I think it varies tremendously by film and director. I guess I wouldn’t say the median marvel film is good at this.

I also happen to think that the best Spider-Man fight scenes were by far the Andrew Garfield ones. Those scenes were incredibly juicy, especially the second, for all its terrible writing and worldbuilding.
This is a distinction without a difference. If someone holds Nazi beliefs and actively works with the Nazi party to achieve Nazi goals, most people would consider these people Nazis even if they didn't sign a bit of paper certifying that fact. Hans Asperger was loyal to the Nazi regime and took (horrible) actions to further the Nazi cause, and was rewarded by Nazi leadership for it.
This is well off the main thread here so please feel free to ignore my request, but as a loving parent of a 3 year-old girl, I worry about when/how do we explain to her what is and isn't okay for adults (and other kids) to do around her, and how she can protect herself, seek help or otherwise handle a situation.

Since you mentioned you were aware of the danger when you were as young as 5 - when and how would you suggest one could help let their daughter know about these risks without inducing some much fear and anxiety that will end up making her avoid too many positive experiences?

Ask HN: Best resources to learn mechanical engineering?
Hey HN!

As a long time motorcyclist I've always wanted to learn more about how engines work, at least to allow me to dabble a bit into my own engines (long time dream has always been to rebuild something for fun).

Aside from going back to college and get a degree in mechanical engineering, what are the best resources to learn about (motorcycle) engines?
So short bitcoin, if you think it's worth nothing. Good luck, acdha. We're both saying it's worth whatever people are willing to pay for it, I'm just acknowledging that happens to be quite a lot.

>but it shows where your misunderstanding lies

I understand market cap is different than the current volume buyers will buy at this moment. You've basically just provided an essay on what market cap is. There's no misunderstanding. Is this supposed to disprove the gigantic valuation assigned to bitcoin?

>Not good for them if they can’t convert into the things they want to buy, and it’s especially risky to leave a signed transaction log for the police when there’s little legal traffic to hide in.

This is why most black markets now use Monero or similar privacy coins. If a currency will buy drugs, then it will always be able to buy money since drugs are worth money.

What will that accomplish? If a putative father is already suspicious (and doesn’t want to be a father), sure, then having a NIPT would make sense. But there is already an avenue for that. You would want to make that mandatory for all pregnancies? Not everyone wants to know that information and having a mandatory test could force people (fathers) into situations they don’t want to be in.

> Yes, but you chose a specific article to post to refute a specific claim.

Yes it does! I think you're misreading OP's post.

What was OP's claim?

>> The most accurate predictor of a person's lifetime income is the income of their parents. Children of wealthy parents are more likely to go to college. It's like saying "People who drive expensive cars in high school make more money over their lifetime, period".

OP's assertion about "best predictor" is true but irrelevant. The interesting question is why?

OP asserts that the answer to that question is literally "for the same reason that rich kids drive BMWs".

OP is asserting that college has the same causal effect as a parent purchasing a BMW for a child. I.e., none at all, it's just a proxy for parental wealth.

That strikes me as an unlikely causal hypothesis.

Could there perhaps be a reason other than parent income that the child of an MD drives a BMW to school? Probably not.

But could there perhaps be a reason other than parent income that the child of an MD does well in their premed program? Seems likely.

And indeed, the above article establishes a causal link that's directly relevant to falsifying that assertion, that college == bmw in terms of causal effect.

Elsewhere, OP asks if the college wage premium persists across family backgrounds. I think perhaps something related to that question is what you perhaps read into their post. But that's not actually the claim they are actually making in that post.

(BTW: CWP and PEP are positive for students from low income backgrounds... these are just numbers you can look up... why am I the thread secretary for basic statistics?)
I would argue of course that a 50-50 split between medicare and the armed forces is totally irrational in the first place :)

It's more an issue of value for money, of course, as US per capita expenditure on medical care is 2x what Canada pays, and still manages not to actually cover everyone. In theory the medicare + medicaid + VA budget should be enough to cover everyone, yet it only covers 40% of Americans.

Which is it: you want them to use the software or not? What do you care if it carries the added label? If they secure your software, stick a label on it and you get to add their changes back to your project if you like them, what's the problem? Normal open source process, in a good way - or do you want open source to be open, but just to people you like?

