That is not the reason the paper has been ignored. If it really were wrong, somebody would say where. But most astrophysicists are nowhere near as familiar with the maths involved as the paper's author is.

It is ignored because it is inconvenient. There is no practical consequence for continuing to be wrong, in cosmology or astrophysics. You can be wrong and publish papers, be wrong and get hired, be wrong and get tenure. Meanwhile, there is no upside in letting dark matter have no role in galactic rotation curves. Feeling smug knowing everybody else is still deluded is a solitary vice. If it's right, that will probably have to be acknowledged someday, but there is no personal benefit to getting ahead of the curve, only irritation.

Cosmology has found myriad uses for dark matter besides patching up galactic rotation. Accepting reality means you need to explain why all the dark matter you have been using for these other things doesn't clump up into galaxies; or find some other way to explain what you have been using dark matter for. Dark matter is just too convenient: like the Schmoo, it can be almost anything you like, as much as you need, wherever you need it. Your use doesn't even need to be consistent with (almost) anybody else's.

When it finally becomes necessary to accept reality, no one will be embarrassed, because everyone will have lots of company, and it will never be mentioned again, at least anywhere polite.

If politicians break constitutional and/or human rights who else than jurists should step in? That is literally their job.

Of course I'd prefer if governments would respect and uphold these laws in the first place, but if they don't having a justice system that can step in is precisely what we have the division of powers for.

(In Germany, the rights of future generations are written into the constitution — the question was only if the government does enough to uphold these rights)

Alt account. This happened to a few companies in our batch too. It seems normal that 5-10% of companies game the character test. 100% of these companies basically end up with solo dictator CEO/founder and underperform. 100% of big companies from our batch had difficult founder heart to hearts on level ground, equal equity, and are still together.

Likely bonus criteria were set up in advance, but governments handing companies money certainly didn't hurt. Nor did having the people who run the company choose to award themselves bonuses. But look... end of the day here, if you give money to businesses don't expect the people running those businesses to do anything that isn't selfish with the money.

If you give a bum on the street $5, he's going to spend that money on himself. If you give a CEO $5M, he's going to spend that money on himself too. I don't see why any sane person would expect anything different. Moral of the store is don't give money to people... not bums on the street, or CEOs. Just don't do it. You'll be let down every time.
Exactly. A middle class person doesn't cry wolf that he needs to sell a portion of his house to pay the property tax, while the rich do. For example, Bezos owns 10% of Amazon voting shares would pay 0.1% per year in the form of a lien (or a loan) that lets him retain voting rights, but takes the tax when he sells or transfers his wealth (e.g. to heirs). If capital taxes existed, the rich wouldn't be able to lazily sit in the sp500 index, they would have to chase good investments (they'd have to, God forbid, take risks and do some work).

Great idea. Reminds me of a previous HN comment [1]:

How to build the next Google: all good results these days are within
communities, and Google search has become useless for most of these
searches.

So don't build a search engine: build a "rotten tomatoes

subreddits/communities/editorial-sites/forums for X".

I’d be curious to know how you plan on covering costs.

OP could've admittedly done a better job with this, but let me give it a try.

The problem comes down to spectrum, how much power you can push across that spectrum, and how you share that spectrum with other devices. The more bandwidth you have available, the more power you can send across it, and the fewer devices you have sharing it, the higher your information rate between a sender and receiver.

5G, in theory, brings a lot of spectrum to the table, so they can talk about, say 1 Gb/s or 10 Gb/s connections. The problem is, you've got to find a way to share that among users. Sharing spectrum is never a 1/n process because of inefficiencies, so you end up with a bit under 1/n speed for n users.

Meanwhile, cables might have less spectrum, but you can push comparatively more power through them, but more crucially, everyone gets their own connection and there's much less noise. So, more aggregate bandwidth across cables than over the air.

This is all very handwavy, so if someone would like to put some numbers to this and/or fix any mistakes I made, please have at it.
Plus in a world population of about 8 billion, the WHO has nothing better to do than worry about factors "contributing to" the deaths of 745k people? That should be considered a embarrassing waste of effort.

Yeah, hysteresis control aka "bang bang" control can also be unreasonably effective.

