There may be some linguistic benefits to the "epsilon" formulation when discussing subconvexity rather than Lindelof. For instance, I think "the output is eventually bounded by 24% of the input" sounds more natural than "the limsup of output/input approaches something less than 24%".
Paying $10 to not have to format something even once is a good deal, especially if I can just send out a link.
I will say generally web applications would be like the impressionist painting and native apps the exacting 3d work if we use a more obvious criterion for the analogy.
Fair enough - I believe philanthropists is what they call themselves. I think I used it slightly pejoratively. They are indeed businessmen who made enough money to then donate a portion of it to philanthropy (both good and some bad) after they made their billions and rebranded themselves as philanthropists.
That's not what he said. It doesn't matter which party wins. The issue would be if representatives of any party end democracy, which he outlined in short how it could be done - and some of the representatives of the "other party" have expressed real interest in performing those actions.
I agree that it may be probable, on the evidence that the angry crowd built a gallows and was chanting 'Hang Mike Pence'

Seems a bit overstating how important these little annoyances are. It's fair criticism, but I don't see how they discredit MacOS as a whole.

I used to use Windows, did the linux things for while, now ~6 years MacOS and for me it has been great and still is.

There are some quirks (like all OS's have), but in my day to day, no serious complaints.
> Go in, lay waste, get out

Lay waste to what? Ukraine? They're the country we're supposed to be worried about Russia invading here...

> Yet somehow there is less of what you call harmful balls.

Ok, maybe you understand it better if I reformulate: When you choose to remove more harmless "balls" and less harmful "balls", it means you support the latter, even if both numbers decreased. How else would you call it if not supporting? Those got money and resources which they should not have obtained.

> Yet somehow there is less of what you call harmful balls. What happened to them if they weren't removed?

In this hypothetical case, they would be also be unreasonably supported, even stronger. It's better now than that, but not nearly good enough.

Personal attacks are against HN rules. It's always easy to claim that the opponent is stupid and you are a genius. Try to understand instead (as I do).
The take away isn't to always listen, but to not always exaggerate/lie. The reader never got impacted by the wolves, the speaker did. So in the end, maybe the ones impacted will be the media, not the readers.
This is a non sequitur. This is to prevent reactivation of a dormant infection. With SARS-Cov2 we're talking about reinfection.
Excellent questions. Perhaps because the people were in jail with me and were clearly regularly getting caught and prosecuted led to any fledgling ideas of organization being disrupted?
You've gotten a ton of feedback already, but: Please do! Don't try to make it perfect. Just publish it. As the saying goes: "The perfect is the enemy of the good." Release the code you used to get YOUR results. You can always improve it later if it turns out people end up really interested in it.

(FWIW, I'm a professor at an R1 university. I give this advice to all of my Ph.D. students and strongly, strongly encourage them to put their code out there on our github.)
It was an exemption to State Covid-19 rules, not an exemption to enter the country. Him and his team are purposefully muddying the waters with this exemption in an attempt to bully the country into letting him in, even though he's violated their laws and is not following their regulations.
We don't support Go on Micros yet. Not enough demand atm but we love Go and planning to support it once we have the capacity.
There's a bit of definition slippage in this comment.

When people assert that democracy was in danger, they don't mean that it was in danger solely from the rioters. In general (and I'm sure there are exceptions to this), they mean it was in danger because of the Trump administration.

So no, this assertion does not imply that "taking control of the US is as easy as just sending a regiment over by boat."
For me the /t/ in Latin is a glottal stop. Where are you from?

> Pronouncing it as [t] isn't often outside the acceptable range, or something that makes you sound too foreign.

I don't know about that. I'm pretty sure someone pronouncing the /t/ in "butter", "little", etc. as [t] would make me very confident that they weren't American.
I was hoping nobody would say that :( I guess I should tell him.
Indeed. It's a great service even though it suffers from the same problems as everything based on licensing. People who don't like it must not remember the days where you had to download and apply 5 incremental patches to video games before you could play online. I would buy games on Steam just to get the library management and automatic updates.

The truth is most copyright holders offer absolute garbage service to consumers and the only reason they're still in the market is it's illegal to compete with them.
I think a mob breaking into a guarded building is well above the threshold for violence personally. They were vocal about looking for her. They hated her. You’re welcome to think otherwise.
The USSR had alternate models to move to. What alternate model does the US have? The only ones that are somewhat successful are Russian and Chinese style authoritarianism, neither of which are palatable to the US population.
> The rioters came fairly close to getting to the senators. Suppose the mob found Nancy Pelosi?

