Surprised to see an entire article about Ising model problems without any mention of the machines designed to solve them!

This is exactly the kind of problems that the D-Wave quantum computers are designed to run, and in fact simulations of physical systems are one place where we've been able to demonstrate solid progress, e.g. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/361/6398/162 and several other papers.

I'd highly encourage anyone interested in the Ising Hamiltonian and its uses for optimization problems to check out what we're doing and sign up for D-Wave Leap at www.dwavesys.com - we have demos, an in-browser IDE, Jupyter notebooks, a comprehensive Python SDK with excellent docs, and we'll give you free QPU time to run your problems in realtime on a quantum annealer.
>> We badly need legislation to force the IRS to send every taxpayer a bill which they can pay.

> The truth is the IRS bill would be wrong and the IRS would have countless challenges and no practical ability to review any in-house type of challenge and all cases would needlessly result in court.

That's not how it would work. The IRS wouldn't send you a bill: it'd sent you an offer in the form of a pre-filled tax return. You accept the offer or you submit your own tax return.
which is pretty cool, I think it's a vital need for humans to keep learning new stuff if you don't have enough stimulation

A shoulder dislocation, and shoulder surgery, immediately preceding the pandemic, plus the pandemic itself, took BJJ away from me and I am miserable without it.

I miss rolling. I miss the art. I miss getting destroyed by upper belts who could seemingly read my mind, and yet were doing everything I could, just way better.

Does it stand to reason that the average person needs to actually file taxes if the government knows the information necessary to calculate a tax refund or bill anyway?
On the web site of things, it is faster than Rails, Django, Laravel, Express and even Spring, and this is with Plug and Ecto. https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/. That seems to be very good performance to me.
Have you tried something like a greenscreen background? I've done a little with turntables and ran into exactly the problem you're alluding to. Would chroma-keying the background out, to get rid of it entirely, help?
> Rust codifies and enforces that discipline

I completely disagree with that. There's no discipline required to slap "unsafe" around a block of code. The discipline must be applied to the block of code itself, there is no way to enforce that. If 30% of dependencies have unsafe code in them, how would I know that the unsafe parts aren't just as sloppily written as the average C code?

Rust has yet to prove itself as a language that actually delivers on its promise of being safer than C, in practice. To that end, we must compare C written with security in mind to Rust written with security in mind. Given that Rust is a rather complex language that encourages abstraction, I'm quite hesitant to drink the cool-aid right away.
Perhaps also to enable the French to read and understand it? You wouldn’t want them just reading the gripes (which are short and simple) and then not reading the responses.
Swept under the rug as well is the Luftwaffe secret training facilities in the Soviet Union (in circumvention if the Treaty of Versailles) and among other things the Soviet invasion of Poland 2 weeks after the Nazis.

The Soviet Union paid a very high price, but their hands were not clean.
This has to happen, I think it's almost impossible to have such a huge event without having any case.
Fwiw it can compete in a lot of areas to a lot of languages. It doesn't represent a need to replace, say NodeJS or Python with Rust, because those languages don't typically have safety issues. However Rust offers low-level benefits with many high-level abstractions. It has lower level features, like generics, so the toolbag is definitely big - but that doesn't mean you always have to use the huge toolbag.

I switched from Go because i wanted more language features. Rust isn't a competitor to Go imo, but indirectly it was for me. I never use C, and while i could use C++, i ultimately wanted a good dev UX. I chose Rust for my developer experience, not because it was a "better C/C++", of which i don't need.
From the top of the post: "We need to curb abuses that threaten our ability to provide these services."

Google has lawyers to minimize its legal liability. Turning some vapid terms of service clause into a slippery slope argument for the onrush of totalitarianism is taking things too far.
This is an amazing comment
The funny thing about all this, is that back in college, the CS program included a semester on Ethics. Using computers to prevaricate or otherwise exaggerate one's accomplishments was one of the first trivial examples of maluse of computational resources.

Seems like that's one of the first uses a non-trivial demographic of users go for.
I think it’s time we start updating 6 figure threshold as 200k not 100k.
I would assume that control preferences form a distribution, mine one among many.
And ones that are solely or mostly classroom courses can even be taken by people who majored in the field undergrad. I know someone who did one years ago at a top school. Which surprised me a bit at the time because, although I did have classes in my Master's program, the real value was in my thesis, some additional related research, and an unrelated project.
Yet if you look at all the cases of actual election fraud and voter fraud, they (almost?) exclusively fall on the side pushing voter ID the hardest.

