Cyclists hate Armstrong and always will. Some won't even mention his name.

Armstrong was the chief enforcer of the Omerta, the code of silence that allowed doping to continue unabated. Other riders might be able to claim that they simply went along with the culture of doping, that they were coerced by team bosses, that they had no choice but to dope if they wanted to pay their bills.

Armstrong has no such excuses. He personally oversaw the USPS doping programme, he personally ensured that anyone who spoke about doping was made a pariah in the sport. He intimidated members of his own team. He libelled reporters whilst falsely suing them for libel. He exploited the goodwill of cancer survivors to protect his own deceit.

Armstrong tore the heart out of our sport and left a litany of ruined lives in his wake.

In the Mahabharata, Shukracharya due to his alcoholism caused Kacha to be killed, ground up and mixed in his alcohol by the Asuras. After going through an ordeal of having to teach Kacha the secret Sanjivani knowledge, Shukracharya came to his senses, and pronounced these sayings on drinking:

यो ब्राह्मणो अद्य प्रभृतीह कश्चिन्मोहात्सुरां पास्यति मन्दबुद्धिः।

अपेतधर्मो ब्रह्महा चैव स स्यादस्मिँल्लोके गर्हितः स्यात्परे च ॥

“Whoever foolish brahmana henceforth drinks alcohol out of delusion, he should be considered as devoid of dharma, a killer of brahmanas, and should be forever despised in this world and the next.”

This is as far as Brahmins are concerned. However, since Vedic times there have been special yajnas for Kshatriyas where drinking is done in a restricted way so as to allow them to indulge in their vices but in a controlled way. I believe the yajna in which drinking is allowed is either Rajasuya or Sautramani.

The Dharma shastras (law books) by default condemn alcoholism for any person regardless of occupation. However, in consideration of physical exertion and exhaustion of Kshatriyas and Shudras, alcohol is allowed for them to bring some relaxation and relief of pain.
They've ground-tested boosters with full-flight equivalent burns hundreds of times without seeing any serious degradation. Of course that's not the same as putting them through re-entry and landings. Block 5 will include improved legs and I'm sure they will make other improvements based on lessons learned from examining the recovered boosters.

Personally I'd expect the main stresses on the system to be due to running the engines. I see no reason to suppose that the other stresses the cores experience in flight can't be engineered round to a similar degree of resiliency.

It sounds like you don't understand what a minifier is.

A minifier takes your css code and removes the noise from it. It does so by removing whitespace, comments, duplicate rules and redundant properties.

What it sounds like you're really complaining about is using sass (which has a compressed output), because it removes a layer of abstraction and makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. This is true of almost anything and everything.

Besides, most of the comments in this thread are positing wild guesses and making spurious claims. If you didn't complain about the article or those comments you have no right to complain about my link not being a high standard of truth :^)

The problem with such a tree optimization is that you will only find a locally best solution.

If compressor1 generates the smallest result in step 1 all other compressors will only try to minimize this result. But maybe the compressor did something which the other conpressors are not optimized for. So you'll find a lically best solution for a starting point with conpressor1.
But maybe it would have been better to start with compressor3 because it's result is smaller after step 2 than starting with compressor1.

No one is being paid for that work, but someone is monetizing it.

I've heard countries like the UK and Ireland are excellent for solar. Not in the same way as deserts like Syria and North Africa because the temperatures are much cooler the solar cells can operate more efficiently thus producing more power.

Seemingly under this logic frozen deserts would be excellent solar farm locations.

SimpleBlocker is a chrome plugin I use to block out distracting websites.

Here's what I did:

1) Installed RescueTime

2) 1 week later looked at my most visited websites and made a list of all I didn't want to visit again.

3) I added them to Simple Blocker and set a random password.

Now, I can't use chrome to access those sites, unless I uninstall the plugin. And, I've made a deal with myself that I wont uninstall it for atleast 2 months.

Anyway, tools can only help. At some point you just have to do it.

But to me this is not a Pareto improvement (i.e., this is subjective).

So when I correctly teach Google's proprietary image recognition software what a traffic sign, mountain, store front (ugh, these are the worst), or tree is, I am (even in the strict economic sense of a Pareto improvement) harming myself.

Their competence in restricting access to the information and preventing its decimation, I suppose.
That's not a lot - that's actually very little. We have a crude 3D map of some of the top-level systems, but very little idea how or why they work as they do.

Which is not a surprise. Imagine someone hands you an encapsulated CPU and you don't know what a clock is, what external memory is, or what an instruction set is.

How long will it take you to understand what it does and how it works?

Now let's say you know what a gate is, and you take the top off and reverse engineer the circuit. Does that help?

IMO, not as much as we'd all like. For a CPU the important information isn't in the connectome, it's in the design manual.

It's a fair bet the brain is rather more complicated. And there's no manual.

Having a crude map of some top-level systems is a good start, but I'm surprised that there seems to have been a lot of labelling and identification, but comparatively little interest in investigating how information is passed between the subsystems and how they function together.

> That's a little disrespectful to those who actually lived in surveillance states. Is your neighbor watching you, ready to report you to the state for suspected subversive activities?

What's worse, if your neighbour consented to watching you and is actively reporting, or if the surveillance state doesn't even need your neighbour's consent to watch you because these neighbours (and family, friends, partner, etc) are all on Facebook, voluntarily carrying GPS-tracked recording devices everywhere they go, even into your bedroom--thereby making any defensive choice you can make for yourself useless, not joining Facebook, taking care what happens to your phone, etc.

Certainly you can argue it's more disheartening and chilling if, through propaganda, your neighbour voluntarily chooses to report you to the state.

On the other hand, the part where the state doesn't even need consent, that they can watch you much more closely and accurately, all the while your neighbours believe everything is fine--that's also pretty bad.

I'm all for perspective, but can we agree that it's just different? Maybe they don't carry people off to secret prisons quite as often any more. But the level and depth of surveillance is a lot worse, they know a lot more about everybody. And the propaganda, they don't need it to convince your neighbours to spy on you to make sure you're not doing anything subversive, no they control the Facebook feeds and the media's narrative to attack the concept of "subversive" itself.

> And even if the government knows that you do these things, how much of a threat do you need to pose before they'll act against you in particular? The governments of old would routinely act against large numbers of their population for far less.

But what if today, for the governments it is easier to not just act against you in particular, they defuse the whole threat on a much wider scale, the "terrorist propaganda" with a truckload of "fake news" (already there, just a little nudge into the spotlight).

I suppose that yes, if you carefully add all the pros and cons together, these old surveillance states were in fact worse. Given that I believe torture is one of the worst possible things you can do to a person, and that happened on a much larger scale, if you're keeping score that really makes it worse. On the other hand what we have now in the West is also pretty bad. And the level and depth of surveillance and control is worse now. Just because something that was worse was called a "surveillance state", doesn't mean we are also living in one now, and that it's doing bad things to our freedoms.

Someone on HN made a claim that the idea of beer as a clean drinking source was a myth and cited a Reddit comment as a source. This is unacceptable to me because that Reddit comment cites no further sources and raises other concerns.

I would apply the same rigor to a claim that beer was used as an alternate drinking supply.

Internet comments are just that, commentary. The same as the opinion piece in a newspaper. If they are to be used as fact they must meet a much higher standard or be disregarded. It is not acceptable to cite one opinion as proof of another.
