“You” was exclusively plural (singular equivalent was “thou”), but its meaning shifted to be either singular or plural a few hundred years ago. So “are” was indeed a plural-only conjugation until that shift happened.

Now “you” is shifting again: in formal English it is still singular or plural, but in colloquial American English — at least where I’m from — it can only be singular. The plural form is “you guys” or “y’all”, depending on dialect. (The “guys” in this pronoun shouldn’t be confused with the noun “guys”, which is usually only used for boys and men; “you guys” is used to refer to groups of any gender).
The rebirth of Britain’s ‘lost’ languages (2018)
I’ve heard that Cambridge felt they were having problems with training up students with machine learning PhDs only for them to turn around and disappear into high-paying jobs in industry (rather than going on to the academic jobs the university thought they were training them for.) I think the university is putting some of their own funding into PhD (and undergraduate) students and so they felt like they were getting a poor deal and instituted some policies to try to reduce this from happening, and the opinion was that it was just terrible for the universities computer science department because good candidates would not subject themselves to the new conditions.

But that might just be outdated or inaccurate or totally wrong.
> But at a fundamental level, why do Discord and Clubhouse need to verify my identity?

For the same reason that Facebook required proof that you were a college student. A platform with a barrier to entry and a degree of exclusivity (but not too exclusive), will tend to have higher quality content and interactions than an anonymous forum that anybody (and anybot) can join.

Whether it's a good direction for the internet to be moving in, I have no idea. But it's certainly good business, which naturally makes me suspect it's the wrong trajectory.
lol. I used a Thermarest patch on my North Face down sleeping bag during a two-day backpacking trip—-very handy.
The language is named Go.
It's surprisingly common for PhD programs to restrict outside activities, although that's probably field dependent. Not the same as the OPs story but I know multiple neuroscience programs where if you are receiving any funding from the University you are barred from working other jobs. There were always a couple students that snuck around and bartended on the side anyway, but it was crazy to me they had to actively hide this from the school - and not even just their PIs but also random program admins. I never understood why programs think they should be able to control students outside of working hours, but it doesn't stop most people. One of these programs gets over 500 applications a year for ~20 spots.
> the British countryside has some of the poorest areas in western Europe

All rich countries have impovrished areas that have been left behind.

> It is amazing to see how Brits outside of (hell, even in) London live,

The same can be said for California, New York, Florida, Dublin, Paris, Barcelona, etc.
Yes, although in the case of singular they, its usage goes back to Chaucer, so it’s more established than most practices in modern English.
Web founder Berners-Lee to auction source code as NFT
I believe the EU would be better off if it just deleted its technology funding apparatus and tried to rebuild something like DARPA, while focusing on procurement like the poster suggested.

There is a huge amount of money available, but it's locked behind layers and layers of bureaucracy. It is a huge waste of time on both sides, for some anecdotal I'm procrastinating from an application as I type. I should be coding or doing something otherwise useful.

The situation has devolved to where startups treat public funding as though it were revenue and have dedicated teams to chase it.

The Economist had an article here a few days ago lamenting that Europe fails to produce IPOs, which is where the actual problem lies. If ExpectedValue[European Startup] = ExpectedValue[Startup] | No IPO, then it's no wonder European startups are valued at 10% of their US counterparts.

The EU needs to get out of the way and end its Lots of Little Winners policy, because without winners you just wind up with Lots of Little Losers in a globalised economy.

Because not everything is about money and business. The EU while far from perfect does try and look out for, respect, and care for its people. Both at an EU wide level, and at individual country levels. GDPR and this are both attempts to provide more protection to individuals. Not necessarily to build homegrown alternatives. The problem isn't the specific company, but how companies in this sector act.
That's a bad failure for sure but it's a very different kind. Checking for counterfeit parts is a supply chain issue, you know what you're looking for (the original part is very well described) and you check for specific markers.

Design flaws are different. You can fail using an original part because you picked the wrong one for the job. Validating something for (long term) use is far trickier than checking an already validated part for a set of markers. The higher the stakes, the better the checks should be. An airplane should get better validation than a portable blood pressure monitor.

Imagine something more relatable: picking the perfect person for the job is far harder than verifying that the person you chose is the one coming into the office each day.

The problem is that the EU invests. Small businesses are taxed to death and swamped with bureaucracy. From that you can clearly see where this is going.

Remarkable is really a device for people who explicitly don't want those features. They're betting hard that the market exists, although it probably isn't as large as the market for an as-powerful-as-possible general-purpose computing device.

I've seen it mentioned that someone got an USB keyboard working, and the device is pretty hackable overall (you can SSH to root over wifi out of the box!), but I think if you want to connect an external keyboard then it probably isn't for you anyway. You can't even type text in documents.

Disclaimer: reMarkable 2 user, pretty happy with their focus, but I wish the device was more responsive in some scenarios (complicated drawings are very slow) and there's certainly many missing core drawing/writing/reading features.

I love eink devices but got turned off by the first couple of generations because they always underdelivered with PDF display, which seemed like a central use case to me. I should be able to open a random graphics-heavy PDF and have it display perfectly (ignoring color) and in a reasonable amount of time for an eink device to be worth it to me.

This has made me want to revisit them but I don't think I'd want to purchase one without being able to stress test in person.
My old narrow tires would tend to collect cuts in the tread, sidewall cuts, and other damage. After a thousand miles or so, I’d tend to be able to see the cords in some of the cuts, and I’d occasionally dig bits of glass or stone out of the rubber.

