Usually Apple has been able to keep internal politics within the company - here's a few highlights from the article.

> In a new letter, some Apple employees are asking that the company allow staffers to work from home full time, with some restrictions. Apple has only agreed to let employees work from home two days a week, with limited exceptions.

> This is the second petition letter in two months from Apple employees writing about more flexible working conditions, and it’s a sign of continued rank-and-file dissent at the company.

> In June, Apple CEO Tim Cook sent a memo saying that employees needed to return to the office at least three days a week beginning in September.

> From the letter & petition: “We continue to be concerned that this one-size-fits-all solution is causing many of our colleagues to question their future at Apple,” the letter states... it is too early to force those with concerns to come back to the office.

Ok - please forgive/correct/help me out here if I’ve got the sticky end of the stick, but both the premise and conclusion, very clumsily put, seem to me to be: ‘formal or classical systems of logic are more limited/not as rigorous/less useful/less challenging than some people believe them to be, especially when applied to
Aristotelean/Thomist philosophy/conceptions, because of their ‘merely’ relational syntax/nature and because they cannot adequately express/encapsulate concepts/‘things’ that the author holds to be true or self-evident features of his perceived reality/received wisdom/everyday utility/a priori metaphysics. The author concedes its usefulness in certain contexts: particularly when combined/in conjunction with his favoured philosophical ideas, or used in support of them, but that it does not present a challenge/undermine the author’s ideas/beliefs in ways that presumably some prior/present critics might suggest.’
That is a fair point but, anecdotally, I have run into this problem more often with XML APIs than with JSON.

One idea I've been using recently is to start writing unit tests around a piece of code or functionality as I'm trying to use it. That technique narrows the scope to a single thing, and I'm forced to be explicit about what I expect. That and reading the source code are my gotos.

> I suppose the question doesn’t mention that volume 1 is on the left and volume 2 is on the right but I guess that would be assumed by any speakers of left to right languages.

The answer is supposed to be 4mm; the only way for that to work if volume 1 is on the left is for the bookworm to gnaw its way out of the book from v.1.p.1, cross the outside of the two books without gnawing anything until it reaches the back cover of volume 2, and then gnaw its way through that cover to reach the final page of volume 2.

I don't think that's what the question has in mind. The point of being a bookworm is that you don't leave the book. So the answer would appear to require that volume 2 is shelved in front of volume 1. I don't know why that would be the case.

"Naming and shaming" comes with risk - probably a lot more risk than upside. The risk is that the parties get something actionable, kind of like "probable cause" in criminal cases. The upside is maybe a small effect on a few HN minds that might remember this when considering this Uni's reputation.

The other risk is that it's an act that can easily be abused. It is very easy to level charges against someone without proof; somehow we tend to believe the first salvo (myself included). In this case it sounds relatively straight-forward, but it really is irresponsible to take a stranger's word for it.

So, if you really care, you might reach out to the OP and get the details. That eliminates the downside risk to the OP and acts as a shibboleth that ensure only people that actually care enough to look into it know the details.

I can point to legal experts who have a different conclusion.[1] Your linked experts are not inherently more right than mine.

Would you acknowledge that there is something more incendiary about a member of the German Parliament denying the Holocaust in an official Parliamentary speech compared to a foreign national denying the Armenian genocide in Switzerland where the Armenian population is estimated to be 3k-6k? That is the primary conclusion of the ECHR. There is no justification for extrapolating that out to the idea that every instance of denying the Holocaust is worse than any instance of denying the Armenian Genocide which appears to be your conclusion.

There is no such thing as correct use of language. That being said, you should spell proper names as they are registered. It's iPhone, not Iphone.

Language convention is to spell the name as the company as it is registered. You wouldn't change someone's last name because it didn't follow some other, slightly related convention...

The sad part is that no one seems to care. Rather, they will be cheered on by their supporters.
You are absolutely right.

Furthermore, universities tend to require tons of publications to promote you. Things are spinning out of control. I know a few EU countries where the written norm is to need > 100 publications to qualify for a full professorship, with equally ridiculous requirements for associate and assistant positions.

Obviously, this encourages and rewards completely broken practices. Many associate and full professors in my area only care about stamping their names into as many journal articles as humanly possible. Some of them are already beyond 500, with many of these in top tier journals (Nature, Science, Cell, NEJM). Obviously, they hardly ever contribute anything. Their serfs do all the work. Their job is basically to plot in order to stay on top of their neofeudal shire.

In addition to this, funding bodies do nothing after fraud has been proven. ERC only terminates grants on rare occasions. https://forbetterscience.com/ discusses many cases of serial fraudsters who keep getting funded despite having retracted 10 or 15 articles in major journals.

The "what-have-you" in this case is the stronghold that capitalism and tragedy-of-the-commons has on urban society and our way of life. Of course, capitalism could produce such neigborhoods, at least on a small scale, simply because affluent folks will pay for it. But the ethos of solarpunk is to create these environments by taking matters into our own hands. Perhaps a decent analogy from the punk world is magazines versus fanzines.
The point with this question is that if volume 1 is on the left and volume 2 is on the right, the first page of volume 1 is facing right and the last page of volume 2 is facing left, so the only thing between them is the two covers. Hence, the answer is 4 mm.

> What Sonia did to Narasimha Rao was enough for me, to judge what her character or lack of it is.

Rao is one of the greatest prime ministers India has produced. He provided political cover to the liberalization policies that ended the Licence Raj in India (often attributed to Manmohan Singh alone). And this while running a minority government.

A brilliant man who was treated very badly by the Gandhis as well as the Congress party.
> How would a worm eat perpendicular to the pages and go from the first page of volume 1 to the last page of volume 2?

Sorry, what is the question supposed to be? You're positing a contradiction between two facts:

- The worm's path is perpendicular to the pages.

