Let's be real, how much damage can sanction-related misuse of (free) version control and (free) instant messaging do? Being able to transfer money is a much more powerful enabler for sanctioned activity.
The entangled photons can't detect the interruption alone, you need the message too. If you are interested how I suggest watching Veritasium's video about Bell's theorem as a start. The cryptographic method is called Ekert protocol and it uses Bell's theorem to detect if the quantum spin was measured in an incorrect "direction" (called base). Just write down the expected outcome in 60 degrees tilted base and you will see how it changes compared to being measured in the correct direction. Add enough photons and possible directions and you can detect eavesdropping with a very high certainty.
You can't just "error correct" accumulated random errors. The only way to be accurate is to never lose precision in the first place (which makes the ants especially impressive).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtJJC0nWs9s is a pretty good explanation of how this works.
I'm sure you're correct and making a thinner mechanical wristwatch that doesn't just fold in half is really easy!

I look forward to your Show HN on a wristwatch < 1.75mm in thickness.

How long do you figure it will take you? three months? six? should I send an email to remind you?
I think the scope of what you think matters.

For me it’s the same as you, but only with “big” ideas that will require a lot of effort to get off the ground.

But I have been able to have a lot of great (to me) breakthroughs by focusing on smaller ideas: melodies or lyrics for a song, ideas for an algorithm or architecture for something I’m working on, perhaps planning a whole talk or presentation.

I believe most of us who are developers do that at work already, so it’s not too hard to extend it to alone time or exercise time.

On the other hand, I had the idea for a business I’m currently starting on one of those walks. So there’s exceptions.
An example where NULLS DISTINCT might make sense in a constraint is when a table is used to store an analytical cube roll-up (eg output of GROUP BY ROLLUP), where NULL in a dimension column has special meaning (it indicates subtotals). Having multiple rows with the same NULL key could, in some of those cases, be an error leading to double-counting.
Software developer corpo culture is really weird, there is so much talk about life/work balance startups promote their culture with ping-pong tables, gaming etc. yet none of the engineers even gets an office ...
Yeah. Just as wealth is more than accounting parlance.
> are no sanctions on selling goods to general consumers

While technically true, the sanctions on its banks and central bank in practice mean it’s virtually impossible to be paid by an Iranian for your goods. (No, crypto doesn’t work, unless that consumer doesn’t interact with its banking system and you can convince the U.S. you’ve verified this.)
It costs money and there's no guarantee it will actually make him happy. It could lead to him playing the game in some dark corner where no one can find him. There are advantages to him having to use the desktop PC.
He most probably means creating a data structure that does not allow NULLs (usually increasing your normal form works) not replacing them by a naive synonym.

The term 'hard drug' is meaningless and has no real definition in the field of pharmacology. We need to stop using it.
Well the point is it's an option to stand even if it's far from ideal. I personally would prefer to stand for an hour or two (trains tend to empty out en route) than stand at the station to wait for a seat. I've done it multiple times in the UK and Germany.

There are not enough trains in Spain for the cost of the high speed infrastructure. Looking today both the 19.30 and 20.40 MAD BCN are sold out, which means you would have to wait until the next day to travel if you couldn't get to the station before 19.00 (which isn't uncommon).
I hadn't considered how bad public transport might be in terms of ventilation, but it makes sense. I wonder how bad the London tube might be on a busy day?

It's unfortunate that research on the impact of Co2 concentration on cognitive function and general wellness is so inconclusive (ie: effect size of high concentration on most tasks seems small), when subjectively it feels really high.

Some years ago I did some datascience work with a housing association wherein they installed high-frequency sensors in various rooms of housing units across the country (with the explicit consent of the inhabitants, data anonymized) with the intent on understanding how building properties and use correlated with the sensor data. In general there was (and still is) a lack of understanding how to model the relationship between things like building material, climate, occupancy, tenant behaviour and negative outcomes like mold growth, fuel poverty/health outcomes, and so on. I mean - I'm not saying there's no understanding, but it's definitely a field where more work is needed.

Anyways, one of the things I found most shocking is that in many of these flats, Co2 concentrations would get mind-bogglingly high in bedrooms during the months where tenants would likely have the windows closed (this is something you can infer by temperature gradients and heating usage). By mid-way through the night, some individuals were in rooms with 4k+ co2 ppm. A common side effect of breathing air with such a high concentration is waking up feeling groggy, disoriented, or with a headache. But what are these people supposed to do - many of these flats were low-income housing, so they're badly insulated to begin with, and they probably can't afford the heating bills of keeping windows open for ventilation.

Sorry for the long story - but the point is that there are many negative health externalities associated with poor ventilation in buildings and interior spaces, and at least we're starting to get attention on the problem now with covid. Hopefully this leads to improvements across the board.

> Kaliningrad was handed over to the Soviet Union as a result of an agreement among the allies. That it belongs to Russia is accepted.

