Are either of you familar with kodi or remote access /streaming via ssh ? If so one simple option would be to setup a ssh tunnel thru to a music store on your network and have him connect to it via key (preferred) or passphrase ( less preferred for security but doable). that way you would be able to update and / or curate playlists and or even allow him to remotely access a pandora /spotify account form your network / IP and not be technically voilating ToS.
Nuclear reactors are incredibly massive though, especially with all of the required shielding. We've never launched anything even as close to as massive as a space-borne nuclear reactor would be. I agree with you that it won't be practical anytime soon (or at least not politically), so as long as we're positing some future level of tech, why not nuclear fusion?

Reminds me a bit of one of the points of the book Death's End (third part of the Three Body Problem trilogy by Cixin Liu).

A small spoiler follows.

The point raised in this book is - the Earth looks much different thanks to life it has than it would without it. Consider e.g. mountains that erode slower because there are forests and foliage that disperse the wind. Would it not be the case that advanced alien life existing in the universe also affects its evolution? So what if some of the physics we study is actually not how the universe looked at the start? Could the speed of light have changed because of aliens weaponizing physics in past wars? Could the curled up dimensions string theory postulates be actually be another consequence of powerful entities doing wide-scale manipulation of the universe? Maybe initially, before life, the universe actually had 11 full, expanded spatial dimensions?

I do highly recommend the book.
Oh nonono. Aspen trees are not going to fill that niche.

These are all valid and factual observations, so I have no idea why you're being downvoted.

When Waze alerts me about roadkill I'm usually annoyed, because I only want to be alerted about actual obstructions in the road, but that's because it's trivial to veer within my lane to avoid a small critter.

There are many possible solutions to make people slow down (enforcement, speed limiters) but intentionally decreasing safety should not be one of them.
> Style is concerned with the appearance of the code, and is largely subjective. Many languages, like Common Lisp and Java, have got this nailed: the same style is used everywhere. In the C world, there are endless arguments about levels of indentation, the position of braces, etc.

I'm struggling with where to first disagree with this. Some style guides deal only with code appearance, but they can also include things like preferred iteration mechanisms, maximum function lengths or even cyclomatic complexity.

Comon Lisp doesn't even remotely have standardized style; ask a dozen CL programmers how they would perform an operation on each element of a list and you'll get answers including: MAPCAR, MAP, DOLIST, LOOP, ITERATE.

It does have a standard for indentation, which is roughly "however emacs would indent your code" but that breaks down when DSLs get involved (see how different people indent LOOP for an example).

[edit]

One simple example of a style guide entry that is not primarily concerned with the appearance of code. There are dozens more in that one style guide:

Because while AI driving will no doubt be popular over the next 50 years, its not right now and won't be ubiquitous for another 20 or so.
I think narrowing lanes/roadways to slow down drivers is probably one of the least annoying ways to do it, while remaining effective.

Posting low limits isn't very effective without enforcement which is annoying. Speed bumps can be effective but are annoying. Poor road conditions or shifting lanes are effective but annoying, but effectiveness depends on traffic: When there's no traffic, I may straddle lanes if they're going back and forth all the time.

As a driver it's also annoying to be driving on a road where the safe speed is much lower than the apparent safe speed, because I have to keep slowing down. I don't really intend to go 40 mph on streets with houses, but when they have wide, well paved lanes, sometimes it happens.
Well, it's "generally" true: go look through threads on this stuff; what you always see are people who get extremely upset about having received e-mail, and it isn't actual spam by the legal definition: Amazon sending me random "junk" because I bought something from them is not spam, as I have a prior business relationship with them and I probably left some box checked and started getting their e-mails... yet these people don't think "ok, I guess I don't want that and I'll stop Amazon sending it", nor do they even think "ok, that's what kill files are for: I'll just make it so e-mails like this one get filtered by my e-mail infrastructure"... instead, you see rants about "how dare someone send me e-mail" and then they abuse the shared resource of a spam filter by marking it as spam :/. I sign up for these things. I actually like receiving e-mail marketing updates from some companies, and I essentially never dislike it: but the anti-spam blok are ruining shared spam filters by marking stuff that isn't spam as spam. And this is yet another great example: the tool Hustle is extremely close to the thing that Student Activist Network wanted--they have a ton of different tags that people use to specify interests and then do delivery decisions based on filters--and it doesn't deserve the top post being "how dare someone send me a text message": if nothing else, it scares people off of building stuff like this for fear of retribution from people like that poster, and that's bad for people who are sufficiently organized as to not freak out if someone dares to send them stuff.
In 50 years, when autonomous vehicles have become a reality, all the 4x 12' lane roads can be converted to 6x 8' lane roads. Everyone wins!

Yes, but it's not on Medium - - the hottest blog reinvention that everyone have to publish their ramblings.
Cixin Liu's Three Body Problem trilogy explores this problem pretty strongly in the last book (Death's End), and also foreshadows it a bit in the first two. I recently binge-read them all and I give a very high recommendation for them. Calling the guy "China's Clarke" may not be a stretch.

The Homebrew package manager for Linux
This is good news for GCS but they will need to compete on more than price if they want to gain market share.

