After taking the survey, I must express two things that I've realized during the survey.

For one, my personal preference may not be the chest that is "more aesthetically pleasing" even though that is what the survey explicitly asks for. There are considerations other than aesthetics that should be considered. In my opinion, instead of the survey showing two cases (one perfect, one slightly afflicted), the survey should show just the afflicted chest and ask "is this aesthetically pleasing or not". Of course the perfect chest is more pleasing, but that does not mean that there was any problem requiring intervention on the other chest.

I've noticed that asymmetry with regards to breast size really are not a problem (for me), even in extreme cases. I've noticed this asymmetry in many women who have not had breast cancer or other afflictions. However, nipple asymmetry does stand out, especially vertical asymmetry. Two nipples at different heights does look terrible, and if aesthetics are an issue then I could understand performing surgery for those cases.

Based on what is on the laptop possibly Texas, if the laptop had open access to your life savings or was your work laptop and one would lose a substantial sum given the loss of business from losing the laptop, or it held trade secrets then it may qualify as highly defensible property, in which case in Texas it would possibly not be prosecutable, but even those are long odds:

I was discussing with someone in Germany (when looking for a car) about the plugin hybrids and how a lot of companies here buy them for the low taxes and subsidies and then use them almost exclusively as standard ICE cars or to the minimum possible in E mode as the infrastructure is not there yet and in the end, why bother any more? you got the tax cuts and subsidies...

I was rather surprised that it wasn't discrete convolution in the article, after the hospital analogy. Perhaps even with finite summation first, and generalized afterwards; otherwise there's a bit of a leap.
There's a brilliant (and free) book called The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing which covers this and other DSP topics. It's very readable and clear - I found it super useful in understanding DSP and the maths surrounding it.

Most of the time the actual stuff happening is quite simple, but if you're not living and breathing mathematical notation the conventional explanations can be quite impenetrable. This book puts everything out in code, so you can follow the steps and truly understand what's happening.

> Don't forget that do not have enough to stake can pool their resources together.

That's great! And makes a lot of sense. However, it still requires locking capital. Those who do not have a lot of money, spend a much higher percentage of their money, and therefore need it to be liquid. So though pooling may reduce the effect of inflationary rich-poor inequality increases, I don't think it would eliminate it.
Nope. I design electronics professionally and I rarely do breadboard prototypes (and almost never using a solderless breadboard). This is because I can be reasonably confident about the behaviour of most circuits with perhaps a little bit of simulation using a SPICE model for some analogue parts. For complex digital logic (which is very rare to design using seperate ICs these days, you would use an FPGA) there is a multitude of simulation systems you can use as well to test your design (including some of the design tools for FPGAs).

PCBs can be made cheaply and on short notices these days (I can get 5-off a 4-layer PCB for $200 in 4 days, and that extends both cheaper if I can wait longer and shorter if I want to pay more), and solderless breadboards are atrocious for almost anything I'd want to prototype (the parasitic capacitances, inductances, and resistances are all really bad. sensitive analog circuits, high-speed digital, and power electronics all suffer badly from those).
I would say this goes beyond emotional. You only have finite resources. You have chosen to spend some money to avoid spending time and effort. That's a very reasonable call. Businesses do this all the time when they hire more staff.

There are other ways to get a "higher fraction of the output" that do not involve contributing to the input. That is the point you are missing.

For the use case of "I need a Docker image with some programs", this command seems pretty neat. Nixery is a similar with Nix, where an image can be constructed ad-hoc by specifying the dependencies of an image's path.

That's cool. And I can imagine cases where it's useful.

Stuff like Nixery isn't itself enough to claim "nix is better than Docker", though. -- The questions I'd want to think about are "what happens when I run into a problem? how hard is it to fix this?". I feel like Nix does solve some problems that I've had with Dockerfiles. But there are also problems I've run into with Nix that I wouldn't've had with Nix.

