Warren Buffet on down through the layers of non-criminal financial managers (that set is not as big as it should be) do not lie about their holdings. They do not pretend that a investment is good simply so other people will want it, drive up the price, then sell. That is what John McAfee is accused of doing.

A big difference.
There have been tokamak and stellarator fusion power plant studies published every few years for the past several decades. Answers to all of your questions and more are in them.
I heard via LinkedIn she sold the business. I hope the character remains.
Yeah, it doesn't make sense because it's not correct.

FTL enables a kind of time travel that isn't going back in time to shake your own hand. It allows two people in two different reference frames to disagree about whether A caused B or B caused A. You don't get to go "back in time" but you can send somebody lottery results before they're drawn (from somebody's perspective).
First, we're not talking about tech bros here. We're talking about a parent raising their child and being AWARE of what's going on in his life over a period of years.

>This kid may have been absent and neglecting their studies, but the school kept promoting them to the next grade and didn't even attempt to take corrective actions by contacting the parent.

Let's say all that is true. It's still the mother's fault. How could you raise your child and not know he is failing every class and skipping half the time FOR YEARS. Come on man, be serious.

>They failed to do THEIR job and allowed for it to get to this point.

What are you talking about? It isn't the school's responsibility to raise children. Schools are part of a huge government bureaucracy staffed by well meaning bureaucrats providing a particular social service. You, as a parent, CANNOT delegate the responsibility for raising YOUR child to them.
I've learned some things about testosterone 'cos it's interesting. You're slanting it.

People with more testosterone are more unsatisfied, aggressive, sexually driven, restless, and disappointed. This has nothing to do with something as apparently laudable as risk-taking vs. risk-avoiding, and in fact it's quite easy to be loaded with testosterone and yet constantly fretting over enemies and bad stuff you expect to happen, leading to conservative choices (not risky or experimental choices).

Aggressiveness and dissatisfaction are a better match for testosterone, which MAY lead to risk taking but are just as likely to lead to efforts to control and suppress perceived risks.

There's merit in the effects of testosterone but you're off base in terms of what you think it does.
Their section about demographics controls in the paper was really unclear (kinda surprised you can get this published being so vague).

What does a final number with the controls active even mean? I doubt accuracy was identical within each grouping they used. Even the groupings are really unclear in the paper (at most 4 ethnic groups，no idea how they did age, etc.)
I think I had enough "creativity" from webdesign. Video backgrounds, fading,or reappearing text sections, absurd colour schemes,or overengineered SPAs. I'd happily trade all that shiny wrapping paper into something a bit more boring and consistent.
>IIRC modern superconducting materials rely on relatively fragile meta-structures

The HTS 'tape' they use is very robust. A lot of the work they are doing is qualifying the coils and magnets under various scenarios.
I guess it would be a really really big blank check, and then you'd still have to get from a PoC to a commercially viable plant and convince the public it's not a hydrogen bomb and it's quite safe and then you'd have to outcompete renewables for decades to get a decent return while you miniaturize your device for use anywhere else than a stationary plant, and then someone starts making a paint with tiny organic solar cells in it and absurdly-efficient batteries and while you can still make a killing for niche applications, it's a pittance compared to your investment. I guess in the end both risks and upfront costs are just way too high to do things that way.

The article is about a kid who ranked in the upper 50% -- they chose to do a story about him because this means he's not an outlier, he's the norm for this school. It's very likely that failing / skipping class is the only way to fit in, that students who put in too much effort or do too well get beaten up or worse for it. The school's faculty also probably understands the problem better than anyone else, but doesn't have the resources to provide a solution. Smaller classes helps but you need more funding to pay more teachers to do that. And any problems at home the school has no control over.
MIT’s product isn’t the reactors: it’s HTS coil winding. That’s the proprietary tech they are developing and planning to sell.
Whether something is "legal" is a fuzzy computation that runs in the minds of average citizens on a jury, though it's more commonly simulated by judges and lawyers. The text is not absolute.

So what if an accept-only contract (like a ToS, EULA, or consent pop-up) did what average users think they agreed to, regardless of what the text says?