That's great to hear! I get the same feeling towards the Clojure community as well, some of the friendliest, smartest and most helpful people hanging out at the Clojure watering holes (in comparison to other languages I've worked with). I also am constantly in awe of the output of the Clojure world. There are like 3 or 4 great podcasts going, so many cool projects being worked on, especially for a community which seems to be sadly so small.
Not bad for a 1943 field guide.

1. It’s a quick read.

2. It has a clear list of dos and donts.

3. It explains what the soldier’s mission there is in a broad sense (defeat Hitler).

4. It has quite a bit of quick-and-dirty info like language basics and a map (I’m guessing more than a few folks stationed there would not be able to find Iraq on a world map before they went — that’s true today for sure).

Not a bad effort.
Actually, it is more like: not allowing regular people to be shafted by the American pharma system.
I think it's never a waste to get more education. But getting an advanced degree from a mediocre school for the sake of career advancement probably doesn't worth it.

A few exceptions:

1) You want to learn something but doesn't want to go through the 90-credit undergraduate. In my university they give you access to a CS graduate diploma that consists of 10 core CS courses under the requirement that you already have an undergraduate degree (non-CS) and pass the entry CS course about programming (usually a Java 101 course). IMO it's a LOT better than a 90-credit second undergraduate degree on CS.

The other exception is that you want to do the research but I'd argue it still doesn't worth it unless it's a prestigious school like top 20 in North America (MIT, Stanford, CMU, Waterloo, those top schools).

This seems like another case of American exceptionalism. Countless countries around the world do this, they do it by having employers report income when they pay people. I’m in the UK and other than a short period of being self-employed I’ve never had to fill in a tax return, I just get the amount I should deducted from payroll each month and get on with my life. Occasionally I’ll change jobs which causes my tax code to move and I get a cheque in the mail from HMRC for the amount I overpaid.
Heh, I often put white belts and blue belts in unfamiliar dilemmas. There is a lot that goes into weight distribution. They say each belt adds 10 lbs. I am of course not very good relative to most black belts, but I’m starting to challenge them in some spots. I am also relatively large so I follow a catch and release philosophy. I don’t too pressure smaller guys and I often concede positions etc. it’s like, I know I can hit escapes at the right places, why not let everyone work and have fun instead of just smash. That’s a good lesson about strong guys though. I train with some MMA guys that are huge and you learn who you have to move around. Some guys you just can’t move. I don’t care about winning or losing anymore. Some times I give away too much and get tapped. And that’s fine :)
Oh please. Those are incredibly narrowly defined. Our republic won’t fall because some drug company can’t lie about a product they are selling.

Yeah, it’s massively different.

I pay my taxes too. But hiring more audit agents will have them finding work to do. An audit for me, even though I’ve kept good records and everything is on the up and up, is a lot of time and money and I want to avoid.

If you are a VP associated with a company with a well-known brand, first and foremost, don't do anything that could hurt the brand. I suspect a world where someone makes posts like his (despite it displaying flaws) has less anti-Semitism than one without, because those very flaws are trail markers that show a real path to others who are at earlier stages in the trail. But those same flaws to our tweet-sized attention span seem to have to imprimatur of Google, and that's why he had to go.

I know a couple people who didn't get anxiety issues until they started smoking. I think there's a portion of the population (not necessarily you) who feel they need it when the anxiety is actually just a weed hangover.

It definitely hits different people differently. My wife doesn't get high. I've seen her smoke good weed and she didn't change in demeanor at all and claimed it didn't do anything.

Personally all it makes me do is think about how shitty my life is for hours (hint: my life is fine..it's just the weed) although some indica stuff will make me giggle for an hour before I pass out. I'm worse than useless when high.

There's a huge range in response.
> A quality tax preparer is no more than "a few hundred bucks".

I do not want to continue to contribute to the tax preparation ecosystem any more than absolutely necessary. Paying a CPA to file my taxes is no different than paying intuit for a new copy of turbotax every year. I don't see a distinction in principle. They probably use the same software internally.
I think a lot of linguistic terms were stolen and repurposed as a way to lend credence and legitimacy to racist ideology. The same is true of the term “Aryan” which originally referred to people who spoke Indo-European languages:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan_race

From the wikipedia article, the gentleman who first used the term “Aryan race” (in the context of language, not ethnicity) later said:

> These two sciences, the Science of Language and the Science of Man, cannot, at least for the present, be kept too much asunder; [...] I must repeat, what I have said many times before, it would be as wrong to speak of Aryan blood as of dolichocephalic grammar.

