To all Indian and non-Indians alike, a simple exercise will tell you a lot about the challenges the country faces from a security stand point.

Enumerate all the countries around india,look at the political systems, demography, civil wars and genocide. India is a oasis in the region, to keep ot safe is a herculean task.

And believe me you, until very recently the US and co often backed unsavoury elements animical to Indian interests due to political and strategic compulsions.
Yeah, it still takes me 60 minutes to sleep, because my mind is busy. I need meditation, medication, or something.
Manifolds? Locally we want everything to be a straight line, but when you zoom out far enough you see it was a circle all long.

This really has nothing to do with it.
If you can get someone to say it's art then it's art.

I have seen a piece of fibre optic cable cut in half proudly displayed in an art gallery (fairly prominently even). Ultimately the people who appraise this kind of stuff have no idea what it actually does or how it works, if you want to be accepted you have to speak the right shibboleths.

There are some artists that have an extremely good handle on what computers mean for the world, but I'm not aware of many that would fawn over a die shot like we would probably do.

That can be a pretty hard sell if you work in an office for a company that doesn't have dedicated nap pods. I've never really felt comfortable taking a nap at the office, myself.
I can try from my limited understanding I gathered in the last few days.

They pick stocks of companies struggling, which only need a little push. Mostly their financial powers means they can speak self-fulfilling prophecies, I think. "Advice" stock holders. But they also can "attack" stocks directly teaming up, like the short ladder attack we've seen the last few days. Bad press and media manipulation do the rest. Crashing a stock probably means influencing the companies liquidity and if they don't make profit at the moment, that may be the end. Or one of their friends buys then the majority of the company's shares. You know, mafia shit, but with numbers.

Overall you can ask yourself: Is it a good idea to allow anybody speculating on someone's loss, when they got enough financial power to make everyone jump?

Respective bankruptcy hugely increases the win on betting against a stock, since they don't have to buy back the shares they borrowed. They arrogantly went all in on GME, business as usual... or so they thought :)

Just to make this clear, I don't buy into the narrative of wealth redistribution as those profiting are probably in the top 1-2% anyway. But I like to see some of these assholes losing a lot, maybe someone going to prison over this. And well Gamestop and AMC just got a second life in this game. If they get their shit together, they will have a more epic "almost bankrupt" story than Apple.

And who know, maybe this will unite people under the clear view who their real enemies are, that it's neither ethnicity, culture or religion dividing them; all their struggles are caused by billionaires playing God.
Someone with a strong math background should cut Wilmott and go directly to Shreve: Stochastic Calculus for Finance II (or Björk: Arbitrage Theory in Continuous Time).
No, Netflix had a massive catalogue at one point. It was even much later than 2011. Probably up until 2015, was when they really started losing content.
when I first responded nobody had suggested a Honda genny

this surprised me considerably since Honda is synonymous with this kind of utility equipment for the best I know all around the world

then I suddenly thought that maybe economic politics is in effect here to avoid sending good hard earned dollars to Japan.

I so strongly agree with favouring American and English manufacturing that I feel compelled to point out that the Japanese economy is very much more circular with America at least than people probably think.

if Harbour Freight is only a name on Chinese made hardware then definitely a Japanese product is better for us in every way

not least because sub standard hardware costs our own economy in cold hard dollars straight away

definitely Honda sell dual fuel generators in the close price range to this about the thousand buck mark and never think you can't haggle even with online prices - the first hit I saw at British 1200 pounds id expect to take home for about 900 for sure.

the caveats ineedausernane minds you to be alert to suggest to me that this is a rebadge unit so all the above definitely does seem to apply

I've cut and pasted my impassioned original reply into my hn profile just because I felt so strongly to write a treatise about the relationship with Japan we have from history and how we shouldn't cut off Japan by reflex trying to protect ourselves because that just won't do us any good whereas quitting the habitual and repetitive purchase of substandard hardware from China is for absolutely certain at the least I reckon the poorest economic habit and one that thru future maintenance and goodness knows what else is still going to be biting us for years to come. Heck wasn't one of the biggest ever DDoSs suffered by Brian Krebs the one only Google could staunch, nothing but countless webcams taken over because 90 percent of all webcams sold to us never could even change their root passwords? I can almost understand the webcams bought cheap (but not the apparent inaction socially after proof emerged of mass blackmail of our young daughters the results of which being unfettered fraudsters at large) but absolutely I can't believe placing trust in emergencies in a unknown origin generator is any kind of a good idea to do.

