This is absolutely not the case, angle of attack is not zero, but moreover most of the orbital insertion is exo-atmospheric and you can burn in whatever attitude you want. The factor determining the accuracy of the apogee of your orbit is how accurately you can shut the engine off at the right moment and control your velocity.
> How does that work? What assets are they benefiting from more than others?

Um you're confusing equal access with equal benefit...

> you get to ride the same crappy trains as everyone else, drive the same crappy roads (unless you try go everywhere by helicopter - hardly practical), get the same government services, have access to the same markets and the same products in those markets

Yea, except by being the super rich, you're benefiting far more from all those same crappy assets. Think about a rich person in retail.... their millions/billions depend on the existence of all those crappy roads to bring them customers and products to sell them. When said roads disappear, you both lose access to them, but the rich person loses far more as his access to customers also depends on those roads.

Equal access and equal benefit are vastly different things. The rich benefit more from infrastructure than the poor because their businesses are built upon and depend upon them.
You wouldn't happen to have a breakdown of the $412M spent by the Koch brothers would you? Like who, what, where, how much. Because that number includes $5M spent by the Koch brothers PAC and $407M spent by undisclosed campaign entities. Even of the $5M spent by the Koch brothers PAC, not all of that is necessarily Koch brothers' money. As such, using the $412M figure is rather disingenuous at best.
You forgot "double-you double-you double-you"!
haha... self timed domino .. published like 10-15 years ago already.

this won't work for many reasons that everyone in the industry already knows. High fan-out back to many gates that are spatially distant means that you need not only complex routing, but also complex sizing of the feedback inverter. So.. this won't even fit in with automatic place and route of complex cells. And good luck doing this custom in an efficient way such as making it a semi standard cell library.

Furthermore, the feedback inverter only works in simple cases such as the cascaded gates you show, when the switching of the one gate depends only on one fan-out. If it depends on more than one fan-out, the feedback inverter essentially requires another logic gate in front of it, which simply just blew up your entire circuit size and any power savings you were attempting.

A lot of us here are software engineers, right? Why should a mechanical engineer's work product be protectable, while a software engineer's work product not? Aren't both the result of creativity and labor?
It's not first class support but it goes a long to patch potholes in a bumpy road to installing extensions from source. Motivated but unkowledgeable users are much more likely to succeed with this info while the benefit between just a blog post and having it built in to OS may be negligible (while the technical investment of building the compiler into the OS could be significant).

By the way MS provides free official VMs for testing IE but work just fine for building wheels.

It needs to be stopped not because it's a different party, but because of who is donating the money. In the Obama campaign his fundraising records were set by small, individual donors. The GOP on the other hand is using a few mega donors (along with candidates like Clinton). This kind of unlimited funding from a couple hundred people is what should scare every democracy-loving person.

Edit: I write this as a nominal Clinton supporter here, so I really feel my opinion is unbiassd here.
I'll concede that the goal of the asker ( a_small_island) is not crystal clear but I think you should re-read what's being asked.

I doubt it's "I wish someone could tell me how to search for things on HN" more likely it's "Why did HN do it this way? Wouldn't it have been better this other way? Or perhaps is there nothing at all to be gained?" IOW the goal is to understand the motivation behind the different approaches between reddit and HN.
My main problem is it's difficult and time consuming to get back on top of things if you have a string of badly timed emergencies that leave you unable to pay for awhile. That can leave you in a place where you have to let one bill slip to catch up on another, and then next month let the other bill slip to catch up on two others, and then the next month let something slip and...oh crap, another emergency, now you've slipped a little further down the hole!... and its just a vicious cycle.

Even if you start making good money again it can take a long time to right that boat. And the whole time your credit score is swirling the drain, making it even more difficult to get the funds you need to balance everything or weather future emergencies, and you're too afraid to move, because you don't know how you'll pass the credit check, even though you haven't ever missed a rent payment (it's the highest priority bill).

I really wish there was a little more flexibility in payments. Even just a "you can miss a payment if you double pay to catch up next month without us reporting it" would have helped quite a bit.

I also think there needs to be a more universal, centralized place where you can set up online bill pay without it automatically paying (I tell it to pay a particular company a particular amount). I've been locked out of being able to pay my bill on their online sites and it's a nightmare calling or jumping through the hoops to get your account unlocked to be able to pay online again.
You're sort of right, insofar as a CMS doesn't enforce a blog's reverse-chronological sorting... but that's not quite what I meant; a CMS is still fundamentally about having a collection of things by the same editorial staff put together—e.g. on the same domain.

