Its a reasonable question. If you did it such that the explosion was on the earth facing side, you would impart a significant amount of energy to the material ejected. Some of that would move in a retrograde motion to the moon, thus reducing its orbital velocity and lowering its orbit relative to the moon. Other material would have the opposite effect, and material ejected perpindicular to the orbital plane would find itself in a very strange orbit indeed (probably reconnect with the moon later as the orbits eventually intersected).

I can't imagine though that you'd get enough of it into an orbit that intersected the Earth's atmosphere to do any sort of damage. You might have some great meteor showers as it entered the atmosphere but probably no chunks big enough to reach the ground.

You can put the rules in - some of your suggestions are already standard in many hackathons, but I doubt it would make much of a difference.

Many hackathons are judged or attended by major investors, so the incentive to cheat is extraordinary. The last hackathon I went to there were several teams that clearly had everything lined up ahead of time and were there to pitch, and I doubt you can get rid of this without getting rid of the investors.

More than that, many hackathons pride themselves on being interesting for investors, so they're incentivized to look the other way so that the presentations are as impressive/fundable as possible.

I don't think I'll be going to another hackathon for a good long while - the combination of people who seem to have no interest in the spirit of hacking on stuff, and the incredibly toxic culture I saw (getting smashed, pounding back energy drinks, flying drones around annoying people, nerf gun fights through the hallways, it was like a goddamn freshman dorm but sweatier and somehow more childish), makes me completely not interested at all.
I was definitely glad to see that when he posted it. Getting some mainstream attention. Meanwhile, CompSci has been doing things like CompCert C compiler, strong analysis showing absence of common issues, and so on. We have stuff to use right now at varying stages of completion. People just have to heed the call and build on it.
I use a browser to read email. I use the FastMail web interface with the "minimal" mode. It takes some getting used to, but after using it for almost a year now, I see where it really shines. Only thing I wish it had was right click context menu over an item in the email list to perform actions on it without opening it.
Do you even use it?

Because if you did you would probably know it offers the same on Android and also does text and picture messaging.
Not sure what they will use vs Lee Sodel, but their optimal setup was 1202 CPUs and 176 GPUs, at least from their paper see page 17:

Hackathons cultivate the opposite of "empathy, perseverance, dedication, and ability to work on large projects".

They make people hypercompetitive and unwilling to collaborate or help just so they can get their `sponsor_api` mixed with `sponsor_api` app done. I'm making a big generalization but IMO sponsored hackathons cultivate some of the worst aspects of our culture.
I suspect the author was talking about defining methods for individual variants of an enum, something like

enum Foo { A, B }
impl Foo::A { fn method_on_a(&self) {} }
> Over in The Information, the Lessins argue that “the period where tech startups can readily disrupt larger tech companies is ending for a simple reason: Today’s tech behemoths aren’t the lumbering giants of yesteryear. They are leaner and meaner and more competitive precisely because they have co-opted the same technologies startups used to attack them”

I disagree. I am reminded of the comparison of the prisoner and the warden, where the warden [behemoth] has his whole life to think about whereas the prisoner [startup] is only thinking of escape [way to get a leg up on the behemoth]. The difference is that many people see the behemoth with no obvious weaknesses and give up; but if they had the same weaknesses they exploited, that would be too easy wouldn't it?

We already have a term for what he did, he broke the terms of service. That was clearly laid out in his comment. I don't think you added any new information to it.

I think you are getting down voted because he explained the entire situation, and you generalized it in a way that strips his actions of context.

For instance if someone told me your were a thief, I would instantly form a poor opinion of you. However I would form a very different opinion if I knew the reason you were a thief was because you posted your bike on craigslist, and then broke the terms of service by re-posting those pictures elsewhere. Thus anyone who introduces you as a thief is doing you and communication a disservice.
For anyone slightly confused (I was), Bury Council (bury.gov.uk) is the local government for the town of Bury, and that is a guide for burials in Bury. It's not the national authority for burials or anything.
I backed the kickstarter for this tool back when it came out and I'm glad I did. I don't do a lot of this type of thing, but overall it's the quickest and easiest one I've used! It's been a boon for making small animations for many of the quick projects I've worked on. Keep meaning to do something real and proper with it, but I've yet to take the time.

Every time I go to use it, it's getting an update and new runtimes. No complaints at all!
Previous discussion last year here[0] but I had completely missed that, so thought it would be of interest again given the current events.

With the ad-auditor idea, the model itself changes. The middlemen go away, and there's a person at the other end. Yes, the business of ads will change per this new model.

An analogy is financial-auditors -- a human has to be present and sign even if the report is for a company behind 10 shell companies.
That sounds really cool! I tried to sign up but it looks like the form is broken. Is there a way I can sign up to be notified when the next FU Weekend is announced?

