Tangentially related: Thorne–Żytkow object https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorne%E2%80%93%C5%BBytkow_obj...

A hypothetical red giant that swallowed a neutron star, which sinks into the center and replaces the giant's core. Even at such a scale, the star is relatively stable (i.e., it doesn't go all kaboom immediately) because the matter falling into the neutron core is heated to such a degree that it can balance the inward pressure from gravity.
Onyx really simplifies the idea of data processing. I would recommend anyone using it, since we can integrate with another storage, and processing engine easily :)
No, I am the embodiment of logic and reason in a world where nepotism reigns. Except the nepotism isn't derived from hereditary privilege or income; it is derived from a particularly virulent philosophy that is not rooted in reality.

Also, I am an Indian-American male, second generation.

Please don't speak for me when you have no idea how it feels to be a minority in the US. I'm not some mascot you can parade around to make yourself feel justified in your flawed philosophy and ideals.
I did most of my primary and secondary education in the Republic of Ireland, and finished with a secondary leaving qualification in Irish Gaelic language and literature (as well as modern Irish and European history). My final grade in Irish was fairly respectable too, and I even had half-decent conversational Irish by then.
We don't know what a black hole will do, we just guess.

Normally I don't ask this sort of question, but are you a practicing physicist? If you are then this point is irrelevant. But if not, then we're all laymen/women here, and it's silly to accept the mathematical "guess" that says there might be tiny black holes but reject the proposed properties, when the same math that postulates their existence describes their likely properties.

You should really look into the history of science - it will give you some humility. At every age we thought we were at the pinnacle of science, only for later generations to find out things we never realized.

No doubt. I'm not questioning that. I'm saying it's presumptuous to pick and choose elements of a hypothesis without understanding the math behind it. If any of the participants in this thread are qualified to do so (clearly I am not), I'd love a link to your work on black holes. Otherwise, I maintain my original position.

> if they were rammed together, the resulting net velocity should be zero-ish (plus or minus experimental error).

Not necessarily. This is how current accelerator experiments work, and the particles coming out of those do not have zero velocity.

However, it is true that there is a key difference between current experiments and a hypothetical experiment that forms a black hole. The rest mass of the particles formed in current experiments is fixed, so any energy pumped into the particles over and above that becomes kinetic energy. But the rest mass of a black hole is not fixed, so it would be possible for all of the energy pumped in to become rest mass of the hole, instead of kinetic energy. (Possible, but still not guaranteed, as far as I can see; but since nobody really has a detailed theory of how all this would work, it's all speculation anyway.)

This article was written in 1997. In 1999 Qualcomm stock went up 26 times (2600%). If he were still at Qualcomm (Edit: Wikipedia reports that he was with Qualcomm till at least 2006)... Back then companies were still generous with options and principal engineer at Qualcomm was quite senior.
> Would this loss of momentum be enough to reduce its velocity below Earth's escape velocity?

Highly unlikely. If the hole starts out moving at nearly the speed of light, it will spend less than a twentieth of a second passing through the Earth. That's not enough time for it to absorb much matter, and it would have to absorb many times its starting mass (quite possibly thousands or even millions of times) to be slowed down from nearly the speed of light to less than escape velocity.
I don't think they are at all related.

Michael Larson wasn't a theft. He played fair and square and got no unfair advantages. He broke no rules and collected his winnings.

The McDonalds guy just stole a bunch of pieces, gave back the money he made, and went to jail.

They have nothing to do with each other.
> unless the hawking radiation is fast enough to counteract the mass it is absorbing

That depends on the initial size of the hole; if it starts out small enough, it would radiate away mass fast enough that it would evaporate before it had a chance to travel far.

> unless some stuff outside of it has momentum significantly changed

Which it would.
>>>>Their entire business DEPENDS on pirated content. You really think they would be making any money with the very very few legitimate courses? The business knows the majority of courses are pirated, and they don't care. This is how they make their money.<<<<<

I'm sorry I don't know how to edit my comment which broke the rules. I'm not sure why it's OK for this poster to claim that Udemy is a thief and it's not OK for me to claim that the poster has made a stupid comment, but if those are the rules, then those are the rules.

I'll restate. Because the poster made that comment, which I've quoted above, I would appreciate it if he would provide links to the many pirated courses that he says Udemy DEPENDS on.

Please don't mark me down for the caps. I'm just quoting him.

If Udemy depends on pirated courses it shouldn't be too much trouble for him to supply a link to a couple of the courses.