What I was picturing is to throw out the level where you could infer "same editorial staff", so instead you just get the shared hosting service (http://example.com/) and then directly under that, articles (http://example.com/foo). Like a pastebin: there's no source attribution to a given post, even implicitly.

The lack of internal attribution is important, because any internal attribution mechanism—e.g. mentioning the author in a <meta> tag, or putting their name in the URL—can be used to build an index of posts by author (just googling "site:http://example.com/author" gets you half-way there), which people might then treat as canonical instead of relying on the microblog.

So, I'm not against self-hosting a CMS, but my requirement that articles have no article-internal attribution—not even implicitly based on where they're hosted—means that self-hosting is kind of moot, unless I know a bunch of other people I can invite to also post on my self-hosted CMS until it turns into its own pastebin.

(Also, I have other, more fanciful requirements, like the ability of articles to effectively have their own embedded code and databases, turning them into their own little one-page web-app, like NYT's fancier long-form data-science articles are. CMSes don't really go there; they expect code you want to use in an article to be added to the site as a plugin, rather than being treated as part of an article and thus isolated+not-run when on any other article, deleted when the article is deleted, etc. The only thing that could pull this off right now is hosting each article as its own Heroku app; and even then it's not a perfect fit. You could theoretically write a blogging engine that posted articles by creating Heroku apps, though... hmmmm, now there's an idea.)

I don't understand the primary use cases. I'm a train station, serving movies to travelers? I don't understand where your product comes in -- travelers can already get movies on the internet. I get that it doesn't use my mobile bandwidth, but I'm not usually very worried about that and that concern is decreasing very rapidly over time.

I'm a coffee chain who wants to entertain customers with videos? I've never heard of a coffee chain who wants this, but maybe I don't understand fully. Explain how your product creates value.
Well, you are saying it's not that bad yourself! Scheiße Mann.

The EU takes bigger mandates than it should. I'd wish for it to keep the peace and let people trade and travel freely, but why should it decide more?

When Berlusconi (the Donald Trump of Italy) was in power a good argument used to be "why would I want the Italians to decide who is in my parliament, if they vote someone like that into their own?"

The Data Retention Directive (Datalagringsdirektivet in my language, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive) is a shit law that invades my privacy. My government (the Swedish) has been paying high fines for years because they didn't implement it. It was deemed illegal in 2014.

Having to pay the VAT (Mehrwertsteuer) at the rate of the country where the customer is located, having to include the stupid cookie notice. I mean, the list goes on with just countless stupid things that Brüssels bureaucrats feel the need to enforce upon all of us.

The free trade in EU is great for trade, but for online business they are causing more pain than good.
> If the same standards were applied to these people as are applied to the non-rich we'd agree that their university transcripts are proof that they understand the field and that their relationship with the people they recommended these investments to was "customer like" enough to show conflict of interest and misrepresentation.

Customer relationships aren't fiduciary relationships outside of finance either. How much utter crap do software companies knowingly sell to customers with zero liability? If selling crap as gold opened software companies up to liability, Microsoft wouldn't have survived the 1990's.

That's a pretty aggressive tone on your part but I will try to respond.

You may be right about Sen. McCain but can you say the same about Palin? Further while I am happy to learn that he worked with Sen. Warren on trying to bring back Glass-Steagall, his eagerness to involve America in foreign wars is repulsive to some [3]. Nonetheless he is a class act and an American hero - in my opinion, people became afraid of his candidacy when Palin joined the ticket.

Romney campaigned in 2012 on a promise to repeal ObamaCare, which was based on Massachusetts' RomneyCare [1]. He made the "47%" comment. He is also known to have said "corporations are people too, my friend." [2] It is unclear to me that he is as good for the middle class as he is for corporations, compared to President Obama.

I maintain that McCain/Palin in 2008 and/or Romney/Ryan in 2012 would not have been as good for the US as the current administration. That remains my pragmatic opinion.

This isn't really about news, but in a world where the cost of maintaining a bureau everywhere is something that has to be considered, it could be used for on-demand assignments to users who want to be a stringer for any news outlet. The DPA http://www.dpa.com/ are keen to use this app once we scale because it lets THEM contact people close to wherever the news is.
PrinceXML is excellent, we used it for many years for typesetting programs for conferences, etc. After a while, though, I picked up enough LaTeX to be competent at generating LaTeX from our applications (just as we would generate HTML or any other markup) and that's what I use for report generation now. While there are more templates to maintain, the quality of the results is absolutely worth the effort.