The only thing you might complain about is the already existing problem that it's damn hard to get paid for writing good open source software, unless you work for a business like these - this doesn't really make that worse though, or at least not for the wrong reasons.
It’s “gated” to ensure that the individual actually possesses those skills and can perform theses tasks safely and comply with safety standards. As someone who's immigrated from the developing world, I can tell you horror stories when it's less regulated. I'm not a fan of regulation, but there is a minimum level needed to ensure trust.
The whole doctrine behind “hypersonic maneuverable missiles” is anti-surface warship fleets, more specifically anti-US naval hegemony. This is why China and Russia have leapfrogged the Pentagon.

Having defensive measures certainly help level off the disparity, but active defense is always harder than offense.
Linear Sequential Unmasking–Expanded: Approach for improving decision making
Now if only my job negotiations were that easy.
The problem is that once someone gives a date, then they are judged based on that date. In some cases, the software stops making financial sense after some multiplier of this initial date.

To avoid estimation you need to avoid dates and avoid projects that have high timeline risks. This means you would need to judge on speed to completion, or better customer satisfaction for project execution.
It's the least you can do when applying for a CS job

I think that's precisely it: it's the least you can do. Students are taught data structures and algorithms because they don't know anything else. They can sort numbers and munge strings... and that's all.

They don't know any frameworks. They don't know any problem domains. They don't know how to debug, or read an API, or identify code smells.

But they have to write something, and if you want that something to be more than three lines long you have to make them do something complicated with the incredibly limited domain of knowledge they have. Thus, data structures and algorithms.

Nobody ever needs to calculate Fibonacci numbers. But if they can't write a recursive descent compiler, or even handle an HTML parser, they have to learn to write recursive code on something. Thus, they do something trivial.

And then they forget it, because they've applied that knowledge to something more useful. Much as you never do long division by hand, even though you had to learn how to, and you would possibly screw it up if handed one now.

A student getting a BS had better know a lot more than the least of it. Test it if you can't think of anything else that might know, but it's not going to tell you if they know anything that matters.

And the engineer with more experience is even less likely to have used that freshman-year stuff recently. As you say, it can tell you that they cared enough to cram it again... but they're cramming it because they don't actually need it.
Very cool!

It's really difficult even for seasoned engineers to grasp the scale of difficulty involved.

Its rocket science
Asking as someone who's never spent significant time/effort working with Gtk/GObject in C (only a bit in Python). Isn't it still generally desirable to have the compiler yell at you, if you can't convince it you know what you're doing? Rather than allowing the possibility of memory corruption.

I do agree that the code in the example is far from beautiful. I wonder if we were to redesign GObject from scratch, if we could make interfacing with Python, Rust, JS, etc a bit less hairy.
> The issue of side effects being downplayed by the media is entirely a response by public health and media to the large amount of disinformation about vaccines.

That's your personal belief that may or may not be representative of reality.

Another possible belief that one might have, that you can find evidence for in reality, is that side effects are being downplayed in order to push vaccine mandates through as a way of exerting political control and/or profits for certain organizations (e.g. Pfizer, which has done a lot of extremely questionable things in the past, like a lot of large pharma companies).

> the reasoning being most people need to hear a simple, straightforward and consistent message to be compliant.

...and this line only adds more evidence to the second belief, as it's exactly what entities wanting control want - people to be "compliant" for its own sake, regardless of reality, ethics, or reason.

In any case, downplaying the side effects is unethical and obviously wrong.

I'd like to see insurers say "due to COVID our costs have gone up but you can get a discount if you're vaxxed." Increasing just for unvaxxed is probably hard but offering an incentive may work.

Where I work we have a mandate and it's like 98% compliance. A few have opted to go 100% remote so they can avoid the vaccine but practically nobody quit over this.

A lot of these articles assume the work being estimated will remain relevant during the estimated timeframe. My last (very large, not FAANG) employer started every project with a hard deadline, estimates were only used for budgeting not time, and then every project changed on a daily basis until it was obvious it would never ship by the deadline which was changed at the last minute. Every single project worked like this (note these projects were for us not external clients). I know of no theory of estimation that can account for continuous change unknown at the start.
With no experience of abuse, you might more likely to be persuaded by arguments like "why didn't she report it earlier" than people with actual experience, who know exactly why.

Not sure what you're envisioning as a "purely domestically-defensive force". For instance, would our Navy just guard our shorelines?

An effective "defensive force" for a nation like the U.S. in today's world needs offensive capabilities.

