Possibly to maximize oil profits while shrinking the company by cutting R&D, marketing, and exploration.
Probably don't want fringe groups to procreate without limit. Not just with respect to Uyghurs, where family planning sterilizations are being applied to those who had 3+ kids, but any potential (non-secular) groups.
Some of the "tech people" collecting their annual FAANG bonus would be incredibly upset if the 24x7 surveillance they helped build, would suddenly made personal.

Most interesting statement I have seen on this is

"Surveillance Camera Man":
https://youtu.be/mP5ZVPwP7bg

Nobody gets upset with the 24x7 web browsing, video gait tracking, street video and audio recording, face-rec, FBI planes recording 24x7 for post analysis of possible crimes, etc...etc...As long as they do not see it.
Put "just another camera" a few meters and suddenly everybody is a ranging lunatic.

PS: Before you are going to criticize the ethics of the "human experiment" above....With comments mentioning privacy, consent an all that. Please make sure you do not work for one of the Silicon Valley companies enabling this and much worst :-)
Sydney, nope! Well only if your really wealthy. But otherwise for the regular working person it's a hell hole.
Truth is Osaka is paid by the fees the media pay to broadcast the event, not by her followers.

According to Wiktionary, it seems to come from steering a ship.
The people who get shafted the most by this as I said aren’t “poor” but rather in the middle, the stipend that is available as a loan to students is dependent on the income of the parents and even a £45K household income would limit that stipend to around £6 whilst Oxford requires £10K for affordability and it’s unlikely that most households would be able to make up the difference unless they planned for that and made sacrifices early on in their child’s life and most importantly were lucky enough to able to afford to make those sacrifices consistently.
I really don’t think that would be needed. I’ve never had a timeout on archive.org and the rise in costs probably wouldn’t be worth the value add.
This is a questionable metric. You can have a better "balance" between the amount of work and non-work hours in your day and still live a worse life. You can have all sorts of entitlements in your employment contract and pay for it through high taxes. Of course, you can also have none of the entitlements and high taxes, like in the US.

If you're one of the people who actually have the option to leave, you probably won't want to go to any of these nordic countries, because:

- the weather sucks

- the cities are boring (though perhaps not quite as boring as most US cities)

- you'll probably earn less money (at least in tech) while most goods/services are more expensive

- you're (indirectly) paying for entitlements that you don't get, unless you become a citizen
End-to-end privacy preserving deep learning
But that doesn't solve the problem, just works around it:

1. Images are still pre-baked with a given UID/GID pair, so you can't distribute them as something universal and reusable.

2. This requires workarounds / extra steps on a local workstation, so it doesn't work for everyone unless they follow a given project's unique quirks setup.

Shell/compose duct tape like this doesn't make for a great experience, this really should be solved by upstream projects themselves as it's an extremely common issue when attempting to use Docker.
But for example, I set my default browser to Firefox once, and macOS has never nagged me about Safari since then. That's a difference isn't it?
A Chinese billionaire dies every 40 days
You seem to have some sour grapes about criticism of China and some kind of twisted, paranoid presumption about Western attitudes toward non-Western policymaking.

The point was not to make fun of the word choice “harmonious”, but rather to point out that CCP-led China is functionally an ethnostate that bluntly prefers and privileges one identity over the others.

Funny you mention it, given that certain minorities were exempt from the "one child" policy, and are likely exempt from this one too.
I think that almost in every city of the world you can find a good chunk of local people who thinks the same about their city. Grass is greener etc etc
so, does this mean a spacewalk is on average more deadly then for example having COVID-19 or driving from Paris to Amsterdam?
Ok. This sounds like a bit of a change of subject, but I think I follow. This all sounds a bit general: which 'underpaid workers' (and what is 'underpaid'?), which bosses, and how much are they 'raking in', is it illegal? You need to be more precise to diagnose a problem.

More importantly -- what are these people of whom you speak doing about improving their condition? Are they demanding a raise? You have my sympathy if you are the one stuck with an unreasonable employer and feel that you are underpaid: my advice would be to look for a new job and tell your employer where to go once you've found one.

However, if you are not in that category -- I have to say that I've never found the altruistic Guardianista (there -- I've said it!) approach to economic problems to be at all credible. It all smacks of some perverse neo-Christian moralising about what's 'fair' and 'good'. You can nearly always tell that an economic argument is lost when people start speaking about morality. If you want to go to Heaven, you're welcome. Me -- I'd rather go to Disneyland : at least it's actually there (besides, I've never been before).