"Fairly close" to me would likely involve more of the rioters being shot. The fact that so few were shot indicates that the state was largely keeping their gloves on, which they would not if there was any risk of a senator actually being killed.
Funny how you think this is a political theater but you do not acknowledge the anger stroking speeches from Trump and appearances of Republican senators on Fox news claiming widespread election fraud and forcing Pence and congress in not certifying election as not a serious matter.
if congress is investigating a 'crime' then it is overreach because that is not the responsibility of congress. congress has investigatory powers like the subpoena power in order to help it make decisions about passing law. it is not meant to use this power primarily to pursue individuals.
As a person involved in this space, if there's ever an RFC for full-on f-strings there's a good chance that I'd be the one who writes it, and I can tell you for certain that I would not make `f"foo"` incur an allocation; it would return a std::fmt::Arguments rather than a String.
No risk of socialism taking over?
This is a list of "things" in the cloud native space. Some of them are from CNCF members and some aren't. Some are paid products and services while other things are entirely free and open source.

Many (most?) of the things are tied to organizations and they try to show information on those organizations.

The CNCF doesn't have certified partners. It is a sub-foundation of the Linux Foundation and a non-profit. The CNCF does have members. Some of them are vendors and some are end users. Things listed in the landscape don't need to be from a member.
Damn, thanks for the heads-up. I even wonder about things like batteries too. There are probably hundreds of categories that are ripe for fakes that are not easily detectable.
I cannot fathom…

My closes reference is a PIC16F that I used to program in 8bit assembly, but the thing was 8MHz, and I only blinked an LED! :)
It's not just ad impresssions. Your video at that time would be shown to many more people if it was of around that duration.
And in so doing you advocate that people read a book written by a British Hereditary Lord climate change denier and a Molecular biologist? I don't think there is a misunderstanding.
I think it’s more likely the Democratic party collapses.

They can’t seem to find a single thing to unify on.
US claims Russia planning ‘false-flag’ operation to justify Ukraine invasion
We have a chain of command in our government for when people die. First the President, then the Vice President, then the Speaker of the House, then the Secretaries in a predefined order, and so forth. Plus, the Secret Service (which protects the president) includes considerations for, say, Nuclear Bombing of the capitol and who would take over leadership if such a disaster should happen.

If the rioters had succeeded in murdering every single person in the capital building, there would have been a protocol in place with the leader already determined. The only way this would have been successful is if the rioters killed every single elected official and secretary in the building, followed by having the support of the Army. They were absolutely nowhere near that.
One, in theory could shield of them, by having the same field apply from the opposing direction and distance. So if one could create such a "mirror" copy of all attractors - one would have a L1 Lagrange point. The forces still interact, but chancel each other out.
> I liked buying the blu ray because my internet speed isn't great

This is mostly an issue when streaming, which I prefer not to do for that reason. When I've had slow connections, torrenting a movie has generally been fine as I just let it run overnight.
Original article and discussion on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29825612
Literally none of this is about censorship. I know it’s inconvenient but you have to read the actual articles posted, not just the headlines.

I have heard of them and I am nowhere near those circles or even the news sites all that much. They are a rather infamous org (that’s not a good thing).

It sounds like you keep moving the goal posts (“I have not seen any evidence… ok I have seen the evidence but it’s not good enough evidence… ok there is evidence but it wasn’t enough people…”) so I am not going to keep replying but I urge you to read first, post second.
Jane being able to predict how Joe will react most of the time turns out to be super useful in real life.

Sure it fails sometimes, but nobody would voluntarily give up that ability.
>After years of swelling deficits fed by incessant warfare in distant lands, in 2020, as long expected, the U.S. dollar finally loses its special status as the world's reserve currency. Suddenly, the cost of imports soars. Unable to pay for swelling deficits by selling now-devalued Treasury notes abroad, Washington is finally forced to slash its bloated military budget.

It's funny and interesting that the military budget is such a common punching bag. The defense budget is a pretty small percentage of the overall outlays. Yet people continue to act like it's the single line item that is holding America back.

Here's where the American federal government spent money in 2020.

