Be careful with reliance on what many would consider to be a fairly obscure right-of-way rule. More commonly if it's not clear someone just waves someone else through. It's like depending on people knowing obscure operator precedence :-)
It’s not a common question but it’s interesting to think where we would be today if Russia had become a free society.
Later research showed that on average people read better on lighter backgrounds because mild uncorrected astigmatism is very common, and more overall illuminance reaching the eyes causes the pupils to contract, which helps mitigate the astigmatism.

I'm not sure if there has been a study done on people confirmed not to have astigmatism.
Javascript was created for/because of ad tech? Source?
The UK already has around 1GW deployed and has 10GW+ in the pipeline. All of Which should be built before Sizewell C starts to generate.

I dont doubt that we can build nuclear plants. But right now the number of nations that can actually pull it off is small. Changing that would require new tech, modularisation, mass production etc. That is great and we should do that. But will it happen quickly?
Concurrency is one thing not good for PHP. If a background task needs a lot of parallel work, I'd use node in that part.
Only if you don't consider the context.

The local government lost nothing.

If Amazon didn't get the tax breaks, they wouldn't be there and the local government would be poorer for it.
"What I meant was that PHP and its frameworks allow business person to solve simple problems without hiring a good software developer..."

There seems to be an implication that an org using PHP has not also hired good software developers. Or that a good software developer would not use PHP.

My logic skills may be a bit rusty at this point, but I suspect that's what altdatathrow was reacting to.
One more thing, I think the viability of communicating with an intelligence of a different kind is still an open question. It's speculated that intelligences that are too different in form or quantity might not be able to communicate with each other at all.

Likely the most probable scenario of our contact with extraterrestrial intelligence is they will completely ignore us, and will not attempt to communicate, or even if they attempt to, we will not perceive it as communication.
It's already been tried : http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2143/paper9.pdf. In a nutshell : NLP techniques don't work so well on the text of law, because it's too messy.
I hate the recent “Cancel Culture” thing (that the phenomenon you descrive is an instance of).

Firstly, and beside the point, the term itself is wonderfully (though I suspect accidentally) ambiguous and self-defeating, as one can read it as “the culture of a cancelling” (as intended) or “this will cancel culure” (a possible side-effect).

Anyway... yes, cancel culture... I criticised it here once previously and amongst the various responses, most contrarian, was one that stuck with me: paraphrasing, it read “you’ve always told us to vote with our feet and now you’re complaining about cancel culture?”

Clearly this responder considered “cancel culture” to be the latest term for “boycot”, but I don’t think that’s accurate. I cannot (yet?) justify even to myself what utterly subtle distinction must exist between the two, but until I do and probably even thereafter I will accept that they do have a point.
I'm not trying to say that some licenses are better than others. They just have different implications. And I often see that people fail to properly think about those. Yes, MIT implies that anyone can just take your code and run with it. But so can you.

APGL on the other hand requires more upfront thought about how you're going to organize the project in general and what you might do with it later on.
Biological Aspect of Pathophysiology for Frozen Shoulder

https://www.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/2018/7274517/

Would be potentially useful to get yourself genetic sequence and/or biopsy and RNASEQ because you could identify which genes are up or down regulated to cause the condition, and theoretically you could treat this with something like RNA interference.

For example if your frozen shoulder is caused by reduced production of the Matrix Metalloproteins which break down collagen, then you could either reduce collagen production or insert additional copies of the MMP genes.

Or, if the frozen shoulder mechanism is directly immunologic, it could be autoimmune, in which case you could try to induce tolerance with some supressive immunotherapy as has been effective for some folks with Asthma.

Another possibility would be the frozen shoulder is an overt manifestation of another underlying condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or cancer (paraneoplastic frozen shoulder)

If the pain is truly unbearable, you could look at more distal nerve blocks, or sensory-only nerve blocks, perhaps you could try a clinical trial for NaV1.7 knockdown (to turn off a critical pain gene in a local area, such as the dorsal root ganglion for the correct dermatome)

Not a doc but did pass USMLE before switch to engineering. Hope it helps. Feel better dude!
Various people including me have proposed mixing filaments by printing the filament. However, there are some good ideas here that had not occurred to me. I suspect forms of this have been invented multiple times.

I was in a similar situation. My outlook.com account was locked because I was violating their "no nudity" policy and some random naked girls (legal aged ofc!) were uploaded to skydrive. This happened several years ago.

I lost everything and couldnt access any mails.

After trying everything possible online, I wrote Microsoft a letter. A real letter on paper. Several weeks later I got a reply that they could do nothing as their tos was violated.

FUCK microsoft. Since then I am very careful with centralization of accounts. I am using many different email and cloud provider today and despise people who are happy that e.g. apple is today providing everything: from music over cloud to movies, mail, pay and so much more.
An interesting related fact is that the 48k Sinclair Spectrum also used 8 32kBit DRAMs (in addition to 8 16kBit chips).

However, these were not the special modules used in the Apple 3, but 64kBit DRAMs which had a fault in one half of the matrix, such as TI TMS4532-20 or OKI M3732.
The defective half of the chip was simply disabled.
> Can databases be efficiently implemented without shared access?

