If the minimum wage is increased $4, the competing explanations seem to be:

1. Change in unemployment is normally distributed with mean 0% and standard deviation 0.606%.

2. Change in unemployment is uniformly distributed between 1% and 10%.

I don't really agree that "(1) vs (2)" is a particularly good formulation of the original question ("Would raising the minimum wage by $4 lead to greater unemployment?"). But if it were, how would the math work out?

If we observe that unemployment increases 1%, then yes, that piece of evidence is very slightly in favor of explanation (1). This doesn't feel weird or paradoxical to me. But surely we wouldn't want to decide the matter based just on that one inconclusive data point? Instead we would want to look at another instance of the same situation. If in that case an increase of, say, 6% would (almost) conclusively settle the matter in favor of (2), and an increase of, say, 0.8% would (absolutely) conclusively settle the matter in favor of (1).

Having a lifecycle that you can hook into to know when to run code related to this particular instance of the custom element.

Amazing! I think the best way to learn a new language is to speak with someone and better if that person would tell you where you are wrong! I'm using Duolingo to learn but I'll start using your app as well.
Fast feedbacks:
- If you don't know what PrettyPolly is saying you close the conversation and that's bad for PrettyPolly (which is being less used) and for the learner (sad mood because you can't handle a conversation after days of learning) so maybe think about some difficulty levels? (I think you can handle it in the prompt of chatgpt) or I read in the comments about the translations.
- When I click the button to stop my microphone, the user doesn't have any feedback of what it's happening, so maybe show a loading spinner and block all the buttons?

Btw well done! Can't wait to see updates!
I visited the Caran d'Ache [1] factory in Geneva a few years back, it's very similar [2]. Except they have a system to be sure all the pencils are in the same position in the box, with the name on top. It's a system with a camera and shape recognition, used for high end sets.

This is attributing intentions to Google when it's unclear what they're going to do. Probably even unclear to them. Not all anti-fraud measures are DRM. If "holdout sets" get implemented then it can't be used as DRM, because it will randomly fail.

What we know now is that they wanted to run an experiment to gather some data. Since it's in Chromium, they needed to explain it, and they explained it poorly.
Oh I see they profit from the fact that I'm charged to send the SMS, I thought they were profiting from the end user visiting a link (and generating ad revenue)

Please do start, meddling in those regions is well known to anybody interested in the topic (and currently helps greatly pro-putin crowds to rationalize and justify their views), but compromise ?

Perceived non-aligned folks were murdered if possible, often with CIA folks standing just behind the corner (Allende, Che etc.). You can't really say that putting into office fascist murderous dictator like Pinochet instead of Allende was a compromise in any way.

> I appreciate the efforts Musk has made towards pushing back against the censorship of language that it seems like everyone nowadays wants to enforce, regardless of their background.

Musks censorship is well-documented. There are only two ways one could sincerely make this argument:

- by fully ignoring Musks censorship

- by accepting it as good

Neither option makes the commenter seem honest or well-meaning, hence the downvotes.

I'm gonna apologise in advance for being unusually obtuse this morning. I'm not trying to be contentious :-)

> So to answer your question: the virtual DOM helps because it separates reads and writes from each other. Reads happen on the real DOM, writes happen on the virtual DOM, and it's only at the end of a given tick that the virtual DOM is reconciled with the real DOM, and the real DOM is updated.

I still don't understand why this can't be done (or isn't currently done) by the browser engine on the real DOM.

I'm sticking to the example given: write $FOO to DOM causing $BAR, which is calculated from $FOO, to change to $BAZ.

Using a VDOM, if you're performing all the reads first, then the read gives you $BAR (the value prior to the change).

Doing it on the real DOM, the read will return $BAZ. Obviously $BAR is different from $BAZ, due to the writing of $FOO to the DOM.

If this is acceptable, then why can't the browser engine cache all the writes to the DOM and only perform them at the end of the given tick, while performing all the reads synchronously? You'll get the same result as using the VDOM anyway, but without the overhead.

