There really is a dearth of skilled people. The US has no trade school system and our educational system produces remarkably unskilled and incompetent people. We would not be able to survive without grabbing most of the world's skilled workers.

Of course, there's no reason why we should mistreat the native population and then depend on foreigners for everything from auto repair and electricians to tech workers and scientists. We should actually care about our domestic population and about our own working class.

But if you are a business and you want to hire a skilled worker, you do really rely on the foreign labor market quite a bit.
I see. An ISP subnet isn't really the same as a public IP though?
But isn’t the “value” of a journal in the supposed quality of its publications? And the strength of its review process is a highly influential in maintaining that quality?

If so, I’d say the publisher definitely is exploiting academics for free review.
There's an important distinction to be made between fake news which is deliberately misleading and the concept of fiat news which is when information is passed along with no checks and balances in environments where people explicitly assume that there are checks and balances. We see this in the media but now also increasingly in academia as journals seem to be performing the review function less effectively than before. There's an article that I think explains the difference between these two problems that is worth reading: https://www.epsilontheory.com/fiat-money-fiat-news/
You're ignoring that science improves and leads to further discovery.

It's perfectly fine if 0.00000001% of the population spends their lives on something that achieves nothing if a few of these lead to further developments.
I prefer the joke explanation. Each new processor line got its name by doing the calculation of incrementing the previous one by 100:

I’m about to refinance again (in the US) and while I can readily afford our current 15-year mortgage, I’m likely to take out a fresh 30-year-fixed. Why shouldn’t I? It’s almost sure that risk-free rates will rise over that time and may even exceed the mortgage rate during that period.

In such a situation, a lifelong mortgage is exactly what I want to have.

On dark days, I don't know. For every Solzhenitsyn there are thousands if not millions of anonymous souls forced into the wastelands of Siberia with only the shirts on their backs to keep them warm and fed over the unforgiving winter. Solzhenitsyn himself was one of them, and only a long string of miraculous happenstances turned him into a pivotal character. The forces of history were looking for a vessel.

This perhaps is a reminder to pour a drop of wine in memory of those who didn't make it.
We do, actually, for dolphins at least. Researchers did an experiment where dolphins had to coordinate their actions (push 2 buttons together) without seeing each other. So they coordinated their actions acoustically by communicating when they should push the buttons.
I can’t find sources to support those claims. But AFAIK the main difference from practical POV is support time. Oracle OpenJDK builds are provided on rolling release cadence, there’s no LTS concept. Once Java 18 is out, you’re supposed to migrate ASAP. Oracle JDK does have LTS. You have a year after Java 21 LTS to migrate to it. But those 17.0.x patches will not be open source.
It is a coordination problem. I have lots of friends in academia, and they all have to publish in specific journals otherwise their research doesn't count toward tenure and promotion. They can scream that it's unfair, but if they don't publish in those journals, they literally lose their jobs, and somebody willing to publish in those journals will be hired.

Follow the incentives.

Perhaps you are in computer science. As long as we're trading anecdotes, I went to one of the top universities in my country. I regularly came across articles that were not accessible from large professional societies such as IEEE, ACS, and SPIE. Now I work in a hospital, and they don't have subscriptions to anything non-medical! I have to go through sci-hub for access to my own papers!

> If the problem really is to send a real number using a single bit (and some shared randomness) then clearly that’s just impossible. Next!

Not impossible. You can perfectly well send say, pi, by implementing a protocol which sends 1 if the number is pi and 0 if not.

And it's about as useful as the mentioned algorithms.

I really don't believe "The site owner decides what you can and cannot do." statement. What is the base of this? This does not seem to apply to anything in the real world.

In most cases you have very limited ability to decide what other people cannot do. And other people has mostly infinite choices of what they can do. I never heard anything as broad as you said. What you said is like a person standing on the street with a T-shirt says "do not look at me more than twice" and claim it has a legal binding to the whole world.

It was a screwed up labor market. Basically, the bottom two deciles working for garbage wages and working conditions to the benefit of everyone else.

If those people can find better work/compensation options, good for them, even if it means less eating out and traveling for others.

I would love to see higher pricing for late night meals or overnight/weekend/holiday shifts at a hotels, restaurants, and other leisure businesses.
It sounds like to me to advance this debate, people could provide examples of journals that are regularly cited and their papers aren't easily accessible in some way.
I don't care too much about it, but I wonder whether the open sourcing of it and the Enterprise license for commercial use requirement are really orthogonal.

