The thing is that I don't know which one filters out :/ (I'm pretty sure it's not just FAANG and I know in some country they completely ignore anyone that doesn't have a university degree). But anyway I do feel that my CS education right now (just a few courses into a graduate diploma) ONLY serves as some push for me to complete my study.

I'm interested into CS but not that interested to devour everything on my own, so taking some courses is helpful on that perspective.
My comment was a generalization of climate change articles in general, figure it out and stop being pedantic.
Playing a devil’s advocate here. Inuit have one of the highest suicide rates in the world, and alcoholism is a problem in Inuit communities. There may be of course many factors causing this. But could it be possible the venting your anger out keeps you from alcoholism and suicide in the long run?
On (1a) I’m sure the vaccine argument will rile folks up but here we are in 2021, with half of the population fully vaccinated, and cases and deaths are at similar or greater levels as they were for most of 2020.
This is a good article and aligns well with empirical results from polarized training plans. But focusing on VO2 Max as a single metric isn't necessarily a good approach. Race directors don't give out prizes for the highest VO2 Max and it's only a mediocre predictor of finishing times. A lot of athletes benefit more from training to hold a higher percentage of VO2 Max for a longer period.
There are also some asinine divisions w.r.t. what goes in Premium vs. Ultimate.

For example, Premium allows us to configure our CI system to ingest Coverity scans, but only Ultimate lets us actually view them in the GUI. What the hell, guys?

We're not paying for Ultimate, though, unless they give us a sweetheart deal in perpetuity, but it's still kind of ridiculous.

That said, they do tend to trickle features down, moving them from higher tiers to lower tiers, or lower tiers to the free tier, so maybe in a few versions we'll get that support for no extra cost.

Tesla doesn’t have to be the one that makes the cheap car (even though indications are that they will, at least for the Asian markets) — making electric cars that are cool and capable and prove that it can be done it still immensely valuable.

And there are plenty of electric cars in the same rough segment as the Model 3 — but not many much cheaper. Which should probably tell you something about how easy/feasible it is. Tesla nor anyone else has a magic wand here.
Are they new hires? Is everyone has 0 connection inside?
That's not how natural disasters work. It's a complex system that interacts with a bunch of other stuff. It's like asking which pregnancies were caused by a lack of sex education. There's too many variables to label specific ones caused by climate change, but you can observe an increase.
WOW, such an interesting article to read especially for the car lovers like me.
For me it's not an economic thing, it's that the metric units aren't that useful for everyday things. Sure, converting between them is easy, but there aren't centimeter sized things, meter sized things that I use every day. There are a bunch of things in integral sizes of inches and feet, though. And 1 cup is a lot easier measurement for cooking than 235 mL. The SI units are arbitrary divisions of arbitrary quantities (size of the earth, etc.) There's nothing that makes them inherently better, just that they are computationally easier. Since science uses quantities with no connection to everyday sizes, this is an advantage, but it's not an advantage for daily life.

That said, I assume this is just the UK wanting to distance itself from Europe. Basically a continuation of the impulse that lead to Brexit.

A pandemic is not a black swan. Just like Earth quakes are not black swans. There is a Center for Disease Control for fighting pandemics.

We built fragile but efficient (for profit optimization) systems that had a good run. People plan for and about pandemics or at least pretended to, when needed grants.

edit: Black Swans are very very low probable events. Pandemics have been around in human history enough times.

FP with typesafe concurrency hasn't really happened on the frontend yet in meaningful way.

And I wouldn't frame it as Rust succeeding where FP failed, but instead a way to sneak in FP into the frontend in a way that gets really angry at you when you try to structure your code as mutable and imperative. Yes, most of the frontend languages let you opt in to constness and compile time typesafety, but Rust makes you opt out. It's soft developer thing, but it seems to have benefits to code quality from my experience.
This is an article in The Independent, my once beloved paper which is now simply a vehicle to twist any given news item to fit its relentless and tiresome Brexit = Bad narrative. We get it, Indy, but you're not achieving anything.

This is simply the government changing the law to allow anyone who may be so inclined to sell in Imperial to do so without threat of the law. That's it.

This isn't Brexit Britain taking back up the Old Ways and rescinding metric, of course not. Most people my generation and older have barely the vaguest handle on how imperial units work anyway (beyond weed deals in my twenties...). Metric's going nowhere.
Hi, go-app’s creator here.

AIUI, GPS doesnt penetrate very far below the ocean surface. It would be interesting to know what alternatives they are planning for navigation.
hmmm. Everything has a trade-off, including of risk. I think your blanket statement against geoengineering has got to be wrong.

Geoengineering is a broad category, and it'd probably be better if we split it into specific strategies.

Why are olivine beaches at least as likely to make the problem worse?

Why is injecting Sulfur dioxide in the upper atmosphere at least as likely to make the problem worse?

Why are shade satellites at least as likely to make the problem worse?

Are the risks associated with these strategies really worse than 2.7+ C of global warming?

