When I am drilling holes for pipework I use some attachment to the power tool that drills one guide hole in the middle and a big pip-sized disk. The material inside that disk is not ground up to pieces, it comes out of the hole whole.

At the moment boring machines do not work like that, a conveyor belt of small pieces comes out. What if A380 fuselage sized pieces of rock came out instead and were conveyed off to the coast for coastal defence purposes, or even land reclamation? Carrying objects weighing thousands of tonnes to the sea is not simple but the amount of material excavated the hard way - ground to pieces first - would be significantly lower.

Maybe they have a 'coring machine' rather than a 'boring machine'?
Robot Car: Hungry Shark
While this looks very cool I'm not sure how the economics would work out. The UK-France channel tunnel for instance which transports cars fairly rapidly through a 31 mile tunnel cost $21 bn to build and the tickets aren't cheap (~£100 single) which works if the competition is a ferry but may not if it's just driving a bit. Maybe Musk will figure how to bring down the cost a few times.

I would have thought semi self driving cars platooning would be a cheaper and more practical way to beat the jams.
Well, the main benefit to sugar is that it metabolizes quickly.
On the first pair I called it correctly... but I don't think I could have called it correctly without knowing there was only one fake.

What if there were no fake, or both were fake, and they lied to see if anyone called them on it? Honestly all I was basing it on was the components being SLIGHTLY off (bad QC).

That's why I couldn't pick out which of the second set were a fake, sure there were differences, but there wasn't any visually obvious detriment to those differences.
I tried something on similar lines,there are some problems with this.Bio's usually don't represent the kind of person or field influencer but instead provide false positives. Eg:- If you search for topics like politics and history, you will find more people who propagate conspiracy theories in the results.Also, sometimes people add their interest in bio's which does not represent their influence in the topic.

> But what if busses operated on their own dedicated network?

But if you're building a dedicated network in a major city, why on earth would you limit it to buses? Even with a dedicated network, I don't believe buses can be as fast, comfortable or quiet as rail.

I spent a lot of time in Melbourne, Australia and the trams there are fantastic. You can barely hear them when they're operating so they do a lot to decrease noise, they have a ton of standing room and are quite long, so they can carry a lot of people and I don't believe a bus can come close to the comfort of rail.
Everyone posting comments either defending clones or saying they are not bothered by them (or that they are cool because they foster innovation) has obviously never taken everything they owned, quit their job and even gone as far as mortgaging their family home to develop a product in pursuit of an idea.

Do that. Then come back and tell me how it feels to have some fucker in China clone your product.

I've had the experience of having a company out of Korea do a product that copied 75% of one of ours and introduce it into the US at half the price. Nearly fucking killed my business after investing nearly a million dollars and a year of R&D.

The "D" part is much easier than the "R" part, which is where reverse engineering has a huge advantage. You do all the "R" and then they copy and do some "D".

Not only that, you also identified a market opportunity for a product, which is massive. Ideas are worth shit. Opportunities are worth gold.
I've been looking for the same thing: I want to make a prototype for an idea I have without having to learn a web framework and brush up my java. Alas, I was not able to find an open source solution, and the paid options look super sketchy to me.
i have no idea what you're saying, any links? based on the specific question asked?

it doesn't have competition, they control more than 90% of their market, similar with Wechat having monopoly on IM, so it's not like you have choice no matter what's your age

my personal experience with didi was very inconsistent, half rides were ok, half rides were horrible experiences, so next time i would just call straight taxi company to get regular taxi (yes i am aware you can order regular taxi through Didi, lived in China for years)
Now let us hope all countries follow the suite and ban all metal mining right away.
This is very confusing. There is nothing on the site but the video, and the video doesn't explain who they are and whether this is a serious project or just a design concept, and so on.

I think that this is a case where a secondary source submission, such as this one [1] to a TechCrunch story about this, is better than the primary source source submission, because the TechCrunch story actually tells us what the hell we are looking at. I think the moderators goofed by deciding that this submission was the one that should win.

Anyway, it's an Elon Musk company, and he talked about it at a recent TED talk.

You mentioned the Golden Gate - in Lisbon, we actually have a very similar suspension bridge, but ours does have a train running underneath it, added years later after construction. Supposedly, it was the first aerial spinning of additional main cables on a loaded, fully operational suspension bridge.

Furthermore, it loads a bunch of multi-megabyte png's that it doesn't even display, adding up to a page load of 17 Mb. I wouldn't be surprised if it loads these images on mobile too, but I can't be bothered to check.

This is insanely wordy. I would appreciate a TL;DR;
This is classic troll behavior.
All of your examples are from more than thirty years ago.

In the mean time, half of South America had pretty leftist governments and nothing happened.
I think the skepticism and pretty much well deserved. I would like to see both spaceX and Tesla being well profitable and sustainable without the need for direct/indirect taxpayer support.