While degree is arguable, we certainly cannot simply ignore everything else that goes on in the world and expect to retain a viable domestic defense.
Factors in Expert Decision Making: 6 Fallacies and the 8 Sources of Bias
But you could apply this vague feeling (that big companies change the world) to everything.

Is it really Apple's Donald Trump presidency? Google's Democratic Backsliding and Facebook's Climate Change?

I don't think it's useful to distinguish "big tech" in this regard from say, the Military Industrial Complex's outsize influence on our world, or the way Malls bulldozed America's distinctive local businesses, or the way Hollywood decides how much of the world imagines things.

And I especially don't see value in assigning them name ownership of things that were done by large numbers of individuals working together just because it so happens that you find it easier to remember "Google" than say Jana Iyengar or Martin Thomson (editors of QUIC, neither of whom work for Google).

Unlike the W3C corporations can't actually participate in the IETF, which is a human activity and so is done by humans. Corporations can, and do, pay their employees to participate, but everybody is welcome and, as outfits like EDCO discovered, just flooding the IETF with bodies doesn't achieve anything except make you look stupid. (EDCO wanted TLS 1.3 to have defective encryption because it would be easier than doing their jobs properly).
Hooking LUA or similar can introduce a lot of unwanted complexity, be harder for an untrained implementation team member to understand, and be less of an exact fit to the purpose. There are other cases where it makes sense though.

This article isn't very useful for a "one liner radio", but I use icecast2 in a couple of ways

1. I host a VGM radio [1]
2. I use a combination of icecast2 and darkice to have a full home audio networking.

With the home audio network, there's a lot to optimize, but I haven't implemented it much more to experiment with it further.

Basically I have a Ubuntu Desktop VM on my home server.
A long range bluetooth receiver [2] is feed from Proxmox host into the VM.
The audio from the Bluetooth source (say your phone or your computer) is pulled from Darkice and renders an MP3 file/stream into Icecast2, which then broadcasts it on 10.0.0.10:8000/home
I can use devices like Raspberry Pis to continuously listen on that URL for playback and play if it's available. There's CLI audio players like mpg123.

This could be used for whole home audio playback, but there's weird quirks to deal with like the delay between the audio in and when you hear it, as well as it becoming desynced over time.

It can also be setup in reverse where a RPi ingests audio from it's audio jack and sends it to the audio hub VM and the audio hub sends it out to the network.

When you download the font then it is a normal font and that does not happen. On the website, to make it possible to edit the characters in real time I'm drawing the font as SVG behind an invisible textarea; so when the text is edited really the textarea is changing and I'm drawing SVG behind every character to make it look like a textarea with the custom font. I'm curious which browser/OS are you using since I don't see the textarea text when I highlight something.

The "peers" part is obsolete. In the old English system, a peasant was tried by other peasants, a noble by other nobles. There's no longer a notion that some people are your peers and others aren't.
this is the sort of conversation that must be conducted very delicately, but it is something I have also wondered, having had similar experiences myself.

quite a few times I have experienced unwanted sexual advances/touching/groping in public spaces from women I considered friends, in front of our other friends. I don't consider those events traumatic, but certainly uncomfortable at the time. I never knew what to do, so I would just freeze and pretend it wasn't happening. once I actually went through with it and had sex with the person because I felt I had led her on by allowing her initial advances (dumb of me in hindsight).

perhaps one important difference is that I was physically stronger than every one of those people. I could have resisted, but didn't due to (possibly imagined) social pressure. like I said, I don't think there is any lasting trauma over these events; I think of them more as misunderstandings than assaults. but at the same time, all of these women were otherwise quite vocal about feminism, consent, etc. I wonder what they would have called it if I'd done the same things to them.

You'll almost certainly see some short documentary or short subject at some point.

If you’re not a willing participant, then you can still have the test. If you’re the type where if the kid isn’t your biological kid, then you wouldn’t want to be a father to them — then get a test.

The question is — should it be mandatory for all pregnancies? Willing participant or otherwise. I’m not saying no one should have paternity testing. It should certainly be available. I just don’t think you should mandate it.

Here's a good reason: because there's no obvious reason why the vaccine should result in immune-mediated hepatitis (unlike, say, an immune response after receiving it, which is both explainable and (somewhat) desirable). HN is about curiosity and novelty, and this is curious indeed.
Fertility rates plummeting is not necessarily a good thing in the long run, so maybe having kids should be incentivized.