Should also add that they are a very different type of events than the ones outlined in this post. Competition is replaced by collaboration. Prizes by internal reward. Junk food by beer drinking.
So, because you disagree with a connection of the group the data is false?

That's a great idea. It's also known as ad hominem and is a logical fallacy.
No, you never can. In any language, no matter the kind of specification, I can write an elaborate method to break any form of non-human verification.

Maybe I'm not getting it. It just sounds like a unit test design with extra steps. I might just need to see an example to understand how it works.

Too bad this is closed source.
There's a Visual Studio plugin available, and I know VS Code has a nice plugin as well ( you need to install certain tools yourself in that case ), as well as other editors with their own feature set.

You can go straight to wordpress.com and click "Create Website". Or if you want to take a more complicated route and go self-hosted, go to Dreamhost and select the WordPress 1-click install.

It literally is that easy. To write an article containing "So it took you two weeks to finally get the famous five-minute install finished" is just stupid.

I don't care much for WordPress, but the one thing you can't deny about it is that it's easy to install.

Just to make sure, I was not critical of _your_ skepticism (as in personally), it is necessary for science. But was pointing out that emotion in a 2nd being is inordinately difficult to make any claims about. We give human emotion / empathy a free(er) pass compared to the standards we use for other animals. I think a Turing test equivalent is the most one can do in these cases.

For example you and I may agree that something is color yellow but still be seeing something completely different. We just agree on the name because that's how they have been labeled to us when we were learning the colors by name. This is just for simple concepts like colors, for complex things such as emotion intelligence it gets much more fraught.
The article title (and some parts of the article) argues that tech companies are being hypocritical by opposing the FBI since they still gathering your data.

This is a silly concern that is easily dispelled.

The cost of a company mishandling my data is much greater than the government mishandling it. If there is a data breach within a company, there is a huge chance that users will flee to a competing service if there is one available. No such recourse is available for citizens if there is a data breach within government.

While I believe strongly in the power of our vote and voice, we can't solve FBI data breaches by voting in new congressmen. Hypothetically speaking, if the FBI had a database of all our SSNs and home addresses and they were stolen, then no elected official would be held responsible.

So, I see no problem in "Apple's tech allies" opposing the FBI and still making money from ad revenue. The largest tech companies are more secure than the government. I would still like tech companies to give me services that are more secure, however they are infinitely more knowledgeable about technology than our government.

> So effectively what you're saying is that we should eliminate ad networks. There is no reasonable way to screen every ad before it is shown when using an ad network.

Or you could have ad networks that only circulate carefully vetted/curated ads.

Imagine if you had an ad network that was picky and only allowed ads that were clever/interesting, short, not annoying, and didn't lead to malicious/fake products!

For what it's worth, I think we have a stronger moral responsibility to things that exist than to merely potential people in this regard. There's no reason we need to create new people other than that we want to and people die. I've tried really hard and I can't think of a moral reason we are required to produce new people on any particular schedule. I used to share your position.
So, basically you violently agree? ;-)

This change feels like a bad fumble, even if Starbucks is a great marketing engine.

Under the old program, even that it was kinda dumb, I liked getting the stars and the reward, and it somehow made me feel like a member a my club. This changes seems to bust that.
There are too many impossibilities and errors in this to even consider it as remotely factual.

- ICBMs can't reach the moon, or even anything remotely close to it

- Mushroom clouds don't form in a vacuum.

- The fact that some Air Force officer thought it would be a neat idea (if any of this is factual) does not in any way imply that it was even remotely considered by anyone with the authority to make such a decision, any more than seeing a person who works at the Apple store drinking a coke implies that Apple Inc is buying the entire CocaCola corporation.

YC and hackathons break my ketosis. :(

The downregulation of dopamine is partly my fault, but damn the food is beyond just visually tempting.
The hackathon that they mention in the post (Mhacks) put up an application process and enforced a 50/50 gender ratio. In the weeks leading up to the event, I overheard many defeated conversations from fellow CS students over anxiety of getting rejected from this hackathon because they were male. The females didn't share the same anxiety, but it definitely made them feel down that they wouldn't be able to participate with their male friends who were rejected/waitlisted. Overall, the fact that things ended up this way made everyone feel very awkward, guilty, and discouraged. Hopefully its success makes up for the hidden fractures that will be felt by our student body for quite a while after.

Mhacks lists the 50/50 gender divide on their site followed by the reasoning: "because it’s about time for a little change in the tech world"

Disclosure: I am a CS-Eng student at this university. I did not plan to attend or care about this hackathon.
> The older you get - the less patience you have for tight deadlines and 'forcing yourself to make a choice'.

