I was thinking abut this, and it seems to me that the Third Law problem only exists when you're starting the drilling (pressing down) and removing the drill (pulling up). During the actual drilling procedure, there should be a force from the action of the drill bit digging into the rock, and from the stuff being bored away from the drill. Shouldn't there be an equilibrium point where the pressure you're exerting on the drill (pushing you up) matches the force of the drill pulling you down? I feel [1] that higher torque speeds would impact this.

[1] "I feel," "It seems," etc. - I don't have the maths or the physics to back this up beyond intuition and a hasty free body diagram sketch, which admittedly seems to work well-ish for most problems in classical mechanical physics.

i also wonder if muslim countries suffered significantly less from the plague.

edit:

according to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death#Recurrence), that's not the case:

> The Black Death ravaged much of the Islamic world.[91] Plague was present in at least one location in the Islamic world virtually every year between 1500 and 1850.[92] Plague repeatedly struck the cities of North Africa. Algiers lost 30 to 50 thousand inhabitants to it in 1620–21, and again in 1654–57, 1665, 1691, and 1740–42.[93] Plague remained a major event in Ottoman society until the second quarter of the 19th century. Between 1701 and 1750, thirty-seven larger and smaller epidemics were recorded in Constantinople, and an additional thirty-one between 1751 and 1800.[94] Baghdad has suffered severely from visitations of the plague, and sometimes two-thirds of its population has been wiped out.[95]

Why my comment has -4 points? I simply stated the truth, everybody can measure size of JS of these extensions. I did not count default filter list to size of JS, I only counted actual JS code and uBlock origin has simple more JS code than both Adblock and Adblock plus.

If I lied I would understand the downvotes but I didn't lie. I was also surprised that uBlock origin is bigger than adblock, especially when it's name sounds like something much much simpler and smaller but the fact is that size wise they are practically the same.
People should carry weapons with them. Engineers can make smaller, lighter, safer, and less lethal weapons. It has to have the stopping power of a gun, capacity to be useful in a long firefight, and it needs to be readily accessible. The problem is not much is going to match a gun. Schools could install gun detectors or have armed guards, but they will cheap out and not do anything. People need to learn to defend themselves. In most mass shootings, anti-gun people want to blame availability of guns. But what about the ability to walk into a school with six guns unchallenged?
> 1) The plan is to incentivise people with schemes like http://filecoin.io/

Adding a market to this problem is interesting and may work, indeed. But you must not forget, that most internet connectivity plans for private customers prohibit commercial use, where the network is the essential part of that business. If people start to make money on IPFS, the ISPs will not just watch. Another aspect of this is taxes that people must pay if they make a profit, and all the requirements to operate a business. With this in mind, I am skeptical that this will scale to a size where you can say: And now it is really a distributed thing.

> 2) Yeah, I'll admit the asymmetric nature of home internet is a bit of a hassle. I suspect you'll still require machines on the backbone seeding content, with domestic machines focussed more on providing content to local peers and/or seeding rarely accessed content. In the long-term, IPFS can help ISPs in reducing their costs (content can be grabbed from within their own network, instead of having to peer with another network for almost everything), which might help to convince them to change.

Many ISPs already do that. CDNs use ISP data centers to bring content to customers. In fact, IPFS is not much different from their solutions. But IPFS can be a standard for content distribution. That would be a good thing.

> 3) IPFS doesn't force you to host any content you don't want to. If you choose to host illegal content, that's your problem.

It is not always obvious what content is legal. Copyright laws will test IPFS hard.
I can't help it but comment on how much posts regarding work/life balance focus on optimizing for happiness, but rare is the article that mentions how important is finding meaning in one's work to leading a fulfilling life. I would argue, for example, that finding meaning as a grunt or even as a big fish in the financial sector is harder than say, being a doctor. It's much easier to work long hours as a doctor and feel content when you see that your work has direct impact.

All of this is obvious, but I rarely see it mentioned. We should optimize for meaning in our work, not happiness.

You are already giving up a portion of your storage devices when you download something though. The data just sits in your browser cache, Downloads folder etc.