On a tangent, a very nice "win" with the (pdf)LaTeX approach is that it's fairly easy to collate other PDF documents into a larger one, with a custom table of contents, consistent running headers and footers, index of authors, etc., and intersperse them with other content from our database. (This was done by splitting the child documents into pages with pdftk, then inserting them as "PDF graphics" into the generated LaTeX document -- and as long as the original PDFs were searchable, they remained searchable in the final output.) In one of our paper-intensive processes (a proposal approval workflow), this approach cut down tremendously on manual labour that was being done to prepare proposal dossiers, and the resulting collation was much easier for the reviewers to work with (e.g., everyone could turn to page "K-34" in the dossier, and be certain they were looking at the same page of the same document).
Did some digging. The amount that relates to the fine (criminal or civil) is not deductible. Settlement amounts that relate to relief may be deductible. It depends on how the various sums are described in the settlement. According to the Bloomberg article $2.39b of the $5.1b is a fine. So that piece is almost certainly, not deductible. The rest might be, but it depends on how the settlement is worded. Assuming the $2.39b is the only amount that is not deductible, that means Goldman Sachs will be able to offset about $1b in future tax liability.

Below is an article about BP. They had to pay about $20b in total, with about $5.5b being considered a fine. That $5.5b was not deductible.

>It's also why I don't understand all the whining (here and elsewhere) about requiring the Post Office to actually fund its pensions rather than just assume Uncle Sam will have infinite funds to cover it later

Some people believe the post office is required to pay quite a bit more into those pension funds than is necessary for their financial well being. Nobody in that discussion claimed or assumed the government has infinite funds to cover the post office's obligations.

It's as if you were having a discussion with yourself that happened to occupy the same space as another, ongoing discussion on the same topic. Hence the way some tried to engage with you (unsuccessfully) and some just downvoted you.

I've never heard of openbazaar so you'll have to explain that part to me in your pitch. This pitch would probably make sense if I was a storeowner who wanted to use openbazaar but didn't know how or it was too complicated. But your whole business depends on people having heard of this thing that I haven't heard of. Can you explain to the storeowner why they would want to be on openbazaar?

PS: I find it kind of an oxymoron that the article under discussion criticizes Solr for using Zookeeper in one paragraph; "ZooKeeper is super mature, super widely used, etc. etc., but it’s still another moving part.", then on the next paragraphs it cites that one of the most dreadful thing about ES is the lack of a proven master election algorithm; "While Elasticsearch has built-in ZooKeeper-like component called Xen, ZooKeeper is better at preventing the dreaded split-brain problem sometimes seen in Elasticsearch clusters."

Um, there's nothing remotely evil about that trade and trying to paint Soros as a bad guy in the same vein as the Koch's is rather disgusting; they aren't in the same league. Soros was doing something good there, he stopped the bank of England from manipulating their currency and forced them to accept the markets opinion of the value of it. The Koch's are literal villans, Soros is not.

The singularity has come in the sense that technological progress has been accelerating and the rate of legal adaptation to it is constant. The rate of technological change outpaced legal change 20-30 years ago and now the difference is really starting to hurt.

This problem will only get worse. Can we build new laws that handle the ever growing expanse between the capacity of technology and the legal system and cultural expectations?

From my limited experience, they want devs. The initial phone screen is all sysadminy questions (e.g. what commands show you i/o usage?). The second screen is a coding interview. I'm a sysadmin who works in bash every day. The coding questions are mostly related to log parsing. My code interviewer didn't seem to even acknowledge that bash was a programming language and did not understand a simple grep and sort pipeline.

It sounds to me like you're building a brand in an existing competitive market where your competitors already have strong brands and strong channel to market. You're going to find it difficult to get shelf space.

Also: there's nothing to stop your competitors from stealing your recipe if you show any success at all. I think consumers will be turned off by the subscription model... you're better off selling it by the bottle on amazon.

Do you have data showing that customers want something different than what is on the shelf right now?

Do you have a formulation worked out already?

I suspect this to be true. Not in the sense that, from my experience, people see a comedian (pro or not) as somehow "lesser", but that some people only seem to joke. It becomes tiresome. I have a colleague like this. Interaction with him is a series of music references or jokes and poor accent imitations. Carrying on a serious conversation, as has happened sometimes, is great until he starts cutting up again.

One of the problems with being told "you're so ____" is that people often start trying to emphasize ____. You've already got that, now work on the rest of yourself. Autoflanderization should be avoided.
Yeah I've used those VMs and it's nice but they're only valid for 90 days and IMHO the licensing is kind of murky (it says they're only for testing IE). You also don't have a choice of 32bit vs. 64bit VM (I've noticed the win 7 VM is 32 bit, the win 10 VM is 64 bit for example). There really should just be 100% free for any use VMs that never expire for library maintainers to use.