This would shift the burden of understanding from the user, where it currently lies, to the company. If it's essential to a company's business model that users agree to something complex that most users don't understand, the company will just have to help the users understand, deploying all those marketing and UX patterns they've perfected over the years to do so.

(Yes I know this isn't how contracts currently work; it's just a harmless little thought experiment.)

Self-Sovereign Identity might replace major parts of the federated identity market within 5 years i expect. even Okta CEO admitted that self-sovereign identity will be the future. the major problem is that the decentralized nature of SSI, will remove the most part and profit of 3rd party tools, as it is easier and cheaper to have direct relations between services and users

Pfizer asked for indemnity. The journalist supplied examples of what the indemnity might cover. Those examples are not attributed to Pfizer — you don't see phrase like "according to a Pfizer spokesperson, …". The wording doesn't even state that the examples are likely to be among Pfizer's motivating reasons, just that such things would be among the affected cases, should they occur.

It says one clear and attributed thing: "The government believed Pfizer should be liable for any acts of negligence or malice" and that Pfizer disagreed. That is, Pfizer believes that Prizer should be liable for only some acts of negligence or malice. I suspect there's some hyperbole, that the government doesn't really believe that any act of etc., but that the real core of the issue is in that area. What is an act of negligence, what acts of negligence are Pfizer's responsibility? I've heard about people getting fake vaccines in Brazil, that sounds like malice, is it Pfizer's responsibility, did Pfizer take sufficient steps to safeguard against that?

And so my initial assumption is that there are laws or have been some past judgments that Pfizer's lawyers believe pose undue legal risk in that jurisdiction. The article doesn't go into that at all, or into the question of the parties' actual motivations, which I find a bit disappointing, considering that phrase "investigative journalism" on the masthead.
This isn't to detract from what the author has said, but Google Docs does have a public API now. I wanted to mention this because the public API is fairly new, and people may not know about it. I am not sure if the API is rich enough to achieve what the author is describing though. It's also not built on any kind of standard, like email, or other examples that are described.
Can I use this now? Is there a getting-started guide or gallery of examples?
> I sincerely doubt that much financial reward will come for any random individual doing this to any randomly selected website in that sample that does not meet the GDPR requirements.

Then whats the point of GDPR if its not worth taking them to court. Is the idea that only govt can bring them to justice?
Who knows. If I had to make a guess, here are some ideas:

You cannot yet make money with it, so there's no capitalist lobby. Success is not certain, and timeframes are too long for politicians to score points in the election game. It's not as cool as space, and the green faction isn't too keen on the whole nuclear thing. So far, fears about peak oil turned out to be largely unfounded (but do note that we probably did pass the peak as far as conventional oil production in concerned).

If I kept at it, I probably could come up with more theories...

For me, it is difficult to pin down what exactly this type of thing should be.

Is it purely for data migration? ie: I am closing my facebook account and want to extract an archive copy of all my contacts, posts, uploads, etc

Is it better to function as a direct transfer? How could it possibly make sense to transfer my old hackernews comments to my new facebook account?

The more I think about it, the more I just come back to email. Not necessarily the specific implementations, just the high level design: From any domain, I should be able to send a direct message to a contact in any domain. They should be able to view any basic[0] content I post (text, images, calendar) and respond in kind with basic content regardless of the domain either of us use.

I'm not sure that fully-federated-everything is the best answer and I would expect most reasonable implementations to include "Sign in at facebook.com for the best experience" or whatever.

I can't personally imagine the ideal system yet but I assume it must be somewhere in the unmapped middle ground between Facebook/Twitter/Apple silos and thousands of impossible-to-trust sloppily-federated micro-domains hosted by random individuals.

Edit: As an aside, the issue of authentication seems critically important with no clear designs that would provide a secure and usable solution. Though, the issue of account name squatters does already exist, it is relatively manageable with so few domains and no inter-operability between domains.

Why are your godot tutorials across different channels? Is there a single site or something I can sub to for all of your tutorials?
Mmm, achievements don't really seem as special anymore for a variety of reasons. Everything is so regimented in games now. You get an achievement for completing the tutorial mission. You get an achievement for finding the thing you can't progress in the game without it in your possession. You get an achievement for collecting 1000 blivets from radio towers. It's all uninteresting, uninspired busywork or crap put into the game because it's expected.