Actually BitTorrent effectively enables arbitrage between fast download bursts and giving back long slow uploads. You trade one for the other. Your fast download burst is a momentary aggregate of many slow uploads from other users.

Looks like currently IPFS is handling DMCA by having a centralised DMCA blacklist (voluntary). This should probably be solved in a more nuanced than that if IPFS really takes off but demonstrates it's not a killer problem.
The only reason everything doesn't end up commoditised is because they're protected in some way. Like, Facebook having all the people, or patents. If not, it's a race to the bottom every time.
I recommend redux, like sibling commentor cel1ne. You should just use a single store for everything, as is recommended in the Redux docs, and then if a particular view of your app only needs a subset of all the data, just "connect" it to the subtree that's relevant using react-redux. I use it with React Native and it works great. Just be sure to use the react-redux instructions for React Native.

The best thing about Redux (for me) is the ecosystem. There's tons of active development around middlewares (logging, persistence, routing, etc) and best practices. Its recent popularity means that you really can follow the beaten path and have a sane, performant app.

EDIT: If you're interested in an example React Native/Redux app, you can check out the toy HN reader I'm working on[1]. There are some critical missing features that make it not yet effective as an HN reader, but it's a decent React Native for Android tech demo.

A few modern games use Euphoria, so far as I recall one of the GTAs does. Euphoria is used when there are CPU cycles to spare and I have come to understand that it virtually never happens on average (console-equivalent) gaming rigs and only up to 4-5 ragdolls at once on top-end machines [at the time].

It's incredibly expensive technology. Possibly the solution is something in-between?
Then finding a recipe. Then getting the ingredients

This is the bit you're doing backwards. Type the ingredients you've got into Google, along with "recipe" and see what you fancy eating.

Now having said that, I do sympathize with posters who think cooking is time-consuming and hard. At the age of about 25 I specifically set about learning to cook, and it took me probably 5 years before I got good at it, and another 5 years before I was able to conjure a meal from bits and pieces of unpromising leftover ingredients.
Yeah, you can get to the number. The problem is by that time your health will be wrecked, so you won't ever actually get to do what you want to do.

Long ago I traveled to Puerto Rico on business. One of the locals was a refugee from just such a Wall Street job. He had his first heart attack in his early 40s, and a decade later when I knew him it seemed as if all he needed was a loud noise to send him to his final reward. He had come back to PR to be with family, both because he needed help and because that's what you do when your mortality stares you in the face.

Doesn't seem worth it to me. When he was young he worked around the clock - he said some days the only sleep he'd get was the 20 minute cat nap on the toilet at work. When I knew him he had plenty of money but couldn't walk a quarter mile down the street without stopping to rest. What's the point?

There are a few issues with your assumption that, and this is coming from an immigrant of former USSR.
1. It's not the nation-states that posses nuclear weapons that are the most dangerous, it is a possibility of an extremist group getting nuclear weapons. Countries has something to fear, a small criminal/terrorist organization does not.

2. US and Russia has similar nuclear stockpiles, how come economic distribution is different between the two? Nuclear weapons does not make you a "super-power", economy does.
Example: Germany has no nuclear weapons yet are an economic power.

I tend to think similarly, but there are many ways to generate a temporary email address.

It isn't the case here but site/app makings take note: this is why I never "sign-in using <social media account or some such>" so if that is the only option you offer I won't be trying your service/app/other.

For email I have a sub-domain set as catch-all and give out addresses in that to new sites. If an address starts getting junk I can just block it. If the sub-domain as a whole gets deluged then I kill it and start another (any site/app/other I continue using gets given an address on my main domain so I'd lose nothing, though I've never actually had to do that). Because it is a sub-domain it gets skipped by junk mailers guessing commonname@domain.tld addresses. Some sites have bad email address checking that rejects something@sub.domain.co.uk (I assume their regexp doesn't like the extra dot in the server name) but if someone gets that wrong I don't trust the code in the rest of their app so I move on.
This is the sort of comment that makes me aware of how alien even very similar cultures can be. I'm Irish and I grew up there. I had never defrosted anything in a fridge before moving to Shanghai. It was all either countertop defrosting or hot water. I wouldn't defrost fish in hot water because it'll cook or let it defrost at room temperature for more than an hour which should be plenty for most fish. If room temperature where you live is above 20 or so degrees you probably shouldn't counter top defrost unless you can check it regularly to see if it's done and

