Electronics of the shelve get very unreliable in high dosage environments.
The radiation rewrites your loaded programs, by flipping bits and causing rising edges where there shouldn't be some.

So the program running on your camera will dissolve above some radiation levels, locking it in a watchdog detects and reboot cycle. There are approaches to circumvent that in low to medium environment- one is to have redundant systems and select the "majority" vote on computation results.

But at this level, the only solution is to not have computation near the source and put up with long cable/fibre cable delay- which is tough with complex sensors (aka computers) like cameras.

It is probably some snail-eye setup- the camera a remote mini-drone on cable, retracted on black out.
I had choice to move to UK, Canada or Australia.

At least in my opinion USA is one of the last countries on earth which is offering near 100% freedom of speech, largely free trade and individual freedom, right to own guns and many other things which you can not own without nonsensical bureaucracy, huge landmass, top notch education and a growing capitalistic society.

The way I see it countries like France, UK are pretty much going down the drain through which welfare states often go. In these countries government perhaps don't even need your password. They can do all sort of unauthorized searches any ways. Australian society remains hostile to non white people and China lacks individual and political freedom. Canada is close but it is far too cold for me. Japan is pretty much isolated because of the language and unique culture.
Competition has lowered the prices on the same goods and its killing their business model.

Time for them to lower prices, increase automation to cut labor costs and end employee benefits to be as competitive. Except of course they can't because politically their customers want to feel good about shopping there. That would vanish if the employees benefited less.
Nope, too close to the screws.

> Outsourcing the task to a centralized service also sounds bad. At that point you have to trust that service.

You don't have to trust that service. He can't steal your money, you don't lose any privacy if the other party doesn't cheat, you don't pay anything to the service if there's no cheating attempt, and the 3rd-party service is financially incentivized to help you prevent cheating.

So, no, you don't "trust" anyone in any more meaningful sense than saying that you're "trusting" the miners.
I disagree, but you're entitled to your opinion. There's enough buyers out there to soak up real estate inventory boomers will want to unload. Millenials are screwed but foreign buyers will do fine.

This actually seems to be a problem with certain test fixtures in one of the dependencies: (github.com/ChimeraCoder/anaconda) .

The offending files are:

json/statuses/show.json?id=404409873170841600

json/statuses/show.json?id=738567564641599489

This occurs because Windows can't have question marks in the file names.

I would suggest creating a pull request, or an issue on that repo asking that those files be renamed and the test logic be modified to not require the files to have the question marks (a simple character replacement in the required tests should probably do the job).
I would be interested in some examples of the labour discrepancy. When I think of the difference attributable to organic farming it is mainly around lower crop yields.
My comment was in response to the assertion that CM is somehow "overused". Compared to the fonts I listed, Computer Modern is pretty obscure.

I played with F# on Linux last weekend - using Visual Studio Code. That + the plugins makes it workable - the development experience is not as smooth as I would want it to be:

- Paket keeps checking for new version on every build request with no way to switch that off to my knowledge

- There is no easy way to run the executable without dropping to the terminal (Ctrl+Shift+P -> fsharp doesn't show a "run current" or anything similar).

- The go-to-definition functionality doesn't work; highlighting and pressing f12 doesn't do anything (though hovering pointer on a function shows a tool-tip for what its worth).

The build works fine, syntax highlighting works, linter works well too. Not very sure if I should spend more effort to develop a full application (I want to build a REST api) because my target deployment platform is Linux and I'm not sure if F# on Linux is production ready or not (genuine concern and happy to get feedback on it).

Node.js, Canvas, D3.js: first date
Decommissioning a damaged reactor is insanely expensive and, in too many cases, not possible. Chernobyl is at best contained, not cleaned up. 30 years after the fire and meltdown, the giant curved roof built to cover it was moved into position last year. That will hold things for a few more decades. The next generation will have to work out the next steps.

The jammed AVR pebble bed reactor in Germany is contained, but there's no way to dismantle and dispose of it. Current plans are to wait 60 years and then try to figure out something.

