Exactly, and a carrier is just the air force of a small country. It absolutely makes sense that the aircrafts onboard can handle multiple roles. In the case of the carrier is just due to space constraints and not funding.

Ask HN: What activities have worked for you to manage stress?

At my company of thousands there used to me one right wing troll and one left wing troll. The right wing troll would piss everyone off in the #diversity channel, the left wing troll would insult the company and leadership along social justice lines.

The amount of oxygen these two took up on Slack was incredible. There would be threads hundreds of messages long arguing about politics, and every all hands had some sour, insulting question.

Both were eventually let go. But Slack really scales up rabble rousing, for good and ill.
As it failed to stop the Red Army's advance to and into Germany, that is beside the point here.

In fact, as Wikipedia puts it "The Battle of Kursk was the first time in the Second World War that a German strategic offensive was halted before it could break through enemy defences and penetrate to its strategic depths. Though the Red Army had succeeded in winter offensives previously, their counter-offensives after the German attack at Kursk were their first successful summer offensives of the war." [my emphasis] The sources given for these observations are not Soviet ones.

So the more you emphasize the role of the Luftwaffe at Kursk, the more you support my case!

That's a rough one. Mine was fixing some physics/flight aerodynamics software that had been generated by a Fortran-to-C compiler (e.g., http://www.netlib.org/f2c/). It was in inscrutable mess and couple-years-out-of-academic-physics-turned-SE me thought I'd be able to do it easily since I had so much Fortran and C experience. I failed quite hard at that.
Professional medical treatment is estimated to be the third leading cause of death in the US, behind heart disease and cancer. Johns Hopkins did a study on it.

250,000 people a year. Nearly 10% of all deaths. A 0.7% chance of dying (from a mistake) per hospital visit.

You know why it goes under the radar? Because there is no billing code for f-ups.

I realize of course this doesn't mean self-medication is safer; legitimate medical treatment might cause more deaths just because there is more of it.

"The researchers caution that most medical errors aren't due to inherently bad doctors, and that reporting these errors shouldn't be addressed by punishment or legal action. Rather, they say, most errors represent systemic problems, including poorly coordinated care, fragmented insurance networks, the absence or underuse of safety nets, and other protocols, in addition to unwarranted variation in physician practice patterns that lack accountability."
It wouldn't have to be. Finding a flat is extremely competitive in Berlin, so it's not uncommon for agencies and unscrupulous landlords to take advantage of "Auslanders" who might not be aware of rent control laws.

When the rents were temporarily lowered to the "fair rate" during corona, and everyone could see what they should be paying, this was eye-opening for a lot of my friends.
I suppose they would have to discriminate against deaf people in their search to hire an interpreter for their deaf employees or it’s interpreters all the way down.
The uncertainty principle is deeper than that. Not only is it impossible to perfectly measure both momentum and position, but they are not both simultaneously well-defined even in perfect conditions — the uncertainty in each is itself a real property.

I would also be somewhat surprised if the most detailed scan possible under QM is even necessary for a functionally-perfect copy of consciousness: The perceptron model used in artificial neural nets is a mere toy in comparison to a real neurone, yet very effective at duplicating interesting behaviours.

Former real estate investment professional here.

This is likely a bad deal for the German taxpayer and a great deal for the corporate landlords.

Essentially, the Berlin gov has given the corporate landlords a profitable exit for their investments. The corp landlords, seeing the writing on the wall and fearing lower rents, unrest among tenants, and diminishing exit opportunities via selling to the market (which wont want to deal with the risks) can now exit by selling to the government. The German / Berlin gov gets an investment that is all but guaranteed to be a loss assuming they drop the rents for the tenants. Thus, tax payer eats the loss.

I see something similar playing out in the US, and not just for corp landlords - it could happen to baby boomers looking to sell their homes upon retirement. During the last housing crisis in '08, Alan Greenspan and Warren Buffet suggested buying homes and destroying them, effectively lowering the housing supply in order keep prices at the same level in a market with lower demand [1].

Key takeaway from all this - governments and the folks that influence them (who also own and get their primary income from assets) wont let asset prices go down. They would rather destroy assets and lower supply to protect price levels. This dynamic teed-up a political war between those who own assets vs those who do not, young vs old, establishment vs anti-establishment, etc.

I feel for tenants - I am one myself. However, better to let the market to clear market inefficiencies.

How can you say for sure you are in the old body? After all, the new body is an indistinguishable copy of you, indeed the old body has now changed and is more different than the you at the time of cloning than the new one. “You are in the old body” might be the common sense answer, but short of invoking quantum woo there is no reason to believe it’s true.

