In salty environments, exposure to the weather tends to allow rain to wash away salt. Semi- exposed areas tend to fair worse for corrosion due to the absence of scouring by rain.

A bit counter intuitive.

But that’s building by the sea. Salt can be deposited by mist and chloride ions are the nemesis of reinforced concrete.
Speaking as a biologist working in Australia:

1) Older collaborators with more power are being 'scared' of getting scooped when they post preprints. They're slowly coming around as the argument makes no real sense, preprint = published to the younger generation.

2) Funding bodies, i.e. the people who pay our bills and have all the power. The Australian Research Council, the biggest non-medical funding body here, does not allow mentions of preprints in grant applications. They give no reason for that rule.

3) Again, money. You want your research to go into the journal with the highest impact factor since that mostly decides whether you get to keep your job, get that new position, or get that grant. Some journals still don't allow preprints. You also get no feedback when a top journal rejects your paper, could the rejection be because others have seen your preprint, published papers built on top of the preprint, and now your paper submitted to the journal is not so novel any more? You have no way of telling.

4) Fear. Sometimes, after your paper has undergone peer review it's a little bit better. A few select people see the embarrassing errors in your paper and help you fix them before the paper is widely accessible. If you post a preprint the world sees your glaring errors.
Haha well yup.

I don't get it. Hours cut by 20% and no wage cut means 25% man-hour production gain for «success». Did they achieve this?

----

Okay, okay, I stand corrected, 10% hours cut requires only +11% to production to stay on par. Still quite much, but not impossible (I think).

The other part is - merging is software development, write a commit message better than "Merge branch 'foo' into main"

I agree with the spirit, but I'm afraid that on a twitch shooter they would fall back into inhuman advantage space, like with superior, perfect aiming.

The important thing to realize is that for Quake bots, being "good" was not always preferred. Some of the early generation bots (Reaper IIRC) were wicked good because they had perfect aim and could easily defeat a human without ever relying on strategy, which was rather poor at the time. They were ok as shooting targets if you tuned it down but terrible to practice real deathmatch.

It took a while for good boys (like Frogbot IIRC) to emerge and provide a good deathmatch experience. And still a lot of them had to rely on manually defined, strategic routes around a map.

I'd love to see bots generating navigation meshes and "juicy" routes on the fly, maybe after analyzing gameplay, but I think Quake bots never got to that point. It was a bit too early.
I've only met one person who wasen't for a four day 10 hr/day work week.

He was a Electrician acquaintance of my father.

He was beyond a odd duck. His idea of a fun weekend was painting his house. I'm not kidding.

I used to talk to my father a lot over a four day work week. His union almost got it, but they backed out at the last moment. I still think it was a payola thing from the contractors!

It just makes so much sence in certain fields.

Most of my work life has been construction in San Francisco. Just getting to, and back, from the job site is a hassle.

A four day work week would be grand.

Even though the work is back breaking, working ten, or eight hours did not affect productivity, or at least with me.

I would still be an union electrician making twice what I do now if they offered a four day work week.

(This mainly goes for union construction, and office jobs. Non-union jobs work their employees to hard. I don't know how most of those guys even last 8 hours. If you happen to read this, and are in construction try to get into a union. Just trust me.)

Not really off the top of my head, especially in North America.

I suspect you if you really go through (https://www.osha.gov/construction/engineering) you'll find some good examples of construction time problems. By it's nature, the vast majority of these are going to be "during construction time", so it'll be biased. They're also typically smaller scale operations... but that's also reflective of reality. Most construction is not the scale of 100+ unit condo buildings.

From my skimming through it there's a pretty even mix of:

a) Designer dominant (note there are a significant number of so called "design-build" entities present as well).

b) Construction/contractor supervisor/company dominant

c) Construction/contractor crew on the ground dominant

One of App Store review's uses is to block misuses of valid API

Some good examples are:

* Exorbitant subscription pricing (3-day free trial, then $20 per week)

* Misusing in-app purchase dialogues. There are some apps that dim the screen down to zero brightness when the in-app payment prompt pops up, and tells the user to rest their finger on the home button

* Ensuring data collection practices match the claimed data collection practices in the privacy policy / "nutrition label"

