The 32-bit platform can do this same trick, so, your 64-bit pointers are still wider than theirs, and you didn't gain anything unless you also steal high bits.

This isn't quite entirely true, for them address space is very tight and so they daren't just align everything and risk wasting too much address space, whereas on a 64-bit platform you can afford to be very generous with address space. This is akin to how it's fine to have randomised privacy addressing in IPv6, but that'd be a problem in IPv4. But this gain is hard to give a specific value to, whereas the simple fact is that 64-bit pointers are exactly twice as big as 32-bit pointers.

This can give you the incentive to build a different data structure, it's surprising how often "Just use a vector" is correct these days, Chandler Carruth has talked about that at length (in C++). If you have at least some idea how many Foozles you need, and Foozles aren't some crazy multi-page data structure, chances are you should put all the Foozles in a vector, and not carry around actual pointers to Foozles at all.
Aside the fact you have linked to a declaration linked to political platform initiatives, one of the core serbian propaganda machinery during the 90's wars and breakup of Yugoslavia was denying identities and right for self-determinism across constitutive nations in said country. Prime example was (and is) throughout denial of montenegrin nationality and language, the other (among many) establishing a never in history existing one (not common base) language platform which would solidify serbian tendencies to tie-in languages and outside of its area, and thus people, into its own agenda. Our children, at least in Croatia, have trouble understanding a large volume of lexicography from swrbian language, and I am sure there's the opposite as well. Notable is the absence of Bulgarian in the story, which to a large extend is also understood by our yugoslavian-schooled peers, no different than macedonian or slovenian for that matter.

Any and all discussion around languages in these matters have started and stopped by politics and ultimately even supported by academia. Is there a common understanding and overlap between languages? Of course. Are there differences? Of course, and as time goes by they grow larger - new generations have no idea what the other one are talking about for a lot of even trivial examples. Whomevwr says differently either does not love in the region or lives in a bubble. Whether that's anecdotal or a docimented fact (exercise to a reader to find reactions in each country to said declaration that followed promplty lole fire from all levels from academia to politics in all countries) is a sideshow to the following: apart from yugoslavian period and a bit before there's no shared history (500+ years of ottoman empire does that to one part of the region whereas the other wasn't in it), there's no shared literature throughout history (since it's a wikipedia post, find history of croatian literature and then serbian), how come it's called serbo-croatian or croato-serbian excluding all other nationalities/countries (and how come it's only ex-yugoslavia centric?), and ultimately and the only unarguable reason relevant to the topic is that language is one of the key components to national identities which region has struggled (wars over) within recent decades - tha ultimate reason why this won't happen ever, as exemplified even by this small universe of replies within.. which was my whole point.
If you think that giving less money to struggling public services is a way to improve those services, then you are part of the problem. Political opportunists rely on that line of thinking to put public services into a death spiral, and their failure becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It's not unreasonable.

We don't want to fail kids consistently and put these huge marks in their psyche because they were not 'good at some thing'.

HS needs to teach the basics of course, beyond that it should be encouraged and supported.

My personal academic inclination didn't even start turning on seriously until I was very fortunate enough to get into a good Grad School and the fraternal competition sparked something I didn't know existed.

Kicking kids out of school permanently is the best way to make sure they end up on the streets, rugs, crimes gangs etc..

The funny part of 'On-Campus' suspension is that ... 'On-Campus' is the smartest thing in the article. Having to actually show up for school is much worse than not being in school! So that's a better 'punishment'. Maybe they should be required to read a book!

Guys like to focus on projects and applied things, I suggest 1/2 of high school past age 15 should be applied learning, projects. Literally anything that people engage with and learn from. And as a non-athlete, terrible at sports klutz, I would say 'gym class every day' would be ideal as well. 20% 'training' type stuff and the rest just fun sports.
Even for people who do have this goal ("helping those who need it most") in mind, this reasoning doesn't make any sense.

There's only so much resources you can invest into a single person. Their time is limited, so if their leaning rate is slow, there's really nothing else that can be done beyond some point to speed it up. Forrest Gump will never be Stephen Hawking.

The reality is that this equity movement is motivated specifically by pushing down high-performers. They're removing (or wasting) resources just so that they don't get to the top 10-30%.
> So what happens when you dumb down the only decent public high school for students to aim for?

