>No, it's clearly not slavery because these are folks who could work anywhere.

Well, we can consider slavery (or rape, abuse, etc.) a binary thing. That it's just about threatening someone with direct violence and not giving them any other choice.

Or we can consider it a spectrum. Few people work in a corporate job by free choice. People might enjoy work, want to build something great, and so on. But they wouldn't go do it under some idiot middle managers, in some crappy corporation, if they had the monetary freedom.

That's true even for programmers - many would just rather work on their own thing, with their own vision. It's 10x times as true to office drones, burger flippers, and the majority of corporate employees that just do a job for the money, and have absolutely no passion, or great role even, in the final outout.

>The point is - many (not all) Europeans are happy with a 10 to 4 paper pushing role. Butt in seat, collect a paycheck. That's fine. But you can't have that plus innovation and global leadership in entrepreneurship.

Innovation is not about the hours.

Globar leadership isn't about the hours either (it's more about access to a unified market, positioning, places like SV where you can easily mix and match talents and services, synergies, etc). The US has global leading companies that have little to no innovation - they're just fed well. A military and diplomatic pressure that ensures you get favorable deals worldwide also helps.

And the Fed printing money that goes to the rich and ends up as VC spending. The EU might subsidie businesses but is very stingy compared to how the US does it: shamelessly, and through a few layers to make it appear like "private" investing.

And most of it starts from Europe being devastated from WWII, and the US being barely affected. Not from some work ethic change. In the 19th century and early 20th century, Europe was a global leader in innovation, with many of today's fundamental technologies and core research being invented there (from Maxwell to Einstein, and from the car to the computer (Babbage, Zuse).
This is a reaction to China’s behavior (current example: Going wild over John Cena calling Taiwan a country).
This article suggests that you should not play too aggressive and not take continents too early (maximizing Reinforcing Feedback), because other players will then unite against you (Balancing Feedback).

However, this article fails to understand that in Risk, most players are not willing to unite. In fact, if player A and player B decide to unite against me and player A had his turn and stopped me, player B is highly likely to backstab player A and then emerge as the winner.

I've found that playing very aggressively, and really get as many continents as possible within the first few turns, is the best way to win the game. I always win if I can get 2-3 continents in the first few turns, and if I fail then the game is usually won by whomever did manage to do just that.

Being a turtle or "mongolian horde" as we call it can be interesting, but your only viable strategy is to wait for an opening while everyone else stockpiles their continental forces. If you wait too long, you're just an annoyance to the other players, but you don't actually have a good chance to win.
I don't see an issue if you want the communication to not be instantaneous. The only requirements i see are that it has to be faster than the guests, so that everyone's room is empty when they get there.

Yeah, the author is using "accuracy" when he means "precision" on many occasions, and the lack of awareness of this distinction greatly lowers the blogpost's quality.

It's not really a paradox, just some things that work for finite sets no longer work for infinite sets. The sets { A, B, C, D } and { 1, 2, 3, 4 } have the same size because they both have four elements. Another way to see that they have the same size is that you can provide a one to one mapping between them, for example A - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1.

For infinite sets the first option no longer works, you can not write down a specific number for the number of elements in a set and then see that two sets have the same size because you wrote down the same number for both of them. But the second option still works, you can provide a one to one mapping between the elements of two sets, for example n - 2n to match all natural numbers with all even numbers. Each natural number n has an associated even number 2n and each even number 2n has an associated natural number n.

And this is then just the definition of what it means for two sets to have the same size, there is a one to one mapping between their elements. And this works for finite sets as well as for infinite sets. Everything else are consequences of that. Take the natural numbers and take the natural numbers with the first k of them removed, the two sets still have the same size because you can pair n with n + k even if it is against your intuition that the size of a set does not change when you remove some of its elements.
Am I the only one getting tired of people stating confidently that containers don't improve safety _at all_ because they run on the same kernel? It's just not true.
>think "everything is easier for women because they're sexy" is an old trope

Pretending that this is a trope is harmful to discussion. Women can easily make it to 30yo without ever personally having to deal with solving any problems they have if they are pretty.

This does not however mean women don't have legit
problems. However the gap of assistance options men have vs women is incredibly vast.

I do not subscribe to the parents idea in their comment of that because they had an hour traveling of free time per day, they should get that same time at the same time of day now they are not travelling.

I think it is hilarious how quickly and flippantly you solved the problem by saying "heck" get your wife to take care of the kid and go outside for an hour guy. I certainly am not prescribing anyone travel an hour a day just to get their own free time.

If you have a wife and kids I wish you all the best.
There's one incredibly valuable feature you get with PG that you will never get with Redis or RabbitMQ or any other task queue: Enqueueing tasks transactionally with your unit of work.