Saving 500$ / month is minuscule compared to the time it will cost engineers to migrate from AWS to GCS and get used to the new service.
Which is not a legitimate thing--and I will argue is actually an incredibly harmful thing--to have bubbled to the top of a thread about a tool like Hustle: I bet it is an extremely minority use for someone to try to use a tool like this to just randomly send messages to ranges of phone numbers.
I had a somewhat similar idea (which never materialized) where the sender would print QR codes (or something else) on a long paper roll (like those used for receipts in stores), which would then be scanned on the other end. The idea was about being about to visualize things like a ping or a TCP session progressing between computers.

If anyone wants to steal the idea, please go for it! And send me a link to the video when you're done. :)

Ok here goes.

A heap is more than three.

You can't have a heap if the objects aren't stacked, and stacking nonrectangular objects generally requires 4 if you want it to be a stable heap. 3 as the base, 1 on top.

>"Also research animals die all the time in great numbers, if it's a research laboratory then they'll probably die or be put to death way before they'll develop AIDS"

Yes, yet (relatively) soon after human AIDs is discovered people start noticing an increase in macaque deaths in their labs. This was later attributed to a similar cause. I think that is an important aspect of the timeline to keep in mind, that is all on that point. The rest hinges on other evidence which we are discussing in parallel here.
Anything keeps accelerating with only constant power input. That's literally how all rockets in a vacuum work. Nothing special with an emdrive there. It doesn't mean that perpetual motion is possible, it just means that you're wrong about the ramifications of kinetic energy vis a vis power generation.

It's worse than that. The relevant speed is (I think) the speed of surface waves, and surface waves in water are really quite complicated.

Also, pilot waves get interesting when more than one particle is involved. Two dancing droples do not act like two noninteracting quantum particles.

The "defunct" term is an exaggeration allowed due to the fact that the blog audience is composed of "creative" people with focus on fiction and poetry, as you can see from the referenced "Code Poems" work by Hannah Weiner; the author provided an introduction and a not-so-unrealistic status of their use (it isn't a defunct language because you are requested to know them in order to get a boating license; source: I got mine early this year).

I think that @prismatic posted it here on HN because there are people who doesn't know them and are likely to be interested (other than being bewitched by the use proposed by Mrs Weiner).

I think there's two separate things to consider.

On one level there's the immediate individual occurence of harassment where I agree law enforcement should step in where applicable, instead of putting that responsibility on the platform owner (though it doesn't seem like law enforcement is typically equipped or motivated to do so, dedicated analytics seem like a good step towards addressing that). But I don't think that needs to preclude the platform taking action as well, simply to improve their product for the vast, vast majority of users who don't get off on harassing marginalized people.

The other level is the macro scale effect of being the platform that's cool with white supremacists chasing other people away. Independent of your motivations for having a hands-off approach to moderation, you're gonna be emboldening them, making them feel welcome and comfortable and consequently growing a toxic user base. In turn, people who are particularly subjected or vulnerable to that sort of harassment will act in their self-interest and get the fuck out. "No moderation" isn't a neutral option, and law enforcement isn't going to take care of community management for you, so I think this is a strong argument for the responsibility of the platform to step in.

I'm not sure if the royal mail comparison is really applicable. I guess you can frame every platform as some sort of public utility, but I think that analogy works better for lower-level sorta things like OS developers or CDNs. In particular I think the argument doesn't do justice to the role of twitter as a social space. Maybe a better comparison would be whether you'd expect a bar to continue to provide service to patrons with a history of starting fights with other customers? You'd also expect law enforcement to arrest people for assault, but I think it'd be reasonable that they wouldn't be let back in after trashing the place anyway.
>"The molecular clock isn't dependant only on the isolation estimate"

Sure, not only, but according to your source it is dependent on the assumption the island was "isolated" for 10k years. We would have to look at the model to tell what effects relaxing this assumption and definition may have.
From your post it sounds like you should short TSLA since you seem to have some sort of pent up pessimistic anger against them.
Yes, of course. I never wanted to attack the paper in any way, I am just trying to say that this positive result will almost certainly turn out to be wrong and one should not draw the wrong conclusion that this is any kind of proof.
Remove either conservation law and work out the equations for an elastic collision, and you'll see a new degree of freedom pop up. In classical mechanics they are logically independent, and since the space is affine, frames of reference don't help you.

Your sketch takes as a premise, something that is actually a consequence of conservation laws: the way quantities change under frame-of-reference changes.

You can get both by looking at the least action principle under frame of reference changes and using Noether's theorem, but that's not what your sketch is about.
They share quite a bit of code.
Yes. For what it's worth, I totally agree with your viewpoint here, and you're absolutely correct about the nature of "white people" as a construct. (It's sort of interesting to see how Jewish people have been very aggressively folded into "white people" over the last half-century, just as Irish people were; in this case it's so that white nationalists can survive in a world that is particularly on edge about anti-Semitism. Bannon and Breitbart are doing an amazing job of that.)

I just think that even if you go past charitable into gullible, it's still quite literally advertising its white-nationalist sympathies. Even if you believe it's totally okay to be white nationalist and that isn't a racist stance, which I find ludicrous but apparently there are people who believe that, the "alt right" is still white nationalist.

