No, it's more like an extreme case of in-breeding.

On the other hand, if a mammal were to produce a viable fertile offspring through parthenogenesis, then that offspring would be a clone of it's mother.
Add voice calling to your mobile app
We are in the midst of developing some APIs and integrating with an SDK that would enable app users to make voice calls directly to each other (from within your app) or the call centre using their data connection.

Has anyone done this? Would it help your business? Would some devs/your business like to participate to test this?

To clarify, we have a working standalone app with all above features. Need help/feedback from someone who might have a working app and wants to add calling functionality within their app.

Experiences vary. I was just at the point of qualifying exams when a full time job op came up in a tightly related field. They (profs and managers all) understood, my new co-workers mostly being phds themselves, and I hired on at 32 hrs a week for full time - health insurance etc, and dropped my dicey gov research funding.
I loved every second of working mon-thurs, phd by,… every other spare second. But I could live on chewing gum, beers, and ideas at that age, I guess. I also took about 6 years all up. God it was fun when it was fun.

Just like in the books, one person close to Hari went to the Foundation to nudge it in the right direction at the start, I'm assuming that this is the role Gaal was to play, but didn't get a chance to do..

Either way, in the absolute this is correct that this isn't following the book's model, but, they aren't completely invalidating it. I hope
Historically the gold standard for predicting recession, more accurate than any other indicator, is "10-Year Treasury Constant Maturity Minus 2-Year Treasury Constant Maturity (T10Y2Y)":

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/T10Y2Y/

The gray bars are recessions and downward slopes precede recessions. At least all the way back 1976.

Has anything fundamentally changed that makes this no longer accurate?

EDIT: this comment has been downvoted with no explanation why. Perhaps the HN economist who downvoted me would be kind enough to teach us all the flaws of this predictor?

Some cautionary comments:

Often your advisor in grad school will force you to focus on what they want rather than what you want to learn. This is less likely in a math department, but more likely in a CS one. As with everything, it all depends on your advisor.

The PhD is replete with hoops you have to take that will be orthogonal to your goal of learning (e.g. spending a lot of your time doing HW on the professor's pet topic when taking a course). Someone I know who retired somewhat young (early 50's) enrolled in a PhD program because he loves to learn. He dropped out within two years because he found it fairly inefficient in learning the topics he wanted to learn about (he had a career on mathematical topics and can handle the math). Unlike younger folks, time is precious for him, and being efficient is more important to someone in their 50s than in their 20s.

If all you care about is learning and not the actual piece of paper in the end, it may be more efficient to get a less demanding job and use your spare time studying what you want to study. Do it right and you'll make more money than you would as a student, and potentially learn more than you would in grad school.

Finally, PhD is about research. Yes, you will learn a lot, but learning is not the goal. A lot of people drop out because they realized they loved learning much more than doing research, which will involve large chunks of your time being unproductive. If you plan to do a PhD, you will have to draw a line at some point and say "OK, those 10-100 things there that really interest me? I have to drop them forever so I can do research." If you opt not to do research, you can learn a lot more.
AIUI, the negative-sum game breaks down like this: consider a black box around the entire bitcoin ecosystem. This black box is consuming $20B/year worth of real resources, which (given that you can't generally buy electricity or generation assets with bitcoin) means $20B/year is flowing out of it.

Now to be sure there are some customers of the bitcoin system, using bitcoin as an intermediary to move money across borders or purchase from certain online marketplaces, and those customers are paying some amount of money into the system to use bitcoin for this purpose (analogous to the 2% that VISA skims off the top when you use your card to buy something on Amazon), but the majority of the money flowing in to balance that $20B outflow is from investors buying in. Unless you think bitcoin has managed to capture something in the order of $20B/year in transaction fees from the likes of Western Union, AMEX and Paypal, what's mostly happening is money being funnelled from investors taken as a whole to the the supplier industries that bitcoin relies on.

Their point is that they are not a store, you are focusing on the key-value aspect. In a store, if I write, the expectation is that the write will occur. They gain efficiency by sometimes deciding the write is not worth the cost and evicting rather than writing.

Fair point. The equivalent of regular 'operators' +-*/&|etc in J are verbs, and restricting yourself only to verbs, there is no precedence and it is unambiguous, but with operators, it does get a bit more tricky.

