This is what anecdotally feels true to people but isn't what the data suggest:

https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2013/article/marriage-and-divor...

Even in the Guardian piece you're linking there:

> To me, looking at the demographic data, it doesn’t seem that there is a widespread aversion to forming serious relationships [across educational lines] – there are more and more relationships in which women have more education than their male partners.”

> She doesn’t see large numbers of educated women holding out for an educated partner, and remaining unhappily single, in other words.

In the Pew piece linked from there,

> The primary reason for the decline in the share of married couples with similar education levels is that marriages between spouses with high school or less than high school education are much less common these days — the share is down from 74% of all marriages in 1960 to 24% in 2012. In addition, adults with high school or less education are much less likely to marry. The marriage rate among this group plummeted —from 72% in 1960 to 46% in 2012.

> Just the opposite has occurred among college graduates. The share of couples in which both spouses have a college degree has risen steadily in recent decades. In 1960, only 3% of couples were in this group, the share rose to 22% in 2012.

Framing a decrease in marriage as "for a cohort of women university and work, displaces marriage and children", what I was responding to, is simply not supported by the data. The decrease in overall marriage is disproportionately due to the non-college-educated. Getting a university degree increases a woman's likelihood of marriage.
I've been very happy with self-hosting a Seafile instance to serve as a personal cloud for myself and a small academic ML team. I built a small NAS, Proxmox runs on baremetal, on top of which there's an ubuntu VM running a Seafile docker instance. Fantastic performance, so so much more efficient for syncing large libraries b/w machines. Owncloud/Nextcloud was a pig for my purposes, it seemed unable to sync libraries w/ large number of files (2million+). IIRC Seafile sync client is C under the hood, and is much more performant than any other sync client I've tried. OneDrive was completely unable to upload the amt of data that I needed, and I was tired of manually splitting my datasets into chunks, only to have to stitch them back together on the shitty WebUI. Feel free to hit me with any questions if anyone is thinking of setting up a Seafile instance. I've found their 'community edition' free release to be more than sufficient for our team.
And that's happens in the UK. Of course, the farmer has to put in a claim, and I mean't that I do not know if he did so.

> One of the biggest reasons for going "unlimited PTO" is that there's no accrual, therefore they owe you nothing.

IMO that's the only reason for employers to offer "unlimited PTO" schemes.

> Does explicitly saying "4 weeks" put them back in the hook for that, or does saying "expect" get them back off the hook again?

Hmm, at my most recent employer, I heard passdown from my manager that "the man above" (VP) had "guided" that 5 weeks was the ceiling for "unlimited" and that TPTB would look askance at anyone taking more. But this was all "off the record".

An Introduction to the Unix Shell [pdf]
If you’ve read Nietzsche or other philology/mythology he just comes off as a gas station ‘10 tips to EXCEL in your life’ and it’s cringe to see people take him seriously at face value.

Not doubting he is a smart man: he started a self auditing thing on his website, and probably has the psychological profile of his audience written up in bullet points for his marketers.
Meth labs are also giving people what they.

Even if your take the full libertarian stance that all drugs should be legal, the parent comment did not seem to be advocating for outlawing social media. It was positing that people have realized that social media is an addictive toxin and are deciding, on their own, to bail out. If something is truly addictive, suggesting people develop some self discipline and partake just little seems misguided at best. It's way easier to just abstain completely. Nobody wants to end up like Doug Stamper dispensing three drops of whiskey from syringe onto their tongue.
> Why? Mozilla asked for it apparently:

> “This is the result of cooperation and collaboration between the [Ubuntu] Desktop and Snap teams at Canonical and Mozilla developers, and is the first step towards a deb-to-snap transition that will take place during the 22.04 development cycle,” Ubuntu desktop team’s Ken VanDine explains in a Discourse post.

This quote does not in any way support the claim that "Mozilla asked for it". Maybe find better sources for your info.
I roughly follow Getting Things Done (GTD) and built a Flutter desktop app for managing the various lists in GTD (I hate flicking between note files).

You can see it on this page. Note that I haven't decided if I'll launch the app yet, so there's not even a domain name. https://qzj2yr24qf8m.umso.co/

GTD also recommends you keep a projects list to remind you of all the open projects you have.

Flight is so useful, it evolved 4 times independently. With very similar solutions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_and_gliding_animals

And crustaceans keep evolving into crabs. https://www.popsci.com/story/animals/why-everything-becomes-...

And who even knows how many different times high level intelligence has evolved. I think octopi, birds, and mammals are all good examples of separate intelligence tracks with similar results.