Me, I past 30 a few years ago and I (often) find it useful to give myself deadlines and force myself to get things done.

Things/words that have helped me:

* Pomodoro technique / time boxing

* Get it working, get it right, get it fast

* Cult of Done

That said, yes, I am also skeptic to the kind of "hackaton culture" that is being mentioned here.
Was at a couple of "internal" hackatons ran by my employer as a part of the offsite all hands meeting.
There was plenty of corporate politics involved with judging, other than that it was time well spent.

The angle was to bring new ideas to the table and build an MVP/POC to demo the idea. Overall was a positive experience other than the politics involved.

The event was voluntary, took place in the hotel with beer in the hotel bar and nice catered lunches.
"However, for information security, this redirect should only happen if the content is published, because it can lead (like we see here) to information disclosure."

The last change they made to their reward system decreased the amount of stars required to receive a free drink from 15 to 12 stars, but the big thing was soy milk and additional syrups were no longer free. This really pissed off non-dairy drinkers and I can understand why since soymilk is an extra $0.60.

But now with this new change it seems like they're catering to the customers that already shell out the money for the $5.00+ drinks (frappuccinos, lattes, etc) in their larger size forms. It's like they're just giving the middle finger to the people who only come for regular coffee and teas.

On top of that, they're making it even more complicated to understand. Like how exactly do they think managing hundreds of stars and calculating stars earned based on the amount of money paid is better in terms of simplicity for the ordinary customer vs. the current (soon to be old) system where 1 purchase = 1 star, 12 stars = free food/drink. It's overly complicating an already simple system. Surely there had to be another way to fix the issue of people wanting their orders split up into individual orders to get more stars while still giving more value (in stars) to larger orders.

I'd say that it's in a large part a question of marketing. SML and Haskell are largely academic languages, even if there is now Haskell running in production at different locations. Likewise, you can hardly accuse OCaml of having the kind of marketing muscle and reach that a company like Mozilla can bring to bear (also, it's pretty old, which makes it difficult to sell as the new shiny).
My experience has been less then ideal with this application (iOS). Often calls do not establish or the call get dropped within a few minutes. WhatsApp (voice) on the other hand as not exhibit any of these symptoms when communicating with the the same parties using the same devices and networks.

Does anyone else experience this? I do wonder if there is an ISP or operator involved in degrading / blocking the service.

Circle-K stores (Irving's gas station convenience chain) used to do a deal where you'd get a free coffee every six or ten.

Most of the time, if you hit them in the morning, the cashier would just punch the whole card when you bought one...

It's terrifying the amount of money you can save when you get in the habit of making your own coffee though. It's not quite on the level of movie popcorn, but it's up there.
At Khan Academy we've been running ours as "Healthy Hackathons" — we kick people out at 11:45pm to get sleep, bring in healthy food, snacks, and activities, and always include our work week as part of the schedule (not just weekends).

We actually just held our Monday-Friday Healthy Hack Week last week (http://healthyhackathon.khanacademy.org). One of my favorite weeks ever, particularly because we encourage "hacks" of all kinds that don't have to include coding, and the entire company dives in.

They've been internal only so far. Maybe some day we'll open it up.

After a week of hackathon'ing intensely I'll walk in tomorrow more energized than ever (and eager to figure out how to use some of the team's work in upcoming projects). The commitment to staying healthy while hacking feels like it's paying off for us.

Plus it demonstrates our commitment to long-term investment in teammates.

Our company seriously pursued using Spine for all of our in game 2D animations in small to medium sized budget projects. Unfortunately the runtime license was far to costly and restrictive to use for work for hire type client work, of which most of our work is. Really wish we could just pay a flat fee rather than cause all sorts of red tape and recurring payments for our clients. Most of the games we produce are for not for profits that can't really justify those kinds of recurring costs. Ultimately, we built our own tool that I'm sure is far more primitive but gets the job done.

That's the dumbest barrier I've heard in a long time to enter a hackathon. Your gender shouldn't prevent you from getting into an event to get work done, it should be based on the merit of what you want to do. Did anyone ask if their rejection would be reconsidered if they chopped their penis off?

But as far as the new rewards system goes, for trying to be a coffee company, especially with the recent drinks like the "flat white" which cater more towards plain coffee drinkers and coffee snobs, they sure gave the middle finger to them with this change.

Absolutely not. The most brilliant of minds made their marks on history at 30 or younger. Science has shown that, over time, learning becomes more difficult and slower. The whole idea of an older person being more "wise" is more of an old wive's tale more than anything else.

Young people and old people alive can have great ideas. Inversely young and old can be great at simply cranking away at building things. The future mixes the young and old more and more making the young younger for longer and the old far more capable than ever before.