Here's the problem. Thousands of us have our courses on Udemy and we rely on our Udemy income to pay our bills. It's not OK for people to sling false accusations around and try to stir up people to boycott Udemy without having some reasonable argument to make. They should have some slim evidence that what they are saying is true. Making false accusations is bad behavior. It may not break the posting rules on this forum, but it is egregious behavior and it ought not be tolerated.
Ok, we changed the title to reflect that. (Submitted title was "Jeff Kell, ListServ pioneer and IRC inventor dies".)
> Momentum is mass times speed

Only in the non-relativistic limit. We're talking about a hole that starts out with ultrarelativistic velocity, so its momentum is not mv, it's gamma * mv, where gamma = 1 / sqrt(1 - v^2). For v close to 1 (meaning the speed of light), gamma can easily be a thousand or a million, meaning the actual momentum of the object is a thousand to a million times what the non-relativistic formula would make you think.

> It would stop pretty quickly actually.

I think you need to show some calculations. If the hole starts out moving at the typical velocities of particles in an accelerator experiment, it would need to absorb thousands or millions of times its starting mass to be slowed down to less than Earth escape velocity, let alone to be stopped. And at its starting speed it would take less than a twentieth of a second to pass through the entire Earth.

It's hard. I've done my own over the years. I'll look around and see. Products like SnapCircuits seemed to hold great promise yet they become horribly disappointing once you see a kid go from circuit to circuit without learning a thing. Such wasted potential.
And quite bloated! A friend was with them in 1997, and left, simply out of having to spend more than half their time - literally - in meetings. The money was absolutely not a problem, nor the projects - they simply couldn't spend their time programming.

I don't agree with the claims that Usenet is dead, or that it isn't used for actual discussion anymore. I am subscribed to many newsgroups and most of them are very active. They work in all regards like mailing lists: you will find support lists for programming languages or software, announcement lists, and discussion groups about humanities, politics and many other subjects you might be interested in. People who ask questions actually get answers.

There is spam, yes, but almost all of it is in newsgroups that receive no messages other than spam, and there is no point in subscribing to these newsgroups in the first place. You can filter the rest away with SpamAssassin or Bogofilter.

You can get free access from news.solani.org or www.eternal-september.org to the non-binary newsgroups, where all the interesting discussion happens. Any client like Gnus or Thunderbird can do.

I’m a developer at a startup in San Francisco. I’d be willing to bet a large sum of money that the _vast_ majority of developers are so-called ‘dark matter developers’. Contributing to open source projects, writing helpful blog posts, and participating in hackathons is going above and beyond the norm. Heck, even reading HN and proggit regularly and staying on top of new trends is probably going above and beyond the norm.

That said, it does sometimes seem like there is increased cultural value in being busy with lots of things — going to conferences and meetups, writing blog posts, contibuting to any and all open source projects. This kind of seems at odds with the old programmer ethos of laziness as a virtue.

I'm tempted to say that a lot of this ‘engagement’ with the community is cargo culting.

In any case, thanks for writing this anon. I've had similar thoughts and it's always reassuring to be reminded that I'm not the only one.

You must have an idea to implement. Innovation begins with philosophers who think up thought provoking concepts, then scientists set out to discover/prove/disprove these concepts, and engineers implement. You can be a genius at each one of these stages.
This has happened before, and the content creators face the same struggle. The most egregious example that I know of is Benn Jordan, aka The Flashbulb, who claims that ITunes, Google, etc. have made over 6 figures from selling music that someone uploaded without his permission:

https://torrentfreak.com/artist-cant-get-pirated-music-off-i...

It really sucked for Benn, who openly releases his own music on torrents and is active on What.cd, because he notes in his blog that he threw down 50 grand to hire an orchestra for the album that got stolen (Arboreal).

Unfortunately, as others have pointed out, musicians do not earn the same sympathy as programmers for the same issue, at least not here on Hacker News.
They could have quoted Jaron Lanier, he used to make people impersonate I-cant-recall-what-insect in VR suits, mapping various limbs and senses together. To move you had to remap your own senses of mobility to the animal. A great way to rethink and learn.

Along these lines, this is why I love hot-loading code. For example, there's react-hot-loader [0] (which was actually superseded already by react-transform [1]). This enables you to iterate much more quickly while you're building an interface. Along that same line, the same guy created redux and redux-devtools [2], which also enables you to iterate quickly on application code.

I've been using hotloading css, react and redux for the past few months and it's an amazing experience. It enables you to iterate quickly and see changes immediately. (Admittedly, as a project grows, there's a small delay between saving and seeing the change. I'm not sure if it's avoidable or not... But it's still much faster than having to do a full-page reload.)

Good that he works now for SAP. The software needs a new UI.

The SAP ERP software UI dates back to the 80s, and is still basically all text based, even the tables are still made out of ASCII chars.

Screenshot of an text based table (SAP ERP): https://mysapbasis.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/screenshot1.j...
... the table borders are drawn over the all text (= a lot of space and tab chars) based table.

Textfields cannot be longer than 40 chars, multiline textfields don't exist (basically one textfield per line) and it looks like a dinosaur UI in 2015 - optimized for 14" CRT monitors. Their HTML4 Netweaver UI and Java "experiments" failed.

> Alas it happens all the time.

