Regular people who want to lose their life savings can still do so via overleveraged real estate, investing informally in small businesses, margin daytrading, sports betting, purchasing vanity higher education credentials, and nowadays, cryptocurrencies/cryptotokens.

So, this won't cause any more people to lose money, but it may change the mix of things they lose it on.

And because this will also open to non-wealthy people many good deals in above-board companies, that have been scrupulously following the law & attracting rich sophisticated investors, it will also benefit those well-behaved companies and their less-rich friends, family, supporters, & customers – a win for society.

> Is a GoFundMe campaign outside of the realm of possibility? I know that I'd contribute to such a worthy effort, but only if the rest of the players would pledge to fund current operations.

The biggest GoFundMe campaign according to Wikipedia only raised $25 million in 2020 dollars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoFundMe#Notable_projects, Bannon's et al's fraudulent We Build the Wall project). Arecibo cost $9.3 million to build in 1963 dollars (https://ethw.org/Milestones:NAIC/Arecibo_Radiotelescope,_196...), which is about $80 million in 2020 dollars. Even after one-time construction costs, millions in ongoing operating costs and maintenance would be required as well.

So, no, a GoFundMe campaign to rebuild it is not a possibility. Even hot-button political issues can't get close to the needed funds, and this is not ever going to be a hot-button issue.
> You have to at least click on the thing to up vote it or not.

I always thought this was a good idea. I've seen exactly one platform try it (Quora) and they dropped it for some reason. Their version was especially good because you had to read the full answer to even see the vote buttons.

Other forums implement some other form of quality control that's based on the user's reputation but I think this is better, as it can be enforced on every post, regardless of the user's reputation.
Unfortunately, I think the article is saying that the telescope is now at a point where decommissioning it in a controlled manner is the only safe option.
We went through that as a company building custom machine learning products for enterprise. We started pushing for remote work as a forcing function to expose our inefficiencies.

We're building a machine learning platform[0] that addresses these problems. No setup collaborative notebooks where you can see each other's cursors on a notebook and help each other troubleshoot issues. Scheduled notebooks so you don't keep your browser tab open and risk losing results if you're disconnected: you want to try something? Launch the notebook and keep doing what you're doing. Automatic tracking for parameters, metrics, and models. One click model deployment. Multiple checkpoints for notebooks, etc.

All these features were discovered. For examples, we had big workstations with high compute capabilities to train models, but this required going to the office or setting a VPN. Using these required people to coordinate for their training jobs. Data flying around. Tracking experiments required deliberate action. People couldn't train a model at home unless they had a powerful laptop, and there were limits to the models they could train. Sometimes they wasted days dealing with dependencies/setup/upgrades (NVIDIA/CUDA/Tensorflow/GPU). We also hit the "it works on my machine" which required more deliberate stuff.

We wanted to be able to do work from anywhere, on any laptop. We wanted to be able to afford a work machine burning down, pulling a new one, installing OS, go to the platform, and keep on working.

> I have in fact built tons of projects and worked on large codebases, but I'm not certain that makes me an engineer or that any of this is a genuine accomplishment.

I don't know your background, you'll need to figure out some yourself.

I've heard in my career two conflicting opinions. Opinion A: "You can't be a real engineer unless you built something from scratch." Opinion B: "You can't be a real engineer unless you've worked on a large scale project." The number of engineers that have worked continuously on one project from inception to millions of customers is pretty small. Most of us either take a project from inception to some small scale over the course of a couple years, or we are dropped into an existing project that has scaled to one size and we keep it up and running (and maybe growing) for a couple years. There are different challenges with both taking a project from inception to a small scale and with managing something at a large scale, and they are both valuable.

> I should already know all this at this point in my career.

I don't know how far along you are in your career, but programming exercises are valuable whether you've been programming for a couple years or several decades.

There's always more to learn. Not knowing something about software engineering doesn't disqualify you from being a software engineer.

One other thing I do I forgot to mention: ask others for specific feedback. If you're not sure about how you did on something, hearing from someone who you trust to be honest can be helpful relieve your concerns, or help you to at least make your gaps more concrete.
I sort of agree, but your advice is targeted at an entirely different group of students than the article's. If someone is confused about how to interpret sin^2(x) vs sin^{-1}(x), there's no amount of "understanding" that's going to help them (it really is just idiosyncratic, inconsistent notation), but a checklist like the article might clue them in.

I think students often underestimate what "understand" means in a math class. The progression you're describing ("the first couple of semesters are foundational...") is definitely not universal in US undergrad programs, though. There's just not that much coordination between professors.

Long-running discussions.

The lifespan of a Reddit/HN submission is basically a day. Past that point and it's unlikely anyone will even read your comment.

In such cases, a traditional forum's bumping system lets you pick up timeless conversations for new people to take part of. So many times an archived Reddit thread will show up in Google results and it's sad that I can't contribute to the discussion nor will anyone read it if I could.
Because doing so would communicate with the publisher's web server before the user has clicked on any results, deanonymizing the user to the publishers of all the results on the page.

I consider the excerpt to be useless visual noise almost always, the page speed would be much more useful for me.

