> Insurance doesn't cover adequate care. (Usually 2-3 sessions a YEAR)

This is incorrect. The passage of the ACA required insurance companies to lift the limits on visits for mental health.

As someone who has dealt with the mental health system in the U.S. for 20+ years, I remember the time before the ACA and after — a big difference.

But even with insurance, it’s not a guarantee to find someone who will treat you. I’ve had the experience of calling a long list of providers who accepted my insurance, but weren’t taking new patients.
Not the GP, but in the sense that it can't be used to hash arbitrary (word-padded) data. This "hash" can only turn words into other words. A true hash function needs to produce a hash from a multi-word buffer, and do so in a way that all the data in the buffer is equally significant to the final hash value.

> Congo badly needs money

No, money is a veil. When people say "X needs more money", what they usually mean is "X needs more productive resources". But giving someone foreign currency doesn't result in increasing their productive resources. And the greatest productive resource that is lacking in Congo is state and private capacity to develop productive ecosystems. As long as productive resources are viewed as prizes that people fight over controlling with the gun being the ultimate determinant of who gets to own the prize, then Congo will remain a poor nation unable to produce much on its own.

Remember that money is paper, and Congo can print its own. The only reason to give Congo American paper is to let them import more foreign consumption, which may be nice, but isn't going to help Congo develop what it really needs, which is skilled workers, respect for rule of law, property rights, an impartial judiciary and integrity on the part of local officials. In fact, flooding Congo with foreign money undermines all of the above, because it merely increases the pool of prizes that people with guns can fight over.
You're on someone's platform. Whether it's the T-1 to your hosting server or the datacenter in which your site resides or the CDN provider, you are always at the mercy of someone else's Acceptable Use Policy. There is no alt-Internet using mesh-networked radio transmitters that's accessible from within a browser today, and so you will, by definition, be subject to being kicked off "at a whim" for violations of AUP or simply "we don't wish to serve you anymore", no matter what decisions you make.
It also doesn't help that the complexity rules are inversely proportional to the importance of the application.

It very well could. Defining a planet as major or dwarf goes by its ability or inability to "clear the neighborhood", to control or remove objects of smaller mass in its orbital area.

225 AU is a long way, and the volume of space to clear goes up quadratically with distance; this object would have 50,000 times more space to clear than does Earth. The orbital period also goes up with distance [edit, reply is right that it's the 3/2th power], so so does the time between interactions with any particular object.

Multiply those together and you would have an object more than cubically (3.5th power) less effective than Earth at clearing its neighborhood over time, such that it may not have happened in the lifetime of the solar system.

Well, was the Excel spreadsheet accessible to everyone? If not, this model could work in some strange way - if someone needs access to your computer, they are provided the password, then it is changed and you and password custodian now have a password not known by everyone else.

> If its unconfirmed/unproven, as a journalist, shouldn't you not publish it.

This might be an extremely high standard, depending on what you mean by "if it's unconfirmed/unproven."

All kinds of things are commonly reported in newspapers with the qualifier "sources close to X say..." - should newspapers avoid publishing such things? I am not sure that would be good for us as readers.

These allegations clearly fall close to the boundary on the other side of this field: in retrospect it seems like many of them are fictional. (Though the (literal, criminal) indictment mentioned in this piece is of a guy who was a source for only a few of the many things in the document.) But I think your standard is too high.

Doing your best as a journalist to confirm something to the extent that you can and then calling unconfirmed, but potentially interesting or troubling allegations just that seems like a reasonable compromise.

They don’t make it worse because dams aren’t generating organic matter. Organic matter that falls into rivers is going to break down either way, and in a free flowing river it’s often going to break down where the water slows down in estuaries. Essentially you need to subtract the methane that would have been produced in other locations.

In terms of concrete, the percentage of concrete produced worldwide that ends up in dams is minuscule. Only 34 states even have any hydroelectric dams. The US alone is producing 90 million metric tons per year, look for the most recent large hydroelectric dam in the US it wasn’t produced in 2021, or 2020, or 2019, or …

Where would the plants store useless (to them) elements and for what purpose?
In high school any other way would probably be borderline insane.

If you somehow managed to skip trigonometry in high school but still got into college calculus, then there are a few of other ways they might be defined.

One way is to put off dealing with trig functions until you get to differential equations. Then sin is the unique solution of y'' + y = 0, y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 1, and cos is the unique solution of y'' + y = 0, y(0) = 1, y'(0) = 0.

Another way is to define them axiomatically. These are the axioms for sin and cos:

1. They are both defined everywhere on the real line,

2. cos(0) = sin(pi/2) = 1, cos(pi) = -1,

3. cos(y-x) = cos(y) cos(x) + sin(y) sin(x)

4. for 0 < x < pi/2, 0 < cos(x) < sin(x)/x < 1/cos(x).

