Dark matter as particles seems like a natural case to me:

1. We know that some particles don't see some forces, e.g. leptons don't experience the strong nuclear force. So it's natural to expect particles that don't see the electromagnetic force.

2. Dark matter and ordinary matter do interact through gravity, which is the force that governs cosmic structures. So the distribution of dark and normal matter will be naturally related.
Yes, it is approximately 4x "safer" to transport oil via pipeline than rail. And many times more safe than using trucks. In addition, most pipeline failures occur at compressor stations and processing stations, instead of along the pipeline itself. [1]

I always find it funny how polarized the world is about drugs. Why is nearly every culture against it, with the exception of mostly indigenous tribes?

I can't really imagine it's for any other reason than to have a firmer control on the population, or an excuse to imprison people or criminalize them in a convenient way.

People are always going to take drugs, and by and large, they are harmless. I wish we could collectively just... get over it already.

> Subtrees, submodules are utter hell of maintenance, checkout bugs (which hurt CI) and bad UX across the board ("why doesn't this build?" "you forgot to checkout submodules" "no you forgot to move the commit pointer" "no you forgot to change dependant tests because you didn't see them in an isolated repository"...)

I do not recommend using submodules, except in very limited cases.

What I'm suggesting is that if your code base is big enough to break git (considerably larger than the Linux kernel's 16 million lines of code), you might want to break it into multiple projects with their own release cycles. Build them separately, release them via an internal release process, etc.

Personally, I like largish repos. But "an order of magnitude larger than the Linux kernel" is just too big, in my opinion, at least for git-based projects. If you have 100 or 200 million lines of code, you probably have natural points to split up your architecture.

It's "easy" for monoscopic because the camera is just a point in the center, but once you add in eye separation it needs to be in a physically different position depending on what direction you're looking.

Conceivably Lytro's light field camera could give you stereostopic 360 video, but the amount of data required for separate eye perspectives in every direction is colossal. The camera apparently captures video at something like 300 GB/s.

You get a phone call with a pre-recorded message "Hi, this is Microsoft calling, we have received notification you have a virus on your computer, please call 888-888-8888 for assistance removing it."

You call and they either charge you for "support," when they instruct you to delete some files from your event log or something benign or they direct you to install a program that gives them remote access to your computer so they call install malware or ransomware or steal all your files.

After the Dell breach they got even more convincing "This message is for John Doe, this is Dell, we are calling in regards to your Dell Inspiration 1234 with serial number XXXXXXXX."

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/02/dell-to-customers-report...

Sometimes it's a person on the other end instead of a recording but I can't imagine a cold call that requires computer access would be very effective because how many people are going to be sitting in front of their computer at that time? They will almost always instruct you to call back.

An very old pre-internet scam is "you've won a free vacation call 888-888-8888 to claim it." When you call they ask you to pay taxes on your vacation then they run away with the money you paid in "taxes."

> fairly straight forward

This is a rosy-eyed view of C++ if I ever saw one. C++ has a lot of accidental complexity from layers and layers of features and backwards compatibility concerns: maybe some of the features are "straight forward" in isolation, but its interactions with the rest of the language rarely are.

C++ is deceptive, in that the compiler barely keeps track of anything for the programmer, so there are many cases when code should have "random symbols" (or something equivalent) added, but isn't, just being broken instead. The Rust compiler front-loads this: trying to turn runtime brokenness into compile-time errors, which does make it annoying to get code that runs, but it makes it less annoying to get code that actually works correctly.
> Quantum computing

Still gradually in development, presumably coming someday. It's very difficult to get quantum systems of any real complexity to not decohere before they can do useful computation.

> DNA computing

DNA-based storage apparently exists in the lab and might exist someday: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/04/micros.... Current costs are something like $40 million/GB, so that'll have to come down "a bit". I don't know of anyone doing computation with DNA, biology seems too slow for that.

> Optical computing

It's very difficult to make light interact with other light (which is sine qua non for computation) except inside a material with electrons, where you get significant losses and there's no real advantage over just plain old transistors. Not likely to become a useful technology IMO.
Awesome article! The article mentions the signals that the model found were most significant for a message. Curious to know if they're listed by order of significance in the article? And if not was wondering whether one or two signals were predominantly more significant than the rest.