Even the ancients struggled with the question “why does a soul stay connected to a particular body?” And they were playing on easy with their belief in the soul, this problem feels so much harder for the materialist.

Nothing wrong with this point of view, there are definitely times when I want to be out of the store as fast as humanly possible.

Couple of times I have been served by a deaf employee in my local Apple store, we typed sentences on the iPad. It was slower a bit but otherwise perfectly fine.

If this person wanted just money from social programs they would do that. But you could tell it was important for them to work, to communicate with other people, and have a sense of purpose. And it was my pleasure and privilege to participate in this, for these brief several minutes.

It might not have been the fastest way but it was definitely pleasant (2nd part of your criteria), for both of us.

My favorite thought experiment when it comes to consciousness is: if you could replace your brain’s cells, one at a time, with nanomachines that mimic the function of the original cell, at what point do you die?

Or do you stay conscious, and stay you, but with an artificial brain?

> Immigrants (like me in UK) should not have a right to vote until they get citizenship. This is the proof that you actually understand the country you live in.

This is how it is in the US. As a non-citizen immigrant I can understand this point of view. On the other hand, it's taxation without representation which is what Americans originally fought for.
Yeah. I was looking to rent a NYC luxury apartment recently and noticed that any reasonable deal gets snatched up very quickly. These apartment complexes do feel empty because the residents tend to be childless, so maybe that's where the confusion would come from. It's sad to see more and more people these days are in denial of basic economics. It's strictly better to rent an apartment out because otherwise you're getting nothing from paying management and taxes.

Agreed, donating money to social programs is helpful but isn't it much better to allow people to have a richer social life and to feel respected? It's not much more work to write on an ipad when asking a deaf employee and it allows him to have a much more fulfilling life.

Indeed they are measuring Effectiveness not Efficacy as they should. There I agree with you.

My point is they excluded 32% of their universe due to being immune compromised. If you look at the link, references and quotes I provided the way Effectiveness is defined compared to Efficacy is exactly by including everybody.

The second point of the study, that I interpret as showing a little lack of intellectual honesty, is that this exclusion provides for a higher effectiveness rate ( great for media quotes). Also as effectiveness is a measure that varies based on the time when you track it, they should have clarified that, and stated instead the vaccine was this effective from date so and so ( in this case March 11–August 15 )

What about I do a study like this: I let the immunity wane, measure effectiveness 1 year from now, then say Moderna or Pfizer vaccine effectiveness was 25%. In that case you can be sure everybody in the clinical expert group would be very
precise in defining when effectiveness is supposed to be measured... :-) As the industry does not an have a standard for that period of time this game gets played around and the subtleties get lost in most media reports.

And ultimately, where is the ethics of creating vaccine mandates that include everybody, as its being done in many
countries, at the recommendation of experts like the ones responsible for this study? Because some of these mandates put at peril some people, even mentioning risk of legally loosing their jobs, while excluding the immune compromised from vaccine studies?

Exclude them from vaccine studies? Then exclude them from the mandates.
Does WebAssembly even make sense as a standalone runtime, like the JVM? Is "server-side WebAssembly" going to be "a thing", or is it just a compatibility kludge?

And what of all these languages that compile to JS, like Typescript, Reason, Kotlin, et al? Is JS a sound "IR" between the frontend and WebAssembly? Or would it be better to compile things directly to WebAssembly?
Some of the same people upset about Texas' abortion law on "my body my choice" grounds were even more eager to talk about "idiots eating horse paste" have to be protected from themselves... and saw no dissonance, apparently.

I appreciate the historical context (that I don't have), and it is interesting.

But I disagree that you can make the clear line to the present day, or even 200 years ago. There were no regular mass protests against slavery "because it's obviously bad" in the U.S. that had to be violently suppressed, there were no regular mass protest in Nazi Germany against how Jews were treated even before the Holocaust "because it's obviously bad", there were no regular mass protests for women suffrage all around the world.

I doubt any Proud Boy will trace his heritage to Plato or their disagreement with them. The connotation you describe may all be historically accurate (I have no knowledge of that), but I argue that it was lost over the last few hundred years, and plays no role in the current discussion of human rights, women's right, etc. whatsoever.

Ask a (neo) nazi / slaveholder if they think that people of color, jews, etc. are inherently, biologically, inferior, and they will tell you yes. I will even make the claim that none of them has ever discussed "the right to vote restricted to forty-shilling freeholders (landowners with at least 40 shillings' annual rent) in 1430‽ Well, “elections had been crowded by persons of low estate“, of course.