I like nix well enough. But I've also used it enough that I'm not surprised if people have difficulties with it, and are more comfortable with other solutions.
To my mind, a system that shunts people into teaching elementary school in a way that actively creates early educators with a math phobia has got to have serious long term consequences, even for a lot of people who are good at it. We all get told "math is so hard," not just the bad students.

People who think a thing is hard and must be dealt with in a serious manner will use formal methods to ward off their fear of the topic or their fears of social perception. It takes a great deal of confidence to say "We are just going to have fun today and play with this wonderful topic!"

They exist, but they aren't the norm.
Hi HN,

Earlier this year as meetings moved online, I found myself drowning into them, unable to get any real work done. As I looked around for a tool to audit my calendar to figure out patterns of how my time was being spent, couldn't find any great option out there!

So, I did some data science [1] on calendar and discovered 3 primary dimensions which cause meetings to be draining and ineffective:

1. Wrong people in meetings
2. Agenda not well defined
3. Schedule not optimized for individuals

I was able to leverage these insights and cut down my weekly meetings into half!
Hence, decided to build a service so people in similar situation can seamlessly do the same.

I'd love to have you try and hear what could be built on top of the analytics to create more value for you?

Sloven deep learning-Continuous Bernoulli Distribution-Simulator&Test Statistic
provide you the simulator and test statistic of continuous Bernoulli distribution.
It also provides more than the case of continuous Bernoulli distribution, such as two continuous Bernoulli distributions and continuous trinomial distribution.
As a matter of principle, I will contest any attempt to frame the right to carry on one's person a weapon into the same vein as a driver's license. It is an explicitly granted right. If you look at how traffic enforcement has worked out (in spite of the fact we still play it up as a privilege), senior citizens and the disabled are still at a major disadvantage in mobility in their more enfeebled years, and no semblance of lessening of the regulations of any option to move around ever becomes apparent. It is also utilized as a significant source of revenue generation as particularly notorious small towns are well known for changing up speed limits ob chunks of major roads they straddle just for the bump in revenue.

It is also notable, that gun control also fell under that same set of "State's rights" contributing to the original Civil War, and to hell with the well soap boxed dolts who insist that the only issue the Civil War was predicated on was Slavery. It wasn't. It was only indirectly so because the framework for expansion of Slavery was seen as falling under the banner of State's rights at the time, just as much as gun control itself was also seen as falling under State's rights. It's not a dog-whistle, it's what it bloody was.

Tangent aside, it basically boils down to the fundamental division of "rural v. Urban" in the United States, and to be frank, I side with the ruralites. Just because a bunch of people gather together in one place should not generate some emergent privilege that everyone loses an explicitly granted right except law enforcement. Period. Gun control almost universally arises out of some group being uncomfortable with another group having guns, and the group that's uncomfortable tends to be fine and dandy letting the authorities strut around with them, and would be unlikely to carry anyway; much like how pro public-transit folk seem to be more than okay with onerous vehicle regulation, but balk when the same laws or tenets are applied to them. Better to just not throw anyone under the bus at all.

Call me a yokel if you want. I've seen too much flung in the way of wrapping up other folk's rights in my lifetime in the name of public safety with no signs of a return in sight. Until I see some loosening up, or some honest give and take, I"m in the "not one more inch" camp.

WSL and .NET as open-source?

Their R&D budget in 2019 was twice that in 2010, meanwhile sales and marketing budget increased by 30%.

Their Productivity and Business Processes (which includes Office, Dynamics, ERP and LinkedIn) accounted for 1/3 of global sales revenue in 2019.

Sure, there are some things that have stayed the same in the last 10 years, but of all the FAANGS I would argue that MS is the company that changed the most in the last 10 years.

Things are so much better now. I used to use Arch Linux around that time while I was at university. During my coursework I was procrastinating and decided to upgrade my entire system. It broke. With only hours left until the deadline I chucked in one of those free Ubuntu CDs I have lying around and was back up and running within an hour.

I stayed on Ubuntu for years after that. But now I've gone back to Gentoo and it's very impressive. Everything just works. I'm sure it's partly due to my extra experience but I really don't have a problem with stuff breaking. Things are so much better now.
DigitalOcean also has managed databases+backups. I'm not sure how it compares on price/reliability though.

