You call the overwhelming majority of the world population unwashed savages whose opinion must be disregarded, and then sit there in disbelief that most people might dislike see your country (of which, sadly, that attitude is quite representative) as a threat.

Huh, the GH repo contains a logback-async test case, but the article omits it. I've found it to be pretty fast in the past.
It doesn't make a lot of sense for kindergarten either -- I'd probably want someone who understands child socialization and emotional regulation in that position (if I was a parent). The younger they are, the more pressing it is for the teacher to be a professional.

Sure attacking a cop is already illegal. But you’re suggesting a cop, in the process of arresting someone, should allow someone to stand 1ft away from them as long as the purpose is to record them?

Yes, cops already have leeway to maintain a safe distance between themselves and spectators, but as others have said, this just puts an exact number on a fuzzy limit the courts have already supported.
A math major will require you to take a bunch of courses that you don't need. For example, imagine spending an entire semester just to learn induction and some very basic proofs. Even if you think you understand the material, these courses won't be easy. There will be a high volume of arbitrary homework and passing exams often requires drilling rote computations.

I would actually disagree with this one even though I agree with the overall sentiment.

Hypercars are much better than regular/sports cars, and should be considered the atomic clock equivalent to the quartz watch - far more accuracy/performance albeit at a significant literal cost.

I do not know the real world implications of hyper cars on fuel consumption (I can't expect it to be very good, but I don't expect too many such vehicles either). For better or for worse there are many more mundane things that can have a much larger improvement for human life (eg reducing food waste).

If it costs more to precisely meter than the savings for 99% of individuals, it was a bad (forced) program to upgrade to smart meter infra - it's not free. Could have invested the money into demand reduction (free LED bulbs, insulation loans etc.) or supply improvements.

Don't overspend on getting to 100% fairness.

Same reason why if you ask for a meter audit, they'll do nothing if it's +/- 2%, even though anything other than 0.000000000000000000000000% error is unfair.

I love the closing quote:

"If [this machine] satisfies the need, it is never obsolete. (...) If the need continues to exist until the year 2000, then this machine is still satisfactory. There is no such thing as hardware obsolescence. That is a phrase that was coined by the naysayers in this industry. That's baloney."

It is so far from reality for the general public, but so true for my 1980's machines that are still very funny, to play with and program!

I'd like to assume a little bit better of them. Even if they don't think, per se, about their kids' education, I suspect that they (1) have their own experiences in public schools to reflect on, and (2) experience familial instincts that nudge them towards higher degrees of concern.
Tangential, but does “copyright strikes” system on YouTube feels horrifically dystopian to anyone else?

In one way, it reads, “if you break the law enough, we’ll disable your account. Naughty naughty!” But then when you look at how the system works, almost anyone can just claim they own a copyright with absolutely no proof which has massive implications to your account whether that means you can have your account deactivated or (even more scary) you can be demonetized or have penalties (aka royalties) paid to the “original” creator.

This whole thing feels like a combination of the Salem witch trials, a social credit score, and The Hunger Games disgusted as a egalitarianism.

Doesn’t seem like a very ground study. But living in Asia has taught me masks do work, and they work at school. My 3yo doesn’t get a cold when the 1 kid in the class is sneezing and coughing. The 1 case of covid didn’t spread in the school to Teachers or students.

But I get there’s a bunch of adults who can’t wear masks as well as a 3yo so in that case the adults are more likely to catch or spread covid with their inability to wear masks right.
Unless your definition of "theft" is a very expansive one that covers everything from swiping something from a store to downloading movies, the act that ubisoft is doing really isn't comparable to anything that's "ancient, which has been around forever". Back in the "ancient" world there certainly wasn't pieces of software running on networked turing machines that required authentication servers to function. The closest analogy would be some sort of widget that required a proprietary input from the manufacturer to continue functioning (eg. a car that required OEM blinker fluid to work). The manufacturer refusing to provide such inputs to the end user would definitely be something that negatively affects the end user and might even be a tort and/or run afoul of anti-consumer laws, but it's certainly not comparable to someone breaking into your house and making off with your car. You still have the original physical disk and/or bits, after all.
Man this thing needs a sortable data table rather than a visualization than seems to dislike iPads. And I thought I read once that to win like napoleon you needed to face napoleon’s opponents. He had a different combat system and elements of modern armies in a pre modern world. Freddie the great had this as well, facing some less than capable opponents.