Nothing is forcing Oracle to "routinely check log files for downloads of the VirtualBox Extension Pack from nonresidential IP addresses and contact unlicensed users to enforce compliance" (per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox#VirtualBox_Extensio...). They could easily just say "this software is free for commercial and non-commercial use."

Mostly because the people who want to introduce a "programming language" into the shell don't prioritize being a shell.

Check out the "Oh" shell for contrast. This is what a programming language looks like when you force it to conform to being a shell first priority.

The specific behavior of Postgres isn't the FUD, the FUD is the speculation that this is what brought down Roblox for multiple days. As others have mentioned, we don't even know if Roblox uses Postgres, and yet we're diving deep on how an edge case of Postgres brought down Roblox. It's the speculation that I think is FUD.

> academics could easily disrupt it

I get it, this is Hacker News and we all disrupt five industries before breakfast, but this so out of touch it's not even funny. Old journals aren't going away just because a few academics decide to start a new unknown journal.

Have you ever outcompeted a cartel that has 100 years and billions of dollars on you? Me neither. Maybe it's possible, but it's certainly neither easy nor as simple as you suggest.

Academics are playing with their own and their students' careers by defying established journals. That's infinitely higher stakes than software devs taking VC money and failing only to use this experience as a piece on their resume for the next job. It shouldn't be that way, but fixing that is hard.

1. They provide stable download URL. It looks to be tailored specifically for Dockerfiles.

2. They provide images for OpenJDK.

It would be very logical move to just provide Oracle JDK LTS image.

There are plenty of software which would be based on those images. They could use Oracle Linux as a base to somewhat indirectly promote it.
They are.

In Alberta, the electricity system has been deregulated so you can buy from numerous providers. The Utilities Consumer Advocate shows 187[0] different electricity plans available in my city. My currently plan and provider changes rates monthly, but some providers allow you to sign up for 3-year or 5-year fixed-rate plans.

Thanks to deregulation, the electricity rate isn't the only thing you pay for though. There is also a Transmission Charge, Distribution Charge, and Local Access Fee. These are all per-kWh charges and change very rarely.

In October, my electricity rate is $0.10730/kWh, but my total cost is actually $0.16346/kWh plus the per-day charge ($0.202/day). Tomorrow the November rate will be published.

That simply isn't true. It takes less than a day to drive 1,000 miles. So how early exactly are you talking?

It takes exactly the same effort and time to pack something for 100 miles as for 1,000 miles.

But there is a difference! Stuff shipped a long way costs more in shipping, so they'll ship the best stuff, because the can charge the most for it.

So actually far away places get the best produce, and CA is left with the cheaper stuff that isn't worth selling far away.
Thanks for posting. "Fiat news" is a nice term.

I've said before that certain things in science are "canonized" and then rarely questioned. What you wrote describes that exactly.
I have a long car ride to work and back. I tend to talk it out in the car. For the most part, my negativity comes from discomfort with some aspect of the world. You cannot always get comfortable, but you generally can talk yourself around the problem so it doesn't cause you to stay in a negative state. Heck, sometimes a rant is a welcome experience. These days, people think your talking to someone on the phone. Blow out all the bad and get your head back to neutral or positive.

Just don't let your discomfort turn into anger or sadness. Do some research on things that are actual chemical downers and get them out of your life. Heck, having certain color photos on your desk will help some people. Environment is often a big contributor to our mood. I'm not talking some dumb crap fool yourself. I honestly mean find things that contribute to a good mood. I gotta admit being in the badlands for some reason puts me in an amazingly positive mindset for a long time. No idea why.
I will take a look at this - thank you!
All decisions are based in love or fear.

Find your purpose, make sure it's ambitious, make sure it's equitable and helps people. When you are ambitious about your purpose you will be conscious of how little time you have. When you're overwhelmed with progress it's easier to mitigate negativity, you'll be too focused to chime in on the little stuff, or you will empathize for what used to annoy you, and realize you're ahead of the pack.

When men don't have enough ambition, negativity, hatred, jealousy may take hold because your subconscious self knows you can do so much more. Find your purpose and become laser focused on it, and everything else will fall into place.

