The point is in the US we do our best to avoid labeling people with religious beliefs as "tools of their religion" when they occupy political office.

You should try and see how many political leaders are Jewish and then compare that to the % of the population that are Jewish. Comes across as kinda shitty behavior no?

Plenty of government leaders are religious but that doesn't mean they rule according to those beliefs. To make the assumption they do is just a weak attempt to smear people based on their personal beliefs.
Legally adult, yes. They're still commonly regarded as kids, though, despite being eligible for the military. Note the drinking age is 21.

Primarily at what is known as PUIs (primarily undergraduate institutions), colleges and universities that either don't have grad students or have such a tiny graduate program that relying on them for teaching roles is unfeasible. In theory this is better for the students because the professors just care about teaching, but the down side is such institutions do little to no research and so the professors may be decades out of touch with current developments in their fields.
And more importantly, when Apple changes some design guidelines, provided you’re using the Cocoa API (which you likely are, if you’re developing for macOS natively), your application will look consistent with the rest of the OS.

Yes, Apple doesn’t care about backwards compatability, so you might have to update your application so that it runs on the latest macOS version, but there’s no way around it.

You either have a gazillion competing frontend APIs to maintain compatability with shit that was written for Windows 3.1, or you don’t care about any of that and end up with almost entirely consistent visual styles across the entire OS.

Pretty similar to my experience TA'ing at a researched focused school.

My first semester teaching a lab I was told "No one is remembered for being a good TA" and encouraged to do the absolute bare minimum to get paid so that I could focus on research.

> Has anyone tried to build that commit in modern days?

I was almost tempted to try, but I think I'd rather sleep tonight instead.
Looking back, it's very interesting to see the narrative building, and lies that existed back then.

For example, the great efforts and lengths gone to whitewash Chinese actions.

"Shi Zhengli, PhD, director of the Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) lab in China relatively close (25 to 35 kilometers [15 to 22 miles]) to the Wuhan live-animal market at the epicenter of China's outbreak, has extensively published the genetic sequences of isolates from the bat coronaviruses she studies.

None of them match those of COVID-19, Andersen said, something Shi herself confirmed in a recent interview in Scientific American. "If she would have published a sequence for the virus and then this pops up, then we would have known it came from the lab," Andersen said. "There's no evidence for this, but there is plenty of evidence against it.""

Except we now know they never published all the sequences, and they aren't available to this day.

That was a straight up lie. A purposeful lie
It's the suspension bridge with the longest central span, at 1.25 miles (2.86 miles long in total).

The world's longest bridge which is a suspension bridge remains the Mackinac Bridge, at just shy of 5 miles long in total (central span of less than 3/4 mile).
This is precisely why I'm glad I was able to choose (Management) Information Systems instead of Computer Science for my major. There are key courses in CS that I missed, but I feel like I also avoided a good number of courses (deeper math, specifically) that I ultimately never needed to establish my career in Web development. I've picked up the rest learning as I go.

Being able to get 1.5 years' experience in paid internships when I was at Drexel was also hugely valuable towards kick-starting my post-college career without adding additional classes.
> I’m all for setting the minimum wage for farm workers at $25/hr. Within 2-3 years every manual farm worker will be replaced by a machine, and we’ll all be better off for it.

Oh yeah you think the only thing between us and a fully automated robot-run future is labor market conditions? The perfect robot slaves will not be forthcoming for quite awhile. We will have to settle for human slaves, or in modern times, immigrants totally reliant on their employer and without the normal rights afforded citizens for our low prices. I sympathize with libertarian and capitalist ideals but I find it disturbing that the agricultural and energy base of the US economy is anything but free market.

And they admitted their mistake and removed both of these abominations.

Ex-HVAC tech here. Although not commonly seen, heat pumps were around on the US gulf coast back in the late 90's / early 2000's. Depending on what region/climate you're in, they're more popular.

