I don't see anything wrong with it. Honestly it is your post that sounds off to me. You're implying that somehow Human Interest is discriminating against people with Asperger's but there's nothing in their post that says that.
My favourite abstract algebra textbook is Fraleigh's A First Course in Abstract Algebra. Unlike the article here, which just dumps you a bunch of definitions, the book introduces each structure with proper motivation. It's not a CS approach though.
If you want a CS approach I suggest learning basic Haskell then tackling the fantastic Typeclassopedia. The downside is you'll be missing on structures/theorems that are super useful in math but not that useful in programming.
In TFA, "slow morning" doesn't mean waking up late. It means waking up early but taking your time before starting work. If you're a night owl you're probably not doing slow mornings.
Tokyo's public transit system is overrated IMO. Sure, trains and subways cover a lot of ground and are usually on time, but most of the lines are well over 100% crowdedness during rush hour:
Forced? That sounds a bit too 1984-ish. I believe in a more Brave New World future, where people will pay good money to get chipped and the only "natties" (unchipped people) will be people who either cannot afford it, or "wackos".
What do you mean by "actually reflecting the world"? If you mean using objective criteria of some sort, how would that help deciding if the week starts on Sunday or Monday, or what days of the week are to be business days?
If anything, I wish it was more "negative" about India; instead of talking about why people take part in lynchings and why they are so common in the country, the blame goes to WhatsApp, which "has been getting Indians killed". It's as if the actual killers had no agency.
Same thing about the anti-vaccination groups in Brazil: as a Brazilian citizen my concern is that those groups exist at all and are affecting public health, not what app they happen to use.
Where I live permanent employees are protected, so the probability of being legally fired for disclosing my salary is 0, and the probability of illegally being fired should be very close to 0. However, the probability of my salary going up is also very close to 0. In fact, the probability of my salary decreasing is arguably higher than the probability of my salary increasing, since bonuses vary and are decided semi-arbitrarily. :-)
In any case I know a much more effective way to increase my salary: getting a green card and moving to the US. The flipside is that my American wife would have a hard time finding a good job in her field in the US.
Not obvious to me at all. Weed is already legal in several states in the US; weed use is far from taboo on HN; you have FU money. So why the throwaway? (Of course you have right to your privacy, I just wonder what are the "obvious" reasons ...)
AFAIK the main reason is that Japanese whiskeys started getting awards and demand exploded. Even here in Japan they're expensive, to the extent that scotch has a better bang to the buck ratio.
1) because of this problem, the government is considering keeping Heisei for a while after the emperor steps down https://minhan.jp/4599 (in Japanese)
2) the Japanese calendar (specifically the year) is used in some official documents and formalities, but in daily life people mostly use the Gregorian calendar. If you ask a bunch of Japanese people what Heisei year is now, I bet a significant percentage of them won't remember. I've worked as a software engineer in Japan for over 10 years and I've never had to deal with Japanese calendar years.
Wait, how's the 24h x 5000 TPUs relevant? That is training time, and that training corresponds to years and years of hardcoding evaluations in Stockfish, not to compute time during the match.
