Read less fantasy and more history.

I recommend Laslett's "The World We Have Lost" (or its second edition, "The World We Have Lost Further Explored"), for a glimpse of life a mere 200 years ago. You'll need to pay close attention and read between the lines, though.
At the same time, the kids in my neighborhood are bused to school. The school is a mile away with zero road crossings (one short pedestrian tunnel). The rest is walking paths. Parents and kids sit in the idling cars at the edge of the neighborhood waiting for the bus. They could just about walk to school in that waiting time.
Yes, but it doesn't mean you're not thinking straight. Everyone has biases, learning how to navigate them is important. Expecting them to not exist or dismissing people's expert opinions because of them, rather than weighing them against their bias, seems ridiculous.
Yeah, the whole thing with the Standard Model being only an effective theory is a definite issue, that's a good point. Actually Hossenfelder seems to more or less agree with this in the blog post she links? http://backreaction.blogspot.com/2019/01/good-problems-in-fo... (I'm looking at the section titled "Quantum Field Theory" and taking the problem it expresses as being essentially the same.)

But, I'm not sure this really addresses the point? Like, as I see it, the basic question here is, which problems sufficiently require resolution that looking for that resolution is likely to bear fruit? And it's hard to see how "certain particle masses (or other seemingly-free parameters) seem small/large" qualifies. Small or large by what standard? It's a lot smaller/larger than 1? OK, but what's "a lot"? Who's setting the scale here? Ultimately the universe's scale is the only one that matters here, and if we find its numbers unusually "small" or "large" that's just a matter of incorrect expectations on our part!

Like, if you want to say we should be looking for axions or magnetic monopoles on the grounds that a literal zero is suspicious, then, sure, I guess zero is fairly special and suggestive. But I don't see that there's any sense in trying to find explanations for numbers being "unusually small" or "unusually large" when there's nothing but our own expectations to mark these magnitudes as "unusual".
Mea culpa for kneejerk commenting. The article is a little confusing though; what actually seems to have occurred is:

1. Patent troll entity filed a suit in east Texas, c. February 2020 (https://web.archive.org/web/20200410225148/https://mycroft.a...).

2. Same patent troll entity dropped the first suit, also c. February 2020 (https://web.archive.org/web/20200305135828/https://mycroft.a...).

3. Same patent troll entity filed a second suit in Kansas City on February 18, 2020 (https://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2020/03/30/mycro...) (https://web.archive.org/web/20200807211354/https://mycroft.a...) (https://web.archive.org/web/20200516014621/https://mycroft.a...).

This second suit seems to have substantially cost Mycroft.
Sure, anything with sugar in it. Not that there is no physiological cost, of course, but dissolved sugar is nearly pure short-term energy for your body.
No, it's fine to speculate, but not okay to assert.
Take patent US9794348[1] which covers some specific heuristics that can be used to decide which voice command to execute. The only remotely interesting part of the claims (the "audio command interface") is definitely software, the detailed description even says that it could expose an API and other applications could use it to expose voice commands.

It replaces Grammarly (I also don't want that keylogger spyware running anywhere near my systems) entirely and provides additional features. Can Grammarly also write the Haikus necessary to make me chuckle?
> So teenagers get the first bus, then middle schoolers get one an hour later, then grade schoolers.

Where I grew up it was the opposite. Grade schoolers started first at 8:00, middle-schoolers at 8:30, high-schoolers at 9:00. As a high schooler you finish school at 4PM, hardly a very late school day. Younger kids naturally go to sleep and wake up earlier than teens anyways, it's not unfair or harmful to have them start school earlier.

> These are VALUABLE skills. Imagine if everyone in your organization was an expert in crafting narratives, in putting forth concise arguments, in maintaining the larger context beyond their own area of practice.

That would certainly be valuable to those people; would it actually help the organization though?
My son's internet goes out at 21:30.

He did once rack up a tremendous phone bill by using his phone at night, but I think he learned not to do that any more.
I wonder how long this would have taken to reverse, if ever, had it happened to a small independent streamer.
Worked for me. Maybe just got fixed.

yes, i've always thought that about asian food. luckily, my parents were pretty cosmopolitan in this regard. to anyone that wants to explore it i can strongly recommend madhur jaffery's cook books - mostly simple recipes for great dishes.
Coffee is the one subject where I'm proudly anti-science.

I'll drink it regardless, as many as I want. I'll pretend the negatives don't exist which by means of placebo is true in my "lived experience".

Denial is an undervalued life skill. When somebody declares a complicated problem, you simply decide "no it isn't" and then you move on.
That’s PE (physical education). Worse class ever, but required.
The job post includes a range: $50K-100K and the location is set to "Bogota / Paris". I had researched compensations in these markets and the range seemed relevant.
We definitely pay competitive salaries, place the bar quite high and adjust it based on the candidates we meet.
> The issue is that while successful suicides are higher in boys, suicide attempts are higher in girls.

No, the issue in this article is just about the levels rising in teen girls and nothing to do with boys, which is why I said OP was offtopic whataboutism.

