> some teachers (maybe even the majority) do make carefully considered decisions

In the United States, teachers do not prescribe medications. They may make a recommendation that parents seek the guidance of a doctor, and a qualified medical professional (usually a psychiatrist) will diagnose the child, and the parent may choose to pursue medicating or not. In our case, we had regular checkup appointments with a psychiatrist where our daughter and us were present at the same time, and a later point in the session where the parents were asked to leave so the psychiatrist could speak with her privately.

> I distinctly remember overhearing a conversation where a teacher wanted to (in her words) "sedate" a problem child so that they don't disrupt the rest of the classroom.

Unless the laws have changed since then in Australia, Ritalin is a controlled substance, according to this, and it's not even guaranteed a general practitioner can prescribe it, and a psychiatrist is preferred.[1] Maybe you misheard, or maybe the teacher misunderstood what their capabilities were?

So you are going on and on about a hypothesis without any backing numbers, while completely ignoring provided evidence on how the unvaccinated is more likely to end up in ICUs?

Get off your high horse and do your fucking part. People are dying of Covid19, and a lot of people who survive end up with permanent disabilites, while you engage in mental gymnastics with your hypotheticals!

Intel's GVT-g, the equivalent feature on Intel GPUs, is not supported yet on the latest generations, last I checked. Plus Intel GPUs are quite underpowered and not really suitable for high-performance GPU computing and gaming and whatnot.

AMD GPUs are restricted (through VBIOS according to what I've heard) to prevent SR-IOV caps from being enabled. So you need to buy an actual enterprise GPU for that. Also… if you buy an enterprise GPU for this SR-IOV functionality and it's relatively new, good luck finding the drivers (and the card itself).

Anyway, my point is that I can't "just" buy a GPU from some manufacturer that doesn't restrict my usage of it, since a high-performance GPU with that ownership tag attached does not exist.
I worked as a camp counselor- that’s a very popular situation for parents to have kids go on a medication vacation. The stories I could tell. After whatever insanity we’d be trying to figure out what in the hell was going on with the kid. Too often when we dug in it was a medication vacation - many for serious but some for less so issues.

My takeaway - don’t just stop taking these even if you think it’s just for adults benefit - there has to be a way to come off them more slowly

In my personal experience, typical users (i.e. non-developers) don't really spend time tweaking their browser. The defaults are good enough for most, and the job of the developer is usually to just find good defaults to optimize for that. For the power user who knows XML/CSS/JS/C++/Rust/etc and wants to have total control, then yes, I would expect them to either create extensions or edit the source directly. Same thing goes for Chrome users of that type. Am I off base here?

It's true the build process is slow, but that's different from being difficult. I don't know what you mean by difficult. Maybe it was difficult in the past but it's entirely automated at this point. You can just start the build and come back some hours later, and that's only if you're starting from a clean repo and modifying the C++/Rust. For the CSS and Javascript, that doesn't need a rebuild at all.

> unvaccinated people are more contagious and carry higher viral loads

Unless they've already had covid of course. In which case the situation is flipped on its head. How many nurses do you think may have already encountered covid prior to vaccines even becoming available?
In a psych ED it was a lot more common to use 20mg ziprasidone and 2 mg lorazepam - "20 and 2" - for acutely agitated/psychotic patients. Before anyone passes judgement on doing that ask yourself if you've actually seen someone who is truly in psychosis or mania. I almost considered going into psychiatry because of how well antipsychotics and mood stabilizers work, particularly the monthly depot forms of antipsychotics, work and how they really do give patients their lives back.

I think psychiatrists have moved away from haloperidol and the internists or family doctors in nursing homes haven't caught up yet. Not that there's going to be much practical difference between Geodon and Haldol. Of course psych ED is a much different situation than on the floor of a nursing home where it might be more appropriate to use a low dose of Seroquel for delirious patients.

I don't know why the person that started this subthread thought the CEO was chosen by the investors.

Holmes founded the company beforehand, then people gave her money. As far as I know.

So it seems a bit off to frame it as though someone else founded the company and hired her.
A wonderful read. It was interesting to hear all the ways in which you were put to work. I hadn’t expected reaching NYC to be such an adventure, but have forgotten the zeitgeist of suspicion and uncertainty immediately after the attacks.