Shit like this is why people don't take HN seriously.
> employers have steadily shifted a larger fraction of healthcare premiums onto employees

This is true, it's a major reason the public understanding of health care cost growth doesn't mirror health care spending growth. But it's also meaningful, because it defines consumer spending, and it's not usually accounted for.

Healthcare's piece of the CPI basket is ~5%, but for a lot of people the real share has grown rapidly and is ~20%. Which means that using a CPI calculation to scale income is a problem - one of the faster-than-inflation segments has rapidly taken over much of the basket.
It's definitely putting the "second" company at a loss, since staffing is not nearly as easy a task as is saying "I accept."

Honestly, think about the "second" offer as a legit job and consider whether you'd really want to work there. If yes, accept the offer. You will have many jobs throughout your career, some more fulfilling than others, and they all add up to your career—the sum total of your experience.

If you really want the second job, go for it, and leave the other job by the wayside. Having worked in jobs that, in hindsight, I hated, I can say it's not worth it to work at a job you hate (or even mildly dislike).

What is good is good work. Pick whichever job you want to go for, and do it. Even though it's hard for a business to staff up, it's a business, and business is business. You are a person, and your life is your life.

On the financial end of it, don't worry about that either. Money comes, money goes. Having been in the workforce for nearly 20 years, I can tell you that job A will not directly affect you except in your ability to negotiate further. That being said, you can always negotiate further—your future employers will not have direct access to your financial situation, so you will still be at liberty to play poker, as it were.

THAT being said, money doesn't matter as much as job satisfaction. Would you murder innocents for six figures? Bottom line, don't waste your time doing anything you don't enjoy. The money will come.

Interesting, but it'd need to interact in ways we don't understand. If it interacted and formed life like we know it, it would need to clump, which it doesn't. For a dark matter candidate to behave correctly, particles need to fly right past each other, heedless of one another except for gravitational effects. Never even collecting into clouds as interstellar gas does.

Who knows though, the interactions between them may not alter their trajectory, but may be so complex that they can support self replicating patterns.

Those FAQs/Facts are amusing.

> Myth: Law enforcement officers deployed concussion grenades resulting in the grievous injury to a protester’s arm.

> Fact: Law enforcement has at no time used concussion grenades during protest activities. Non-lethal munitions used include: impact sponge rounds, drag stabilizer bean bag rounds, riot control CS (tear gas) canister and water, Taser, and stinger balls, which are small rubber balls and CS gas emitted from the device. It makes a loud noise and emits small rubber balls which are meant to cause people to be startled and therefore disperse. It contains no shrapnel.

That environment obviously doesn't attract great talent, so unless the quality of your software isn't important, it will be a poor place to found or move a startup to.

Just wanted to chime in and say that working with them as a hacker is also a great experience. They put a ton of emphasis on the community with publicly disclosed reports (https://hackerone.com/hacktivity/popular), statistics on response efficiency (e.g. https://hackerone.com/uber), and a great support/mediation team (https://support.hackerone.com/hc/en-us/articles/210782803-Ho...). In addition, they also have a really admirable stance on transparency and it seems like they always share as much information as they can (e.g. https://www.hackerone.com/blog/fair-and-transparent-hacker-i...).

I've personally learned a ton from working on bug bounties through HackerOne and am unbelievably excited to see them continue to grow.
Accidents do not make terrorists.

In the Iranian Air Flight incident, a gung-ho boat captain could not get a positive identification after being fired upon. There was no terroristic intent. Bad judgment, but not to the point where the captain intentionally fired upon a commercial aircraft. As for your comment about media notes, the Wikipedia article has a lot of notes.

The 1940's through 1960's actions of the military were in a period of United States of America's mercantilism that was fighting against a sea of red dominoes that were showing up daily. Does this make it right, one cannot say based on the information available at the time.

The fog of war is not easy and that is why the United States of America from the 80's on is so great, we have actively tried to be a better nation. I want to read about this stuff and see that after the cruiser incident happened, there was an investigation and a new approach put in place.

Vimeo has a great platform that I think could be expanded to big budget / Hollywood film. They already abide by what seems to me a Bandcamp-meets-Spotify model but for video.

The future of governance is not governments. Peak representative democracy?
The last place I worked at they did 4x10 week where you work 40 hours in 4 days and then have Fridays completely free. My manager adjusted it so that half the team was 4x10 for two weeks and then the other half of the team was 5x8 so there were no days where the whole team was out of the office.