There's also accumulated gaming experience. I've been gaming for more than 4 decades, there ain't nothing new under the sun.

Also, real life cheevos are harder, and some would say more important, to attain.

I'd say for me, the magic of a lot of things wore off a long time ago. YMMV. GL HF
This article takes obvious simplifications/generalizations and tries to act like it's all wrong because they're simplifications/generalizations. Obviously simplifications leave out detailed minutiae, that's the point. It doesn't mean the general concept is wrong, it just means that there's more to it once you get into the details.
Perhaps you should read the article in full. It clearly says the most popular Android smartphones in 2021 are:

Samsung

Redmi

Oppo

Huawei

Vivo

Which probably account for the majority of Android smartphone sales.

Song of the South is a good movie especially for its time (Black representation in film) that Disney destroyed because of its aversion to controversy. Since actual Black people are unpopular in racist America, honest portrayals of Black people are considered offensive, effectively removing Black people and characters from mainstream culture unless they "act white".

Slavery is terrible, and since black people were enslaved, literature about Black American's lives from before 1865 is not acceptable. This is bad.
Ask HN: How to build the simplest of websites that works on all mobile sizes?
I want to build a very simple web app with only one or two simple forms, but I dread the task of trying to make it look readable on the vast array of mobile devices and screen resolutions.

Is there any solution to this? Is there any front end framework that specifically makes it easy to build something that looks OK on most mobile devices/resolutions.

I use bootstrap 4 but that's not really a complete answer is it?
Why are you confident it will be viable? Remember, commercial viability means not just that it works, but that it's better than any competitor. Why is it that fusion will win this competition? It's the nature of most technologies to fail in the face of something better.
Could nuclear power plant operators be incentivised by using "proactive risk detection" metrics or something along those lines?

I suppose there will then be incentives to exaggerate or "invent" new risks for career advancement, but is that not preferable to the alternative?
Well, I enjoy talking to the front line aka sales people to hear what's going on out there. I appreciate their input. While there might be lots of stupid ideas, there are also good ones, and some times I feel like it is a reality check which helps to get out of the developer bubble.
1) Web scraping is not "illegal"

2) I haven't the slightest clue why you think scraped data can't be used in a publication - some results from first page of Google Scholar:

Like there's really a memo. It's been in so many different news outlets. The current admin is trying to distance from previous use of the word. And if you think I was being serious, then you must not have gotten the memo on sarcasm. You should really declutter your inbox. You seem to be missing a lot of memos.
Those categorizations are opposites on a continuum of various kinds of muscle tension, notably brow scrunch muscles. Surprise is literally brow up and jaw slack, disgust involves brow scrunch and lip tightening. Facial expressions also bleed through to our experienced emotions, so going around with face scrunched a lot will MAKE you more suspicious and disgusted with things.
I really dislike this advice, I think it encourages people to be shallow and superficial. This quote from Parks and Recreation captures it nicely

Ron (sitting down next to Leslie at the Senior’s Ball): Everything ok, Knope?

Leslie: My boyfriend is a lawyer, and he’s smart and interesting and there are a lot of things about him I really like. But he acted like a real jerk today. I don’t know, it’s something about the way he treats people or something.

Ron: He’s a tourist. He vacations in people’s lives, takes pictures puts them in his scrapbook and moves on. All he’s interested in are stories.

Leslie: Ha.

Ron: Basically, Leslie, he’s selfish, and you’re not, and that’s why you don’t like him.
Nice work. There is not enough support for stuff like this.

> But now, barely 6 years later, the Leftist Mob has come for Dr. Seuss, and we're all bullied to recite that Dr. Seuss is racist, was racist, has always been racist.

What? No one is trying to cancel Dr Seuss. No one is suggesting that he was a bad or hateful person. His estate has decided to no longer publish a small number of his books. They are doing this because they feel that they contain hurtful stereotypes: https://www.seussville.com/statement-from-dr-seuss-enterpris...