If your load requirements fit using your database as a queue, it can radically simplify your system.

I've personally done a fair bit of migration from formal queue systems into an RDBMS. You simply get a lot more control and visibility that way. But I use task queues heavily too. It's all very application-specific and I don't think you can generalize.
The other way to view that is that insurers have put more work into quantifying risk than anyone else has.
They had ghettos of squat houses/shacks with literally rivers of shit, rampant prostitution and addictions, and gang rule though. And yes, legally and physically segregated.

And also, back then there weren't really any startups.

And they had it only because rest of the world nearly killed one another with US being the only country that managed to sit the WWII out.

The numbers are quite impressive, however, apart from thermal expansion other numbers, such as density and strength are not specified, which makes SR-71 mentioning quite dubious.
My opinion is that exams are counter productive. Why do we need the exams? If a person is not knowledgeable it's not the university problem it's the employer problem, it's on the employer to find out that the person does not have the ability to add value to the business. The purpose of univeristy should be to give access to knowladge not to make sure an adult person actually studies it. The university can only attest that the student had access to such and such courses thought by such and such people...
>> An army consisting exclusively of F-35 vs old generation jets could decimate all enemy jets without losing a single F-35.

Maybe ... in the air ... if the numbers are the same ... if all of those F-35s are able to fly ... if the other side doesn't have a significant SAM capability ... if if if. In a realworld battle between armies the air-to-air capacity of fighters is a small part of the battle. Most will try to defeat the other's aircraft using ground assets, missiles/manpad. Ideally you take out aircraft in their hangars. A single well-placed artillery shell can take out a dozen F-35s in a hangar. A single frogfoot can destroy any F-35 that is low on fuel/ammo/speed after engaging a couple flankers. Realworld combat is messy. A pack of crows can take down an eagle.
REST is popular and everyone knows what it is generally. The differences between what is happening in the post (JSON RPC over HTTP) are fairly subtle to a casual reader when compared to REST.

For the majority of the target audience (I assume some level of technologist), it’s probably more confusing than not to go through and talk about RPCs. The “rest” of us (haha) know what they mean when they say REST and show RPC.

I don’t think this is a hill to die on, or even a big deal whatsoever.
I'm not sure the OP can appreciate your comment though.
Incorrect-ish. Alloys have metallic bonds, colloquially a "sea of electrons." There are no[0] discrete, covalent bonds like you would find in nonmetallic molecules. But the atoms are absolutely bonded in the sharing electrons sense. This is what gives strength and toughness to metals.

[0] - grossly oversimplifying here. Also I was mostly an organic chemist and didn't study metallurgy much.

Huh, interesting. I’ve noticed I get a bit of a headache looking at my iPhone X. Ironically I switched to iOS partly due to the latency sensitivity you mention.
Uh, yeah, that confirms what osigurdson said, not that they're in-memory. For that IIRC you need to mount a ram-disk in your OS and put the table on that. Definitely also make it UNLOGGED, though.

To people who like area control games like Risk, I highly recommend checking out Inis or Kemet. Tammany Hall, and El Grande are other favorites as well, but are less about dudes on a map than the first two.

Anything that deals with calculus has infinities underneath. Much of the modern technology wouldn’t exist if we wouldn’t know calculus.

Also, check out Fourier transform and try to rewrite it without infinities - https://bookdown.org/vshahrez/lecture-notes/fourier-transfor... . Without fourier transform we wouldn’t have mp3, and the whole field of signal processing if I’m not mistaken.

Without signal processing we would not have long distance digital communication.
mRNA vaccine was originated in the US in the 1980s [1]. BioNTech got in the mRNA game thanks to Katalin Kariko, who was a professor at UPenn [2].

Moderna started working at mRNA based approach in the similar timeframe, and get similar results. Also what does it tell you that Moderna can do trial and manufacturing on its own, as opposed to BioNTech who has to rely on Pfizer? Trial was absolutely vital in order to bring the vaccine to the mass that quickly, and Pfizer's role was essential.

Of course Katalin is also Hungarian, so again, it goes to prove that things are complicated than it appears.

Pure HTML+CSS websites are, of course, way easier to code than ones with heavy Javascript (Assuming we're talking about hand-coded websites, and absent other factors like the developer's personal familiarity.)

But there's also things you can't do without Javascript. For example, if you want a fade-in animation to play when the user scrolls to a certain spot on the page, you'll probably want to calculate the user's scroll position with Javascript. If you don't address the no-JS case specifically, the element will never fade-in for users without Javascript!
If collisions can happen they will happen with probability 1, since there is infinite opportunity. There's also the issue of there not existing a uniform distribution on the integers, so it's hard to get the chances of collision low in the first place.
Ask HN: Where are the job resources for science graduates?
I'm a neuroscience graduate student. I was visiting home when the pandemic hit and since I couldn't go back immediately, I was forced to take a break from my course.

