Yes, it's a fulfillment-center position. The person has a medical restriction that they can not lift more than 50lbs for an indefinite period. The job that they had requires "very frequently" lifting more than 50lbs, and so they have been told that since being able to lift 50lbs is a core requirement of the job function that they would have to move to a different position which had different duties and didn't require heavy lifting -- but the position that they had available for the individual is a lower-paying one.

A lot of the semantic web has evolved, spurred on by SEO and the need to accurately scrape data from web pages. The old semantic web seemed to be more of a solution in search of every problem. I'm not surprised that searches for "semantic web" are down - as most interest now is focused on structured data via microformats, LD-JSON and standards published at schema.org.

Because people understand that their perspective might be incomplete or wrong, and/or the consequences of failure are reversible.

People also understand that "correctness" is often subjective and not boolean in nature, so insisting their opinion is in all ways the most correct would be silly.
I know nothing of astrophysics and my opinion counts for shithole.

But DM has always reminded me of aether (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_(classical_element)) - a magical element that we add to current understanding of physics to correct for errors caused by missing knowledge. DM sounds so magical that it feels like an unknown force akeen to gravitation.

But once again, I don't know anything about this, so, who cares.

This all sounds ... horrific. I can't understand why anyone would want to play the game you describe, because as soon as you're hooking in actual finance ... what you have now is a job.

Wikipedia is still unclear about how official is the renaming of the FPUT problem, and I guess that's determined by new publications using the new name?

The problem is even if you aren't one and even if you are not the one targeted by DHS/FBI, you could still be caught in it if someone with a similar name was caught up on it (like "Judy Smith", an alias used by an actual US domestic terrorist, which significantly inconvenienced a lot of Judy Smiths).

I mean, sure programs like TSA TRIP exists to mitigate this, but in practice no-one outside of TSA readily honors or knows them (and certainly not Equifax, which considering credit scores are widely utilized, would definitely impact their day-to-day life).

My previous comment about the filters was unclear, sorry.

I just opened a fresh box of GN bags for my C1, and it came with two flat filters along with the bags.

One is a soft filter with Air Clean printed on it. It has cut lines that match the size of the HEPA filter.

My C1 came without the HEPA filter but had a filter holder designed to hold the soft filter if you don't have the HEPA. I put a HEPA filter in mine, so I don't use that holder or this soft filter.

The other is the wiry scratchy filter which goes in the vertical filter holder. This is the pre-motor filter you're talking about, and it has cut lines that match that filter holder. I use this one along with the HEPA filter.

Are we on the same page now? Want to make sure I didn't get it wrong. :-)
To observe something, you need another reference frame.

Without an external reference frame, there's no extrinsic information about the point, and if the point is dimensionless, then there is no intrinsic information, either.

What you are left with, is the notion of a point, with no way to describe or observe it.
Oh lovely, you have to pay to get a copy of the list. Gotta make sure only the entrenched big tech companies can effectively filter out extremist content, huh?
I agree sensationalism isn't good... but I think they honestly hit the mark. People getting fully absorbed in utter nonsense.

Be it from TV or social media.
I don't watch the news, but looking at CNN as it stands...

Top 5 articles are:

DeSantis does things in Florida
Prosecutor suspended by DeSantis has something to say
Biden has deadline for something in October
Trump takes questions
Republican Extremists defend Trump

Top 5 on NPR:

Fear turns to shock, discovered Muslim killer is also Muslim
Giraffe gives birth to baby
Debate about "Don't Tread on Me" plates
Iranian plotted to kill John Bolton

Top on Fox:

Something about Biden's son
Something about a disease in China
Students charged in murder of Texas teen
don't even care to list the rest...

You get the picture... its all just utter nonsense. News for the sake of news. News channels don't have anything important so they have to find something and make it important. Sure... one or two of those articles may be relevant or interesting to you but for most people it should just be noise.

TV _was_ a huge problem, the problem just migrated to social media. The term couch potato fell out of favor but that's what people used to be called that did nothing but watch TV.