> Importantly, the whole "record levels in teen girls" is notable because unlike in boys where suicide attempts went up by ~4%, suicide attempts in girls (which are already ~2x higher) increased by an additional 50% in the last few years.

Trends are certainly important. But anybody who says girls have much lower reported rates of mental health issues and self harm is just misinformed.
More like 100km, I believe.
It obviously does. You wish to use a permissive license; the GPL requires that you provide distributes your code under the GPL; dual-licensing meets both of these requirements. Care to explain the thinking behind you reaching the opposite conclusion?
Can I use them in Roblox? My daughter loves to play with it and Roblox Studio, and having more assets to use (buildings and pre-built places she could modify) would be awesome.
Wait, 8 hrs of classes? My high school was 8 am to 2:15 pm, only slightly more than 6 hours. I've never heard of a school day that was 8 hours long of classes.

Also, I don't know many office jobs where employees are home by 5 pm either. If you have a 9:30-4:00 school day with 4:00-6:00 for sports, is that a problem? Family dinner at 6:30 or 7:00 pm.
The majority of programmers on HN probably could not reverse engineer even the simplest 555 timer without at least a week of study.

For ChatGPT at least the side effects are hallucinations. Typically the chat bot can't actually do these things, but they pretend to. Although I guess if you wanted to hook them up to do things automatically you could. Probably not a great idea given their propensity to get things wrong.
It still makes sense because of the energy inflation, but it may depend on the interest.
Coffee naps have definitely helped me meet deadlines lol. The idea is to skull a cup of strong coffee, and have a nap for 15 mins... just enough time to clear the
adenosine, and for the caffeine to enter the bloodstream and block the receptors

Well, at this point, for a lot of roles, the choice between never going into an office, or attending a meeting, or taking a business trip does involve pretty severe career tradeoffs. I'm on a distributed team and travel is pretty locked down because of budgets but I still don't really have the flexibility to say I'm not leaving my house (though I want to get out in general).
Wireless Chargers Reach for the Megahertz Range
I'm a little confused by the pricing claims. They provide only one data point, a 24 CPU / 48 GB cluster. If your project can run in such a small amount of resources, is accumulating the complexity tax which comes with Kubernetes distributed system going to be a win? Would be significantly more helpful to show the price points at various compute scales.

I just looked up the cost of Oracle Kubernetes Engine on OCI (Oracle Cloud) and it's provided for free, you only pay for the compute resources you use.

On AWS you pay something like $0.10/hr/node.

Also, where do these machines run? What regions are available? What IAM controls and security policies are available? What is the disaster recovery story? For most real businesses, controlling and guaranteeing these aspects and risk factors quickly become critical. Far more important than saving a couple of hundred bucks or even a grand a month.

I understand.. it's sad to realize these things, because a better Heroku PaaS is highly appealing to the developer in me.

Perhaps there's a market segment I'm unfamiliar with which is craving this product layout. I wish you all the best.
Yeah. This should have been a HUGE INCREDIBLY LOUD FLASHING RED WARNING SIGN when they implemented the code execution feature. Like, "wait what if the in-built jvm sandboxing isn't available" should have been among the first questions. And it isn't too terribly difficult to implement your own sandboxed interpreter if you don't have access to the SecurityManager.

Heck, SecurityManager has been basically a dead feature for ages. I'm stunned that JEB didn't start with a different solution.
Correct. I used to coach youth sports. There were waivers and “scholarships” available. Equipment was provided by the club (this was football and basketball). Coaches and other parents did the transport.
I am not a citizen of US. I have a special visa though.

Breaking a law of which country/what law?

I am def not breaking laws of Mexico. That much is certain. Had top immigration firm handle all of my paperwork. But they cannot advice me regarding the US.

US is unclear. I've engaged a law firm about this prior and they've not produced recommendations.

Will see what comes out of the meeting tomorrow, but my suspicion based on previous interactions is that the advice will be along the lines of "This is atypical. We recommend you spend minimum of X days in X state to claim to be tax resident of US.", which is not particularly useful.

It is not particularly common for people to misrepresent their tax residence in order to pay more taxes.
We should pay this guy to have a vacation before we pay him to write more code.
My teenage son gets out of bed at 7:50, then bikes to school, which starts at 8:25, I think. I got out of bed a bit earlier when I was a kid because I had to bike 10 km to school which started at 8:25.
I heard they only fully automated it post IPO, and have a full team of senior engineers + PM on this topic now!
No. SecurityManager has been a defunct feature forever and its removal was widely communicated.
The fact that there's almost never a dialin for Teams meetings makes me hate it. I want to be able to dial in with my desk phone.
The patent is specifically about heuristics to pick between various commands. For example if I say "turn the light on" while in the kitchen it would turn the kitchen light on, if I am in the bedroom it would turn the bedroom light on. Also depending on whether I or my wife say "good night" it might turn off different bedside lights. Still pretty obvious to anybody who has read any sci-fi, but it's not about voice commands in general.
Probably. Jocks, drama kids, band kids, debate kids, various history/math/science team competitions, etc.
Having read a number of GitHub incident reviews I'm really curious how this will impact ChatOps. They're one of the first companies I saw that seemed to use ChatOps for almost everything, including things like updating BGP routing. Do they have 7 months to migrate everything to Teams or will they keep some Slack workspaces around just for ChatOps?
Iosevka is glorious.
I knew I'd get called out for the HOA analogy lol. My point wasn't that HOAs are similar to copyleft code, that's taking the analogy much further than it was intended. My point is only that people are free to make decisions about what works for them. Calling someone "afraid" because they opt out of something is hyperbolic and counterproductive.

