It is also a first name. A Dutch DJ was called 100% Isis. She later renamed herself to Isis, her first name. This all took place in 90s and 00s I don't know if she is still active. I liked the name.

The first thing I thought of was the haptic immersion from Ready Player One. Essentially a way to allow you to "feel" things that are happening to you in a virtual reality environment. You'd need a lot of vibration motors to get good coverage, though, and it'd probably be pretty uncomfortable to wear with current technology.
I also did this years ago. There used to be a kit you could buy. It had a compass IC and a ring of vibration motors. The sensation always pointed north.

I wore it around my ankle non-stop for a while, only taking it off when sleeping. I did some long hikes with it, etc. I could roughly tell where's north if I consciously thought about it, but the "ever present sense of direction" never really happened as far as I can tell.

Maybe the biggest realization that came from using it was that some roads in the city were actually slightly curving while I previously considered them relatively straight (I could tell from the compass direction changing while traveling along them). It's obvious when looking at the map, but not so much when being there.
The book in the updated link [1] does not have the problem that the old link had I think, if you were talking about how for example on page 358 the page had become split so that the rightmost part of the page had been cut off and placed on the left side of the page. I didn’t check the other pages because I’m on mobile, but since page 358 looks good in the new link the others might too.

The tricky thing about using a rail gun is that you need to deliver all the power very quickly which is hard and expensive. With this launch system you can spin it up slowly by feeding in energy and then release the projectile once you're up to speed.
We did try hiring a head of growth. Didn't work out. Depends on the stage. In an early stage, the whole company is about growth. The entire team is responsible for growth. hiring a head of growth is a myth and doesn't solve growth problems. It's far better to invest in infrastructure and building muscle in the entire team around growth

Anytime someone says JSX is JS, what they said means what those words mean, and what those words mean is wrong. JSX is not JS.

If you want to say something that is different than "JSX is JS" then use different words than "JSX is JS". Nobody is misunderstanding you. You're simply wrong, and insisting on saying something that's not true.

It's possible in the English Language to put together a different sentence using different words that is not incorrect, so do that, instead of saying "JSX is JS", if you want the words you say to not be wrong.

But you don't get to unilaterally redefine the meaning of the word "is", or the JavaScript language definition, and then act rude and angry and frustrated when people disagree with you and get tired of your infinite looping and mindless repetition of things that simply aren't true.

So try this: next time you feel the urge to repeat the false statement "JSX is JS", and find yourself looping infinitely picking arguments with knowledgeable people who disagree with you, instead say something completely different, that actually means what you're trying to say and is true, like "You can use JS language features instead of a custom template system", which means something totally different than "JSX is JS".

Then you won't be saying something that is wrong, and you won't feel so sad that people are misunderstanding you, and you won't get sucked into an infinite loop and keep going around in circles, because you're not simply saying what you mean, and instead inexplicably saying something that's not true instead.
Those ones. What are you confused about?

Apart from the obvious jokes, I think this is a fantastic example of where we should be heading in the future. No not RC sex toys, although that's fine, but individuals able to customise common software for their individual needs.

Some people have a vision of a few percent of the population producing software that everyone else consumes - much like say agriculture.

I have a vision of software literacy- where 99.9% of people can write their own. Is it less "efficient" - kind of. But most of us won't write drivers for iphone screens. But equally I bet that sex toy software would be an underserved market judging by the reaction on HN :-)

The future is democratic and open. I think that's a good thing.

Oh man, I banked with US Bank back in 2003/2004. One day I overdrafted my checking account by about $5. "Overdraft protection" kicked in and they automatically transferred money from my savings account, but not before charging a $25 fee that caused... another overdraft. This repeated automatically over a dozen times in one day to the tune of around $300. I noticed what was going on that evening and manually transferred some extra into checking to stop the cycle.

The next morning I went in to sort it out and was told I needed to travel an hour away to the branch I had originally set up my account at. Upon arriving at my "home" branch I was told the manager was on vacation and no one else could help, but she would call me as soon as she got back. Two weeks later, having received no call, I went back in and saw the manager sitting at her desk. I closed all my accounts on the spot and never looked back.

