And yet no American Presidential candidate could be elected without professing faith in Christianity and Biblical literalism, because the American political system is overfitted for rural, and thus Christian, cultural influence. To the point that one of the two political parties that matter frames itself as the defenders of traditional Christian values. And thus the American Supreme Court is currently repealing decades of progressive law, removing abortion rights (based entirely on Christian principles) and making mandatory school prayer legal again.

America invokes the name of God on their money and their schoolchildren evoke "one nation under God" in their pledge of allegience. State governments constantly fight to be able to teach creationism and intelligent design in schools. Christianity is the reason you can't buy alcohol on Sundays in many places in the US. Christianity is the reason American media censors sex more so than violence. One could go on nearly ad infinitum.

Sure, there's no (officially sanctioned) national religion (It's Evangelical Christianity though) and churches don't collect taxes (rather, they don't pay taxes) but despite the secular (really, Deist) foundations of the Constitution, one would have to be blind not to see the degree to which the US is still very deeply influenced and controlled by Christianity.

I’m not saying you are wrong, I’ve done the same thing, although I’ve started to think more deeply about how and when to reveal content.

Edward Tufte on the other hand suggests never “revealing” content since he claims that’s treating the audience not intelligently.
First off, I am anti-asshole not anti elon, if he treated people with respect and showed some humility I would have no problem with him just like anyone else. And trust me, you are the worst evil here with little to gain yourself you support a terrible person and their endeavor of cruelty as part of a mob.

I double checked wiki, it says when his parents divorced he lived with his father not mother like you said and his father was wealthy and a half owner of an emerald mine. The part about him coming to canada without thise riches is right. He did make a fortune from paypal though which you can claim was a genius idea but as the GP comment points out he did get several things wrong before he succeeded, his paypal wealth cushion helped. Every kid in tech and their mother had ideas of self driving cars, flying cars, spaceships. His courage to pursue wild ideas and lead technical people means nothing to the cruelty and arrogance he displayed. Nothing he can or has done makes up for that.

If someone cured cancer but supported legalization of child abuse I wouldn't give a shit about how they cured cancer either. You gotta be nice to people and humble, sorry, no amount of money or genius makes you an exception.

Take your elon, kanye and trump and keep them to yourself.

This is not true. I thought the same thing and you are right in regards to base line clock speed. But the performance is still increasing.

Using technology broadly- first I was thinking of things like opioid painkillers- given out like candy in the 90s due to pharma marketing, then there was a huge backlash. Meanwhile I believe Japan has been pretty strict on medication. Amphetamines are strictly controlled there too while in parts of the US they are widely used as performance enhancers for studying.

Another change to the social fabric is due to globalism, shareholder capitalism and roboticization taking away US manufacturing jobs. Also big box replacing locally owned retail, and possibly internet shopping replacing bix box stores. Of course these are present in Japan too, but not allowed to dramatically change society quite so fast.

...which is a weird way to emphasize a town's smallness. Is the idea that the driver of the Google maps car got halfway through and said, you know, this town is so small, I'm not even going to drive the rest of the way down the street! Or they were so overcome with small-town charm they just stopped the car and bought a house there or what

As I said in my original post, Turing machines can be useful.

But they do a huge simplifying assumption which is that the program can use an infinite amount of memory.

This is OK in some cases, but it is not OK in others, especially when it comes to analyzing decidability (of programs that are not trying to compute mathematical answers, i.e. answers with infinite bounds).

For example, I think it is immensely useful to model computer programs in Turing-complete languages. I see no major reason why we should always use programming languages with enforced memory limits at the language level, currently.

Because, it's one thing to write a program, and it's another thing to execute it.

So, I'm not saying Turing machines are always inadequate. But I wish we would be more careful using them, so as to not make fundamental mistakes about what is true and what is false for important things that we actually care about (rather than strictly theoretical questions about programs that we will never be able to run successfully).

If you buy a car the manufacturer can't just randomly come and take your keys because their license for the car's paint ran out. And they'd also not get away with it by giving it a fancy "rights management" name and hiding it in some agreement.