Fukushima’s mess will also take decades. The site generated huge amounts of contaminated water, and there's now a processing plant to take most radioactive contaminants out of the water. The water still has tritium after processing. The half-life of tritium is 12 years, so that will cool off in a few decades. Meanwhile, huge farms of water tanks store the stuff. Lots of radioactive dirt has been dug up and buried deeper somewhere else. There's a refrigerated "ice wall" to try to stop leakage into the ocean. Not much has been done with the reactor vessels themselves. As today's story reports, they can't even get a robot close to the reactor vessel.

This makes one very discouraged about nuclear power.
One of the simple ways to fix this is to by simply starving the beast. Constantly demanding lower taxes. In fact a constitutional amendment to limit US government's spending to may be 15% of GDP.

Once US government is faced with either wage a war in country X under the pretense of WMD or Zombie virus or spend on public education I think we will see some sanity. But the war mongering right and welfare mongering on left will not let that pass.
One of the more important changes in psychology in recent years is that conditions are not labeled a "disorder" unless and until they adversely impact the ability of the person to function happily without harming others. In short, if you are happy with the way your mind works, and you aren't hurting anyone else, you may be Just Fine(tm), according to modern psychology.

A situation like this perhaps tests the bounds of that idea. Even if he says, "I feel fine about all of this", it may be necessary for loved ones to step in and say, "OK, but you're endangering your health."

I travel full-time, often in some pretty odd places, and I have several friends and passing acquaintances who aren't all that far off from this guy. I know folks who ride trains with nothing but a backpack, people who hitchhike cross-country on a regular basis, people who've ridden bikes through multiple countries, people who live/travel in a van or car, etc. I worry about their mental state in some cases, and many have addiction issues, but many choose to live lightly, and I don't know that it would be ethical to insist they do otherwise.

Schizophrenia is more common than most folks realize, and people can suffer in a wide variety of ways because of it. It may be worse to be trapped in an apartment or a mental hospital, or to be suicidal, or to become violent, because of the condition than to be roaming around South America, at least for some folks. It isn't always treatable (anti-psychotics sometimes help, anti-depressants sometimes help, Lithium sometimes helps if schizophrenia is paired with bipolar disorder; my father was schizophrenic and was, at times, prescribed all of those), so maybe being happy (or content) and not hurting anyone is as good an outcome as one can achieve.

So, yeah, he may have schizophrenia, and I hope he's able to get treatment that works effectively. It sounds like he's happy to be back with his family, and they're happy to have him back. That's an awesome outcome.
I have responded to your actual arguments in other comments here. I just don't know where to start with this one. Your comment fundamentally misrepresents the position of what you term the "anti core crowd" and so it is hard to have a rational discussion when you can't even acknowledge the position of the other side of the argument.

Miners want a hard fork block size increase. You claiming they don't is gas lighting. Core isn't providing it. Segwit is not a block size increase but it's supporters started branding it as one to better market it. That's the double speak part. It's false to call it a block size increase because it isn't. It isn't even guaranteed to increase transaction throughput which is the larger reason for wanting a block size increase. It actually encourages some types of large transaction by discounting the witness data.
> irishcoffee is taking the "don't walk there at that time, everybody knows that" position, and you're taking the "everyone should be able to walk there at any time" position. You're both right, and yet these two positions never ever get reconciled in a productive manner.

irishcoffee is engaging in the victim blaming fallacy, which makes him wrong.
There's also Blogel [0] which is a distributed graph processing framework in C++ and it runs significantly faster than its counterpart in Java, Apache Giraph [1].

I would be curious to hear a bit more about this. From my recollection, just about every single piece of vegetable matter in any given Viennese Billa would come from outside Austria (potatoes being the exception).