Is it fair to say that the pandemic has brewed more protests than ever, not just in India but worldwide? It's not to diminish the issues, but the pandemic is adding fuel? Most countries around the world are facing protests all simultaneously after the pandemic (except China)?
I bet you could get 95.4% accuracy by simply looking at the IP addresses that users connect to.

Each webpage comes from an IP, but includes subresources from a whole set of domains. I would guess that for the vast majority of web sites, that set of domains is unique.
There's also more to a story than a single picture. What happened before? If cops are going to attack protesters or stand by while gangs are allowed to attack protesters, don't be surprised if they get their shit pushed in.
am I only one who find it diffucult to get what IP referred?

it is not about internet protocol it is intellectual property ! wuh
I don't know about you, but I need, and typically get between 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Less than 7 and I feel sleep deprived. More than 9 and I don't feel sleep deprived per se, but I don't have much energy (physical or mental), either.
I have the same shortcoming; when I try to nap I seldom succeed. When I do succeed, I usually awake feeling worse, like I have whole-body morning mouth. I wish I had that napping power, I've seen what it can do for others.

It doesn’t sound like other variables were eliminated in this study. For example, what if everybody who is able to take a nap held and office job and is now retired while those who don’t nap still have to work?
Sometimes I will go nap with a problem in my head and will wake up with the solution. I believe it helps, but I still don’t know if it is a placebo effect.
> I am all for peaceful protests [...] But not at the cost of damage to the public property, rioting and violence

Which one is it? So I'm peacefully protesting... And then someone ELSE two street away from me breaks a window... Am I not allowed to peacefully protest anymore?
The ideas discussed in his post, especially the idea of rapidly expanding spheres of civilizations consuming all resources in their path, were beautifully explored in Stephen Baxter's sci-fi book, Manifold: Space (a spin-off of his earlier book, Manifold: Time, which is also excellent). In his book, alien intelligences are common; once they become sufficiently advanced, their civilizations tend to rapidly expand and consume all available resources, often to the detriment of other civilizations in their path. This pattern leads to some interesting phenomena: first, while the night sky might seem quiet at first, once we do encounter aliens, we tend to see their signals across many star systems in rapid succession. The reason is pretty obvious: there is only a brief period of time when we are on the surface of a sphere - a few years after our first observations of aliens, we are engulfed within their sphere and observe their signals from all over our stellar neighborhood. Another idea he plays with is the idea of "refugee" species, who attempt to flee oncoming spheres by evacuating ahead of their path instead of being consumed.
Actually, he pushes this idea even further: in the book, our solar system was already engulfed in a few spheres millions of years ago. He suggests that this why Venus is such a hellscape: the aliens came, took the resources they wanted, and left behind a polluted mess. In the case of Venus, they left lots of greenhouse gases behind as the result of some chemical process used to extract resources; as a result, Venus quickly became the warmest planet in the solar system. It's a fun twist on the Fermi paradox: signs of aliens are actually all around us, we are just too dumb to notice them.

Another interesting idea he explores a bit is "ownership" of resources. Do the resource-rich asteroids in our solar system really belong to us? Or are they available to any alien race who happens to pass through? In the book, we first notice aliens by observing unexplainable infrared radiation from the asteroid belt (later revealed to be thermal emissions from their resource extraction). He suggests that these aliens will potentially crowd out humans; even if they are not overtly hostile, they could gobble up all the resources we would have used to expand our civilization.

Highly recommend this book.
> Unless China solves for the skewed demographics in the next ten years, seems like sheep-behavior to include them in projections for the future. Has anyone seen these types of presentations but say 1980, except it says Japan instead?

yeah, it's a funny coincidence...www.axlehealth.com
To the people recoiling at this but in support of recent deplatforming/censorship against conservatives in America - what makes you think one is acceptable and the other isn’t? There are tons of videos online showing mass vandalism, property destruction, and violence promulgated by those participating in the farmer protests. These include violent disruptions of political events, breaking police barriers to occupy and vandalize historical monuments, setting vehicles on fire, injuring hundreds, and more. Surely the participants and those inciting violence need to be brought under control to restore order. There are peaceful ways to assemble and effect political change. Isn’t this just like American tech companies deplatforming people to curb mass criminality?
That sounds like every excuse-making Facebook and Google employee on HN.
Depends how many wires they have but it's quite possible that "add a battery pack that charges when electricity is cheap" is cheaper than "pay for everyone to charge at peak rates".
Actually I think it was really good at showing exactly that. The young Pakistani guy was just a pawn in the game controlled by somebody way above, whom we don't even see in the movie. His immediate superior in the militant ranks, the Arab, looks clearly more educated than he is.