>I was in the third year of my mission as Czech ambassador to France

I hate to be that guy, but isn't the Czech Ambassador's job to be dealing with (listening to) the French État (govt), while it's a Czech Consul's job to handle matters for ordinary citizens?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consul_(representative)

A consul is an official representative of a government who resides in a foreign country to assist and protect citizens of the consul's country, and to promote and facilitate commercial and diplomatic relations between the two countries...Unlike an ambassador, who serves as the singular representative of one government to another, a state may appoint several consuls in a foreign nation, typically in major cities; consuls are usually tasked with providing assistance in bureaucratic issues to both citizens of their own country traveling or living abroad and to the citizens of the country in which the consul resides who wish to travel to or trade with the consul's country.

Not sure how accurate those numbers are. "Physician" is not a singular job even within a single specialty and varies significantly based on practice pattern so averaging the numbers like that doesn't make a lot of sense.

For similar job descriptions most equivalent physicians would have higher compensation in Canada than the US, contrary to what that dated study says.

Definitely agree the majority of physicians aren't hurting in either country although I think the US/Canadian compensation is fair given the years sacrificed/intensity/work hours/stress (disclosure: I'm a physician). Some specialties like primary care and pediatrics remain very underpaid.
The key here is that sometimes receiving a SMS costs money.

CCS has been used by the gas industry to justify its perpetuation. Billions of dollars has been sunk into CCS projects for poor outcomes. Fugitive gas problems and negative results abound. Gas injection in wells to boost production works but CCS demands it stays down. So far, not working.

Google might have pretended to stood for something, but they have been an evil corporation since they have been a corporation. That's what corporations do by design.

One relevant example is that they've been doing the "only for ie5+" with their services for 10+ years now. They killed most of their browser competition not by having a good product, but by having or buying up good services that they used to force chrome onto users - voluntarily (billions worth of advertisements) or not (lies about compatibility, performance or outright blocking other UAs).
Too little too late.

My bet is WASM being the Great Leap Forward because everything else that has been done in JavaScript is just layer on layer of abstraction, obfuscation and horrendous complexity.

I would rather develop in a mature language and have that transpiled to WASM rather than fight the frameworks (I still remember when Angula 5 was a 15,000 file desktop mom install !).

JavaScript has fulfilled an important role as the COBOL of the web. Low barrier to entry - anybody can do something useful without education or expense.

Now the web needs move forward to become the first choice desktop. That will take tools that can really do the whole stack, like C, Go, Java, Zig, Virgil productively.

Industry has been busy on the JS bandwagon and adding vast amounts of complexity to browsers and web infrastructure when maybe (happy for opinions to be voiced on this) we should be just adding more language runtimes to browsers.

It's not a warning board. It's a crash beam to protect the bridge, because the consequences of damaging the rail bridge are much worse than those of canopening a truck that ignored numerous obvious warnings, including a flashing one triggered by a vehicle height sensor. The bridge itself has already been raised by 8 inches (though it's still unusually low), which would have also cost a fair bit. They haven't just gone and put an unnecessary "warning board" under it.

There are many more incidents, BTW. Scroll down for more videos.
Phonetic diagrams aren't feedback though. You would explain how to do something correctly, but user wouldn't know what elements they need to change, unless they figure out on their own what they are doing right now. I know my teachers told me to do X when they heard me mispronounce something specific, but that's irl small group/1on1 experience.

Again, I'm curious if someone solved it. Theoretically this is within modern video/audio AI, but that doesn't mean we have the models or even organized data.
I think you're describing regedit (although not fuzzy)
To me this exemplifies the Mac way of doing things - to me if I want to change any setting that is system oriented or interacts with the system should go into System Preferences. Anything that tweaks how the app itself behaves should go under the Preferences of the app.

But once you get used to the Apple way then you tend to not question these things as much.

Swup maintainer here. There is official support for parallel animations in swup v4: https://github.com/swup/parallel-plugin — we've been holding off on this for a while because of accessibility issues and some technical complexity around animating those.

Why not go with 3 steps ?

1/ Provide intuition

2/ Show the math

3/ Show how maths prevent the corner case of the intuition

When I study maths alone (even after a course), it's more like:

1/ Understand the technicalities of maths (very tedious because many teacher "leaves the details out"), without bothering much about the subject.

2/ After that huge effort, I try to play with the math to get an intuition of what it does. An intuition == a way to explain what it does in layman's terms, with drawings, physical/real examples, etc.

