Negative numbers are just like the positive ones, but kind of... the opposite. Like the indentation formed if you pressed the positive number into clay or sand or something. It's like they want to be filled or take away from something else rather than adding onto other forms.

As indicated in an answer on ifixit, I plan to put screws in dedicated containers with marked down sticky notes. But I can't afford a blank screen after reassembly,though this should probably indicate to recheck some display bus connections, as I will need to disassemby the display module too to repair the left bottom frame part and the hindge.
I also have a second ASUS notebook, it is minimally functional for work (4GB RAM, with USB ports and the audio port unstable function probably due to exposure to air humidity). But there's Ubuntu 16.04, which is mainly locked up by tripwire (probably a tiger Linux app extension) requiring a passphrase after multiple incorrect attempts of entering the user password.

This is oddly reminiscent of the justification Osama bin laden gave for 9/11 and it's a bit shocking. Why would Americans civilians be "innocent" and just happily go about their daily lives while middle eastern cities were bombed and Muslims were routinely killed by the American military?

I will often ask them to do/assist in, the thing they think is missing or needs to be done. Sometimes this actually works and you can work positively together, often not though.

Typically, asking them to do any additional work gets met with silence and a few days/weeks of being left along by this person. i.e. minimizing future interactions.
I meant that if you were running something like Discord where you have users who over a year make $100s worth of notifications then that use case doesn't match the pricing model compared to a use case where you are dealing with a few users (where one @ doesn't refer to thousands of people)
You were against the Iraq war; you are not pro sanctions against the US people because their government committed war crimes. That's the entire point.

Also it's pretty apparent that you view a white life is greater than a brown life and you view invading middle eastern countries as something that's okay and are going to justify no matter what, so there really is no point in this discussion.

The french costs keep going up.

The problem with nuclear is that smart people sit around thinking up all the 1% ways that the plant could meltdown and making iterative changes to designs to mitigate them. Managers generally approve them since its better not to be the person making the call on something that caused a meltdown as long as the increase in the cost is marginal. The sum total of a lot of marginal increases in the cost though is a negative learning curve.

Solar and wind don't have this because nobody worries about a solar plant blowing up and contaminating the surrounding countryside and cost a trillion dollars to clean up, so it keeps getting cheaper.
Seems like a pretty custom configuration. Anything this custom with root is bound to have some hiccups.
Sorry but you're trying to correlate unrelated concepts here. It still holds true that humanity has never been more informed about events in almost real-time. Sure the media wants to make profit, but that doesnt change the fact that a nuclear power is blowing up civilians right next to mainland Europe right now.
My big problem with GATE programs, as they were implemented at SFUSD, is the question of what happens to the kid at the 89%ile.

I am not at all against elite education, nor do I believe everyone should proceed roughly at the same pace. But I am very wary of an approach that imposes a bimodal solution onto what is almost certainly a more normally distributed population.

There are various ways this was implemented over the last 50 years. When I was in the SFUSD gifted program in the late 1970s, I believe it was done by some kind of IQ assessment. When my own kids were in SFUSD in the late 2000s, they took the top 10% of each class, as defined by test scores on the STAR test, which is an academic test. There were a few ways to test in (both verbal and reading in the top 10%, or one or the other in the top 10% two years in a row, or nominated by a teacher - there may have been a few others).

Ok, but then what happens to the kid who scored 89%ile consistently? Are we getting behind a solution that takes the top 10% off into a class which is taught at the 95%ile, and then leaves the 89%ile student to now be taught at the 45%ile?

Even people who support more advanced learning for more advanced students must see a problem here. Seems like we need a better solution. The top 10% isn't the only group that may benefit from a specifically tailored curriculum.
My personal stance is "no" as an entrepreneurial doer. While the masses consume the topic du jour served up in an all you can eat fashion by the very systems mentioned from the article there are those that still press on. Even before today's most recent topic du jour there still existed countless issues to which solutions are needed, some being extreme in both time and financing. As the world continues to move forward in time, do note that I did not say progress, over that passage of time will come new ideas and techniques from those who challenge themselves to solve their own problems first. The world is certain to be confronted with more and more challenges set by the diversity and growth of the world's population however even in the midst of the disagreements every single one of the world's inhabitants will still require the same exact resources to survive. Thus significant opportunities are everywhere, one just needs to focus their time.
Yeah, kids don't fail grades anymore but are just passed ever upward, and many schools have incompetent admin (of all the things I was wrong about as a kid, turns out school administrators are, on average, even dumber than I thought they were back then—it's shocking, really) who insist on completely worthless discipline schemes, among other bad ideas. Can confirm all that's true.

