I don't know what I'm talking about, but I believe in optimal control a rocket's orientation changes very slowly and the rocket is designed for aerodynamic stability. 50Hz is also probably much faster than the engine can gimbal or throttle. So if a 50Hz tick is too slow to respond to some stimulus, something has gone horribly wrong.

In human genetics, the Mitochondrial Eve (also mt-Eve, mt-MRCA) is the matrilineal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of all living humans. In other words, she is defined as the most recent woman from whom all living humans descend in an unbroken line purely through their mothers and through the mothers of those mothers, back until all lines converge on one woman.

The largest collection of skinheads exists in Oregon. You're showing your bias, totally based off a handful of anecdotal evidence.

>It's reaffirming to hear so many other people have similar sentiments.

Oof sounds pretty similar to something a racist would say.

I'm fine with it though, move away. Part of the reason the Midwest is one of the better areas to live in and still affordable is because coastal elites continue believing they live in some utopia, while suckling the media narrative on flyover areas. Yep it's not appealing just avoid it. Enjoy all those homeless minorities you pretend to care about on the coasts! Thanks! :)
MK2 was notorious for the CPU reading player inputs, so cheesing it was necessary to even have a chance.
As someone else said, it is indeed a moving target, and achieving 40% now is not the same as 40% in 2030. A more clearer picture is presented in this article:

https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/india-meets-target...

> India’s installed Renewable Energy (RE) capacity stands at 150.54 GW, which includes solar at 48.55 GW, wind (40.03 GW), small hydro power (4.83 GW), bio-power (10.62 GW) and large hydro power (46.51 GW) as of November 2021. The nuclear energy based installed electricity capacity stands at 6.78 GW.

> “In line with the Prime Minister’s announcement at the recently concluded CoP26, the Government is committed to achieving 500 GW of installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources by the year 2030,” the ministry added.

What you're saying is hype is all that matters, as hype is the only reason new packages are added to Homebrew, and only because Homebrew got to the developer first, which is to say, by accident. But not all package managers were created equal. Hype is just hype, a tribalistic enthusiasm for the team you arbitrarily happen to support. But if the foundation is weak, and it really is, the underlying egotistical ideology of ignoring the standards of the targeted system, then everything that is built upon it is in jeopardy of failing, and to mitigate this Homebrew requires unrelated projects to keep it functional. It's a bloody mess and makes a bloody mess. So beating the alternatives to the developers door, the alternatives that aren't even bothering to do this, is what you say is the only metric that matters. You're saying politics is all that matters, and effectively claiming substance (the quality of the code and adhering to standards) is irrelevant. Ok. \o/

My wife is finishing up her PhD in American History and I can tell she's getting bored, at least demotivated reading a billion books a week. I've seen this motivation decline in a lot of founders as well 4/5 years into their startups, but I've not seen much reignite the fire. Can anyone recommend any specific tips for staying motivated through a PhD?
I guess that is natural as the user base has probably gone widespread. I even know some non-technical folks who occasionally read HN.
If Hornsea 2 really produces anywhere near the nominal 1,4 MW and was built in three years, that is remarkable.

The Olkiluoto 3 nuclear plant here in Finland (1,6 MW) was just started. The construction took 20 years.

The price seems to be in the same ballpark, 5000 million euro was quoted for Hornsea 1, and 9000 million for Olkiluoto 3?
Moved FROM a big city TO a small suburb in a smaller 'big' city.

PROS:

- Can rent a house > renting a studio
- More time outside
- More outdoor activities like biking, hiking, etc
- Get to have a car

CONS:
- Limited food options (esp for vegans)
- Less city walking (which was hardly ever less than 10k steps) leading to being very sedentary some days
- Have to maintain a car and have no access to public transportation
- Less diverse friend groups

OVERALL
- Worth it for now
I switched to DDG even though the search results are not as good as Google's.

And not for privacy reasons either.

The reason I switched is that it has become too cumbersome to get english results from Google.

In the past I went to google.com/ncr and was good to go.

Nowadays I 1) go to google.com/ncr then 2) Need click away their cookie banner and 3) have to go to google.com/ncr again.

