The documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi has a poignant commentary on this. Jiro's oldest son is expected to eventually take over Jiro's sushi place, so as a result essentially is toiling for his father into old age. On the other hand, somewhat ironically Jiro's younger son actually has more freedom, so he strikes out on his own pretty early and has his own very successful sushi joint.

>Google violated US labor laws by spying on workers who were organizing employee protests, then firing two of them, according to a complaint to be filed by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) today.

This part of the article seems pretty clear. It also sounds like one of the fired employees did something involving looking at other people's calendars, but that the core reason that they were fired was for union-related activities.
It's about exposure in general, not just food. The Disneyland sign is likely because they use gasoline engines in various places - same reason as parking garages. Might also be from sand in kid play areas or anything involving dust.

The power density isn't the only variable that matters. The difference doesn't matter if the cost to build a Thorium Molten Salt Reactor is much lower, especially in terms of safety and size. MSR's don't need enormous containment vessels, they also reprocess fuel.

Here's some links showing power densities inline with PWRs, or greater:

"Extrapolating from other liquid-to-liquid heat exchangers, roughly 150 MW/m3 is a practical upper limit to the power density of a primary-to-intermediate salt heat exchanger. For comparison, pressurized-water reactor core power density is ~110 MW/m3."

> You are playing Russian roulette that I do not wish to play. In majority of the cases COVID-19 is not lethal at all

You accuse them of playing Russian roulette while you justify not taking the vaccine with "the majority of COVID cases aren't lethal"?

1.5 million people have died.

> I want to know how likely it is for asymptomatic people to spread the virus. I swear, I will keep checking the responses because I am curious how likely it is that people will catch it from me

If you're trying to determine the risk of someone catching it from you (and assuming that you'd immediately self-isolate when you start experiencing symptoms) you should be looking at pre-symptomatic transmission rather than just asymptomatic transmission.

Here's a study that finds that around 44% of infections happened in the presymptomatic stage: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0869-5?fbclid=IwA...

Very well, but what would you propose we do differently?

There's already going to be a big PR campaign to encourage people to have the vaccine.

Do you want to delay it and do more trials?

Actually I did hear one good idea which was to pay people $1000 to get vaccinated. In economic terms, its a bargain.

Since half this thread gives workarounds, and since I had the same problem, I'll share my workaround: you can tell Google that a particular contact is your wife. There's a "relationship" field in contacts. Now I can say "call my wife" and it mostly works, although saying her name is still hopeless.
The story is that Kongo Gumi was founded by people who had worked on the first Buddhist temple, but the first Buddhist temple, Hōkō-ji, wasn't started until 588. Not sure exactly what's going on there, someone should check the paperwork.

I've tried CBD before and it mainly made me tired and slightly headachey. I can confirm Delta-8-THC at least will definitely get you very high. It feels slightly different than D9 but it is honestly hard to describe exactly how. Some describe it as being better for people that get anxious on d9 but I have also heard the opposite. I have seen some reports of people having really bad times from eating a ton of candies. Similar problems as with normal edibles, so regulators will feel compelled to step in. Mixing in a little bit of cbd or other cannabinoids seems to enhance the experience and make it more like normal flower.

There's a lot of fanciful stuff about "creative" and "absent-minded" people doing the best work, but what actually makes a good researcher is the same as in any other field: (a) curiosity (b) determination, and (c) hard work.

PhD programs don't take people who just have a good GPA; you have to have a research record before you're even in the consideration. I've been on an admissions committee, so this is not conjecture.
I'm now seeing "Trello is slow or unavailable" on the status page.
I'd agree if this redline didn't require several departments to sign off costing $x million. Internal developers, internal security ops, legal, and C-suite coordinating these departments.

Also Google is very special in that their employees are extremely sophisticated and curious, so they need ~complete~ control of any electronics that access their networks.

"Whew... we're all totally psyched with node, and all have experience with it, know how to solve problems with it... but we're going to commit to Django. We don't want to, but we're going to."

