I'm all for inclusion, but it's not like anyone's skin is the yellow color of the default faces.

Instinctively I agree with you, but: does that yellow color remind you of the Simpsons? On that show, the white people are yellow but the brown people are brown. The yellow isn’t really neutral.
The diagram shows force vectors, not centre of gravity.

Railcare rolling stock typically has low CG. Bogies, switches, and related equipment are located low in the car and have significant mass. The carriage shell itself is typically far lighter construction (less so in the US, due to higher crush-strength requirements based on the assumption that passenger and freight rail share trackbeds, significant enough that it's limited the maximum speed of US-based rail initiatives even presuming sections of dedicated track so long as any shared rights of way exist).

For a CG diagram, I'd expect the CG to remain well within the wheel gague width, resulting in a stable vehicle.
Artificial Intelligence and Its Use in Cybersecurity

With over 7 years of experience, I worked with startups, big companies, and even co-founded a few business. My main focus is on fullstack development with React & Django or Node.js but over the years I touched many different technologies and wore many different hats. Including product management, startup growth, and being a tech lead of a fast-moving team.

I consider myself a creative problem solver. At the end of the day what makes me tick is combining code, testing, architecture, product, and team spirit to solve actual problems.

I am available for short term contract (2-3 months). If you are interested please let me know.
Don't tell wallstreetbets.
But humans are much more independent than the cells of a slime mold. This has always been a bit of a halting analogy for me.
> Later they will handle similarly any devices provided by employer.

And actually, it is important that we correct this situation in both directions right at the start.

In my opinion, the laptops should be treated more like toilets. Sure, they aren't your property and you should be a bit suspicious about "hygiene" (security, etc, in the case of the laptop), but I absolutely expect to not be spied upon and it should be a crime to spy on usage of a company laptop once they allow it to be brought home.

In fact, when an employer expects me to take the laptop home with me I generally reject liability for its physical security I would generally push for access to a secure locker on premises to store it. If I go to a bar after work, I don't want to be concerned with company property, I don't want to carry around anything more than my wallet and phone. There should be consideration for me taking care of the physical security of company property if they are unwilling to provide secure storage in the office. The bare minimum of such consideration would be the understanding that I can use it for (limited) personal use at home. I can make personal exceptions for limited times I have some kind of on call, but my general norm would be to leave company property on company premises.

So yeah, if you are going to issue laptops to students that you expect them to assume responsibility for, you should provide some kind of consideration over just the "opportunity" to do school work at home. Leave that for school hours. I do recall some teachers talking about how homework prepares one for the real world when the sad reality is you should be trying to find employers that can provide you with a better work life balance than that.

These are my norms at least, and I think they are reasonable. If the company wants to get something (me taking the laptop home) then they need to give something (absolutely forbid involuntary remote full administrative access, that is give me privacy).
I don’t want this man to have any power or influence over anyone ever again
I don't understand why this was down voted. It is an interesting comment!

I always assume the floor for equity is the first tick above zero, e.g., 1 US cent or 1 Euro cent or 1 Japanese yen. Honestly, I don't know if any traditional stock exchanges allow zero price or less for shares. If anyone knows an example, please post about it!

Another reason why this comment matters: Does anyone remember when oil futures went negative? (April 2020) I am sure more than a few computer systems were unprepared for that scenario. I remember when short-end Japanese rates were zero and negative after the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. It was a real monkey wrench in the machine!
Same, that's why I have some. Not a lot, but some, in case SHTF.
I can't see how this can affect the echo chamber issue in any way. Turning the "disklike" button into "respect, but dislike" hardly does anything to the substance of the general conversation topics. People are still socially afraid of presenting viewpoints and trying to make people do so with their own name and face will produce worse results VS twitter. Unless a monochamber is what you're shooting for.

To be fair to you, I hardly see any technological solution within humanity's current capabilities as a solution for the problem.
Also around that era was a game-programming system called White Lightning for ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64. It was very clever but I found it quite hard to use because of the block-based editor. It was not a great fit for computers using cassette tapes for storage.

The comparison seems off. What you're missing is monogamy. If your partner does not want to play board games as frequently as you, then it is perfectly acceptable to find someone else to play board games with. With sex in a monogamous relationship not so much.

Even still, a healthy relationship is giving and taking. My wife may want me to go for evening walks with her while I hate them, but still I go with her because I know it makes her happy. Dead bedrooms are imo a sign of one partner not giving.
> We don't have the capacity to support Cinder as an independent open-source project

Our team is smaller than you might think! You also left off the last half of that sentence, which is quite important: "nor any desire for it to become an alternative to CPython."

We'd love to see the ideas and implementations in Cinder end up in upstream CPython in some form or another. It'll make our lives easier in that we won't have to maintain as much forked code, and hopefully everyone else will benefit from a faster CPython.

The Value of App Localization for Israeli Businesses
What is app localization and why are Israeli companies in a great position to profit from it? Once you have software, you have a product and a variety of business options to monetize it - globally, in fact.