I’d be careful making claims about this ending up with more features than VLC.

And there might be other things I don’t know about that can’t be done in the browser.
Affirmative action is about policy and the law. I was referring to a newer trend wherein middle management assumes the role of thought police and decides for others how well educated they are in "historical struggles that various groups have gone through and realizing how that impacts them today."

Indeed - and neither the accredited investor law nor the SEC's other enforcement have helped.

And a bunch of non-COVID deaths were COVID related. This is why you look at all-cause mortality---where in the US/UK at least, things look worse, not better.
Conceptually, age adjustment is something like population adjustment with consideration for age or age bins. As a simple example, suppose you find that the death rate for people 0-64 is X% and 65+ is Y% in 2019.

These rates change in 2020, but the proportion of the population in these age groups changes, too. So you set a baseline proportion (maybe equal to 2019), compute the per-age-group death rates in 2020, and rescale the total death rate so that the age proportions are the same as the 2019 baseline.

The ultimate goal is to correct for the effects of changing age demographics in computing the death rate. You'd use it if want to look at changes that are corrected for, for example, the population as a whole aging.
I hate how people have to use "cancerous" everywhere. Out of respect please use a different word.

Ask someone what they think of something as "political" as the H-1B program, let alone, oh, federal cheese labeling standards, and you'll see a lot of people who say "There are good and bad parts, I think we should keep the good parts and reform the bad ones, and my opinion on which specific parts are good or bad can be influenced by quality journalism."

There are underlying trends in that chart that aren't evident on first glance. The latest data on that chart is from July 2020, several months ago when Sweden had their numbers under decent control.

Even at that take a look at the last few columns, more particularly the slope from month to month in the last couple years. Note how from July 2019 through March 2020 the levels were at or below the previous years, however in the last few months the slope accelerates to an increasing upward monthly trend. I would be quite curious to see this chart with August, Sept, and Oct 2020 data included to see if that acceleration continued. Consider this is what Sweden's case count has looked like: https://i.imgur.com/ofUhXvK.png

In essence this chart is really showing only about 4 months of pandemic influence, and at a time when Sweden was doing pretty well. But in those last 4 months there is a clear accelerating trend in relation to the previous years. I won't say this was cherry picked to be misleading, but at the least it is an incomplete representation of what is happening now.

LA Clojure Meetup: Writing Clojure on the Command Line with Babashka
The suggestion that you make here is that when the telescope was funded in the 1950s, our national political leadership class identified itself less strongly as a capitalist free-market nation than it does today.

For reference, the nation's leadership in the 1950s included the likes of Senator McCarthy, and his famous hearings ran through about 1954. Have you heard of the "Red Scare"? No, Arecibo is the brainchild of the Cold War military-industrial complex, originally meant to help steer anti-ballistic missiles (as part of the DEFENDER program), and we should not shed too many tears that those days are over.

In 2013 there's no image[1]. In 2014 the Sun is yellow-orange[2]. In 2015 it's white[3]. In 2016 it's briefly orange again[4] before going back to white. At one point it's sort of eye-of-sauron[5].

> DoH does absolutely nothing that helps privacy since the destination IP address is always clear

There are multiple situations where destination IPs are shared across multiple websites, and DNS blacklisting is a common censorship technique in multiple firewalls and ISP blacklists.

This take is just completely wrong. Of course DNS records should be handled via HTTPS, of course it's a bad idea to do DNS via plaintext. This shouldn't be complicated, why are we still fighting over whether or not encrypting personal data in transit is a good idea?

I have seen more people on Hackernews than anywhere else on the entire web bash HTTPS encryption, and I genuinely do not understand how this forum, of all places, can be home to such a bad security take. Stop designing and advocating for Internet protocols to be monster-in-the-middled!

It is a kind of backwards reasoning that students empirically screw up all the time.

Mac mini and Apple Silicon M1 review: Not so crazy after all
The problem exists in the educational methods, in my opinion. It seems most, not just in mathematics, feel that learning is the same as if the student can simply be played a tape that cannot be paused or rewound but can sometimes be sped up. Nearly nothing works like this, and it’s just that the penalties in mathematics are greater.

I think of the ideal learning path as a sort of circular, recursive path that bends back and goes back over itself from time to time. Imagine a human painting a canvas. One does not simply do a raster scan, painting pixel by pixel in a linear fashion. By the time the painting is done, the piece has been gone over multiple times with multiple layers of finer and finer detail. A painting is a mishmash of broad and finer strokes, with some layers simply forming foundational layers for the later portions.

A pyramid is the wrong metaphor. In my opinion, learning mathematics should be like creating a painting.

One of the best examples of this I know of is the book Advanced Calculus: A Differential Forms Approach by Harold Edwards. The first three chapters introduce the material heuristically. The next three chapters circle back on the material, thoroughly proving everything introduced in the first three chapters. The remaining chapters greet the student with applications and extensions of the material. In the preface, Edwards states that he wanted the book to be able to be opened to any page and be read and make sense. It’s a wonderful goal, and he achieves it.