That is exactly how these terrorist organizations are structured.
They'll be fine if they don't lose faith. hopefully their not using their grocery money to fund their accounts.
yeah it's much easier to achieve as a remote worker in a different time zone. In my time zone, my nap time tends to coincide with things winding up for the day at the mothership.
Yeah, my work pays me the same whether I work 40 or 60 hours, so I cut my day short whenever I know I'm not gonna be productive. Usually it saves me a few hour of struggling and the solution comes to me first thing in the morning. I'm also the top 5% committer in my company even though I almost never touch 35h/week (caveat: I don't advertise this behavior at work and I work from home). Companies would really do themselves a favor cutting the day short, 40h of coding/meetings/etc a week is way too much for a lot of people.
My Internet suddenly stopped working in the middle of a work day a few weeks back (I work from home) and I tried to call Spectrum to diagnose the problem and all they could tell me was the account holder canceled the account, which was clearly not true as I tried to tell them since I am the account holder and I did no such thing. Unfortunately, my wife (who they would actually talk to) works in a SCIF, so I had no way to get a hold of her and had to just leave her a message and wait.

It turns out someone had called and claimed to be moving into my house, so they canceled my account in order to enable setting up a new account for the person who claimed to be moving into my house.

I am still amazed that this is possible. You can get any customer's Internet turned off and they can't stop you just by signing up to get a new account at their address.
Notice that, in Robin’s scenario, the present epoch of the universe is extremely special: it’s when civilizations are just forming, when perhaps a few of them will achieve technological liftoff, but before one or more of the civilizations has remade the whole of creation for its own purposes. Now is the time when the early intelligent beings like us can still look out and see quadrillions of stars shining to no apparent purpose, just wasting all that nuclear fuel in a near-empty cosmos, waiting for someone to come along and put the energy to good use.

This presumes that The Most Technologically Advanced Civilization sees virgin nature as nothing but raw material waiting to become something useful. That's possible, but probable? I think that it's likely that diminishing marginal utility still holds even for TMTAC, and therefore they are disinclined to convert all the universe's visible matter and energy into Dyson swarms of Space Product.

My favorite (not particularly testable) solution to the Fermi paradox is that TMTAC originated shortly after the first heavy elements and planets formed. It became space faring and expanded throughout the visible universe before our solar system formed. Its agents have been lurking in our solar system since before life first appeared here. Having long ago achieved immortality and technological supremacy, there's no motivation for plundering or trading with terrestrial creatures. They silently observe like space faring bird watchers. They'll intervene if/when we start to approach the capabilities of TMTAC, particularly if we show destructive paperclip-maximizer inclinations toward converting the universe into Space Product.

To borrow some terminology from Nick Bostrom's Superintelligence book, it's possible that the universe has been colonized by a singleton civilization -- the first one to become star faring. But it's not particularly chatty or inclined to let potentially competing star faring civilizations expand.
At the risk of flogging a dead horse, and in the interests of honesty, [1] is a comment that I thought was an example of one downvoted unfairly. It wasn't the first one I've seen downvoted where I thought "Why? It seems they just don't agree." And it probably won't be the last. But it is the first and only time where I've questioned the downvoting in a comment [2].

"Cost-of-living adjustment" is the biggest wage fixing scheme since the 2005 Apple-Google wage fixing agreement. You are doing the same work, producing the same results, while the company is saving a ton of money on office rent, parking, security, electricity, etc. At the same time they declare you have to take a pay cut!

Do not agree to it. The company has no negotiating position here - it will be very disruptive and costly to replace employees right now. HR can only make an example of a handful of people before terminations prove so disruptive that the wheels start coming off and the other managers go after them.

If you have already agreed to a cost-of-living adjustment, renegotiate. If they fire you because of the cost-of-living adjustment, join a class-action lawsuit. If for whatever reason you think you cannot negotiate in your own best interest (not true! as a tech worker, you have most of the negotiating advantage), unionize.
Naps are also linked to increased consumption of Cruzcampo.
Many of those work by running processes under what is effectively a subuser.

The problem with it is, that it works fine when one purely speak of being able to write and read from files, but the moment servers such as display servers or Pulsaudio and DBus come into play, the picture becomes more difficult.

All of those technologies work on a simple binary level where the subuser has access to the socket, or it does not, for finer grained control the kernel is required to speak the protocol, which will obviously not happen.

So, those services themselves must come with a means to filter communication appropriately, and sandboxing technology is beholden to the extent thereof.