Changing the admission criteria of a highschool is not akin to burning libraries.

> So what happens when you dumb down the only decent public high school for students to aim for?

Changing the admission criteria of a highschool is not the same as dumbing it down (whatever that is supposed to mean). In Europe children are not required to write essay or complete extracurricular activities to enroll in highschools or middleschools, and they are not generally dumber than the Americans.

> Add this together and you can see how pushing equitable results by attacking merit-based options only widens class and economic divides.

The admission criteria of a highschool do not necessarily reward merit. They are more likely to reward having been tutored on how to write highschool admission essays.

Northern Australia for about six weeks starting at the end of December 2019 was probably Covid.

I had many ancillary problems (digestive system with swallowing problems, skin rashes, angioedema, etc) and what I suspect was a mild cytokine-storm that was extremely unpleasant at the end of January. All told, about six weeks of strange and unusual symptoms.

Also, when I finally received the Covid jab, I had practically no reaction at all, which is what I would expect if I already had the Covid antibodies in my system.

Why would anyone ask students what their opinion on these matters are? The whole point of students is that they are still learning and studying. Should we ask a 2nd grader whether they should do their math homework or not?

This is using the easiest sample.

Here's another study. National, in the US, of fraternity and sorority members.[1] It's not primarily about censorship, more about Greek life and COVID issues.

If a controversy over offensive speech were to occur on your campus, would the administration be more likely to...

- Defend the speaker’s right to express his/her views: 23%
- Punish the speaker for making the statement: 38%
- Not sure: 39%

Have you personally ever felt that you could not express your opinion on a subject because of how students, a professor, or the administration would respond?

- Yes: 50%
- No: 42%
- Not sure: 9%

The sample self-identifies as 46% liberal, 33% conservative.

Results differ widely among universities. Not along obvious lines.

An argument in theory, but in practice it has no bearing on starting a business. You can complain all you want, but in my entire career you are the first. If I was doing business with you and you were wasting your time on this issue (as opposed to chatting on HN) (edit: or, goodness forbid, choosing a business location based on it), I would question your business sense. Surely there are a million things you could do with greater ROI.

In theory, a business receives very many services from government, such as entire systems of infrastructure (which itself is composed of systems of transport, energy, etc.) and law. The fees are a fantastic deal.
Hey mate for what it's worth and you might say not much and may be right, the argument I ear goes as follow: the trials showing the ineffectiveness of HCQ use protocols that are inconsistent with the protocols the advocate of HCQ propose.

To my understanding, the proponents tend to say that HCQ is effective when administered as soon as first symptoms (day 0 to 3 I believe). There are also dosage issues and combinations with other drugs, and they say that HCQ is ineffective administered late.

In the first paper you propose, patients treated are already hospitalized (day 14 or fewer still probably not day 0 to 3). The fourth paper states (when following the link the to protocol) that hospitalisation is a condition for eligibility. That's not first symptoms.

The third papers talks about "initiated medication a median of 5.9 days after symptom onset". So not 0 to 3 days?

The second paper you propose talks about administering HCQ as post-exposure prophylaxis. It seems outside of the scope to me.

There are other issues on this debate, dosage, drug combinations, I can't talk about that, this website does:

Yes, this is the key item. In vitro there has been some success but at dosage far higher (double digits) than what the safe dose is, and no in vivo trial has been done at those dosages (and likely never will due to the risks involved).
> Another way of putting this: we are paying the interest on their loans.

No. Most of the money (more than 90%) is issued by private banks, and most of that is for private companies. the taxpayers are paying interest on those loans.
It makes absolutely zero sense for Crucial to implement such a warranty restriction - This is already covered under the endurance portion of the warranty. Making a clause that ANY use of the SSD for mining automatically voids the warranty is like saying your car warranty is void if you use your car to get groceries.

Crucial quoted its own warranty falsely and then attempted to implement that change retroactively. That's certainly grounds for a class-action lawsuit. They were smart to back down from this.

Which assumption are you referring to? If it's about the states in a finite region, note that I specifically limited this to distinguishable states.

Whether or not a finite region can have an infinite number of states (countable or otherwise) is irrelevant; we can only distinguish finitely many in finite time. Two states being indistinguishable means they'll give rise to the same output behaviour (e.g. from a mathematician in a room, carrying out some procedure).

