about André Weil from the book "The Music of the Primes" written by Marcus du Sautoy:

> He wrote to his wife, Eveline, on April 7, 1940, telling her, 'My mathematics work is proceeding beyond my wildest hopes, and I am even a bit worried - if it is only in prison that I work so well, will I have to arrange to spend two or three months locked up every year?'
Given how spotty it is, it might be some weird A/B testing. I’m also logged in to Facebook which might make a difference.

The fashion industry has huge problems. environmental damage and carbon cost of cheap throw away garments. slave/exploitative labor. copying. And so much more than Emily's story of huge problems perpetrated by a male dominated industry.

It's kind of shocking how big the male/female power differential is in both the number of men employed and the amount of power they have.

If you view fashion (especially photography) as art you can see parallels especially the high end fine art world. Gagosian was alluded to in the article.

If you're interested in learning more I highly recommend following Diet Prada and their new paid content!

They cover rape culture, racism, blatant copying (diet prada..), the environmental impact and more.

I'd also highly recommend reading the Diet Prada post which has a lot of comments and the disgusting misogynistic attacks from Imperial Publishing - the company that published a book of Polaroid's from one of the instances she details in her story.

They said "We are all deeply disturbed to read Ms. Ratajkowski’s latest (false) statements to NY Mag in her never-ending search for press and publicity,” the rep said. “Of course Mr. Leder totally denies her outrageous allegations of being ‘assaulted.’ It is grotesque and sad that she is so vindictive to lie in such a way to the press routinely.”
He won't do that. then he cant sell the data later.
When MS Office is written in JavaScript[0] instead of C, I have zero hope of the responsiveness problem ever being fixed. It’s only getting worse.

Also it's 48-bit just on current amd64 chips, it's not an architectural amd64 property - your binary is compatible with >48bit VA space of the future (unless you yourself misguidedly bake the 48-bit assumption into it). But I guess the point was to point out lower bounds.
I've been able to get some edits through only by making a blog post that had the text of what I needed to edit into the WP article so that I could reference it as a second-hand source -- thus doing the proper kind of rain dance to the WP bureaucrats. It seems most of the time the only way to get things to stick is find the right sort of rain dance the threats the loophole needles that make somebody not revert your changes.

Another ridiculous case I know about was where the leader of the team that factored RSA-230 updated the page with a reference to the announcement. It was reverted by an editor with the note "Wikipedia is not the venue to announce your own results." So WP went from having it listed as "factored" to "not factored so far" by the revert making it incorrect. The editor who reverted the change hadn't even bothered to check the cited source where the announcement was actually made. What even was the point of the revert? Why would somebody take time out of their day to make Wikipedia inaccurate over some perceived and misunderstood ceremony following to guidelines and process?

It's so much trouble to contribute it's just not worth it, I stopped contributing entirely about 6 years ago after a bunch of edits I wrote on a topic were merged with another one even though the two topics are different. After a few weeks of fighting I just gave up. Amazingly it was unmerged and most of my original text was returned, and then usefully updated by other contributors where it still lives.

Why bother?
Agreed - VRChat is very limited in Quest. But that might be the fault of the app, not the platform. Rec Room works pretty well, basically the same experience on Quest and desktop.
I'm just not sure that "demands" is the right framing here. This site is outlining a large series of policy initiatives, ranging from police reforms to housing and transportation policy to specific legislative process details. Such complicated changes need to be subject to civic debate, and compromises might have to be made to account for factors the organizers didn't think of or other groups with similarly strong beliefs.

From an IFS perspective, it sounds like DMT introduces parts that guide our attention toward the Self. That's different from regular IFS parts - protectors and exiles - that guide our attention away from the Self.
Great article! Will definately keep this hierarchy in mind when writing concurrent code.
Add to the other comments the signs and billboards advertising "we buy houses for cash, no questions asked" all over certain areas.

