> Asylum today is basically: "look, Russia, US, UK, France and coalition blew up my middle eastern country, so now countries like Denmark

No-no-no, Denmark took an active part in Iraq invasion and was also invaded Libya. Refugee crisis isn’t just about Syria.
Just curious how this will allow for short term stays of 1-2 years in an area for, say a visiting fellowship, a seasonal job, etc.

The problem is that homes are so expensive, average people cannot afford to even make enough payments on a home to meaningfully own it in 3-4-5 years. Maybe you're suggesting rent convert to partial equity in a home?
What is remarkable is the near-complete lack of fear as to what we might be "engineering" with our ever expanding environmental footprint.

On the one hand there is a systemic underappreciation of the impact we have, a behavioral relic from bygone eras when, indeed, homo sapiens was just another species competing.

On the other hand there is overconfidence in our ability to solve technology-induced problems using other technologies. This behavior is in turn a relic of the recent industrial-scientific revolution, when indeed homo sapiens saw dramatic empowerement over the rest of nature.

This entenched denialism and lack of concern means that as environmental deterioration loops into itself and hits from unexpected corners, people's psychology will increasingly resolve the stresses by inventing scape goats etc. in a pointless and innefective blame shifting exercise.

All in all, a once-in-a-species level of challenge that if we manage to survive will have changed human society more than all previous revolutions combined.
"As temperatures rise, carbon dioxide leaks out of the ocean like a glass of root beer going flat on a warm day."

"However, as water temperature increases, its ability dissolve CO2 decreases. Global warming is expected to reduce the ocean’s ability to absorb CO2, leaving more in the atmosphere... which will lead to even higher temperatures."

I was pretty surprised that they didn't test the hardware in that way even before flying it the first time. It looks like this issue is clearly reproducible on the ground with partial integration, not even the full spacecraft.
Republicans aren’t republicans anymore, they are populist right wingers. The business dudes who just want to make money are in the back seat. It’s fanatics and reactionaries now.

“Starve the beast” in the context of chevron means that regulatory adjudication moves from administrative law judges in agencies to Federal courts. Supposedly this is to align with constitutional principles, but the reality is the except for the richest companies and individuals, litigation in federal court is prohibitively expensive.
A pretty decent SF novel on the theme is Replay.

MILD SPOILER as it happens early on.

The protagonist had access to some money and happened to know a couple of very longshot sporting bets that he was able to parlay into a good nest egg to get started.
Interesting since I feel it should be the reverse, psychologically.

Personally, my sole reason for drinking decaf is to avoid the caffeine's stimulant effects...so, I'm mentally expecting zero effects.
I'd personally rather go to a farmers market or local store and buy food that was all grown and produced locally.

Where the US really got off the rails, in my opinion, was holding onto our distaste for regulation while simultaneously providing legal cover for corporstions to become massive and centralize industry so massively.

The FDA shouldn't be necessary at all. I don't need an organization to tell me raw milk from a local dairy is safe. The FDA is only needed for milk because we have a handful of massive, industrial dairies raising animals in terrible conditions and selling their product to everyone through national infrastructure balanced like a house of cards.
Notion has an API. I create database entries with a Python script, export notes with another. I had a hard time exporting a couple of hundred Apple Notes entries some time ago.
Looks like Boeing will be doing another unmanned flight test at their expense. It would be foolish for NASA to certify the vehicle for future manned missions if they can't demonstrate the overheating issue is solved.
A better point that escaped me last night when I submitted this is that JSON input could actually be a part of an improved workflow.
The doctor makes a template using structured data from his or her electronic health record. The template output goes into the form as JSON input.
The doctor then has information and recommendations for the patient.
The doctor can save the information in the chart (including the JSON data) for comparison next time and as a record of what was discussed.
That's a better selling point for this thing, I think.
I recently crossed a few borders too, and did not show a passport at any time. When I flew out of Germany the police did not even ask for a boarding pass despite me flying with a checked-in pistol (which is why the police got involved at all: the agent said their instructions is to call the police so they can look at it before the baggage is sent on its way). On arrival to Sweden, the "goods to declare" lane was empty and there was a little sign with a phone number and a message amounting to "call the customs people if you have something to declare".
> “We had healthy volunteers drink a xylitol-sweetened drink, and we examined blood from before versus after ingestion of the drink. For the next four to six hours xylitol levels remained elevated enough to enhance platelet responses and clotting risk in every person studied,” Dr. Hazen explains. Platelet function returned to normal levels by the next day.

