My favorite way to learn CW, and what push me over the top into actually using it, was CW Academy from CWops https://cwops.org/cw-academy/ where you work together with an instructor and other students. Running CW over a Zoom call instead of the radio made it much easier to get into and easier to copy without the QRM and other white noise. They do strongly push for use of a paddle, which I like anyways, but those that prefer a straight key might prefer other resources.
I always figured TdF was a good metaphor for software innovation, because everyone who tries solo breakaways gets reeled in: successful breakaways involve partners who pull together to stay ahead of the pack.

Frankly, "a collaboration between you and the brand to tell a real story", translated back to the software world, sounds to me like a way to always be living on what you have coming, instead of having the ability to live off of what you have built.
I took a (turned into multiple) philosophy classes that forced me to explain hard concepts and my opinions on them to other people and then understand their perspective. I think this applies to many hard, deeply technical, subjects, but discussion is immensely popular in the pedagogy of philosophy.

The harder and more valuable part was putting those discussions into focused, clear, essays. I am a much better writer and thinker because of it.

The best way to learn how to think is to think. The way in which the quality of your thinking is best judged is in relation to other people. So just try a take your thoughts and try and put them in other people’s minds.

Migration your Notion workspace to Obsidian with ease
The current importer tool landscape usually requires you to import your entire workspace, does not allow you to select which page properties you would like to import, or fails to create a link between pages.

Yes, you'd need to get quite far from the Sun to use it as a lens - about 650 AU is where it starts becoming practical. It would also not be re-orientable, so any "telescope" launched to that location would only be able to observe a single target. (But, notably, it is far easier to send a probe to a far point in our own solar system than it is to send it to another star entirely.) There's a paper that goes into much more detail at https://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.06351

So why not use interferometry instead? Well, it has some significant drawbacks. For example: the Event Horizon Telescope used radio telescopes - and pretty much had to, due to how interferometry works: you need to be able to compare the phase shifts between the multiple telescopes, which means you need to be able to sample the signal faster than the radio frequency you're using and record it. The EHT records 64 gigabits per second for each telescope, and then all this data needs to be combined to compute the resolved image. This amount of data would be problematic for space-based telescopes - even on Earth, it was not practical to send multiple petabytes over the internet, so it was saved to hard drives which were shipped by truck instead. This isn't practical in space, so you would need to transmit the data by radio, which means you'd end up with some crazy ratio of thousands of hours of transmitting for every one hour you spend recording.
There's also the option of spending around $35k to purchase a Japanese business and use that to get an investor visa.
NYC has a bunch of uniquely New York problems that make accommodating anyone - refugees or otherwise - impossible. It's some of the most expensive real estate in the world, in a city that's seeing huge population outflows, burdened by an extremely top-heavy city and state government. If you don't have a tax base, you can't accomodate anyone.

But there's plenty of America that isn't NYC.

Furthermore, Eric Adams is... ugh. How do I put it? The Wikipedia article on him has an above-the-fold mention of him doing community work with Nation of Islam[0], as an NYPD cop. He got elected because NY liberals would vote for Trump if he had a D next to his name. Furthermore, federal investigations have revealed he's a foreign agent of Turkiye and Erdogan, up to and including denying the Armenian Genocide[1]. He's hilariously incompetent and malicious at the same time.

What…?
The problem is that there is too much of this general exposure and specialization happens way too late once the brain is not as good at learning anymore. People peak in competitive fields when they are in early 20s or even before that. In our education system we are not even allowed to do the job before we are like 25 or later. There is only so much you can learn sitting in a chair listening to a professor. It's a completely backwards system that limits potential of about anyone with average+ intelligence.
A few points on this:

- How and when would you know a subject doesn't click? In my case German (my first language) and English sucked for roughly 8 years. I ended school with A in both and was the only student in my school without a single mistake in my exam.

- School gives you good grades if you managed to learn the topics at hand. Being able to learn what is needed or what you are bad at — not what you want and are good at is a skill in itself that can be important in life. I'd argue unless you are an exceptional genius (unlike 99,999% of pupils) you gain more from pulling through than you would if you called yourself a genius and focused on a single topic. Schools goal is to educate the majority

- pupils (and often also their parents) are utterly unable to judge which bits of school will be essential to their later life. I had many collegues who utterly hated every second of a multitude of subjects, only to years later tell me how glad they are now to have had been subjected to it (which brings me back to my first point)

We could (and should!) argue on how school works as a system of grades, teachers and pupils — ideally teachers would motivate students to become curious about and proficient in subjects without the motivation of good or the threat of bad grades. But if my experience as an educator at the university levels (without grades in mh case) shows one thing it is that those first semester students who are really able to judge what will be useful to them later on are not many. Many of them are more like the dog in the meme: "Only stick, no take" — they want to be able to do the cool thing without knowing what is needed to do the cool thing.