In the field of computing, I think the greatest contribution to the world vs least fame & fortune goes to the inventor of the World Wide Web.

It's sad that outside of the computing world, Tim Berners-Lee is unknown. Asking your dentist, aunt, or barber about who they think invented the web leads to some amusing replies.

I've actually done this and after telling them about Berners-Lee, I found the following themes to be common:

(1) Incredulousness that it was one person. People either think it had to be a big company or that it somehow "evolved" into existence (you know, the way television or photography just kind of happened without any particular persons being involved /irony).

(2) Belief that he chose to not accept the money. That is, he could have made a fortune if he wanted to, but for unspecified reasons he didn't want the money. I've tried to explain that the web wouldn't have succeeded if he tried to charge for it (even assuming that CERN let him charge for it), but there's a popular belief that great work always gets rewarded unless one explicitly opts out of the reward.

AN ASIDE: I think that in all human endeavor, the record for greatest contribution to the world vs least fame & fortune, where the inventor is truly known, should go to Cai Lun (also spelt Ts'ai Lun), the inventor of paper. He's a real person and historically well-documented as the actual inventor of paper:

That's an awfully strong judgment to make on the sole basis of a $1000 donation to a popular cause (one that won the election, no less). It's not like he was a leader of the anti- gay-marriage movement. If he didn't bring his politics to work, there was no good reason for anyone else to. There's no evidence that his views on gay marriage affected how he treated anyone at Mozilla. Not a single complaint as far as I've heard, and I'm sure that he interacted with a lot of people given that he was a co-founder of Mozilla.

Magnanimity in victory is a virtue for a democratic society. Do you really think that it's good to have political witch hunts every time the winds change on a social issue?
I'm actually dumber for having read that, and I advise everyone else to protect your neurons.
Sorry. I didn't know how to open the thread when I replied so I didn't realize that you weren't the person I was originally speaking to. So to you I say, "You don't need to talk to me since I wasn't talking to you. But no, I'm no shill. I am a small, independent content provider and I find it disturbing that people make wild accusations and others believe what they read on Twitter with no need for any kind of proof."
Apology accepted. Thanks.
Ironically, pretty much all of us are bigots in various ways, we just don't know it because we believe we're right. Eat meat? Drive a car? Pay taxes to a militarily aggressive and murderous government? Buy luxury goods while poor people starve, even though you could have saved them with the same money? Think people should be prohibited from earning money if they weren't born in the right place or to the right parents? Opposing gay marriage is buried in a giant smelly pile of bigotries.

So, I agree with the X-parent saying it's wrong to kick someone out for supporting a popular and controversial political idea. It really isn't clear what the truly right answer is, and those same people doing the kicking will be holding "wrong" opinions in other areas.
I was a long time Eudora user -- I moved to Thunderbird a long time ago and I'm still using it. There aren't really many reasonable desktop mail clients anymore.
I find it very significant that Eich's supporters always reference "his beliefs" in the vaguest possible sense, and never "his belief that gay Americans ought to be denied various legal rights."

Denying legal rights to a group of people is not compatible with Mozilla's mission or spirit.

I admire Epicurus for his many visionary ideas in several areas, but ultimately his philosophy rings hollow. Pleasure as an end in itself seems both circular and ultimately extremely dull. It's interesting that Epicurus condemns extreme hedonism, since I think the ultimate lesson one can get from it is the ultimate pointlessness of pleasure as an end in itself. Pleasure for its own sake is boring.

Epicureanism sort of strikes me as Buddhism without enlightenment-- all the moderation and Earthly wisdom but none of the transcendence. It seems like a sure fire evolutionary dead end in every respect.

My opinion is based on his writings and talks, available on his personal homepage worrydream.com ~ he has prototyped a number of his ideas as interactive webpages, responsive development environments, demos as part of his talks etc. The genius scale is not usually known to be an objective and absolute system of measurement :) Part of the magic is (I believe) that he was outside of any narrow corporate project, or the confines of the paper publishing & grant system; and was able to explore and develop some of the ideas with the free thinking and depth required on his own time - in this day unfortunately true freedom today lies outside of both industry and academia.

I also reject in more essential terms the line of thinking around "actually implemented anything revolutionary as opposed to talks/ideas". Don't underestimate the power of well-argued ideas. See re: horse carriages above. You need to start somewhere, and that somewhere is ideas, sketches, equations, talks. If it doesn't make sense to you, fine. If it makes sense to some people, they'll go and use, reuse, some of the ideas in a hundred different projects and implementations. The turing machine was a mathematical device invented to solve a rather abstract mathematical / logical problem. It took some time to get to the iPhone from there. You need free space for the next Turing Machine to come from. Those types of ideas are very rare.

Side note - It is curious to me that some of the most interesting projects start out as "side projects" of PhD students, since they have the free time (the true quantity of which rarely admitted), usually not directly related to narrow research focus of whatever P.I. they work below minimum wage for asked them to work on.