I am surprised to see headlines warning of xylitol, because it is a key component in birch water and other traditional health drinks made from birch trees (Scandanavia, Russia, and other places with birch).

The clotting goes away after a few hours, but perhaps that was viewed as beneficial against injuries for those who drank it?

Maybe only within our society it is viewed as harmful, because people are rarely injured (and when they are, they have access to bandages, stitches, antibiotics, etc) and more commonly have chronic health problems that might be exacerbated by the temporary increase in clotting?
At least in the South of EU there are places with zero checks in place. I mean there are organizations operating in the Mediterranean whose whole purpose is to offer transport for people outside the EU without any checks required.

Honestly there isn't anything serious about such lack of checks. I'd say maybe US or Australia or such have serious checks in place -- EU is nowhere even close.
But as a policy proposal, those people will be inconvenienced just like landlord. OP could consider such people exist but also consider rent-seeking such a negative element in the economy that he'd rather eliminate that choice even for people who want it. Much like title loans
Border controls don't bother me much if they're just a quick check. Countries need to verify that who is coming in is who they say they are. My problem with Schengen Zone is that you can only spend 3 months there and have to leave. There was a time you could go to Europe and spend an entire year traveling country to country, now it's only a 3 months.
The Asylum system can be improved(its no way fair that some countries have to cater more asylum seekers than others). Sadly there are no legal ways to get the asylum Status, only the way that you have to cross the border without visum and to declare that you need asylum.

Please, read your own quote: “Global warming is _expected to reduce_ the ocean’s ability to absorb CO2”.

I nicely underlined the important part which confirms what I said in my previous comment to help you.
I don't either. It seems to me that a lot of CS people don't have the same values as we do unfortunately. A sad mix of computers seeming apolitical - 'I just wanna hack' and as a well paid industry, the same money maximizers that would in previous years been business majors.
While I agree the hiring pipeline has become much more difficult, employers have also become much more risk averse because a bad hire can absolutely slow down deliveries and have a net negative result org-wide.

It's a low trust situation on both the employer and employee fronts with bad actors tainting each other's opinions.

I'm not sure there's a way to fix this aside from relying heavily on referrals and hiring known quantities within your network.

That said, I absolutely agree with his opinion about not cargo culting BigTech style interviews - they are in a position where they can use it to choose candidates. Other companies may need to tailor interviews to meet their own needs (and most do ime).

And finally, we are now in an actually global hiring market. This isn't like 25 years ago when tools like high bandwidth internet, Zoom, Slack, Confluence/Notion, GitHub, and other productivity tools for asynchronous teams didn't exist, and more critically - plenty of hires from CEE, Israel, and India who worked in the US have started moving back to the Old Country, meaning there are now employees who can bridge the management gap across the globe.

The downside is now the labor market has become globalized and Ron in SF is competing with Radosław in Warsaw, Ramon in Costa Rica, Ra'an in Tel Aviv, and Raghu in Hyderabad.
Wouldn’t this number be analogous (roughly) to any other country? My understanding is who pays differs in the US than e.g. Europe or Canada, but the amount of people in need of care shouldn’t be too different?

One thing that seems to help me is that the to-do items are interspersed between journal entries. This feels like it gives me more context around what happened on a given day, or around a specific task.

The weekly journal also serves as a store for those useful snippets I find, like "command to access an AWS EC2 via session manager with automatic bash execution".
I think its fair to blame both, usually. Got enough hate left in my heart for it

I understand that companies need some sort of SAT/ACT-like method to rank candidates. I completely understand that part since there aren't really licenses in software engineering like other engineering fields. But I feel like a better way would be to present candidates with questions and problems actually related to the job. For example, if the job requires an understanding of Pandas, perhaps giving candidates actual tasks in Pandas would be better than asking them to traverse a binary tree.

I started and left my first in-person job in 6 years recently.

