And 20 years ago, neo-cons embracing dystopian government control to make sure muslims didn't use cash.

It's all control. But instead of seeing it as right vs. left, its better framed as authoritarians (historic and modern left [1], Silicon Valley, FBI) vs. people who value their freedom and privacy either because its innate to their being, or because their particular group is kept under a watchful eye (gays in the 80s, muslims 20 years ago, christians people today).

Avoid getting ensnared in the identity trap the way you just did. Once you do, you've accepted the basic premise of identity politics and, therefore, things like CRT; which is just 's/class/identity/g' for Marxism.

[1] that is all of the left's history from the Jacobins until today minus twenty or thirty years centered around the early 90s.
Can anyone recommend some good resources to learn Julia? I am hoping there is something akin to the Rust Book [1] since watching youtube videos is too slow and the exercism option listed on the website is too cumbersome.

Wow. Sometimes you'll see a think piece about how a director will call attention to certain parts of the frame (dressing the main character in vibrant clothing and extras in drab clothing for a New York sidewalk scene, for example). This is like that. No question about who the main character is in that shot.

I have never gotten the point of this trick. Don't basically all processors have some equivalent of XCHG (swap contents of two registers)? Even the 8086 had it back in 1978. (The z80 doesn't have it, but it is a couple of years older than 8086.)

I tried searching the LLVM source for any mention of the trick, but couldn't find anything. So I can't see it having any relevance to modern CPUs.
Truly the work of a patriot who loves America.
And likewise, you inability to see her as anything but a martyr against an oppressive system is informed by your tightly held belief that the government is for some reason downplaying Covid.

Oh is that not the case? Then don't attribute some armchair psychology to my motives. I in no way think I've "discovered" something underreported. I know full well that millions of people, from credentialed scientists to dumbfuck hillbillies see the same things I rail against.

I've been accused of disregarding human life for my views on Covid response. Which is funny as Covid has touched my family in painful ways.

Humans are complex beings, more so than your coined phrase captures. But I still love you! I hope someday we all can have a calm, reasonable discussion about epidemics. Because this will happen again, so we need to study our response here as much as possible
> I’ve gone camping and hiking in plenty of places that have no cellular service so cash is the only way to pay the fees.

This seems like more of a reason to push for rolling out wireless connectivity in places of natural beauty than to argue for keeping cash around. Last time I traveled Chilean Patagonia, I was impressed that even the most isolated communities now have 4G and the village general store has a card terminal. In Finnish Lapland, too, where there are almost no people, you almost never lose a mobile phone connection in the national parks, and the shops take cards like anywhere else in the country.

I’m not the person you’re replying to but I do think anyone who comes to HN to discuss primarily one narrow (and politically contentious) topic isn’t participating in HN in good faith. There’s no effort to “gratify one’s intellectual curiosity” or “have curious conversation” if you’ve arrived with an agenda.

If the headline said that a computer scientist faced arrest, would you also feel the need to make the same comment?
True, I'm obviously biased, but at least I can attest to the intention: Julia has always been intended for general purpose computing with the additional (and very challenging requirement) that it be a general purpose language that's also excellent at technical computing, which turns out to be a remarkably hard additional requirement.
Kids are only separated from their families when things are really bad.
All this stuff gets much simpler and much more objective when you look at genomes and build phylogenetic trees. There fungi look like a branch on their own. That's also how archaea were discovered as a separate domain, not just a kingdom.
Given that inpatient + outpatient = 100% of the category, I have to agree. Lumping the cost of "Medical Care" into a single metric in a breakdown of spending on, well, medical care, doesn't offer much insight. Showing exactly the same data in 4 different graphing methods doesn't add anything but clutter. The lack of effort honestly makes me question this organization's mission.

I think the most useful bit is the reference to the OECD data source. For those not already aware, OECD has far more detailed data available to browse [0], and heaps of more informative and competent presentations [1].

I don't know where the whole HFT thinking came from? Renaissance wasn't known for HFT, it was known for using erstwhile new technologies such as data analysis and some machine learning to find patterns between uncorrelated data (like the weather in Paris affecting LSE trades).

I think all of those points are the same for all Quant shops. All of them are at stagnant AUMs now for a reason. I mean this article seems like even GPT-3 could have written it.
Incidentally the people theorizing about trees communicating through roots are actually saying trees are communicating via webs of root-connected fungi which act as the connections in between the trees. It's literally underground tunnels of fungi (mycelia) within which the chemical signals are transferred. Colloquially referred to as the Wood Wide Web; technically it's networks of mycorrhizal fungi.
Does our using an oyster as a tool “prove” they have feelings though? We use litmus paper to determine (a certain) quality of water too.
Couldn't you do this in any language? Either write a do while or write a infinite loop with true as condition and then write breaks in the loop itself?

That's what I mostly do in java, write a while(true) and then either come back to change the condition or write break in the loop.