And is this tactics or more? Others had operational sense that didn’t lead to battles. For example, somebody skilled at maneuver warfare might gain lots of territory via forcing their opponent to retreat rather than face a disadvantageous battle. This might yield no data?
It only wigs out after it times out. It works fine in Firefox for me. I did not understand exactly what it was doing at first, but it seems to be a trainer for precisely timing the space between your keystrokes.
Yes, and the cosmological-scale universe does not satisfy the constraints of SR. SR is the limit of GR in the non-gravitating limit, but the stress-energy tensor is nonzero; we don't live in a Milne universe.

Motivated reasoning, really? Yes, a universe that censors CTCs but not FLT is more interesting than one where all FLT results in CTCs. I can't understand how that makes it less likely; the universe is in general extremely interesting, not dull.

This study appears to be continuing the effort to declare ASD people scientifically subhuman.

In particular the bizarre focus on phylogeny has no other rational basis. There is nothing about phylogeny and ASD which would suggest there is any reason to study the two together, other than this claim.

The conclusion contains very loud dogwhistles for next steps:

> It is now clear that the phylogenetic proximity of an organism relatively to us is intuitively—although indirectly—accessible through our empathic perceptions and that it significantly modulates our response toward it.

> Earth biodiversity puts at the disposal of scientists a plethoric gradient of organisms that are more or less evolutionary close to us, more or less morphologically and behaviorally resembling us, and therefore anthropocentrically perceived and treated as being more or less human.

Attempting to remove some of the bizarre and intentionally distracting verbosity: We can judge organisms as being "more or less human"; i.e. more or less related to 'us'; via our "empathic perceptions", "intuitively". Organisms which do not "behaviorally resembl[e] us" are "therefore" "less human".

> For example, most of us are able to spontaneously perceive that a chimp shares more things in common with us than with a frog, or likewise, a frog with us more than with a snail.

> For these reasons, in most of the situations, studies dealing with the human mind and its relation to the natural world (e.g., cognitive sciences, psychology, human evolutionary biology, anthropology) would benefit from abandoning the animal operational concept, and substituting this representation by an interpretive grid objectively accounting for evolutionary divergence with human.

Restated, with a bit more of my own interpolation this time: Perception is a valid method for determining how human something is. [ASD people have already demonstrated a self-identification as less human, per this study.] We too should "substitute" this "objective[]" "interpretive grid" for the "operational concept" [which allows us currently to identify ASD people as human], and thereby recognize an "evolutionary divergence with human".

> Such a paradigm shift could not only sharpen investigations on human interactions with the living world, but could also, as evidenced by the present work, open new opportunities to better understand the perception our own species has of itself.

> The category of "animals" (used indiscriminately and in opposition to humans) thus appears not to be more relevant from a cognitivist perspective than it was for biology.

Restated: There is an "opportunit[y]" to be had to "better understand" the relation of "our own species" to those we merely perceive to be our own species. Thus far the "opposition" of the "category of 'animals'" "to humans" has been "indiscriminate[]"; i.e. we have located some organisms in the wrong category between the two, or we have failed to recognize some overlap between the categories.
Setting aside for a moment the fact that chronic, day-in-day-out long term use of N95s has never been studied for potential ill effects, why is it so difficult to discern any reduction in community transmission from Germany's N95 mandates?
I have been wondering more generally, why there is no social site to attach metadata to research papers. That way, such work could be crowd-sourced.