I take issue with that only due to the fact that WiFi doesn’t actually travel that well. If you are aiming one of these weapons at a wall, behind which there are people, from a distance of say 100 feet it isn’t very likely to penetrate and cause harm.

Seeing as how these weapons operate at 95ghz, their penetration capability is basically nil. Attenuation is a real issue with that frequency and those distances. WiFi works on 2.4 and 5ghz which already have some issues with penetration.

We have so much infrastructure that was built, and now we lack politicians who have any interest in communicating the need to maintain it.

Eisenhower started work on building the interstate system [1], but the components need to be maintained. Not just the surface roads and grades, but the bridges, engineered earth, and more. This costs money (and that money goes to the construction companies and workers who perform the work), but we have lost the national appetite for spending money on infrastructure, or really most things outside of the military, hence the relatively aimless goals of NASA (until Bridenstine, to whom I give a lot of credit for directing the aim of NASA, even if I might disagree slightly with his target).

The rural vs urban partisan divide is not some exogenous thing. It's only existed in the last couple of political alignments in the US, basically since FDR. It's entirely possible things realign.

You should read the whole article. On the whole it's about male dominated culture and control over powerless women in fashion (she is relatively very powerful and one of the few to speak out).

But to your point owning rights to your own image is the law in some countries like Germany

Two thoughts:

1) For some reason this thing gives me joy. Imagine sitting at work in front of one of these bad boy keyboards! You'd never get interrupted! People would assume you're running a battleship remotely or something!

2) It seems very Soviet. Or at least very 80s Anime - this is the keyboard we should all be using, only each key should light up in disco colors.

Yes, this is another useful insight. Containers suddenly make a lot more sense to me now.
I apologize that this adds nothing of substance to the discussion, but I wanted to thank you for your extraordinarily interesting post.
Criminally illegal.
Kind of like Windows requiring all users to use IE?
I would like to add to this that it's definitely not unique to the US. Growing up in Eastern Europe the attitudes of young people around me were very similar - you want to get out of the house ASAP. The age threshold would be somewhat higher (maybe mid-20s instead of 18), but overall trying to become independent and self-reliant was considered a virtue.
So these operate around 95ghz, roughly, from what I can gather. Sure you’ll get some window penetration but I still take issue with the “but the kids” tone of the OPs argument.

I don’t agree with use of these weapons, having been on the receiving end of RF burns accidentally myself, but pretending it’s because you care about kids is sick and seems to be a default go-to for most things.

If I’m not being charitable in my interpretation of OP, then roast me, but I get the feeling the sentiment isn’t particular about caring for kids and using it as a “but... but... but...” argument.

Interesting article, but I don't see why it's titled '0-day' when he references a research paper from 2012.

They are?
The images say the source is OECD data. The OECD tracks various indicators like this in a comprehensive database: https://data.oecd.org/

Social expenditures are here: http://www.oecd.org/els/soc/OECD2016-Social-Expenditure-Upda...

As defined by the OECD, social program spending includes social security, Medicare, and education (each of which are $700-900 billion expenses).
Most likely, what the comments are indicating is that you've been posting too repetitively about this. HN has a sort of immune system where, after a while, the outputs will get harsher if people feel like the inputs have been too repetitive. The currency of HN is curiosity (a.k.a. intellectual interest). Your desire to improve your situation is certainly understandable, and even laudable, but that doesn't automatically gratify the curiosity of others.

If you re-read your post closely, you might notice that it mostly talks about how much you've achieved and the things that you want for yourself. Those achievements are great! and you have every right to want those things for yourself! but they aren't the sort of things that readers find interesting. You might get better results if you focus on what other people want more than on what you want. (This is a lesson we all need to work on.)