Let me ask a different question: Why did databases take off in the way they did? Sure they persist stuff to disk, but so do files. What they offer is a concurrency model so good that you almost never think about it. Beginner programmers can competently write large, concurrent systems by writing single-threaded programs which are backed by a central DB, without even knowing the term "race condition".

If beginner database articles told users how to make database Threads, Thread groups, and how to signal and catch interruptions, I don't think databases would have enjoyed nearly as much popularity.

While Threads are fundamental to Java concurrency, I kinda agree with yetkin's point. It introduces the Thread footgun without even paying lip service to the problems of shared, mutable state.
You can't issue a takedown notice or take legal action if you don't have standing.

I’m pretty sure you misread the article. City driving is 3x more likely to result in an an accident compared to highways, not self driving. The numbers are one accident every 1.7M miles for autopilot in city conditions vs an accident every 500k miles global average (including highways, for which Teslas ratio is 1 in 5 million miles).
PHP 5 wasn't fine at the time which is what the GP was saying. It was inconsistent and stupid and only carried on because it was the default option on shared hosting so everyone could easily throw up their b2^H^H Wordpress blog.

PHP would have been abandoned years ago if not for Wordpress' worse is better success story.
At my startup [0] it's still early days, but we're trying to use the Superhuman "engine" [1] for testing PMF. Basically this is a survey where you ask your users how disappointed they'd be if they couldn't use your product anymore, and if enough say "very disappointed", then you're on to something. By no means is it the only/best measure of PMF, but it's a data point.

It does tell you when though.
I think even the idea of having a tombstone is a sort of legacy. People made cave-paintings to leave something behind. We all want to cling to existence somehow and want to leave a mark on world when we leave. The simplest way maybe is to have children, so your gene would live on after you.
They told you specifically it's because you use a VPN to connect, or is this your guess?
Ok, what do you mean by “Russia and China push the envelope wherever they can”? Like in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria and Libya?

Hi, Catala author here :) I totally agree that law should be readable and the Norwegian initiative seems great ! However at least in France we're stuck with the law he have and while some are rightfully proposing some simplification (https://www.revolution-fiscale.fr/), we need a good way to apply the current law faithfully not to end up in situations like this one: https://twitter.com/DMerigoux/status/1304367420639973381.

If humans did the crazy stuff on the road at the same rate as we've seen from the few select hours of FSD driving uploaded by Tesla owners (who are fans and more likely trying to show it at it's best) this week, we'd all be dead.

You'd be surprised at the complexity involved moving 1-5MM USD across borders, even those without capital controls. And there is definitely a limit on global throughput of dollar movement, which is roughly the slowest processing rate of all the bank compliance divisions involved in the transfer. For complex cross-border transfers there may be more than 2 banks involved.

Greater amounts still would attract even more scrutiny due to AML and KYC regulations in most jurisdictions.

If you're dealing with capital controls, which many large economies now have, the complexity is exponentially higher. You're also assuming that telecommunications networks, physical infrastructure, particularly power, are in good working order when you want to do the transfer. That may be the case 99.99% of the time, but the edge case should also be a consideration.
You're confusing servile with having an ounce of professionalism.
If you bought one of those products, could you then return it for a full refund after getting the account unlocked? You might still have to pay for shipping costs, but I imagine that checking and repackaging a product costs Facebook money too.

Perhaps Facebook would lock the account again after processing the returned product, but that should give the user enough time to export any useful data from the account, and to provide alternative contact details to any Facebook-only friends.
Unclear why this is relevant to HackerNews? For what its worth, it looks like the Ruqqus "space" is dead as well? 33 members?

If it is your own project, which doesn't depend on other's, then you can simply change it anytime you like if you decided GPLv3 no longer suited your needs. It is typically problematic when you are using someone else's program released under GPL; they released it under GPL hoping for what GPL entails.
Yes, this is a big feature I like of cardinal systems, particularly STAR and range/score. Although I would take approval voting any day of the year since it captures most things while being simplistic. But I think in an more information based world and where we make policies based on information, a simple voting mechanism where we can capture fine voter preference should allow us to better govern the society (assuming good intentions).

The distance is unknown[1] and if it were very far away, it actually could be a Jupiter-sized planet - I believe there was other circumstantial evidence that suggested this didn't "move" like a gas giant. I am not sure what a "Gaia proper motion measurement of the source" means [this is from the article] but I am not an astronomer and didn't read the whole article.

Keep in mind how they detected this: they looked at the gravitational distortion of light caused by the planet's influence. We are used to seeing this gravitational lensing with black holes, which is visibly obvious even to an untrained human eye. The effect exists for every object with mass, but it's extremely tiny for planet-mass objects. For planet detection without a host star, it is the best measurement we have, but it's very finnicky and doesn't contain very much information compared to spectral analyses, motion around a host star, etc.