Additionally lobbies pushed our government to create what's basically a tax on all digital storage media that's included in the price, based on the assumption that companies lose out on money when I copy music from my PC to my music player etc. Which by the way is my right by law, but they decided I have to pay for that right. No, the most I'm going to do with that DRM license agreement is to wipe my ass with it.
That’s what GNU Parallel is for. Or Pueue, which gives you a GH-Actions-level feature set but it’s less likely to be installed on any particular machine. Pretty sure you could fetch a pueue binary at the start of an actions script and do everything that way.

(These can’t project their tasks over multiple GH Actions runners, eg for multiple OSes. For that you will need to use the YAML. Good compilers will already do work in parallel and max out however many cores they are given, so multi machine is the main use case. Unfortunate.)
Both Android[1] and iOS[2] have both recently gained support for acting as WebAuthn authenticators, supporting authenticating on other devices (Chrome/Safari on desktop gives you a QR code to scan, then the devices communicate via Bluetooth to use the phone as a WebAuthn authenticator). The keys also sync via your Apple ID/Google account. Should go someway towards making WebAuthn a viable replacement to TOTP for people who need to sign in across multiple devices and don't want to buy a hardware authenticator, though more widespread support is necessary I think.

You didn't answer the question.

The statement is obviously false by the way, as you can see in the article where the author does exactly that. You rephrasing the statement to make it true, is just ignoring the point.

I would encourage you to engage in some studying of reading comprehension. It is an important skill in mathematics and related disciplines.

Something like group/ring theory needs to be abstract. In fact, many practical applications of those things are themselves in applied math and physics.

Something like differential equations or the calculus of variations is fun for examples but then you’re just teaching a physics class ;)

Indeed, even the most practical applied mathematician needs to have put in hours learning the abstract things.

I agree with this. For example, teaching Lie groups / algebras from the historical perspective of the problem Lie was trying to solve would be a tedious exercise in multi variable calculus and PDEs. On the other hand, once you have a sense for the abstract and how it’s used, going back to read Lie’s original work (there’s a translation my Merker) gives interesting historical perspective, context, and new understanding. But I wouldn’t want to learn it from that perspective.

A 1099k doesn't mean you owe taxes. All this change means is the IRS is going to waste a lot of money on useless information request notices to catch a few people who weren't reporting taxable income while causing stress for millions who already have enough forms to deal with.
That's too late. First impressions matter. Once a narrative is set and biases established, even facts after the fact don't do well to alter what's already in place.
Yea, Arnold’s ODE book is great, but it’s basically a physics textbook.
These are all good projects but you are underestimating the difficulty of them by a lot. Even something conceptually simple like card counting has a lot of details that are difficult to get right. Just programming the rules of blackjack is a fiddly problem in itself (no standard ruleset and hard to explain the edge cases).

In my opinion these would be great things to introduce at the start of a course for motivation, but they either need a lot of handholding/scaffolding or a lot more time per project. There is a tradeoff between how much handholding you do and how much people learn. It's very easy for people to fool themselves into thinking they understand something just because they can follow along while someone else does all the thinking for them.
This looks cool. But do I have to be a student at a school to use it? Can I pay a few bucks a month to do it in my free time as an adult? Thanks!
Paint isn’t the constraint of a painter. Imagination is. The same imagination that constrains AI prompting.

The value a person prescribed to a painting isn’t in how the painter was able to manipulate the paint, it’s in what the painting as a whole means to them.

It isn't necessarily criminal desires... there are a lot of financial things that require a banking license, and they aren't easy to get. This is why most fintech companies end up partnering with a bank in order to do things like take deposits and give credit.

It might be easier to just buy one if you want to do bank things.

Assume your name, phone, email, address are all public.

Someone on HN will invariably point out that this is how it was for the last hundred years, and it was only when we made computers powerful enough to abuse the information that this level of privacy became a concern.

I remember the days when your name, address, and phone number were public information. I paid something like $15/month to keep it out of the phone book.