Doesn't matter how "livable" a city is if one will never find a place to rent there and buying is out of reach for a salaried person.
I agree with other posters that external noise - neighbours, cars, loud music - is more stressful than internal noise.

However, the trend with modern homes (houses and flats) to create open plan layouts with combined kitchen and living spaces makes appliance noise feel more intrusive.

I live in a modern (new build) flat with a combined kitchen and living room which I have come to dislike.

The constant hum of the fridge/freezer - harmless 'white noise' to some - is annoying when it's ever present in the living room. My food processor sounds like a drill penetrating concrete.

The worst offender is the cooker hood or cooker extractor. It sounds like a jet engine about to take off. It's impossible to listen to music or other audio (even with headphones) while the cooker hood is switched on.

Washing machines have improved a bit on the noise front, but many UK homes still have washing machines in the kitchen - problematic if you have an open plan layout. Modern front-loading washing machines also have ridiculously long wash times for normal wash programmes e.g. 3 hours. Imagine having to listen to your washing machine for that duration while sitting in your living room.

All these things have made me really dislike the open plan layouts that are the default in new build housing today.
I suspect your sentiment generalizes very well. Most problems of all kinds have mundane contributing factors that nobody thought were important at the time.

That's why they are all moving to Brisbane. And they shouldn't, because we are full :P
Imagined this would be about people buying construction-grade tools from Home Depot for the house.

I also had a brief recall of the generally med to low quality of home goods my great grandparents would buy from Sears or Montgomery Wards for the kitchen. 1950s 60s 70s. Compared to what my parents bought in the 80s, 90s— over the top quality you would get at Macy’s or, if you had one nearby, a restaurant supply store.
as a tax-paying resident with a valid working permit you are entitled to all sorts of social security benefits. The only limit I ever had (in NL) was "unemployment benefit" which requires a minimum employment history of 6 months.
Gotta love HN comment section on a story such as this. People here solving math problems more than questioning the power of a government to tell people how many children they are ALLOWED to have.
We have annual safety inspections here (US-MA). Those also connect up to the OBD2 port (if equipped) to verify no emissions-related fault codes.

In my younger days, I had a heavily modified car that was no problem to get to pass, despite numerous possible non-compliance items.
Or if the winter is six full months of gray doom and gloom with freezing temperatures like in Helsinki, for that matter...
"But most small towns aren’t great environments for raising a kid."

This sounds strange? What are the negative factors in such an environment? As a parent I happen to live in a city but never considered a small town would be a poor environment for my kids.
Rewrite it as

.50(B) + .25(G+B) + .25(G+G) = .75(B) + .75(G)

and it balances.
A couple of Catholic holidays doesn't change the situation much. Our own experiences are anecdotal, but I used to live in a high-ranking Nordic city from this list and prefer Berlin myself.

The list doesn't rank any mid-tier cities so that's out of scope. It would be the same for Nordics: medium cities would top the capitals if they were included.
Not surprising, as the average age is quite high (39) and the lack of a properly funded retirement pension
I'm in tech because I enjoy it. There's something fun about programming - it's similar to the logic puzzles I play in my own time. If we're on HN, probably on a bank holiday for most of us, then I assume if you read this you enjoy it too. I don't know anyone who got into tech for the money - much easier to earn more in IB/Quant Trading.
ente looks interesting to me, but I would like to have the feature to share an album with anyone who has the link. I guess that is not so easy to do though as it would require creating a decrypted copy of the photos in the album that you wish to share which would take extra time and space.
Must give parents leverage when arguing with a child

Can you raise a unreported child in china? How would that work? With no papers at all and the communist buerocrats also really likes paper about everything. ?
> paranoid presumption

There is no "paranoid presumption", that's literally what the comment I'm replying to was doing.

So, look at reality instead of sitting on your high horse, believing that all defenses of China are "paranoid".

> The point was not to make fun of the word choice “harmonious”, but rather to point out [..]