Hot water isn't really that bad for bacterial growth. Lukewarm water is the enemy but even that's fine as long as you cook the meat within half an hour of taking it out of the fridge for defrosting. If you're taking longer z than half an hour that's a substantial cut off meat and you really should be able to plan a day ahead.
Eastern Europe (starting with Poland) had different attitudes, there were very few witch hunts in medieval Poland (mostly they happened later, in protestant parts), and cats weren't persecuted. Catholicism in general wasn't very fond of witch hunts (it was forbidden by priests most of the time, because "spells doesn't work, there's just one God"), they were hard on the heretics instead.

Some people attribute this (big amount of cats) as one of the reasons Poland went through black death relatively unharmed (also the mostly rural population, of course).
There are only so many options here. Either:

* You are lying that you read the license.

* You were lying about what the license says.

* You really dont want to admit that you have misunderstood the license.

Either way, you were wrong then and you are wrong now about what the lawyers think. Speaking of which, there are only a few possibilities here as well, only these are not mutually exclusive:

* You are intentionally dishonest because you have an agenda

* You are dishonest just to cover your behind

* You are genuinely careless about what you say

Even if we change the word 'think' for 'say', it's still a gross overgeneralization.

So all things considered, in the best case scenario, you refuse to admit when you are wrong, and will continue overgeneralizing. Forgive me, but it's really not worth the effort arguing under these circumstances. If you wanted to continue, you would have to make some concessions, but I doubt you will, so in all probability: Goodbye.

Startup Comic #3 – Jason Calacanis
The total rule against dogs is a relatively modern interpretation in islam. It isn't even to do with the dogs themselves, but that most dogs were smelly and unclean creatures. There is plenty of evidence that the ban really only applied to mongrels, unclean street dogs. Working dogs (hunting/herding/guarding) particularly those similar to salukis, were not considered unclean and were kept. The Quran specifically states that animals caught by trained hunting dog may be eaten (005:004) with the necessary implication that they may be kept and trained.

The fear of black dogs is very much ingrained in many Muslim countries. But that tradition predates islam altogether and is widespread even in the west (black dogs are far less likely to be adopted).

1) Whilst it can be used to make a profit, it can also be used as a system to allow you to trade storage space on your own computer in return for replicating your own content on other people's machines. The more storage you provide, the more redundantly your own content is hosted on the network, and the longer you can still serve your own content whilst your own machine is offline. IANAL though, so I can't comment on the legal implications.

How much does real-life identity actually matter online? There are only a few situations (e.g. interviews) where identity should affect the outcome of interactions, yet face-to-face meeting is impossible.

I had tried this a while back, and found it depends on what you're searching.

For technical topics, I had found bing had a preference towards the articles from the microsoft developer network. It also had a bias towards MS technologies.

For example, looking for something vague like real time web server, bing gave a couple results from asp.net pages on the front page, while google seemed more balanced. Google had one link to NodeJS while bing had none.

You could experiment this yourself. I sometimes keep different tabs with different search engines and pick what I like best.

To briefly answer your question directly: until a while back Havok had no GPU acceleration, where PhysX had GPU acceleration on NVIDIA cards only (best-effort on CPU for other GPUs). It made sense to always use PhysX because it was comparable to the competition on other GPUs but always better on NVIDIA.

It is now likely better to always use Havok FX (which runs on many GPUs), but PhysX had a time lead resulting in it being entrenched as well as being more mature.

The PhysX SDK is also free with immediate download[1] (causing indie devs to more likely use it and blog tutorials about it). Havok has a price tag, but also has a indie program called Strike that has an undetermined (inquiry-walled) price tag.[2]
