Yes, I read what you said and I understood what you meant the first time. To be clear, I and the article mean artificial sunscreen. Melanin does not offer enough protection hence why we have sunscreen we can apply on our skin.

Can you give a source for your statement that it's more effective than anything else we can come up with? Sounds like an interesting study.
My dad was an officer in the Marine Corps and spent time working on contingency planning—basically, planning invasions just in case they had to carry them out. He ended up being resentful about the Grenada intervention because his plan (written in the 1960’s) was far more efficient than what they ended up doing.

The only actionable advice I remember is basically to think critically about the information you’re given. If your plan hinges on storing fuel in a tank that seems to exist in the middle of a farm for no obvious reason, investigate a little more deeply. Maybe it’s a sugar cane farm and a tank of molasses. If so, not a solution for storing fuel.
Looking at some of the setup guide videos, I guess portrait mode for the monitor would work better as two landscape game windows would fit better on it.
My Criteria for Reviewing Papers
> This is such a backwards way of thinking. Like modernizing math by using little colored blocks with symbols written on them, because your tired of using boring old white and black pencil and paper...

I remember having to use TI-83 for school. Back then, some people taught the same about the calculator.

Also, sounds like you'd oppose syntax highlighting. I like making e.g. my PS1 colorful. The problem is when other's force their color scheme upon you, like mIRC colors, or website themes (!!).

It doesn't have to be a XOR.

I know of at least one minor newspaper that sells that kind of pass (1-month non-renewing sub) as well as other subscriptions: https://ilmanifesto.it/tariffe/

It's Italian but the table is easy enough to decipher. "Mese" is a month. "Digitale" is digital (duh). "Coupon" is a scheme where they send you vouchers to redeem the newspaper in shops, and is extremely popular among their readership. "Postale" is the classic system through the post (which can be slow in Italy, hence the voucher scheme). "Sostenitore" is basically a supporter donation.

Sadly they still make less than 10% of their revenue from digital, despite a first-class website and iOS app and Android app. Their revenue from paper is fairly solid and they've now streamlined enough that they could probably survive on that, but they still do yearly donation drives.
For the people I talk with that distinction is irrelevant. It's just management that wants to know how I can guarantee that the same code runs on our batch processing cluster and their cloud environment. And how I can develop one code base for both platforms.
Not sure how they arrived that that number as the effective capacity factor of solar is in the 25-28% range in the best of circumstances, so my napkin math of realistic PV density from real projects like Desert Sunlight (the 550 MW plant in the Mojave that covers about 6.5 sq miles) puts that at closer to 101 square miles of equivalent capacity at (.90 capacity factore versus .28, roughly 88 MW per sq mile on a totally flat desert), and that's not counting whatever storage is being used to offset all the non-generating hours.
We have computers that can automatically make transcripts. I'm sure china knows how grep works.

Are you seriously suggesting that its easier to gather psychological data from short videos than it would be from therapy sessions held over zoom? Why would that even be more valuable to china than the traditional industry espinoge that would be trivial to extract over zoom. Hell, why would you expect that short videos made for the express purpose of trying to gain popularity would be more telling about someone's personality than their candid work interactions?
I'm actually OK with Microsoft being in control of security patching cadence. Too many people are simply unable, unqualified or unwilling to do the job themselves, and when there's millions of them, you get botnets. I don't like the loss of choice, but I readily admit it's a necessary evil.

But they should do much better QA and not brick anyone's PC ever, and absolutely NOT ship anything which isn't strictly security-related in this undeferrable-unskippable security patches channel.
You’ve made a common mistake - constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech means freedom from the government restricting you from or persecuting you for speech.

That does not mean citizens need to tolerate whatever you say. For example, a commenter on HN might break the rules and get banned by dang. Dang isn’t violating their constitutional rights, because dang/HN isn’t the government. [1]

Similarly, trump the private citizen was free to block people on Twitter. Trump the President was directed by courts to unblock a person because their ability to participate in public discourse had been curtailed by a government official. [2] When Trump is no longer president, he will be free to block anyone once more.

I understand where you’re coming from - you felt that back in the day you were free to say whatever you liked without fear of repercussions from private citizens. I agree but this could be because of a couple of changes

- we store everything that’s said. A passing comment from 10 years ago isn’t stored, but a tweet is.