Again, read the comment. You are denying reality. They literally said nothing concrete, only imply negative connotations about the word "harmonious".
For that there's Bandcamp.com

I got Spotify, but it's a family plan due to my SO. I buy just about all the music from Bandcamp anyway.
You can be targeted without explicitly selling data to a third party. This is how most large advertising networks work. They don't send a dump of all user data to a third party who wants to advertise.
Not quite. Multi-player games with anti-cheat has a serious problem running on Proton.
Yeah, I'm not suggesting that they would have done anything nefarious with that information. I'm just saying I liked the transparency of the Cambridge system. You'd hold an admission letter in your hand before anyone had asked any questions about money, making it very transparent that money had nothing to do with that decision. The possibility that you could end up in a situation of having an offer but no money would still exists, but then at least you'd know that that's what happened. If you put all the info on one form you have to basically just trust them to handle the information appropriately.
I wonder too, but I think the result will not be better than the samples from which you train it.
That is what I meant. The stuff you can buy at REI or specialty outdoor stores, or direct online these days.

The demand became so great after September 11 that several outdoor gear manufacturers pivoted entirely to military products—Dana Gleason and Wild Things, among others.
Depending on your phone manufacturer, you need no disable energy saver feature for the app you want to run background. It might get even more confusing and complicated depending what customization the manufacturer has added to stock Android.
And who exactly gets the money? Because as I see, there is no corruption in the system at all. There are a few inefficiencies, but it’s incomparable to the bleeding out of musicians.
Some people pick the strangest hills to die on.

Per this argument, I would think that an exponential function is different to something experiencing exponential growth. One of them is a definition, the other is a description. They aren’t really interchangeable when it comes to communicating a point.
Do I really need to prove that you can starve with a million ideas in your head? That everyone around has countless ideas and it's impossible to know which ones can create value without spending time and money to try to develop them?

I think the extraordinary claim is to pretend to know the value of an idea upfront. Very few people (Venture Capitalists, business investors, etc) try that and they fail more often than they succeed.

Show me someone who can reliably predict the idea success rate and I will show you a billionaire!
I played out live for a decade and absolutely used the knobs on my pedals live. Most musicians I knew with a pedalboard did the same.

That said, if you use a preset based effects setup like rackmount gear, I could see how this would be cool.

For gambling it would would work if you do a "double or nothing" type of bet.

Unfortunately, you'll be quickly rate limited by birth capacity, even if you somehow manage to double the amount of children per birth.

Also, asymptotically, you'll still be around a 50% split.
You can model most useful nonlinear functions with neural networks, this is unsurprising. You can also use Volterra series. You can even estimate/measure the Volterra kernel then train a NN to model it instead of dealing with the computational complexity of generalized convolution for nonlinear dynamic systems.

The hard part is that there are some fundamental limitations to deal with. The biggest is aliasing - distortion effects in particular deal with enormous amounts of distortion (> 100% THD) which creates spectrums far outside the range of hearing. Digital audio systems need to have high orders of oversampling to prevent audible aliasing (8-16x is not unheard of!).

After aliasing is memory. It's too early in the morning for me to do math but I'm almost certain you can't model a looper with a causal NN that has less internal state memory than the length of your loop. Doing so is dumb anyway, since loopers are pretty trivial and their biggest cost is memory. Same goes for digital delay and modulation effects, the algorithms are not expensive.
How to Shop for a Used Laptop or Desktop PC
I was a curiously depressed child. A natural reader, I was exposed to and fell in love with "the classics" during mid elementary school - about 3rd grade. Reading material far to mature for my age, "great literature" is typically a deep evaluation of tragedy, failure and betrayal. By the tail end of 4th grade I has in a sophisticated depression that drove away adults, school councilors, therapists and local clergy. I would debate them as they tried to advise me, and I would lead them into my depression and they'd be captured too.
But one girl two grades beneath me thought I was hilarious. It first I thought she was insane, as no matter what I said or did she had some type of hilarious reaction. In anger on day I asked her what her problem was, and she (confused) thought I was a huge Edward Gorey fan and was playing his characters. I'd not heard of Edward Gorey before, so she takes me to the children's library and shows me his books. It was like meeting a mirror of my attitude. Reading those and finding the satire side of literature saved my life.

Especially in tech hubs in the US, there are approx. as many Asian as White people. So don't think this interpretation would make sense?
They probably need to pay a good salary to be able to hire folks who would otherwise join a FAANG.
This confused me as well and I came to the comments to see if there was any explanation...
I'm British and to me "quite" here means "mostly" i.e. not entirely. Could well be a misunderstanding but it should be made clearer as this data is priceless.
I taught myself how to repair stuff so now I can get a lot of stuff for nearly free and repair what I already own. You can buy spare parts for almost anything online today, or even find an alternative part that is cheaper. People throw out things that are barely broken.
When you say Potsdam is better than Berlin, have you have ever been outside of Mitte, Kreuzberg and Neukölln? Because there are a lot of places in Berlin that are very much like Potsdam. For example Schmöckwitz.

