The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour was a strategic preëmptive strike, because they knew the US would come after their empire at some point.

I don't think Japanese imperialism can really be defended.

Of course, Japanese imperialism was very much inspired by European imperialism in… well, everything. But that doesn't make it right either, merely just as bad.

In 2008, his book "The Four Hour Workweek" helped me change absolutely everything in my life, and really to start living at all.

Even if most of its contents could be found elsewhere, the book is something of value that didn't exist before.

I've since moved on from where that book is coming from (as has he, from the sounds of things), but I still listen to the audio from time to time for inspiration and to reconnect with my 2008-self.

Depends on who's trying to get your passwords.

Hackers from an enemy state, rival company, or government agency? Yea, they'll probably hack your password manager.

Co-worker, ex-girlfriend, etc? They'll break in your house, office, or desk.
Unfortunately I feel like that's probably what will happen as well.

Though waiting for number 2 might give you frustration in the mean time. There's more to a tool than whether or not it breaks. When that steel bolt has cold welded itself to the aluminum engine head, you're going to want the most precision-machined socket you can find. Because if you bugger it up, your day is about to get a lot worse while you ponder whether you can burn the bolt out with an acetelyne torch before you melt the aluminum. Granted, I don't run into that a lot now that I no longer turn wrenches for a living.

That said, I've got a lot of HF in my toolbox and can't say I've been unhappy with them. When I'm 100 miles from nowhere and my motorcycle breaks, it'll be HF sockets and Torx bits that get me back on the road.
Student accidentally invents phone battery capable of 200k recharges
Major General Smedley Butler, in 1935:

"At each session of Congress the question of further naval appropriations comes up. The swivel-chair admirals of Washington (and there are always a lot of them) are very adroit lobbyists. And they are smart. They don't shout that "We need a lot of battleships to war on this nation or that nation." Oh no. First of all, they let it be known that America is menaced by a great naval power. Almost any day, these admirals will tell you, the great fleet of this supposed enemy will strike suddenly and annihilate 125,000,000 people. Just like that. Then they begin to cry for a larger navy. For what? To fight the enemy? Oh my, no. Oh, no. For defense purposes only.

Then, incidentally, they announce maneuvers in the Pacific. For defense. Uh, huh.

The Pacific is a great big ocean. We have a tremendous coastline on the Pacific. Will the maneuvers be off the coast, two or three hundred miles? Oh, no. The maneuvers will be two thousand, yes, perhaps even thirty-five hundred miles, off the coast.

The Japanese, a proud people, of course will be pleased beyond expression to see the united States fleet so close to Nippon's shores. Even as pleased as would be the residents of California were they to dimly discern through the morning mist, the Japanese fleet playing at war games off Los Angeles. "

Urine in Portland reservoir: How dangerous is pee in drinking water?

If I remember correctly he was structuring a derivative contract based on life expectancy/actual life time. The goal was to hedge risks between health insurers and life insurance policies.

Life insurance policies policies want to offset the risk of a group dying prematurely in the defined time window and health insurance companies want to offset risk a group of people living long but with signifiant health problems.

At the time it didn't go anywhere because some folks dubbed it "Death Derivatives" and he was working on it at the mortgage crisis was unfolding.

You know what is really disturbing? We don't know if such a thing can happen again today. It seems that the new US president got wiser, but what if he was real with his threats to people who believes in a particular religion.

I'm not too immersed in US politics, but how likely is such a move? How are they going to determine them (possible suspicion?) and what kind of reaction will the civil society have?

> Are there any normal desktops/laptops that support it?

From what I've been able to find:

NVidia Pascal has full hardware decoding for VP9, as does the NVidia GM206.

And Intel's (now shipping, but not in consumer hands yet until probably next month, IIRC) Kaby Lake has full hardware decoding support, too.

(A lot more existing GPUs have hybrid support, but that's still got a CPU cost.)
Um, you must also have had a pretty spotty education, because you missed the part where the fuel embargo was to stop the ongoing genocide the Japanese were conducting against China.

Don't act like the world would have been A- ok if we had just been ok selling gas to power genocides.
not offering quick-save is bad game design. a game should be about fun. nowadays it's often more about work (boring grinding gameplay, save-points were you have to play the same passage several times again... oh what great game design - not). with current gen-consoles there is no single technical reason not offer quick-save & load. and for driving games, the quick-playback feature introduced by Codemaster in GRID should nowadays be common, but sadly is not.
It is somewhat interesting that the term 'internment camps' is never used in the original quotes, it is rather 'concentration camps'. (It is possible that the latter term may have been used specifically in reference to the places of internment of the Japanese.)