* $1T on unemployment compensation and paycheck protection program

* $1.1T on social security

* $1.2T on medicare and medicaid

* $1T on "other" which includes federal employee retirements and welfare programs

* $900B on non-defense discretionary spending on thing such as housing assistance, transportation, and education.

...and then, finally, we get to defense spending at $700B.

The budget deficit for FY2020 was $3.1T. Maybe the military budget is so high it is causing a ripple in the multiverse that makes arithmetic different in this universe. Maybe if we cut $300B from the military budget in our universe it will even out to $3T because magic.
Sounds like they’re asking for the government to subsidize the maintainable of their dependencies
In this case, the Republican party is objectively authoritarian - and arguably neofascist. For all of the faults of the Democrats (and there are many) they are not actively hammering on the foundations of Democracy. Their leader did not just attempt to overthrow an election. They aren't actively undermining the ability to vote, or trying to put corrupt officials in place who will overthrow elections that don't go their way. The Republicans have done or are doing all of these things.

I can say that would be a serious matter, but the hype about how it was going to kill our democracy because of some rioters is overblown nonsense.
It should be made clear that the promise not to extend the boundaries of NATO was an informal understanding, it was not written into any treaty, and was made by someone without the authority to ensure that would actually happen. JCPOA aside, there's plenty of treaty-breaking that Russia has engaged in. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Ukraine wound up with a large supply of nuclear weapons on its soil, making it the country with the world's third largest nuclear weapons stockpile. Ukraine agreed to give up those nuclear weapons to Russia, on the condition that Russia not violate its territorial sovereignty, in the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances. The annexation of Crimea is a clear violation of that agreement (maybe Ukraine will ask for its nukes back). There's also the INF treaty, which the Russians violated with variants of their Iskander missile system. Granted, the Trump administration decided to piss in the proverbial swimming pool rather than try to get Russia back into compliance, but Russia did genuinely start this.

> And it's worth noting that the Russian troops are all still in Russia (apart from the troops in Crimea, and the surrogates in eastern Ukraine).

To be clear, more than a few Russian soldiers have been captured in eastern Ukraine, it's not just surrogates fighting.

> I'm not for a moment trying to defend Russian bellicosity in Georgia, Ukraine and Crimea. I'm just noting that it's understandable, given repeated Western violations of promises and treaties.

I really don't see how military actions in those places is "understandable," in the context of "Western violations". Annexing Crimea did nothing to improve Russia's security against NATO. If anything it hurt Russia's place in the international community and hardened NATO against it. Keep in mind that they didn't annex Crimea because Ukraine was thinking of joining NATO, it's because they were thinking of joining the EU. This isn't about security concerns, this is about maintaining regional hegemony over Eastern Europe.
Well, then, it would have been a massacre, but democracy still wouldn't have died. We have a chain of command that has been clearly defined - President, then Vice President, then Speaker of the House, then all of the Secretaries in a specific order, and so on.

Unless they managed to get the Army, or the Nuclear Codes, or something greater than just controlling a building, they would have needed to kill the President, the Vice President, and every single House and Senate member (including those not in the building) and then get control of the Army or Popular Support or something massive to have a shot. I don't think they were anywhere close with that.
Genome Research made me publish the code used for the data analysis, requiring a zip of the repo for archiving.

The thing is that I was required to provide a way to reproduce, so code obfuscated and/or uncommented were not a problem. I provided clean code anyway.
Ray Dalio is an international treasure. When I watch the Davos videos he often seems like the only one who's not in a quiet state of panic.
> None of the technological developments created since then [2010] are able to mitigate an oil shock of the kind described in the article given their current deployment levels.

May I suggest the combination of hydraulic fracturing with centimeter-precise horizontal drilling allowing oil producers (many of whom are badly run, granted) to access massive crude and natural gas resources previously unreachable?
It's theft in great amounts of money. Fines are necessary but not sufficient. There should be prison time.
hasn't Tor performance improved over the years? i mean, it still doesn't make sense to use torrents over it, but for ssh and maybe some light file transfer it should be enough, no?
Yes, rental cars stick out like a sore thumb so keep some cash on you. It is usually easy to negotiate them down by 50% though!
For some reason I'm under the impression that onion services were discoverable, or partially discoverable by relay operators, or some such. IT's been quite awhile though and I think there was some talk of changing that.