Especially interesting metadata would be the definitions used in the paper, as sell as the philosophy of science on which the paper is based on.
Why do you want to push this so badly? If you want to give it out for free, why have it on MS Store?
I noticed a similar narrative and noticed it even first hand on some accounts I am following on Instagram which only recently started moving to TikTok. The growth is insane. Comedians with something like 10k followers on Instagram getting 1-2m views on their TikToks in their first few vids. But they are fully adjusting to the TikTok format and dynamic.

On instagram I am increasingly seeing ads for popular sports and music stars - which I would suspect could be triggered by unsatisfying reach or growth for them and Instagram cutting down even more on free exposure.

If TikTok can sustain a mechanism that boosts new creators it will be golden for a long time. Organic growth seems to be dead for Instagram and YouTube unless someone puts in 10x the effort than for TikTok.
I found this[1] report (PDF) from the DEA:

"Currently, China remains the primary source of fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked through international mail and express consignment operations environment, as well as the main source for all fentanyl-related substances trafficked into the United States. Seizures of fentanyl sourced from China average less than one kilogram in weight, and often test above 90 percent concentration of pure fentanyl."

Presumably, if the CCP wanted to do so, they could put an end to the groups shipping this deadly substance into the United States.

Migrant workers in my area (eastern-central Canada) are getting legal minimum wage ($14 to $15 per hour). Some may be abused and /or mismanaged, so are many locals working for minimum wage. That kind of seasonal revenue can be a blessing for families in Mexico or Guatemala, feeding them year long. That being said, I know their situation is not ideal. Thanks for making me reflect on the people feeding us.
In some places (I don't think it's everywhere) Uber charges/pays the estimated fare from before the trip regardless of the route actually taken, I believe. In theory that makes it harder to do the thing being described, but it also obviously means a driver who gets stuck in traffic on the route uber says they should take is gonna get screwed.
I think the demand for timeline commitments comes from a worry that otherwise the request will never be done, or that it will languish in the queue behind less important things.

Where possible, I try to frame my relationship with my stakeholders in terms of their priority order for their requests of me, and to demonstrate consistent progress on that stream. Thus, we have an understanding that the things they ask for do get done, and they want a particular one done sooner, they can move it up in the stack rank.
This is really exciting. I absolutely hate the rare occurrences where I have to use chrome / google translate just to buy something from an amazon store that does not have an english version. Like most EU amazons or country specific stores.

Having the ability to harness all this power locally would be awesome as both a developer and user. Big thanks to the team, whoever you are. I like the choice of languages. Not quite the usual suspects hehe
It requires x86/64 because it runs on WebAssembly.
The work is there regardless of who does it. It’s a net zero change in total amount of work. It’s more efficient to have the user with the problem to write up the initial report, as they’re the ones with the most details. And it’s better to let IT focus on actually solving other things than to have a highly paid workforce just writing up tickets.
Any parents here considered just getting together with a few others and directly hiring a teacher or two? Pretty comparable to private school and it would let you fix all the other crap about education, from early start times for teenagers to piles of paperwork for the teacher to class sizes to the weak feedback loop.
You have actual Crohn's or IBS? Because your symptoms while distressing don't sound like Crohn's at all. Crohn's is an autoimmune inflammatory condition with actual tissue destruction. People with Crohn's flares don't show up to the ED with constipation, they often show up with profusely bloody diarrhea. Additionally weight loss and anemia. They may likely require admission for high dose steroids. People with Crohn's will often need surgery. What you're describing sounds more like IBS.

A bottle of kefir is unlikely to hurt. However, I am quite skeptical that such a thing has any prophylactic effect once a recurrent process like Crohn's is set in motion - like pissing on a gasoline fire. A bottle of kefir is not going to touch an actual Crohn's flare at all.