It's a natural choice when your furnace can't throttle, or can but operates most efficiently at one output level anyway.

Since the system always pushes as hard as it can, it automatically reaches the setpoint in the minimum possible time. It's almost like a PID controller with infinite gain. But the tradeoff is jitter -- all the error gets pushed up to the highest frequency bands. As long as you don't care about that in your system, it's a great choice and effortless to tune.

It can also be a bad choice if there's any cost to changing or toggling the output, like if your furnace wears out from switching on and off a lot.
What does that have to do with following Islamic finance practices? The Saudi government does not fully apply Islamic law, e.g. they allow usurious banks to open, as well as other things not worth getting into for this discussion. The Saudi government is not a reference for Islamic law.

Secondly, being rich is not prohibited in Islam.
The judiciary isn't making laws; it's pointing out the ramifications of existing laws and precedent. The judiciary would love the legislature to be in front of such questions, but they can't force another branch of government to legislate, nor is there any legal route for the populace to do so other than voting and hoping politicians will deliver on non-binding commitments.

Inflation takes years to fully emerge. And income taxes absolutely will have to go up to pay for it. It is not possible to print prosperity the same as it is not possible to tax our way to prosperity.

Interestingly, printing money exacerbates wealth inequality. The people closest to the printer get to enjoy the fresh money before inflation hits the broader economy.
> One of my many disagreements with feminism is that it has somehow persuaded itself that this is somehow a privilege for men, and not an intolerable and sometimes literally fatal burden.

It definitely is a privilege, as a whole. People bring up workplace fatalities, and compare the experience of poor or working-class men vs women in general. The experience of a working class woman in this country is absolutely worse than that of a working class man, but both are very bad, because our country is not built for our working class or poor, regardless of gender.

If you compare women vs men in the same class, men undeniable have privilege.

Islam recognizes the time value of money, just do it in a proper manner. Invest in a business and get a return. Purchase property and rent it out and make a return. There are many ways to make money that do not involve usury or gambling.

The problem (in Europe anyway) is that the legislatures are creating legally binding targets on carbon reduction, but not creating policies that can plausibly achieve this. When you have a contradiction like this it is the job of the courts to solve it.

If the legislatures don't like it they can repeal the targets or implement policies to meet them.

technically speaking smiling increases airflow and thus improves work of the brain and the body. So one of first things i do in tough/stressful situations is i make myself smile. It has immediate effect of de-anxiety and improves attention (like kind of making yourself an impartial side observer of situation which is especially important when you are outnumbered), and back in Russia i would for example smile when find myself in a bind and before starting delivering punches if/when it would come to it, and in US i smile if something gets me frustrated as the Russian style of response to frustration isn't acceptable here and before i start delivering politely shaped microaggressions (the thing which seems to replace punches here :)
But they were paying rent or paying their mortgage before it happened too.

Think of the obscene amounts of pressure people face when "hustling" to pay rent. It burns people out and pushes them to sacrifice. All because of concentrated purchasing power and artificially scarcity of time and housing.

Hustling is literally "going fast to get stuff done within a short amount of time". In order to go fast it takes energy. People are wasting energy to perform obligatory busywork for impatient people who have more money than them and are also performing obligatory busywork for people who have even more money. It's a viscous compounding of sacrifice.

I'm not pointing at Bill Gates, I'm talking about the larger network effect of time-crunch-pressure-relationships. Everyone knows there's a gun at the end of the line, if you were to stop paying rent and try to stay put in your home you'd be stepping out of line. Poor people know this more viscerally and immediately than rich people, but rich people know it just the same and are also terrified.

Exactly, on the server side player interaction is an N² problem (where N is the number of players who are currently interacting). Each of N players need updates on the (N-1) other players they can see. And without strong in-game reasons not to, players will test the limits, no matter how efficient your code (see EVE where despite them making huge improvements to their servers and code as well as already using an extremely low update rate, player battles are still basically limited by how many you can get into a system before the server topples over).
> I frankly think we're still waiting for a 'gold standard' in regular expression implementation.

