Even if an adult is in a foreign country 24/7 without any speaking his native language, the adult will still hear his native language in his own head; that is, the adult will think and talk to himself in his native language and will always be a competitor for the external voices he hears.

I am a native English speaker who learned Italian in my 20s. When I stay for a week or two with my Italian in-laws who don’t speak English, I find myself thinking in Italian after a few days. It’s noticeable because my mind will wander into a topic about programming or something and my internal monologue will hit a technical word that I don’t know. I also dream in Italian and report this to my Italian wife.

It’s not hard to slip into. I think your claim is based on speculation, because my experience says otherwise.

Well, clearly false for competitive but turn-based games.

Doesn't it depend on the language? I've picked up quite a bit of Spanish late in life and I think it came fairly easily. Granted, it helps to be in CA where Spanish is quite pervasive.

I'm now trying to pick up conversational Vietnamese and, wow, that is a whole different ball game. Tonal languages are full of subtleties that don't come easy to someone who has never paid attention to them. It feels like I'm trying to learn perfect pitch.

> travel to/from the airport and immigration, which does not change.

Musk's The Boring Company is working on changing the speed of travel to the airport. Midtown Manhattan to JFK is around 45 minutes to drive. But it's only 11 miles away. If you can travel in a straight line at 80 mph, it should only take 8.3 minutes).

And rich people who buy flights like that can already take helicopters and have separate immigration/customs gates without lines and checks.
Not just Catholics; the Shahada is a core prayer to Muslims, and I'd imagine most fundamental Jewish prayers affirm the oneness of G-d as well.

Given that the FLDS is an excommunicated body that is infamous for continuing disavowed practices, it shouldn't be too difficult to distinguish between them even among Gentiles (there's an HBO show based on them).

Except, labor unions, like nearly any other social organization (even churches!) have changed and modernized over the past century. Your insistence that those present and visible changes are false is bordering on irrational zealotry. It drains both energy and meaning out of a debate and clearly you want to persist in your indefensible concern trolling. Sous vide? Sola fide.
That was actually the inspiration for my experiment with this in school, and I also setup one or two domains to catch bit flips but never got any hits. It's a complete myth as far as I have been able to tell (research tells me otherwise by using huge setups, and there are a few commenters here that seem to have first-hand experience, some seeming more trustworthy than others, but clearly not a majority of people). I get that it's (obviously) more than a myth, but I'm not sure it deserves the goo-goo eyes that it seems to trigger with many engineers, either. It's a neat feature slightly above the gimmick status but gets way more attention.
My tinnitus was caused by my blood pressure. Had a heart attack a couple of years ago, they inserted a stent and I drastically modified my bad habits (diet, exercise, all that), and the constant ringing in my ears vanished.

BP now hovers around 100 / 60, resting heart rate in the 70's, and I rarely experience tinnitus any more.

The mirror DOES flip one coordinate, the "hither" versus "yon" coordinate.
If you hold a paper of text up against the mirror, and it looks mirrored, then you can notice that the original text ALSO looks inverted to you, if the paper is translucent. Right is right. Up is up. However, "hither" becomes "yon."
Exactly like we would expect by looking at the math for reflection in a plane.

I think I've seen people advertising, literally, "Ship your brand new Tesla to me, and I'll get the body work/alignment perfect and ship it on to you" services. Not sure how real, or valid, but something of an indictment.

> - Tesla's false promises on Autopilot and Full Self Driving is a disgrace. They are at-least 20 years away from anything resembling close to L4, but still somehow siphon $8k from buyers with a false promise

Yeah, at this point it's almost Kickstarter-esque (for better, and worse).
I like both imperative and functional style programming. They're isomorphic if composition is favored. Imagine interpreters iterating over ASTs. Easy peasy.

I strongly dislike hybrids, multiparadigm, metaprogramming, and inheritance-heavy OOAD.

Most of our work is CRUD, meaning data centric. Right?

My arm wavy overgeneratalization is that functional programming promotes functional decomposition style programming, which emphasizes flow of control modeling over data modeling. Especially when noobs go overboard with lambdas, stream processing, reducers, and so forth, which obfuscates the data transformations.

