Your last paragraph reminds me of what my wife calls “one of your favorite sayings.”

“It’s difficult to respect someone that doesn’t respect themselves.”

Of course that doesn’t mean treat people in a disrespectful manner, but I don’t understand why anyone would wish to be a teacher in the US.

It’s not a pleasant experience. And the money isn’t enough for most people.

Education is a bit like healthcare. If you want to make money in healthcare, you don’t become a doctor. You become an administrator. Same goes for education.

This has been the bane of science for as long as science has been around: How do you take something that isn't particularly interesting to laypersons and help them understand how important this little micro-bit of progress might be... on not be... It's hard.

Cookies should always be used in conjunction with a TLS Session ID.

If the session ID doesn't match, then throw away the cookies.

Session ID is designed to be hard to steal - in some clients, it actually uses keys from the TPM to derive the session ID - so even if someone steals the browser cookie jar, there is no way they can recreate the session ID.

Sadly today very few sites check the session ID

Profit and growth go together. In Amazon's case lots of profit is what fueled their growth: at each point they made far more money than needed to sustain, so they bought growth instead of paying out to shareholders.

The two are intricately related.

So I’m a big anti-car advocate but walking to a bus, taking the bus to a train, and taking the train to Paris (and maybe taking the metro around Paris?) and of course going all the way back sounds like a thing a car person would bemoan as a failure. Must be nice to get to Paris so easily I’ll admit.

Personally, if I have to take more than 2 modalities of transit to get where I have to go then I just use a car (taxi).

Maybe the French are a bit different, but in America no one would want that. The idea that you’re beholden to the others schedule (or multiple others!) and it could be late or off or whatever or if you miss it you’re screwed is exactly what Americans fear most about communal transit. The American independent mindset would kill that.

The few I can notice real effects with are;

Iron, but I typically have low iron. Takes a while to kick in.

Beta-alanine: I notice same day improvements in lung function

Vitamin D: but only after a couple weeks and only if I'm low.

Besides that I've found no correlation at all, but this is super anecdotal anyway.
That's probably better. But probably hard to implement.
> In Trinidad people seem to see child rearing as a power struggle where parents are the master and children are subservient

(Disclaimer: don't have kids; did raise a puppy with only positive reinforcement.)

This model of "power struggle" seems distressingly common throughout history, with kids and with dogs. And an awful lot of people seem to think it's either that, or no standards at all.
Not really because those places encourage the sort of engagement the story facilitates.

HN discourages it.

That’s my point. On HN removing what might be mistaken for trolling is a matter of good taste and calling it “delicacy” doesn’t change that.

It just adds a layer of irony to the question.
Hey you're right, I agree about problems coming from focusing on the wrong level of abstraction, and thanks for your clarity.

I was working on a project and had to install a file watcher for Node.js because the process inside Docker wasn't seeing the file changes from the IDE on the host for some reason, or using too much CPU, can't quite remember. I think it was called Watchman:

https://facebook.github.io/watchman/

There are others:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13695046/watch-a-folder-...

They use inotify when possible, but fall back to other methods, including full scan (recursive? bisect? can't remember the term) of the directory and file timestamps.

I hadn't put it together that it could be used to implement reactive programming. But I have made toy workflows with folder watchers using AppleScript on macOS.

For funding, maybe I could try Reddit or something. I'm realizing that many of my problems come from spending too much time in my own head and not keeping up with trends.
I don't, however I am generally able to flex my days a lot due to working mostly from home and also being able to complete my work fairly quickly.

A lot of people at my employer do work different schedules though. Either 4 day weeks or compressed hours (9 longer days & one day off).

I think it's a cultural thing where the organisation recognises work is work and you also deserve a life on your terms.

Strangely appropriate.
Yes, because it's the country where I live in, and I (like most other people) care about my culture.
Recently it took me 7 re-submissions to get an app through app review. The reason? I was using a third-party SDK! One reviewer figured that the SDK is contained in the app and this means it counts as content. And any third-party content requires a written and signed agreement with me personally which for an open source code from github I obviously didn't have. I was trying to explain the situation but each consecutive reviewer was just copying and pasting the same rejection.
The process is just so broken.
Physically harming a child was first outlawed in Sweden (Finland soon followed). In Sweden the majority was against this law but once it was introduced attitudes changed. In Sweden this law is often seen as an example of how progressive laws do not have to follow public opinions but can also help form them.

The vast majority of this does not belong in a math classroom. Math classrooms do not primarily cover the history or sociology of mathematics; they cover (or, at least, should cover) how to do algebra.

Perhaps those things could enrich curricula once students were actually being taught math, but schools fail at that. And some districts (e.g. SFUSD) have taken to banning the teaching of algebra in middle school because it's "inequitable."

