I don't know generally the use case for this though I remember seeing the most brilliant person I've ever encountered (a forum long ago) enquiring if a job enabled people to work anonymously; he was very cautious with his identity.

I do think it makes sense in this day and age - with pseudonymous discourse long established online - for people to be able to work anonymously within reason (constrained by accountability and transparency when applicable).

The site is interesting but perhaps a little gung-ho with some of its statements.
Really? Because the article seems to say the complete opposite in multiple instances.

"Oh hey this thing doesn't match what is expected according to the standard model but yeah the standard model is tots fine bro."

> For example, in 2017, physicists working with LHCb, one of four large particle detectors fed by the LHC, found that B mesons, particles that contain a heavy bottom quark, decay more often to an electron and a positron than to a particle called a muon and an antimuon. The standard model says the two rates should be the same, and the difference might be a hint of supersymmetric partners, Ellis says.

So why is the standard model not in the trashcan?
Have yet to read the hit piece but some of the symptoms of a minority that just wants to be outraged for the sake of it dragging sentiment down whilst the rest just wants to work is quite telling and not the first time it gets brought up.

Also he’s on point about the loudest people talking about being inclusive usually being the most oblivious.
Most fingerprint sensors that look for a pulse can be fooled by a gummy bear that has been sliced thin enough to allow the pulse to pass through, but thick enough for the ridges to be picked up. Think about something around a millimeter thick.
Used it for a while and after 2-3 months I gave up. It reminded me of those awful Filemaker workspaces in the early 2000s.
Some car manufacturers have coherent names.

For instance, consider BMW.

For sedans/hatchbacks there's basically 1 through 8 (1 series, 2 series etc). Even numbered series tend to be high performance models and are usually coupes.

Prefix "X" means it's an SUV.

Prefix "I" means it's electric.

The suffix "i" stands for petrol engine, "d" for diesel, "e" for plugin hybrids (?).

The other numbers indicate the relative performance of the engine (ie., 530 > 525)

"x-drive" means AWD.

An "M" in there means high performance. If there's "competition" tacked on, there's even more performance, and "CS" means it's really badass.

----------

BMW is not the only one with a coherent naming though. Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo etc (just naming a few) also have similar naming strategies.
PV + storage is cheaper than nuclear:

https://www.lazard.com/perspective/levelized-cost-of-energy-...

(you have to compare cost of nuclear on first page with wholesale PV+storage energy on subsequent pages).
I read that pageservers are shared between users. What if the memory capacity of the pageserver becomes the bottleneck? eg: some users perform full table scans and make most page access fallbacks to s3. Sorry for one more dumb question.
I have so many problems with the physics status quo that it's hard to know where to begin. But here are a few code smells:

* The strong force probably doesn't exist. It's an empirical description of what happens in the nucleus around 10^-15 meters. But due to stuff like gluon self-interaction, it's difficult to analyze. I suspect that it's related to the curvature of space around mass and is probably connected to neutron star and black hole math. But as long as it's portrayed as unified with the electromagnetic and weak forces, I just don't see us gaining a better understanding of it anytime soon. Also the description of the force between quarks increasing with distance, enough to concentrate enough energy to create more quarks (like how a high-energy photon can split into a particle and antiparticle), feels more like epicycles than deep understanding.

* Physics right now seems more obsessed with mathematical elegance than application. Normally I prefer theory and abstraction over implementation, but what's the point of discovering a Higgs boson if we can't modulate it? It's nice to know it's there, but what are the chances of using energy to manipulate an object's inertia? I suspect that it's more of a clever mathematical construct than a force we will ever manipulate in our daily lives. Actually, re-reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_mechanism#Simple_explana... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_generation it sounds like the Higgs mechanism is more about explaining the masses of particles than how to manipulate mass. The problem might be in how long range and short range forces (carried by massless gauge bosons and massive gauge bosons respectively) are treated differently. That's almost certainly not the final model of reality, and writing this out, I bet it's one of the main reasons that string theory tries to add so many dimensions that maybe aren't there. But since I'm not literate in this, I can't dig into the code.