People also forget how important fertility was. Many children died young or at birth, and the mother was in danger too. Raising children to adulthood was good fortune and a way to prosperity. Divination and magic are ways to influence that in that kind of context.
It's a beautiful sign that these companies are becoming very powerful entities. We got used to existence of superpowers or dictatorships in the shape of a very strong or narrow-minded country governments. Now large companies prove to have similar influence to a likewise governments. We are used to watch out for monopolies, but those companies created something even more evil without being scrutinised - some kind of omnipoly, where they have power over many aspects of life by owning small-ish companies from different domains. They created a bubble where only their truth is true, and only their business is only allowed business.

What they just did with these slides? They had power to censor them. Who else has power to censor stuff? Superpowers and dictators. Similarities are starting show.

Are we already past that point where we could control these companies with law, policies and rules? They are so big and powerful, because we missed what they were doing. They were slowly and patiently building their power. Now they can tell governments what to do. Now there are governments in the world that seemingly have less resources than them to make them accountable.

Did they bought us all already? How much is left outside of their control or at least their knowledge?

I hope this is and will always be a scary fantasy. Otherwise we're going to experience some new and miserable developments in the near future.
Sounds like Sheldrake's ideas on morphic resonance (which they don't cite) but this time with a more complex mechanism. Wouldn't occam's razor direct us to prefer the original form? Though people have been trying to test that for years and rarely convinced anyone that it happens.

> No one is working from a checklist when they select their partners, so why set yourself up to fail by imagining they are.

They're not doing this consciously. Research supports the notion that people widely agree on what features make a person attractive:

https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2F0033-2909.1...

It follows that if you fail to meet these criteria you are considered unattractive.

> Develop a growth mindset, focus on building your skills, build rich and fulfilling friendships. Ask for feedback and accept it. Build others up. People will want to be around you.

This assumes attractiveness is caused by factors that are within our control. This doesn't seem to be the case. Height is a very simple and uncontroversial example. How is a "growth mindset" supposed to help the incel who gets rejected by women on dating apps because he's shorter than them?

This isn't some insane idea either. Women I've dated have complained about short men on dating apps to my face. They want those men to reject themselves so as to spare them from even acknowledging their existence.

> If you are suggesting that 80% of men will face universal rejection, I find that extraordinarily hard to believe. It's quite frankly trivially falsifiable.

I said the data shows women reject about 80% of men they see on dating apps. The set of rejected men is different for every woman. Universally rejected men (incels) are the insersection of these sets, naturally it is a smaller set than 80% of men.

The fact is there's massive inequality in dating. Like all inequalities, it'll probably get worse over time.

> Because you've made vague gestures that somehow society is to blame, but won't say how you'd fix it.

Not providing a fix doesn't invalidate my point.

> Either that means you aren't sure, which undermines the idea that society is actually to blame, or your ideas are so repugnant that you are afraid to show them the light of day.

Yeah, I just encountered this subject. The most obvious solution is to go back to enforced monogamy. Nothing repugnant about that but obviously female agency will be impacted. You don't seem to be open to any ideas that don't maximize female agency.

> You do not get to claim a moral victory by claiming to be a victim and then failing to engage with even the lightest questioning of your narrative.

No, you don't get to dismiss people's arguments as "toxic" and then demand they "engage" with your questioning.
To be clear, the original poster specific OTC (over-the-counter), which means does not trade on a regular stock exchange, like NYSE & NASDAQ.

Also, to give credit to your answer, >5K CHF is more than 5K USD! Looks like CHF->USD is about 1.09 right now.
I'm starting to feel that "Open Soruce" is somehow beginning to become a cancer. We should really aim for Free Software, not just "Open Source".

Grafana chose to relicense as Affero GPL, whereas Elastic has been kinda doomed by its own homemade license.

Not if she's in the same situation, like most classmates and other Geneva people.

What if my temporary work visa gets denied? If I had a family, I could end up unemployed, deported, and separated from wife and kids. Those kids would grow up without a father around, increasing their chances of divorce. It would be disastrous.

Would I rather choose a wife based on her nationality, or go through the long, gruelling process of trying to earn it? My girlfriend is from Taiwan, and despite its many flaws, the Immigration system is really my only hope for getting the prerequisites to start a family.
You can feel whatever you want about what it indicates, none opposed the worst aspects of their group, most supported them when pressed, most subscribe to a number of malicious beliefs and behaviours; you are welcome to show evidence where they dont. And again they offer no such nuance to those they disagree with so combined with the above none shall be offered in return.

The groups public behaviour indicates the ideology just fine; and when a group becomes publicly malicious enough on a large enough scale the onus is on the defence (eg its a given the nazis were evil; someone defending them doesn't get to come in and just hysterically scream "show me the evidence" because its public knowledge).

I was going to give you some friendly advice that having the clichéd attitude that everyone else is stupid really makes for a miserable life.

Bit of a lost cause maybe, but seriously, let the superiority complex go, it really doesn't help make you happy. I say this from experience.
A Community Collaborative Drawing Session
Yeah, but that's $45 USD per month which is an expensive way to learn and test things that would normally cost <$5. It does get you $50 per month of Azure credits though, so it's probably the route I'd go if it's possible to buy a month of Visual Studio and ignore everything but the Azure credits.
Ah, I can see that. Although a part of this might also be the social stigma attached to the whole thing.

