Fabrication is perhaps too strong a term, but the separation between history and myth has not always been that strong. For example it was common (and accepted) to write stuff in some famous person's name.

I don't think it makes the content itself any worse, but it's difficult to know what was really historical.

I don't formally study this, but such problems become quite apparent when I try to e.g. find out historical sources for some philosophical statements or anecdotes. Probably not that different from how people attribute all sorts of "smart stuff" to Einstein.

Edit: by "scholastic fabrication" I mean that scholastics spent a lot of time "interpreting" especially Aristotle (and tried to make it compatible with the Bible). I'm guessing a lot of what we think is "greek philosophy" may be from these interpretations.

Ask HN: Why Not LeetCat?
It’s obvious we’ve entered gatekeeping territory with Leetcode. I’m so so on it, but I think we should just standardize it via a standard test that can capture general iq (ala the SATs). We have it for everything else like mcat/lsat/gmat, so we should follow suit.

I think this is the way to go because every company can determine their cut off. Google might want the perfect score, but many are fine with students in B- range. The C students will get good feedback on how to get to a B.

> How do we, as a society, start accepting rational self-criticism again?

You might want to start with taking critique from the people you deem to be "triggered" seriously. That would be a first step in rational self-criticism. Otherwise you're selling a gut reaction as rationality to yourself. This is a common mistake people make. You might end up disagreeing with their critique - that may well be - but even then in most cases you'll likely take something from it, might be able to understand the topic at hand with some further nuance or get a deeper understanding of your position and its merits.
That's kind of what I thought.

It does. One goes through a separate, advanced degree, pool for the h1b lottery. If one is not selected on that pool, then one enters the regular one.

Also, a STEM masters allows one to do three years of OPT, which is basically a work permit.

A masters was a great choice for me. I did my engineering undergrad abroad, got a very good education for not much money. Doing a masters in the US allowed me to specialize and enter the US market.

Comparatively, the price of a technical masters in the US was on part with that of an MBA on my country of origin. After crunching the numbers, it was an easy decision.

I am happy with the education I got, and the opportunities it opened for me.
It's honestly not taboo anymore. Multiple history books have breached the subject, and we can now say that while they were rape from US soldiers, the sentiments were inflated because the liberation let a lot of locals distraught, angry an hungry. Also US military had a bad reputation for multiple other reasons (some racism maybe, but also the bombing and the fact that they sort of replaced the germans as an occupation forces (it was temporary however). When looking for stories about US rapes, historian saw that the sotries were extremely localized (None came from brittany, although this was one of the first liberated area and also a poor one).

Also, US soldier were rude, assertive and agressive towards women, and this was caused by racism and too much ego (French woman image from back home and stories from WW1, and their own self-inflated image)
So does the USA, but the USA isn't an arab country either.
Well said. Yes, the Raspberry Pi family has its foibles, but let's not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. (My main beef: the techbro "let's change your configuration behind your back" shenanigans with the Microsoft repository, but that's a software thing.) They've been upfront about their educational mission since day one, and it's just a bonus that it took off with hobbyists. On the other hand, the widespread hobbyist adoption is undoubtedly a big factor in its success.

If nothing else, it gave ARM board makers a boot in the behind and got them to build boards that don't cost an arm and a leg. We wouldn't have sub-$100 Jetson Nanos if the Pi hadn't blazed a trail.

Plasma does support Wayland and has for some time. Some distros are even considering defaulting to Wayland now. There have been substantial improvements to Wayland support in the last few months making it an acceptable daily driver, at least for me with 1 HDPI screen.

Simple Ways to Be Less Divisive
What an idiot.

Free to have an opinion (even a overtly racist one) but not free from the consequences.

It seems to me that there is some base level of education you need to be in technology. My belief has always been that education helps eliminate racism. I think I need to let go of that belief.
While I partially agree, it certainly seems very tone deaf on the VPs part. A 10k word post and two hour readout on YouTube? Citing specific Jewish people he thinks are good? Really? It seems like there's something bordering on unhinged in that behavior.
sometimes groups of people are just nasty, bad people worthy of mocking and ridicule. You can't always pretend that situations are around reasonable differences of opinion with each side being honest actors. Each situation is going to be different. the english/french situation may be one way and the progressive/conservative situation may be different.
my understanding is that the word trigger is used in psychology to describe a wide range of traumatic responses. e.g whenever a war veteran suffering from ptsd hears firework it may trigger a strong traumatic response. //victims of abuse can get "triggered" by the presence or even mention of their abuser etc

it applies to a wide range of traumas and responses some of which might be more or less extreme, so it does include some small things: if you ever get a minor burn, the idea of touching a potentially hot surface might make you somewhat uncomfortable - you could call that a triggering experience even though it's not nearly as intense as the other examples.