Industry vernacular:
Air conditioner / air con: Unidirectional. Cools home. air cooled.
Furnace or heater: Separate unit to provide heat in home. Furnace is gas, heater is electric.
Heat pump: Bidirectional. Can heat or cool home. air cooled. Also, can come with "emergency heat" electric heaters.
Ground source or geothermal heat pump: Bidirectional. can heat or cool home. water cooled.
Swamp cooler: evaporative cooler.
In the 1930s, I'm sure the majority of children worked hard lives on farms and other jobs so they were well on their way to realizing the troubles of adulthood.
Those repellents bother my kids as well, and they're everywhere apparently but I can't hear them. Permanent tinnitus from far too many loud concerts in my 20s and 30s. All I can say to younger readers is: wear earplugs. You won't appreciate not having tinnitus until you do, then it's permanent :/
Saying we need to pay them more doesn't change the laws of supply and demand. Besides, as of right now none of the careers you mentioned pay poorly, they are in very high demand and most live very comfortable lives. Are they getting Google software engineer type salaries? No, unless they branch off and start their own business. You can't just say "these people deserve more" because it's just not true. If the path to a STEM job was just as easy as becoming a plumber then literally everyone would do it just for the pay. They don't because it is actually harder to become an expert and you don't have a secure base of customers. Plumbers are needed in every single building and for every person to live. Tech is mostly non necessary and you literally have to improve upon those before you to make it. It is actually much much more difficult to succeed to tech.

I’ll give a piece of business advice I’ve seen many times over the years. DO NOT go 50/50. You end up with a situation where no one can break a tie and things can just deadlock. Maybe through true belief, maybe through spite.

Make sure someone has at least a tiny bit more power.
That's a fair point. I'll engage.

My point on that is the Boiling Frog analogy. [1]

We all brush our teeth (mostly) because we want to preserve their health. And we wish to avoid the pain of abscesses and the dentist's drill.

The government doesn't MANDATE that we brush our teeth.

They have worked hard to make us think that the mandates are not for you but your neighbor, meaning they protect your neighbor from you. But that just isn't the case. We know that the vaccine will not stop infection or spread, and the only useful masks are the ones that will protect you from inhaling the aerosolized infective agent.

So this would come down to personal choice.

What we're seeing on a global scale is an infrastructure being put in place ever so slowly based on shocking and jarring events. Piece by piece. This has been going on since the turn of the 20th century. Maybe earlier.

DO you think the infrastructure being built for vaccine passports is going to be limited to vaccines or travel? If legislation like the PATRIOT act and dark projects like Prism have taught us anything it's that once the foot is in the door it will not retract.

Personal contexts are different. Quite acceptable to say just "No" to:

2) This has nothing to do with capitalism. The reason Britain didn't form a coalition with the USSR was because they were petrified of getting Stalin's troops out of central Europe after a war. And for good reason given who Stalin was. So they wrongly chose appeasement in the hope that Hitler wouldn't do more. A big mistake, but one you can sympathize with to at least some small extent, and it'd be disingenuous to try to link it to capitalism somehow.
It seems like the explanation you're putting forward is: farm owners are suffering from too few farm workers but, because they are bad businesspeople, they don't realize that raising offered wages would allow them to hire enough people.

I'm currently on HN while waiting for my latest pull request to go through the test suite. Many times I try to work on another PR instead, but am very bad at context switching between two branches, and inevitably screw both up.

There must be more to it than that, since here in Japan LINE is wildly popular (similarly among the elderly etc who are typically not expected to adopt new technology) and it does not use phone numbers as an ID (well it does, as an option, but that opens you up to spam so nobody uses it)
Machine Learning model could be used to create new chemical weapons
The problem I have with windows is two-fold. Firstly, I came to windows before Vista. So I know how powerful the old windows settings/features were. I knew exactly where to access everything I wanted. I have a feeling this is probably the same for many people from all sorts of backgrounds (Personally, I experimented with Apple - Hello touchbar!). But the second issue is the new damn UIs aren't exhasutive! THey're a thin layer on top of the acutal data, which don't tell you what you actually need, and often revert you back to the old UI. If you're going to ship a product that refers me back to the old UI for half the stuff I'm interested in... just don't ship the new UI. It's not worth the time.

