America's always been a "credo" nation, and has always been pretty explicit about what its credo is. "We hold these truths to be self evident; that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

In other words: freedom, equality, justice, democracy, and self-determination.

America's relationship with religion has always been complex. The first amendment simultaneously guarantees the free practice of religion and enshrines its separation from the state; as a government, the U.S. cannot make any law that preferences a particular religion. Many of the founders were Deists, which is a religion that simultaneously accepts the existence of God but also relies upon empiricism, rationality, and individual thought to divine His will. America is also explicitly not Protestant, and the dominant religion varies a lot from place to place. I grew up in New England, which has a Puritan early history but now is populated by largely Catholic Irish & Italian immigrants. My mom's childhood friends in NYC all seemed to be Jewish. In Utah, it's mostly Mormon.

I'd argue that the main reason America is falling apart is that we've forgotten those core values of liberty, equality, justice, democracy, and self-determination. These have always existed in some tension, but right now we're not doing a particularly good job of any of them. Instead the focus is on capitalism, virtue-signalling, protection from outsiders, preferencing your in-group, forcing your particular morality on others, and many other very human but very un-American activities.
Reprocessing only makes sense if you're going to put that separated plutonium into a fast reactor. MOX fuel's value for LWRs is so marginal that it's not worth reprocessing spent fuel to make it.

Seawater uranium extraction would have to be scaled up by a factor approaching a trillion if nuclear w. LWRs is going to fuel the world (to in excess of 1 million tonnes of natural uranium per year), and it would only last a few thousand years.
I think you and the author are using different definitions of “hero”.

When I read your comment I think of the classic Campbell hero, a presumed universal archetype also familiar, if slightly different from the ancient Greek or Mahabarata heroes. Luke Skywalker was consciously modeled on this definition.

I think the author, despite referring to Yoda, is referring to the American archetype of hero: the lone white gunman on the frontier. The argument against this is that teams are more effective for large projects and teams done work with such a “hero” (NBA teams are great examples of this).

My comment is not about the coherency, or lack thereof, of the post.
Oh absolutely. During the 80’s, when the media was focused on all the problems of the urban ghettoes and the crack epidemic, I thought that if the ghetto is that bleak, and jobs that scarce, escaping to crack or heroin made sense. Crack was real, and the media was probably in scare-people mode, please don’t jump on me. Just what I thought.

We have more people and less need for them than ever. If no one needs you, it’s easier to escape and if you die so what? Not that guys will always be there for their families anyway, but at least most try and without those families, no need to try.

Psychedelic therapy might be the answer. Just a thought.

You should check out google images for piano key clip art. Almost all of them get it wrong. They assume a black key is centered between two white keys, but that is only true for g#.

The width of all keys, white or black, should be equal to one another at the back of the keyboard.

The width of the white keys should be exactly equal to one another at the front of the keyboard.

Those can't both be true (since 5/12 isn't equal to 3/7), so the former has to be fudged a bit.

My formula is in a different comment. :)

Mine is a small company (smaller than yours) doing billable/consulting type work.

Based on HN comments, we tried Rippling, Zenefits, and Gusto. Of the three, Gusto was the best in our assessments (most matched our desired workflows and policies). We use them for payroll & benefits, and do time tracking outside Gusto.

Sad to say, even with this, Gusto leaves a ton to be desired and the other critical comments ring true. With all these startups trying to be the unified HR/Payroll/Benefits/Timekeeping platforms, it's surprising how bad they all still are.

- Plenty of bugs in their benefits system and terrible communications about upcoming benefits deadlines, etc. For this year, our benefits options were all missing their Statements of Benefits and Coverage ("Coming soon" placeholders or somesuch) at the time open enrollment was set to end. We had to call and have them push it back multiple times. At benefits enrollment time, they generate a bunch of inapplicable forms they want employees to sign - this bugginess has been there at least two years and their answer is basically, "Yeah, that's our system. Don't worry, we won't submit inapplicable forms to the carrier, but you still need to sign them to complete enrollment."