And about public transport: If I travel M10 in the rush hour, its obviously hell. But traveling S5 saturnday night after a very nice concert is pretty hard to beat. But then again, it's the same as Potsdam where you would take S1.
It seems that the wealthiest countries also have higher cost of living (for the same level of life). I guess it kinda makes sense in a way.
The annual donation drive messages dishonestly imply a level of urgency that has never existed. At no point in Wikipedia's history has the project been threatened due to a lack of funds.
Probably because number of hours worked per week is only one of the metrics involved in the general ranking.

Very much so. It's really tribalism.
Yeah I guess also the sticker price of Oxbridge being lower may make this the better choice. Even though the majority of students don't pay the list price at top US schools it is a really daunting number, and so for low income students not familiar with the process I can imagine getting an offer without any info about aid would be more stressful.
Boomer here. A number of my professors (at a so-so school in the US West) came from at best lower middle class families and went through college on the GI Bill. One of the better ones had been something like a signalman in the Navy, another (a star from whom I never took a class) did enlisted service in the USAAF, I think.

Alvin Kernan, who had a long career in academia, wrote in the early pages of his memoir In Plato's Cave of the influx of men like himself, attending college on the GI Bill in the late 1940s.

Many people just revert the modifications in order to pass the regular inspection. And enforcing is hard logistically because the Police should be able to detect and confirm such cases. Which means personnel, training, equipment, and a lot of time taken away from other duties. This won't deter anyone from tearing up the asphalt in an area that appears to have no police around.
Yes I was surprised to see the guitar signal going in directly. A simple DI box would improve the sound noticeably.
Kinda depends on the life part, too.
Show HN: Estimate Runtime Complexity
One of the most common things I see these demographic analysis miss is the changing average age of mothers: as they focus on careers, they might postpone giving birth to later in life (30-40yo), compared to the traditional (20-30yo). With this move happening over a couple of decades, it is only natural to have a diminished birth rate as motherhood catches up with the 10 year shift (since it's a cultural thing, it would be happening over a time span of, say, 20 years).

I don't know if it's true in China, but if looked at carefully, it might not be the time to sound the alarms. The same happened in the West, just by 20-50 years prior.
I knew a SA who left because of this kind of gang violence. She’d mentioned people would booby trap their cars and also some people would carry flame throwers with them depending where their trip took them.

SF isn’t there yet by a long shot, but a couple of decades of hands off approach and deference to criminals and it’s not out of the question.
Yes, this is what I meant and the solution you describe is what I'd be looking for. So +1 from me!
I put together this tool to estimate runtime complexity given the input size and max time the algorithm has available.
I was motivated by competitive programming.
Sometimes the problem size is sufficiently small and your algorithm has enough time to be naive.
I lacked an intuition for how input size and complexity translates into time.
My intuition was limited to: O(N^2) is bad unless the input size was ~10,000.
Putting this tool together, I feel like I have a better intuition now.
Hopefully exploring the tool will improve your intuition.
If you didn't enable javascript, take a look at the table at the bottom of the page to see how input size and complexity translate to time.

I was hoping for a resource similar to "Latency Numbers Every Programmer Should Know"[1] to help me ballpark how long my algorithm would take before implementing it. I put together a table at the bottom of the page to explore the powers of 2, time, and the runtime complexity. Eventually I realized I could take a step further and ask for a deadline and input size and I could estimate the required runtime complexity.

If you do not wish to buy the property, the Bank sells it at through an auction to the highest bidder. The high bidder pays the Bank the amount of the bid in cash and receives the Title Deed card for that property. Any player, including the one who declined the option to buy it at the printed price, may bid. Bidding may start at any price

So in this case the highest bidder is no one. As a result, no one will get the property.
The cool bit about this to me is that $120 in hardware is a the one-off prototyping cost. As a product it could be made much cheaper.

Another benefit to a software defined pedal is that it can express sounds that cannot be replicated in analog. Emulation is boring. Train it to do stuff that I can't buy in a pedal!