It really feels like magic sometimes. When using IDA I always knew that I was working with assembly. With ghidra, once everything has decent names it really feels like I have a copy of the original source code.

I don’t find it fun. It’s about as fun as seeing “European thinkers” do the same about the US, as someone who has lived in both regions, although one direction is perhaps more vocal than the other. Whether it’s a positive or negative misconception, I find it more frustrating than amusing when one’s confidence is mismatched with the quality or reliability of information (i.e. ignorance).
It also focuses questions and helps allocate resources to worthwhile areas to pursue.

I doubt any modern science breakthroughs are done by someone who mastered none of the previous consensus to learn where to dig.
I've read and re-read about all those many quirks a lot of times over the decades, and some of the things I understand to an extend where I know what the issue is when something breaks... but man, the interactions between tty/pty, terminal (emulator), shell, screen, ssh and locales still sometimes make me want to scream.

Okay — but that’s just you making up facts.

The only cited number is 1.3%… and entire order of magnitude lower, and it’s since dropped to 0.5%. That is, the only documented instances are an entire order of magnitude lower.

I think you “guesstimated” a fake number to pretend your personal views are more objective than they actually are.

The thing is that this doesn't help you with double letters, still leaves out some less common letters, and leaves you with very little margin for error at that point.

On Octordle, 4 words seem easiest although it makes the game more of an anagram solving exercise and in my limited experience didn't give me much of a consistent score advantage vs. three.
There is one emulator mapped per target system. Depending on the target system it will use qemu, wine, wasmtime or mmixware.

Oh yeah, most importantly-- Linux is treated as a 1st class citizen, the sync clients are equally performant b/w platforms in my experience. In contrast to Nextcloud, Seafile is really good at one thing-- file sync&share-- and the Web UI is intuitive & full-featured for users & admin alike.
> "always" is not the weird one -- that's just the same as everyone else. "Never" is weird, immediately spending 1/16th of the opcode space (256 million instructions) on NO-OPs.

Worse, iirc what looks like it should be the slot for the "never" condition actually does exactly the same thing as "always".

That famous photo of the scientist with the ring image on their laptop screen was exactly that: after all 4 teams had tuned their algorithms to make sure they could accurately image the simulated data (ring, crescent, disk, double point source)... then all 4 teams imaged the actual data. That was the first moment, Eureka!

Now that you've read the correct paper, you know that. You could have also learned it from the news releases, as it was an important part of the science.
Google Wave. But I think they should have had the foresight to realize that this was a minimum 10 year commitment type project, because it was clearly complex enough to take around 10 years to stabilize into actual internet intrastructure with complex social structure.

E.g. imagine if instead of sharing Google Colab notebook URLs in various machine learning discords or twitter networks, we could edit forks of notebooks directly in the communication medium, as threads.. This was the type of vision they should have been realizing.

I've been using Brave for about 3 years. Not sure it's that big of a move coming from Chrome.

I think the only pain point is that the shields might make a few sites misbehave, e.g. getting an error during a card payment due to some 3rd party library being blocked, so you might need to disable the shields and try again. If you already use uBlock Origin this shouldn't be any news.

Obama addressed that specific point during his Chicago appearance on the disinformation topic.

You, and other readers here, might care to see his comments on the point, which includes an acknowledgement of the strict technical truth that his promise wasn't met, but also what to my ears at least is an exceedingly reasonable justification for why, and how the labeling (and political deployment) of the statment has lost sight of those elements, to the point of fundamental disenginuity.

Sure — but if we double the other direction (from 1990 to 1960), we get 27 victimizations per 1000 or 2.7%.

That would be an order of magnitude below the “guesstimate” — and why I asked.

While something may feel common, it might nevertheless not be as high as 20%.

It’s okay to admit it felt common without making up statistics — and just say that we don’t have good information.

Look at how sparing vim is with screen updates. I don’t know if it was intentional, but works out nicely, and makes it a godsend if what you have is 3G which is somehow worse than EDGE has been 15 years ago.

In those places the wages are also considerably lower. The 2/3 are not the people buying, it's the people inheriting existing property: First-Time buyers only make up 33% of home owners.
I'm curious, who is more "self-made" in your opinion, someone with unsupportive parents who provide money, or someone with supportive (emotionally) parents without money?

What about someone that had neither, but due to the country they grew up in or the colour of their skin they have access to government funded incentive programs, or bank loans?

What if you benefited from colonialism hundreds of years ago, or the establishment of infrastucture such as roads or telephone lines? Are you self made?