I'm kinda ranting and not structuring this well... but I just want to say I'm not trying to be all high and mighty and imply that going on HN or not having TikTok makes me a better person. We all kill time in our own ways... but it has to be admitted that some methods are healthier/more productive than others.
The bad news is the defaults on modern platforms are often very bad for latency. The good news is that it is possible to achieve good latency on most modern systems with a lot of attention to detail. With good hardware and good software it is even possible to e.g. run console emulators with lower latency than they would have on original hardware connected to a CRT. I just wrote a three part series detailing a lot of ways to improve latency:

So Los Alamos is just going to rip off their own researchers now? Are reviewers at PNAS asleep?

I'm starting to think HN should be renamed to "another sad day in science".
They don’t lack for developer bandwidth. They lack direction and any semblance of focus beyond protecting ad revenue.
I got reprimanded for not posting enough comments on issues and then was compared to another engineer.. who didn’t post timely comments on issues. At some point it’s not about trying to determine if you’re an underperformer but just that they want you out. Lots more tales from that crypt but I’m happy where I am at the moment

We've been looking for dark matter for a long time without success. Until we actually find it, I think it is premature to dismiss out of hand other theories that explain the same phenomena. I'm not sure MOND is any better than DM, but I think it is worth at least pursuing the idea that maybe DM doesn't exist and there is something about gravity that isn't fully explained by general relativity.

Yes!! I haven't had struggles with substance addiction, but I see SO much overlap in what you described as how much extra work and problem solving and self-leadership addicts have to foster and constantly practice to survive, let alone thrive, in what I've had to do to try to heal my depression and other maladies. It's like, I can't even begin to describe how much work it's been to someone who hasn't had to deal with that kind of a problem.

I was given an irrevocable 100 hour a week job called "try to survive while depressed" when I was 17, and thrown in the deep end with no guide, no mentors, and no reasons why. Every day of my life is a battle to keep my head above water. For years I barely managed and somehow am still here, but it is relentlessly difficult. Some days you think you're starting to get things figured out, on a roll, and then your positive wellbeing evaporates into thin air from the time it takes you to walk from your car to your apartment door. What is this life? You start to lose all hope of even figuring out any rhyme or reason or pattern in your depression, and just try to get through the day.

When it gets to be like that, I have found MUCH solace in the mantra of the substance abuse recovery world, "One day at a time." It's like an alien tongue to someone who's never dealt with the kind of waking death spirit companion depression comes to be. How could anything be so bad that you can only focus on a single day at a time, or that doing so would help in any kind of way? Thank your everything that that phrase gives you no feeling or hope. It's the last refuge of the damned.
This is something I’m struggling with at work.

If I take the initiative to build something that I think will be helpful, or fix something that’s broken in someone else’s project, then I suddenly “own” that thing.

Which is ok, until I get 20 things piled on me that I now “own”, and I can no longer keep up with them all.

Suddenly I’m the impediment to getting anything done, because everyone turns from “collaborative problem solvers” into “users of my thing”, and when any of the things need more things added to it, then my “things” are no longer just tools to make their jobs better.

They are now, instead, obstacles somehow keeping everyone from doing the things they were managing to do (less efficiently and less comfortably) before.

It's amazing that even theoretical physicists are coerced into believing in superstition by mathematics.
"Riemannian spaces (i.e. "curved" spaces) give better approximations, but which are still not good enough."

Right, as I said above this work shows we've nonlinear effects at work, whilst this was obvious in the past we should have taken more notice of the fact. Whilst Riemann provides say an ideal mathematical model (the ideal case) as we obserce Nature doesn't always comply, it insists on adding 'distortions' of its own.

For the same reason these 'transfer' curves have nonlinear characteristics it seems other significant interactions are at work, namely cross-coupling between color channels. We see this in color film emulsions where color bleeds from one layer to another and this effect is also nonlinear (if the bleed were linear across the transfer curve then we could simply bias it out but it's not thus in practice it's nigh on impossible to correct).

In effect this cross-coupling is essentially equivalent to cross-modulation distortion in electronic circuits and the mixing can be modeled mathematically in a similar way.

No doubt it remains to be seen whether this new work has any significant bearing on this or not.