* Physics education is just.. bad. Understandably so, because so much of this is so fringe and so new that only a handful of people in the world actually understand it at a deep level. Which is why I think videos like this are so important: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b05IeSlMMDw . Notice how she skips over notation pedantry and calls the bracket notation vectors. She also isolates entanglement as the key mechanism of quantum computers (at the 4:21 mark). I've read countless articles on that for YEARS that never stated what's going on with such clarity. So if we can't simulate entanglement inside a classical computer, then we can't simulate reality in them, because we wouldn't be able to build a quantum computer within The Matrix. So are we living in a simulation? Probably not.

I bring this stuff up because the problem is probably in my own lack of understanding, not physics itself. So more budget needs to go to education and refactoring the existing physics "codebase" to use better notation and terms. Maybe you all have insights that invalidate my concerns. Those insights should be at the forefront of every Wikipedia article, not buried inside somewhere.
It's appalling how these conversation on HN are made of people endlessly repeating only a handful of pros and cons.

No progress in the conversation and no discussion of more subtle aspects, like centralization of control/power, systemic risk, nuclear proliferation etc.
It may be worth first understanding why g=2 (if you haven't before). This can be done on the basis of special relativity + quantum mechanics, i.e., the Dirac equation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_equation

The "g" is the Lande g factor:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land%C3%A9_g-factor

(As I recall nonrelativistic QM gives g=1.)

PS Not a physicist, but learned some of this at some point. Only ever learned about electrons, though; don't know how any of this translates to other particles.
I have been using IPv6 for years on my mobile plan, so anecdata supports your hypothesis.

But it's not only corporate. IPv6 only lit up at home (Verizon Fios) for me maybe 1 month ago. There are also likely very few people with RA enabled, even if their infrastructure supports it.
That’s what I tell people about politics.
I think the shortage is mostly due to a lack of a desire to make big changes to resolve the issue.

If a meeting was called of 10 big tech/manufacturing companies and they were each told they'd be hansomely rewarded if they managed to make large volumes of a missile design, and that all IP/Patent laws would be suspended for the purpose, I guarantee you that there would be massive stockpiles within the month.
Wouldn't it be at a big risk of being destroyed by a meteorite ?
Yes, it's still valuable to be able to move a heavily armored computer onto the battlefield, even if you need to be more cautious about exposing it to direct fire now.
I wouldn't describe any of the organizations listed as "bullshit". Weird, maybe. But they actually do really interesting and valuable work!
Bitcoin miners seem to be in trouble, at least the publicly listed companies whose financials are available.

Since last year they've been hoarding most of the coins they mined. Rather than sell their product, they've held onto the coins and instead used financing to pay for the ongoing expense of the mining operations. This was done either because the miners saw cash was cheap and hoped to sell the coins at a better price later, or because they were worried about crashing BTC price by selling. (Since I'm extremely suspicious of everything crypto and tend to think the whole market is 99% fake, I'm assuming it was mostly the latter.)

Now their choices are dwindling and a firesale of BTC from miners may be at hand.
In the US and comparable jurisdictions, the concept of employee and contractor are not interchangeable and imply differences in things like autonomy and expectations. This is as much to make sure that workers have appropriate protections and that contractors have appropriate freedom as it is about tax reporting or whatever.

Far more likely is that these companies aren't well-footed legally and don't realize that they'll only be able to stay under the radar while small. Which is common, but puts a cap on how high-profile they can grow. They'll need to sort things out before they can scale or get involved in regulated industries.
A lot of good ideas come through trial and error. After a certain while of using a product a specific way whole new pathways can open up. It's really difficult to know what your end product is supposed to look like, if you're working on something novel.

If you're building something that already exists, sure, then you can structure and optimize it during the design phase (and should).

It’s worse than that. Storage can, at best, provide for some interval of backup while wind/solar aren’t providing enough power.

The problem is that “100 year”, “1,000 year” or worse events will require more than currently stored. Then, potentially millions of people will be at risk of injury or death from cold or heat.

Reliable generation of at least enough to cover survival seems necessary.

Falsehood ? What do you know about building windmills ?

I admit that I don't myself know much, but I can tell you that you need at least:

- A modern metallurgy industry using coal to make steal

- Possibly a chemical industry to make composite material

- A logistic industry to move components around the world
using petrol (all the solar and wind renewable production is based in china)

- Cement to build your fondation (using gas)

Remove all this and try to build it locally and see how much they cost you...