Whereas imperative programming can be more straightforward for simple data processing. Until noobs go overboard with OOAD stuff like inheritance, making wrapper classes for everything, and design pattern overkill. Then the wheels fall off and the engine explodes once someone reads a book about inversion of control, dependency injection, mocking, aspects, or optionals (non-null).

YMMV.
I would love if Facebook could simply remove all political ads. The problem then becomes what classifies as political ad. This can be very obvious (vote for president = political, buy cereal = not political), but it can also be far less obvious.

For example, would an ad for in support of an oil pipeline be considered a political ad? What if it's in support for an outcome of a referendum? Or an Ad for a charity? What if that charity is the EFF/ACLU in support of changing policies?

It's an extremely difficult problem to differentiate what is considered a political ad and what is not and I don't exactly trust Facebook to do so.
The world is moving on from paper receipts, though. For regular Starbucks customers, payment by phone is routine, and there's normally no paper receipt.
Most HN commenters are wrong. A mirror DOES flip one coordinate; the coordinate that is orthogonal to the plane of the mirror. That's what makes it a mirror, and not a window.
Why don't you just stick your tongue in the wall outlet?
Or better yet let's not talk about the people at WG21, but instead their employers (and whoever acquires their employers in the future) and what is in those employees' contracts about IP they create that is owned by those companies.
> But he doesn’t choose the door at random. He deliberately chooses to show you goats. Since this is always possible, it tells you nothing

What happens if Monty does not ever choose at random. Say that Monty always opens the the highest possible door.

If you choose door 1 and Monty reveals door 2, then switching (to 3) is 100% win.

If you choose door 1 and Monty reveals door 3, then switching (to 2) is 50% win.

I think it's a crucial unstated assumption that Monty does choose randomly among available goat doors.

Reddit discussion:

https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchRedditDie/comments/j4fsi1/redd...

Company history:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit#History

From there, I suppose this is the rationale:

> The idea and initial development of Reddit originated with then college roommates Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian in 2005.

> Between November 2005 and January 2006, Reddit merged with Aaron Swartz's company Infogami, and Swartz became an equal owner of the resulting parent company, Not A Bug. Ohanian later wrote that instead of labeling Swartz as a co-founder, the correct description is that Swartz's company was acquired by Reddit 6 months after he and Huffman had started.

EDIT: This doesn't seem to be news though. Checking the Wayback Machine, Aaron Swartz seems to never have been mentioned as a founder on that page. Here's what the page looked like in April 2018:

Ask HN: Any multiplayer game synchronisation experts on HN?
Hi game devs of HN. I'm building an app that lets you play html5 games while you video chat. My multiplayer games like checkers and Ludo keep losing state mid-game session but I noticed games like Poker with friends (https://cdn-factory.marketjs.com/en/poker-with-friends/index.html) & Ludo with friends don't have this problem no matter how many times I minimize the browser window.

My game communication interface currently uses websockets and engages a retry mechanism with message acknowledgement, so a message gets resent if the ack fails to arrive within a short period of time. Does anyone know how html5 online multiplayer games like those listed above maintain their state no matter what? can anyone see a problem with my websockets implementation?

> The fastest internet would be one without ads

I don't disagree with your sentiment. However, their biggest gains in terms of percentage points (as discussed in the article) are for YouTube. And YouTube wouldn't be significantly faster without ads in the way that browsing primarily textual websites is faster without ads. Getting buffering times down is actually a substantial improvement here esp. on flaky connections. (Though the article doesn't make it clear whether flaky connections specifically benefit from QUIC.)
This is very true.

> If they wanted to seriously affect this, they would prevent posts from spreading to tens of thousands/ millions of people without being vetted.

And then you see the complaints (including on HN) about how Facebook is biased.

I do note that they have recently banned all QAnon groups and posts, so that's a start.
This was probably 10 years ago - but they were amazing, you could tell whoever was behind the counter didn't care at all - they just plugged it in to verify the RROD and then swapped it out. No idea if that's the case still.

What makes the three doors Monty Hall so counterintuitive is that people tend to correctly reason about the case where the second door is randomly opened and don't understand why it doesn't apply.