In regards to your closing lines, tragedies are uniquely able to harness people towards joint concentrated efforts. I have only ever volunteered for hurricane relief efforts, typically weeks after impact, but the power of a large group assembled to help is intense. If the need is acute enough, we rediscover how important community is and willingly sacrifice our individual selves to its survival.

The author has it backwards. The learning curve, or experience curve, is how manufacturing costs drop and reliability increase as production volume increases. The steeper the curve the better.

I have occasionally heard people get it backwards but I assume they are just copying the term without bothering to learn what it means.

And no, I'm not talking about abortion, but everything else on Earth that is considered a preventable death; like car accidents (Ban cars!) and wars that we conveniently forget when about the pendulum swings to our favored political party so we can safely and costlessly say that we've learned and grown and now we're better despite the hundreds of thousands of lives we've cost over the years because we just trusted the "thinking heads" and academics and the corporate elite and government officials in bed with them.

I've often been intrigued by cases where erroneous logic coincidentally leads to a correct conclusion. In philosophy, these are known as "Gettier Problems": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettier_problem

They are named after the American philosopher Edmund Gettier, who in 1963 published what is probably the most influential 3 page paper ever written by a philosopher: https://fitelson.org/proseminar/gettier.pdf

Searching once again to find the name for this phenomenon, I was surprised to see that Gettier himself was still alive until earlier this year. The submission is a summary of his career by one of his colleagues at UMass.
I think if you try to come up with a better notation for mathematics, you will see how hard it is and appreciate the one we have more :)

For example, the issues you list here, how would you solve them if you could rewrite the notation from scratch?
I used to do this on gmail too before swapping to my own domain. On gmail you can use + to create aliases on demands. If you username is Foo.Bar and you are signing up to example.com you can use the email address “Foo.Bar+exampleCom@gmail.com” and it will land in your inbox.

If a company leaks your email or stops respecting your choice about how they email you, you can just blackhole that username+aliases@gmail.com straight to trash.

If a service refuses to allow you to use + in your email address you can use the period “hack” (I call it a hack, cause iirc it was meant as impersonation protectionand not meant to be used this way). On gmail your username can basically have as many or as few periods in it as you like. So using the Foo.Bar@gmail example foobar@ f.oobar@ fo.obar@ Fooba.r@ etc etc etc all work. You will just have to keep track on which username&period combo you used on X service yourself.
Have they said this recently (i.e. do we know if that offer still exists?)

The latest from Tim Sweeney sounds like they're trying to get the account back for Mac OS, though they're not interested in iOS at this time. I assume that means they're willing to follow the rules by simply not publishing iOS apps (but that is an assumption)

This is my experience. I've witnessed a company migrate to MS Teams given that it was included in their existing subscription. That alone was enough to kick-off a migration from Slack.
The author is addressing the perception of Sparta as it exists in popular culture today. Which is to say - the perception that is fueled by movies like 300, and the military culture that adopted that perception to glorify itself by proxy. Because of that, the vast majority of people are not aware that Spartans were a tiny minority of the residents of Sparta (the state), or that most residents were slaves. If you do, great - but your assertion that the article "does not improve the reader's knowledge" is not grounded in reality.
I’ve recently been thinking about this as well.
Yay America?
It's weird. I lived in LA at the time and I was in my early 20s. I remember my gf waking me up at 6:30am to go look at the TV. It doesn't feel like an historical or far-away event to me. It seems like the most pivotal moment of my life, when this country changed and everything changed. We were worried about LA being attacked, worried about bio/chem attacks. Suddenly there were no-fly lists, and things called TSA and Homeland Security. Domestic mass surveillance really started then ... it's when all the methods from the drug wars were brought onto American soil. Suddenly there were truther conspiracy theories on a fairly new site called YouTube. Suddenly psychopaths on local Texas radio made their way into the national conversation. And a year or so later I found myself kettled by cops at a protest against our invasion of Iraq. I posted a novel on my website that got a lot of hits from military IP addresses in Virginia and Iraq. A neighbor told me the police were going through my trash while I was at work. My apartment got broken into and only a laptop and my papers stolen. I left the US and lived abroad for 10 years.