- Poor responsiveness for e-mail help requests, and they don't do much to help you if there are problems communicating with the insurance providers for whom Gusto are the brokers.

- Tax filing issues for one of our out-of-state employees.

- Non-customizable e-mail communications. You can't stop them from blasting notifications to your employees about whatever Gusto thinks appropriate. Even if the employee wants it to stop. Also, I'm not a millennial and find their overly casual, cutesy e-mail tone with emojis and all to be quite cloying.

- Limited integrations with other 401(k) providers. Guideline is OK for a completely bare-bones, limited flexibility offering. If you want more flexibility as an employer, most other major providers are not well-integrated with Gusto.

- Their time-tracking is heavily oriented toward low-skill labor, with clocking in, clocking out, etc. It's really ill-suited for high-skilled consulting types. We have to use an outside timekeeping system.

When I have been able to get them on the phone, I am usually able to get things fixed, done, or worked-around. Pretty disappointing, but it seems like many of the companies in this space are. I can't imagine using Gusto at 15+ people. We are basically kicking the can of getting off them, but know they are not a good long-term fit.

> Pattern recognition is less about connecting dots than it is distinguishing and purging the unconnected. When that process goes awry, and we can’t discern disconnections, things like psychosis arise.

Making connections that aren't there, ie failing to purge the unconnected, could be psychosis. The opposite would be: Not making connections, ie purging the connected. That is called low intelligence.

High intelligence is often seen as making connections. Do intelligence and psychosis correlate? (And if you can make someone purge connections, are you lowering their intelligence?)

It's not about hiring a lawyer who flunked the bar. It's more like, how many lawyers are bad lawyers despite passing the bar.

> First of all, most East Asian canons of sacred Buddhist texts — known as Tripitaka and venerated by practitioners in Korea, Vietnam, and Japan — have long been written in Classical Chinese.

Chinese Buddhist texts are famous in the study of ancient Chinese for often (though not always) being not Classical or at least incorporating an atypically large number of vernacular elements. However, to the article's point, they do often remain difficult to read without an understanding of certain Sanskrit-derived Buddhist proper nouns.

If the NFT is the artwork, what does that make any images that the NFT points to?

If the NFT is the artwork, can the hosting providers generously hosting images that the NFT points to rent free remove them or replace them with ads without adversely affecting the NFT?

Or is it that the NFT and hosted images together form the artwork? In which case, did you buy an artwork if you only bought the NFT portion of it? Or did you buy a share in it? And is the image itself a separate artwork in its own right, even if it was included in a combined NFT/image artwork?

Personally, I'd say a NFT sale would deserve to be on the list if the NFT sale also conferred ownership over a piece of artwork. In which case, the NFT portion is just as irrelevant as a VISA transaction receipt. Keep the artwork, sell the receipt to a sucker while they are still there. Maybe get sued for fraud by someone who thought they were buying the artwork.

See my comment about how to calculate the piano key geometry (or just paste in my numbers) if you want your piano diagram to have correct placement of the keys (black keys shouldn't bisect the two adjacent white keys.... it makes the white key "stems" really narrow between black keys and looks weird).
Then they invented the DOM.

I love the DOM but most developers would rather jump off a bridge than write some logic to walk a DOM. I have never understood why there is so much fear about the DOM, why that fear is so astonishingly prevalent, or the extremes people will go to in order to sidestep this phobia. So curious because this is a subject that takes about 2 hours to learn after which your career takes a different trajectory.
Another reason I think forgetting is so important to continuous learning is that if new ideas conflict with accepted ideas, it will be more difficult to integrate them. Like adding to a map or puzzle where the boundaries don't mesh. So by having fewer deeply held beliefs, new ideas are free to enter and coexist. You can also compartmentalize to some extent like superpositions of possibilities where each one can have new consistent information added without regard to how it conflicts with other possibilities. Not that I have a clue if this is a good example (or advisable) but a physicist could learn both loop quantum gravity and string theory and relate them both to understanding our world and keeping them separate could be helpful for learning.

