I don't see anything approximating an argument that National Popular Vote violates any rule that has been applied to Presidential elections (“one person, one vote” is a districting rule, which doesn't really apply to elections per se, and arrangements which do not treat all voters in the state equally—such as the 2 for the statewide winner plus one for the winner of each CD method of assigning electors, which more heavily weights votes in Congressional districts with lower turnout in assigning state electors—survive under current law, and NPV doesn't even have that flaw.)

It is a security issue if the presence of a commit or tree in a repo is supposed to be enough to get GitHub to nuke the repo, as this then allows malicious users to convince GitHub to nuke any repo they like, but GitHub can instead deal with this more sensibly and not make it a security issue.

While I think it doesn’t check most of your boxes, it’s one of a kind in that it lets you write mathematical proofs for your functions.

It pushes the limits of type driven development. As I understand, the big idea is that tests can only show a program is faulty, not that it’s correct. On the other hand mathematical proofs can actually prove your program is correct.

That said I’ve never used it myself but I know a close-knit community of extremely smart mathematicians/programmers using it. It’s certainly a language with huge potential. I plan to play with it / learn it some day.
Choosing not to have kids is just a choice; it definitely doesn’t make you an asshole.

Mmm. It has been some time since I read Three-Body Problem and I bounced off The Dark Forest. This also means it's possible my impressions are either erroneous because I forgot something important or it's explained/ ret-conned in the subsequent books.

In Three-Body Problem as I recall there's some pretty hand-waving stuff about sophons in particular. They're basically a MacGuffin which is used to explain whatever is necessary to the plot so as to have the Trisolarans able to interfere in Earth's affairs essentially at whim yet not obviate the invasion itself. So that's not very Hard SF.
If you own an Oculus, you know how eery the boundary mapping is. Before they switched it off, you'd be able to see your boundary from outside its fencing. Some users report being able to see the boundary from a different room. So not only does the headset map your environment inside the boundary, it actually maps and parses the rest as well. It doesn't have GPS so it wouldn't know how otherwise to determine your position relative to the boundary. This means Oculus maps every space it is in, including the objects in it. Really, this tells FB far more about your life and general affluence than any type of browsing behavior ever could.

Same goes for fitness tracking. Inside actual fitness games but in other VR titles as well. Again, this generates a ton of very personal data that, combined with other databases, unlocks a ton of value for advertisers.

This is why FB is so adamant about using FB profiles, even banning users if they make a guest account: For all this data to be really valuable, you need to be able to have it down to an individual resolution (that is: You know all the data is generated by a single individual, so you can combine it).

All of this, combined with existing data-generation, is a whole new level of invasion of privacy.
No matter what others might think of universities but if there is a place to learn math, for most people it will be there.

If you actually want to learn math, then I would recommend to take courses and do the homework. You will notice how rarely you need the computer for it. I cannot remember that we used a computer even once in the first few semesters of studying math (I am physicist but we shared courses with actual math students. We just had less math courses than they did).

The word "herd immunity" is used by the media with a very specific meaning. It is meant to refer to an unethical practice of taking insufficient action and just letting people die. As many pointed out on HN, the media does not understand that vaccination is also herd immunity.

At any rate, with the commonly used meaning of "herd immunity", this is not what Sweden does.
Yes, I do this sometimes for math proofs.

The point of writing atomic flashcards is to prevent the loss of resolution reviewing questions about wholes (sentences in your case). Mind that atomic does not mean that it has to be about details, I usually create flashcards for each abstraction, that is, besides asking for details, I also write a question for the full sentence.
This is one way to prevent the loss of resolution, but sometimes it is time consuming to write all those flashcards (think about a long proof).
Another way to do it, is to write down the answer pen-and-paper, that way you are forced to focus on the details, not just the big picture: no loss of resolution.

What I don't get is, why does Facebook want me to have a single friends list, under my real name?

I don't mind having an account with Facebook. I already have an Oculus account, and I add "Oculus friends" there, so I assume Facebook can get all my data from there, anyway (including my real name, as I added my credit card to be able to buy games).

But I find I mind having to befriend my gaming friends on Facebook, as I may share different content there.

In fact, if Facebook wants to become the ultimate social network, shouldn't they somehow offer better tools to manage different social circles? (Work, Family, Gaming, Sports, Politics...).

I don't think their play is to get my Oculus data to make better targeted ads. They already have that data.

What I could imagine is that the future of social networking will be in VR worlds, and since they want to dominate social networking, that's their power grab (they also work on a virtual world for that, Horizons).

But it seems to me their "friendship management tools" are not up to the task yet. I've never digged deeply into their controls, but it shouldn't be complicated.

It's not a new concept, either - weren't there "circles" in some network (Google+?). But it didn't work out. So instead of forcing this VR merge, perhaps they should focus on solving the circles problem first?

This is a trial court decision (and I'm going to guess an unpublished one, but even if it were published it would have no binding effect on other cases). And I'd expect this to get struck down if appealed if the description here is correct. Whether or not the ruling on pregnancy discrimination is correct (which seems likely), the ruling on FMLA retaliation described could not be more obviously incorrect: being fired to taking the leave, whether or not one was allowed to take the leave, is bright-line prohibited retaliation.