I don't know whether Apple is any good at enforcing those. We can only see the ones that slip through the cracks, and there are many. But not enforcing them hurts trust in the App Store and decreases revenue for all legitimate developers. I know two people who refuse to accept any free trials due to being burnt by subscription scams on iOS. And I personally have an app in the App Store with a free trial (no subscription, just a once-off lifetime purchase!) and constantly get one-star reviews claiming I run a subscription scam

Lack of enforcement of the above is directly hurting my revenue. So I worry that allowing side-loading opens up the above channels to all sorts of scammy behaviour, and that then reflects poorly on the official App Store (many users won't know the difference, doesn't matter how many dire warnings / official dialogs you pop up)
The problem of maximizing your self-interest in a market is general enough that finding a solution to it can require solving an NP-hard problem. This is actually true, real financial problems are NP-hard.

The market does not optimize for resource distribution, it optimizes for profit. It is tyrannical in that it removes your agency, as a member of the market you have no other choice but to optimize for profit in many important situations.

This is already dysfunctional enough to completely destroy a society, so we have to implement fictions like IP and regulations to tame the beast.

As far as central planning goes it's certainly possible to plan an economy while allowing people to choose their jobs and start small companies.

A sufficiently advanced AI would inevitably be more efficient, simply releasing all IP restrictions, all binning that is not necessary, ending all unproductive landlordism, and the compound growth from the lack of crises would do it.

Now you could be opposed to it from an ideological point of view, but no matter what you're misstating Hayek's point, as he contends that it is not, actually, possible to perform the economic calculation outside of markets, due to computing brain magic of humans only when they act that way.

Also, the mere principle that a market can run the economic calculations more efficiently than another computer is a violation of the Church-Turing hypothesis. There is no machine that we know of that can do any computation with better complexity than a Turing machine, save for quantum computing.

Now you’ve met 2! I hate working 8 hours a day. 0% chance I’ll ever work a schedule of 10-hour days.

Who downvotes this lol?
Hours were cut by 10%, four nine hour days, and "success" was productivity stayed the same or improved. I haven't seen the full study, but the article claims it succeeded.
One concern that I have is: what if her wallet has already been confiscated by the authorities? Then all the donations would directly go to the government, which is why it matters.
What brings you to Hacker News, if I may ask?
I'm not sure what would lead you to that conclusion. Starlink is another asymmetric service. This page[1] shows an average of 100 Mbit down and 16 up on Starlink. If they can get the upload slightly faster they would qualify for subsidies under the 100/20 definition but not under the 100/100 definition, which actually reinforces the article's point that we should not be investing public money in technologies that will not scale for future needs as I doubt Starlink will ever be able to achieve the 100+ megabit upload speeds that future businesses (and some consumers) will need. Don't get me wrong, I think Starlink is going to be an important technology for getting the most rural and hard to serve 1% of people acceptable internet service, and it will provide important competitive pressures on other ISPs, but it will never be a true substitute for fiber for the other 99% of the population.

Have you thought about doing this with bookmarks? I do exactly this that way and it's ...just great? You can nest folders within topics and while one's active you just click the star once to put the page in there. I think people usually admit their tab collecting is just a mental vicious-cycle, like hoarding, and I don't really see why reinforcing that behaviour with a 'better tab system' always wins out over simply.. using the well-designed system for doing what you're attempting - bookmarks. E: I should add when you come back to 'Grill research' you can click "open all" in that or one of the subfolders, so is that even slower than several dead tabs refreshing on view?
As I predicted, shoddy concrete work will be the root cause of this.

> four nine hour days

How many of you are salaried, yet your hours are tracked? My job is such that I roll in whenever I want, leave whenever I want. As long as I get my work done, nobody cares how long I actually work each day. A few decades ago, my first job out of college did track hours. That was pure hell.
The conclusion doesn't follow from the premises.

As for food being always produced in market economies, see the Bengal famine. Food wasn't destroyed in the Holodonor, it was simply redistributed. Similar famines happened under capitalism, all it takes is for a crop to come up first or for cash crops combined with the anarchy of production to lead to a crop that is beneath the requirements.

So no, similar famines did happen under capitalism, and your thesis is simply incorrect.