Like how Crimea was handed over to the Ukrainians by the Soviet Union

That Crimea belongs to Ukraine is accepted.

Russia made a huge mistake pushing further, not many people seemed to do anything when Russia took Crimea, but now it sure looks like they could lose badly enough and lose Crimea itself, and by that their black sea fleet entirely.
> I have all Samsung appliances at my home. They are the best appliances I have ever owned.

Congrats. I think you're in a minority. Our washing machine 'fabric softener' compartment started rusting less than a year after getting it. We had a long time and many back and forths trying to get them to acknowledge the problem. Their 'fix' initially was "don't use that". Finally - months later - they agreed to have someone come fix it, but it was going to be hundreds of dollars because we were "out of warranty". "But... we reported this to you with months left in the warranty period". "Well, tough luck" was basically the response.

My wife kept persisting - this dragged on for months - and eventually got some service rep to 'cover' this and a service guy came out. "Oh this is common - see this a lot with Samsungs in the last few years".

Relatedly, we had a dryer guy come out to fix the Samsung dryer. He indicated Samsung and LG were among the worst consumer-level brands for home appliances, based on their workload as service techs. But Samsung and LG have gigantic foot prints in the major retail outlets, so continue to get sold in to many households.
Ha ha, I so failed my daughters. "Dark Crystal", "Excalibur", and many others ... way too early for them.

This exactly the moment that Ukrainians would like to make quick decision given information at hand. Other countries are making sam choice (e.g. Sweden, Finland).

But this costs money and its easier to just gaslight
Get together a couple times a year was pretty much the situation with my broader team (distributed across at least a couple continents) pre-pandemic. (Travel is still more limited than it was.) I get that some people have an allergic reaction to traveling at all and spending nights away from family. Which is of course perfectly fine and they need to find a zero-travel job.

All that said, tech is something of a bubble with respect to this discussion while hardly completely unique. The few times I've had to go into the nearest major city (not to my office), my take is that rush hour traffic is essentially fully back to pre-pandemic levels--although public transit including commuter rail still seems pretty light.
I'm pretty cynical about corporate life and I generally agree. Most places are probably using hybrid as a warm up. However, to my surprise, my employer went the other direction. After six months on the hybrid plan, they found folks were coming in less than they expected. In response, and to my total surprise, they reduced the required/suggested number of days in office and gave most the option to self-elect as fully remote, permanently.

Why doesn't good people fund good science where they get all these numbers for difference in intelligence etc? Currently the only sources for those numbers comes from biased people, so getting the real numbers out there should be a win and reduce racism, no? Because without those numbers people will view the difference as much bigger than they are, that is how bias works.

You fight bias with real numbers and statistics, for example whenever biased people talk about criminal immigrants we point to statistics showing that immigrants aren't very criminal, I don't see why this situation is different.

In STEM fields, 10% of PhD students reported using external (non-university) funds as their primary source of grad school funding; 10% of those externally funded students (1% overall) reported using loans as their primary funding source.

In non-STEM fields, the proportion of non-funded PhD students is higher, at 35%, of which about half (17% overall) used loans as their primary source of funding.

Given that the majority of PhDs in the US are in STEM, it is correct to say that the vast majority of American PhD programs are fully funded.
As someone who's lived in a couple of countries, I think one reason credit bureaus are so heavily relied on in the US (and UK) is because they lack a centralised identity database that regulated financial institutions are able to draw from.

Credit bureaus — as well as the various credit building products that are so common in these countries — are required to play that role.
I thought that was American MO? Ignore the laws of any countries you don't like while imposing your own?
I have a very similar home office setup to you, but not all office environments are 20 year old chairs with burnt nescafe that you pay £1/cup for. My previous job had independent standing desks, modern aerons, noise cancelling headphones, bean to cup coffee, a few floors above a gym, surrounded by varied lunch options.

> Also the lost time in travel - say 2 hours a day I can spend walking

My commute to the office was a 35 minute walk each way through a park and a historic city centre. Of course YMMV, but it rubs me the wrong way when people who decided to take on long commutes for better pay talk about how it's being taken away from them and everyone should feel the same way, when lots of people make the compromise of living in a city to not have those problems.

Thanks, currency conversion was an example off the top of my head only. I am active on orionfeedback and kagifeedback, I find that they're really prompt and effective in answering to feedback.

The other examples are a bit harder to describe and I can't quite describe how Google gets it right. I think I might need more time to describe it out, as it involves search in another language.
Similarly, the need for non-boolean columns is a non-problem in practice, because an application can just make an extra column for every bit it needs to store. If it needs strings or arbitrary-width numbers it can just join on other tables that store those bits.

(Existence of a workaround doesn't turn a problem into a non-problem)
> So is it that decentralization is impossible to achieve or that it's achievable, but undesirable? I feel like I'm being gaslighted by the IETF.