It's been 15 years since Vista and this hasn't been fixed. It's difficult to find people to actually just deliver on basic stuff apparently. This is why the commandline works. Becuase if all else fails there is 1 interface. I don't think this is unfixable but it requires a lot of gruntwork.

No. Stalin signed an agreement with Hitler because he wanted different capitalist countries to go to war in order to create the conditions for revolution. That was his doctrine.
Although most points are true, I don't think ms is the one to blame about limit of changing new tab page.

The reason of limit of change default edge new tab is simple. It is just due to adwares. The adwares changed the dawn new tabs instead of the users changed it everytime. The popularity is so high that there is no benefit to allow users change it by default. Because users won't do it, adware will.
Are you suggesting that long COVID is related to decrease in cardio, or that your cardio decrease led to the effects of long COVID?
Yeah the downtown core is small. But there's no lack of building in the Western communities (eg. Langford). If walking to work is a must competition is pretty fierce.
Does it matter? Either you believe that they are giving away "enough" of their money, or you don't. If it's "don't" then it's unlikely that lack of a relationship will sway you, and if you do, then you'd want the argument to come from someone with intimate relationships to Yale (as you could then argue from authority).

More interesting IMO, is the question of whether or not great professors can scale, and whether online can do it. Or whether the real value add for "elite" universities is their quality of education, and whether great professors are required for it.

My beliefs (totally unfounded), is that yes, "great" professors _can_ scale, because the mark of the "great" professor would be their ability to explain things in lecture.
This of course, ignores any personal attention you can glean, but for most undergrad courses you're not getting much of that anyways.
Yes, looking at my comment again I see I wrote 40 x 10 = 40, rather than 400. That's closer to the total energy use of all proof-of-work cryptocurrencies, and not a fifth of Bitcoin alone as I suggested.

> battery technology isn't advancing. Academic physics research is not very useful economically because we've defined "useful economically" as "able to be converted into profits within 2-5yrs", and unfortunately we did that about 20 years ago, so the whole thing's sorta running on fumes right now.

If I'm understanding the claim, we aren't doing enough battery R&D, so battery technology advancement is slow? First off, I don't think most physics labs are researching anything even remotely useful to improving batteries. But for the ones that are, let's do fund them.

Second, battery technology is and has been advancing rapidly. See for example the slide in the presentation on the following website ("Battery cell energy densities have almost tripled since 2010 [as of 2020]"):

https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/05/eternally-five-years...

That being said, it's far from clear that we are spending less than the optimal amount on battery R&D (the current amount is many billions of dollars per year -- Samsung alone spend ~$1B on research and development for just electric vehicle batteries in 2020). How much do you think we are spending? How much more should we spend?

"Microsoft Teams" is present for in Settings -> Apps -> Apps & Features on Win11 for me. But given how they're integrating Teams into the OS, I wouldn't be surprised if I lose the ability to uninstall it soon.
We do this for Ganache, except for 6 direct dependencies not authored by us, for some technical reasons. We do it twice as we ship a browser version and a node version. Our bundle size is not exactly ideal because of it. We'll be reducing our bundle size (the tarball downloaded from npm) soon and will likely increase it again shortly after by bundling these last 6 too.
There are a very long list of reasons it’s normally sub optimal.