You can get pseudo indian filter coffee with a little bit of money and effort. You have to choose a coffee grinder at your price range, and there are websites that sell good coffee beans (you have to experiment to find the one you like). Buy the indian coffee filter in an indian grocery store. Milk is the biggest problem -- you just cannot get that taste without fresh milk (usually delivered in early mornings in india). If you're willing to drink tetrapack milk, you have something approximating filter coffee.
> It's supposed to be an all-consuming, single-focus period of intense research and knowledge generation.

This is mostly a recent phenomenon. Definitely not true for many I knew, nor of their professors when they were students.

Lots of people got a PhD by just being disciplined and working 8-5 on it in the usual time frames. I wager many still do.
I'm continuing to work on https://concise-encoding.org which is a new security-conscious ad-hoc encoding format to replace JSON/XML and friends. I've been at it for 3 years so far and am close to a release.

In a nutshell:

- Edit in text, transmit in binary. One can be seamlessly converted to the other, but binary is far more efficient for processing, storage and transmission, while text is better for humans to read and edit (which happens far less often than the other things).

- Secure by design: Everything is tightly specced and accounted for so that there aren't differences between implementations that can be exploited to compromise your system. https://github.com/kstenerud/concise-encoding/blob/master/ce...

- Real type support because coercing everything into strings sucks (and is another security risk and source of incompatibilities).

XML had a good run but was replaced by JSON which was a big improvement. JSON also had a good run but it's time for it to retire now that the landscape has changed even further: Security and efficiency are the desires of today, and JSON provides neither.

I've got the spec nailed down and can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel for the reference implementation in golang. I still need to come up with a system for schemas, but I'm hoping that https://cuelang.org will fit the bill.
Yes they do a pretty good job here, at least in my limited experience.

My wife and I are in the Pfizer study. We had a questionnaire, a swab, and blood draws for antibody levels on enrolling, and have had multiple sets of bloodwork since then to watch our response. We have a weekly symptom check-in, and for any suspicious symptoms are directed to get a COVID test and notify them so they can follow up on results. In case we are unable to go get a test, we were all provided with a test kit for home use (which gets sent back to them).
This is what I prefer as well, with the added benefit of easily being able to export the type for use somewhere else.
A PhD is certainly not for everyone (or even most), but it's rather unfair to say that it does not teach any employable skills. Even PhDs who go on to work in completely unrelated fields learn how to make progress on poorly defined problems and to advance the frontier of human knowledge. And a PhD is also of course a hard prerequisite for career in academia or research.

As for that survey of PhD students, I suspect you would get similarly dismal reviews of parenthood from parents of 0-5 year old children -- but of course that doesn't mean that nobody should have children! A better survey would ask PhD students how they feel about the experience well after they are done with it.

>Vaccines rapidly lose efficacy when the virus they target has free real estate (vectors) in which to mutate.

The finger pointing game really has to stop considering anyone vaccinated can contract, get sick from, act as a vector/petri dish, and consequently spread the mutated virus. Unvaccinated as well.

>The laughably slow vaccine uptake in the US (while the rest of the world couldn't secure doses) is to blame there, not anything else.

Instead of attempting to blame unvaccinated vectors for the poor vaccine performance, why not blame the actual culprit - the barely tested (with only ~200 clinical trial participants), rushed (sorry, expedited) vaccines?

Generally speaking, American PhD programs expect that you'll be spending at least a year (and generally two) on graduate-level courses before engaging in full-time research. European-style undergraduate degrees are much more focussed, with far fewer "gen-ed" requirements, and you're expected to pick up any extra background material en passant, alongside your thesis work.

It's a philosophical difference that doesn't mean a great deal practically. Often, European undergraduate programs are five years in length, although that's been changing as many European institutions now seem to be moving towards four-year programs. I'm not really sure what's driving that shift, but I think it's done partly in an effort to standardise what it means to have a "bachelor's degree" in terms of what employers can expect between Europe and North America, &cet.
Wow, thanks! Maybe I should just put some of this stuff on a resume and send it out - see what it turns up.

Congratulations on your success!
The CEO and the workers are not in competition with each other for similar jobs. Their pay is not at all connected in any way what so ever. Each person's pay is determined by what the market rate is.

The politicians in Washington have convinced everyone that we should blame CEOs for the fact that our representatives have done a terrible job of maintaining a stable competitive market for low wage earners. The problem isn't that there are too many CEOs. There are too few. The problem with John Deere isn't it's success, but more specifically it's success at forcing others out of the market.