On the flipside I've read somewhere about e.g. the Dutch government acknowledging sex as human desire to a point they pay it for some people with permanent disabilities, kind of as a form of therapy. I guess you could call that dystopian in a sense, I'd say it's much less so than people literally dying from a lack of accessible healthcare. But that's another can of worms.
The real issue is threefold in nature: definitions of racism have and are changing rapidly, secondly its not any personal (or dictionary) definition that counts but a kind of collective acceptance of a definition which carries the most weight, and thirdly, if someone says they are offended or says that it is actually racism, then they should be listened to.

It might not be a problem now, but it could be.
Why are you hyping man? Calm down.

Maybe you (OP) need to look at your HN about page again.

> You're posting too fast. Please slow down.

Thanks.
Closing the loopholes is more a political issue than a lack of resources issue. Companies like Apple won’t do illegal stuff but they will take advantage of loopholes. For example, the double Dutch Irish sandwich, which was recently closed, was one of the favorite ways for companies to avoid paying tax in the EU. Do you think it was a lack of resources impeding closing that loophole?
People are capable of living in large groups. Thats how we get the largest cities in the world.

But the Upvote/Like & Follower count based reward/signalling system on social media is dumb as shit. Even Ants with billion member colonies have more sophisticated signalling.

So now we just sit around and wait for the buffoon class that invented it and mindlessly cling to it to retire or die.

I'm not convinced. Can you go to the Berkshire shareholder meeting and vote for your 0.0001 shares?

I find it much more likely that it's actually your broker who truly owns the share and you have a contract with them. This is not at all like a house which can actually have two true owners.

That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with such an arrangement, of course.
One creates a useful material and can potentially be optimized to be more efficient in the future, while the other uses by definition more and more energy for very questionable benefits.
Wow, lots of white guys in the comments talking about how unneccesary that is. Really, just think for a moment if all emoji were changed to a dark skin color and you couldn't change it.
When I see people using them it's usually someone who thinks it's funny to use another skin tone than their own.
If they use the correct one I can't help but think they're racist.
This is an interesting way to look at it. Indeed, as innocuous as it is, it forces a person to somehow identify with a skin color or at least make a choice.
Isn’t DO some random saved image from years ago? I’m still paying them for a few of those I think.
True. The internet was already ad-infested by the time Google came around. AltaVista, which was the dominant search engine before Google overthrew them was full of ads, and (ironically) Google's value proposition at the time was that it was ad-free and a lot faster than AltaVista (which was slowed down by all their ads).

How times have changed.

I can't agree more , reading this every bullsh*t alarm in my brain was triggering. In his report Mr Godfrey never mentions the frequencies used for the WSPR transmissions. This mode can be used on VHF/UHF frequencies where it may reflect from aircraft. But 95% of WSPR transmissions are on frequencies below 30 MHz and most likely below 20 MHz. These have long wavelengths and highly unlikely to be affected by an small (in wavelength terms) aircraft.
If it could be affected by aircraft then Mr Godfrey would have to take into account the movement of every aircraft in that region at the time which he doesn't appear to be doing.
As a note of explanation I'm a radio amateur and a WSPR station operator , its a brilliant tool for propagation studies but not for this.

Judging by all the comments I've seen on here I'm pretty sure that's never going to happen, so I guess Bitcoin is now in a permanent bull market.
I started using ficusjs for some experiments [2]. I built a signature button for Metamask [1].

What's great is that:

- I use preact's htm as a renderer [3], which is JSX but as template strings.

- The API is like (p)react but a bit more generalized. I like it.

- The web component concept is great. Especially for mixing server-side rendering and JavaScript-powered components.

That last one IMO is web components killer feature. I can now wrote a mini component and then I tugg it in with the other 99% of my page that is rendered server side.

It means, I'm able to serve my users quickly. I have SEO'd everything too. Cool!

Given that skin colors + genders + emojis representing (pieces of) multiple people already show the early stages of combinatorial explosion, I wonder about several things:

- How long before fonts will start encoding complex parametric curve generators, to generate complex emojis on the fly, instead of whatever they're currently doing (which I imagine is a bunch of precoded vector graphics + code to recolor and glue them)?

- How long before such fonts become some complicated that they become exploitable? I mean, we can already do DOS attacks with Unicode text, but I wonder when it'll cross the threshold to arbitrary code execution?

- How long before encoded emojis themselves become Turing-complete? 10 years from now, someone will want to write: Person Facepalming + Bald + Male Sign + Light Skin Tone + Military Uniform + Red + Pin + Gold, [several similar entries describing the rest of the bridge crew of Enterprise-D], Each, Person, Standing In Circle, Each, Robot, Dancing - and we'll have a loop and a conditional branch, pretty much an embedded Forth.

On the one hand, that last thing would have disastrous implications - on the other hand, we can only cram so much complexity into emojis before someone will start asking for tools to manage it better...
