This is not correct.

The price increase at earnings announcements is (to a first order approximation) indicative of the extent to which the company's earnings exceeded the market's expectations. It's as likely to be positive as negative. Otherwise you could buy the company's stock the day before the earnings announcement and get yourself some free money.

Where does this say anything about corrupt charities.
No, any illegal use or addiction to a wide array of drugs makes it a crime for you to own, possess, buy, sell, transport, etc., a firearm, and separately a crime for anyone to knowingly sell or transfer one to you. Marijuana is included, and because it is a Federal Schedule I narcotic, all use is, by definition, illegal use, even state-permitted medical use (and even though there is a federal policy against direct enforcement of the federal prohibition of marijuana against state legal use, this policy does not extend to the criminal firearms exclusion tied to it.)

The quasi-legality of state-permitted and federally-prohibited-without-direct-enforcement is kind of an awful trap, and that’s even before you consider the risks if the federal enforcement pause – which doesn’t change the criminal law and thus would not raise ex post facto concerns for enforcement against acts that occurred during (or before, if the statute of limitations allows) the pause – were to be lifted.
> We try to apply the charitable interpretation when possible

To the people we're debating with, yes! That doesn't mean everyone needs to have wide-eyed naivety about every possible person, institution or event that could be discussed.

> the lab-leak theory has a dark undercurrent: "China is bad".

> So flagging the lab-leak postings was in line with the HN's tendency to go for the charitable interpretation.

This is a useful case study of why so many people have a problem with wokeness: "we can't allow any criticism of the Chinese government because someone, somewhere, might do generalize to all Chinese and do something bad". That's destructive to intellectual curiousity and honesty of all kinds.

Anyway it doesn't seem like the best possible explanation. It wasn't just China-related stuff like that which got reliably flagged and downvoted. It's anything that criticized any aspect of the response, unless the criticism was insufficiently aggressive response.

A different attempt: HN has many people who owe their status in society to confidence in the academic/scientific system. Anything that brings that system into disrepute gets attacked. Same pattern is seen on discussions of vaccines, climate change, anything where there is allegation of bad behaviors by public sector researchers or people who justify their stance through caring about the collective future. Ideology is also corrupting. A very common response to people posting evidence of problems with the natural origin theory or other non-COVID scientific dogmas is "that link is to a right wing site so I won't look at it at all". The justification for it being a right wing site? That it contains criticism of government science, a perfect ideological catch 22.

A simple alternative is to make people select one of a handful of reasons for flagging, and if the selected reason doesn't seem justifiable, those people lose flagging privs.
Having written 3 dissertations, a bunch of research papers and writing code daily, I'm a huge fan of this method. Sometimes I just create bullet points stating "here i need to talk about this and that" adding a bit of actual information whenever it comes to mind. If I have to write a piece of code that I really don't feel like, i use a mix of comments and meta-code.

The procrastinators among us have now an excellent way to turn their "vomit drafts" into a full fledged document. GPT-3 is able to transform bullet points into something that you can call a draft. I'm still not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

I cannot recommend this enough, it's what got me over the finish line after waaay too long, including a year with zero progress writing my thesis, just like the article describes.

Each day, it went the same: sit down, try to write about the work, find some meta problem to occupy myself (like "is this the correct order of topics that I'm planning to write in my outline" or "under which topic does this idea belong") before actually writing about the thing itself, cue an unproductive spiral of research into these distractions. After a couple of hours of not actually doing any progress, drift off into the internet "as a break", and only come back to the thesis for 20-30 minute intervals that are exactly as useless as they sound. Become more and more frustrated, but no more productive, as time goes on.

Vomit drafting suddenly gave me a productive focus. Suddenly it was clear that yes, where I want to put this topic is good enough, or there is this one other place where it makes a lot more sense. No more long internal debates over meta-questions. And I realized that yes, I do have a wide range of knowledge about my specialty, something I'm convinced I was subconsciously blocking on before ("what do I do if I try to write about this topic but realize I'm just too stupid to get it, and was just bluffing all the time?").