When I got home, I felt so drained that I didn’t even want to write any code or play any games. (which usually means I’m depressed)

Now it could’ve been that my boss sucked or that I just wasn’t used to leaving my house for that long every day, but if I can help it I’ll never take an office job again.
In general I agree with your attitude - however my sympathy is limited by my “lived experience” of interacting with those in the criminal justice system. Most of them belong right where they are - regardless of what the brain dead politico class has embraced.
Xylitol is produced in large quantities by birch trees, and is a main component of birch water and other traditional health drinks made from birch
And rightly so -- as far as the current conflict is concerned, it's a red herring.
As another example of how whack the job market is, recently I wrapped a year-long job hunt. When I tally my offers, I got offers from mid-level to Staff, and the highest offer was 2.5x higher than the lowest one.

The fact that different companies can have such a radically different opinion of the same person tells you how much of a crapshoot hiring in tech is.
That's the point of healthcare isn't it? You pay even when healthy so that if something big happens, you're covered by the system.

My senior design project for mechanical engineering was swapping lead acid batteries in an electric skateboard for nickel metal hydride (2008 lithium battery prices were not within a college budget).

It gave me a new found appreciation for battery tech and I still feel a bit like they’re incomprehensible magic boxes.

My proudest part of the project was: we didn’t have money for high end voltage or current recording devices and the amps of the thing was quite high. I zip tied a volt meter and an analog current gauge to a piece of plywood, then we mounted a 2x4 at a 90 degree angle and attached a camera to that. We used that setup to take video when we were riding. It let us correlate the time and other units together. By watching the video and manually recording the results into a spreadsheet.

Not fast or high precision but it worked well and most importantly was within budget.

Because about half of them are delusional and elect leaders who don't believe in science.
The top three killers in the US are heart disease, cancer, and stroke.

Two of the three are problems with excessive clotting, and cancer can have clot formation as a complication.

It's therefore reasonable to assume that increased platelet activity is likely to be harmful.
I have a family member who used to be the director of an urban area's primary emergency department. (Now retired.)

At some point he and his administrative staff saw a similar trend, and also figured out that their top 10 most expensive patients were all people who had chronic health conditions and no health insurance or medicaid. Not having health insurance meant they couldn't effectively manage their conditions, which meant they were repeatedly getting to a crisis point and having a family member call an ambulance. Which is just incredibly expensive - all emergency services are - and of course if they couldn't pay out of pocket for a family physician then they couldn't pay for emergency services, either.

The solution was to start just paying out of the ED's own budget for these folks to see regular care providers, buying them their medications, arranging cab rides, etc. It saved the hospital millions per year.
Yes, but not solely. They are also generalization.
> Another point of view is that macOS is great, but all ideas that make it great come from 20 years ago, and have died at the company since then. If Apple were to build a desktop OS today, there's no way they would make it the best Unix-like system of all time.

Many of those ideas came from NeXT, so more like 30 years ago.
You can’t glean insight about evolution from this. Hunger doesn’t follow a steady rate of making you irrational or whatever else. People who are used to it can go 18 hours without eating just fine. In fact they might report that it makes them sharper. While other people get “hangry” if they don’t eat every four hours.
I think what is missing is a timeline and clarity about the actual steps users had to take.

1) Onavo was a (free?) VPN app acquired by FB in 2014. Facebook used it to collect “market research data.” People chose to download this, but thought it was a security product.

2) At some point (it looks like 2016?) they launched an iOS app called Research, using the same tech, which required users to install a certificate meant for internal Facebook employees. They paid these users to monitor their traffic.

Are you saying that the MITM was happening for users of (1) or (2) or both?

Even if it isn't scientifically rigorous, I feel it's ( slightly) better than a horoscope in that it at least provides an opportunity for self reflection.

On the whole, one of the difficulties with tests like these is that we tend to have multiple "roles" we take on in different situations (there's a psychological term for this that I can't recall). We might be analytical and impartial at work, but emotion-driven when interacting with friends and family. It's difficult for tests like this to take into account the fact that we might feel differently about a question depending on the role we are currently in.
People - and animals - just want to get fucked up. You can see this when animals get into fermented fruit. So there's been plenty of time for alcohol to get very entrenched in human culture.
Yep. We tested SP2 vs SP3 on our college network. SP2 was compromised within 2 minutes. SP3 needed AV, but lasted over a day.
My understanding is that’s usually meant to mean a bar of milk chocolate or a smaller piece of dark chocolate. Though I could be absolutely wrong.
Show HN: A tool that enables learning by comparison
When learning a new programming language, we tend to compare with languages we know already. In fact, all new learnings happens by connecting dots with our existing knowledge. LyncLearn creates upskilling courses based on this principle. Courses that leverage your current skills to explain you the new concepts. As each of our skills are unique, it is not possible to create courses manually. We've used AI to create all the courses (3-4 hours) dynamically. Courses are in AV Slideshow format with code, illustrations etc.