Just want to preface this that nuclear is not competitive with solar/wind and won't be for decades until solar/wind complete their "main sequence" descent of economies of scale.

LFTR/MSR's prototype fit in a closet. LFTR breeds its fuel and "burns" almost all of it, none of that solid fuel rod crap where only a small fraction is used and then you have "spent fuel rods". Fuel shipments would be Thorium, not hyper-radioactive dirty bomb materials. No chance of meltdown. No high pressure containers.

As for the pace of research, from what I understand nuclear is WEIRD. The permitting process is controlled by government forces that:

1) don't want you researching it due to proliferation risk
2) are military so if you are permitted want access to weapons grade isotopes
3) are the spent fuel rod lobbyists trying to keep their bacon rolling in
4) NIMBY to the nth power

So everything is almost impossible to get going.

The replaceable shipping container sized LFTR has great potential.

You mean except for the fact that her participation in the invasion of our capital, attempted overthrow of our government, and theft of intelligence was live streamed for literally the entire nation to see.

The only assertion we are relying on from the ex for is the fact that after committing multiple felonies on camera she was planning to commit one more.

Furthermore although she is entitled to assumption of innocence in a court of law we are required to provide nothing of the sort.

If he was merely trying to get back at her why not just turn her in for all the crimes we saw on camera. The simplest explanation is that he is telling the truth.
Changing a threshold is not changing the underlying data. One is attempting to be rational and iterate through policy, and the other is lying.

Edit: Just to be explicit, yes I'm calling out the false equivalence as a logical fallacy.
I’ve found RenTech to be fascinating over the years and highly recommend the book on it “Man who solved the market”

Two big takeaways for his success -

1) He was pretty early, and quite contrarian, in betting on computer and quant strategies and thus took the “low hanging fruit” early on (def wasn’t low hanging back then when no one knew or believed in computer trades strategies)

2) From the book, Rentech’s main strategy was based on “reversion to the mean” - I.e “We make money from the reactions people have to price moves”. Trading on how you think OTHERS will trade and systemizing it (ex vol and momentum) is powerful but clearly doesn’t scale when you become the market yourself

And a bonus one - despite being a math genius, he basically was failing till he brought on others. He hired the right people (ie those interested in math not finance), created the right environment, took care of logistics, and pushed on a key insight (model to trade). He couldn’t have done it by himself.

It definitely has a sensor-like mechanism, but is it qualitatively different to some plants growing to face the sun, or a climbing plant climbing up a wall?

I've had flytraps and they are fascinating, though I've found them to be very fragile, at least in the conditions I can provide in my balcony. Their traps often turn black and rot after trying to digest a single fly, and I had one Venus flytrap die after flowering (the advice I found online was: don't let it flower, under most less than ideal conditions, the effort of producing the flower will spend the plant's energy reserves and kill it, and the single flower it can produce is not pretty anyway. I should have followed this advice, but curiosity got the better of me).

since you keep saying that you are not a native speaker, consider believing the interpretations native speakers share. stuff simply means what it means. you can believe it or not.

more generally, when someone says something you find incredulous, consider processing that internally, and then decide if saying "huh, now i know" is not a better reaction to "no way, maybe you're wrong."

I think looking for "a good knowledge of work" is missing the point of via negativa. It's simple; the essence of it is: "less is more" - in looking to improve your life and enhance your resilience, you're probably better off removing things from it, instead of adding. You don't need to consume more information, on the contrary, you're better off with less information. If you understand the concept, great. That's enough. Go live it. Too much information can just become noise (another good point Taleb makes [1]).

The court video is pretty interesting: https://www.facebook.com/WFLANewsChannel8/videos/15410993317...

1) The judge in this video is not the county judge who is the source of the warrant against her. (The county judge, I believe, is the one who was appointed by DeSantis and immediately (suspiciously) approved the warrant against Jones that resulted in police guns being pointed at her and her children.)

2) The State prosecutor tried to levy all sorts of crap like no internet. That's probably typical. Note that this person had amazingly stable video / audio somehow.

3) Jones lawyer made some mild arguments about needing to get a job and use a phone etc. Said nothing about the DeSantis judge. The judge in this video immediately disregarded a lot of the prosecutor's asks and deflected a ton to the DeSantis judge.

4) The audio is extremely extremely bad, especially for one of Jones lawyers. The audio just goes garbled half way through his argument. Whoever this is (Zoom? MS? Cisco?) is really liable for screwing up tons of court cases.

In all, this video shows exactly how political the justice system is. This judge and the DeSantis judge are pretty night-and-day in their actions against Jones.
I still think this is more about lack of demand and trying to blame something else.

Blaming a “chip shortage” is too vague. Which one is there a shortage of?

Which automaker wrote contracts that didn’t guarantee part availability above other buyers?

So she was employed to make a dashboard for Florida, made the dashboard, they pressured her to make the numbers look better, she quit and made her own publicly accessible dashboard with the "real" numbers on it.