That's pretty cool. Gotta read the whole thing now.

e: kinda relevant to the other subthread about time sync:

> Correlating ToA measurements requires a common time base and precise time synchronization in the sensor network. The Routing Integrated Time Synchronization (RITS) [15] protocol relies on very accurate MAC-layer time-stamping to embed the cumulative delay that a data message accrued since the time of the detection in the message itself. That is, at every node it measures the time the message spent there and adds this to the number in the time delay slot of the message, right before it leaves the current node. Every receiving node can subtract the delay from its current time to obtain the detection time in its local time reference. The service provides very accurate time conversion (few μs per hop error), which is more than adequate for this application. Note, that the motes also need to convert the sensorboard time stamps to mote time as it is described earlier.
A forest on a still night is much quieter than most urban areas.
That's a good point, and required time precision seems like it should be proportional to the velocity of the signal being investigated. I had some bad experiences trying to use gps time for RDF, but that might not apply here.

Sounds like it?

The anti-sniper systems I knew about already (Boomerang) are that single-site setup where time sync isn't a problem. The "Individual Gunshot Detector" sounds more like what you're describing.

The fact that constant-folding is hard because the C language doesn't have portable semantics for basic things like integer addition (with overflow) is just braindead.
Vegetarian here who recently started taking multi vitamins + extra vitamin d + k2 (after being diagnosed with a severe vitamin d deficiency). I also get less tired since and even more so my sleep has improved drastically within about 2 months. I fall asleep _so_ much faster. Usually 10 minutes now instead of an hour and I also sleep through most nights instead of waking up 6 or 7 times for no reason for the past 10 years. I haven't changed other variables (I think) but so far I am happy with the results. Also purely anecdotal.
I don’t understand why it’s just a one time payment?

If you’re doing a micro-startup, you need valuable tools and insight today. You don’t care about 12 months from now. You certainly don’t care about $99 twelve months from now…

If it was $99/yr would it decrease your conversion rate even a little bit?

For fun, add a toggle to let people set it to not auto-renew and Tell HN a month from now how it went?

Don’t actually implement any recurring billing code until 11 months from now, just save sign-up date and what renewal preference they selected in a database somewhere?

Possibly never bother even writing the code to kick out people who don’t pay for their renewal?

Actually, maybe frame it as a way for micro-startups that succeed with your help, they will basically have a way to keep donating $99 a year to a tool that really helped them, even if they outgrow it?

Hmmm… pricing is hard. But lifetime service memberships inevitably become an albatross don’t they?

I can tell you this - a $99 customer has lifetime value of $99, but a $99/yr customer has lifetime value of $99 * 1.0 / C. Where C is churn and worst case churn is 1.00 but realistically will be less than 1.00 (100%).

In any case, it would be hugely interesting to play with that pricing model!
In a hypothetical world where personal data is securely shared and stored, I'd prefer a more targeted ads (if ad free is not an option or the price of that option does not justify the content)

To protect is always the initial goal, and directly dangerous videos are the low hanging fruits.

I'd say "viral videos" are too recent to be part of History yet, but shutting down a dangerous viral video is not very far from "banning immoral content", which is not very far itself from "banning hate speech".

It's not that easy to draw a line because it is a continuum.

Consensus and censorship is what many countries do: People vote for MPs, MPs vote laws against hate speech, pornography, etc. Or at least how it's supposed to work on the paper.

The same way, we could decide for laws against media that propagates misinformation - and a judge would decide. We could do that. The tools are on the workbench, why we can't use them is another problem.
It seems the article extremely clearly communicates (as your plentiful quotes aptly demonstrate) that the evidence in question is a computational model.

I do not get your point about this being bad science communication at all. Your own quotes demonstrate that the press release is crystal clear about the type of evidence.

Your beef is with the science, not the communication. And you shouldn’t mix those two up.

> The researchers used a colloidal model of water in their simulation, and then two widely used molecular models of water. Colloids are particles that can be a thousand times larger than a single water molecule. By virtue of their relatively bigger size, and hence slower movements, colloids are used to observe and understand physical phenomena that also occur at the much smaller atomic and molecular length scales.

> Dr Chakrabarti, a co-author, says: “This colloidal model of water provides a magnifying glass into molecular water, and enables us to unravel the secrets of water concerning the tale of two liquids.”

this seems backward to me? the colloidal model sounds like a higher level model of molecular water: the opposite of a magnifying glass. or is it that they model several molecules within the context of a single colloid, and by modeling only one colloid instead of a larger volume it becomes computationally feasible to use a more detailed model of the molecular behavior within that small space?