Does that exchange ever happen? I've seen the opposite - almost every tech stack I've seen at small and medium sized companies was primarily the result of the few decision makers who had experiences (good or bad) with specific tech which influenced their decision to use X.
Your math is correct. I would say two draws per week is wrong but I'm not a lottery expert. Every 10 years may seem surprisingly often, but we are including sequences like 2,3,5,7,11,13 which most people wouldn't find special. Even 10,12,14,16,18,20 (double of this "special" sequence) I think a lot of people wouldn't care as much.
Ask HN: Has Atlassian Ruined Trello?
I really love Trello and use it extensively. But in recent years I have noticed a slow, but steady degradation of product and service quality. Right now, I can't continue working since Trello is once more "slow or unavailable" [1]. I am frustrated and thinking about other options. What do you think?

Sorry I wasn't clear, I was saying it's vague what there would be a new purchase min of $1k (now according to the rep it is their internal policy is whatever level you were contracted at is the new min.). Since capacity for Snowflake is sold in very small tranches(we at one time got a bill for less than a dollar for the month during our on-demand time), I assumed the new contract could be issued with very small, essentially token amounts, this point is where the rep more or less waved his hands on and I agree I should have not trusted his portrayal. Honestly he may be working with the constrains of changing policies imposed on him too, so I def take responsibility here. Just as I mentioned, the post is for people who may be looking at similar clauses and coming to the wrong assumption that I did to not repeat the same mistake.
They assumed his assumption. Waltzing in and saying "Hey, I made this change", discussing it, and saying "okay, it seems we are aligned" is all part of the negotiation dance. G would have every right to ponder his suggestion for a few days, then respond to it.

We don't reject candidates for asking for more compensation; this should've been treated the same way. G could've said, "Sorry, we don't wish to change that contract term. What else can we do?" but, per the story, they pulled the plug entirely.
Given the recent news about delivery services (UPS, Fedex, Amazon) having constraints on capacity this would be a great time for them to invest in some planes. I assume Boeing is desperate to sell these. Or is there something about these planes that makes them unsuitable.

HN is more 'serious' than Reddit or Twitter. It's one of the main reasons I come back.

Allowing memes and jokes might have more comments with more votes but it wouldn't add any value to the site in my opinion.
Specifically that your rant is here because the Parent comment mentioned Libc - but this is because the Rust version isn't using that - but the C lib is.

So it's Apples to Oranges because they're fundamentally doing different things, and yet we're comparing their Line Count. That's not only reasonable, it's necessary if you want an Apples to Apples comparison.

That's why we're not concerned about the code to render with GPU or some other junk - but we are fundamentally talking about two programs that do different things - but then comparing their line count.

Your rant may be valid in other cases, but it seems super off base here. Your rant has, imo, nothing to do with what's happening in people pointing out the discrepancy.

Also, unfortunately for our climate, fossil fuels are easy to store, even for decades (potentially forever, they don't decay) and transport and require no advanced technology to be useful, you simply need a way to set them on fire.

There was a discussion few days ago about fossil fuels bootstrapping the industrial revolution(s), one of the theories is that without them we wouldn't be talking about renewable energy at all (except in very basic ways like running a watermill)
>My first thought was pretty much "Oh man, they made a huge oversight."

The entire Farm Bill was really clever. Republicans in congress and red state legislatures had pushed back against "medicinal" legalization over and over for years. But frame it as something to support rural farmers, and all of the sudden they're on board. I don't think they understood at all the actual reality of what it meant to legalize "industrial hemp". The floodgates are open and there's basically no stopping it now.
Yeah, indeed. I would have expected typeform!
> it should have been phased in over decades like the Founding Fathers had hoped to do with slavery

The founding fathers were a mix of people who thought slavery today, tomorrow, and forever was the plan, people that wanted it gone ASAP, and everything in between. The compromise they came up with was to lock on it for a few decades absolutely plus give enormous power advantages to the people that economically depended on it to protect it going forward; there might have been some who hoped, or at least expected, it would be phased out over time after the lock in period, but for the most part even they would have been hoping future generations might overcome the barriers they set up that made they difficult, it's not like they built any foundation for it.
"An Urbit" is a tiny VM with its own network protocol. It allows you to run apps written for it which can communicate over the Urbit network (By far the most used one is an instant messaging app).