On HN, focusing on what other people want means focusing on what they find intrinsically interesting. It's actually hard to do that if your primary goal is to get users or press coverage—readers can always feel when that's the real underlying goal. If you want to gratify HN's curiosity, a better strategy is to work on something for its own sake—i.e. purely because you find it interesting—and then write about it from that perspective.
> Terrorists and Nuts would love nothing more than use a surface-to-air missile against a launch

Please reference: Blowback: The Costs and Consequences of American Empire[0]

The author argues that the US is creating the "terrorists and nuts" that the US is then protecting itself from.

If the US was not hyper-interventionist on the world stage, there would be almost no terrorist threat.

> what if an organization has a nodal structure such that at each node somebody can divert X% (say 1 for the hell of it) of what goes through the node? The salary of the top man is then basically proportional to the size of the node, so to get mega-rich, a bank president in New York might buy a bank in New Jersey. The node in New Jersey remains, but a buyer of the bank in New York now gets to skim additional cream.

This is basically how the world works, if you consider each of those nodes a business. The cost to buy that bank though, already factors in the income stream that you’d get from it. Like how you can go buy shares on the public market and receive dividends.

Actually, no! You would think so, but again, it's a boring numerical technique so it is all too often sidelined in favour of the more "flashy" symbolic techniques.

An awful lot of tertiary education has been caught up in the publish-or-perish mentality. Unfortunately for AD, it is not "impressive". Differentiating hideously difficult expressions symbolically is impressive. Publishing a paper packed full of enormous, scary looking expressions is impressive. Merely saying that "we used AD and it worked just fine" is unimpressive.

For decades now we've been incentivizing intellectual wankery over practical utility.
Not under all circumstances, no. I was in no way blocked from playing it on a brand new PS4 that was never connected to internet. However I pretty reliably experienced, after leaving the PS4 to sleep for longer than 1-2 days, a severe input glitch when I resumed the game. To fix the glitch I had to restart the PS4 and game, which takes more than 5 minutes. Later I plugged in the internet and the glitch never happened again. I never made the connection between the glitch and DRM, but it seems likely to me now that they are related. I had assumed the glitch was a known bug that the developers were disincentivized to fix because they want the internet connected for telemetry.
Nope thats why I specifically said any help to get to an MVP or website feedback. Good to see everyone thinks it's a scam website though kind of silly.
This issue is why I’m skeptical of SaaS in general.

I look at software as a solution to a problem. When I have a problem and software solves it, I’m happy. The better the software, the more thoroughly it solves my problem without creating new problems for me (by being annoying or inefficient). The best software seems to hit a sweet spot with the right set of features targeted at solving a particular problem or small class of problems with minimal fuss.

Really good software becomes extremely difficult to improve on. But services can’t deal with just hitting the sweet spot and calling it a day. They need to grow, which means they need to evolve. The constant cash flow seems to burn a hole in the manager’s pocket. Eventually they cross a threshold and exit the sweet spot. Maybe they release a major version with an awful new UI. Like a TV series which has gone on too long, they jump the shark [1].

Perhaps this problem of SaaS may be analogous to network decay [2], though the latter is more gradual.

It actually leaves quite a lot of places to live.

Yes an asteroid could hit anywhere but the notion that suburban sprawl out into every corner of the wilderness is justified by that is ludicrous.
It really depends on where you are. There are areas where people gather and mask wearing is spotty or non-existent. Our neighbors recently had a large party with lots of guest because it was their son’s 10th birthday and they thought he deserved a big celebration. Only a few of the people wore masks. I also drove past a group of people outside a church this past weekend and only a few were wearing masks.
As long as PC laptops continue to use that terrible Synaptics touchpad system, they will always be inferior. Anybody I've seen who claims any PC touchpad matches a Mac doesn't know what they are talking about. And I say this as a user of both but mostly PC.

Well, to be honest Panic have been Mac exclusive developers for upwards of 20 years now. I don’t see things changing anytime soon.
I find that claim very implausible. I would also be very concerned as an anti-racist if I found myself sharing a premise (e.g. black people just have a different perspective to white people) with racists, no matter what the rationalisation. Particularly since it would legitimise discrimination in contexts where that perspective was seen as undesirable.