While reading this, I tried to apply what they mention at the beginning of the Centralization and Decentralization sections, that is that both are continuums.

They try to quantify this using "centralization risk". For some functions, greater decentralization might be not worth the effort, is actually undesirable, or even impossible due to technical reasons. For others, these are in greater number, everything should be done to prevent centralization.
The third vehicle that was pulled over was not even a car - it was a tank. Source code hubs or instant messaging are nowhere near as worthy of restricting as avenues of money transfer are.
While it is not a really hard thing to understand, requiring only high school math, writing it out entirely here is going to be a bit laborious.

I can really recommend this book: "Dance of the Photons: From Einstein to Quantum Teleportation" by Anton Zeilinger. I read it when I was 16 and it's easy to read, but might shake to the foundations your understanding of the universe (as it did with mine). It clearly lays out why the position you take in your post is hard to maintain given some very simple experiments, even though your position looks so intuitive.

If not, this video gives a quick sketch of the argument and the experiment: https://youtu.be/f72whGQ31Wg?t=361
> This is happening just as Europe began to climb into a bigger suit, that of an independent economic and military bloc to be reckoned with (not that it was at any moment a realistic ambition)

For military it's not a reality today, but pre-pandemic it was absolutely a realistic goal many were working towards. Economically, it rivals the US in GDP terms and has some extremely strong sectors. Politically it's the main leader in human rights and regulation of new stuff that needs it (GDPR, Digital Markets and Services acts).

With the US in the process of imploding politically, the EU needs to maintain all of those and go even further.

The SEC does not license crypto exchanges, and the DOJ cannot “order” anything on its own. The odds an active crypto exchange with legitimate U.S. customers would be immediately seized is about 0%.

If every car needs a daily high speed charge for their 20 mile average commute on a 200 mile range car.

- daily vs nightly is important as grid capacity increases as commercial use decreases down by 7pm

- high speed charging is important because if either car will be parked for 12 hours it will be better for the grid and batteries if it uses low speed charging

- if electric cars (and hvacs) have no "time of use" functionality to reduce usage during peak billing rates.
> Personally, I think that the existing PostgreSQL behavior (NULLS DISTINCT) is the "right" one

SQL is old enough and this debate so unsettled still that I think it should be clear there isn't a categorically right behavior here anymore than there is a clear winner between tabs and spaces.

As an example of the irreconciliable weirdness of NULL, consider that "NULL = NULL" is false, and so is "NULL != NULL", while rows with NULL still group together in GROUP BY.

I appreciate you giving folks the option.
One top reason why i quit my job as programmer was that doing the remote days were so difficult to beg every time after the pandemic of 100% remote work perioid.
Yet there were 99% no reason or gain for me or for the company that I commuted 2 hours to office every day. Maybe for the other employeers who did not have sufficient office space at home as I have.
When I asked the reason why I cannot continue remote work got just mumbojumbo answer and when asked clarification to that.. "cannot explain that right now, it's complicated"

thanks and bye, i'd like to keep my dignity
Endgame sorta: Ukraine gets the military advantage and pushes the Russians back, maybe to the Feb 23 line, maybe more. Russia gets fed up like they did in Afghanistan, or the American/French did in Vietnam. A ceasefire is had and things kind of go back to normal.

Later maybe we'll get a more moderate government in Russia and they'll give up the neo fascist dictatorship thing?

Furthermore, while not a substitute for whiteboarding in all circumstances, shared documents have actually replaced a lot of what we used to write on whiteboards--and are better for it in many cases.

I suspect if companies just standardized on some tablet/drawing pad hardware and software--and gave it to employees--a lot of the complaints would go away. I'm not sure it's mostly a technology problem at this point.

* any mention of a fax number

This is kind of interesting criticism, because as far as I can tell Casey doesn't actually have experience designing high-performance chips, he just appears to work on high-performance code. Now, I'm no expert in hardware design either (I guess we kind of work in the same area, actually…?), so I can't actually provide much feedback on the actual concern brought up here, but I think it's kind of new to get this specific concern from him and not an actual chip vendor. "I think this will make slow processors and that makes me sad" is a weird place to be, generally speaking. I've heard of a dialogue that goes "I want to do x, can you make this fast in hardware" or "we added these features in the new revision, can you use them for anything?" but this kind of concern is surprising. Maybe the concern is that RISC-V is making mistakes "so elementary" that it's leaking into the world of software engineering?

> You can't be friends with a country which commits joining a military alliance which puts your ports and navy under the control of your enemies.

It's a defensive alliance, one that is designed to stop Russia doing exactly what its doing now.

Russia does not get to decide what alliances its neighbours join. Russia does not get to invade, rape and slaughter innocent civilians just because it wants to.

Ukraine and Russia don't have to be friends just because they are neighbours.
