The big issue with intersections of convex objects is that there might be infinitely many intersection points (two cubes lying on top of each other). This creates a multitude of numerical issues. I worked on this topic extensively for a DEM software where you need to calculate a lot of these interactions with extremely high precision (overlaps between objects are usually < 1% of the bounding radius) and since it's not computer graphics but engineering you really need stability and performance. That was a real tough challenge involving lots of identifying limiting scenarios during large simulations but it works quite nicely now [0].

I did read the article, and I didn’t think that one sentence in the entire story really constituted digging into the idea of intentionally closing down several small towns and combined them into a new intentionally fire-resistant settlement, nor why that idea would be resisted by the people in the towns.

Your comment is rude, and against HN guidelines.
It seems to me that they did pay a lot to do R&D to develop computers, laptops, software, chip designs, etc.

You do not get rich writing unnecessary checks, but you do get rich writing checks towards investments that result in ROI. Such as paying TSMC to develop more advanced chips in exchange for retaining exclusivity for a certain period.
I think a conversation is eminently scalable. If an organisation cannot devote 30 minutes to checking if someone they're about to hire is at all competent, then that organisation has much, much bigger problems than hiring.

The current process also requires dedicated employee time to administer, after all - this takes no more time, involves less employee prep, and (crucially) might be valuable.

...but they're working toward multiple profiles per account.

https://techcrunch.com/2022/07/14/facebook-tests-add-up-to-f...

At first it might seem that multiple profiles directly address the OP's problem, but I'm not sure. Having a way to communicate with completely separate groups of friends is one thing, but having a way to communicate with overlapping groups of friends is quite another. AFAICT the multiple-profile feature doesn't solve the latter.

Also, the way it's implemented wrt blocking is a bit of a disaster for members of marginalized groups. Blocking is per profile, not per account, so a stalker/harasser who has had one profile blocked can trivially create another to continue their mayhem. It's ironic, because a good implementation of multiple profiles would actually be useful to protect vulnerable people. As usual, though, Facebook found a way to make it actively harmful.
So far, ad networks/platforms don't care as long as the check clears.

I think the lack of action with FaceBook & Cambridge Analytica shows exactly where this is going in the future.

AFAIK TSMC is operating Apple’s machines. If they want, and the contract allows, they can ship the machines somewhere else, and operate them there themselves or with another partner.

It’s not like TSMC builds the machines. They just operate them, and we all know what happens to the man in the middle.
They do, but not if you use a commercial platform.

But that's not the idea, at least for me. Learning languages is useful to keep your brain on edge. I speak French, English and German, and since I wanted to learn a Slavic language, i wanted to 'learn how to learn', a bit like learning scala in school is more interesting straight Java, because you add a FP paradigm, or coming from OO, learning ocaml might cover more than learning Haskell, despite being less pure.

And i read a EU study that read something like 'rather than teaching 5 years of English at school, we might be better of teaching 2 years of Esperanto then 3 years of English, especially for people whose mother tongue isn't Germanic based'. And then explain that the difference in English fluency between northern and southern Europe cannot be solely explained by education and the maternal tongue also have a significant effect.

So I'm learning Esperanto (i wanted to move to Estonia before covid, nowadays learning a new language is less pressing tbh...)

She proposes to develop theories in more promising areas, ones that have explicit conflicts between different theories (quantum gravity, quantum measurement) or conflicts between theories and observation (dark matter).

The biggest problem with something like Supersymmetry is that, contrary to what the previous poster was saying, it is not a falsifiable theory. It has free parameters that can be used to predict that supersymmetric partners to the known particles would have any mass that hasn't been ruled out yet, more or less (maybe they can't be planet sized, but they can certainly have masses that would require accelerators the size of a solar system to rule out).
I have a related question. What is the business model for mailtemi? Since it looks like a free app with no subscriptions or in-app purchases, how well is it going to be supported in the future? If it’s always going to be free, then why not open source it?

But then cash becomes a storage issue. The same way marijuana shops are blocked from depositing their cash into banks, cash with sex workers becomes a problem. How to get it into the banking system without drawing the attention of the police? Even worse, try paying bills with cash.

If you'll pardon me, I think cash deposite below $1,000 should be none of the government's business without a valid, specific warrant. If someone wants to sell drugs, sex, or graphics cards on the side for cash, it's none of the government's business.
Apple probably pays a premium on the 200 million pieces they buy. Since no one else apart from Samsung is making signficant money from Android, it'd be somewhat hard to cover the loss. PC volumes are lower, a lot of them are low-end, and Intel uses their own fab for most of their CPUs.
Pricing My SaaS
Olá pessoal, tudo bem?

Sou de outro país e tenho uma healthtech . Terminei agora meu MVP e estou com bastante dúvida em precificar meu produto.

Minha startup é B2C e ajuda as pessoas a organizarem a vida médica, fazendo com que elas coloquem no aplicativo todos os dados médicos como arquivos, exames , medicamentos, vacinas e demais informações médicas. Meu aplicativo é parecido com o MyChart e o Cerner, mas em meu país este tipo de serviço não existe

Tenho dúvida de como precificar meu serviço, pois uso AWS e quanto mais o usuário usar e anexar arquivos pior é pra mim, quanto mais ele anexar informações no aplicativo mais caro ele será para mim.

Dentre as possibilidades de precificação, a que eu mais gosto é a de planos, algo bem parecido com os planos do Spotify e Netflix.Até pensei em precificar por uso, quanto mais documentos anexados no aplicativo mais o usuário paga, mas este tipo de precificação vai fazer os usuário não colocarem muitas informações médicas no aplicativo.