Every Urbit has a permanent address which persists even if you move it around between computers. Each Urbit fully encapsulates its own state, so it can be zipped into a single file, unzipped 20 years later on a different computer, and it'll still work, still be able to connect to the network, and still contain all the data you had.

Urbit apps are fully decentralized, users own all the data and control what and how they wish to share it via the Urbit network.

As it contains a high-level Turing-complete programming language named Hoon, it could be used for anything which regular computers are used for.

There are actually some very interesting ideas in Urbit. Unfortunately it's all hidden below many layers of obfuscation and weird naming.
I think one of the problems with shorting is that you have to get the timing right. This makes short plays so much more difficult than long plays since you need to fund the short position long term potentially.

I think that people have shorted Tesla (right thesis or wrong, i don't know)...found themselves with margin calls or unable to roll their position forward, and then resorted to the innuendo/negativity to somehow "force" the fall to happen.

It is unfortunate, because as an engineer, i'm super excited by another engineer (Elon Musk and team) taking world-changing risks and being rewarded for it.

I think it's one of those convenient lies we tell ourselves so we can all feel better but doesn't survive real scrutiny. Saying 500k crabs will be drained with most of them surviving sounds better than 175k dies for sure... and we are giving the dead bodies to the fishing industry. The math is going to work out to be the same in the long run (and in fact better in your scheme) but one sounds better as a one-liner than the other.

This seems to be an unpopular opinion in the tech world, but I honestly enjoy working with PHP. It's such a simple, robust language, and you can use it in many different ways, depending on what you're building (OOP, scripting, microservices, etc).
how do you know it's just an extension of that?
Really makes you wonder which businesses (and indeed which industries) will exist 1000 years from today!

Very inspiring, thanks for sharing.
IMO it's such a good thing about PHP that I think other stacks should follow that model (I assume ROR does).

I think it's a superior model to the long-running application. Unless your company has 0 developers in it who make a memory leak, or make a fatal uncaught exception.

Instead, they doubled down and are now going to try to have to sell a product that many will refuse to ever fly on, myself included.

how's PHP's websocket support?

presumably if it's a thread per websocket then they're using something else to serve that?
I think there's more basic opportunity for intuition and learning than pi/tau, which is using turns for angles. We tend to use degrees, which is less direct and requires memorisation/familiarity with magic numbers like 30, 45, 60, 90, 180, 720, etc. It takes more work to translate these numbers back and forth into angles (e.g. clock hands or pie charts) compared to twelfth, eighth, sixth, fourth, half, one, two, etc. turns. I think degrees should be left as a historical curiosity, like gradians, rather than the default we reach for in everyday life, from a young age (I can also see them being a nice 'mental maths shortcut', for those who are into such things).

I know many people struggle with fractions, which degrees can avoid (at least, on a surface level), but I don't know whether the highly composite nature of 360 would help, and fractions hinder, outside of classroom-style exercises. For example, 90 + 45 = 135 is easier to calculate than 1/4 + 1/8 = 3/8, but the latter might still be more intuitive as an angle (e.g. if answering with a diagram, or by turning one's body); and for anything more complicated than that I'd still reach for a calculator, even with degrees.

When problems require more sophistication than turns, we can introduce radians like we currently do. At that point tau makes sense as their conversion factor in equations, but it's still an unnecessary complexity when expressing angles; since any nice multiple of tau (or pi) can be divided through to get an even nicer number of turns.
that requires a bit of effort, so i haven't had a need to. what would be the motivation to do so?

It's all just a big charade from these companies, as if they ever work. Billions of dollars made from devices that don't even work, but people buy them because they've been lead to believe they work. They're worse than useless, because they give you hope that they actually do what the companies say they do. What a sham. Maybe in another 10-20 years.