When I think of Americans who were alive then and younger, or who weren't born, looking at it as a historical event, it boggles my mind. Everything about this country has been deformed and twisted, every aspect of the society you live in from security theater at the airport to the militarization of local police, all that hardware, to the way the giant internet sites function now (or don't), to all the conspiracy-fueled madness that led to 1/6/21, which is the only other day that began to feel like 9/11. All of it started that day, it's the moment when we entered the wrong alternate universe.

One way of considering the things you describe in terms of probability is to frame them as bets, and then set the probabilities based on what bets you might make (e.g. what odds would you want in a bet on whether the sun would rise tomorrow). Personally I find that makes some of the more difficult statements a little more palatable.

> there's a 100% chance of risk with taking the vaccine ...

Probability doesn't work that way. That's like saying I should buy lottery tickets instead of index funds, because with lottery there's a 100% chance of getting a chance of getting the first prize.

Propaganda does not preclude very real variability over time. It's certainly quite true that, for a while now, we have been retreating from "peak free speech" in the Western world. This doesn't imply that said peak was perfect freedom - of course not! But the trend is towards less speech overall, and even more specifically, towards privatized censorship (so as to dodge legal constraints).
I think every sentence in this post is more or less wrong. Also, we do not want to introduce non-ascii glyphs into programming languages - APL is about the only time this has been tried and (merits of the language aside) it was hardly a success.
The manor difference is that you can find people to do the work. I stared at a cement pad for six months, waiting for a building to start going up. Then it was another four months for framing. You can't find anyone to do the work out here any more, they're all building new for CA expats. When I sold my house in th not h bay, it needed a new deck. $18k and a week later it was done and the house sold before there was a sign in the front. Over a year to get a fancy shed (that's how you classify it to avoid permits) and it's still not done. Trade-offs.

The way people are treated by the police is actually cruel. If you dug into it you would be ill.
I found it a bit easier to start with voxels:

> The wholesale undermining of the processes of government earned fines of $3.7 million, $550,000 and $150,000 for Fluent Inc., React2Media and Opt-Intelligence, respectively. There are also “comprehensive reforms” imposed on them, though it may be best not to expect much from those.

I would suggest that just about no individual is interested in millions of dollars of fines...

If I read this properly, it also doesn't prohibit the possibility of criminal charges in that case either.

That case also didn't exist at the time, so didn't exist as precedent for believe that you might get off "lightly".
The 2 beef analogs here in the us are much better. Both brown in the pan.

Of the 2 (Impossible and Beyond), the visual cooking profile is far better on Impossible. Their fake blood leads to the expected color change. Beyond starts out kind of brown, and its harder to tell when what stage of done-ness it is at.

Beyond feels more like meat, in terms of the fat. Impossible tends to stick because its not fatty enough, but Beyond feels like a "real" burger in that respect.

Of the 2, I like the taste of Impossible more. Seems much closer to real beef.
I have had this same experience of finally understanding a mathematical idea by seeing it implemented in a programming language. You can always eventually understand a program because there can't be any ambiguity or the compiler couldn't decide how to compile it. Math is not supposed to have ambiguity but it arises because there is too much convention and assumptions in the notation (granted sometimes they are saying something broader than can be expressed in code). But higher mathematics as a field seems to me to be like a programmer who uses single letter variables, never write comments and really like clever bitwise operators.

you're free to drive your car if you want too, but understand that by doing so you are taking a risk.

It's probably important that we think of everything we do in life primarily in terms of how risky it is.

But really, you think someone can't fuck up your car unless you give them permission to?

