Lee Cronin talked about some of this on the Lex Fridman podcast recently.

And everyone else has to waste their time applying for a job for which the successful applicant is predetermined in order for the university to be able to tick the box that it was awarded fairly.

This was recently discussed in an interview with Lee Cronin on the Lex Fridman podcast [1]. The idea is that using only mass spectroscopy and a (hard to compute, but not impossible) look-up table, one can determine with vanishingly low unce

I am aware that there is an upper limit on security provided by longer passwords, but websites should still not set arbitrary upper limits on length from a usability point of view. If I want to use a longer password because that's the

It lacks the most infuriating rule found in the wild, an upper limit on the length of the password (that's not at least in the thousands due to e.g. request size limits).

Looking at the list I think it might be possible to pass all the tests (please correct me if I'm wrong). Maybe there needs to be a catch-all test that always fails?

Can someone explain the significance of this to HN noobs (apparently I'm one)?

It also, if you believe Saifedean Ammous, makes world wars impossibly unaffordable, once you achieve hyperbitcoinisation and it's no longer possible for governments to print money to fund conflict. It's probably one of the reasons

It's in this situation where pirating the game is 100% justifiable. You literally own it already.

Brit here. On your last point, there is no such widespread attitude in the UK towards government. We are historically conservative, but not libertarian. Don't forget two of the most famous and loved British institutions are the BBC and

If it takes maintaining blocking scripts for individual websites, I'm pretty sure services will spring up to crowd source it.

Indeed. It's pretty widely accepted in the Python world that \ should never be used. Black for example zealously removes them. Perhaps if we ever get a Python 4, it can actually be removed (along with other minor annoyances like the

I generally dislike fluent interfaces too, so much so that it stopped me from trying CadQuery initially. Only once I encountered something I couldn't do with OpenSCAD did I give it a go and now it's the only tool I use. It is one

I find peoples' reactions to this to not be a new phenomenon, but I do have the pandemic to thank for making me far better at identifying such personalities and not letting myself judge the person having them. In my experience it'

On the topic of China and IP, I watched an interesting debate on China between two politicians recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEchkn3unl8 . Funnily Vince Cable, arguing in favour of China as a friend to the West,

235.
by ssl232 5y ago
You may be right, but you cannot actually conclude that, because the country is 92% vaccinated and half of ICU are unvaccinated, the vaccines work. You need to stratify at least by age, but also by comorbidities and so on. For example, it c

(Not OP) I first read about this in The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous, the first 2/3rds of which, incidentally, is a history of (in his view) bad money. There he writes how the value of the gold (aureus) and silver (denarius) co

A friend of mine does keto and after running a marathon reported that they did not experience "the wall". Presumably this is because they were using fat to begin with, not after mile 15 or whatever.

Aha, that cleared up my confusion! Thanks.

I've stared at the image for 3 minutes and still can't figure out the difference. Where exactly is the "fat looking battery" you refer to?

I find it pretty egregious that tech companies in particular consider a way to fight misinformation to be to make it difficult to find. Where's the trust in people to critically assess evidence? We seem too afraid they'll pick the