- society changes what is acceptable to say. There were restrictions at that time as well (the n word could get you fired) but now society also frowns upon a broader range of transgressions.

This is fine, society is entitled to change its mind. 25 years ago only 25% of Americans were supportive of gay rights. Today it’s 67%. [3] You can see how a homophobic slur would be acceptable at that time but not in 2020.

They do kind of punish you for being a dick though, very very harshly: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/covid-19-robe...

I was actually there when this was going on earlier this year. Could have easily been me. They just picked on these poor people to make an example of them because they faced a backlash from locals (many of whom did similar things in other areas)
I love Craft's data structure. What WordPress mashes together as custom post types, Craft natively implements as entries, which are arbitrary collections of fields.

It's also trivial to keep under source control.

My only gripe with Craft is Redactor, which can easily be replaced.
There is a lot of evidence to suggest that people want to be sexually active and don't want children until they have an existential crisis and many existing people are unplanned happenstances.

Educated people don't have enough children to replace themselves, and its not because they are too busy.

Give people the choice and most choose to do things preventing children until they have existential crisis. Remove the choice and people are have children at twice the rate, pretty much coinciding with when they become sexually active.

It's not that hard to understand or perceive.
There are literally thousands of these machines at each office.

Maintaining a fleet of android devices sucks hard, especially when they are on devices that are not really designed to be remotely controlled (any kind of tablet is really not that well designed to be managed remotely (ie has batteries, only works on wifi, not onboard TPM thats useful))

Plus they are posted in every room where sensitive conversations are going on, not only that there is a list of who's going to be in those meetings. Not only that, they have access to video conferencing in each room as well.

Combine that with the portal offering, I can see the compelling value add.

as for "not a hardware company" their datacentres are almost entirely custom.
Well it depends on your audience, in my case it is sufficient but I agree if one really wants to learn this just makes you ask questions about horrible overkill, and then you have to explain layers and indeed, it is a rabbit hole, I agree.

Still, you understand it ones you can build on that. But tbh I agree that there are now students that lack basic sysadmin skills needed to understand docker images from the inside. That said, I don't understand Kubernetes very deeply, so we complement each other nicely.
I highly recommend the various tempus color schemes[0], they are designed to be high contrast.

Tempus is a collection of themes for Vim, text editors, and terminal emulators that are compliant at the very least with the WCAG AA accessibility standard for colour contrast (which stands for a minimum
contrast ratio of 4.50:1—while some items have a 7.00:1 rating, or else WCAG AAA).

I use one of the AAA schemes. It's not perfect though, certain color pairs are low contrast (typically the "dark" and "light" variant of the same color).

I couldn't find any details about the migration on either links but it looks like they make massive use of Nvidia-specific features, so even with exactly the same performances it would make total sense to use Cuda just because the tooling is more mature.
Soviet problem-solving method TRIZ might be exactly what you are referring to:

> Put differently: Try explaining your docker compose setup to a beginner that only knows how to use normal desktop software.

And on the flipside: Try explaining to people that running stuff on hardware is still viable, that they don't need to break their software up in a dozen containers when, if you look critically, it's just another CRUD app with authentication.
You're tautologically correct (TikTok is banned because TikTok is banned!), but that still doesn't answer the question. Put another way: if whatever Tiktok is doing represents a categorical privacy/security threat, then why aren't they banning all apps that engage in said activity, instead of just Tiktok?

I suspect the answer is that Tiktok is just doing the same as Facebook etc, and that's unacceptable only because the mined data might go to China.
I wasn't?
I'm interested in what way this could be a logical fallacy. Would you care to expand?
Hard no. This has been an ongoing plot line for 5 years now for those of us who avidly follow politics. There’s nothing here that I would be able to explain to anyone that would surprise them.

The real story is that they got leaked at all. I know there’s a huge left tile on HN so take your blue hat off for a minute and just think about this. The DNC has lusted after Trump’s returns for five years now. They finally acquired them (presumably at great expense) and published them immediately, not considering whether or not it would help their candidate. It stands to reason that they didn’t know what was in the returns if they went out of their way to obtain this nothingburger. Why publish them at all when you have the debate on Tuesday (that Trump will likely flub) that you could focus America on? Is the DNC more worried about this election than the polls show if they’re fishing like this?