Turns out that while the no cloning theorem does prohibit cloning, it does not prohibit perfect replication as long as the original is destroyed. This is the premise of quantum teleportation. Using some clever applications of entanglement it is possible to perfectly replicate the quantum state of a particle in a different location, it's just that the original particle is necessarily destroyed in the process.

So, in short the no cloning theorem does not prevent quantum teleportation.

In this sense, the follow-up in the paradox where you create 10 copies all of which are identical would not work. Quantum mechanics effectively ensures that there's ever only at most one of you.
That's what self-service stands are for. Let the little old ladies argue about coupons all day long, I can get in and out with my few items quicker.
> You raise property taxes to pay for it, you don’t cut anything.

But that's my point. Berlin is not raising taxes and there's absolutely no indication that they will change that. If they wanted to spend more money, they'd either have to raise taxes (not going to happen) or get even more subsidies from the other German states (unlikely, because they're already getting billions per year, and those who have to pay aren't too happy about Berlin's wastefulness).

> You build it in zoning that is designated for housing.

They don't have enough areas zoned for housing, and they aren't even issuing enough building permits for the required amount of apartments that need to be built right now. How would that be changed? Do we just clap twice and voila, government suddenly works efficiently and the red tape gets cut back to reasonable levels?

The problem is that people want more housing, but they don't want denser cities, they don't want construction sites, and they don't want parks and open spaces to be converted into housing zones. Especially in Berlin, people are extremely against new development, see Tempelhofer Feld.
Because housing isn’t completely in-fungible either. So, while there might be irregularities here and there, increasing supply will in fact put downward pressure on prices.
I looked at some of the new construction in Wroclaw (arguably not Cracow) and it seemed fine to me.

If I could sustain my work from abroad, I would be tempted to move to Wroclaw, actually. Unfortunately I need access to cheap shipping to Czechia, which means being in Czechia or at least going there pretty often.

Sweden had to play nice or risk being squashed like a bug. Pretty much the same Switzerland ended up doing.
Eh. Idk. I know sign language, I've worked with a lot of deaf people throughout my life, and have quite a few deaf friends.

I also worked a few years as a "sales associate" (retail guy) at RadioShack.

I don't think these two mix well in practice. People are moody, in a rush, and don't generally have accessibility or the needs of others in mind when going to a store.

Trying to communicate when you're also trying to convince someone to give you money is paramount. Any hiccups and both sides get frustrated which just sours the whole thing.

This is more of a reflection on people than it is retail, deafness, etc. It's a terrible reality but it's reality.

It's a really, really tricky, touchy and all around uncomfortable problem to solve.

The evidence is all circumstantial because it’s difficult to definitively prove someone owns a property with absolutely no intent to live in it or rent it.

Further, the properties held purely as assets are generally very expensive ones. The effect ripples down, well heeled people move into cheaper housing and those people moving in turn.

What if it was 30-50 minutes longer? 3-5 hours longer?

Yes, there are human beings on the other side of our daily transactions that should always be treated with respect. However, these are transactions, not social calls.

I live 10 minutes away from an Ace hardware, 20 minutes away from Home Depot. I almost always go to Ace and pay a few dollars more because when I walk in the door, somebody immediately asks me if they can help me find what I'm looking for. They walk me to the isle and spend a few minutes discussing the various options. If I had to communicate awkwardly through a tablet, I'd honestly just spend a few more minutes driving and save the money.

Sales is a communication-heavy job. It's pretty common already to offer extra pay for bilingual associates. I don't see what the difference is here; nobody would hire me for a job selling in Mandarin, even though I could run Google Translate on a tablet.
> Why not just hire the interpreter?

The interpreter has a job already - it’s to interpret. If they wanted to be an Apple specialist I think they would have applied for that job. Interpreting and doing the job of an Apple specialist are not the same thing. It’s possible the interpreter would be a terrible Apple specialist.

Why not just hire an interpreter? It’s a win-win-win: a deaf person had a job, an interpreter has a job, deaf customers are better served, hearing customers are better served.

And to top it all off Apple still makes a ton of money! What does an interpreter really in the grand scheme of things when you’re a trillion dollar company like Apple? What’s the cost of an interpreter really to them? I get this idea that corporations are profit maximizing entities, but we’ve really taken it a bit far when we can’t pay a little extra for common decency even when record profits are coming in. Like, maybe if times were tough we’d have a different conversation, but Apple isn’t exactly hurting for cash here. We’re not even asking for decency, just to follow the law. They’ll bend over backwards to help out a thug like Putin when his lawyers send a takedown demand, but to do a solid for their deaf customers and employees… well they can’t be bothered.