Markets can have latencies measuring in years or more, see the bullwhip effect. It's incorrect to say that they will be lo always have more processing power and less latency. They would if they were theoretically perfect, but markets are already at their limit and are not far away from the most primitive of planning.
> I'm suggesting we have 0 data

But you’d be wrong, because we now have some data. You can argue the quality of the data is insufficient to draw a conclusion, but it seems… extreme to argue that the data that was collected has 0 value.
Indeed. I'd like to think that with very good constraints on things like aiming and timing, you might be able to help foster creative 'gameplay' and discovery of things like map routes, map control etc.
Have you ever worked with customers? They will go way out of their way to let you know they’re unhappy.

The idea that literally no customers would give you negative feedback about being closed one day purely because they could not be bothered to call in another day simply does not pass the sniff test.
Are you saying you read that it didn't have a hidden layer?

My point is that having such a huge dataset would not be extremely useful without using a deep neural net (of at least one hidden layer)
This used to be believed by academic historians, until the opening of the Soviet Archives in 1992, and now the consensus is that it wasn't, it was just really bad data.

The statement that you cannot 'cure' T2 diabetes with weight loss is semantic sleight of hand. You can absolutely regain normal glycemic control by weight loss and exercise.

People diagnosed with T2 diabetes who lose weight and re-gain it will lose control of their blood glucose with the regained weight. For semantic reasons, this is called remission, not 'curative'.

Note this is also seen in people who lose weight via gastric bypass.

Note this does not apply to T1 or mixed T1, T2 diabetics.

You do need to enable VPN if you're off campus, yes, but that's it. It's super simple, you don't need to go though library's website or anything.

I use Google Scholar search exclusively to find papers and you can directly click the link to open the paper (and then download). Constantly copying pasting title, URL or DOI into sci-hub is actually a hassle in this respect when you're just browsing around (I guess there must be extensions or userscripts to make it better, though).
This again. It's about balance, people. It's not binary - complimentary unit and integration tests make for an excellent measure of confidence.

Do you think your comments making an uninformed amateur diagnosis of a serious mental illness, telling me that I'd do the species a favor by killing myself, and denying the veracity of my sexual assault claim are in any way helpful to me, or somehow going to motivate me to "seek help"?

You seem intent on continuing to attack me with your snarky follow-up. Listen carefully. Provide follow-up comments to my comments about the male on male sexual assault incident I disclosed here.
And this is the case for, what, maybe 0.1% of unit tests?

And you're using that... to justify that the "only" thing unit tests achieve is maintain bugs? Although in any case, this is no longer a bug, it's part of your spec now.

But regardless, what about the other 99%+ of unit tests that are enforcing correct behavior...?

Your argument is like saying that food is bad because people occasionally get food poisoning.
You can get pretty far with a compiler warning like "warn if a global isn't preceded by an 'extern' declaration". Also, LTO does have enough information to warn about these things, especially with default hidden visibility.
The issue always comes to assign a price in US dollars.

The government may pay people in other things that were the result of direct resource allocation, so you simply cannot put a price to it.

What is the cost of land that the government gives you? What is the cost of a lump of coal? Clearly this is a lot more than the simple capital cost used to extract it.

The long and short of it is, you're not getting a meaningful price is US dollars.

This is unfortunately very common. The building I live in is not that old (about 15 years. I moved in 10 years ago).

We have the original plans, which were somehow never registered with the city (which has been part of the permitting process for buildings of this size since long before it was built). The codes to the fire alarms were never registered with the fire department (also a requirement). A lot of extremely visible features, like stairways, are not up to code. Every time we fix, rebuild or renovate anything, we find the builders didn't just ignore the plans here and there: they may as well be plans for a different buildings. Nothing matches except the floor plan and the amount of units/stories.

Yet the permits are on file and were all signed on. Somehow when we try to get permits for anything, the processes are INCREDIBLY strict, stricter than in any other city I've lived by an order of magnitude. But somehow, for this building, there's very nearly more violations than there are things done kosher.

It's not an isolated incident either...that shit happens everywhere. Inspectors get paid, turn a blind eye, profit.

Being "molested" in a job interview AND believing Putin loving trolls are stalking you AND everything else taken together that you have said paints a picture of serious problem. It lies inside of you, at the very least due to your hypersensitivity leading you to contemplate suicide. Assuming everything you said is true, seek professional help. Learn some coping skills. Reportedly something like 1/5 women are subject to some form of sexual abuse at some point in their lives and yet 1/5 women do not attempt suicide. If somebody molested you at a job interview the place to deal with it is in a therapist's office and with HR/police not hackernews. Get a grip.