EDIT: Having gone from the linked article to it's source to the actual decision text, I think the decision is fine, and it looks like there is some real incompetence on the part of plaintiff's counsel, given the factual allegations.

(1) despite describing what is plainly FMLA retaliation, plaintiff claimed interference with FMLA rights, not retaliation.

(2) On both the FMLA claims and the one state law claim the Court addresses directly, plaintiff failed to counter the defenses motion to dismiss, permitting the court to dismiss the claims without even evaluating the arguments.

I kind of wonder if the plaintiff here was a pro se litigant or if they just hired completely incompetent counsel? Because it looks like, given the alleged facts, it was a slam dunk case that was lost because the plaintiff made claims that were close to, but just off of, the right ones in some cases, and also failed to either stand up for or seek to amend them when the defense responded.
> a) reinfections

The rate of reinfections is neglegible.

> b) allowing an epidemic to run wild creates conditions for it to mutate and change in unpredictable ways, including becoming more deadly and damaging than what it is right now.

Unscientific. In fact followup mutations in such an epidemic always mutate to less severe variants (lower IFR) with sometimes higher infection rates (higher R). Because the patient doesn't recognize it as such, and therefore it can spread more.
The mutations loose critical parts all over.

Damaging is the only the reemergence of the cold weather, people staying inside.

I think that, as is often the case, it depends on what you want to achieve and what you're ready to put up with.

In my case, when I have to work with whatever computer my client provides me with, wired headphones make me dependent on the computer's audio quality. And random HP laptops are really not great. Also, I sometimes have to work travel, so I prefer limiting the number of items I have to cart around, especially expensive personal ones (like an external DAC).

A BT pair of headphones solve this problem. I currently have a Sony XM3 that I mostly bought for the sound isolation and I'm very happy with them. Are they as good as some other similarly priced analog headphones? Probably not. My old Shure 840 had a better sound for 1/3 the price.

But I actually like not being encumbered with wires and having the headphones suppress the air conditioning hum and other random noises around the office. The ambient hum would go through my old Shure, despite being closed-back. I often like having the Sony on my ears just for the noise-cancelling, with no audio coming through.

The issue with bluetooth is the lag, though. I don't really care about that as I mostly listen to music or watch movies, but if lag is important to you (say for video-conferencing or games) then the usb-wireless may be a better route. But I get the feeling that those models don't really attempt to address high audio quality.

> Most of the billionaires are first generation

This is a quirk of the tech boom and we are in a blip in history. Also when you say 'most' its a slim majority, about 55% which is fair to recognise. And I agree on its own it wont help economically, but this is one tool to help this balance, these things are done in part, not one variable solves all which also needs to be recognised as will it have some positive effect, rather than does it fix the entire issue, if you believe dynastic wealth and intergenerational inequality is in fact an issue as many wouldn't.

> This will make it very difficult to compete globally in the capital intensive industries.

While there is likely some edge cases, helping small business and putting focus there doesn't have to be against big business. There is good and bad options within this statements. Monopolistic behaviours aside when I say focus on small business I dont mean restrict larger business. But you can look at rules that level the playing field. For example you could ensure distributors have open order systems so Walmart cant get goods at half the price anyone else can. Or make tax forms efficient so that 10 man business doesn't need a full time accountant priced into their small operation type changes.

This wont effect the capital intensive industries + will also benefit big business, however the benefit will be felt more for smaller operations.

Yes, it is the only program coded in Haskell I have ever used for anything practical, to my knowledge.

I have heard of others, like git-annex, but not used them myself. I wonder if there are any I just didn't know were.

I also wonder if anything about Haskell makes it particularly suited as the implementation language for Pandoc. It must have a lot of parsers in it, and Haskell is supposed to be good for coding parsers.

There are parser generation libraries and meta-libraries for certain other languages, notably C++. I wonder what Pandoc in C++ would look like. Probably a pretty good parser meta-library could be spun out of such a project.

Eliminating the "karensdag" kind of proves my point: Sweden did take measures, essentially buying the population into voluntary isolation. I agree that this is less dramatic to report on than full-blown lockdowns enforced with police action. What picture do you put on the front page? A dad calming staying home and enjoying time with his kids? :) However, calling these measures "herd immunity" is misleading.

Also, even after eliminating the "karensdag" Sweden was in a way better welfare position than e.g. US, where worker were going unprotected and sick to work, for fear of losing their job.

So far, targeted ads don't really seem to work that well (studies have found). I don't think getting the size of my rooms will be that much of an improvement. They can infer maybe how much money I have, but they can probably already guess that from my address and my credit card company also knows. It's not even clear that the data about my rooms is transferred to Facebook.

I don't think making better targeted ads is the play here. I think they want to dominate social networking, and they think a lot of social networking will take place in VR in the future.

I interpret this as a phone that can do the basics like agenda and such, but does them in an unintrusive way, and givesyou full control over when and how it's allowed to interrupt you. If so, that would definitely change the dynamics between me and my phone.

I guess that would be more sustainable than trying to disconnect entirely.