Whole Food's prices went way past absurd. I can't afford too shop there anymore unless I'm very careful about what I buy. Almost every single item is 40-50% more expensive. When I first started shopping there I feel like it was closer to 15-20% more expensive which was acceptable. I don't care if $2.50 poor people grocery store PopTarts kill me 15 minutes sooner than the Whole Foods bullshit whatever alternative. That's just fine. I'll give up my 15 minutes to save all that money.
About 10 years ago I knew another Canadian who crossed China-Laos-Thailand-Malaysia without a valid passport or visa (or pretty much any money whatsoever). This was after about 3-4 years in China with an expired visa. When you consider how short the Thai/Malay land border is in particular, if it's possible there, then it would appear that most borders are not very well controlled. This accords with my own experience visiting land borders in remote areas and speaking to local inhabitants (mostly China-Burma-Laos-Vietnam but also Algeria-Tunisia). Allegedly he turned himself in at the Canadian consulate and was flown home.
"Aside: I believe that "mental illness" is born in an individual by having been forced to cohabitate in tight quarters with millions of individuals ..."

The great thing about facts is that they're true whether you believe them or not. Schizophrenia has been documented (not by that name but by description) more than 2,000 years ago. You can't blame modern capitalism or the industrial revolution or modern cities or whatever for schizophrenia.

> DNS lookups are expensive at server scale.

Even if you use a distributed in-memory cache to store the DNS lookup results? If User-Agent contains "Googlebot", then check for client IP in cache – if cached as "Google" continue, if cached as "Not Google" display error page. If client IP not in cache, do DNS lookup and then update cache – or, you could even let the request continue if there is a cache miss, and do the DNS lookup on another thread. That might let a Googlebot faker get a few requests through, but they'll be blocked very quickly unless they keep on changing IPs (something your average paywall bypasser will find hard.)

You don't need to consult the cache for every request, only for requests with User-Agent contains "Googlebot". (And any other bots you are choosing to let through your paywall, e.g. Bingbot.)

> Cheaper to look for Google ASNs.

How does one do that as an application developer? Do you need to speak to a BGP server?
Again, people aren't taking issue with simple moderation. They are taking issue with the fact that certain view points are totally censored from the forum. I would be willing to bet 100% of the comments I've made in this thread would be deleted by moderators in /r/bitcoin simply for the fact that I'm expressing views counter to those they want to promote. I have high confidence they won't be moderated here though. Clearly something is different about /r/biticon censorship vs. HN moderation.

The simple fact that some of my comments even have the word "censorship" in them means they will be automatically deleted from /r/bitcion.
Well, why should I shop at Whole Foods when I can go to Sprouts (or some other alternative) and get basically the same thing for almost regular/non-organic prices?

Then again, the fine article says Sprouts et al are also hurting...
That's not the real problem. Sendmail was written when databases didn't exist in the UNIX world and before UNIX had locking mechanisms. Many of the legacy problems with UNIX/Linux come from components which maintain a database with special purpose code. Sendmail, BIND, login/passwd, etc.
The same way Uber was/is cheaper than Taxi, the cost is subsidised by someone else (Uber's investors, or in this case miners and speculators of Bitcoin)
Isn't one reason organic costs more that customers will pay more for it?
> More recently, Microsoft last year moved its German company headquarters to Munich."

To be fair, the headquarters were in Unterschleißheim before, a suburb of Munich just 5kms from the new location.
> The boutique hospitality market is already looking for ways to mimic the feel of Airbnb rooms and attempting to emulate "belonging" for travelers who are sick of generic looking hotel rooms.

The boutique hospitality market has been offering cozy, friendly, distinctive places for people to stay since long before AirBnB was founded. And besides, despite what the company's marketing department would have you believe, AirBnB accommodations are mostly generic apartments stocked with Ikea furniture. Sometimes they're creepily full of someone else's personal stuff. I've never known anyone who rented an AirBnB in order to get a sense of "belonging" in a new place.

From what I've seen, people stay at AirBnBs for two reasons: price and location. You can often get a roof over your head - or a bigger roof under which more people can sleep - for less money than at a hotel. Also, you often can find AirBnBs in neighborhoods without many hotels - perhaps because hotels have been banned in those areas.