Japan was "repeatedly slapped in the face" because of their increasing militarization, invasion of China (also Rape of Nanking), alliance with Italy and Germany, desire for control of all of East Asian (the Co-Prosperity Sphere), etc. The US response seems totally reasonable to me.
For me the distinction is what the JS is used for.

What personal property rights?

None of us really own anything, anymore, at least in the most developed countries (that's my only point of reference).

I/e the government can seize even the wealthiest's assets with minimum effort. You don't really own your home, if you're lucky enough to partake in that, because as soon as you fail to pay taxes consistently, they take it. Then again, failure to abide by homeowner's association by-laws can cause your home to be taken away in some circumstances.

Even your car, your bed, your tv... you "own" it until you have no place to put it; then it's just trash or free-stuff for those who come after you.

It's quite fitting if you ask me, given that we're all basically leasing everything down to the atoms that make us up, all to be returned upon our death.

What's most frightening to me is the pretense of personal property rights. It hangs out in the back of most people's minds, encouraging them to resist communal ideals like universal basic income and true public healthcare (at least in the US). So, once something incredible happens, like a house fire, cancer, unauthorized government seizure, etc., we're left to fend for ourselves when these issues would be minor if we were all working together.

That said, IMO, if we're going to have a pretense of property rights, then we need to have inalienable property rights, but if those rights are indeed destined to remain fragile, we should do away with them now to better prepare for a world where robots have more jobs than we do.

It seems uncomfortable, but how does it compare to how the Japanese treated the Chinese during the war?

Its easy to look back now and think America was terrible but lets not forget that World War Freaking 2 was happening at the time. If your beloved son just got killed at Perl Harbor you probably would have no issue with this at all. Hell you probably feel like it is not bad enough.

Its just like all these self righteous people who want to call Bush an idiot for the wars. If your Wife, kids, friends were under a pile of cement in downtown Manhattan on 9/11 you would probably have no issue with bombing the f* out of who ever you were told was responsible.
It seems to be essentially the same point. In the Amazon the best Tapir hunter is a rich man indeed.

> The saddest thing about WWII is that the people who started the war, by funding it, were never brought up on charges at Nuremberg. Prescott Bush and Standard Oil made millions off selling fuel to both sides. IBM made the punch-card based catalogue service for the Nazis. Henry Ford's company made tank treads for both allied and Nazi tanks and even built the rails leading to Auschwitz.

The difference is these all took place before the war started. We sell weapons to countries all the time. That doesn't mean we wouldn't stop them if they began committing atrocities that we currently have no knowledge of.
I would say that our genocide of the indigenous people's of North America was just as bad as either of those.

..and we're still invading their lands and violating treaties with them.

Republicans have suggested that the US repeal the Constitutional right of birthright citizenship specifically to allow people born in the US to illegal immigrants to be rounded up and "deported" to their parents' or grandparents' countries of origin.

The entire scope of this discussion involves more that simply arresting and deporting people who sneak into the US illegally - it also includes a movement to redefine American citizenship in terms of generational purity.
It seems like Git could change the disk format eventually with backwards compatibility for current SHA1 addresses. You don't even need to rewrite old objects. You just need to know which hash method a given tree/commit object is using to verify history or perform checkout. That could be a flag or tag in the object.
The article summary seems to imply this was to a lesser extent?
Even if there weren't any difference, competition in the hearing aid business is more than welcome. The prices can be staggering.
"more than gross" is hardly a scientific analysis of cleanliness, though I guess in line with this article (which is why I flagged it).
The water towers on top of NYC buildings tend to not be maintained especially well:

With their quaint barrel-like contours and weathered
cedar-plank sides, rooftop water towers are a constant on
the New York City skyline. And though they may look like
relics of a past age, millions of residents get their
drinking water from the tanks every day.

But inside these rustic-looking vessels, there are often
thick layers of muddy sediment. Many have not been
cleaned or inspected in years. And regulations governing
water tanks are rarely enforced, an examination by The
New York Times shows.

If this kind of crap has to be done it should be done right. Provide adequate housing, food, transportation. Treat humans as humans, not animals.
To add to responses that you already got there's also a nice use case that partitioning helps with.

When you have table that you constantly inserting large amount of data, and simliarly you are removing old data at the same frequency (i.e. only care about month of data).

If you set partition for example per day, it's way faster to drop old tables than performing a delete.
> It seems uncomfortable, but how does it compare to how the Japanese treated the Chinese during the war?