From that paper's abstract:

> Although in practice [rogue planets] do not emit any light, they may be detected using gravitational microlensing via their light-bending gravity. Microlensing events due to terrestrial-mass rogue planets are expected to have extremely small angular Einstein radii (~ 1 µas) and extremely short timescales (~ 0.1 day). Here, we
present the discovery of the shortest-timescale microlensing event, OGLE-2016-BLG-1928, identified to date (tE ≈ 0.0288 day = 41.5 min). Thanks to the detection of finite-source effects in the light curve of the event, we were able to measure the angular Einstein radius of the lens θE = 0.842 ± 0.064 µas, making the event the most extreme short-timescale microlens discovered to date. Depending on its unknown distance, the lens may be a Mars- to Earth-mass object, with the former possibility favored
by the Gaia proper motion measurement of the source. The planet may be orbiting a star but we rule out the presence of stellar companions up to the projected distance of ∼ 8.0 au from the planet. Our discovery demonstrates that terrestrial-mass free-floating planets can be detected and characterized using microlensing.

Theres a few issues here. One is that Bitcoin is largely a settling layer where batched transactions occur. Its not 1 transaction per tx even right now. Layer 2 networks of all kinds are handling the vast majority of traffic of bitcoin. More bitcoin moves on the ethereum blockchain than the bitcoin blockchain. And then we get cash app, paypal, the crypto exchanges, etc. Even hardware wallets like Ledger could batch transactions potentially in the future. So bitcoin frequent transactions largely run through top layer systems until its time to settle on the main chain which is infrequent/a small fraction of the total top volume. Also 95% of people who use bitcoin dont even have a hardware wallet, they just use the exchanges...for better or worse. Then you get into things like the lighting network.

As for the Princeton study...Ill have to look at it but I'm skeptical they consider things like more batched transaction volume per tx in the future which could be harnessed to also have a more concentrated fee structure providing stability to the chain. Also changes can be made through consensus if needed...like segwit.
Thus the last paragraph of my comment.
The problem is that many of the contributions are deeply intertwined with the current codebase, which is a derivative of those contributions.

Excel enables even less technical people than Wordpress configurers. It provides 99.999999% of the solution, and the rest can be done with macros, pivot tables, etc. That's why it's a good example, I'd say.
There is still the last AGPL version. The most effective retaliation is to make a fork that is much, much better than the closed version. Less drama, more work, I know.
Not sure I understand the relevance.

Again, the general idea of both nuclear and non-nuclear brinkmanship is to avoid WWIII or anything close to it. Starting and participating in relatively small wars[1] does not change that calculus.

[1] I say small because WWII killed 85,000,000 in 6 years. The goal is to avoid that (or worse), not to avoid all death by war period.
An Ocean Separated Them. A Surfboard Connected Them
What? The real numbers, with all the uncomputable reals included, are used in every corner of physics, not just in string theory. There is no treatment of calculus (with any semblance of popularity) that does not feature the usual real line.

First of all, there is no application of physics where uncomputable reals make one bit of difference. Unpopular treatments of Calculus that only deal with computable numbers exist and produce the same results for physics.

Secondly, physicists have a well-known disregard for whether official mathematical constructions support how they are using them. To name but two examples, both the Dirac delta and renormalization were in wide use long before any formalization existed that could justify them.

Given that, there is no way in which the use of mathematics by physics serves as justification for the reality of the obscure mathematical notions that mathematicians have developed.

Ah yes, the US government in the '50s was known for its cool headedness around soviet propoganda. The government certainly never did anything objectionable or concerning when given the ability to coerce those with suspected antigovernment sentiment.

I've read the actual studies. They don't show benefits.

The reason I ask you to provide the studies you think are persuasive is so we avoid the tedious discussion about cherry picking. I cannot cherry pick articles that you supply.

Lancet is a reputable high impact publication. The paper is peer reviewed.

> Transmission of viruses was lower with physical distancing of 1 m or more, compared with a distance of less than 1 m (n=10 736, pooled adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0·18, 95% CI 0·09 to 0·38; risk difference [RD] −10·2%, 95% CI −11·5 to −7·5; moderate certainty); protection was increased as distance was lengthened (change in relative risk [RR] 2·02 per m; pinteraction=0·041; moderate certainty). Face mask use could result in a large reduction in risk of infection (n=2647; aOR 0·15, 95% CI 0·07 to 0·34, RD −14·3%, −15·9 to −10·7; low certainty), with stronger associations with N95 or similar respirators compared with disposable surgical masks or similar (eg, reusable 12–16-layer cotton masks; pinteraction=0·090; posterior probability >95%, low certainty).

For masking they find only "low certainty" evidence, and that's with N95s or 12 to 16 layers of cotton. (Most people are wearing 3 to 4 layers).

Low certainty comes from GRADE and means "The true effect might be markedly different from the estimated effect" -- masks may be markedly more, or markedly less, effective than they found.

> What you won't find though is studies supporting the assertion that sick person wearing a mask protects others, not the wearer. Those are the studies that show little to no benefit and always did actually. You protect others with a mask by not catching the virus yourself, it's a second order effect.

Oh-ho, so here we see a clearly shifted goalpost. Everyone else in this thread is saying that the science is obvious and that you wear a mask to prevent your infection from spreading to other people. So, does the science support "source control" or not?