I've used to have a space in my user name and even contemplated to add a bit of non-1252 Unicode. You find a lot of issues, but unfortunately often in tools you have little control over and end up not being able to work effectively at times. It ended up being more frustrating than helpful.

> With a debit card you’re relying on the bank’s good will. With a credit card it’s the law.

Can't emphasize this enough!

It is true that many banks do offer fraud protections on their debit cards. But those are just a choice by the bank. They can at any moment stop or withdraw those protections and then you're out of luck.

With a credit card, the protections are written into regulation, so every bank must follow them and can't change the terms.
The history is that people used to write paper checks, and merchants would charge a bounced check fee. Overdraft _protection_ was actually a banking feature which would save you from the cost and embarrassment of a bounced check.

There is very nearly zero usefulness to overdraft protection in a real-time authorization world. Nobody charges a fee for a rejected debit authorization.

I suppose merchants might charge a return check fee for a failed ACH payment, but nobody uses ACH payments for anything routine in the US.

Ten-minute test for detection of Covid immunity
Not really, the bank would just pay someone else to say and do awful things.
This is my point also, and I'm being downvoted for it.

If two people are in disagreement about the same facts, then one of them is either misinformed or lying. It's that simple.

If the only recourse seems to be to sink to the level of mud-slinging, with no clear ability to point to the audit trail and say "this is where it all went wrong", then it calls into question the value of that auditing process.

I'm personally unimpressed with the TPC process in general. I remember one "benchmark" that showed the performance of a 2RU server breaking some record, and it was a minor footnote that it was using a disk array with 7,500 drives in it -- dedicated to that one server for the duration of the test. That's an absurd setup that will never exist at any customer, ever.

I ran that same software myself on literally the exact same server, and it couldn't even begin to approach the posted TPC numbers on typical storage. It was at least two orders of magnitude slower.

The rub was that its inefficient usage of storage was the main problem, and the vendor was pulling a smoke & mirrors trick to hide this deficiency of their product. The TPC numbers were an outright fraud in this case, at least in my mind.

So to me, TPC looks like a staged show where the auditors are more like the referees in a WWE wrestling competition.

No matter how many motors you strap to yourself, it's still gonna be vibration. See my other comment in this thread where I list the youtube video, sometimes in VR I'll have > 50 vibrators stuck to myself, and basically I just feel like a big smartphone. In most cases, it's not immersive (though audio reactive haptics for virtual clubs is great), it's just a way to notify me things are happening.
All that productivity is standing on the shoulders of (infrastructure) giants.
Are you saying having sex with emacs isn't actual sex?
The OLD has been monopolised globally by two American corporations. With global shadowbans, blacklists, and bans, ruled by brutal supply-demand market forces. Too easy to fall off the roller coaster. Approaching a human of opposite gender is rare and rarely acceptable nowadays unfortunately.

That's very true, and those central distribution channels are a mixed blessing.

Note: I do not understand from the latter excerpt how the accuracy (correct assessments on the whole population) can be so high when the incorrect assessments (revealed by sensitivity and specificity) are so high.

Of course, another question would be about the timing of production, wide distribution and costs - together with information about similar efforts.
For anyone curious, this is called Pseudo-localization (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudolocalization). I first singled across this in Raymond Chen's blog.
From the Scott Manley vid on it, the full scale orbital version is doing 10000g at the tip when it's at full speed. I guess if you didn't want to go as far you could lower that but by the time you're at something tolerable to humans I don't think you'd have much energy to play with. You could try significantly increasing the radius to lower the acceleration but I suspect you'd need to get impractically large before you had something that wouldn't kill people.
entirely of back-to-back operations with denormals

In the context of sound, I could see this happening with an exponentially decaying envelope generator (or an IIR filter).
Lot of red flags for Spinlaunch.