Any recommendations?
Yeah. As someone who lives on navigable river, it's not uncommon for me to see boats flying signal flags for variety of reasons. There's not a wide range of usage here mind you - it's typically tugs and workboats flying the RY signal (you should proceed at slow speed when passing me), survey vessels flying IR (I am engaged in submarine survey work) or cruise ships flying the H signal (I have a pilot on board).

Naval vessels are kind of an interesting case though. They also fly the H flag when they have a pilot on board, but when they do so it's in combination with the answering pennant at the top of the hoist. I believe this is a standard practice when communicating with merchant marine vessels to indicate that the signal is based on the ICS rules and not the naval signal book which can mean something completely different. Naval vessels also often display their call sign using these signal flags when arriving and departing from port.

> White nationalism is an ideology that advocates a racial definition of national identity.[1] Proponents of the ideology identify with and are attached to the concept of a white nation.[2] It ranges from a preference for one's specific white ethnic group, to feelings of superiority, including calls for national citizenship to be reserved for white people.[3]

Rightscorp Only Has Enough Cash to Last Until December
It's funny I actually had the idea of doing this exact project yesterday, although I would probably have never gotten around to it.

Rather than just being a fun little project, I could see there being a few practical uses for this: If you could modify the protocol so that the 'QR code' could dynamicly resize down to be in the worst case 1 pixel for the whole screen, you could potentially do line of sight communication using just laptops between tens of kilometers away[1]. There aren't a lot of situations where you'd need that, but I could see scientists on a remote research mission finding in handy to be able to just pull out their laptops and send messages between mountain tops by just double-clicking some kind of application.

A crappy webcam that could do 10 frames per second that was looking for an entire monitor in the on/off state could send O(10) bits per second which would be useful enough to send small text messages. If you used a telescope, you could actually send real amounts of data.

Edit: Upon close inspection of the article I linked, it says later in the article that you could only see the flame 2.76 km away, but I don't think that changes my point very much since a laptop screen would be brighter.
Yes, because we haven't already exhausted the "separate but equal" argument, so let's rehash it under President Trump.

That's actually one of the most basic principles of traffic design.

Roads built in the Netherlands and Germany are designed so that you absolutely can't drive safely at speeds higher than the supposed speeds - it feels unsafe, and you just don't.

For example, in areas before schools, you usually limit the road to one lane, and switch which side that is every 50 meters, requiring cars to drive slalom, which in turn requires cars to slow down (or crash into concrete).

You don't make it actually unsafe (there's enough space that it won't ever cause any fatal accident), it just has to feel unsafe.

EDIT: More examples:

Another example are the emergency lanes and outer lane markings on the Autobahn: they are a lot louder to drive on intentionally, so if you accidentally steer onto them, you'll hear a very loud noise, and your car will vibrate just slightly - if you fell asleep and steered onto them, you'll instantly wake up again. Another example would be speed bumps.
There's no "we" about it. Broadly, there are people who like having social control, people who like feeling that others are under control, and people who don't like control.
In response to Reserve pricing is bs..

We are moving to aws before the end of the year and it will be a 50% price cut from the dedicated providers we have been using. Our dedicated servers are just about out of space and their bs cloud environment is about 350$ for what you get for 70-80$ on linode. When we need 10-50 processing servers quickly cloned up we go to linode do our work and try to sling the data back ...it's all too annoying now. We're moving to aws, reserving some instances for our client front ends and and booting up what we have to when we need it for mapreduce jobs. For us reserve pricing isn't so bs.
Evolution is routinely proven in laboratories around the world as scientists perform experiments on microbial resistance, insect behaviour, and numerous other experiments involving species with very short lives.

These short lived living things, routinely "evolve" in predictable and unpredictable ways, in front of the researchers proverbial eyes.

Evolution has been proven to be much more than a "hypothesis".
This paper might seem short, but it's a great introduction to various scheduler types available for Hadoop clusters. Fair Scheduler & Capacity Scheduler are the only ones I've witnessed in production use, but I see a huge potential for improvement in the longer term by using some of the adaptive types.

It's amazing how many enterprise customers encounter severe issues with their clusters simply because of poor scheduler configuration. Either they never changed the defaults, or they arbitrarily twisted knobs without understanding the how various configuration values are dependent on each other.

Finding a healthy balance between having humans describe what they think they want and letting the system adjust itself will be huge.
Excuse my almost complete lack of knowledge of physics but when you say it is possible to create matter from energy but you must separate the particle/antiparticle pair is this not similar to what happened after the big bang and did that not result in an asymmetry of particle/antiparticles, at least as far as we can tell? Could it be that there is some other way to either separate the particle pairs or create particles sans antiparticles that does not require a complicated apparatus? Perhaps the EmDrive somehow approximates the conditions of the early universe in some miniscule manner.

Honestly, I'm clutching at straws but I can't believe that the only way to create matter from energy is with some complicated device since the existence of the universe seems to say otherwise. As an example, compare our attempts at creating fusion with the 'solutions' that nature has come up with.