I've been trained to work with EEG and fMRI analysis. My research focus has been on early cognitive development (signs of linguistic development + empathy). I've been applying for all kinds of jobs I think I can be applicable for.

All the jobs that are for science graduates seem to be hidden away on job boards that are hosted by universities. But I haven't had any luck with start-ups either. The new "science" addition to the job categories on "workatastartup" is nice, but most jobs are only looking for highly experienced people.

Every time I've applied to startups that are open to hiring new graduates, I explain that I'm interested in research roles, but also open to working in support (entry-level is no problem for me). It's been nearly 15 months that I've been looking for jobs, so naturally, I'm a bit worried. Has anyone else faced this problem and know how to solve it?
>It does nothing to stop the virus spread

Why? The bars are rather strongly correlated in the data to COVID transmission and logically are risky spots. The relative risk reduction of the pfizer vaccine is 95%. If the "Vaccine passport" was not easily faked I see no reason this would not make cases plummet. Even if it WAS easily faked not everybody who didn't get a vaccine would fake such information. Why is this security theater when even 50% effectiveness would lead to a dent in breakouts? The only reason I could imagine this was ineffective would be >90% vaccination rates to begin with or similar but some area are closer to 50% as of this post.

Is it so horrible that the unvaccinated (without some evidence of medical exemption) could not go to bars, work in hospitals, and other high risk activities? COVID is R0=5.7, why should all of society put up with distancing, mask, etc measures to accomodate what is essentially the selfishness of those avoiding the vaccine in large part because they're banking on not dying personally if infected, or other people getting the vax protecting them so they don't need to take the risk of an emergency vaccine, or subscribing to cranks? If people feel spike proteins are too dangerous to risk they shouldn't be going to a bar in the first place which are spike protein heaven.

>I'm also against private businesses overstepping local governmental mandates and asking for vaccination proof,

To me this decentralized form of enforcement is worlds more appealing than the centralized kind. It's practically a market based approach. You can go to Nosey Joe's bar or the antivaxxer spit swapping social house.

I've been against most governmental mandates (except for certain places under its jurisdiction like hospitals and public transit) yet I'm very supportive of a decentralized approach and providing proof of vaccination. Is the problem that the government isn't mandating it or that it's being mandated at all? I presume it's the latter because government mandates scare me FAR more.

You’re luckier than me, I get headaches from natural light.

If I’m outside on a sunny day without sunglasses I am pretty much done for the day. I have no clue why I am this way or if this is a common issue for folks out there.

I feel like you're conflating "sampling rate" with "tight feedback loop". Yes, a higher sampling rate (assuming each sample remains at or above the level of quality of your lower rate samples) is always better. But a tighter feedback loop is one where you are making decisions with that data at a faster clip too. As pointed out in the article (and by yourself), this is not always good. If you are using some averaging filter, as you say, then that is being "looser" about your feedback loop. You are recognizing that just because the accelerometer is telling you that you are going down doesn't mean you are about to crash. Someone with an overly tight feedback loop would not be so careful, and might immediately course-correct as soon as they sense they are going down unintentionally.
You've made good points but they are not related to what I am discussing which is someone charging $500 (if that is the price) to get information off google that google will do (apparently per OP) if you knew the right form.

Anyone knowing the 'right form and place to find it' can charge a price and offer a service. This is quite different than what you are describing that reputation management companies do.

An irony that is not lost on me is that high achievers often have their own problems that they would know about if they and society wasn’t so keen to dismiss the problems of others. I was told I was lazy when I couldn’t keep up with the other kids physically (just exercise more), and I thought they were lazy when other kids couldn’t keep up with me mentally (just study more). Turns out it was hEDS. It would have been nice to have figured that out 25 years earlier, the damn thing near ruined my life.
Container queries are a red herring here; they don’t change anything at all. The question being asked here is “why doesn’t it just use the image’s size?” and the real answer to that is that you don’t want to wait for the CSS to all be loaded before fetching any images at all—that’d be a pessimisation, not an optimisation. Hence the sizes attribute cares about viewport sizes, and always will do. Container queries will almost certainly never get involved in this, because, along with the rest of CSS, they’re evaluated after image loading begins.
This attitude results in the only possible answer being "leave it". Nobody has time to fix it in any nontrivial way who isn't being paid to do it, and if you're being paid, it's not volunteer work and you're supposed to pull your weight.

RedHat is not a volunteer project and it ate half of Linux. Volunteer projects in fact tend to be the more stable and polished parts of it.