Triggering experiences are generally considered to reinforce trauma and generate unncessary distress and should therefore be avoided

And so we use trigger warning before movies etc to warn users of potentially upsetting/triggering content such as war, torture, sexual violence and various forms of abuse, it's really not that big of a deal

I had a teammate state that Gates at the beginning of functions were also spaghetti code. E.g: If <condition>: return.

My teammate had learned that rule. from his CS teacher.

I use Gates regularly as they reduce the need for indentation which I believe is a much bigger spaghetti problem. Nothing worse than debugging 7 levels deep of indentation on a function with many pages of code. I also use Goto if the language supports them and it makes the code easier to grok.

But hey, I'm self taught with no College CS degree so what do I know ;)

Bitcoin proponents argue that bitcoin is deflationary based on a misinterpretation of the Quantity Theory of Money. At any rate, QTM is a theory of money, and as such it only applies to money. It doesn't apply to random assets, such as bitcoin. And, no, the fact that bitcoin has been declared "legal tender" in this or that country doesn't mean bitcoin is money in the context of QTM.

What's the copyright situation of this book?

Say I want to restore it, clean it up, and publish a nice epub (using as source the PDF already linked in a comment here). Is it copyright infringement, or is its copyright expired now?

"112 gripes" was published in 1945, thus sites like https://www.biblio.com/blog/2010/07/how-to-determine-if-a-bo... suggest it's expired . But also, it was republished in the US in 2004 (ISBN 1-4191-6512-7). Does this make it "freshly-re-copyrighted until 2004 + 70 years?", or is the year that counts for copyright the original publishing date?

(More general question: how can I check if a book is still copyrighted? Webpages like the one I linked above aren't very precise and leave room for interpretation; is there something easier / more canonical to use?)

France and the United States could not be more alike in national spirit (as elusive a concept as that is). Born of a similar era in revolution with practically the same slogans. Their constitutions paraphrase each other. Both deem themselves the birthplace of the modern republic and democracy, perhaps modern civilization itself.

3. The west should really pay attention. The same propaganda techniques Arab governments have been using for decades to demonize Jews is being used on social media, talk radio, and the news.

4. Unfortunately, this firing feeds into the long held conspiracies that Jews are infinitely powerful and any criticism of them will get you silenced. Might there be other reasons he was let go. There is subtext in the article that points to it. But the narrative is he was fired for holding anti-Semitic views.

There's a lot of people dismmising this study. But I don't think people realise how much history and scholarship is going into this. I am not a cancer biologist, so neither do I. But I can provide a little bit of insight so that people at least know what they are trying to reject.

The data for this study comes from the GLOBOCAN database, which seems to be an aggregator of cancer data [0]. This database must be massive in it's scale. The abstract states an estimated 750,000 cases attributable to alcohol consumption. That's a lot of people. But the actual data they are using contains several million participants at a minimum! You can take a look at some of the numbers here [1]. "19.3 million cases and 10 million cancer deaths in 2020" are huge numbers, even if they are staying with just 2020 registered cancer cases. How do they get these numbers? It looks like they have aggregated together cancer registries from multiple countries. Some of these will be super accurate (e.g Nordic countries, New Zealand etc) and some more sparse and less complete.

The estimates of cancer risk come from about the most authoritative scholary source possible today: "World Cancer Research Fund International’s Continuous Update Project" which appears to be a kind of set of mega systematic reviews on the links between diet/nutrition/exerice on cancer risk. This project has massive amounts of scholarship, data, and experience behind it [2].

You may think the paper is still crap. But maybe think for a moment before rejecting it out of hand. This isn't a single biased study of 30 white college students at Harvard. This is a model based on data from whole nation's cancer registries combined with parameters estimated from the best, hopefully least biased, human trial studies we can manage with the resources available to us.

That is a extreme minority of cases. And btw, if you actually use your batteries in a structural way, its not even clear that hydrogen cars will be so much lighter and longer range.

There are very, very few cases where BEV will not work. BEV is also much, much, cheaper to operate, so even if its not optimal BEV will still be used over FCV.

In those few remote location that you mention (likely a lot less then 1% of the market), gasoline will simply be used. The investment in hydrogen for such a minimal case makes no sense.