There's no good evidence that any specific diets seem to help the chronic course of Crohn's unfortunately, and it's not like no one has looked.
Sure, but the track gauge in no way assists fare recovery.
They've also got a substantially better seal around the edges.
Exactly so as a 10-12 yr old it was kind of either read physical encyclopedias, do random prank calls from white pages, or hack around on your Atari 400/C64/NES/Amiga.. (well I guess or go skateboarding)
Ask HN: How to Finish a Side Project?
I studied CS in college and for a few years I had this project of building an app to crawl and visualize the intellectual web (starting small with the Twitter API for example; and asking feedback on programming help Discord servers for quick reply). However, I never managed to keep consistency in the development of the app, despite of being mostly committed (I don't have many responsabilities or priorities).

I feel like I have a disease to focus at this point, but I also feel like most developers can't ship a useful solo project and it recomforts me.

I only manage to focus in the evening or when I have somebody to talk with about the app or when somebody on a forum can help me to fix a bug.

So when you are blocked because the side project path is not clear, what do you do?
I don't have any strong opinions on Notion, but the for the logseq social media mafia, optimal note-taking, not optimal doing is the means and the end. I switched from evernote to obsidian. It's good enough for me, but I have struggled to make it work in the cloud and mobile, why self-hosting the files. But I also write stuff down on paper, Trello, Slack, email, etc. So maybe I'm not the best person to weigh in on obsessing over proper note taking.

There are professions that've been doing this for decades without any apparent negative impacts.
Possibly it has to do with who provided funding, or selection by a certain type of language families.
I’ve used non-Uber taxi apps in cities like Austin and they failed to show up multiple times and about 50% of the time the “finding driver” part takes about 15-20 minutes before I gave up and just used Uber (one time my phone died during this process and I was left with no taxi). It’s obviously treated like a 3rd tier part of their companies.

People want tech companies providing taxi services, they don’t just want the old local taxi service with a half-assed app bolted on + the usual dirty city taxi cars w/ no review process.
This is really cool, well done. The fractal concept has always been helpful to me.

I made a similar iPad app to this idea a while ago, called Mindscope. Kind of a fractal whiteboard / Workflowy meets Scapple. http://www.mindscopeapp.com

Always wished I had the time to make a new version some day…
Yes exactly. Nothing "changes" at the other end (although, there has been arguments regarding the Wigner's Friend thought experiments about this... see Guerin 2021)

Just be careful when reading up on this about a subtlety here - as long as both A and B measure the same property, say "spin along Y axis", a measurement they will always both measure the opposite of, the experiment will seem just like the "unopened envelopes" popular description of entanglement which is not really magical. It's annoying that this particular description keeps being made..

The interesting things happen when you start mixing up the measurements so A and B measure different, but correlated, properties. In the context of Bell's tests, they will not measure in the exact same basis (like vertical polarization), one of them will rotate the basis slightly, say 30 or 60 degrees. And the resulting correlations between A and B in this scenario can't be explained by hidden variables ("unopened envelopes describing the result of all possible measurements") but is predicted correctly by quantum mechanics.
Your one anecdote overturns this whole study?

Anisotropy of space is (a) again adding complications and (b) unlikely to produce such a spherically symmetric redshift. The CMB is infamous for how smooth it is. The different region of space would have to be perfectly spherical with us in the dead center. May as well revive geocentrism.

Look, if we did find evidence like that from JWST or whatever, we'd re-evaluate what best meets Occam's razor for the totality of the evidence. But that doesn't change the fact that with our current evidence, that explanation is expansion of space. Other stuff is sci-fi at best. Fun to think about, but no reason to actually believe it.

The story for dark matter is more complicated, but similar in broad outline. The more the alternative theories try to fit all the evidence, the closer they get to reinventing dark matter. You have something that walks like matter and quacks like matter, so the smart money says it's matter.
I tend to agree with Fred's view that this litigation will likely end with a settlement north of $1bn for Elon to walk away. Twitter BOD doesn't actually want to force Elon to buy TWTR, but has a fiduciary obligation to do so. That said, Elon is playing multidimensional chess if this TWTR bid was just a pretext to unload $8.5bn worth of Tesla stock.