My own experience: I play guitar, I like to think I play very well and lots of people have praised my playing. I do it in bursts, spending lots of time playing and practicing and recording for a stretch of some months then I… don’t play at all.

Life makes that cadence happen as much as anything, but all of my significant strides forward in technique and creative breakthrough have come shortly after breaking long dry spells. And that’s not to say there haven’t been disappointing breaks where everything feels cumbersome or fruitless. But all of my noticeable improvements playing have come after a significant stretch of time not playing, even if they were followed by significant time practicing.
From WVI: "...,In this study, we investigated the receptor usage of the SL-CoV S by combining a human immunodeﬁciency virus-based pseudovirus system with cell lines expressing the ACE2 molecules of human, civet, or horseshoe bat... Several important observations were made from this study... Third, the chimeric S covering the previously deﬁned receptor-binding domain *gained its ability to enter cells via human ACE2*, albeit with different efﬁciencies for different constructs. Fourth, a minimal insert region (amino acids 310 to 518) *was found to be sufﬁcient to convert the SL-CoV S from non-ACE2 binding to human ACE2 binding*..."

This is *published research*.

This argument is always brought up - "it was used centuries ago, so it's still valid now!"

Except: all normal human beings trip up on it; those who believe in the they/them BS trip up on it; and almost no one who uses this argument supports other things that were done centuries ago, so it's not really arguing in good faith.

Arranged marriages at very young ages were a thing centuries ago, should we bring those back?

Sure! We understand that JavaScript and frameworks are nice to have but it feels like everyone depends on them too much these days.

It would be pretty cool if someone that has never made a website before, learned a little HTML, wrote an index.html, and published it on the www. Maybe that person never learns CSS, JS, or any framework and that's totally fine. We think that the simplicity and directness of HTML is what makes it powerful.
So with a sample of 1 you declare another sample of 1 as false with enough confidence for an online press release. I don't know, this kind of statement does not sound right to me. I would expect for plenty of samples of 1 to be different unless I can be sure the distribution of possible results is really narrow and limited. Both cats and the context (how long were they out, when was the last meal - digesting creates heat, how cold is it, etc.) have quite a large number of possibilities.

>Over the next few years, the majority of 5G will be on the 2496 to 2690 MHz

Of course it will be because of the above mentioned problems. There is no way they'll be able to put up that many antennas any time soon, it will be a slow process. Those frequencies you cite are about the same as current 4G, with only the latter being slightly but not significantly higher. It's part of the reason people who try 5G end up disappointed it's not as fast as they expected.

The question is who is this actually a good deal for? Do consumers understand they're going to pay those hundreds of billions? Do they understand 5G means having antennas all over the place? And do they understand the privacy concerns? Most in my experience do not. I also find it interesting that right from the start there was a ton of noise in the news about "conspiracy theorists" fearing 5G for ridiculous nonsense reasons. Just the sort of thing you'd expect from a black propaganda campaign. But there was few talk about the actual tech, no talk about who decides these standards and why the entire world is supposed to sign up.

Do people know for example a Huawei guy is chairing the group that's bringing us wlan sensing with a noval 802.11bf wifi standard as well? So the milimeter scanners will be in our homes and outdoors as well. In my experience almost no one outside of niche tech bubbles knows anything about this. They just know faster internet good, they have no idea about the politics behind all this.

Cats like to have a perch to see the comings and goings in their territory, at least during the day. I believe in the big viral photo the cats in the dish have a heated cathouse nearby, which they only use at night.
I still can't fathom why anyone thinks it's OK to leave cats outside to roam free. They decimate the songbird population and kill for fun. You want to talk about low-hanging fruit to protect mother nature? Keep your cats inside or tethered if they're outside... we expect it from dog owners, and rightly so. Not sure why people with cats think they should be free to roam.