Surely it pays for itself if they can sign up users as fast as they can scale? But if capital is the problem, maybe Starlink should be IPO'd the old fashioned way, to raise capital rather than cash out investors.
I phrased this badly, none of these situations applied, they were just situations where I would recommend using React, to show I'm not opposed to React as such.

The problem I think is that you think me asking a question is adversarial, while I'm just... asking a question in good faith. I'm not considering it a completely off the wall idea at all, I want to know why they think it's a good idea, because I don't understand. This is where the autism comes in, I think. You think I'm being adversarial and dismissive, I think I am open and engaged.

I put a tremendous amount of effort into being socially pleasant, but there still are situations where I think I am doing my best to fully engage with the other person, yet there is a whole game of subtext I am not getting. This is very different from me not accepting I am wrong.

I would love to get the subtext, trust me, and I work hard at it. But it's playing a game that I don't have the rules to. Hopefully what I'm writing will help someone just maybe pause, and think, "did they actually ask this question to be dismissive? or do they just ask because they want to help you solve your problem?." Social grace and empathy goes both ways.

Oh, there absolutely are people who like to do this, but their intent is not at all altruistic.
I'll grow up as soon as you get out of the silly habit of treating CO2 as the silver bullet which is the control knob of the climate.

You see, we have this thing called the Sun which is quite large compared to the Earth & emits quite large amounts of energy which fluctuates in large magnitudes in many different cycles, some of which last > 10000 years. In recorded history, we have a small sample of these cycles. Could CO2 be a lagging effect of rising temperature & not the cause of the rising temperature? The ocean contains CO2 & as the ocean heats up, CO2 is emitted.

It's strange how much confirmation bias some people have with their silver bullet models. Weren't we supposed to not have any more glaciers by now according to some of the models by the esteemed institutions?

Am I steelmanning? CO2 emitted from humans is blamed for drastically changing the climate of the Earth while that big orb in the sky which is now leaving it's "warm period" & has historically been the major cause of climate change is now disregarded by models which have proven unable to predict the future. I'm afraid that I am not steelmanning. I wish I was...Devil Gas is quite the appropriate term. If only we can we exterminate all of that Devil Gas, we can save the planet! We simply need a War on Devil Gas to show it that we mean bu$ine$$...or we simply need to block out the Sun. If you're not with me, you are against the planet.

Yes, I know...I need to grow up and eat ze bugs in ze pod that I will live in because I will own nothing & be happy. Gaia cries everytime I drive my SUV with the AC on eating a juicy burger. The amount of cow farts & rainwatered grass that produced the burger is raising ze temperature causing much anger! I am ashamed. Pass me ze bugs.

Why do we need to colonize other planets?

Most growth comes from inventing new things that induce demand. E.g. computers becoming efficient enough to be in everyone's pocket means _everyone wants one in their pocket._ (and thus GDP line goes up)
Thus to continuously grow we need to continuously turn the earth-matter we have available into more and more valuable things. Certainly it's not infinite, but I doubt we need to colonize another planet to keep up current growth rate for many centuries, we just need to prioritize knowledge generation (and thus inventions that increase value) over consumption. This usually only occurs during wartime, when existential threats to nations mean that knowledge generation is essential to survival.

I think terrorism is premeditated and conducted with hatred. This certainly describes some people who were there, but the problem with a mob is that 90% of the people are just blindly following others and aren’t thinking.

A stringbike has a completely different feel than a regular bicycle due to the energy storage in the spring. With a stringbike you don't encounter torque spikes going up a hill because the spring smooths them out.
Same here, and I'm quite literally the opposite. I'm the first to admit that I'm wrong, and I don't see how one could be logical without that trait. Being wrong is trivial compared to being right. Great care should be taken when presenting something as "correct", and equal care should be taken to communicate uncertainty, when it's present. I try very hard to never be "wrong", because I find it very uncomfortable for everyone involved. It's a waste of time and effort, and often causes emotions.

I'm also a person that has "I don't know" in the ready, in my vocabulary, which I've found is somewhat rare in the professional world, especially as education level increases.
Oh hey, I've been in two of FMWC's live competitions (though not this one) and their regular offline almost-monthly competitions.