> rude customers

Well, in the context of the submitted text, the matter seems different: the section «Be Polite and Kind to Your Customers» expresses a different direction in that very title, and the anecdotal example is about "an usher that «intended to whip a man», «“Because he said I was no gentleman”»" - which (also) heavily suggests that the writer may have omitted some details about "what actually happened".

So, about «accepting [which] customers», well do your Cost/Risk/Benefit calculations; about behaviour, good sense be the ground and in case of controversy add more of the same.

A bit of self-knowledge goes a long way. If you are prone to procrastination, tend to have grandiose visions of what you’re going to do, like to avoid conflict, reach for various ad hoc rationalisations when you underperform, like to really perfect your work, prefer to work by yourself, get easily derailed when you hit a snag… then guess what, you’re going to suffer a lot working on very open ended projects like a PhD (myself included). The trick is to acknowledge your own proclivities from the start and either don’t do a PhD or accept that every single day you must fight to the death with your own torpor.
You can take it to court and then what? The judge just slams you with the photo (for which you need to pay if you want it as part of your defense).

The docs [1] include a table of symbols you can copy/pate from, and lists shortcuts that will be expanded by the IDE/online editor [2] - these mostly look like the LaTeX commands for the symbols (some are more concise, like \R and \Z as shortucts for \mathbb{R} and \mathbb{Z}).

It would be useful if there was something like a help button in the IDE that opened this table in a modal, rather than just a link.

I spent 7 years procrastinating my master's thesis. I'd been working full time at a regular job, where I could do a project that the university allowed as a valid Master thesis subject. Between the start of the project and eventually finishing, I had 2 kids, learned all there is to know about Bitcoin, and fully renovated a new home.

Don't beat yourself up about the procrastination, but also don't beat yourself up over the lying and deflection that you did. There is a significant number of students going through the same thing. It doesn't make you a bad person, or even a very poor student. You just got derailed, and had difficulties getting back on track.

To me, it was a very educative experience. I learned a lot about myself and my abilities.

Is that really apples-to-apples, though? I can play Pentiment or Olli Olli World on the Deck for hours, but Arkham Knight, RE2 or Hitman 3, much less. Nintendo can’t run those. Nintendo games don’t seem to optimise for graphics bells and whistles - which is fine - and the more graphically intense titles tend to run at 30fps. I’m not sure there’s any great mystery to the Switch battery life than a low TDP.
The problem is that universities, at least in my experience here in the UK, are just getting more bureaucratised and less committed to pure (non-corporate/"enterprise") research. I don't trust them to reform anything and actually improve it.

Thanks! Good advice here.
Job titles of the 21st century: Reverse engineering bounty hunter.
The gym I go to has maybe 10 female regulars (including my wife). I think the reason it's so low is because of men advising other men to meet girls at the gym, or people going with that goal in-mind.

My wife has to put up with all sorts of weird behaviour (staring, unsolicited advice, chatting up, following around the gym, and occasionally somebody trying to leave with her, which cuts my workout short) just to get a workout. If we didn't live in such a small living space, we'd build a home gym to get away from public gyms.

I know you're not advising that, but I think more-or-less the gym isn't an environment for meeting people, unless it's truly a per-chance meeting where neither side is actively looking for anything.

This is ultimately the biggest failing, and what makes this so sad. For a fraction of the cost of this system you could employee someone and have this as part of their responsibility.

For automation to make sense, it can't just replace at the same cost (and certainly not cost more), it needs to be an order of magnitude saving. They may have done the math on this over say a 30 year period, but these systems never last that long.

It costs millions to replace the entire system which may or may not be done since they are working on a fix.

The system has 7000 bulbs and has been installed for 10 years. The energy savings already occurred and the inability to shut off the lights isn't a normal occurrence

Any particular reason the Mathjax is gimped?