I imagine if you're from India and you really want to get out of India - this sounds like a good deal (although wouldn't $50k for tuition be hard to get?) But, I'm assuming most people just want to have more money / a better life?

Wouldn't the first option be better? And then you could stay closer to friends and family.
I understand GP's point, education can vary widely depending on the country.

For example, in my home country an undergraduate degree in engineering is normally 5 years where

- first 2 years are very standard undergraduate courses (your lower division)

- last 3rd and 4th years are the upper division you describe

- 5th year is a graduation
project that can be 50 to 100 pages long (almost a thesis) + upper division courses and maybe a research paper (depends if you had a scholarship of sorts)

So when a person goes to do a master in this country, the experience is almost one of a PhD, while the PhD experience is very intense.

The questions in the chapter entitled "the French and the Germans" paint a picture that despite defeating the Nazis and witnessing their atrocities, many American servicemen harbored deeper sympathies to German culture than to French, and this pamphlet was intended in part to fix that. Examples of questions in that section:

"The French aren't our kind of people . The Germans are"

"The French are not as clean as the Germans"

"The Germans are easier to get along with than the French, because the Germans are law abiding"

This is reminder that despite the US being at war with the Nazis in WWII, the heinous beliefs behind the Nazi agenda had a lot of resonance in many other countries, including the United States. In fact, in recent years, it's become better understood how Nazism was inspired in part by the Jim Crow laws and culture in the US.

You are starting with the goal of recreating windows source and will produce a ton of it, rather than using the tool for another purpose and accidentally obtaining a small amount copyrighted code. The starting intentions are obviously different.
I disagree.

Firstly, the question needs to be narrowed down. The topic of a master's degree in Europe vs in the UK and in the US varies, hugely:
1) The UK and the US have a great focus on the elitism of the university name. Countries like Germany do not, a masters from a (known) university with good grades, is pretty much as valuable as all the others.
2) Fees in Europe its free (as has been mentioned countless times here) so there's less of a "shopping" market here, in terms of looking for the most elite degree to graduate with, and much more about content
3) It depends on what you want to do as a career. In Europe, scientific and engineering fields do look for postgraduate degrees as a minimum. Companies like Amazon, hire data scientists mostly with PhDs in Germany or on exception, highly talented engineers.

But the main "pro masters" degree argument for me, is the learning experience.

My master's studies, was so intense, so stressful and so unbelievably intellectually rewarding that it shaped me and my character in a way that my bachelor's did not come close to.

It gave me that confidence to approach fields and advanced topics, where I am not familiar with the notation, the terminology and don't know where to start, and it taught me how to dive in deep, in a self-motivated and self organised way. I really felt the whole time like an independent researcher, picking up books where I needed to, learning mathematical tools and programming skills I never thought of using to solve new problems. And participating in the latest SOTA research, in a way that has made me quite intellectually fearless now, going forward in my career.
The IRS has traditionally not audited high net worth individuals proportionally to all taxpayers due to a lack of resources. This hiring is to support auditing those taxpayers (based on news reports and administration communication).

Social security was a good thing, and it happened. Medicare was a good thing and it happened. Even Obamacare had lots of good things, and it happened. So did the child tax credit. And the endangered species act. The establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency. Our air, btw, has a lot less smog and small particles than it did in the 80s.

Cynicism like you expressed may earn likes in some contexts, but it isn't accurate, and it isn't helpful.
I think it's less about being factually wrong, and more about leading people to factually wrong conclusions with truthful statements.

Even just saying "X sells stock Y before event Z" imples that X knew about event Z and that it would affect the stock price of Y. People will read headlines like this and walk away assuming there was insider trading, but that may not be the case. Nothing in that example headline has to be false in order for it to spread falsehoods.

In some places it's faster than a car, due to 1) the sheer volume of cars meaning that any driver will be stuck in traffic and 2) it being way easier to find parking for a bicycle than a car. I live in a city where this is often true.

That said, maybe the appeal that's remained since has been relatively stable overall, but locally it varies a lot depending on the cycling infrastructure that's available. More people ride when they feel safe doing so.

I feel you. I’ve only been back on the mats for a few months. Don’t discount drilling and instructionals. I felt really sorry for myself for a while and then just started hitting instructional with all my learning skills and creating drills for myself, doing other drills I found. After being back on the mats, it took a couple months, but all that work really paid off. It was like I was a different player of the game once my cardio got where it needed to be and I refined the smaller details of what I had been working on over the pandemic. But man was it hard, working that way for 6+ months with no clear indication of when there would be Jiu Jitsu again. I am 41… I only invert for very specific guard retention scenarios.