If I only go to google.com/ncr and click away the cookie banner, I still get results based on my location. For example, when I google "tradingview nasdaq", I want www.tradingview.com/symbols/NASDAQ-NDX/ - I don't want <localizedsubdomain>.tradingview.com/symbols/NASDAQ-NDX/

With DDG, I just go to duck.com and I am good to go.

So if anyone from Google reads this - this is the reason you lost me.
> upgrades move faster in the OSS world

There are many who don’t think like this. Microsoft has dedicated teams that ensure backwards compatibility for legacy applications, and even then people stay on XP. If you have an inherited Ubuntu system that has been happily running a proprietary binary for years, there’s even less guarantee (and certainly no marketing organization making that guarantee) that an upgrade won’t break things. And so you fall far behind LTS.
My wife and I moved from California to the mountains of Central Arizona about 23 years ago. Living away from any large cities is definitely a pain sometimes (we can get to Flagstaff or Prescott in an hour). We temporarily moved, renting out our house, for gigs at Google and Capital One, but have otherwise stayed out here because we have so many local friends. Both times we enjoyed culture and other perks of living in real cities.

Living in more remote areas is less expensive and perhaps a healthier life style. When I go to places like NYC for business I probably walk an average of an hour a day, at home I probably average 1 1/2 hours a day.

Anyway, it is a difficult decision for you to make because there are advantages to both options.
Why do people think that Chinese nationalism is a result of communist propaganda?

Why would it be wrong or unexpected for people to go to war if their country was attacked?

The Chinese have seen their country invaded and sold piecemeal and have been striving to 'fight back' and to stand on their own two feet. That reaction started before the communist party was even created and the party is just an expression of it.

You'll likely have to adapt. Personally, I'd withdraw from a position search that required in-office work with no option for working remotely. I find co-worker distractions detrimental. The water cooler is grossly overrated. And I certainly don't want to spend my lunch hour talking about work or trying to make small talk when I really just need a few minutes to recharge for getting through the rest of the day.
The rangefinder idea seems interesting, but I think it would be easily refuted if the extant dodecahedrons weren't all geometrically similar. With that in mind, I did a brief hunt for an exhaustive listing of dodecahedron dimensions but found nothing. I did find detailed information about a single dodecahedron, but not all of them. It seems like an important bit of information to have when speculating about their function and I wonder why this hasn't been compiled, and if it has, why it isn't widely known.
No doubt things are snappier on a present-day i9 than on an i7 from nearly a decade ago. It's also true that it's easy to get used to things and not see e.g. gradual degradation of performance with new and heavier software revisions.

I was mostly interested in the perceived differences between Windows 10 and present-day mainstream Linux desktops because I don't generally feel a great difference between those.
The difference being that these colors are based on character traits and questions being answered, not on the position of celestial bodies. And I'm saying they proved useful to me, I hope they proved useful to those I applied my insights to as well, I think so.

Tfa also does not state the colors are complete bs, it mostly objects to the Thomas Erikson not being educated properly. It does not state any damage being done using his (over?) simplification, I mean I never heard a colleague say: "I'm sorry I trampled all over you in the meeting, I'm just red." Which seems to be what the author is warning for.

I'm just wondering how the colors are scientifically wrong exactly, what hypotheses do they generated that have been proven to be wrong and damaging?

If you "only listen to science", you don't understand science.

Science actually has a narrow focus. It only deals with things that are observable, reproducible, predictable and falsifiable. Since Gödel, science even proved itself as incomplete. The best doctors will always say that if something makes you feel better, by all means do it, even if it is not backed by science.

It is not the same as going against science. This can be bad, because science is really good at what it does, thanks in part to its narrow focus. For example, eat all chicken soup you want if it makes you feel better, but if you want your cancer to go away, it is not a good idea to ignore the treatments that science has come up with. The best doctors will tell you that too.
Yes but people don't care about Asians because they're white adjacent now. You're right though I had way more interactions with black people when I lived in the midwest.
This is just wrong. Depression is a descriptive condition, not a prescrtive one.