I believe that this example makes understanding why people don't get it easier: you are looking for someone with one of your friend. You know they are in one of three rooms. Right before you can open the first one, your friend opens the second one and say: "not there". People assume the Monty Hall problem means that it's more likely your friend is in the third room and not the one you were going to open and think it's silly. And they are right to think that. What they don't get is that the case where your friend opened the correct door is part of the switching choice in the Monty Hall situation.
Tech company employees whining about the actions of their company, no matter the aisle side, should be fired. Plain and simple.

Amazon employees protesting their own warehouse working conditions? Fine. That’s your option in America to try to get better working conditions. But complaining that AWS is bidding on military contracts? Grow up.

If I was CEO of any of these companies, I’d make it simple. You can either (a) quit, or submit a form checking off categories of business you have snowflake issues with and we will happily deduct an equal percentage of those categories of our profits from your paycheck by an equal percentage.

But anyone who goes public to complain about our categories of business? Fired for cause.

Reddit has become a heavily censored website that supports only one political viewpoint. For instance, I cannot say on reddit that BLM by definition checks off all boxes for a terrorist hate group because I will be banned. This goes for large swaths of society in general where people have gone from free speech advocates to raving lunatics ready to censor, ban, cancel, and fire anyone who does not support their views.

Next reddit will start with free speech and, if it becomes popular, eventually the anti-free speech people will move in and turn it into reddit.
I think a better example is Westboro Baptist Church they are a protected class and I think there are more individuals on this site that would disagree with their protected class status due to the fact that they more reflect the ideals of QAnon but wrapped up in a religion. Again I don't advocate for them, and find them to be of the most repugnant probably more so than QAnon or ISIS, I am just pointing out the hypocrisy of taking a stance not on principal but on what one agrees with, which seems to be the norm now days.

So I implore those that read, ask yourself would you root for the removal of a Westboro Baptist Church member from their job and livelihood. If the answer is yes, then you have no argument against those that would do the same to LGTBQ or other protected classes.

It's not a matter of what is considered right or repugnant it is a matter of principal that the practice will inevitably ensnare less than guilty people, it is in effect modern day, digital Salem Witch trials (without the hanging and burning), and I honestly do see how people have been so filter bubbled to not see that.

Yes. Its maximum range was 4,500 miles. That won't even get you from Seattle to Tokyo (4,700 miles), let alone to anywhere else in Asia.

You can do two hops, by stopping in Anchorage, which will get you to Tokyo or Seoul on the second hop (Stopping in Hawaii won't get you the range to go to Seoul), but at that point a no-stop subsonic flight is faster, more comfortable, burns less jet fuel, and does not require you to make a landing within spitting distance of the Arctic circle.

This jet promises[1] to deliver a range of 4,500 nautical miles, which will barely get you from Seattle to crash-landing in the mountains east of Seoul (4530 nautical miles)

[1] It remains to be seen whether it will deliver on this promise.

I mean, I used to have a Mercedes AMG before my current one, and it was simultaniously the worst and the best car I have ever owned. The worst because it was uncomfortable and built like a horse cart, everything in this brand new, very expensive mercedes creaked, rattled and squeaked. I've been back to the garage so many times for "minor" fixes just to make the car usable I nearly ended up hating it after the first year, then kind of ended up learning to live it and started enjoying it more. Which brings me to the other side - I loved the way it drove, it was like the extension of my mind and my body, it was like glued to the road and like a rocket if you wanted it to be.

So yeah, I totally 100% get how you can simultaneously love and hate a car, especially if it's an expensive one.
If you ban advertisements on Facebook, you end up favoring people with pre-existing set of followers. Typically this will be an incumbent, or perhaps celebrity candidates.

Moreover, FB banning political ads doesn't end the advantage of having more money. It just channels that money somewhere else (TV ads, hiring door-to-door campaigners).

That would be weird, since Amazon has no major contributors. NTT, Microsoft, Fujitsu, or another seat for Crunchy Data (among other possibilities) would seem to be more natural choices than giving a seat to Amazon, looking at major contributors.

> is incredibly heavy and so sticks to the ground

This is the first time I've ever heard people saying "heavy" as a pro. Any car is heavy in a sense of staying firmly on the ground. The rest is steering, suspension, and rubber; a tiny cheap Fiesta ST on good tires and dry tarmac handles like it's on rails. It'll go around a corner much more eagerly though, being about 60% lighter than a model 3.
That does seem to be the case, unfortunately.