When I bring up the context menu for the compiled result on <https://iheartla.github.io/iheartla/>, my preferred renderer MathML is missing.
I noticed right away that something is wrong because the result objectively looks bad, the bracket parts are of differing width, various surrounding elements do not align with the contained content, and also the text has terrible kerning. <https://files.catbox.moe/wp2r0t.webp>

Compare with e.g. <https://codimd.web.cern.ch/features#MathJax> which has much more options to choose from as renderer and its output as MathML is exceedingly pleasing to look at.
Main difference with a search engine is that a search engine ultimately links back to you. So the user, interested in more or want to know where it comes from, ends up on your website.

The Facebook Portal (2018-22) was the greatest home videophone.

When it came out, I was living in a different country than the rest of our extended family. We got three Portals for Christmas: one for us, one for each of the grandparents. All of us still use the devices regularly to call other as well as other people.

The UI is grandma- and kid-friendly with big clear buttons and nothing extra. The camera is very good for family video calls because it’s a fisheye that’s digitally cropped and corrected to provide automatic pan and zoom. The kids can run to the other end of the room, and the Portal will automatically follow them and crop the image neatly.

The Facebook brand probably did it no favors, and they really dropped the ball during Covid by not having Zoom available until very late in the game.

RIP sweet dedicated family videophone. With how much money Meta lost on this, I don’t suppose anyone will try again anytime soon.

I wonder whether adding a brace for each row would clarify the notation, by more closely resembling a single multi-line brace:

A ∈ ℝ^(n × n)
E ∈ { ℤ × ℤ }
n ∈ ℤ

My "big picture" was not so big. It's just to get enough context to do my "mundane" work well. I forgot to say that I'm only a mid-level engineer. For instance, to give good opinions/high-level solutions during ticket refinement sessions, realising when a ticket is not clearly written and things like this.

Also, there's always this debate about the level of detail that goes into a ticket. Lots of detail makes refinement sessions take ages (and they aren't the place to "solutionize".

However, tickets with fewer details (just the business outcome), can be challenging as we may not yet know all our service's logic or we may not know enough about the organisational structure of our company (for when we need to interact with other teams with different competences).
is this for your own record keeping or to hand to a doctor in event of emergency?

for your own record keeping I've seen many people put all their accumulated files into a folder (digital or physical) and keep it somewhere safe.

for the event of emergency, just print the progress notes from all your recent clinic visits (by law the office has to provide access to patients for this now) and put the last year's in a physical manilla envelope (emphasis on physical)

- Image based installs (this is actually pretty huge, it means you can recover an existing system very easily, and nothing like it exists in the linux world)

- HDR support. Full stop.

- Multi monitor / multi resolution support (yes, they support it on paper but in reality it's lacking)

- Multi vendor GPU support - my igr is amd, my external is nvidia

- Hibernate mode (very rough support on linux, still even today!)

- I have never gotten video to play without tearing, over 15 solid years of using linux on the desktop as a side box on bare metal. Please someone tell me what I'm doing wrong.

- Thunderbolt networking

- I recently installed ubuntu lts and then ran updates, and then the machine refused to boot. That was very cool!

and as far as niceties go, Win11 adds excellent tiling support, a better control panel, better network drive integration, and a more clear filesystem exposure for devices - network or otherwise.

I have a very long list of additional deficiencies.

And yes, I am very disappointed with Win11. I'm still on 10 for my main machine. I keep giving desktop linux a shot and running into massive, deal-breaking issues. Frankly, I'm sick of microsoft's incompetence but their technical foundation is still, even now, strong than desktop linux's.

I would like nothing more than to ditch microsoft, but every time I try, it's nothing but dead ends. I use ubuntu via VM frequently, including hosting my dev env - I wish it was the host.

FWIW my second machine is a ubuntu lts desktop machine, I have only had a few dist upgrades work flawlessly in my 15 years of running it. I gave up a long time ago and blow it away when LTS support ends.