I have used stereotypes and language in the past that, in retrospect, I recognize as hurtful, despite thinking it was not a big deal at the time. I no longer use those terms, or tell those jokes. That is part of maturing as a person.

The estate has a duty to protect the legacy of Dr Seuss, which was very positive and inclusive. I don't think it is unreasonable to assume that, were Dr Seuss still alive, he might consider whether a Chinese-American child would feel uncomfortable with the images in "And To Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street", or whether an African-American child would feel uncomfortable reading "If I Ran the Zoo", and revise those works.
I own a battery operated trimmer and blower, and unfortunately, they’re not much quieter (I hear my neighbors, too). In fact, they almost seem more annoying as they seem to emit a different frequency.

Agree with things to reduce noise pollution, but don’t feel like this will help much in that regard.
Sure, there is a subset of behaviors for which this style makes sense, but it's just as well supported by simply defining your own functions alongside the struct.
Keeping the parents in the loop and developing interventions is part of the administration's job, especially if a child has been absent overall (as opposed to only not attending math).

The fact that this parent didn't know so many things for so long means that they are absentee. But they are holding 3 jobs, and for them to not know also indicates the failure of the school to keep the parent informed.
That's a great callout and definitely been part of the discussion internally. We'll get a pricing page up there in the near future... Been holding out until we have the self-service version up and running, but you make a good case to openly address it now.
That was a strange video. It seemed like he started talking about latency between Android and IOS devices, which makes sense given that this article talks about response time of just under 40 ms like you said. The article says this is "well within the range required for real-time applications" if you define real-time applications as non-pro-audio stuff. If you're playing an instrument and it takes 40 ms for you to hear back the sound, that's Not Good.

But then the video takes a strange turn and starts talking about "Stability" of mac vs PC, and I had to turn it off. It made the argument that "I haven't seen any professional producers use anything except macs" as its main argument.

It would have been nice to hear some more technical information like mentioning core-audio, or something else.

Regarding the article itself. I'm excited that Android is target less than 20 ms round-trip latency. I'm hoping that this work can be brought back to the Linux Desktop. Messing around with Jack and dealing with xruns is something I wish I could stop doing.
There was a lot of juice back in the day for research priorities around aviation, nuclear weapons, etc but those were all things that were militarily significant.
The term “dark pattern” refers to user interface design patterns. That’s where the “pattern” bit comes from. There was already a term for anti-pattern which referred to mistakes. I wanted a term that had a Machiavellian tone to it, so I chose “dark” (Star Wars, Harry Potter, why not?).

I’m not quite sure why this term proved to be so popular. I think it is helpful to have a term that is a little vague though, as it can be a lot of work to pin down whether something is truly deceptive with an outcome of harm - or just an annoying attempt to nudge.
It is wild that nobody seems to know - anecdotally (it's all anectodal, i guess) i've heard anything from 20% to 90%, it really depends who i ask.

That’s about it. This is a “you must’ve been there to believe it”. Enjoy the anecdote and move on.

>Ask HN: Do you think Agile/Scrum is beneficial for software delivery?

Yes.

>Besides being a dream for micromanagers, it seems to be more about signalling progress vs. actually making progress.

It is. Management being able to change direction every 1-2 weeks is fantastic for management but can be really bad for burnout.

Every day you have to talk about what you worked on and what you planned to work on like you're toddlers who can't be trusted to do work.

Every two weeks you have agonizing meetings where you're expected to analyze the past weeks, and come up with plans to improve them as a team. This sounds good on paper but after years of it, you mostly want to shoot yourself.

And that's assuming your team doesn't agree to a 1 week sprint, where the total meeting load can be 10% of the time spent working.

And that's at companies that are pretty good at it.

So yes, it's good for software delivery. But for something called agile/scrum, it's awfully process heavy, and it sucks as an engineer.
It has taken me many decades, but I finally settled on this a my main approach to life.

When it's all over, all you will have left is the story. Make sure it's a good one.
However, most of that should be done in the background — it shouldn’t affect your actual text input speed. Auto-format is more along the lines of something that could be blocking, but we’re not dealing with latex problems as to be significant