There's lying, delusion, denial, opportunism occuring in vast abundance. I commonly see a large amount of living in denial, living in delusion, about it, even among people that (supposedly) fully buy in to the worst climate change scenarios.

See: The Obamas buying an $11 million ocean-side property. They either don't believe any of it, or they don't care how bad that looks. Similar to rich climate change evangelicals flying around on private jets all the time. Are they rationalizing? Are they pathological liars? Are they in denial? Standard hypocrites?

Or see: Chuck Schumer & Co. pushing the fraud that we have to act immediately on their proposed green agenda to save the US from climate change. It's all bunk, they're lying very belligerently. The US isn't an isolated magic realm, climate change is overwhelmingly global. There's nothing they have proposed that will matter stacked next to China's rapid emissions expansion. They conveniently ignore that of course, they go out of their way to not talk about that aspect, and then lie and claim their plans can rescue the US from global climate change.

With most people you can't have a rational discussion about any of this. For the same reason you can't have rational discussions about Covid. Out of control emotion, irrationality and propaganda rule the day.

The opposite happened in some Southern California areas. Some popular restaurant streets were closed to car traffic, and the restaurants added outdoor eating spaces. This happened in Santa Barbara and Ventura. It looks like the areas are at least considering keeping that change even post covid.

Anyone living near those areas had an improved walkable neighborhood.

Also I don’t think anyone living near a park lost use of those parks.
Except there are so many commercial vehicles on the road that actually require substantial size (package delivery, carpenters, etc.), not to mention all the 18-wheel trucks.

Given that situation, it makes sense that families would want larger (safer) vehicles.

I just thought: if fusion makes heavier elements, it makes sense that the universe expands faster... And I don't even know how I got there...

fusion makes elements heavier.

Heavier collections of elements make more gravity.

(is the creation of matter limited in our universe?)
In bucket with limited supply of new matter, through fusion the existing matter makes clumps which get heavier and heavier. But the substrate will thin everywhere else.

Supermassive black holes make more gravity.

The more compression there is, the more heat is generated,

And matter switches state at some point. (solid -> gaseous -> plasma -> another step -> another step?)

If the matter "becomes" dark energy as a new sort of state, it could get "flung" out like two electrons with the same poles.

Since Energy doesn't get lost, there's no other way than to "collect" at the fringes of the universe

If the universe was like a baloon in the universe it would push the boundaries of the bucket indefinitely.

Gravity is kinda like our substrate, not sure if fish are aware about their water being "heavier or less heavy", not sure if this analogy will ever hold up...

can someone let me know if I got some of it right?
That works too. Pretty much the same result. More people are just familiar with HTML/JS I’d wager.

That's hinted in the article:

Regardless, the article shows the ideal result. Colonization or not, it's impossible for one person to reach the ideal, let alone an entire tribe.

Early in the pandemic there was a massive potato surplus. Potato farms in my state were literally giving away potatoes.

To me however the ORM is one of the most annoying things. Not a fan of ORMs in general, but Django's implementation promotes a usage pattern where django-models are passed around everywhere, leading to hard to untangle dependencies between services once they do literally anything with the objects.

The disservice is the causal inference that global warming is behind all the recent natural disasters. The sentence I quoted could be better written as:

> Many scientists believe that with a warming climate, certain natural disasters, such as floods, heatwaves and wildfires will become more frequent as well as severe. Scientists also say the world has warmed by about 1.1C which they believe has already begun to increase the frequency and severity of natural disasters and, as climate change continues to warm the plant, anticipate further increases in the frequency and severity of these disasters.

Or whatever. I'm not a climate scientist. The point is, nobody can say for certain that the current set of natural disasters is climate change, or sheer luck. That's not a political statement, that's a scientific statement of fact. Science cannot change the facts to suit it's disposition, regardless of its good intentions.

Those types of videos still tick the box of "relevant" to current recommendation algorithms though. I sort of mean that algorithms won't branch into unfamiliar territory. So, as an example, I've never looked up "underwater basket weaving"[1] or getting into to. So from the algorithm's perspective, there is an element of uncertainty with recommending it, because it doesn't know if I'll like it, be ambivalent, or strongly dislike it. Then, it compares that rating to other content on the platform, like your reaction videos, and even though they may be disliked, if they are favorable to others in your focus group, they'd still have a higher rating than uncertainty.

The issue is that we don't really have a good method for measuring uncertain interests and since most algorithms have an underlining "make the company money", we don't get anything beyond the same ol' same ol' recommendations.

[1] Underwater Basket Weaving is a placeholder for anything - yoga, video games, cooking, politics, essentially anything you are currently NOT getting presented.
I've rented 4 cars in the last year in 4 different states and have had literally no problems and did not notice any major price gouging. ~$150-200/day for a large SUV on all occasions, seemed like plenty of stock available across companies.
> All transportation should have a weight multiplier to the base price since every kg adds to the fuel usage. Nobody should have to pay out of their own pockets for you.