Here's another analogy: I ate eggs instead of cereal for breakfast. I did this because I wanted protein and not carbs, not because I'm afraid of cereal. Likewise, I just don't want to do the things that copyleft requires, so I use MIT and the like instead.
Where I roughly draw the line is where the user was stupid. People should know not to be dangerous with extension cords; but there's no way a user should be required to know that the fifth outlet box on the left side actually has no box and that if you were to pull out something plugged into it the whole outlet would come out of the wall and short to a water line.

And perhaps this kind of thing should be more explicit in the code - things that are for convenience and things that are actual life/death safety issues.

And as we see, the latter often involves things that only become apparent when disaster strikes.
I think you are talking about "meaning" in life, the sense of being part of something larger than yourself, that isn't just accumulation for accumulation's sake. There is a debate there, no doubt.

The scientists and engineers that work insane hours at SpaceX are probably looking for something like that.

But in the past, for most people, life was merely a struggle to survive, that they lost sooner rather than later.

I am an experienced software engineer with a career spanning over a decade, having worked in leadership positions on commercial projects as well as hybrid commercial/open source projects, in fields such as consumer gaming, cloud storage, and drone control systems.

In the past few years I have worked on real-time low latency video streaming systems on both mobile and embedded linux platforms, and designed and implemented a commercial end-to-end encrypted cloud storage system for the EU market.

For most of my career I have both contributed to and maintained open source projects, such as Arch Linux ARM where I maintained the Beaglebone Black platform for several years. I was also the maintainer of the OpenHD project[1], where I reorganized and modernized the development and release process, and as the lead developer I created a cross platform touchscreen drone controller called QOpenHD[2].

I have real world experience deploying applications on multiple embedded linux platforms, Mac and Windows systems programming (C, C++, and Rust), iOS/iPad and macOS application development (Obj-C, Obj-C++, Qt, Swift, Rust), and Windows desktop application development (C# .NET/WPF, Qt, Rust).

I have years of experience using the Qt framework on desktop, mobile, and embedded linux platforms, and have in-depth knowledge of low level platform-specific rendering and video handling APIs (OpenGL, Linux v4l2/dmabuf, GL texture/buffer sharing).

I've also designed my own FPGA IP cores for parts from most of the major manufacturers, including Xilinx, Intel/Altera, and Lattice, experience which gives me a much better understanding of how the hardware we run our software on actually works in practice.

Currently I am working on an animal safety monitoring system (embedded Linux, Qt, C++, Rust) that detects and reports hazardous conditions/events that could be life threatening (such as a baby tortoise flipping over under a heat lamp), using a combination of habitat sensors, thermal imaging, and computer vision.

I think there are 2 different things being discussed here:

1. Commuting via school bus vs. parents' cars

2. Commuting via public bus

In the US, at least for the first 25 years of my life, most people I knew got to school by school bus unless they lived within walking distance or were old enough to drive themselves. Some kids parents would drive them, but it usually was either due to it being too cold to walk (or wait for the bus), a special occasion where they needed to bring in some large or fragile object for a project, or them being in an unincorporated part of the town that the school busses didn't serve. (I think this was fairly rare.) Since I don't have kids of my own, I don't know how it's changed in the last 25 years, but I still see school busses all over my current city (Los Angeles), so they're still a thing.

Where I grew up in a rural part of the MidWest, there were no public buses. Our town was too small for them to run efficiently.

Unlike the two-party democracy of US, India has a multitude of political parties holding power at the state level. Many of these parties (AAP, TMC, DMK, etc) whip BJP's arse in state elections. There are talks of a third party AAP gaining enough support to contest at a National level in the future.

There has been no evidence of BJP rigging National or state elections until now. In fact parties like TMC which progressive media often hail for opposing BJP have been found to indulge in electoral violence and rigging [1]. These parties run unhindered in what english media essentially calls the Nazi regime of Modi.

Where is the evidence for BJP winning due to suppressing political parties?
A political party or politician who you don't like being elected (in free and fair elections) does not qualify.

[1] https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/tmc-accused...

EDIT:
sidenote: Electoral violence seems to mainly be an issue in West Bengal. Other states have a lot of issues but the scale of gratuitous bloodshed that follows elections is a unique characteristic of the state. That no Indian government past or current has tackled this issue, only speaks for the inability of the Indian state to effectively project hard power.

I might be stupid but I don’t understand what point you’re getting at?
Maybe they mean no starch because vegetables certainly have carbs. For example, a cup of broccoli has 6g of carbs, a cup of kale has 1g, and about 5g in a tomato. Certainly a low-carb diet, but not no carbs.
Good news! You don't have to be anti-science because coffee is good for you.