> Could there not be a noun, "ass-load"?

Absolutely. Had the GGP wrote “shit-ass-load” the whole hyphenated string would be a noun, which is also grammatically correct.

But “shit-ass load” is a bit more evocative and digestible than “shit-ass-load”.

I would have gone your direction with “assload” (no hyphen) which is a satisfying single noun with no adjective.

I'm a PhD student in CS in the USA. At my school in Boston, we are paid a ~40K USD/yr stipend. My friends in industry make a _minimum_ of 120k/yr, and some make considerably more than that (think 200k+), in junior / "entry-level" positions.

When I complete the PhD, if I go to industry in the USA, my income will probably be similar to that of my friends who will have been in industry the entire time (and gotten steady wage increases throughout).

It's important to note also cost of living. 40k/yr might sound like a lot, but in Boston, rent is >1k/month even with roommates, we don't have dental care, our health insurance is imperfect, groceries are expensive, etc. etc. Meanwhile in Tucson Arizona or Bloomington Indiana the stipend is something like 22-28K/yr, as cost of living is lower.

Generally speaking it's reasonable to say that completing a PhD in computer science is not a financial investment, but rather, something I am doing because I want to do it. I am very unlikely to literally "profit" (compared to, if I had gone straight to industry instead).

I hope this information is useful/interesting!
US nukes are, in fact, not paying into any waste fund. Operators are actually being paid out of the previous balance from the previous waste fund.

Legal shenanigans. They got a court decision declaring the waste fund as a lie because there is no viable plan for waste.

How do you think famous painters and other artists work, even (or especially) the "old masters" (e.g. Rembrandt van Rijn)?
Here is a question I have often wondered about:

Say I am running a business in Europe. And one day I need to translate some text from German to English. I go to Google and enter "German to English translation service".

Up comes a website that says "We translate one page of text for ₿0.000048". The website does not tell you where it is operated or who operates it. They state that where they are, they are not obliged to tell you where they are. Just send the coins (via Lightning Network) and your text will be translated.

Would I be allowed to use that service? Can I deduct the expense from my taxes?
Yes, I grew up in Iran and we don't really have dates" in the western sense.

Similarly there is no such thing as a man and a woman casually going out for tea (coffee is very fancy lol) as "friends". If you did that, people would simply assume you are a couple. Platonic relationships would only manifest itself in groups and never in a one-on-one setting. Solo activities are rare over there anyway..

Regarding marriage, _both_ families have to meet and approve (once the couple decided they want to get married) and there is custom that the man, along with his family, visit the bride's and ask for "permission". This could only happen if she had initially said yes privately; You can't just show up and have the family force her into a marriage for example.

As you can see, it is very different culturally.. though many western elements are trickling down to younger generation so these days there is kind of weird blend..

Incidentally, when I met my fiance (she is from Spain) in Canada, I did it the Iranian way.. went to her house with my parents and asked her family if they would permit me to marry her. Even though she had assured me it doesn't matter, I insisted that it was important for me to ask for her father's blessings, which of course he very much appreciated! He also loved the fact that I had converted to Catholicism so we arranged a traditional marriage in a Church along with a nice mix of Persian/Spanish celebration thereafter.

When was the last time the US even produced a new tank hull? Pretty sure they haven't produced a new Abrams hull since the 80s (yes, they've been rebuilt and upgraded a few times, but no new hulls to my knowledge). I'm not even talking about a new design, I'm talking about production of an existing design.
This is a really neat idea, but their coverage is not that great. I would totally by a phone that gave over details that made it easy for projects like this to adopt.
> I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

As long as there are conflicting desires, there will be conflict, and it can break out into war.

However, it's possible that war can be reduced, but it may require things we're not quite ready for, such as the end of Westphalian states.
That’s probably because anti-tank weapons aren’t all that important for the US military. The US military has guided missiles from planes and ships that serve this role much more effectively.

If we actually needed infantry anti-tank weapons, I don’t think we have any problem building them in huge quantities.
Academic works almost always advance arguments. "X is correct because we can see A, B, and people would have understood that in light of C. Critics will point out Y, which is addressed by D, E, and F".