Also, the act of prejudice was seen as wrong, not particular prejudices.

I love the car comparison because I think the comparison to car manufacturers' stance pre-"Unsafe At Any Speed" seems quite fitting. In fact car manufacturers at least had drivers to blame, whereas PG&E can really only blame themselves or "acts of god"

That said, I think dones + AI can reduce the cost of routine maintenance, the savings of which shoud be used for infrequent detailed inspections that would pick up a defect like this.
More likely the savings will just be pocketed
The real value of NumPy is that it sets the standard for what we expect in an array processing interface. Of course NumPy did not invent the idea, it builds on many others, but it is the de facto standard for what we expect. In time, another language or array processing library will probably replace Python / NumPy/SciPy, but due to the convenience of the API, I predict whatever takes over will look a lot like NumPy.

California mountain towns are not economically productive. I doubt they could even exist without the rest of the states taxes supporting their infrastructure.
So, why is that insulator actually dangling?
This has been well known for a long time. It's even vaguely referenced in the Snowden leaks.

I wish Tor never became an activist project. There are a lot of groups with nice sounding names like 'Human Rights Watch' - that seem less nice once you find out who funds them and some of the things they support - that started offering loads of money starting around 2010 to groups which produced this kind of technology.

Tor took the money and transformed from an academic project into an activist one in both terms of both staff and marketing, and I think a lot of people are now using technology they have been told will keep them safe but is actually only a few steps away from bunkum.
Are you trying to say that companies will automatically stop fracking due to the environmental effects? Because it turns out that they do not do that.

If that's they case, maybe AWS should raise the pricing on us-east-1 to fund improvements and/or encourage people to either move off to newer data centers.
Hmm. I think my fundamental disconnect here was the idea of permutation as a repeated process. As a formal term it's really ever come up in a discrete mathematics class comparing it with combinations, on the subject of counting. Here we seem to be defining permutation as a function that can be repeatedly applied.

Looks like the first sentence of wikipedia confirms it's an overloaded word:

>In mathematics, a permutation of a set is, loosely speaking, an arrangement of its members into a sequence or linear order, or if the set is already ordered, a rearrangement of its elements. The word "permutation" also refers to the act or process of changing the linear order of an ordered set.
Why do you think the bulk of the Oculus innovation is deep in the stack? Is there much custom hardware in the Quest 2 or is it similar to a phone in a different form factor?

How much of the accuracy of the sensor fusion algorithm comes from the inherent accuracy/calibration of the underlying sensors?

Has anyone tried bringing up a stock android distribution on the Quest 2?

There’s more than one case.

It’s a bit off to call it a “sting” though when the NASA inspector general is the only one that thinks a crime is actually taking place.

Edit: to be clear, the IG is asserting in these cases either that the astronauts stole NASA property or that they illegally profited off of the mission (as later Apollo astronauts got in trouble for doing when they sold the personal effects they took with them).

However in most of these cases it’s clear that (1) these weren’t misplaced samples, but rather an extra rock they picked up and kept, for which there’s no law against; and (2) they didn’t profit off it, but rather freely gave chips of the rock to their wives, girlfriends, children, close friends, or just kept as a momento.

Now two generations later these Apollo era people are dying off and their estate is finding out that the little moon rock grandpa has is worth $10k/gram at auction, and trying to cash in. And when they do, NASA sends a SWAT team to their house.
Which food items are healthy to eat?
When it comes to food items, there are a lot of foods that are good for health and are advised by the healthcare providers. It includes green vegetables and red fruits, they are good for your skin, teeth health, oral issues and stomach as well. These are said to be blood purifiers and improve gut health and immunity. Eat food according to the body need. Avoid junk food, fried stuff, cold drinks etc. as they can damage your teeth and gut health.

And usually it's old things, like really really old if something is available in us-east-1 and not us-east-2. I would imagine some ancient ec2 instance types.
