I did not say that inequality increases as wealth increases. I said, it <has> increased and so has wealth. This is a fact. We have seen the largest decline in material poverty in human history along with a massive increase in inequality. As an example, the OECD says that over the last three decades the share of Chinese living in absolute poverty has declined from eight in ten to one in
ten. At the same time, relative poverty (taking inequality into account) has more or less doubled.
Which metric is more important if you're a poor Chinese person?
Seems plausible, although I suppose it depends on what you want to do once you're in space and where you want to go.

If you could get a mass driver system to work very reliably (more reliably than chemical rockets), I could see it being useful to deliver the critical assemblies of RTGs into orbit. Plutonium is pretty resistant to high acceleration. One of the main objections to putting a lot of RTGs in space (or even better, actual nuclear reactors) is what happens during a launch failure. A system that doesn't involve any fuel, and thus won't blow up and scatter the contents around, or require tons of containment, might be useful.

Nuclear reactors have a pretty nice energy-density profile, particularly if what you want is long-duration energy for interplanetary missions.

Still hard to get around the capex problem though.

"The ME code to start the platform is in (on-chip) ROM and a failed
signature check of the (compressed with AFAIK still unknown codebook)
ME code in flash just means that the ME considers the system broken
and allows it to run for a little while so that a human can repair it."

So 1) will the system stay up with the ME software erased, 2) what's the ROM component doing besides managing the boot, and 3) what access does it take to alter the ME's firmware?

Another user recommended uMatrix as a Ghostery replacement in this thread which I was trying out, and it looks like some Ghostery/uBlock interaction was to blame. My best guess is some Ghostery resource is correctly flagged by uBlock and that the delay I experienced was a request timeout or similar, from Ghostery.
Then click on "new" (it's only one click away), and you'll see everything that's submitted. If you change your profile to have "showdead" = "yes", you'll really see everything - even the stuff that's flagged or downvoted to oblivion.

Tags are a solution, though perhaps not a perfect one. But what solution ever is?

Counter-anecdote for you: I've been using the web ever since it was created, and for approximately the first half of that time I was just using regular bookmarks, with a regular bookmark manager, putting bookmarks in a heirarchichal folder structure that I manually created.

Then browsers developed the ability to tag bookmarks. Since then I've switched over to only tagging bookmarks, and no longer put them in to any folders and don't so don't have to manually create a folder heirarchy for them.

What I do is simply think of every possible way to describe a particular bookmark, with trying to think of every possible keyword/phrase way I might want to use search for them in the future. This has served me exceedingly well, and I've been able to find pretty much every bookmark I was interested this way.

This method is still not perfect. The tag-management features of all the bookmark managers I'm aware of are pretty primitive. It would be nice, for example, for these bookmark managers to automatically show show tag clouds or let you browse tags along with their respective bookmarks. This is technically possible, but afaik hasn't been done yet.

Despite this, tags can work, and work really well. It would really suck to have to search through thousands of bookmarks without tags or any kind of heirarchy. That's effectively how HN is: very poor structure. They could do a lot better, and I haven't heard of any suggestions to improve the situation that are anywhere as good as tags.
Pointing your rail gun up is best for getting out of the atmosphere ASAP, but how do you build a gun that goes, say, 20 km high into the air?

It's physically possible for us to build a 100km tall tower with current technology. (Columns formed from many highly pressurized tanks made from boron.) It's not really economically feasible, however.

Make the bottom of the launcher a tube connected to some really deep part of the ocean and use massive floats to help support the weight of the structure then you have less structure to support in open air. You load the pods from sea level, then drop them down the rail-mortar and let computers and robotics handle the rest

I mostly use NetBeans (version 6.9 because Python - and love it) or vim. I always wanted to try IntelliJ out but never got around to it, so I was fairly disappointed when I started using Android Studio for a mobile app. Granted, it is light years ahead of Eclipse, but that's a very low bar to clear... I loved the search preview (fast and clear), but everything else seems much better in NetBeans. It's also quite slow on moments, but that could be because of Google additions.

The current visa program benefits very few other than large spaghetti farm factories like Tata/Infosys etc. It means the truly smart people have to compete with these large code farms which hire fairly mediocre talent and replaces American labor at the same time. Do away with the H1B lottery and replace it with a real visa program that takes into account the truly value people bring to this country. There are some very smart people from other countries that I would love to work with, but they are denied the ability to work here because of vested corporate interests in importing cheaper labor, not smarter labor.

Actually, they are also attractive to employers because under the current rules, they can offer H1-B workers lower than the prevailing wage so they save money that way as well.

IINM I think the limitation is in the ability to read such small signal changes. Considering all the noise (especially with topical sensors) and dealing with microvolts, it can be trivial to distinguish an eye blink where you're suddenly contracting muscles close to the brain. As opposed to distinguishing the thought pattern between thinking about a "dog" vs a "cat"
How can this expand what it means to be human? How could it shape society?