Many psychiatrists--the quack ones--will use the language of "chemical imbalance" as a sort of "appeal to authority" fallacy. It should be obvious that this is a fallacy because:

A) at no point have they actually measured the patient's brain chemistry (and it's not obvious what it would even mean to do this? an imbalance where? compared to what?)

B) the doctor diagnosed the depression doing exactly what TFA did: matched a set of symptoms to a list.

One of the harshest criticisms of the DSM-V -- the latest version of this descriptive manual--is that it grossly expands the symptoms that qualify as depression (to include things like bereavement, for example).

The "chemical imbalance" theory was based on the success of SSRIs to treat depression. These are chemicals that inhibit the reuptake of serotonin, which results in overproduction of that neurotransmitter. "Ah, so depression is a lack of serotonin"

Counterfactual evidence is conveniently ignored. For example, the fact that antipsychotics, which block the reception of serotonin (and so are basically the opposite of SSRIs), are also powerful antidepressants!

It's also a nonsense theory to anyone with an undergraduate knowledge of neuroscience. There is no "happiness" neurotransmitter. Serotonin is simply an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which reduces the odds of a neuron 'firing'. Which neuron? Part of what network? Wait, what? In the immortal words of Paul Dirac "it's not even wrong."

In fact, most of the most promising new therapies for depression have nothing to do with serotonin: psylocibin (many orders of magnitude more effective than SSRIs), ketamine and transcranial magnetic stimulation are examples.

Of course, the mind is a side effect of physiology: there must be some biological explanation to depression. But that doesn't mean that it's the same explanation for everyone, or that it has anything to do with a "chemical imbalance" of one neurotransmitter vs another.
Not necessarily. The 5 year old master password could have granted access to a service that made it possible to intercept the password change.

Once made DuckDuckGo my default search engine in all browsers. Ended up switching to Google every time I needed to search in Ukrainian.

I like DuckDuckGo, but its inferior search quality for some non-English languages makes it unusable. Majority of people don't search in English.

Get Keepass. Put it on an USB stick
I do something similar: often waking up at 3:30-4:30 AM. I just get up and start doing something that appeals to me without drinking coffee. About 2/3 of the time, I get a good 90 minutes of work or reading in and fall back to sleep for a few hours. 1/3 of the time, I just roll into my day and get tired slightly earlier that day.

On the days where I do sleep twice, 60% of the time I feel like Superman after the second sleep. (30% feels normal and 10% are brutal, usually where I had to wake to an alarm instead of naturally).
Black hole? Throw mass into a black hole, to generate energy, and increase mass of the black hole, to generate even more energy.
The thing is that coal+gas ist still a massive driver for German electricity generation. Goal is to get coal off the grid until 2035 but has to be seen how they actually handle this has to be seen.

The nuclear part in both countries also face the problem of long term storage that isn't solved by either one of the countries.
When covid hit I was already working remotely as a freelancer for a while. My SO on the other hand was going to the office in a big city. In June 2020 when it became clear that she was going to work from home for an extended period of time, we bought a house in a remote place and we've been living there since.

The house itself is small but we both have our dedicated 8m2 "office" which is key in my opinion. Internet is 4G only so I built a Linux router with a good modem and high gain antennas, it has worked wonderfully for remote work even if the latency is not amazing.

We both love nature and the ability to just step outside and go for a walk in a nice landscape whenever we feel like it is amazing. Back in the big city we needed to drive one hour to get away from the concrete.
Just list the lower end of the band as 20% less than the actual lowest offers. Does the law prevent that?
> But something tells me that there could also be some positive effects from actually wondering about the behavior of others and how you treat them, even if it’s pigeonholing and preconceptions based on bogus research.

I doubt it, any benefit (if there are any) will be FAR outweighed by the negative effects.

It makes it way too easy to use the category as a excuse for bad behaviour.

It makes it way too easy for someone believing it to put themself in a category while they do not fit any category in turn causing a ton a psychological stress, especially for teenagers in the puberty which could even cause long term negative after effects.