From that you can deduce all the usual trig identities and the limits you need to do calculus with them.

You still need to prove that functions satisfying those 4 axioms actually exist. One approach is to put that off until later when you've got more tools under you belt. For example once you do Taylor series, you can work out what they Taylor series would be for sin and cos if they exist. The functions defined by those Taylor series do exist, so then you just need to show that those functions satisfy the axioms.
It's not in the your best interest to have access to more profitable but more risky investments until you have a lot of money available. If it isn't obvious to you just think of the shape of utility of money curve.

More profitable but more risky is the most you can hope for. There is competition in private equity market so it's not like it's profitable unicorns for everyone who has access to those opportunities. If anything you should be able to invest in a private equity firm to begin with so they can balance the risk for you by investing in portfolio of assets and guess what - you can do just that as some are publicly traded!

It's really not an evil plan. The regulation is just common sense to protect you from big risk of going bankrupt.

There is plenty of opportunity in public market btw. Some examples of x20s from recent years: SHOP, AMD, TESLA. Some examples of very recent although smaller multipliers: NET (really, if you just read HN once a week you know they are awesome), Unity.

I'm not sure. Say the person has translations tables for english and chinese. If the second tester asked in English "what did you talk about with the last person?" would the man be able to answer? Clearly the man + hash table speaks chinese, but I don't think that's the same as understanding it.

No, it means it does only half of the job.

It can only take an input of fixed size and return an output of the same size.

"True" hash functions take an input buffer of an arbitrary size, and return an output of a fixed size. The mixer can be a part of the complete hash function, often the key part, but it is not the entire thing.

Most sources share their information with the CIA or MI6 for money - why not share them with this guy for money? Especially if he's a former spy and someone you personally know.

I disagree that the setup makes no sense.

> being a hired project designed to only seek politically incriminating information was doomed to be biased from the start, especially in light of the foregoing

Yes like the fact that Solana and Cardano are more centralized than, say, Ethereum.

It takes 128gb of RAM just to run a Solana node. Higher system requirements = less decentralized. Fewer people can join the network. They also pump up their transactions-per-second numbers since they count proof-of-stake votes as transactions.

Cardano has a centralized development team. Whereas Ethereum invests in multiple, independent development teams. This means that a software bug is less likely to take out the entire network. Additionally the founder of Cardano is known to be a bit of a pathological liar and was kicked off the Ethereum team because of this and the fact that he wanted to take Ethereum private.

This is all stuff that anyone can look up.
A 1910 description of wireless telegraphy in Australia
My reply was glib but I think in principle correct. The idea of a strictly controlled system in the NISQ domain to validate quantum supremacy in theory is an interesting approach, but it feel deceptive to me because this 127-qubit computer cannot in fact factor 127-bit numbers with Shor's algorithm or anything like that.

The accomplishment is more akin to creating a bathtub with 127 atoms and doing fluid dynamic simulations on that, which is a much harder problem in many ways than doing the 6e25 version of the experiment. But it is very questionable to me whether any claims of quantum supremacy retain validity when leaving the NISQ domain and trying to do useful computations.

Gil Kalai's work in the area [1] continues to be very influential to me, especially what I consider the most interesting observations, namely that classical computers only barely work -- we rely on the use of long settlement times to avoid Buridan's Principle [2], and without that even conventional computers are too noisy to do actual computation.

> Mastercard and Visa are forcing thousands of websites to verify their users with their government IDs in order to post their adult pics online now.

Any reputable site where adult content creators can make money can reasonably be expected to follow rules according to places where they market, in the case of the US that would include following 2257 which requires some level of bookkeeping as they may fall under the 'producer' guidelines. The US is a big enough market that it's 'easier' to just require all performers regardless of where they live to follow guidelines that keep them able to operate there.

Speaking from unfortunate various-hand experiences, I can say the old rules weren't enough to stop some people from being able to post non-consensual content of others with a verified account. You can say 'just issue a takedown' but the internet is forever, right? Maybe it's better now with the payment processors being more strict but I'm not sure.

In either case I don't think most of the industry is against age verification (at least from the people I've known IRL that have performed in such endeavors) so IMO the bigger problem is how the compliance data is retained.
> You shouldn't enter your username and password for one website into another. You shouldn't train users to do so either.

I'd even argue that this is the much bigger point. The only practical way we have to avoid phishing (and its cousins) with password-only auth is teaching users to look at the domain-part of the URL. It's the only thing I can currently teach my non-technical friends & family.