Why does that matter? Does one atrocity excuse another?

> Its easy to look back now and think America was terrible but lets not forget that World War Freaking 2 was happening at the time.

We were much less terrible than the powers we were fighting against. That doesn't mean we didn't also do some terrible things.

"interesting" to see a famous name talk about such things. Reminds me a lot of my mission in a university lab. Being surrounded by PhD when you're only a grad. will mess up with your self esteem balance.

Maybe Kent was too used to be in control, and in these situation you have none. And you need a clear, trusted communication channel to know how to parse things.

The analogy with music sounds odd to me. Music has this property that when done wrong everything falls quickly apart and you will realize it on the spot. If the vibe is still there, then to me you're doing music good enough.

I also think there are two notions being discussed here: feeling like an imposter, and self consciousness (anxiety, overthinking, rehashing things long after).

I wish I could just pat him on the back and tell him not to torture himself. As he said, he didn't get there by accident. I also wonder if he talked with colleagues at his jobs, or people in the field before writing this.
>the Brainfuck interpreter is written in assembly?!

Having reached the lowest level of the machine, they started digging...
Agreed; a similar course I took as an undergraduate sophomore covered all of this material in two weeks. I'll see if I can dig up some of my old notes. If the HN community has a desire for more computational physics, I'd be happy to share.
I am afraid that merely a citation reference doesn't tell the whole story. I guess someone has to dig into those papers and implement them and then use real world data to test and see, right?
Do hearing aids allow someone who is not deaf to tune out ambient noise (active noise cancellation)? Looks like these might do that.
Don't remember those "iPhone vs rock" comparison charts? The 1 was a bit of a joke, it didn't have basic features that any smartphone at the time had (e.g. copy-paste).
I'm not hard of hearing but I often have trouble understanding people at noisy meetups or conferences (or hell, parties). This sounds like an awesome solution. I'm sure I'm not the only one. But what compounds the problem is that I seem to be worse than most at understanding accents (thanks, growing up in middle America). I've gotten better recently, but still.
I like and use font-awesome. Thanks and keep up the awesome work. Are there advantages to Wenting Zhang's [approach](http://cssicon.space)? Is there any way of lazy-loading - i.e. just accepting that some people - either through ignorance or laziness will load the entire set - and only use a couple of icons? Even if this were just some tool to craft the url it might get us on the road to that petabytes per day (really?).
> After the US et. al. cut off fuel and oil trade. They don't teach you that part in school.

Your argument is confused. You point to profiteers (who were funded by the war, not funding the war), but then follow with this.

There's no such thing as free financing.

There might not be a way around the surcharge they put in place for paying up front, but that's not free financing, it's exploiting the fact that people are generally uninformed to charge more for a less expensive transaction.
> suspect it's less that Japanese Americans looked different, and more that Japan was a non-Christian culture

Christianity and whiteness are surely connected in the cultural consciousness.
Offering someone a job and having them accept it is not unfair or clandestine.
Neat prospect, but I'm not convinced this is a big enough problem for the majority of people which is how this is marketed. I would also expect a price point comparative to other hearing aids to further distance the average consumer.
Japanese-Americans or Japanese immigrants didn't have a history of shooting, stabbing, running over or exploding things.

Vuescan Pro 9.5 Crack and Serial Number Generator Full Free
If old mobile browsers have 4MB caches, 160+k of that is a big chunk. If you could reduce it to e.g. 10k, you'd need 16 sites all using FA with different font selections before you equal the original size. There's a reasonable chance that it's an investigation worth doing.

Another option: find the most-used icons or combinations. Group them.

Another option: similar to nandhp, get a hash of the font selection and name the file so. There's a very good chance a nearby proxy has that combination stored already.

Based on the photo on the website, they look very different. Instead of being in/around the ear, they appear to have a piece that sits on the back of the neck. This could be for the battery or for an array of mics that are used for noise canceling and focusing.

they need to get into something they can rent at clubs and concert venues. Clubs are ridiculous. Every time I go to a club, I don't wear hearing protection, and this means that I am consciously making a choice to lose some of my hearing. I should be able to get some foam things that reduce my hearing damage to something reasonable.

but imagine if I could rent some kind of insert that actually lets me talk with others who also have theirs (because it filters using also a microphone.) how awesome would that be.

You're taking his brief argument far too literally. Of course there was more at play than honour alone. However reasons aside, I'd argue your comment is moot as there's never a good reason to start a war.