>So hybrids ended up as biggest polluting passenger cars in real world, when averaged.

like the article itself, that statement is subject to a lot of conditions to the extent that it is meaningless without clearly stating all those conditions. For example, even without charging i average 48mpg on the previous gen Prius Plugin (and i do drive 85-90 on 237 - better aerodynamics results in very good mileage even at speed). You need very-very special setup, far-far from real world, for that to become "biggest polluting" .

Yes, Amazon doesn't care about privacy, Google only kills products, and Facebook is only interested in whatever increases ad click throughs.

Show HN: A TypeScript library for the web starter kit
I personally don't. I haven't bought a single Sony product since their rootkit fiasco 15 years ago [1]. I don't buy products with DRM on them: I buy classical music DRM free from an excellent record label called Hyperion (many of my friends in the choral music circuit have been recorded by them); I don't buy DVDs; I legally format-shift media freely streamed on OTA TV broadcasts, and I don't buy DRM encumbered things online. My indie games come from itch.io and my "indie" games come from gog.com.

The trouble is, (a) doing this is a bit of a giant PITA, and (b) companies never know that you're not there. Sony doesn't know, and doesn't care, that I don't buy their products because of their aggressive pro-DRM stance. I am one consumer, many sigma away from mu, and slowly but surely I look like an antiquated relic: streaming has been so successful, and Widevine so ubiquitous, that it's almost impossible to join the "normal world" without being subjected to (unwanted) DRM.

They are complementary.

If a sub-process gets OOMKilled and the container doesn't die, then it's most likely that the parent process didn't handle that scenario. In which case the health-check wouldn't cover that issue.
I think it's somewhat unfair to use number of packages vs Nix as an argument against Guix.

Nixpkgs has the biggest package repository of all the distributions, and a much larger community.

If you compare Guix against Arch for example, Guix comes out more favorably (15k packages) vs Arch's 12k.

Guix packages tend to be very well integrated too, usually running upstream test suites, leading to fewer run-time problems. I think only Debian and Fedora matches Guix on this practice.

There are a few simple things one could do:

* Limit the power of the ICE to 80HP or whatever, so that these cars are not fun to drive with gas

* Only pay out the tax rebates if the computer shows a sufficient number of charging events, say a year after purchase

* Give employees "electricity cards" similar to the "fuel cards" they receive today for refueling company cars

“And that's useful if you have say, smart outdoor lights which could be out of your Wifi range.”

…and inside of that of you neighbor, and your WiFi can reach your neighbor’s WiFi. I have trouble imagining cases where that applies. The first part might apply if you have a large garden, your neighbor a tiny one, and you want lights all over your garden. However, that still wouldn’t help with the “your WiFi can reach your neighbor’s WiFi” part, unless that goes over the internet, via Amazon’s servers (introducing a new point of failure in the process)

I think the use case is more “where’s my dog/child/stolen laptop?”
It also greatly depends on how they are driven. I was chatting to a Lexus dealer a couple of years ago and asked about the claimed 5.5l/100km of the RX450h (SUV). He said "the way our customers typically drive, it's closer to 10l/100km". If you drive like a grandpa you probably can get the claimed economy, but most people aren't going to do that.

Agreed that rights are for everyone, equally applied. It only has to do with it insofar as the conditions he mentions: red states tend to be shall issue, blue states tend to be may issue. If you doubt that's true, look at this map:

Now, that map is 18 years old and things may have changed a little since then, but I doubt it's changed much. This is why, as mentioned above, "may issue" is ripe for graft and corruption.

Well, duh. No system will ever be perfect and there will always be costs associated with BFT systems. The question is knowing how these systems compare with one another and what kind of trade-offs are there.

It is impossible to dispute that the costs of keeping a PoS-based system is overall lower than the current state-of-the-art, yet you try to knock PoS while ignoring all the analog issues with PoW? Your cognitive dissonance is showing.
