In the U.S., by the time a student starts calculus they will usually have already worked with complex numbers in the context of elementary algebra. It's true, though, that this won't necessarily have included complex exponentiation.

Unfortunately, there isn’t more than that.

I suspect 90% of "pro-Palestine" posts actually means "pro-Hamas" which, yeah, you can't promote terrorism of which Hamas is recognized as.

More than that, should Musk one day not be in power, he would still have the capability to limit the visibility of, censor, ban, or otherwise manipulate the official communications of (at least one, I assume there will be more) a department of the federal government.

Is it? In EU 112 is legally mandated. Did they roll back after Brexit?

Either way the numbers are mostly legacy. On mobiles emergency calls are a special protocol, no number is really transmitted to the network. If the phone application recognizes a certain number it will initiate an emergency call. And quite often several numbers do it. 000, 112, 911, 999. (Admittedly it's many years I last tested it.)


why downvoted for a simple fact with evidence?

> arrested for resisting arrest"

I don't think she was "arrested" to "pay for her crimes" so to speak. As in "ok, she was in jail for 10 days, now she learned her lesson and she gets the J-1 visa uncanceled". It's a bit of a different mechanism - the default action here is to be sent to Russia. She chose to stay here instead, even if it meant being in detention. I may be wrong, but I think she can always say "I am going back to Russia" and they'll let her.


> And the events of the last 30-40 years have shown why this is a beyond foolish approach.

No. The events of the last 30-40 years have shown that extremism is beyond foolish.

Extremism on the other direction got much quicker and way more destructive results.


I agree and I think that supports the idea that salary alone is a bad metric for skills. Many people will take a lower pay to support a mission they are passionate about. To claim that makes them lower skilled or that they couldn’t get a higher paying job elsewhere is an overly simplified mental model.

so, per the article, they'll post a link to a PR in a tweet instead of informing media directly or via a "dear colleague" letter. Does anyone really care or am i supposed to be outraged? Was anyone in the general public getting these PR pieces or "dear colleague" letters directly from the IRS anyway?

Alternative social media contains alternative personalities

Just wait: we also import a bunch of eggs. So this doesn't include tariffs, yet.

On the other hand... we export even more eggs, and other countries are going to levy actual reciprocal tariffs. So maybe we'll have a surplus of unsold eggs, and we'll just have to eat 'em ourselves.


Interesting comment. Why ants? Do they use symbols to express complex ideas to each other?

Excelling at creating paperwork... but now digitally.

> I know HN has a bit of a click-bait love relationship with Erlang/Elixir but it hasn't translated over to adoption and there are companies that are just burning money trying to do what you get out of the box for free with the Erlang stack.

Do you or the community have a sense why that is?


The fact Windows 2000 was peak Microsoft and OS X 10.5 was peak Apple is proof that the golden age of software is way behind us, unfortunately.

The Chinese look to the future. America, barely looks past the next stock market report. Trump looks to some unidentified time in the past when daddy loved him.

Not having a high level, shared vision of the future dooms America, and the current political divide has the boat swaying worryingly side to side.


it uses llama.cpp

I'm not sure if the common core curriculum that came about in 2010 is proving you right or wrong, given the vehement "that's not mah math!" response that it got from the public.

But it's still the adopted standard in the majority of the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Core_implementation_by_...


German only, sorry. Both are reputable news outlets (though the Spiegel has gone down quite a bit in recent years IMHO).

She hired her future husband as an employee until immediately before their wedding. This position was paid by the federal German parliament, i.e. the taxpayer. It's illegal to hire a relative in such a position.


but a human can injest some of the library of Alexandria, and then generate dollars for their employer regurgitating those books. You just mad at the scale in which it is done?

Thanks. So Erlang is really only about managing process lifetimes and simple RPC? In my experience processes often have meaningful internal state, meaningful in the sense that it matters if it gets lost due to a crash. If I understand correctly, Erlang doesn’t provide any particular model or mechanisms for dealing with that?

Price, UX, and fixed hardware that can be heavily optimized for.

My friend does some trades in watch market as he gets access to limited editions from time to time (if you know right people in dealerships you can sometimes buy a watch out of line if the original "subscribed" buyer doesn't show up). There are quite a few people who want to buy an expensive watch or two to show off on their social media. People just really like shiny status symbols.

They do mention SERV in their references (38).

Sadly I can't access the full article right now.


Spotify only has about half of the music that I like. A lot of it is remixes and jams from Japan that can only be found on youtube, soundcloud, or in some cases it's actually only available on private trackers.

Conservatives have been posting home addresses of judges and doxxing activist much longer than that. I'm not condoning it but lets not pretend both sides aren't a shitstorm.

>who was in charge of “digital infrastructure” in previous governments

germany's digital infrastructure is a global laughing stock, this doesn't bode well.


It's not a falsehood. The confidence of working at Ericsson and WhatsApp seems to have kept you both from just looking it up.

Surely bad and blonde (not intended to imply gender) are just adjectives - a dancer who is bad (at dancing), or a dancer who is blonde?

Trust me, if you met me you would not be suggesting I am PC - but this really jumped off the page at me. Such a strange example for this context!