I don't think it would amount to much. A lot of the cost is per seat, no matter the weight.

> 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.

Isn't that already the case?

I'm on the fence for allowing non-citizens to vote in municipal elections. After all, it's mostly local policy that's debated and, by living there, they are directly impacted by it.
Wow,

What is more, when you see all those cars that are going to be 'totalled' by the insurance company because they were under water in the southern part of the US or on the east coast, those cars used to be sold for pennies on the dollar in "salvage sales" in which salvage dealers would recover parts and/or do enough repairs to resell them with a salvage title. The bidding for those cars is much more intense given the demand by rental car companies for stock, any stock, to boost their fleets.

Well, the thing about flood-cars is they can look and drive fine but really merit being called totalled - having been submerged makes corrosion inevitable in a much quicker time frame. All of the electrical parts will go bad in X time frame.

Maybe these can be kept going long enough to bring value to companies but it seems like you'll have a lot more car renters on the side of the road than normal.

"Water can ruin electronics, lubricants, and mechanical systems. It may take months or years, but corrosion can find its way to the car's vital electronics, including airbag controllers."

> With all that, why don’t we simply remove borderline content? Misinformation tends to shift and evolve rapidly, and unlike areas like terrorism or child safety, often lacks a clear consensus. Also, misinformation can vary depending on personal perspective and background.

It's the same thing. AGI is possible to create in this Universe, if we were created.

That is all fine for children, but in real life there are many situations where displaying anger is a perfect tool.

In a movie whose title escapes me, Jack Nicholson plays an anger management therapist who is hired to coach someone 24h per day. He explicitly includes exposing his trainee to situations where he should display anger.

This whole 100% stoicism movement is quite suspect to me. It is mostly a thing for administrator types who read the 48 laws of power and some manosphere sites. It is also Orwellian, since complete suppression of emotions is a central theme in Orwell's books.

I've come to view it as a parlor trick for administrators to appear superhuman and unapproachable.

Actually creative and productive people are more in touch with their emotions and sometimes let them out.
How long have you worked for those companies before the IPO ?
Both are organizations, and we are deep enough into capitalism at this point, that we measure every organization by how it would fare as a corporation. This isn't necessarily bad, but only one way to look at it.

As a person who considers themselves democratic, I think every citizen should be an equal shareholder in government Inc. And maybe things would be a bit better if the have-nots were bigger shareholders in other corporations, too.
>Humans made these policies.

Yes, but my point is that those policies were only made in response to the virus. They were not made for no reason, and of course different groups of people will respond to the virus in different ways.

>The government is enforcing the will of the medical establishment.

I don't understand what the difference here is supposed to be, anyone who seeks medical care in that country could be considered part of the medical establishment, or at least considered as having some kind of investment in the will of that medical establishment.

>We didn't get polled on "6' vs 8' social distancing" or "should cloth masks be required or is a bandana acceptable?".

I'm also confused by this complaint, how often do questions like these show up on a ballot? Usually ballot measures are not this specific.
> Will be interesting to see how many publicly traded companies are fully remote in 5, 10, 15 years.

I'm willing to take that bet. I've already suggested in numerous places on HN (pre-pandemic) that the commercial real estate market itself is going to collapse in the next 10 years because in a remote economy, office spaces have zero or even negative value, and I do see us gradually moving in that direction. Even tasks that traditionally require physical presence (working with CNC machines, materials engineering, etc) have found ways to work remotely using remote-presence robotics, etc., during the pandemic, and all the trustworthy research on the topic has pointed to remote = increased productivity, with FANG companies in particular spearheading the effort to publish bogus studies indicating the contrary.

So in the long-run I think we're going to have a bunch of empty buildings and skyscrapers. As far as the CRE market goes, all those empty buildings would be a great opportunity to create high quality low-cost or free public housing, as is already done with great success in the Netherlands and many of the Nordic countries.

Once remote becomes the norm, the obvious downside of offices (greatly increased cost for decreased productivity and grossly increased negative environmental impact) will do the rest of the work imo.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.

"What are you doing?", asked Minsky.

"I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-tac-toe", Sussman replied.

"Why is the net wired randomly?", asked Minsky.

"I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play", Sussman said.

Minsky then shut his eyes.

"Why do you close your eyes?" Sussman asked his teacher.

"So that the room will be empty."

At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

IIRC, in the incident where the Tesla [Edit: Uber self driving car] collided with a pedestrian pushing a bicycle in Arizona, the Tesla repeatedly switched between calling the input a pedestrian and a bicycle. And took no evasive actions while it was trying to decide.
90% of the people I know with big cars use them because they have jobs, hobbies, or interests that require the transportation of materials and equipment that would be difficult or impossible to transport in a small car, or because they live somewhere that requires a vehicle robust against difficult driving conditions. I don’t think “big=safe” is a super popular reason to get a big car, especially given the cost difference vs a commuter car or whatever.