It worked out pretty well, but there were some obvious flaws like someone dropping the ball a few times here and there and the rules got changed where you had to have "availability" on your day off, just in case someone had a question, or something broke that you checked in.

It does make intuitive sense that a person (employer) wouldn't want to pay for what amounts to nothing (employee not providing productivity).

So the argument commonly takes the form of, "Well you're actually paying for something when an employee doesn't seem to be doing anything."

The std. dev. & max numbers caught my eyes:

Latency 192.49us 451.74us 15.14ms -- go 1.8rc3
Latency 210.16us 528.53us 14.78ms -- go 1.7.5

That is a seriously fat distribution. Has anyone ever benched for percentiles?
No, it wasn’t. ln(2654435761) is about 22, so if you limit yourself to odd numbers, about one in 11 attempts near that number will give you a prime.

At a generous one minute to prove primality of numbers in that range using trial division, and assuming you forget to bail out early when you find the first divisor, you still very likely will find a prime within an hour.

Even in the 70s, when computer time cost real money, that shouldn’t deter you.

(I just tried this on a Mac Mini, in Swift; finding 1000 primes took about a third of a second; 3 seconds if I forget to bail out early)

Edit: as further evidence that this isn't that large a prime: we knew 2^31-1 to be prime by trial division in 1772 (Euler somehow found time to do that)
Right. I guess if I were going to tread in those waters, I would literally sell a "fully-loaded kodi box", like I would load every plugin available.

Forget about the media. I would love to get into the paid protest game. Not for me, personally, but I know a few people with reasonably flexible work/school schedules and some sign-painting skills, who could really use another source of income.

So how exactly does one get paid for attending a protest? What's the going rate? Is there a bonus for being shown on television or getting arrested? Will any chant phrases be provided beforehand, or are they ad hoc? Will they get a 1099, or is it cash under the table?

If the hypothesis is that some protesters are paid, wouldn't it be prudent to at least test that hypothesis by trying to get paid for doing one yourself?

[Edit:] I have seen multiple instances, from multiple sources, where people are claiming that protesters are literally being paid with actual dollars--not in warm fuzzies or in social justice scrip, but actual spendable cash. They will respond to a crowd photo by saying, "That must have cost [Soros|The Koch Bros.|Murdoch|Redstone|The Illuminati] a few million." I am aware that organizing events costs money, but they seem to think that every individual in the photograph actually got a check for showing up.
Trump hits out at Nordstrom for dropping Ivanka's fashion line
I live and work in London as a developer with about 2 years work experience, and I do feel the pull of moving somewhere else like Bristol.

Extract less oil = prices go up = more incentive to look for other alternatives.

So if you want to make a difference, yes, limiting the supply is one way to do it by not extracting it in the first place.
That's a good way to put it. I think it's also the case that Jane Jacobs wanted outcomes for cities that make them attractive and vibrant living places in the eyes of many. However, she was far less interested in then making, say, NYC easy and affordable for more people to live in--especially if doing so ran counter to goal #1.
Interestingly, with a few hundred gates you can produce the circuitry needed to digitize data from a seismometer (one of the main reasons you'd want a long-duration lander on Venus), do some basic forward error correction, and transmit to a relay satellite. You'd have basically no memory, since memory is extremely expensive energy-wise and consumes a lot of gates, so you would just transmit the data as it is received. Just a few hundred gates is not unreasonable to make out of these relatively primitive high temperature circuits. A full computer with memory is not feasible, but neither is it required to accomplish the mission. Here is a paper describing a Venus mission operating entirely at high temperature using the kinds of digital circuits I described:

Said no poor person ever. You can't just bury your head in the sand and pretend your policies/idea don't impact anyone.

If you understand that and choose to do so anyway because you feel it's better, fine, at least you understand that you are making a tradeoff. But just pretending there is no harm is disingenuous.
Looks like solr is being used to rank messages using a few features and then re-ranking the top n at application layer using another set of features. This would constrain the search quality as 1) you have no control as to how these two set of features interact and 2) messages ranked low based on first set of features could be highly relevant according to the second set.
Another possible approach could have been using a custom scorer to influence scoring at lucene level, thereby combining all the features at a single point. Was this approach evaluated? If so, any insights as to what could be a limitation?