Disclaimer: The polls are generally accurate IMHO. Biden has a ~75% chance to win and I agree with that. I also think “X candidate is in DEEP trouble in the polls”-type headlines help X candidate more than the opposition because higher voter turnout is triggered when voters think their votes will matter.
How's Redactor working for you? I have constant issues with it.
If everyone is reinventing the wheel, then it means the incumbent products are too expensive or lack some necessary features.

On the one hand, I agree that these devices are pretty useful, and there is some measure of thanks for the big companies inventing them. On the other hand, these devices don’t seem to be as well-marketed compared to the things the big companies are known for (probably because the margins are probably not as good at big company scale / the big company is too specialized around its cash cows to really refine these innovations into something that people or other companies would buy). It seems like an innovator’s dilemma to me.

I guess I have better idea of what Steve Jobs and Bill Gates meant when they said that they only used some of the ideas they saw at Xerox PARC.

Follow-up questions:

1. Have you seen anything at any of the companies that you’ve worked at and isn’t part of the company’s business, but is cool and should/could be used elsewhere?

2. In contrast to 1., have you seen anything that some of the companies that you’ve worked that isn’t part of the business that they repeatedly perform poorly?
I have a CS degree and have skimmed through it. It looks like a good curriculum to augment, say, an AP Comp Sci class. It also seems appropriate for the autodidacts who wish to get a solid grasp of computing fundamentals, even if they choose not to go into CS, but rather an ancillary field where such knowledge would prove useful (e.g., EE, Comp Eng).
Folks working in Foundations of Mathematics would like a word...

On a serious note even if objective mathematical entities exist, which I personally don't believe is verifiable, it'd be really something to see how they can maintain said existence while satisfying Gödel's proven theorems.

That's nothing. I did the same thing, but at 3yo and I only looked at the entire printout once.
The important point is that physics will likely never find a perfect 1:1 correspondence between nature and math because of the properties of nature (such as being too complex for the human mind to fully model), not because of the properties of math (such as the incompleteness theorem).

That is to say, even if the incompleteness theorem hadn't been true, math still wouldn't have described nature with perfect accuracy.

Not to mention, the incompleteness theorem hasn't prevented any kind of modelling in physics that I have ever heard of. Indeed, physics is often not entirely constrained by formal methods, with ad-hoc mathematical models that can be shown to work even if they are not fully formalized sometimes being preferred (such as the Dirac delta "function").
No thats strava fitness app with documented cases of this. If this was the concern, you’d see a lot more concern over fitness tracker apps that log routines and times.
That's a possibility. I can imagine a scenario where the issue bubbled up the chain a couple levels, with the junior employees not touching anything in the meantime, so as to avoid making things worse.

Another possibility is that the employee the system tasked with my report wasn't familiar with the CEO's name yet, and so couldn't follow the gist of the video. It's less likely, but the thought amuses me.

I still lean towards it being run-of-the-mill bureaucratic dysfunction. That's partly because it seems in-line with their spotty moderation, and partly, to be honest, because I'm just biased against Youtube.
exactly people don't realize the subtle implications from watching tiktoks — they do impact you and your thoughts and in any case China censors so much
There is also a sign mentioning Konrad built the first computer on the U-bahn (I think it is U5?)
It's a nice idea but 90% of the audience would simply not get it. "What do you mean I can't have my money back ?!?"

A quick survey of the comments-section of newspapers will show you very quickly how unsophisticated the general public is.
And that burnt coal leaves a toxic waste product that also needs to be taken care of safely.
I call bullshit on that part about the Pulfrich effect. The brain has no problem compensating for timing issues in visual input - if not, blinking would be a real pain.

And maybe the delay is a good thing actually, smoothing out the screen flickering for a better experience.
Sweden also pays you per kid. At 11 kids you'd get about $24k a year since it scales up. As long as you live in a cheap area you don't have to spend that much money on the kids, since you don't pay for education or healthcare or daycare. Also since you are on parental leave you still get that money.

