What is that claim based on? I think they have alot of presence here in Europe. I doubt it would be economically to transfer too much data over the atlantic.

This is probably a good thing. HN discussions about geopolitics are usually poor.

But I share your curiosity on the seeming lack of discussion, or on another level, organisation. I feel disturbed by Russia indiscriminately murdering people, and threatening the end of civilisation, all conducted with gleeful mendacity. They have also shut off a large proportion of global food supply which developing nations rely on. I feel I should be doing something about it, but I don’t know what to do.

But in the end, HN is just a bunch of people on the internet.
Education is a Hard Problem TM because the knowledge of those links isn't useful without sufficient existing knowledge, and you need to introduce things in a way such that the things you hand-wave away are tolerable knowledge gaps. Knowing that a CDF is an integrated PDF isn't useful for someone who doesn't even have a notion of what a PDF is. Describing a state machine that satisfies conditions X Y Z as an Abelian group is similarly not useful for someone who doesn't have an intuition for groups or fields.

My claim is that, given the finite amount of time allotted to mathematics in a secondary school curriculum, it's better to spend that time learning about medians/means, regressions, statistical tests, and so forth, instead of memorizing power laws and derivatives of trigonometric functions.

Lots of studies show names matter when getting a job, few suggest you change it, to something less ethnic for instance.

I also know hard names I will not say so I don't make a mistake, so I won't personally address that person, which will make the relationship more difficult.

It's interesting. Changing your name can increase your power. Hollywood has known this for year. Few people do it.

"Touch" by Claire North makes you really think about this in the digital age. IRL you have a body, so names are more detached, but as we go digital, names are all you have... currently. In the book the protagonist has an ephemeral body, so what is a person in that case?

> A lot of his BOM are components from China. His conclusion is that you cannot trust in any way their CE marking. Some pass, others don't. They are all marked. You need to test yourself.

yeah, that's tricky. Testing whether an ESP32 complies with CE sounds very difficult and pricy. I suppose if they are bought in the EU though that it's up to the supplier that you buy it from to make sure it's CE compliant.

> For EMI, it's hard and expensive. Specialized companies will test and certify your device, but this is too expensive.

Yeah, I actually did find a UK-based test lab that does it more cheaply. Indeed I planned to send my device there and mainly just verify EMI for CE conformance of my device. It's good to get some confirmation that this is the main test required.

> the number of nuclear incidents of that scope can be counted on one hand,

Yes, and people are proposing greatly increasing the number of reactors.

> and at least the Fukushima one was a result of poor planning.

So you're saying we just need to make sure that no one makes any mistakes in the design, planning, and operation of the plants? Or is Japanese society exceptionally bad at organising things and understanding technology?

> Yes, nuclear power accidents can be very bad if we do a bad job of engineering the plan, and our other forms of energy production have major externalities even if we do a very good job.

On the contrary: renewable power stations can fail catastrophically and almost no one would notice (except for the blackout), whereas a nuclear power station can "succeed" and still take 100 years and hundreds of billions of dollars to clean up.

Your sources seem to be saying the opposite of what you're claiming. For instance the second one, through google translate, says:

> France's Energy Minister Eric Besson criticized Germany's exit from nuclear power. He is convinced that this will lead to Germany importing more electricity from France in the near future. As a result, the Grande Nation has to face the problem of a possible power shortage.

This is actually saying German imports from France will potentially cause an energy shortage, exacerbated by Germany's exit from nuclear generation. I'm not sure how this helps the point you're trying to make.

For all the talk of France's failures, it's carbon intensity of electricity is far smaller than Germany's [1]. This is the actual measuring stick of success: how much carbon is released for each watt-hour of electricity? France is way below Germany on this.

> And every time uranium fuel is shipped, you have massive protests from civilians, incurring a lot of side effects - acts of sabotage, blockades, expenses for police and judiciary system.

So if people protest solar and wind we should just cancel those projects, too? This seems like a non-sensical objection.

And lastly, it's strange to call nuclear a "dead" energy source when it's still generating more than wind and solar combined [2].

I used to think that, but I was wrong. Bubba milking cows and fixing toilets is value. Finance, media, "the information economy", downloadable content, advertising/marketing, etc, are, for the most part, parasitism. Subsidizing suburban normiedom is a kludge to keep the system operational.

IMO Zakaria’s take on the history, ramifications, and possible solutions of the invasion of Ukraine are the most compelling I have read anywhere.

I question just how realistic is is to have "Proofs from the Book" at the start. While the art is wonderful, the background required to read it is not realistically at a lower level than the textbooks listed.

The discussion here has been much more interesting than the actual list, to me. If you wanted to master all of that material, I think a master's program is the way to go, not self-study.

I would be interested in hearing from people who _do_ successfully self-study. What makes it work?

The least interesting (from my point of view) is "already successful in a related field, applied my skills". That would include CS professionals studying maths, I think.

More interesting would be "unable to attend university because of X, did Y and really enjoyed it." Are you a person who completes MOOCs and get something out of them?

> Math is pretty fun, though, proofs and all, and I'd recommend trying your hand at it as a cool little side hobby! It can often help with "clarity of thought" :) (In many cases, proofs are just one or two lines that tell you something interesting, too, not page-long arguments that are mostly definitions chasing.)