P.S: The idea was inspired from a book named LiveWired.
> I think the explanation is simple: Color is light and it is linear going from ultraviolet to blue to green to yellow to red to infrared. It's just a line.

The most common misunderstanding of color is that it has any property extrinsic to the seer. Color is in the mind.

> In physical reality, there exists no purple light.

In what you imply is physical reality (optics) there's no color at all.

> Our minds make up all the shades of purple and magenta between blue and red when our eyes receive both red and blue light.

To repeat, your mind makes up every color. It's a category error to imbue light with a trait of color independent of the seer. In color science, what you refer to as physical reality is more precisely termed spectral power distribution of electromagnetic radiation in the visible range.

To the extent that radiation stimulates a color response for the human visual system, there most certainly is purple light, it's just not simulated by a single narrow band of radiation.

As you have attempted to note, The CIE horseshoe diagram (spectrum locus) illustrates this with the "purple boundary" at the bottom, which represents the perceptual edge of mixing long and short wavelength stimulus (red/blue primaries).

But to presume that there's a natural color of light is a distinctly human biased statement of reality. Different creatures have characteristic responses, with very different traits from humans. Imagine having sensitivity to polarization.

The artist's color wheel is circular because that's how color as qualia manifests in the mind of the artist. The physics of the qualia are more with complex intrinsic response of the organism than the extrinsic stimulus.

To speak of the color of light is common sense, but over-imbues the physics of the stimulus with human traits.

Make explanations as simple as possible but no simpler.

> ...Meaning you have to bend the real color line. And that's what we see in the chromaticity diagram.

Any explanation that regards "real color" as a trait of light rather than of perception misleads more than it clarifies.
"No serious health risk exists in most humans for normal levels of consumption. The European Food Safety Authority has not set a limit on daily intake of xylitol. Due to the adverse laxative effect that all polyols have on the digestive system in high doses, xylitol is banned from soft drinks in the European Union. Similarly due to a 1985 report, by the E.U. Scientific Committee on Food, stating that "ingesting 50 g a day of xylitol can cause diarrhea", tabletop sweeteners, as well as other products containing xylitol are required to display the warning: "Excessive consumption may induce laxative effects"

Xylitol gum exists in the EU too. It would almost certainly be banned if consuming even a slightly high amount of gum was linked to health risks.

It's not a lack of regulation problem.
I wonder if the Electric Giraffe requires a Department of Mutant Vehicles permit to be on the Playa. It’s not technically an art car but that might not matter
Yes?

To expand on the point using your analogy -

Your point is that there would be some things an expert would see, and then judge to be highly improbable.

While this point can inform our thinking, it is the lesser point that exists within a bigger issue:

First - This is a court of law, not the court of public opinion, or processes. There is an expectation of exactness, and of a fair, unbiased and attentive hearing of the facts.

Second- While I don’t know what a triple axel is, I have seen people who seem utterly out of shape dance with grace, and people who appear to be incredibly fit, turn out to be frauds.

In this scenario, I would say that the assumption that each case is similar, is not valid.

I will grant that it becomes human to behave this way though.
>this really doesn't pass the pub test.

How can you get more suitable than that, when it comes to studying the phenomenon in its natural environment ;)

I guess it can be a tough crowd when some of the subjects have been exposed to the test material much more indulgently than others.

The results could come out garbled, and you could be hammered - - by indecision :)
This is a great formulation and a very easy to apply test.
Cost presumably. Those thrusters use hypergolic propellants which are corrosive so would need to replaced after every test. Now that's not to say they couldn't have done it - the LEM from the Apollo days also used hypergolics and they did test those on the ground.
Because I don't live in China and I have no way to impact Chinese climate policy. Before my government would leverage climate trade policies it'd focus on them domestically.

But beyond that, China is making WAY bigger investments into green tech than the US does. They are world leaders in battery and solar technology and production. Global transition to green energy is largely going to be thanks to Chinese investments.