- The worm's path begins at the first page of volume 1, and ends at the final page of volume 2.

What's the contradiction?

On a related subject, here is a recent experience and I dont know how to deal with it.

I have been helping my kids with their homework during the pandemic, I thought it would be easy since I got very good grade 25+ years ago. And then when I sat down doing it. I couldn't remember a thing. Not a single thing. All of a sudden, apart from basic algebra, all of the maths were gone. Zip, Zero. I couldn't remember how sin cos tan works any more. It was like a few years of memory in my brain went missing. For some people it may be funny and have a laugh about it. For me it was shocking, quite horrifying and depressing.

I am thinking if I should relearn all those maths again. If so how do you go about it? Most of my friends aren't any good at maths so they thought not remembering any thing was not a problem.

But for some strange reason all the basic for Physics, Chemistry and Biology were still there. At least half of it. It was just maths. I dont know if anyone else have similar experience.
I think Let’s Encrypt is great, but it is worth noting that other ACME providers do exist, for example, ZeroSSL. Worth noting since it seems like LE is quickly becoming a gigantic SPOF for the internet!
Not enough people realize that science and academia are just as prone to organizational politics and corruption as everything else.

I actually dislike HTML per se, but the only two benefits I see for PDFs in the general case are:

- In my experience, it's a little harder and rarer to make PDFs utterly incompatible with different means of viewing them, and it generally requires more overt (if perhaps slightly unintentional, at times) sadism to make that happen.

- PDFs can do some things HTML can't (easily, at least) with document design -- though those things are generally things that would be disallowed in our new "deurbanized" PDF-based web replacement.

Everything else that comes to mind goes the other way, including the fact that the viewing-mechanism incompatibility thing can be even worse with PDFs, even if it's more rare for that to happen at present, and if PDFs became the new standard for the web I'm pretty sure that relative rarity would evaporate anyway. Let's also not forget that HTML can also do some things PDFs can't (as easily, at least) do.
Yep. AA is effectively a cult, and while itself is not a profit-making venture, is pretty tightly entwined with halfway housing and rehab programs, which are a massive racket in themselves (offering little actual treatment and costing a ton), but which also have become a significant cog in the prison industrial complex machine.

A typical cycle looks like: person from lower class, dysfunctional family potentially already with drug issues, lack of educational opportunities or decent jobs leads to drug dealing, drug abuse develops concurrently, eventually leads to jail, which leads to rehab and/or halfway housing, which does not help the disease nor the person's socioeconomic situation, which leads to more drug abuse and crime, leading to more jail or prison now, and so on it repeats...
This is incorrect. You seem to be making the same error as the author says the editors made in the footnote at the bottom.

If volume 1 is on the left, and the worm goes from page 1 of volume 1 to the last page of volume 2, it travels 4mm in a straight line.

Page 1 of volume 1 and the last page of volume 2 will be right next to each other, if volume 1 is on the left.

Feedback on initial workflow:

1. Used sign in with Google

2. Immediately presented with calendar read/write permissions, declined.

3. Went back and signed up via email.

4. Was told that an org already exists but no details (did I make it earlier? Can’t tell.)

5. Told 13 days of trial remaining (was an org created yesterday or does it just round down to 13 as soon as one second has passed?)

6. Only one active user, me.

7. Create workspace is grayed out and can’t see how to actually create any content in the app (does it need calendars connected first?)

It’s promising in concept. Posting this in hopes it’ll help, not just to complain. I’ll ask for a trial reset in a few days, assuming I really was the first user to create our org so have that ability.

> A brick weighs one pound and half the brick. How many pounds does the brick weigh?

I am a native english speaker and am having a hard time parsing this one. The only sane interpretation I can think of is that one pound + half the brick = the whole brick.

EDIT: I think the reason it is so confusing to me is because "and half the brick" sounds like (the start of) an independent thought. "A brick weighs one pound and half the brick was painted yellow".

This version is much clearer, IMO: "A brick weighs one pound plus half a brick". Maybe there is a fear that wording the problems too clearly makes the solution obvious.
Question driven development is a great name for it.
Its only going to get worse imo. India is an economic hole - much of it of our own doing - that is going to be very hard to get out of. Poorer governments tend to be desperate and authoritarian.

That's not the problem. We shit on the US all day every day. There's also not a problem with this. The problem is that when we're talking about someone else it's being used as a defense. Honestly it doesn't even matter if the US is doing the same thing. If something is wrong it is wrong, no matter who does it. Responding to "China is hacking the US" with "But the US hacks China" doesn't accomplish anything except create arguments nor is it logically consistent because both can be bad. The "but they did it" implies the action is not bad in the first place and that a double standard is an excuse. The problem is that there is not a double standard. People are also critical of the US's use of hacking both nationally and globally. So if you're concerned with the US hacking people it is logically obvious that you'd also be concerned with China (or anyone else!) hacking people.

I'm tired of this argument because it just serves the propagandists. It eliminates a real conversation happening because we can't even start one because we don't even agree on a basic premise of that things can be judged independently. Comparisons can be great, but independent judgement/criticism is also necessary.

Best,
This line always perplexed me as a kid.

I got (still get) stuck on the overlap between moving, and steering. Moving like a fish seems to include sinuous paths, schooling with sudden acceleration and darts to the side, etc... nimbleness and speed.

I understood it was a proxy for "accelerates like/is as fast as" but found that unsatisfying.

Also, cow works to evoke large, stubborn perhaps, unresponsive... but was an odd choice in as much as few try to steer cows. Shepherd, maybe. A water buffalo or ox or even mule felt like a missed opportunity, since they are prototypically steered and there is a sense of their owners/drivers laboring against their desire to not labor...