I spent some time in the Peruvian Amazon with local medicine families. In some groups they believe that when mosquitos buzz around the ears, some bodies automatically react by sending blood to the skin in preparation for an immune response (possibly a learned response from a past bite or perhaps inherited). A symptom of that response is goosebumps at the sound of mosquitos.

Any test that needs 100% accuracy to pass when you are under pressure, filling ambiguous and unimportant questions, is simply bullshit. It's design to make you fail at will if you think about it. Even one ambiguous question is sufficient to fail an otherwise perfect submission: just say the answer was the other way around.

I'm not afraid of having parts of my information online in general. Having a website often needs an imprint with a big part of your data. It's more like the information only friends and family know of and which are way more important in many senses.

- phone - this is kind of ok, because phone spam is less common

- email - to prevent spam

- birthday - this one is quite critical, because here in germany it is a common way to verify authentication on phone calls by insurance companies

- job-details, contact relationships, etc.

I doubt that these are all in the public registry.

I'm wondering if the intended assignments for these reserve officers would be for operational roles or in acquisitions/program management.

Historically there are a lot of revolving door style career moves, but usually from the direction of active duty officers going into industry roles. And in the last decade we've also seen the flow back in reverse direction (e.g. SecDef, technically a civilian office)

While it wouldn't apply to every person serving, it seems possible to have exposure to conflicts of interest if the person's civilian job directly intersects with the industry pool where systems are being developed and procured from.

I completely agree. The trouble is we're so far away from this that all the people who learnt from a few tutorials and never read any books will try to defeat it at every step. They're here in these very comments.

I disagree - I'm not adding an additional dimension. You're implicitly including the dimension of intensity without calling it out explicitly.

The only way that two different otherwise identical light sources can output different amounts of energy is if they have different intensity.

Or put differently, in your example if you have different wavelengths and hold intensity constant then energy is also constant. It's your example that has implicitly introduced the concept of intensity without explicitly saying so.
And the evidence of that is my example. My example is exactly your example, but holding the intensity consistent between the two different light sources. If you do that, then your example fails.

Different wavelengths of light at the same intensity output the same energy. Meaning wavelength does not change the energy output by light.

Even though photons exist, light is fundamentally not a particle. Your statement would hold if light were a particle and only a particle and did not also have wavelike properties. And generally when discussing light as human perception it's the macro scale and wavelike behavior that is being discussed.

Voting rights in parts of America before the Voting Rights Act depended on passing an arbitrary test that differed from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and may or may not have measured literacy and civics knowledge… if you were black (or native American, depending on state). You could be a well-regarded English literature professor at a black college and still have to subject yourself to what you knew was a farce being administered by someone far less literate than you in order to attempt to vote.

If you were white (“your grandfather could vote”), you were usually exempt, even if you could barely sign your name on your voter registration.

Family reunification visas have helped America dodge several bullets when it comes to immigration. We're actually one of the easier countries to get admitted to, and we know how to integrate large numbers of unskilled migrants at scale. The trick is that family members already provide a support structure for new migrants, who integrate, and form the support structure for the next wave of migrants. Do this across every nationality ever and you have basically the US's current demography.

A "What we need economically" immigration system is what's currently eating the EU alive. EU countries basically don't do any work integrating immigrants, they expect everyone to be an economically desirable immigrant that can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. Which is great until you have a refugee crisis, or two, and now your country's flooded with people you don't know how to integrate, your native population is turning hard-right, and the migrants are too but in just an ever so slightly different way that somehow makes them more of a threat to the right than left-wingers and liberals.

We already have a "market-based immigration system", it's called a "golden visa", except the cost tends to be in the six to seven figures. It's a way for really rich people to buy their way into a country, not a serious means to admit large numbers of economic migrants. The above also applies to points systems like Canada's, which selects for middle-income countries that have lots of university-educated English or French speakers. That's great if you want to import half of India and China, not so much if you want a diverse immigrant pool.

>You can only progress so much in a field of expertise before hitting diminishing return.

I suppose how long you can progress for and how far you can progress depends somewhat on the breadth and depth of the field of expertise.

Many fields of expertise are so broad and deep that they have their own sub-fields just to make them manageable.

So you would probably be in a sub-field and then broaden your knowledge and skill-set in a related sub-field of the overall field that you are well suited to.

I'm betting it's likely you can see how your own particular field, as you are on HN, replicates this pattern.