So then you're a teacher with a bunch of 6th graders, say, 2/3 of whom are one or more grade levels behind on at least one subject, but that material's not what will be on the test that'll be used to evaluate your performance. The right thing to do is to go back and fill in the gaps for those kids, but you don't have the time, and showing them enough of this year's material that they might at least get a few answers on the standardized test correct is safer for your career anyway.

It sucks.
> Everyone still thinks of them as representing Russia though, especially if you just let them be called "Russian Olympic Committee" or similar.

Citation needed. If I see someone playing chess, or any game for that matter, then I assume they represent the flag that they're playing under is what the represent. If I see someone playing under a non-Russian flag, it doesn't matter how Russian their name sounds - I don't consider them to be representing Russia in any capacity - they could have been born in India, a French citizen, ethnically Ethiopian, and just given that name by their parents, for all I know.

(and, if I look into them further, and discover that they're a Russian citizen and they're intentionally not playing under a Russian flag, there's no way I'll think that they're representing Russia)

Please find me examples of people who do not believe this, because the idea that "Everyone still thinks of them as representing Russia though" is both deeply weird and completely illogical to me, and I've never met someone who agrees with it.
Clarity "Hello, World" Deployed on Stacks mainnet
Clarity is a relatively new language that brings smart contracts to Bitcoin.

It is decidable which means programs must necessarily terminate. It is interpreted and broadcasted on the network as-is.

Clarity is being actively developed by Stacks, Hiro, & Algorand. — Here’s how to deploy a "Hello, World!" smart contract on Stacks mainnet.
20 years ago I’d have agreed.

Now? Now my gut feeling is that climate change is mostly going to be OK — bad stuff will still happen, but I don’t expect catastrophic variation from what would’ve happened otherwise, because PV is rapidly growing in quantity (literally exponentially) and batteries are rapidly getting cheaper.

Plenty of other unsustainable things about our economy besides greenhouse gases of course.

But I’m more worried than I used to be about journalists and propagandists both separately A/B testing their ways to the most potent methods to effect specific emotional affects, at which point we all go to war because of something which despite being objectively stupid is also something which enough people feel is a fundamental truth of nature they’re willing to kill and to die for.

I don't see his way of viewing numbers as particularly efficient. It's very inn-efficient. It's an anomaly for sure but I would hesitate to call it a talent or super human ability.

I would argue his way of thinking of numbers makes him slower at doing calculations.

When you create a 2D visual representation of a number system you want to choose a shape that has the same properties as numbers. Namely the shape must be monoidal under composition. This allows you to keep one type of shape

For example (int + int = int). When you compose two triangles together you get a parallelogram, so triangles are actually kind of bad as you would need to classify several different types as numbers. (triangle + triangle = parallelogram) The only shape that I can think of that is monoidal under arithmetic composition is rectangular quadrilaterals with at least two parallel sides.

Examples: Rectangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids each can be composed to form another shape in its own class. With rectangles likely being the most efficient representation as they are fully symmetrical (to compose two trapezoids to form a new trapezoid one trapezoid has to be inverted, this does not happen with rectangles).

So his even number visual representation is quite good (it uses blocks) but his odd number representation is all over the place and seems arbitrary. Just look at 9. It involves "orange peeling" another number just to shove it into the little dent. His system involves mutating, rotating and changing the shape of each "number" in order to perform composition. This costs more "brainpower" to do and is the main reason why I don't classify his ability as a "gift".

It's highly inefficient. I think many HNers are mistaking it for a super human ability. I don't agree. This is more of an interesting ability then it is a talent.

But that's just a guess. Would actually like to see a quantitative measure of how fast he is at adding numbers under his system. This would definitively answer the question.
The SaaS founders are blocking their Russian customers

In the last few days, I started to see many founders from the US and the EU claiming they've blocked their Russian customers even though there is nothing mentioned in their policy and their terms of use.