Flatpak had to provide an alternative DBus-proxy server to do this with DBus, similar to using nested X11 servers; no solution has been reached for Pulseaudio, whereof I know, and no plans even exist for a variety of more obscure servers that software might need to communicate.

For instance, ZNC can be instructed from the IRC client to load modules that contain arbitrary code. Therefore, any IRC client that has acces to ZNC has ZNC's full capabilities, as it does not come with such finer granulation as of this moment.

If any sandboxing technology is to be effective, a large number of servers that are in common use often need to provide specific support for that specific sandboxing technology, or simply not be accessible at all from within it.
But if it's similar to the maintenance cost, you've not gained anything on the initial cost differential. Making it still the worse investment.
If you're willing to connect the dots in this way, where anything that gives you legal authority to control the conduct of others (competitors, critics, customers) in specific ways is "abusive", then you should realize that this sort of argument is very easily extended, because that's exactly what all property does.

Intellectual property is the right to say how others are allowed to use an abstract thing that belongs to you. Ordinary property is the right to say how others are allowed to use a physical thing that belongs to you. It's effectively the same concept, just extended.

Of course, it doesn't immediately follow from either physical property or intellectual property that it will be abused in the way Doctorow describes (by "keeping customers by making it impossible for them to leave"), but it certainly could be. For example, suppose a relatively small number of individuals or companies owned most of the land, and most of the industrial machinery, and all the investment capital - then everyone else would have to go work for them, and produce whatever the property owners wanted to produce, instead of what they wanted to make for themselves. Someone might describe such a dynamic as fundamentally abusive in exactly the same way that intellectual property is.
Facts can very much be cherry-picked and usually are, so facts alone don't get you closer to the truth. On the contrary, the way people use facts is by selecting them after the fact (no pun indended) to bolster a position they've already settled on. Everyone does this, and with a little self-honesty anyone can easily observe themselves doing it.
I used to be able to fall asleep anytime anywhere. Then I got diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. Now that I'm treating it and actually getting a good sleep it's very hard to nap, maybe these people are just sleep deprived? or a lot of them anyway.
>Alice owns one GME. Bob borrows the share and sells it to John. John doesn't know this is borrowed stock and borrows it to Lisa. This way way you got two borrows on one stock.

The question is what happens on the "margin". Lets say there are 110 shorted shares. You need to get rid of 11 of them to eliminate the short squeeze (assuming nobody buys the remaining 99 shares to hold them).

Lisa owes 30 shares. She only has to buy 11 shares and then the rest of her shorts will have the potential to be in the money. She could buy one share and return it to the lender. She could now make an agreement with the lender to buy a share for a fixed price from the lender and return it and repeat this 11 times.

The question is, why would the lender agree to this instead of just charging market rate?

In my opinion the lender should be on the hook. By lending out your shares you receive interest payments that cover the risk of a "default" just like a regular bank loan. If the borrower fails to return the shares due to bankruptcy you just lose your share. This would significantly reduce the potential for a short squeeze because the lender would just agree to a share price that does not leave the borrower bankrupt.
Ok, as you’ve done the maths: what charge do you get? Not the ~10% I got from a back-of-the-envelope calculation?

Model 3 is about 5m by 2m, and is apparently rated for 241 Wh/mile

4m * 2m * 1kw/m^2 * 50% * 20% = average power 800 W

(50% because the panels are flat, 20% because cell efficiency)

241 Wh/mile * 60 miles/day = average usage 602 W

I’m not sure what fraction of the day people drive for given that I’m not a driver, but I’m eyeballing 5-10%. I acknowledge professional drivers — taxis etc. — can’t possibly rely on PV alone, that PV can only supply a fraction of what they need (my 10% guesstimate), but I still think this should help with the general public. Or are my assumptions way off?

In general there's no valid reason to fear our investments being randomly targeted. GME short sellers have only themselves to blame by pushing the total short interest to unsustainable levels and failing to hedge. That is a rare situation which hardly impacts any of us.
I find your items:

'Engineering excellence: I want to be on a team where I feel junior'

AND

'looking for a senior engineering role'

Somewhat in conflict.
If you need to feel you can learn, then I recommend finding some IT social groups, where you can share knowledge. Or go back to school. Or settle for a non senior role.
You might consider changing the title to "WallStreetBets Against Coal Powerplants".
Agreed. Also, the kinds of people who have the leisure / freedom to take naps probably already have a lot of advantages over those who can’t. Those advantages might be the key difference.