I just don’t see the same sort of damage after 3500 miles on a pair of 650x42 tires. I’m not generally riding over needles or goat heads, and I avoid broken glass as much as possible.
This is the critical question and the answer is no, as far as I'm aware. Like many such suggestions it's "A great tool for telling you things you already know" as my professor used to say. Physics should be judged on its predictive power.
Was hoping the point would be that science today at the most fundamental level is descriptive, not explanatory, and being humble and honest about our failure to be explanatory would make people more interested and less intimated.

For example, there are four fundamental forces and a table of fundamental particles. Why? Don't know, we just noticed them.

All of chemistry seems to be determined by properties and interactions of electrons, which also determines biology. Where do these electrons come from? Don't know, just there.

The gravitational constant pops up in bunch of equations. So does the speed of light. Why do they have their specific values? Why is there even a speed limit in the universe (which expanding space violates)? Don't know, we just noticed it.

Bill Ackman runs a hedge fund and was a guest on CNBC right at the beginning of the US getting hit with the pandemic proclaiming travel industry going to go downhill while having made bets on that happening. [0] For those outside the US, CNBC is a business/financial/stock market news channel.

> “America will end as we know it. I’m sorry to say so, unless we take this option,” he told CNBC on March 18, five days before ending his bet against the market. “We need to shut it down now. ... This is the only answer.”

He then made $2B a week later. I would assume most guests on that network are there to make statements to try and sway the market in some way to their favor. You just don't know if they are long or short on whatever they are talking about so without those disclosures.

If you think more online based news is better like Motley Fool. They are also registered as a Hedge Fund with the SEC [1]. I can't see/find what their specific holdings are on the SEC site but isn't that a conflict of interest to publish "news" or investment information and manage over $100M?

Ask HN: How did an adult ADHD diagnosis help you?
My therapist wants to explore an ADHD diagnosis, run tests and dive deep. My question to you is; how did this help you or impact your life?

I am in the later half of an adventurous and successful career. I continue to grow, have a long-term stable marriage, good savings, great life. I went to my therapist to handle a lingering family issue and now we've come up to the ADHD talk.

They want to run neurological tests, said I'm 'twice exceptional' and I see this as an expensive and time consuming diversion of my goals. I do admit that there is some validity in the idea, I do see symptoms, but how would this help me at this point in my life?
I’m pretty sure EDRs play a role in the professional protection of 100k+ IP.

At home, OS and software updates combined with network monitoring should be sufficient for the more common threat models.

One needs to draw a line somewhere.

EDRs are complex and often fail to protect business systems when professionally managed. I do not believe it's worth wasting time on that at home.
What's said in private is a classic "they said, I said". It's not a legal danger. This article implies the danger is legal liability, which wouldn't explain so little willing to voice their views in private.

That's a lot of information you posted here. You say it's well supported by several studies. Would you mind sharing some?
According to your own source the term is disputed -- a substantial amount of the article is dedicated to the dispute.
SIP are not new, those previous systems you mentioned are a form of them, many shared hardware address space across all processes and relied on the programming language being safe for isolation but they where built in a time when running untrusted code was not really thought about, it was more about not crashing the whole system by accident.

SIP are a form of multiprocess designed for safety and stability reducing exploits and potentially scaling across clusters. Singularity and Midori heavily relied on message passing for IPC which would have allowed cluster scale out.

These where research projects there was plenty the security work available some of it I linked. Much of the work revolved around verifiability of the code to guarantee no cross process breakout without hardware checks.

How do you assert hardware checks can withstand a black hat attack? They obviously haven't been lately.

You have companies that specialise in creating "start ups" that get tax payer funding, ride the money wave out and then close. Usually they put homeless people in suits to act as CEOs. One business folds, they create another one. Then governments complain the public purse is shrinking and there is no economic growth.
"punch-resistant interior walls"
This one is always so funny to me. Coming from the EU, I don't even have a "punch the wall" reflex baked into me, at all. Punch the screen, throw my phone, sure, even though I don't do it.

From a former line of work, many US friends used to punch their walls from time to time. None of my EU friends ever even tried or came close to.

"Would you say that you are free to express your opinion in public or do you have to be careful with certain or many topics?" („Würden Sie sagen, man kann seine Meinung in der Öffentlichkeit frei äußern oder muss man bei einigen oder vielen Themen vorsichtig sein?“)

As a German, I believe that I am free to express my opinion, nevertheless I would say that there are obviously many topics of discussion where one has to be careful just because there is lots of potential to be misunderstood.

People say this on HN all the time, but from my experience doing watching real users, it’s not true for most people on most websites. If we believe the information is useful, we’ll stay, regardless of how (un)appealing we find the design.

In my experience, most people interpret minimalist websites as being run by small, poor companies. Thus, a flashy website is the equivalent of renting a Ferrari to drive to an interview. It fools a lot of people - even some of us technical folk more often than we realise.
Almost anybody in a position to develop something worthwhile from their research wasn't paying tuition and was probably getting a stipend.

You could say the same about all the downsides and risks involved. Maybe some people don't want to risk CTE ? Maybe some people don't want to mess up their joints for the rest of their life ? Professional sports is about extremes and this myth about healthy lifestyle is there to promote amateur sports. In that context it makes sense to ban steroids because you don't really want to promote steroids to teens. And in contact sports I think the ability to inflict damage is increased disproportionately so more injuries. But they still get used all over the place.

I've been on medication for about a week now and I've not thought about offing myself once since starting.

It really looks like my depression might be rooted in undiagnosed ADHD.

Sweating a bunch, especially at night. Then again we are just about cruising into summer and in my old place I had aircon so that might be unrelated, but it is a possible side effect.