Gostaria de ter um preço justo mas que não me dê prejuízo. Não posso colocar um preço de X e o meu usuário me custar 2X.

Other email providers don't allow recycling of account names - once they're gone, they're gone.

That said, I do agree that using a domain you own is better practice. However, I have been burned there before - I used a .eu domain for pretty much all of my email sign-ups for over a decade, then had the domain yanked away because of Brexit. Yes, my fault for not realising that this would happen (I lay some of the blame with my domain provider for not mentioning it to me at all).

What do you think the likelihood that they have skills actually is? If this was just "I have poor english language skills" then they could at least point companies at their real portfolio of code.

You whole comment is so much backside covering considering that this is just one in a long line of claims that were literally called conspiracy theories/misinformation/anti-vax and therefore censored into oblivion. And again it turns out to be true.

> "vaccine has bad effect x" implying that covid doesn't.

This is crazy! First off, everything and the kitchen sink is associated with COVID via Long COVID. Literally, 200+ counting symptoms can so be said to be "caused" by COVID. So according to your principle the COVID vaccines has card blanche to cause massive damage! Vaccines have a good reputation because they used to be the safest medical products available on the market. Their safety profile must be impeccable because we give them to healthy people, even children and doubly so for COVID vaccines that have been mandated by law. The cost/benefit ratio must similarly be overwhelmingly good and that means that a vaccine must protected from disease risks that are magnitudes greater than the risk from the vaccine. Now here you are basically saying "it's okay, COVID does it too". No it isn't. It's a completely different moral question if you get a condition from a naturally spreading virus vs if you get it from a medically product, especially if you were coerced to get it.

Politicians think of Big Science in terms of appropriations and sending cash to their principals, who are neither the electorate nor scientists. They don’t consider any money that buys their re-election a waste. They don’t give a rat’s ass if you discover anything and it sounds like you know it. So-called science these days is little different from military spending. As usual, follow the money.

Not exactly, but there are promising experiments that may or may not turn into something in the near future.

There are competing hypotheses for what's causing aging and how it may be "cured".

Among the more "simple" ones is that aging is programmed, for some reason like to ensure genetic diversity and that new genes can get a good chance to survive and reproduce. That's the thing with young blood seemingly doing some rejuvenation on older individuals. This has not yet resulted in huge lifespan extensions of any animals. Whether this is just because the procedures needs to be tweaked a bit or the hypothesis is wrong should become clear in the next few years I think.

Only if sex work is illegal. Which it isn't in significant parts of the developed world.

Prostitutes (male or female) here around are taxed like everybody else. In addition they need to be health checked to perform their work. Paying them in cash is really no problem neither for the client nor for the provider.

So who would you be breaking up in this case and how do you “enforce anti-trust” laws on a Taiwanese company?

How would you break up Apple in this case? They can’t sell iPhones, iPads, Macs, Watches, monitors (their newest monitor has the same processor as the iPhone 11) and AppleTVs?

Would you break Apple up so each line of iPhones have to be a separate company?
This theory goes out the window as soon as you turn on a television and see the programming and commercials people watch.
That would probably take years to set up, and considering Apple outsource manufacturing in general (Foxconn for assembly, Samsung for screens, TSMC for chips) it wouldn't necessarily fit their modus operandi.

On the other hand they have more money than they could possibly spend, so insourcing everything for vertical integration isn't out of reach.

Real talk. As someone who was raised Catholic, I just sort of assumed that sexual repression was a by-product of strong religious beliefs, and now I'm both fascinated and dismayed to discover that religion is in no way a requirement for this.

America has managed to reinstate sexual repression, and it's odd how there's no clear "source" for it beyond "habitual capitalism" or something like that.

It's in the official documentation:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html

>Tuples are immutable sequences, typically used to store collections of heterogeneous data (such as the 2-tuples produced by the enumerate() built-in). Tuples are also used for cases where an immutable sequence of homogeneous data is needed (such as allowing storage in a set or dict instance).

GvR email from 2003:

https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-March/0339...

>Tuples are for heterogeneous data, list are for homogeneous data.
>Tuples are not read-only lists.

Immutable sequence is a use-case, but it's a secondary use-case. The primary use-case is for record-type data.

>But lists aren't just for looping. They often get looped over, but that's true for any collection, even dictionaries.

My point was more that tuples are not primarily suited for looping over, not that lists exclusively are.

>That's because (x for x in y) was chosen for making generators. Just stick tuple in front and you've got a tuple comprehension.

But list comprehensions were in the language for several years before generators came around. There was a time when [x for x in foo] worked but (x for x in foo) was a syntax error. Why didn't they make it a tuple at the time? Because that's not what tuples are for.

If you look at everywhere tuples show up in the standard library, it's almost always in some context where looping over the collection is not a primary consideration. The clearest example of this dichotomy is in the string methods: the str.split method gives you a list of strings, because the result can be of arbitrary length and you're likely going to loop over it. But str.partition gives a tuple because there are always exactly 3 elements in the result and you're meant to destructure it.
Nope. This confirms it.

"Sex" as fine as long as it's not too explicit and mostly not actually about sex, but about keeping you insecure to buy stuff.
The police don’t watch cash transactions without reason. If you simply regularly deposit cash, then you only have to declare a business account and no one will take a second look at you at the bank.

This is a valid opinion. But it's clearly in the minority. (Counterfactual: there is broad support for drug policy reform [1].) Particularly when one considers the tax consequences.