I find proofs and identities very hard to read. I assume it's a bit what having dyslexia feels like. I have to turn them, glyph by glyph, into something more algorithmic to make any sense of them. The only math-for-fun I've ever enjoyed are simple recreational math puzzles—proofs, reading or writing, are torture. I actually enjoyed the parts of math classes that mathematicians insist are bad and are the reason kids don't like math—the parts heavy on memorization and drilling the application of an algorithm—far more than anything that came later. Perhaps not coincidentally, those have also proven to be by far the best bang-for-the-buck of all my time spent in math classes over the years. I use that stuff every day.

I find it one of the more amazing things, that so much of our physical world has a time/frequency dimension.

And our bodies have at least a couple of obvious senses (vision and hearing) to experience some frequency ranges. And with modern computing power, many natural phenomena on our planet and across the universe can be morphed into ranges we can see or hear.

And this in turn not only aids in scientific understanding, but also allows (some of) us to respond emotionally.

And that keeps me awestruck, even when other properties of our species can be utterly depressing.

The TLDR as I understand it:

- Most software calculators take up too much space. You don't need buttons on the screen, your keyboard already has the buttons.

- Software calculators don't often give good feedback of what digits/buttons are being pressed. Physical calculators keep the keys and the display in the same small visual space: you can see the buttons you're pressing and the screen at the same time, and you have good haptic feedback. Software calculators force you to trust yourself to type the exact numbers/operations you want, or look back and forth between your keyboard and the screen, which is slow. The other alternative is using the mouse to click every button, which is also slow.

And three of the requirements the author lists for a "good" software calculator:

- The calculator should not compute until you validate the full expression.

- The calculator should display the expression during input, and allow you to correct any typing error you notice.

- The calculator should display the expression that has actually been evaluated.

(end of TLDR)

Now my own opinion: an RPN calculator with a visible stack is more than enough to solve the problems that motivate points 1 + 2.

Easily? No.

Decent locks take skill, skill which takes a long time to develop.

And also if you buy a bike which has a primary feature of it being a lock, your buyer is probably going to wonder where the key is.

Paying a locksmith who may or may not be able to make a new key for your lock really cuts into the motivation for stealing a bike.

I think it’s far more likely that Europe would’ve continued down the path it had been on for centuries - war against itself.
Assuming this is all true, I wonder if this is how wild dolphins feel when they have an encounter with friendly human beings? It almost feels like playful behavior. Like the UAPs are flying alongside the fighters the way we might swim with dolphins. Tweaking our noses a bit too. "Look how much faster than you we are. Look how we know your secret little patrol point." It would be sinister and deeply threatening if paired with any demonstration of ill-intent, and perhaps it should be read as such. But it doesn't feel that way to me. It feels very much like the brief fun little games people play during incidental encounters with non-dangerous wild animals sometimes. Imagine a man hiking along a trail in a line with a dozen friends, who notices an interesting lizard on a log and stops to look as his friends continue on without him. The man pokes the lizard a little, to see how it reacts, and it predictably scurries off. He then follows his friends, soon disappearing into what is an impossible-to-reach distance from the lizard's perspective, and he never gives the little lizard another thought. We are lizards compared to any intelligence capable of achieving these levels of power output (1100GW in seconds!), if this study's estimates are correct. Maybe we just got poked in passing.
> If you don't want confusion you spell out exactly what you mean instead of just using labels

That's why I said "If you want to communicate the nuance of your beliefs without much explanation". Weak/strong atheism is another label too though, just a less known one.

"Spelling it out" would be an explaining it. I've never heard of the strong/weak qualifiers and I would assume there are less people that have than have heard of agnosticism. It's a good classification of the spectrum of theism, but you would have to explain it, which is fine if you want an even higher degree of nuance vs the broader atheist / agnostic terms.

You don't always need to communicate the nuance, sometimes you just need a quick general statement "oh no I'm atheist/agnostic" when asked if you're part of a religion or a similar scenario.

The article opens by talking about standardized testing, so here's an anecdote: I tied for the highest ACT score in my grade when my school took it, and I'm the opposite of success at anything. My grades would have been a far better metric, as they place me in the 40th percentile rather than the 99th (probably still a fair bit above reality, though).

Factors like work ethic, drive to succeed, ability to follow direction, and good social skills are better captured through other means, and for most positions, they matter more than raw intelligence.
That's a very narrow definition of "welfare". Farm subsidies are welfare, as are corporate loan guarantees, pro sports stadiums, tax breaks for the energy industry and so on, and those overwhelmingly benefit red states.

And who can forget "don't let the government get ahold of my Medicare"? Conservative voters love to believe that the only good welfare is the welfare that benefits them (similar to how "cancel culture" is bad until it's time to ban books from school libraries and so many other hypocrisies).

I agree that the metaphor has some use, but I think most of these open access cases are more akin to trespassing in the woods at the far end of someone's large property or going through an unmarked door in a public building and finding oneself accidentally in a private space than breaking and entering into someone's home.

That is, if there are no signs posted and you have not received notice that trespass is prohibited you should be given a healthy benefit of the doubt. It is obvious that homes are intended to be private, but not so for files being publicly served on the internet. This whole 'treat the absence of notice as a lack of consent' is a non-starter for me.