Radioactive material is treated differently because it is dangerous at a distance. You don't need to eat it or even touch it. Simply standing close enough to it is enough to be harmful. It's just not comparable to anything in a solar panel.

After decommissioning a solar farm, at worst the soil might not be suitable for farming but nobody would complain about building a house there. For the same to be true of a nuclear plant a very expensive decommissioning process must be completed.
All of those were on my list of cons, particularly the lack of distractions. I avoided the Surface completely because Windows is anything but quiet and maintenance-free.

The iPad seemed pretty solid, but I'd have to turn it on and unlock it to see my notes, unlike a notebook.

The Remarkable seemed nice, bht there are lots of complaints that paper doesn't have.

The Supernote A6X was the most promising, but it was hard do get in Germany.
Certainly ten years later it was too abstract. Lots about compiler theory. Computer science is sometimes useful for software engineering, but only occasionally.
they might not have the same mother, though it is possible if you start early enough - but the health risk is terrifyingly large.
But it doesn't matter. I don't care if someone decides they want 12 kids, even if it is to avoid work. As long as those 12 kids are taken care of - and it isn't causing the women health issues at all - I'm not concerned, though I hope that at least some of those 12 are adoptions or foster children.

Some people really like to raise children, multiples.

But lets not forget that children are work. More children, more work. The thought that you are 'retiring' and relaxing just isn't so: for 14+ years, you always have a diaper to change, you always need to keep a childproof house, you always need to toilet train someone. For some years, you always have a preteen to watch over. Someone just going off to college. Etc.

But again, this isn't the norm. Even large families rarely have so many children. The amount of folks that try to have 12 children is such a small portion that it isn't worth worrying about and honestly, just parrots right-wing fears that folks are having children to get money from the government.

The Deutsches Technikmuseum commemorates his contributions too. It was one of the things I marveled at in that geek paradise of a museum. Because otherwise the only time I ever heard of Zuse is in a few paragraphs in the cursory and customary "History of Programming Languages" that opened my PL class at uni.

(Claims below are completely opinions, very unsubstantiated, yours might vary, doesn't matter, just my musings. Take it as a light-hearted commentary, not some hill I'd be willing to die on.)

So what even amuses me further is how I find the question of the earliest computer as largely political for lack of a better term. Most of the world would say it's either Alan Turing and his work at Enigma, some would claim Charles Babbage. Growing up in SE Asia, some of my elementary books would even claim the abacus as the earliest "computing device" (I disagree on principle). And of course, Berlin, Germany would say it is Konrad Zuse.

It seems to me this is because there is a very loose definition of "achieving computing". I won't get into Turing vs Zuse, but consider the arguments I remember for the abacus:

- it aids computation, was used as, basically, a calculator

- yes you can still make mistakes, but hey garbage-in garbage out!

- interpreting the configurations of the device to mean something is not so different from interpreting a computer's state through the configuration of lights on your monitor

Of course, if you qualify the debate as achieving electronic computing, then we have a bit more to chew on. But I imagine you could hammer arguments to go either way even with the "electronic" qualifier.
So why not focus on Facebook? Why not do something meaningful, anything, with a company which is actually beholden to us law? Seems like targetting the biggest bang for buck would be a good place to start and THEN move on to others, no?
But how do you explain the need for a "whole system" just to run one application?

"Back in the days", you installed one package, edited one config, started the service, and it "just worked". Now i need to install a docker, type some docker install command, that pulls who-knows how many files, puts them in some 'weird' location, including the config file (which belongs in /etc), so instead of having a 2mb service, I now have a 1gb docker image sitting on my system, with a config file hidden somewhere, and I, the user, don't see any benefits, compared to just 'apt-get install'-ing something.

I mean, I understand, daling with dependencies are hard for some developers, but sometimes is just overkill.
Building a Graphical IDE in Elm/PureScript (2017)
Yeah. I don’t buy this argument until they ban all Chinese apps. As far as I can tell, it’s just a way to cut off younger voter’s access to information that is critical of Trump. And that’s a generous reading.
if you're free to choose, you might be pressured to exercise the freedom not take the leave under threat of e.g. being made redundant. sometimes not being able to choose is all-in-all better for everyone, and that's disregarding the cost of making a decision.