This weird privilege check doesn't make much sense to me. The "self-made" test to me is "did you put in the work and do the grind?". That's it.
Seriously?

It's easy when you're the first one in a non-globalized world where you literally create the capital by yourself, for yourself, and then spend it on yourself.

Even so, there is either someone available for some clarification, in my experience. Obviously, this varies across companies and at various levels of helpfulness. Your point is valid, though.
The other part there is that it puts the onus on the third-party site(s), exacerbating the problem; whereas, if the interviewers do not understand the question, they are more likely to focus on one of those items to correct going forward.

The state of fq_codel and cake in 2022
True that lead, radioactive materials and asbestos are orders of magnitude more hazardous than moderate RF exposure. I think an issue raised by the research is the amount/frequency of RF needed to cause subtle injury to brain neurons and potential delayed effects that could emanate from exposure.

For example, the mouse study showed alterations to myelin sheaths. Conceivably there could be long-term implications, as in leading to conditions like multiple sclerosis. Of course this sort of hypothesis remains to be tested. Late-appearing effects are notoriously difficult to establish as consequent to small insults years or decades before.

Remains to be seen where this line of research goes. I sure don't expect to see any outcome of it in the near future.
If you can't get people to stop buying $70,000 gas cars I don't know how you're going to get them to stop buying cars that don't include whatever car-to-car communication system you can come up with. People don't do what's good for the commons; instead they do what they think is good for themselves.

So for a long time going forward, autonomous cars will still have to deal with other cars that are basically rolling bricks. Since they can't count on any smarts or any of the communication that you speak of, they have to rely on themselves.

So eventually, yes. But meanwhile we do need the fallback of autonomous discernment.

Another vote for this strategy to keep the game interesting.

Putting the same words in at the start got boring after the third game, and the first word dictates the on-the-fly logic to select the next, and so on.

It all comes down to how you want to play. Using maths optimises "winning", but not using maths challenges ones situational intellect. I prefer the latter.
I've used that strategy on 100s of standard Wordle games to good effect. It's not perfect, but it solves ~98-99% of all games attempted.

(That stat comes from one of the multi-play Wordle imitations which does in fact track success rates.)

I don't recall mean attempts, though I believe it's still between 3-4 tries.

Once most characters are tested, it's usually pretty clear what the actual word is, and some familiarity with the actual wordlist (which I picked up merely by playing the game, not by examining source), the harder cases also become pretty obvious.

Doubled letters and anagrams are the most difficult cases.
> I hope you are saying that partially in jest.

Not at all. "An audiophile is a person who is enthusiastic about high-fidelity sound reproduction." That describes me fairly well, IMO. Those who spend thousands on silly things are a sub-group of the larger group.

It may seem self-defeating to assign myself a label so sullied by marketing sillyness, but I'm beyond being bothered by that. I love audio.

> By the time the music has been recorded and reproduced it is so far away from the original

I'd like to offer a counter point to this. Just like Charles M. Russell's photographs, the raw recording does not reflect the final vision of the artist. Even the sounds heard at a live rock concert have been manipulated by effects pedals, digital synthesizers, overdriven analog amplifiers, and so forth.

So in a way, the final mix as heard through studio headphones or monitors and approved by the artists is the most authentic version of a song available. As such, what I need to do to hear their version is merely reproduce the equipment they used (which doesn't require a ton of money).
It’s both. There’s literally no downside for the employer. Someone who abuses it is underperforming. You just fire them if it becomes a problem.

Of course this person doesn’t cite any sources because it’s convenient to spread misinformation and fear. Unfortunately even on HN, misinformation and FUD is prevalent.

I’m going to take a guess and say that they are referring to Curative, a startup who came under fire for having a test that too often reported false negatives most likely because they conducted the tests with mouth swabs instead of nasal ones.

Anecdotally, I went to a Curative site in Los Angeles when I suspected that I had COVID in 2020 and received results from one their free (gov paid for) testing sites, so despite issues with the tests and the company notwithstanding, I got a positive result and it provided a valuable service to me. I wonder why the story “hasn’t been told”? Maybe because there’s not some giant conspiracy.

And it's not your residence, in the sense of abode.

The question of "propery" versus "residence" is one of values. There is no right or wrong answer between them, and the question of which is to be given higher consideration is a social construct. The answers chosen may well vary with time and circumstances.

I've asked a few questions upstream in this thread. You might find value in giving a serious attempt at considering and answering them, perhaps from several viewpoints and value-bases.