Whatever effect AirBnB has had on housing markets in various cities - and I suspect it's frequently exaggerated - I understand why people want to restrict them. A steady stream of short-term guests staying in the apartment down the hall can be a huge nuisance. You feel less safe in your own building with so many complete strangers wandering through. Maybe you get woken up by partying tourists playing loud music late at night. And maybe those tourists make a mess in your building, which they see as more or less interchangeable with a hotel. More than anything else though living next door to an AirBnB can be annoying because it's just not something you signed up for when you moved in. You thought all your neighbors would be part of the community, but then all of a sudden the apartment down the hall turned into a commercial establishment.

Don't get me wrong. AirBnBs can be great. The company offers a totally worthwhile service. And the hotel lobby has done some pretty darn sleazy things to try to fight off AirBnB.

It's just that in stark contrast to, say, the taxi regulations that Lyft and Uber have been pushing against a lot of the regulations around renting rooms that AirBnB has run up against are perfectly understandable.

> More "sharing economy" companies will...

I realize you're using scare quotes, but still, I gotta say, the phrase "sharing economy" is so absurdly misleading. Seeing it is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me. Companies like AirBnB, and Lyft and Uber, have nothing to do with sharing. They're marketplaces for small-scale commercial transactions. I think a much better way to describe this overall phenomenon is the "access economy" [0] which describes the effect of all these informal marketplaces from the consumer's perspective.

I've installed GalliumOS (https://galliumos.org/) on my Acer C720. Previously I'd added Ubuntu via chrouton but disliked the context switching between ChromeOS and Linux.

Eventually I was going to ebay the Chromebook after not finding much benefit in ChromeOS but I read about GalliumOS and decided to try it as last effort. It's been pretty good so far - the battery life is decent (~5 hours) and all the Chromebook bits work (hibernate, camera, sound, mic, usb etc.)

Gallium installs over the ChromeOS, so you'd need to restore your Chromebook if you want to go back.

I've also put a 128MB SSD in, replacing the titchy supplied one.

Yes, you absolutely have to trust the service.

If I have a channel open with Alice and she wants to cheat me but I've out sourced my monitoring to Bob Alice only needs to pay off Bob to go along with her cheating me. I have to trust Bob not to collude with Alice. In Bitcoin I don't have to trust anyone. Surely you can see that there is a difference in the two models.
> There was no such convention or specification at the time.

There was no formal specification, but there was a convention that many distributions were already following (and quite a few others were not).
It might be where I live, but the sticker shock of Whole Foods just seemed like a veneer for me (things I don't buy)--although, it's probably just how I shop. The big thing I noticed was the natural, but not organic items were way cheaper at Whole Foods than the grocery store. Things like cage-free eggs, basic peanut butter (just peanuts and salt), or almond milk. The organic things, prepared food, soaps and stuff were all ludicrously priced. Co-ops, farmers market, or a place like Trader Joes is still cheaper, but not always available.

But I'm probably not the kind of person driving up their profits.
It's not just about organic food. These sorts of stores cater to niches that the larger chains do not.
The Accenture study is not saying that. The LiMux folks were quite happy with the study. Here it is, 10MB PDF with 450 pages: https://www.ris-muenchen.de/RII/RII/DOK/SITZUNGSVORLAGE/4277...
I was surprised it said Sprouts was also in trouble, the one near us seems to get lots of business and we go there every week as well, for produce sometimes their organic stuff is even cheaper than Safeway's conventional produce so it's a no-brainer. IMO the only way Sprouts could improve is being bigger, still end up having to go to Safeway for lots of stuff Sprouts doesn't carry...but Whole Foods isn't even in the equation for us.

Adding to that, a couple of months ago they had to close the KVR, the office where you have to register yourself, your car and basically have all your contacts with German bureaucracy down for a couple of days due to IT issues.

As far as I know, your points 1) and 2) are the main issues. Having to work myself with software talking to Windows hardware drivers from MacOS via Parallels, I can understand the problems of this additional complexity.
The parent asked about what happens after we've built up. Unless population growth grinds to a halt, the buildings will have to grow taller still at some point. If the market needs 20 floor structures today, and 40 floor structures in a decade, he asks how do you take 20 floors of people out of their homes in order to tear down and rebuild sufficiently dense housing.