Does anyone know if that has changed? Last time someone suggested to me, which was several years ago, it didn't seem to have the security properties the person suggesting the approach thought it had, specifically that tor was adding security via the onion service.

Anyone have up to date information?
When you can't address basic Maslow levels (food, housing, etc.) financially, you definitely are incapable to supporting top level Maslow levels which are central to innovation, creativity and improvement.

The SF Bay Area crossed over that boundary a fairly long time ago.

I finally gave up in 2016 after being born and raised in California and have decades of Tech career in the SF Bay Area. It's no longer viable for ACTUAL innovation there. For the most part there is no technology innovation happening in SF Bay Area Tech companies anymore. There is plenty of revolutionary political innovation but nothing in technology and the direction of that is distinct ANTI-innovative.

Innovation no longer requires being in the SF Bay Area to be achieved. My recent formation of a new Tech company (in 2016 in upstate NY) and sale/exit in 2018 proves it to me. YMMV of course.
Depends if you want the public to be able to apply your research or if you want to keep the "competitive advantage" to yourself. If your research was funded by public grant money, then I think you owe it to the public.
The point is that given a solution to protein folding, we can then compare that solution with current theory and even physically test it. The search space is enormous but individual solutions are physically deterministic.

This is a good application of ML since there is an independent “check” on its work. And it’s hard to call it “the end of theory” when theory is still tightly coupled with the system, just at the back end instead of the front end.

That is not true of many applications of ML, like Facebook, which simply spit out solutions at scale with no way to independently check them. We should not think the same way about all ML systems; there is a lot more to it than just the neural network.

What does this have to do with vaccine mandates? Vaccines do NOT prevent you from getting it or spreading the disease.

Weird how these heavily vaccinated countries are still getting slammed by covid. And what do you really think it must be those stubborn unvaccinated people?

We as society would be better off if we pretended it was just like the common cold, and guess what, you might get sick and die, but most likely you’ll have some cold symptoms.

If someone has a positive covid test but no symptoms, I’d rather have them over to my house than the person with a negative covid test and mild cold symptoms.
This is very likely nonsense (I'm not a creator or know any well), but I believe monetization starts around the ten minute marker

If the video is suspiciously close to that and a fairly 'hot' topic (likely to garner clicks), I immediately become suspicious that the video is there for ad revenue and little else
I think it's worth mentioning that the executive branch of the US government, including the president of the US, were supporting the rioters. In my opinion, this is part of the reason why the capital was not more secure.

It may be more difficult for another country, like England, to get that kind of support from the executive branch of the US government.

Full-Stack Software Engineer with a background in education (teacher, teaching assistant, tutor). Over 10 years of experience in web/graphic design and development in HTML, CSS, and Vanilla JS. Passionate about education, personal development, and design - and especially where they may intersect. Currently seeking an entry-/mid-level frontend or fullstack development position.
As someone making a career in academia, I recognize both pros and cons here, but I think that the pros far outweigh the cons. Essentially, I think the question is one of identity - do you want your reputation to be "This investigator is the kind of person who's code is always available"? I know that as I evaluate job applications, funding proposals, or papers, I weigh this reputation highly, and consider the opposite "This investigator is the kind of person that hesitates to share their code" to be a big red flag.

BUT, I have definitely encountered the situation where I read a paper, then looked at the associated code, and found that the exciting result was entirely because of a bug. The reputation, "This investigator is someone who does shoddy, error-prone work" is probably the worst possible one.
Not sure why you think Ron desantis qualifies as an authoritarian. Also you admit the GOP will win the elections and Biden is a loser. Sounds pretty democratic. Predicting that the republican majority will inevitably establish an autocracy is birther level Dem propaganda. You shouldn't watch MSNBC.
Wow, he really went nuts with the ascenders and descenders.
It seems to me that if it would take two months to replicate the actual mechanism, you're doing the world a favor by publishing what that two months of work resulted in.

If you want to do the world or further favor, get a grad student to read it first and indicate where they cannot follow the code. In my brief stint in academia, I saw very little overlap between brilliant theoreticians coming up with novel approaches and code to support them and people who knew how to write readable code.

Any democracy is that fragile... if the leader of a party directs (gives cover to) his mob to disrupt official certification proceedings.
Realistically what would have happened is many rioters en masse would have been killed by security forces which would have become a big political issue.