Is it the implementations, or is it regexes themselves? I was under the impression that SNOBOL/SPITBOL/REBOL was the gold standard... But I guess you're saying that given some (posix?) regex syntax, implementations can/should be improved? (while eg REBOL/Red-lang goes more towards "a more pragmatic regular language for pattern recognition", I guess ?)

That's exactly what it is. Reasoning being two-fold, first is that it's easy to implement as the government knows the exact payroll of every company anyways (they file taxes quarterly), second is to keep people on the payroll in case restrictions can be loosened.

Abstract: Advanced beyond-silicon electronic technology requires both channel materials and also ultralow-resistance contacts to be discovered1,2. Atomically thin two-dimensional semiconductors have great potential for realizing high-performance electronic devices1,3. However, owing to metal-induced gap states (MIGS)4,5,6,7, energy barriers at the metal–semiconductor interface—which fundamentally lead to high contact resistance and poor current-delivery capability—have constrained the improvement of two-dimensional semiconductor transistors so far2,8,9. Here we report ohmic contact between semimetallic bismuth and semiconducting monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) where the MIGS are sufficiently suppressed and degenerate states in the TMD are spontaneously formed in contact with bismuth. Through this approach, we achieve zero Schottky barrier height, a contact resistance of 123 ohm micrometres and an on-state current density of 1,135 microamps per micrometre on monolayer MoS2; these two values are, to the best of our knowledge, the lowest and highest yet recorded, respectively. We also demonstrate that excellent ohmic contacts can be formed on various monolayer semiconductors, including MoS2, WS2 and WSe2. Our reported contact resistances are a substantial improvement for two-dimensional semiconductors, and approach the quantum limit. This technology unveils the potential of high-performance monolayer transistors that are on par with state-of-the-art three-dimensional semiconductors, enabling further device downscaling and extending Moore’s law.

Of course you can have purity in JavaScript. This function is referentially transparent and pure:

(a, b) => a + b;

While this function is not pure:

(msg) => console.log(msg)

However by your definition I guess the above function is actually also pure, since it can be passed around and manipulated without executing it?

The cool thing about Haskell is that purity can be statically guaranteed by the type system and that unpure function are explicitly marked as such in their type signature.

> Overwork CONTRIBUTES to the death of more than 745k per year.

I understood the headline figure to be suggesting that 750k people per year around the world are dying early, i.e. 10 years earlier than they would otherwise.

(Unlike you, I find it unsurprising and likely true to the point of not being headline-worthy: this is not very many people against the working age population)

The original article doesn't quite refer to that definition, but does say that 23.3 million Disability Adjusted Life-Years are lost per year, so it does seem to be working on an approximately equivalent basis.

Saying that everything around us "contributes" to death is pointless hyper-factualism. It's useful to have a scientific attempt to quantify how much each factor contributes.
Looks like a super cool project. I'm always happy to see new client-side software for communication protocols written that aims to improve upon built-in! And iMessages in particular could certainly use it. With the demise of iTunes, it now feels like iMessages is probably one of the most crufty-but-heavily-utilized user facing pieces of software Apple puts out. Maybe they have some long term plans to refactor it ala iTunes but yeesh.

This bit did make me wonder though:

>We plan to make it work without the catch.

Out of curiosity, do really think that's realistic, or even desirable long term? iMessage is ultimately an Apple service that runs heavily on Apple's infrastructure, and is directly subsidized by sales of their highly vertically integrated hardware platforms. If it turns into a cat-and-mouse fight it seems like they're always going to have the eternal upper hand, which in turn seems like it'd make for a subpar user experience (ie., breaks randomly which for an instant messaging service would be pretty bad). Also seems like they might actually be motivated to respond rather than ignore it since it'd actually be directly leeching their infra if it will work on PCs/Android without a Mac/iDevice purchase in the equation (unlike hackintoshes for example, where whatever debate there is to be had about probably very low "lost sales" it doesn't actually cost them anything).

Obviously you've probably thought this all through, but seems like just requiring an old cheap Mac or old jb'd idevice and thus avoiding Apple might be an easier path. Or alternately just stick to offering a flat out better client with the iMessage bit being Mac-only. Will be interested to see how it goes though!