In the CZI case no - CZI can operate in the self interest of its members as an LLC if it is not a charity. Note that there is also the CZI Foundation (folks can get all this confused easily).

For private foundations self dealing with disqualified people (directors / officers etc) is prohibited - even if the transaction is "fair". This is because it can be hard to say what is fair.

But for public charities you can have self dealing transactions if they are "fair". This is where the problem is. By the time you have attorney's / appraisers etc involved - and you are paying all of them, there often is not someone in a position to challenge the results who cares about the transactions. And the IRS (which folks keep refering to here) is way WAY behind and this is bottom of their list stuff as they don't get much money from this (vs billions they could get elsewhere).

This is not the case in all states. The IRS is way behind, but places like California have very active charitable oversight. In California you can go to the AG's office, tell them of the deal. They then have 2 years to complain or you can ask them to approve the deal in advance. If you DON'T request approval or give notice the AG's office has 10 years to sue you if they think the deal was unfair.
CSS { in Real Life } – Evaluating Clever CSS Solutions
This was a very nice exposition. Two notes which helped my understanding:

1. There appears to be a typo in the gluing axiom. The second half of the hypothesis should read

res^{U_i}_{U_i ∩ U_j}(s_i) = res^{U_j}_{U_i ∩ U_j}(s_j)

i.e. the unions should be swapped for intersections. This is somewhat obvious if you've been paying attention to the definition of the restriction map and think about what the axiom is trying to accomplish, but tripped me up enough that I needed to check on Wikipedia to make sure I was following along correctly.

2. I'm not confident on this (since I've never successfully understood what a sheaf is before), but I think the sets Γ(V,F) need to be defined as something like an indicator function over the domain of entities (or perhaps a counting function for the number of such entities), so you would actually want to say something like "the support of Γ(V,F)={p}" rather than "Γ(V,F)={p}". Maybe the latter is a standard shorthand for the former when working with this sort of thing, but as a non-expert, it took me a bit of thinking to figure out what the map res^V_V' was actually supposed to concretely be (f.ex. say V' is a chunk that doesn't contain our player. If Γ(V,F)={p}, then what is res^V_V'(p)? More to the point, if V' has no entities and is thus {}, how to we construct functions with it as the co-domain?) Of course, I could be misunderstanding the example or notation completely, but I don't think that's the case.
Yes this kind of reporting is the established industry exploiting "whataboutism" / newspaper scoring when absolute numbers are absolutely necessary.

It doesn't matter that smart people immediately do the actual gigatons accounting within seconds of reading the article. The headline is in the public, ready to populate some neuron in their brain that represents false equivalence "Well we polluted the atmosphere with gigatons for 150 years, well that's offset by the gee-whiz volcanic ash headline".

What I mean by newspaper scoring is the surfacing of that simplistic offsetting neuron encoding in lazy people: Simply have three points on one side, three points on the other, regardless of veracity or actual scientific/environmental/economic scales and accounting, they offset in the minds of both the vapid news parroters and those that watch them. Worst of all, the newsmen get to pretend like they are objective because they "represented a balanced perspective".
There is a stress that comes from isolation and change in what was "normal" for life. That directly leads to things like social isolation, economic impacts for some, etc. There is a cause and effect that comes from being in a pandemic.

It doesn't help that places like the US are filled with idiots open to taking random drugs peddled by right wing media. But I'd generalize, the the general US being one of the few countries that allows rampant drug ads on most media and allows doctors to reap from recommendations of certain drugs.

All of these journals' articles are sometimes available, especially for very highly cited articles, but not consistently.

The scanner needs a static field that's homogeneous over the region you're imaging. And magnetic fields can't be homogeneous outside the bore of a magnet, i.e
in free space (Ernshaw's theorem maybe). So any portable scanner has to either have a small, locally homogeneous spot (see Blümich et al from the late 90s or what Schlumberger has done with borehole logging) or be some kind of bigger closed thing like the Hyperfine systems that a sibling post mentioned.

It's a very interesting field from a technical perspective, but there are fundamental physical principles standing in the way of making a portable scanner like an ultrasound
It describes the problem, but not fully. Either do it properly or link to a complete description.

In this case, unlike what the article states as the problem, the point seems not to be how to send a real number using a single bit, but how to aggregate such bits from many agents that measure some shared thing.

That's two very, very different things.
