It's great, pretty niche but very useful to people that need to take notes, and I really liked the video explaining how to use it.

It's without any cool slogans, cool modern stock images or life stories explaining why you built it: just straight to the point.

I wish more people made things so simple. I see the title, watch the video, and immediately understand what it is and what it does.

Half of the submissions on Show HN, I have no idea what I'm looking at. Usually submissions have titles like «Change the future of the internet», have modern landing pages with some quotes, icons and animations, and show no real example of the product they are trying to promote.
That's too much marketing for me.

Thanks for your submission.

Effectively Near Zero.

Most multimeters are battery powered - this one is the exception, this one is a bench meter and is supplied by an IEC cable on the rear, but so long as you unplug in and let it sit for 30 seconds or so before opening it up, you're just fine.

You generally only have to worry about capacitors being charged still on tube-type gear (anything with high voltage circuits), anything with solid state parts, will self discharge within moments.

Obviously, do not have the meter hooked up to a circuit under test while working on it.

You generally only have to worry about capacitors being charged still on tube-type gear (anything with high voltage circuits), anything with solid state parts, will self discharge within moments. This doesnt have a motor starting cap, or high voltage, so the risk is near zero.
The argument you point out, about treating well-off groups equally as bad as those less well-off, is a bad argument and not what you should be thinking about. The practices you point out have nothing to do treating everyone equally bad. You are focusing on the unfortunate consequence of attempting to make right past injustices, rather than the effort to right past injustices. The goal is not to discriminate against young graduates. Rather, biasing hiring in favor of historically oppressed groups is an attempt to, in some small way, achieve a society we would have been in without things like racism and sexism. I understand this type of thing is frustrating for a qualified candidate who personally has a minuscule impact on society, yet is feeling the full brunt of a rejection. But I would encourage you to focus on the much more widespread similar feeling felt by those being helped up by such efforts.

Samsara is the correct Sanskrit (more like Samskrta) pronunciation and the original meaning is the endless birth and death cycle caused by attachment.

The Hindi vernacular Sansaar indeed means the physical world just like Samsara in Kannada (and other Southern languages?) means Family. Both the world and family are due to attachment.

I don’t like that rhetoric either, but unfortunately certain radical ideologies do not acknowledge neutrality. Maybe we can turn to John Stuart Mill for a more eloquent appeal:

“ Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”
In Australia at least we had mandatory hotel quarantine for all foreign arrivals with many of them being infectious.

If you didn't have that quarantine they would be out in the wild infecting people. Not what you want when many parts of our country e.g. Western Australia had zero community transmissions.

Without some sort of travel bans there is no way you could manage that level of inflow.

> I would maybe understand enforcing that requirement if it was effective in protecting the content, but it isn't. 4K content (from UHD blurays and various streaming services) is widely available to pirate, and VLC doesn't care what kind of cable you're using.

Speculation on my part but I wouldn’t be surprised if those kinds of requirements are mainly there to appease motion picture industry partners who Netflix is licensing content from.

Furthermore, given the long experience the people of the release groups in the piracy scene have in fine tuning video codec parameters for optimal balance between quality and file size, and choosing video codecs that can be decoded on a wide range of devices, I think it is highly probable that many of the people working on the technical side of these things at Netflix have had roles in various piracy release groups prior to having come to work for Netflix.

Not saying Netflix would actively seek out piracy release group members to hire them. In fact it’d probably count as negative to openly state any kind of involvement with the piracy scene, and especially to mention having been part of a release group. What I mean is just that the people who were members of these groups have both the skills and the technical motivation to work on these same kinds of things for Netflix.
That doesn't mean any of these NPI's work, are ethical, or are worth their immense cost to society. It is entirely possible to "take this serious" but feel that society is causing itself far more harm with all these measures than it would have by doing absolutely nothing at all. None of these thing were in any playbook prior to march of 2020. And here we are almost a month from 2022 still working from this unwritten, untested playbook and still we have no clue if any of it works.

> That's a ridiculous narrative for covid where vaccinated people are marginally less contagious than unvaccinated people.

Almost two years in and people still don't understand that there is a difference in severity of an infection. When vaccinated, you are much less likely to develop severe symptoms and very unlikely to have to get hospitalized.
In the US the narrative will depend primarily on whether it helps or hurts the chances of current ruling party to do well in midterm elections. You can downvote all you like, you know it's true.

In the rest of the world, word is the new variant is very mild, although it does evade vaccines and so on: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/travel-ban-storm-tea-cup-173442533.... Could be that this is the "vaccine" for those refusing to vaccinate.
Yeah, I guess we are going to cling to the idea of the selfless, heroical teacher who can deal with all of their bosses (direct and indirect), regulations, standardizations, go the extra mile each day for lackluster pay, and maybe even chip in for basic school supplies because the school can’t pay for them.

I don’t think that’s sustainable at all, for any of the parties. These mythical everyday heroes can’t fundamentally reform a system of education which is more about control than enlightenment.

This comment is simply wrong.

Health professionals were factoring in second order effects. The problem is that there isn't a wealth of research or evidence which shows which option is more likely to work. So a lot of at least in the early days was trial/error.

What would do know is that increased mobility translates to increased cases. And so opening parks whilst much safer than being inside results in increased mobility as people need transport to/from those parks.
Yes I agree, but that said, it's just noise.

Also, FB learning algorithm is not some Orwellian disaster - the ads will get marginally better if you click them and that's it, I don't suggest there is any real harm there.

Google, on the other hand, is much more powerful and they know much more about you and the results they chalk up (that you depend upon for life, work) are geared to this.