What I recently learned, browsing through old books that a local library was throwing away, is that sometimes those phone book listings would also include things like a woman's maiden name, and the name of her husband, and/or marital status. Something like:

Smith, Margaret C (nee Jones, widow of George): 202-555-1212

That part was new to me.
Ah. So it’s a fast-takeoff then. Looking forward to being enslaved by the elites with AI being used as a wall to separate billionaires from everybody else.
Tech will end up exactly the same way finance is (if it isn’t already there). Employees will work for the regulatory enforcement agency for around five years on shit pay learning how the system works from the inside and making contacts in the industry before leaving and being ushered into a tech firm with a nice six figure salary. Meanwhile, no regulations will really get enforced apart from the odd token case against a big company so the agency can continue to justify its existence and funding. The fine against the big company will be a complete drop in the ocean and will have already been accounted for well in advance by said company as a natural cost of doing business. No-one will go to prison for any wrong doing unless it’s a fraud case where someone’s tried to cheat the company and the regulators for their own individual gain in which case there’ll be made an example of to ensure all the other players stay in line and don’t rock the apple cart. Repeat until the end of the time.

Any attempts to appoint new leadership to reform the existing corrupt agencies will most likely end up being sabotaged from within by bureaucrats who gain from the system remaining dysfunctional. The only two ways you can effectively change it are:

- setting up complete new ‘start up’ agencies and appointing people to wind down and distract the power players in the existing ones.

- going full nuclear like Elon just did at Twitter and firing the majority of the workforce
I have been looking for Page Builders that can achieve 3 things together:

1. Great Content Creation/Editing Experience for a non technical person (Marketer, Admins etc). Give WordPress a run for their money when it comes to Editing and Content Creation Experience.

2. Ability to switch to Dev mode and edit code directly (For devs). Ideally be able to choose between frameworks.

3. Ultimately, publish as a static site (may be integrate with things like Netlify, Cloudflare Pages etc)

So far, Most page builder products are either 1 and 2, 2 and 3 etc. Game changer would be a product that does all 3 seamlessly. I would totally invest in that :)

That might be true in the EU, I have no idea. But not in Germany. An employee cannot choose to work longer than that.

I still was slightly wrong. The average work hours cannot exceed 48 hours a week.

But an employee is not allowed to work more than that.

And it very definitely is fraud. It’s called Arbeitszeitbetrug, the „Betrug“ in that word is fraud.

Source: (in German)
https://www.nebenjob.de/ratgeber/3164-maximale-arbeitszeit-w...

Ill translate the relevant part for you (you can use DeepL or something if you want to crosscheck):

"Für Arbeitnehmer mit Hauptjob und Nebenjob gelten diese Arbeitszeiten

- Man darf in der Regel maximal 48 Stunden die Woche arbeiten.

- Wenn man (zeitweilig) die Stunden pro Tag erhöht, ist eine wöchentliche Arbeitszeit von bis zu 60 Stunden möglich, wenn innerhalb eines halben Jahres die Wochenarbeitszeit auf durchschnittlich 48 Stunden ausgeglichen wird."

Translation:
The following working hours are relevant for employees with main and sidejob:

- You are only allowed to work maximum 48 hours per week on average

- If one decides (temporarily) to increase the time worked per day, a maximum 60 hours per week is possible, as long as the average worked hours stay at 48 hours per week in a 6 month timeframe.

And source for Arbeitszeitbetrug being fraud:

US treasuries are sometimes called "return-free risk". It seems pretty clear that the US government is borrowing unsustainably high amounts. We can't keep this pace of borrowing up for very long. So either the government starts being financially responsible (how likely do you think that is?), or by the time those 10y bonds mature you'll either get highly devalued dollars or just nothing at all.
> Why buy a bank?

Applying for a banking license is time-consuming. Buying a local bank is a comparatively quick way to end-run around that process. In and of itself it's not a sign of anything shady - buying a bank is a pretty common part of the business plan for fintech startups that don't want to sit around for years waiting for government approval.
People should be advised to not use phone numbers at all.

There was a joke "all phone numbers leaked" list that just listed everything from 000-000-0000 to 999-999-9999. If there is no other information associated (names, pictures, emails, anything) then this leak is of almost comparable severity.