According to this, can the Russian customers sue those founders?

That description is eerily close to how I feel. Seven for me is definitely a very "loosely bound" number, and it wants to separate along the three and the four.
I was late to the romance game myself. I think it all really comes down to confidence. You have to really like the person you are in order to be comfortable with yourself. Once you obtain that it is like a switch is flipped and women pick up on it and you will be the one getting hit on. You also will no longer be upset if people are not into you, you will know your worth and understand that there are literally billions of options in this world for you.

Also if you aren't very confident you are probably misinterpreting many signals that women are giving you both positive and negative.

My advice is get any mental coaching/counseling that is required. Hire a strength coach and get your ass to the gym. Learn to be good with money. Once you are a healthy capable human being love will find you. You may also go the other way and become a playboy lol, which isn't really good for your soul if you really want to settle down.
If I hadn't been able to attend a "gifted" program, which has since been shut down, I would have been stuck in a rural D-class system that would not have served me at all.

It depends on what you want to do with the law degree. If you want to be in some highly coveted position, then you need a big name. Otherwise, there are plenty of state schools.

It is more complex. Fuel is heavily taxed in Europe so double price will be not double, maybe 50% increase. Still bad but not too bad.

Imperative purity.
I don't think we can clearly state covid deaths were counted correctly.

There are many odd thing with the numbers, eg. no-one died of the flu during covid because they were all counted as covid, not to mention the emergency measures (I know of at least 2 european countries where this happened) that allowed even just presumption of covid to be counted as covid deaths, without a proper autopsy or the financial incentive that some hospitals / state actors had in having a certain number of covid deaths in order to get compensation.

The age at which people died also matters. If covid just sped up the death of old people we lost significantly less years of life as a society than when young soldiers die.

Overall if we focused on improving cardiovascular diseases or traffic related deaths instead of scrambling making emergency vaccines for covid, I believe we would have saved more years of life as a whole.

Nuclear threats are just threats - if anyone actually fire nukes both sides would die.

They're great for making your enemy panic and don't bother you during invasions, though.

> More Americans have died from COVID than all American soldiers lost in combat in all military engagements combined in our history, and we like our wars

What happens to that comparison if you look at years of life lost rather than deaths that coincided with a covid infection?

I don't know, but I have to assume it's not even close. Covid seemed (in the average case, of course there were exceptions) to push people who were near their life expectancy over the edge, whereas war takes young people with full healthy lives ahead of them and either kills or permanently damages them.
How to properly stop web services on K8s without dropping connections
There are good individual / household tips here, but the best long-term success strategy, imho, is to have a community of relatively self-sufficient people with you.

Weak response. Its this kind of weak response that got us to the point of russia invading a peaceful neighbor. They know the response would be weak.

IMHO, shut off their internet, send their economy and comms back to the effin dark ages. Block all flight over Russian air space (we can legit shoot planes down from well outside the country). See if putin survives 6 months then. Russians like comfort. Russians like a modern life. Strip it from them for their actions. They will fight to get it back on their own soil.

Until them. F russia. F putin. F the russian people for letting this happen. They are complacent. They are responsible. The behavior you walk past is the standard you set.

Of the people training on this topic, David Snyder is one of very few who is teaching mixed audiences of men and women. He's made many videos on Youtube about human communications and so far as I can tell he knows what he is talking about more than anybody:

almost everyone who is teaching to men is a bullshit artist who is exploiting a homosocial community of men talking to other men who aren't primary interested in relationships with women but are trying to raise their status with other men.

Those articles are lying by omission, and so are you.

Trump was certainly looking at getting out of NATO, which he saw as an arrangement where the US increasingly foots the bill for protecting other members. He openly criticised European dependence on Russian oil and gas, and Germany in particular for not paying their fair share towards defence.

There's a fantastically awkward video [1] of him explaining all of this directly to NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg. Germany announced this week that it will do exactly what Trump said it should: massively increase military spending [2] and decrease its dependence on Russia for energy [3].

Who is more useful to Putin? Trump, who told Europe to get its ass in gear and treat Russia as a threat, or the stooges you support, whose selfishness and complacency emboldened Russia to carry out this invasion?