First your generally going out of the way to stop at an airport which means a longer trip, plus you need to climb back to altitude which means lower efficiency. Landings and takeoffs are harder on many systems which means more maticance. Time a major factor as not only are aircraft doing fewer routes passengers are also waiting around. Safety is another issue for adding stops, landing and takeoffs are much higher risk. Etc

It can be a net benefit, but normally your much better served to make every stop a significant destination rather than just being for fuel.
In my experience, Apple customers mostly just convince themselves that they must want whatever it is Apple chooses to offer at the moment. This is most easily seen whenever the new version of an Apple product arrives, lacking a feature they had relied on. They immediately set to work persuading themselves they can make do without that.
I'm not sure if we should be that surprised by middle eastern tones when we have terms like Butlerian Jihad[0] and Emperor Padishah[1] Shaddam[2] IV - infact, one of the things I like about Dune is this amalgamation of the east and west in names/terms in far far future - a future so distant that the religions we know now have mixed up and produced something very new but still relatable. Otherwise, if the focus was just to be as alien as possible, we could have characters made of entirely unknown matter speaking in an unknown medium - except they won't be as accessible. I think the trick is to make things as alien as possible without leaving humanity entirely behind, which I think Dune manages to do beautifully.

Teams is only successful because it's free and integrates with the M365 ecosystem. All its competitors are so much better.

It wasn't actually so bad at the start, it was just a poor slack knock-off. (Poor because the visual density is much lower with these oversized chat bubbles)

But now they are spending all their dev time cramming so much stuff into it without considering performance that it's become tooslow and cluttered. Now it's a wiki, a file storage thing, a video chat app, an interface to Yammer, not to mention the tons of plugins. Cool idea to have one app that does everything but performance and usability have gone down the drain. It feels very beta to me.

Oh and the choices they make are so stupid sometimes. When I decline a meeting it still adds me to its associated chat and pings me for everything that's said in it. Constant distraction and no way to turn off this stupid default.
Yeah the debugging story around async stuff is not ideal, but I don’t what part of the stack is really at fault there. I want what Tokio recently got.
That's a literal interpretation, but it's an expression, not a scientific law. People often say something like "That never happens" about things that are simply very rare.

Seeing the rather literal tone of the conversation, I responded with an equally literal interpretation of the comic. Of course I know that the "local fertility goddess" is a figurative expression for the abundance of nature, but "no such thing as a free lunch" is also figurative, and "the pot calling the kettle black" isn't actually about a talking pot.
Important to note that you have a STEM perspective. Nothing's changed in that respect, since that's always been the case in grant fields.

However...that's not at all a good representation of the rest of the university. Maybe the very best research universities don't care about teaching. There aren't many though if you're not in a grant field.

> That thing the actual customers are paying us for

If you're in a grant field, the grant agency is the customer, not the students. Teaching is something you do on the side. And not very much compared to non-grant fields.

I find it difficult to believe they'd offer this, given that they already have Stadia.

I do see how this could be more appealing for consumers, but aside from competing with themselves, I also would be curious about the economics. Considering how expensive GPUs are, is it even possible the prices for an on-demand gaming service could ever make that much sense? With Stadia, they are making you buy the games through Stadia itself, where they would get a cut of the revenue, which probably helps subsidize the actual cost of the service a bit more.

There's also other very irritating issues. For example, a litany of AAA game companies do not allow their games to be streamed via GeForce Now, even though it would be running your own copy that you bought from your Steam or other library. I assume they would fight to earn additional money on game streaming, even though the money simply isn't there.

This is unfortunate, but perhaps it's OK. Lower end devices will be getting more and more powerful and eventually I'm sure even reasonably priced Chromebooks will be able to play games decently. Given this launch only applies to newer Intel processor based Chromebooks, that day is not today... but still, it certainly could be on the horizon.
In other words, they decided to rewrite the theme stuff while neglecting to realise that there's existing code (which they mostly broke around the time of Win8 by removing the Appearance control panel...) that would do what they wanted.

I'm in agreement with the others here that Windows 2000 was probably the peak of consistent UI in Windows. XP didn't really regress but added bitmap-style skinning to the elements, and up until 7 the Windows Classic theme was fully customisable. In Win8 they removed that, and it's been a clear downhill from there.