There's no firm line between scholarly and pop history other than the reputation and credibility of the work, which often isn't obvious to lay readers.
I think you are both correct. It is true that people who grow up poor simply have much fewer chances to learn how to grow wealth. They may be frugal and manage the little they have with care, but that kind of mindset is not enough in general. They don't get any chance to learn how to invest money properly, because they don't have any to invest. If they do put something aside, they are encouraged (by the circumstances) to keep it as safe as possible (ie cash), which is generally a bad investment decision.

You are also right in that there are plenty of people who are high earners, but never get to actually build wealth because they spend it all. This can often be the curse of living in a high cost of living area. You see all the wealthy people driving in nice cars and living in luxury homes, and this makes it difficult to consciously deny yourself these things and live (relatively) modestly but build long term wealth instead.
Why isn't this in the Chrome store? There's other extensions that integrate with 12ft.io in the Chrome store (e.g. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/12ft-free/ljgfopbn...) so there's no rules against this kind of thing.

So I wonder what this extension in particular is doing that Google wouldn't approve of.

...also 12ft.io already does this for almost every paywalled site.
> What happens with sexless marriages? You stay at work because it's far less depressing to be at work than be at home in a sexless marriage

I gotta to wonder are there any intimate or romantic displays are or they basically just roommates.
The right answer really depends on what the opportunity cost is. If you're a FAANG engineer, the time spent trying to save small amounts of money could be better spent doing a better job at work, getting a better review, having a bigger impact, and a bigger RSU grant or even promotion.
Before paywalls newspapers tried free access for all and it didn't work. People always find a reason to justify why they don't want to pay.
I have never used it for business cases, but I am in notion for at least an hour a day for personal uses. I use it for a daily planner, personal wiki, and ticker(getting things done) I am naturally unorganized, so I overcompensate. I don't think much of what I do is outside of Notion's primary use case, but maybe it is???

Daily planner

- Every morning I do gratitude, "single most important task", and quick retro on the previous day.

- Schedule out my day giving every 15-minute block of time a goal. While being burnt out I would beat myself up for "not knowing what I am doing with my life". Having a schedule allows me to say "I should be doing x, I don't have to, but that is what I planned to do with this time" it calms some of that negative self-talk.

- Space for me to document random thoughts so they don't use active memory/thought process

Personal Wiki

- I have struggled with too many tabs open, or too many bookmarks in the past. To keep that at bay I have been trying this personal wiki approach for about a year.

- I have a few top-level pages for major categories of my life like bikes, household maintenance, fitness, computers, and programming. then I populate it with different types of content like pages, notes, and databases. These are things like car maintenance schedules, checklists for cleaning, and links/formulas I need to pay quarterly taxes.

Ticker file

- Single database with a few attributes. One attribute is the "review date" that I filter by.

- I chuck random things into this so I can pull them out of my active memory and come back to them later.
Arethuza, I'm a bit confused by this comment. PhDs in the UK don't last over 4 years. Would you mind clarifying?

From a personal perspective I don't regret my PhD, though it was charity funded so it was topped up to be around £20 000 instead of the usual £14000ish per year. It was an opportunity to engage with a small group of experts in research that was engaging and of use to the wider world, and present it internationally. I also tried to start a start-up during this time, but the underlying idea failed to pass preliminary trials (I work in healthcare). So the two are not mutually exclusive.

People's experience tends to vary. I think a lot depends on how much you research the group and supervisors you will be working with beforehand, and how much you engage them in the research you do.
That is really ridiculous. I'm sure some companies out there will pay it without blinking, but how are the little people supposed to evaluate things, heck a former boss at a Fortune 500 I know for a fact will say no thank you, and move on. I would just use DEB packages and setup a package repository myself, what does snap bring that regular debian packaging does not?
> google drive

I've been using Google Drive for years (at work). I still don't know where my files are and what the UI is doing. It is like a black hole of files that are shown in various ways. Google Drive IMO is one of the worst products out there. I hate it with a passion. I can pretty much say, in the list of 100 apps that I use, it ranks at the very bottom. Last.
In the U.S. at least, you are still legally required to report the legal identity of any contractor to the IRS and must ask them to fill out an I-9 form:
https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/complete-and-correct-form-...

Any contractor making >= $600 have to fill the payment and they receive a 1099.

There are very few exceptions to that and they are listed in the article.
False. They are collecting from the fund, instead.
Thank you for providing a trustable source.