Google doesn't have a 'Zuck' to pin it on, such is populism.

And FYI the 'big culprit' is VISA. They sell your data to FB and that's a big chunk of how FB learns. But it's not in the headlines, no Congressional 'Whistle blowers' etc., they fly under the radar.

Oh yes. But the parent made it sound like having a "translation layer" makes it somehow unique. Contemporary IBM i, the "translation layer" is a modified form of compiler intermediate language copied from IBM's AIX/etc compilers, and as such isn't really fundamentally different from what happens on other platforms. It also made it sound like the translation layer had a performance cost – in itself, it doesn't, any more than LLVM IR has a performance cost. Some of the entities the bytecode/IR allows you to manipulate – such as 128-bit pointers – likely have some cost, but that is a cost of those entities, not of having a bytecode/IR in itself.

Not saying there is nothing unique about AS/400. The single-level store is a big one, although in more recent decades there has been a big move away from it (teraspaces, PASE, migration from Classic to J9 JVM).

I think the history of 38/400/i could be described like this: it started out with some very innovative, even in some way alien ideas – capability addressing, single address space single-level store, having a bytecode (as opposed to the real hardware's assembly language be the public interface to the OS), primitive object-orientation backed into the OS, a relational database embedded in the operating system (although how deeply integrated it really is has never been that clear), etc. At the same time, it mixed that up with some far less innovative traditional IBM technologies – COBOL, RPG, EBCDIC, block mode terminals, SNA, etc – so even from the start it was some odd hybrid of cutting-edge and trailing-edge ideas. But, gradually since, it has been moving away from that odd mix towards become a much more mainstream system. While the old MI bytecode was a public interface, the new MI bytecode documentation is only available under NDA, and is basically the same as IBM's proprietary compiler intermediate representation on their other platforms. The single address space single-level store exists, but now programmers are encouraged to run their code in a more traditional separate address architecture (teraspace) instead. With the move to POWER, an AIX compatibility subsystem (PASE) was introduced, and more and more code was ported from AIX – and more recently open source packages from Linux. Java was ported to it, and programmers were encouraged to develop in Java – and while IBM's original AS/400 JVM, the "Classic JVM", integrated Java with the original AS/400 single address space world, at some point it was replaced by a port of IBM J9 from AIX running in a teraspace, and now it really behaves no differently than J9 on any other platform does. It is a system which started out as a weird hybrid of the innovative and the traditional, but which has been gradually evolving to be come more and more mainstream, without dropping the backward compatibility necessary to support that original weird hybrid.

> The news coverage I'm reading

That's the real problem here. Turning off the TV and stopping reading the news, crafted precisely to generate anxiety, is the solution. It will probably be a nothingburger, but the media need something to divert from the "mysterious" heart attacks. Remember, two years ago covid was presented as a very deadly virus and it turned out to be only dangerous for a very specific and small segment of the population (70+ yo and obese people).
> Travel bans are not evidence-based: It may seem like travel bans for individual countries are a necessary step, but I cannot stress enough that they do not work.

This one point compromised the article for me. The standard for “working”, like all measures, is to slow down the spread. We all know travel bans got a bad name because you-know-who proposed them. But all countries imposed travel bans and we ought to be concrete about the level of delay they create or not. Let’s not hold any measure to a different standard due to political signaling. If travel restrictions are good on a risk adjusted basis to buy time for the “weeks” of analysis needed that could help with further reducing risk, let’s talk about it not write it off as “not working” which is non-sensical. Masks “don’t work”, vaccines “don’t work”, nothing “works” if that is taken to mean a silver bullet.

There have been (theoretical) proposals to use them to communicate with submarines: http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~hauser/neutrino_communication_p...

> Neutrinos have many properties that would make them superior even to the extremely low radio frequencies. Because neutrinos are nearly unaffected by matter, a neutrino beam could traverse directly through the earth from the transmission site to the submarine. A directional beam would allow confidential information to be passed only to the intended recipient. Neutrino communications would also be totally jam-proof. As an additional benefit, a neutrino message could be received in the deepest of waters, leaving a submarine less vulnerable to enemy attacks.

It was not that many years ago where society universally recognized that discrimination based on immutable physical characteristics such as race, gender, etc. was morally repugnant.

Actually, making my own notation is how I start puzzling out any problem. When one reformulates a problem, the appearance keeps changing but the problem is still there. It often takes multiple reformulations to "see" a problem, unencumbered by artifacts of birth.

The other day an EE grad student came to my office to show me his lab's research. After changing notation a couple of times, I was able to recognize that their novel combinatorial problem was an instance of graph coloring.
Minix 2 design pretty much ensured it couldn't be anything more - a lot of early Linux code was about replacing Minix code with something that made it less of a joke, and the experience was fuel for the tanenbaum-linus flamewar (for example, Linus had reentrant, "multithreaded" I/O whereas Minix couldn't due to how it handled I/O).

It was only Minix 3 when care was taken to include possibly more complex but important techniques instead of forsaking them for simplicity

Kind of ironic to elevate the most educated as being the most independent-minded given the topic of this thread.
> There is plenty of evidence that masks and contact reduction in various forms have a massive effect on how quickly the virus spreads.

If this is true, why is it when showing a chart of data it is almost impossible to pick when any of these measures went into effect? If these measures worked to any worthwhile degree their effect on any data should be absolutely profound. Thus far, you'd have a hard time picking florida out from oregon or california. If you need PhD level math to prove that all these NPI'S work... it means they weren't worth the extremely toxic and corrosive effectives they've had on our communities. Any fool off the street should be able to look at the raw data and see the impact, which currently you can't do.