3/ Revisit the maths, and especially their corner cases (what happens if this denominator goes to zero, what if I cannot invert that matrix ?) and confront that to my intuition. The maths are the safest way to make sure you get your intuition right.
For that matter in 2023 every single day there is probably at least one three year old whose daddy (or mama) is abruptly taken away for any one of a number of reasons completely opaque to a toddler. Some parents disappear by blind chance, but mostly it happens because some other adult strangers decided that their father or mother needed to be ripped away from them and put in a box somewhere.

The child did nothing to deserve this, but has to live knowing one of the most important people in their lives is rotting away in a cell instead of pushing them on the swing or teaching them to make spaghetti or just being there to help stabilize the family even if it's only financially. It's a wonder that we don't have more instances of anger-fueled violence against prosecutors, defense lawyers and judges by children whose lives were deeply scarred by their deliberately harmful actions.

And before the obvious remarks come about how these parents could have been abusive to the child or deadbeats or otherwise fall far short of being the parent the child needs, well no shit. The appropriately shallow answer to such a shallow remark is that not all convictions are deserved, but this argument is beside the point. The child doesn't comprehend what happened, all they know is the trauma. Trauma for which, if it had happened to anyone else under similarly innocent circumstances would be grounds for millions in damages for the psychological harm caused, but in this case society just collectively shrugs "huh. well that's too bad I guess." And goes about their day.
Yeah, if anything united Nazis and western allies, was their anti-USSR hating [1]. Which was the common ground for the western financial and infrastructure support and tolerance for Hitler before the war.

[1] Which was not about the situation in USSR itself (they could not care less, they supported worse attrocities before and after the war), but about losing their colonial and geopolitical influence, and about their own workers being "tempted" into socialism and demanding more rights, unions, and such.

Reading this paper they’re pretty restrained. They got zero resistance but didn’t get everything they were looking for.

This material is fascinating and I love the interest and good debate it’s generating.

Sometimes it feels like we missed so many golden ages but we might still get to experience something world changing before our eyes and understand what it means.

Real technological progress and societal improvement breed optimism. This could be the start of something big. Even if it isn’t it reminds us why we are still searching for theorised technologies.

>I'd be interested in reading what concrete steps other HN readers think should be taken in Japan and more broadly.

Japan is its whole beast and I'm sure there's subtleties that will go over my head. But if I was to address the general aspects, it's a multi-facet issues:

- Short term solutions (< 1 year): US centric problem, but loan forgiveness would help with a lot of youth debt. It's years in the making and currently happening so I sort of count it in "short term". We could also use more supprort centers (be it homeless shelters or job placement centers), but advertising the existing ones can go a long way as well.

- Mid term (<5 years): Obvious financial ones, but raise minimum wage and and lower rent (while controlling how much renters can increase it every year). start making sure people can actually live off a job and some won't see it as hopeless. Also, make sure entry level jobs are actually "entry level": Nothing more discouraging than "all applicants welcome!" followed by "preferred: 3-5 years experience".

- Long term (10-20 years): Firstly, we could use more spaces for youth to meet without romantic context (e.g. bars). An under talked about aspect of society in the last 30 years includes the falling apart of community lounges, so it's no wonder people feel lonely. post college, you either find a party scene, find a mate, or suffer in silence. For jobs, we should bring back more of an apprenticeship culture. Not every job needs a degree, and some jobs use a degree more as a filter than an actual preparation for useful job skills. So why not put that training back into the companies?
No; instead, I use Maxima on Android (and on desktop Linux too).

SMS is the way to go until your operator swaps the SIM on your line without your approval.

SMS is the way to go until you need to sign in from somewhere you don't have cellular coverage.

TOTP is superior in almost every way. Failing that, sending a login link (or code) to the user's email address is more secure than SMS.
You mean cryptography? Yeah, thanks to let's encrypt we are now reaching widespread adoption of TLS. You barely see any http websites anymore thanks to that.

Yes, although not as much. But I still keep my TI Nspire CX CAS charged for when I need it (needed it during my CS studies for adjacent topics). Specifically the CAS version is nice because it can simplify algebra for you, and even solve/rewrite an expression for a specific variable. There’s probably something I can use on my computer, I do like the ergonomics of the calculator though

I can never understand why, if you are going to use an ESP32 for Bluetooth and WiFi, you bother with an RP2040.

Don’t get me wrong the RP2040 is a fantastic chip. But the ESP32 is a dual core MCU running at 240MHz!

Edit to add - you can also flash the ESP32 wirelessly with an OTA update.