But yes, letting a stranger sleep in your car certainly could get weird, it's true. I'm sure most people reading this didn't realize that was a possible outcome so it's good you made sure to tell them twice just in case they were going to do so, because some readers might not realize that humans can do unkind things to each other, because some readers might be extraterrestrial visitors or recent immigrants from a fictional small island where everyone is nice, or something like that.
Do you really think it is insulting considering the pandemic response has been really bad. The extent to which the whole event is politicized which directly caused deaths of thousands of people every day is just mind baffling. The misinformation spread deliberately by the top leaders and their follower just to strengthen their power can hardly be called as "unintentional".
Most NFTs are meant to function like a certificate of ownership to some external thing. The proof of ownership is decentralized, even if the thing itself is not. And like any such certificate, it's only useful insofar as whoever actually controls the thing agrees your certificate is legit (or can be compelled to recognize it as such).

If there's an NFT that says you're the owner of a fancy bottle of wine stored in some wine vault somewhere, you'll never sniff that wine unless the proprietor of the vault agrees you own it and is willing to surrender it to you. If an NFT says you own 5 bushels of lettuce on a truck headed out of Walla Walla, you'll never see those bushels unless the trucking company agrees you own the lettuce and is willing to deliver it to your care. If an NFT says you own a hilarious GIF hosted somewhere on the Internet, you'll never gaze upon it unless that hosting service agrees to serve it to you.

If I scribbled on the back of a napkin that I was transferring my immortal soul to you, could you redeem that napkin for my soul? Would it make a difference if I put the deed on the blockchain? I would say the only differences between the napkin and the blockchain are 1) anyone can see it on the blockchain; 2) on the blockchain the deed can't be tampered with later; 3) the blockchain can include some programmatic constraints/triggers on the transaction (eg to make sure I can only sell my soul once, I can only sell my own soul, I'm now flagged as doomed to wander the earth in eternal torment, etc).

It was assumed that the universe would eventually stop contracting and end up in a "big crunch".

This is something I don’t understand. People have been having informal conversations with their friends, family and even colleagues over the phone for a hundred years.

I almost feel like it’s a generational thing. People who came of age before widespread text messaging spent countless hours chit-chatting with their friends on the phone. It might be that late Millenials and Gen Z are less suited to remote work compared to Xennials and Gen X.
I'll get a lot of flack for this, but I'll speak my mind as to what I think Mozilla needs to do going forward.. I think Mozilla needs to have a rock solid mission statement ("Our mission is to keep the web open blah blah no one controls it blah blah make technologies that make the world better blah blah open blah blah do no harm") and within that, get large corporate clients that foot the bill for legitimate development / tech transfer and solve real problems within the corporate world. The corporate world has protocol issues, privacy issues, ad nausea. Get business clients to pay for that. Within that framework, they can have working groups or community groups whatever that package the browser for Linux distros / Windowz / Mac and push it out. They can even have specialty versions that focus on privacy, media, vanilla versions, add-ons, whatever. When you go to firefox.com as a consumer you get the "corporate" or "vanilla" version. If you're a HN or tech crowd, you'll know where to find your version; whether that's privacy focused, add-on focused, or a specific build for specific operating system or mission.

I think core "user base" is a misnomer in Firefox.

My 2 cents. I know there's a ton to the browser world and my view is just a tiny part of the big picture.
There is a cost, clearly. Also what is benefit? Now the projects creator can't talk about it to his friends and family it's doomed to fail. lol.
Because that child with behavioral issues is sharing a classroom with 10 to 20 other children. It has never been fair to everyone else to put up with the issues on the one.

In more brutal prior days, they'd be expelled and become the parent's problem. Now, they get medicated into compliance. It isn't fair to anyone, neither that child nor the others, that they get streamed in with everyone and everyone has to figure out how to cope.

I don't know what the right answer is, but pretending there isn't a problem in the first place is definitely not the beginning of an answer.
Ask HN: Graduating CS soon, how do I find a job?
Like the title says I am graduating with a CS degree soon. As I am in my final year, I am getting a bit worried that my resume is kind of uninteresting.

I've applied at probably 3-4 dozen places through my school's job board over the past month and have received zero responses. These are applications for entry level and internship positions. I'm worried my resume just doesn't standout. I only have a couple projects under my belt and no other professional experience.

How can I stand out to recruiters and employers? What can I do to improve my resume? I've worked with many different technologies but I'm afraid because I haven't bothered to work on mastering any of them that an employer wouldn't wanna take the risk on me being able to learn their stack.