Either after creating her own dashboard or just before, she took resources from work and published a message on the work network which is why she's now being brought in for questioning and charged.

With that in mind, wtf are all the other comments in this thread talking about? Its like they're talking about a completely different article or smth.
I have a friend who has tried to foster parent during COVID but the shifting goalposts, school openings and closings demanding childcare availability instantly (both parents work) and lack of timely reimbursements from the state combine to make it a nearly impossible endeavor.

We have a state government actively retaliating against a whistle blower and people are so casual about it. So many people here are "China is worse". I'm sorry, I don't live in China, so I am more worried about my own country targeting whistleblowers.

I think what it shows is that almost all people, if given power, would be petty tyrants and not philosopher kings. Crime X is evil when my opponent does it, but when my ally does it, you must look at the context and see she did it for a good reason and shouldn't be punished.

Not so sure this story is that of the virtuous whistleblower the article portrays. She has a degree in geography and communications. It's unclear where her knowledge of data science comes from, but she clearly wasn't hired for that. She was defying the team of epidemiologists in publishing bad data. The risk of bad data is just as bad as no data. But the term, data science seems to becoming the new catchall phrase that can mean everything and nothing at the same time.
A few ms as others have said, but it's also a non-deterministic delay.

This is a problem for applications like time-of-flight measurement, so one way to account for this is to send a known signal on TX and look for it on RX
Your characterization of the development of coordinate-free differential geometry is incorrect. Intrinsic geometry was not a seemingly "useless" generalization; it was motivated by concrete and specific problems about surfaces and mathematical physics. For example, one of Riemann's papers was literally titled "A mathematical work that seeks to answer the question posed by the most distinguished academy of Paris." (Perhaps not literally, given that's a translation, but you get the point.)

I don't know anything about ZX calculus, but if people are using it to solve real-world problems, that sounds good to me. What I object to is pure mathematicians giving "applications" of their work that aren't useful or real. And when the authors allude to applications in chemistry and biology, and no chemists or biologists are doing anything with category-theoretical analyses of Petri nets, I think it's reasonable to point this out.
You should take a look at senior solution architect roles.

> haphazardly leaking to the press from HK prior to obtaining asylum seems to be out of character.

His original plan, supposedly[1], was to remain in HK and fight extradition to the US. It wouldn't have taken the US government long to notice he was missing from his job and had travelled to Hong Kong without approval, so it was not particularly haphazard for him to start sharing his story openly as soon as he was in HK.

> had contact with actors who had the knowledge and contacts to plan such a ruse in advance.

It's not clear how the deal with Russia was brokered, but it's possible that the Beijing government didn't want to sour relations with the US by letting him stay in HK, as reported by the New York Times[2]:

> “Behind the door there was definitely some coordination between Hong Kong and Beijing,” said Jin Canrong, professor of international relations at Renmin University in Beijing.

That also makes sense of the ridiculous story about HK rejecting the US arrest warrant request due to the US getting Snowden's name wrong.[3]

Having to arrange travel, on short notice, from HK to a country that could preserve Snowden's safety from US capture, and meet with approval from Beijing, would severely limit his options, even if there were no other concerns, and it is possible that assurances were given to Snowden about the possibility of onward travel, which were later broken. It would certainly have been unwise for Snowden to publicly call out that he had been tricked and betrayed by Putin. Instead, he claims that the US cancelled his passport to deliberately trap him in Moscow, so they could portray him as a Russian spy[4], which also seems to match what we know.

// Having the freedom from health care costs is more freedom for more people than the "freedom" to not pay health insurance or taxes to cover it.

This is not how freedom works. Your argument is akin to saying "freedom from hearing uncomfortable opinions" benefits more people than "freedom of expression" does.

On the broader level, I got to experience healthcare in the US both as a broke-ass immigrant child and as a working adult. It ranged from good to amazing in terms of availability of appointments, treatments, quality and comfort. Night and day beyond what I experienced in the USSR as a kid. So while people are shitting on the system we have, many people find it excellent and amazing and we like the freedom to continue enjoying it.
> There's absolutely no reason that Windows installs and Linux distros should offer unencrypted storage as anything but a hidden option for experts.

People unfortunately have been coddled by consumerism, or are coddled by job titles like "director" and "officer", and expect to be able to get passwords reset and access recovered by someone if they forget.

The correct way to do disk encryption is to not store the password anywhere, and define total loss of data as acceptable if the password is unknown. This puts vendors and subordinate-to-revenue-generation IT departments in a bad situation if a customer forgets their password and suddenly loses years' worth of family photos, small-business tax documents, etc.

> Our phones storage is uniformly encrypted by default now and have been for several years.

Only because phone storage is basically unimportant - most people sync everything (either of their own volition or via OS provider or via apps) from their phone to multiple cloud services and then the benefits of encryption-at-rest are honestly only their to protect and enforce the local app store and payment apps.