When there are only 2 big employers in your town, guess what? You're going to make whatever they hell they want to pay you.

But yeah, let's blame the CEOs.
The most valuable thing would be the hilarious errors. When Gandalf shows up in Star Wars or darth vader is replaced with a ring wraith kind of thing. I’m sure this fanfiction exists somewhere already though.
> In Vietnam, Soviet troops helped manned SAM batteries and were advisors

They also provided hundreds of MiG-21s, trained ~40 pilots/yr in the USSR, and,as you say, trained North Vietnamese pilots in-country[4][5]. But their direct involvement was minimal compared to the Chinese. China gave the North Vietnamese dozens of MiG-17s[0] and MiG-19 variants and instructors[4], provided air surveillance information directly to Hanoi's Air Situation Center beginning in 1964[1], rotated "over 300,000" troops (180,000 in country at peak[4]) and technical experts through North Vietnam during the war[2], many of them directly manning AAA batteries, and acted as a "safe zone" for North Vietnamese pilots to avoid American attacks[3].

Interestingly, while both the Soviets and the Chinese avoided flying combat missions directly, but the North Koreans were eager to jump into combat. However, it didn't go very well for them... they lost 3 Mig-17s in the first two engagements (against zero American losses), and then four more in the next two. They upgraded to Mig-21s and had more success, downing an F-105, an F-4C, and an F-4D while losing only one MiG-21. But they left in 1969 and don't seem to have played any sort of major role[5].

Great thread, feels like a time capsule for some of the people that are starting new things in life, moving to a new city, getting a start-up off the ground, trying to get used to their new lifestyle. I hope I can come back to this thread some time in the future and reminisce as I'm sure many of you will.

To answer the question, I'm working full-time at a job that I feel completely hopeless at. Basically fresh out of college and I'm working at a place where I can't communicate with like 95% of the development team due to language differences, so I'm stuck working on an undocumented codebase with no guidance/on-boarding/help whatsoever. Lots of trial and error to figure out how stuff works, and a fair bit of going around the current code and working directly with libraries because I don't have the time/energy to try to understand the layer the people before me built on top of that library.
Not to mention that there's a nonzero chance of Tether bringing down the entire crypto ecosystem (temporarily) within the next year, Coinbase stock included
Preach! I really like the idea of post-publication peer review - we need a way to unbundle the different functions that publishers are serving (basic quality checking, filtering based on someone's guess at the ultimate merit/value of the research, archiving, standardized formatting...).
It's a leaky abstraction over the underlying system call mechanism. Because the user stack lives in user space and accessing it from the kernel requires the same dance as any other access to user memory, system call arguments are instead passed in registers where they are immediately available to the kernel with no possibility of faults or TOCTTOU holes.

Here 'unsigned long' is just a convenient stand-in for "generic register-sized argument".

A "void * pointing to struct" requires a copy from user space. If a particular prctl() does need a struct, it can certainly stuff a pointer into one of those 'unsigned long' parameters (in the kernel environment, a pointer can be converted to and from an unsigned long without concern).

I think we are overlooking a simple conclusion: the Americans, in sum, find the cost of several hundred thousand deaths each year acceptable in order to safeguard their freedoms and their way of life.

Historically, they made peace with the death toll of yellow fever (~5% fatality rate!) and they made peace with the death toll of malaria. Disease prevention is a relatively novelty in the US, historically speaking, and mostly secondary to war readiness (undermined by the Spanish flu around WW1 and polio around WW2). If it wasn't for the threat of foreign wars destroying the American way of life, the American society at large is indifferent to a high death toll from disease.

It's not clear whether this is a matter of high religiosity (because death is a goal and only the beginning of a soul's journey) or a history of dehumanizing a huge segment of their own population.
NBER generally determines the start and end dates for recessions, and real factors are given more consideration:

> Because a recession must influence the economy broadly and not be confined to one sector, the committee emphasizes economy-wide measures of economic activity. The determination of the months of peaks and troughs is based on a range of monthly measures of aggregate real economic activity published by the federal statistical agencies. These include real personal income less transfers, nonfarm payroll employment, employment as measured by the household survey, real personal consumption expenditures, wholesale-retail sales adjusted for price changes, and industrial production. There is no fixed rule about what measures contribute information to the process or how they are weighted in our decisions. In recent decades, the two measures we have put the most weight on are real personal income less transfers and nonfarm payroll employment.