It hinders a proper healthy society, because that requires people to work on themself instead of just excusing themself as being <color>.

It hinders proper psychological care, self finding, self reflection/introspection.

It messes with peoples life if applies at work.

>Sometimes I cringe too when takes a massive server board with 9999GB of RAM and a 4g modem and calls it "embedded" just because they screwed it to the side of a helicopter...

Why should the processing power matter for whether something is embedded or not? To me that just seems like cost optimization for an embedded project.
I go back and forth on the moderation policies of HN. I think the amount of work is almost certainly overwhelming at times. For the most part, the moderators do a good job of keeping things on course.

However, there is still, and likely always will be, a serious ideology, knee-jerk reaction problem from mods personal opinions. It's probable they don't even know they're doing it, but my gut tells me 50% of moderation here is personal. It's using a rubber hammer to hit a nail, and I encourage everyone to look at comments dispassionately.

If you'll please excuse me, IMHO, one person deciding that a post is offending, especially on controversial topics, is a problem. I say let the people speak, and then let the votes, and the community, speak for itself.

Lessons from my Ph.D.:

(1) Role of Math. In most fields of research, the most respected research mathematizes the field, that is, makes progress with math techniques and results. So for Ph.D. research, try to have math play that role.

(2) Ugrad Preparation. To be successful with that role of math, have a good ugrad math background. Then maybe get some more math from independent study, work in a career, a Master's program, or whatever. Likely the math topics that both come first and are the most important are calculus and linear algebra.

(3) Find a Good Problem. In your career, independent study, whatever, find a good problem to solve. Pick a practical problem and intend to get an engineering Ph.D. where a solution to that problem is regarded as good research. Make some progress on solving the problem.

(4) Pick a University and a Department. Want a department that respects applied research, maybe in a school of engineering. Hopefully the university will state their standards for a Ph.D. dissertation, e.g., "An original contribution to knowledge worthy of publication." Look at their description of their Ph.D. qualifying exams. Do enough study at the ugrad or Master's level and/or independent study to be well prepared for the exams. If the department offers courses for preparation for the exams, in addition plan to take those courses.

(5) Enroll. Become a grad student in the chosen department.

(6) Progress. In your first year, take some courses, especially in subjects you already know well. Continue your research. Pass the qualifying exams. If you see some opportunities for doing some fast publishable research, as co-author, better as sole author, do that. Show the department that you have done publishable research. Then, sure, technically will have done a Ph.D. dissertation (I did that).

(7) Finish. In your second year, finish your research project, stand for an oral exam, and graduate. Of course, if there is any question about your research being publishable, then just PUBLISH it.

Done.

You have no fucking idea what you're talking about me. None. This is about abuse, not cultural values.

This website describes my parents to a T, and myself and my siblings have all had periods of no contact with them. Their cultural values are completely irrelevant, they were simply extremely abusive and refuse to acknowledge it. They tell me that my siblings and we made up our childhood abuse.

My parents cultural values and political leanings are actually extremely liberal (and extremely similar to my own). Everyone in my family of origin are atheists. This is about abuse.
> stick their name on top of your papers.

Maybe you have a more independent mindset having gone into a PhD program a little later than most, but the whole point of a PhD program (at least in the sciences) is that it’s an apprenticeship. You study under an established researcher using their grant, so it’s not “your” paper. You are supposed to work together using grant money from your advisor.

If you have obtained grant funding on your own and are working independently on a novel research project you thought of yourself, then you can call it your paper. But that scenario usually doesn’t happen, because it’s hard to come by funding without a good proposal, and it’s hard to write or qualify for a grant without the training one gets in a PhD program.

If you are working using grant money, lab equipment, lab space, data, models, software, or methods acquired and developed in your advisor’s lab, then even if you write an entire paper yourself it’s still both your names that go on the paper. I’ve had a few like that and was glad to share the credit, because it wouldn’t have been possible otherwise.
When Y2k happened, it also seemed a little ridiculous to laypeople because they thought, "Surely we don't depend on computers that much," and there was still an institutional memory of doing important business on paper. Nobody is under that illusion now.
