> ask anyone that actually works in the industry - fancy math is no longer a thing

Huh? What happened? This is a very interesting claim I would love to hear elaborated

Man of the people:

> Ujiharu’s blind charges may actually have had a noble purpose. Japanese battles involving castles almost always turned into sieges, and those always ended the same way: with the nearby fields and peasant settlements being either destroyed to try and draw the lord out of the castle or looted to feed the occupying army. Some researchers believe that Ujiharu was trying to avoid a siege to save his subjects.

Possible harmonization of the two ideas: the intuition that we go into math at high school level can help serve us at that level of math. We have some idea of geometry-like objects and 2d-calculus like curves from our everyday life

At university level the objects become more abstract, so the intuition we use in normal daily life may no longer apply. New kinds of intuition may develop but it takes work, including lots of time spent with the formal processes and calculations along with reflection on that time, and the active creation of new metaphors to drive the intuition. For example, I still remember a professor using "Ice-9" (from _Cat's Cradle_) as a metaphor for how proving some local property of a holomorphic function on the complex plane made that property true for its global behavior

I agree both that the concept probably applies to all people and that the title probably is what it is because of the publication. But I left it because of HN conventions on not editing titles

> Boulder is a remote place?

I agree Boulder wasn't the strongest starting example, but it is a lot smaller than Miami

The article discusses other, more remote locations as well

The article largely discusses the band from Charleston to Jax. That's coastal. There is a lot of wealth flooding to Charleston and areas like Beaufort. I have seen it first-hand, although I live on the west coast.

There are other factors at play besides just affordability.

> Drugs, hypnosis/mesmerism, meditation, trance, new religious movements, weird fasting regimens, transcendental experiences in nature, mysticism. That stuff has disappeared from public discourse today, along with many other radical ideas that could apparently just be talked about over coffee back then, without anyone batting an eyelash.

It's all over the place on social media. What gives you the sense that is has disappeared?

Man, I find this so frustrating. Fed should have hiked again and gotten it over with, already! See e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsFX6Qz7y-U (Powell's message to markets was 'confused and confusing': Allianz's Mohamed El-Erian)

It's not your typical "people are leaving CA" story--we have colorful characters like Lance Gilman--a septuagenarian brothel owner spearheading the development, in the desert, of the world's largest industrial park

> The park’s co-developer and lead salesman, Lance Gilman, lives and works out of the famous bordello, a modest set of rust-colored buildings just outside the park’s gates. > > Gilman, 78, wields tremendous power in Storey County. Not only does he run the county’s main business development, but he also serves on the county commission that governs it. He won some of the country’s largest tax breaks for his tenants and also persuaded the state to reimburse him and his partner, Roger Norman, tens of millions of dollars to purchase and complete the USA Parkway, a large road that connects the industrial park to Interstate 80.

You could make a case for blue owl capital

I would love to see it stamped out in the US but I'm not sure what it would take to create the necessary change in culture

I'll usually do a dollar a drink for good coffee shops (similar to how I would tip a bartender at a typical, not-high-end bar). 10% maybe if there is counter service that involves some food prep

One of the most unnerving aspects of this situation is how the POSs can be tweaked to nudge people's behavior with inappropriate shame. As I mentioned in the first comment, one more reason to lean back to cash.

One more reason to lean back towards cash. I'm all for tipping well where it's appropriate, but the tip-creep is getting ridiculous.

Broadly, it seems like both--India on the rise and the UK on the decline

What claim did you find unconvincing?

I agree with you O'Leary is probably talking his book. And of course there are examples of highly intelligent individuals running off in irrelevant (or worse) directions.

Do you think there is nevertheless some predictive value in the direction that larger cohorts from elite institutions choose to take, even if that direction derives from market effects?

This is the first time since inception it has traded below its previous bull market high.

This time is different.

The good news is, you're in demand, so you have a good place to start!

Cool take.

I just checked, and it looks like Ulysses has a default width of 64 characters. Swapped it to 50. Let's see what happens.

It's a piece arguing that robots have made human labor conditions worse rather than better, specifically in warehouses

I can't help but wonder if the author and editors are playing on her name a bit with the choice of topic and the headline, though!

I know a guy who dropped out of HS and did this as an HVAC guy. He bought a house on a lake, a second home at the beach, and built a special garage to house his car collection. After an ugly divorce that cost him almost everything he has rebuilt (but not quite to where he was before). It takes a lot of work but it can be done. As others have observed, it's unfortunately regarded as a low-status option on the coasts

> Now if we can just figure out traffic in the Cottonwoods.....

This problem is actually the main reason I haven't moved to SLC yet. So much of the draw there is about being able to get up into (and out of) the mountains quickly, and during ski season (as you know but other readers might not) it can get really terrible. Like worse than I-70 west of Denver terrible

I have tried the ski bus approach, but had a frightening experience of being on one of the last buses down on a crowded day when LCC went into an interlodge event. I have heard a lot of proposals for solving the problem, from gondola to restricting car access and pushing people toward the buses, but so far I think there is no end in sight?

> my assumption is that they will eventually figure out how to get the best production companies on board and completely take people like Disney...

Disney is big - on the film side there's Walt Disney Pictures, Pixar, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios, Searchlight Pictures and Blue Sky Studios

On the TV side, ABC, 20th Century Fox Television, FX Networks, ESPN, and others

I'm not saying Netflix and Amazon won't be able to produce more and more. But completely taking out Disney seems like a whole 'nuther ballgame

I'd be curious to hear more of your reasoning

Does anyone have a link to the actual document (‘Journeying Towards Care For Our Common Home’)? I haven't been able to find it, via the Reuter's piece or on the Vatican website

"See also" (from the legal blue book) seems like a natural indicator. As applied here it could be as simple as:

The links already indicate that the pointers are to previous Hacker News threads, so no need to specify that part. If you want to use you "from the archives" language it could be something like "see also from the archives"

> We will still see cases…but only cases in people who have arrived from overseas.” Travellers from abroad will be quarantined as part of efforts to prevent transmission in New Zealand.

> As New Zealand now eases its restrictions and its economy slowly reopens, there are discussions about how it can open up its borders while ensuring that everyone is protected

What's the end-game here, assuming the disease goes endemic in the rest of the world (as seems likely)

Can we make millions of the tests rapidly available? I am still reading about test shortages on both coasts, even under the restricted testing regime we have been in so far.

Maybe the no-contact thermometers could be a scalable approach. Go to the bank? Forehead scan to get in. Go to the grocery store? Same. At least until--and maybe even after--we can scale the RNA testing.

How does it save lives? If someone took this test and popped positive, would it increase the likelihood of receiving effective treatment or of reducing transmission? I'm trying to figure out the value.

I thought I remembered reading somewhere recently that 2:1 is already in use in some cases (maybe in Italy?), but I can't find a source.

Is there increased risk of ventilator failure with this approach? That seems like it could be an additional terrible factor to weigh, because parts have become so scarce.