"Typing with the brain" can not only be very useful, but potentially life-transforming for those with mobility impairments -- e.g. quadriplegics, and those fully or partially paralyzed for other reasons.
I wonder how well such a tower would withstand the forces involved in also launching projectiles at escape velocity.

This is exactly the problem that SpaceX (And Blue Origin eventually) are trying to solve with re-usability. Think of a SpaceX launch, the "big" part of the rocket is thrown away just minutes into the flight, once it's fuel is expended. There's really no way to shortcut that, you couldn't refuel that part in-flight. Refueling that part after it lands again is much less expensive than building a new one entirely.

Meanwhile the payload on the top is now "in orbit" but operating in a vastly different environment than the larger component, with different engineering constraints, quite likely using different types of fuel.

If you could couple the initial launch vehicle being "cheap and easy" with another system for moving around to different orbits or getting into even higher orbits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyhook_%28structure%29 or a "space tug" type orbital vehicle) now you have access to high-orbit/cislunar space, and you can start assembling your larger inter-planetary vehicles or space stations there. (Perhaps using a mass driver to move heavy but necessary things like water and other raw materials to the site at this point, but that greatly depends on what the cost-per-pound of launch can get down to, and what resources you can scrape up out of the solar system)

On that note, he mentioned manually opening the Dell XPS 13 in order to switch out the wifi card. This suggests that he got a regular version versus a Developer Edition, since the latter should have an Intel card built-in.

(Additionally, I'm glad he didn't have any problems switching out the hardware. I did the same thing to my own Dell XPS 13 and ran into repeated problems first getting the metal case off, and then getting it back on. First few times, I had random airgaps near the palm-rest assembly. 3 or 4 attempts later I finally got the gaps to go away, although even now I can still hear an occasional clicking noise if I press on the back near the vents. I'm guessing one of the back clips did not completely catch. But I'm terrified of taking it off again, so I'll live with it.)
Ask HN: Best native postgres client for Mac
I'm pretty happy with metabase (https://github.com/metabase/metabase) for sharing SQL queries across my team, but their SQL IDE leaves something to be desired.

What's the best native postgres client for Mac for writing SQL queries?

* Native keybindings / feel

* "Smart" autocomplete (knows what columns are in scope)

* Easy to use for non-engineers (so should be GUI)

Don't care:

* DBA tools

* GUI query builder
Any hash function provably collides for at least two inputs, unless we're talking about perfect hashing. The only exception would be a hash function that does not compress, where the output is larger than the input. That's not a hash-function, though.

> you just lose the will never collide guarantee

There is no such guarantee, in fact, the opposite is guaranteed.

It's just very unlikely that you get a collision - that's a desirable property of any hash function -, and it should be hard to create a collision because the function is hard to reverse - that's a desirable property of any cryptographic hash function, as the OP laid out.
Thanks! I really enjoyed working with you guys!

It definitely wasn't solved by the well publicized abuses of Maryland law enforcement, using their records to "check out" owners of the sort of rifle used. Seeing as the two snipers were from out of state and had bought the rifle Washington State.

And even then, with millions of them in civilian hands, they've been sold to us since the '60s, we're talking needle in a haystack. In general, the search for the perpetrators totally screwed up, right down to when the police finally got the correct car and license plate, they refused to release this to the public, it got out by other means and that directly led to their capture.

Structuring meta tags for maximum visibility
The strong coupling between repos and CI jobs is a huge obstacle— for a multi-repo codebase, you need to have triggers that are outside of "a new commit has been pushed".

The reporting is a big problem too— Jenkins has plugins which format and report on JUnit-style reports, including displaying images or other assets generated by tests.

Configuration. The config needing to be committed to the repo is an issue. For many use cases including ours, it's way better to have the CI configuration stored centrally somewhere, and deployed using Jenkins Job Builder (or the various other similar tools which exist for Jenkins).

Executor control. Jenkins lets you do things like put N slots on a buildslave and then have a job occupy M of them, as well as controlling what jobs can run where, and what the priority of different jobs is. This is critical for ensuring overall sanity and efficiency in the pipeline.

Jenkins isn't perfect, but it happens to be a better fit for our needs, and these four factors are all a big part of that.
Okay, it's all coming back to me now. I remember in one physics class we talked about magnetic grains. So this is the same thing.

I can imagine how hard it must be for you. Most of us have these stories.

But sir, If you have been out of India for ~15 years now, you are now totally out of touch about ground realities in India. Also it takes far more to get decent health care and housing in US than it takes in India. Apart from this you have the added advantage of a social circle in India in case of death, disease and debt which is totally absent in US.

In most US coastal cities(Only places where can make a decent career) rents are high, and affording a home is basically 2-3 decade venture. And after all that you still have to struggle for your retirement fund and health care during old age.

India has a lot of vacuum as a developing economy for both investments and a long term career.

Also this whole corruption issue is sometimes overplayed. The last time I dealt with a government office for anything was passport office where no bribes were paid, not even to the police who came for verification.

Political, economic and social climate in India is undergoing huge upgrades every decade and anybody who stays abroad for 10+ years essentially would have lost all context about things back home.