> The test projectile "goes as fast as the orbital system needs, which is many thousands of miles an hour," Yaney told CNBC

This is an evasive statement. The test projectile is nowhere near as fast as their planned orbital system. The challenges scale poorly. Acceleration (and resulting loads during the spin) scales with v^2. Then once you hit the atmosphere, drag and thermal flux increases with speed even faster.

This what is so great and yet limiting about SQL. Carefully optimized implementations, but only for a fixed set of built-in functions.

If people have never heard of Databricks, now is the time because a 100 billion company just started a war against them. Great marketing win Databricks.
They exist here as well. As a cyclist they don't make me feel very safe - when driving a car I've noticed that cyclists are often hidden from view by the cars in front of you and only "appear" two cars ahead of you.

Every day I see drivers playing with their phone and that two car distance is short enough for them not to look up and read end the cyclist.

When my kids reach the age when they can cycle by themselves it will worry me even more.

Bullshit. 2 => 3 transition was mostly mechanical and programmers who are unable to do it should get better.

I haven't seen py2 code in several years. Granted, I would look away in disgust if I did.
is this real? something doesn't feel right
I wouldn't go so far as to call it racism, but I do find it somewhat xenophobic to suggest that it is wrong to outsource you work to other countries. Why is a Chinese worker any less worthy of a job than an American one? $1 in in a developing country goes further than $10 in a developed one. Globalization has granted billions of people access to things we take for granted like electricity and heating.
I see you haven't been in the market for legal services recently.
Yes, Magic Circle and Silver Circle firms have IT departments and secretarial services. Barristers have nothing like that. Thirty lawyer London firms charge London rates (when they can) and don't have that secretarial back-up. Baker & McKenzie even has an office (a subsidiary) to do such work. But--this encourages the £500./hr lawyer to not learn this arcana. He moves to a firm without the backup and then guess who is charging the client for tinkering with tables (can't you just scale a table in Word? No.) or trying to add a section and subsections to a document with auto-numbering in
place; he doesn't know how to do this so futzes around and finally decides to manually add the section; looks fine on the screen until he prints--to pdf, why not?--but the new manually entered section isn't in the so carefully prepared Table of Contents, updating the table only changes the page numbers, the section isn't showing and it's not in the index either, and counsel for the seller is screaming something about a closing and the paralegal who is supposed to know these things hasn't learned auto-numbering ("learned" isn't really accurate here, "seen in practice" is the best you can hope for) and decides to fix things by making everything manual (not too hard--just convert to text and then past back) and so yes, very much yes, the £500./lawyer at the 30-member firm is definitely charging for this under the general heading of "Revising" for which there is a numerical code when the accountants send out the bill. Were the bill broken down to include "futzing with Word" then the client would refuse to pay, but the client never can get down to that level of granularity. Maybe at a three hour deposition in a dispute over fees--where if you lose, you pay for three sets of attorneys (your new, Word-savvy attorney, your old non-Word savvy attorney, and your old attorney's attorney--now its £1500/hour, by the way), but the judge will not question the non-Word savvy lawyer because he too has had to futz with Word and that is part of the legal practice that Mr. Client agreed to pay £500/hour for. And that paralegal is a fee earner, haven't you looked at a legal bill lately? Next case.
That is interesting -- can you share your sources? There are, of course, a lot of ways of measuring upward mobility:

* inter-generational upward mobility -- are you richer than your parents?

* intra-generational mobility - has the older you climbed to a higher position than the younger you?

For the above, it makes a difference whether you are talking about absolute gains or relative gains (e.g. bottom quintile to top quintile).

And also whether you are measuring income or wealth and if income, whether you are looking at after tax income or market income. With wealth, it depends very much on how you measure things like government benefits.

Finally, mobility measures need to be taken across the business cycle rather than just, this year versus 5 years ago.

It's not a simple issue, and I've seen studies that go either way on this, but I'm always interested in getting more data on this important topic.
Because I get 2-5% of it back if I put it on a credit card and pay it off and the end of the month.