On the contrary, it makes one curious. Is it an attempt to ensnare the victim into heightened surveillance and suspicion (and hence higher likelihood of coming to harm) from governments, based on the assumption that their own malware uses these keywords to scan for targets? Or perhaps it creates some other kind of liability for the victim.
> It is heartbreaking when all a child has is public school.

All I had was public school in a small town and I was a National Merit Scholar. I don’t understand this line of reasoning that you need more teaching from parents or for profit tutoring etc. I got a great education at my public school.

Now are some schools not great? Yes. But a blanket statement that all public schools aren’t enough seems incorrect, in my experience.

Hey Peter,

I changed my employer last year while my spouses h4 visa was in process. Got to know last week that h4 visa was denied because it was referring to my old h1b which has become void due to switch.

Can you give some options to get uscisnprocess her visa soon. Is it possible to get other type of visas as we would like to start an online e commerce business.
One of my classes in high school used "competency quizzes":

I wonder how many of the commentators in here that mention any level of surprise have children. I suspect none.
I chuckled at "pupils from all backgrounds benefitting from each other". I grew up in a dirt poor family. Some of my classmates in high school were criminal material and many did end up in prison (for murder, not weed) before their 25th birthday. Some classmates were quiet folks with ADHD, some were punctual learners who really valued good marks. All sorts of backgrounds. The only "cross background" learning was bulling lessons that the future criminals were giving to the quiet folks. Teachers were useless and powerless to straighten up the bad apples. Luckily, I correctly guessed what I need to learn on my own to get "segregated away" from that madness, so my college years were decent. My takeaway from that experience was that the cross-background learning happens only when the backgrounds differ only slightly and have something in common.

Because it consumes resources that are needed elsewhere, such as for healthcare, education, etc. Because it centralizes power in politicians and in large corporations. Because it's not freedom.

I don't know, it could be written more verbosely, but then, this is just so idiomatic. Not sure writing it out makes it much more legible.

ETA: yes, your version reads really well. Question though: does it require an extra multiplication and addition for every "[i]" in the code below, or are compilers smart enough to optimise that these days? It seems to me that for sufficiently dumb compilers, your "nice" version would be slower.

For people not aware of the geography referenced here: Leander and The Woodlands are both affluent areas outside of the major cities referenced.

I would suggest that the students here are doing well due to a combo of the following factors:

Smart parents live here, and they have smart kids

Rich parents spend less time fretting about paying bills and more time helping kids with homework

One (rich) parent works, one stay-at-home parent takes care of the home -> more time with the kids

One parent is involved with the PTA, which correlates well with student success

And to he clear, I'm not casting judgment. I live in Frisco, Tx. We are enjoying ALL of the above benefits
"It worked for me, so it must be working for most others."
I'm with you on this. I've put a nontrivial amount of effort into commenting (including reading a lot of source material and watching video clips), and there has been some interesting discussion, but I'm not convinced it's been worth it.

My suggestion is to be more selective about sources, and perhaps to have an explicit policy. Individual papers tend not to be good sources, as people just use them as weapons to prop up their opinion. Mainstream media pieces aren't either, as they lack intellectual depth. I suggest blog posts by experts (David Gorski, Derek Lowe), pieces by top science journalists (Helen Branswell, Kai Kupferschmidt, Jon Cohen). Note I am not saying only mainstream views should be represented, quite the contrary. If and when Alina Chan posts something long form on lab leak (likely, as she's working on a book), that's a great candidate for spurring intellectually curious discussion.

The fundamental problem is that formal schooling is basically a waste of time for a reasonable fraction of the population.

It's still just as useful. The fact that's proven is what helps other proofs.

A computer assisted proof is just as correct or helpful, it just may be more complicated of a proof initially. Given time said proof can be simplified but having the proof in the first place allows you to move away from assumptions into proofs or alternatively even open new doors that weren't known to exist.

Keep in mind that these computer aided proofs are equivalent to pen and paper proofs but because you can rely on software to guarantee you haven't made any mistakes, you can make more complex proofs that still work.

It's the same as with programming. You can write overly complex and opaque proofs in the same way you can write bad, slow, or hard to read code. It still "works" but it's not ideal and is often a first revision in a series of steps towards the clean, fast, and easy to read final products.