I used to work 4 days a week for some years. Used to hate Mondays, then I loved Mondays, and hated Tuesdays instead. Worked fine until the company changed direction and the work got too stressful, so I ended up quitting and retiring. It was an easy negotiation, we already had one guy taking every Wednesday off.
They want licensed engineers so they hire them as consultants and pay no sick leave and vacations.

Becoming licensed is mostly needed if you want to work on your own. You pay less taxes but have ZERO safety, so in theory you should earn much more and work for many customers. But those shitty consultancy companies hire consultants and pay them very little.

I negotiated this year down to 36 hours, being 4 days of 9 hours and Wednesdays off. It’s amazing.

How to do it? I think it’s one of those things you can target on purpose.

Regarding my case, I have a good relationship with my superiors, I fulfill the goals which are put in front of me, team is happy etc, etc.
> The answer is resoundingly no.

Not only is it a resounding no, there is ongoing research to find the roots of this cliche.

I can't seem to find the article, but it traces it back to this chemical engineer who did a statistical analysis of the bass lines and cadencial formulae in Bach's chorales.

I've even seen some scans of his analyses, it's wild stuff. Maybe it's on libgen? I can't remember but you can probably do a search for it...

But that’s San Jose - I think we’re seeing the problem spread to more reaches of the US. For example, Savannah, GA is a mostly stagnant area with only 4,000 population growth since 2017 and not much job growth. Meanwhile, the average rent for a 2 bedroom was stuck under $1100 until 2018, and after Covid the expiration of the CDC moratorium enabled a rent boom to $1500. I can guarantee you income has not risen to match that, so anyone already in an apartment is simply dedicating more of their income to paying the rent.

you are correct that I should have stated "our republic" not all republics.

That said, the idea that "states rights" originated after the civil war is absurd on face vale. Powers and autonomy left to the states are evident in our founding documentation, and obviously present in the lead up to the civil war as well.

The idea that a centralized government leaves no powers to the state and local level is a silly concept and counterfactual. It is obvious in the interstate commerce clause and many other parts of the constitution.
I agree. The standard is not infinite accommodation but reasonable accommodations.

My in-laws bought a "big" plasma TV in the mid 2000's after much research and deliberation. A few weeks ago they won a new LED TV and set the plasma aside.

I'm not sure if it's the sum of money they spent originally or a real difference, but my mother in law still prefers the plasma TV.

Has anyone had similar very positive feelings towards plasma versus recent new TV's?
Since this article focuses in on Bach chorales, here's a project I headed up in 2020 during the first months of covid to record (remotely; each person recorded their part individually, then sent it in) all the chorales from Bach's St. Matthew Passion, with some of the greatest Bach singers and players in North America, along with a brief talk before each chorale. Also, we obtained an acoustical model of Bach's church (the Thomaskirche in Leipzig) from its creator, and rendered the sound into that space, with each musician placed approximately where Bach would have had them.

Enjoy.

> a lot of people here really DO think those people who go into journalism/art/music are stupid because they're not working in more lucrative fields.

I don’t think they are stupid as people have interests and there’s many reasons to pursue a career other than money.

I just think they are stupid when they complain about how they don’t make a higher income in these fields. The income potential of these fields is known, so complaining about this, once in the field, is really just an irrational thing.
Some of these are fair criticism. There's a few key things missing for immersion, especially if you're flying low and slow.

By contrast though, I mostly fly VFR in the Bay Area in the sim. I can see my house, complete with our car in the driveway (although I'm annoyed it has older imagery from before landscaping).

When I went on a discovery flight IRL, I was stunned by how easily I could navigate from the air and locate my home. It was eerily familiar. Same when I went on a flight in Kauai. I was able to plan out photos in advance. I was equally stunned with how familiar the airport felt.

This has all aided visual familiarity with the traffic patterns at these places, especially KSQL where you have to watch out for the bravo.

Given recent improvements and where it's heading,I have nothing but high hopes and faith it will improve. Hell, we have an addon that adds more bird traffic. My only gripe is how expensive or subscription based some addons are that shouldn't be.

Nobody in their right mind would become a teacher today. John Q. Public, just because he's paying "some taxes" that's "contributing to your pay" think he's your boss and can order you around like they're Donald Trump acting on The Apprentice. Everyone feels entitled to tell you why education sucks so much today and why it was so wonderful 50 years ago. Why would anyone of sound mind go into the profession? I've thought about it from time to time, but there's simply no way I'm subjecting myself to that crap! It's not so much as "nobody wants to teach anymore" as it is the general public simply sucks and having to interact with them, with them thinking they're your boss, is more of a soul-suck than spending a weekend with a Dementor!