Most of Musk's companies are about kicking the can down the road. I admire that he is mostly burning his own money on this but then skepticism of such ideas is natural. The man should probably stick to one thing and take it completion than starting 10.

Strange Food Around the World People Eat Which Will Make U Say WTF
Because you are now more dependent on private cars for transport.

Why would you use this instead of a system where you take a neighborhood bus to the local transit station & shopping center where you can pick up a light rail to the closest subway station, where you take the express train downtown to the high-speed rail station, where you take that to visit the next state for the day? No cars, and you can sit and read a book or take a nap or enjoy the view if you wanted to.

The only scalable transit solution is mass public transit. The world can't afford to pave a private luxury road for everyone to go wherever they want to go. They need to learn to sit next to random strangers on the subway or the bus. If people can't sit next to random strangers on the subway or on the bus, they should be seen as dysfunctional and sociopathic.

This really is one of the worst things I've seen. It may possibly be worse than his Hyperloop, another truly awful idea.

Elon Musk strikes me as one of those guys that defunds mass transit, and then wonders why mass transit is so bad. "It's always breaking down and never on time hurr durr.. So, therefore, buy one of my shiny new cars!"

He really hates mass transit for some reason. Maybe he just can't stand the general public? Is that why he's so into Mars, because he hates everyone here?

We need less pampered and coddled people like Musk, and more people with grit that has the ability to interact with the general public.

Contras were in this same Nicaragua... but they lost. And their current head of state is one of the leaders of the coalition that defeated them.

1. Maintain a system long term. This teaches you the benefits of alternative approaches the hard way.

2. Change languages. Forcing yourself to use a completely different paradigm can sometimes bring about architectural epiphanies.

3. Focus on data and communications instead of processing.

4. Meditate on and draw inspiration from timeless wisdom (eg. a good fortune database like mine @ https://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup)
30 years is not long enough for everyone involved to be dead and no longer influential... and that doesn't even touch on whether the reason it happened is structural.

My reading was less that PostgreSQL was "too difficult to use" and more that MySQL is less strict about safety.

That difference is more substantial than it may sound. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure", as they say. While PostgreSQL may do things in a way that require a little extra annoyance up front, they're usually that way to prevent disastrous data integrity issues further down the line.

What can you say when someone says things like "We prefer logical replication because it uses less bandwidth"? There are extremely good justifications for the high bandwidth cost of real (bit-level) replication. Logical replication has uses but IMO it should be applied cautiously and sparingly.

I felt all of the ASCII shrugs were justified. They signify a tradeoff that Uber made. My personal feeling is that most of those tradeoffs were bad, but what can you do.

I used to stay up nights in my teenage years doing math for fun and actually came up with two or three theorems by myself. What I found out was that all of my (previously) unknown unknowns were are actually very well known within the math community (Wilson's theorem, Fermat's little theorem, trailing zeroes in a factorial, ...).
I'm wondering if there's a better designed version of the IPCC climate change reports. Good information but presented in a massive PDF file which doesn't really lend itself to being referenced or browsed easily.
The capitalists who funded the mass propaganda effort to deny the reality of climate change - what is their endgame? Are they simply hoping to maintain the status quo as long as possible and bleed the planet (and public) dry in the meantime?

In 50 years time, when things go seriously south for mankind and the history of our era is written, our children and grandchildren are going to regard us with the utmost contempt. As for the Kochs and Trumps of the world, what could possibly be a fair reaction to the people who destroyed the planet? A bloody uprising followed by a complete overthrow of the system? Perhaps the ruling class think that by that point they will have enough systems of control in place to keep themselves comfortable as civilization collapses around them, a la Children Of Men.

I'm not sure the gravity of the evil has quite sunk in yet. We are witnessing the worst, most venal, most corrupt behavior that mankind has ever partaken. It is quite spectacular.

Show HN: Data science methods for planning road cycling workouts
> given how hostile the Debian community (mainly packing community) has become over recent years

Could you clarify? What changed wrt packaging?
We're a team of computer and sports scientists developing a cycling training web application.

If someone happens to be interested in end product, we'd be grateful for any feedback. Otherwise, there's some more technical details we'd love to talk about.

We're using genetic algorithms to optimize planned workouts, according to different models and desired distributions.
There's also digital signal processing, which we use to detect intervals in heartrate series (e.g. 2 minutes, rising to 180, check kicsktarter video for visual representation). We're using pattern matching, first derivative convolution, bandpass frequency filtering and calculate signal entropy, to automatically figure out if athlete has completed given workout or not.
It's not even hygiene. When you ride a train, you cede control of your life to it: you have to plan things by schedule, if it's delayed you are delayed, and you don't even have the luxury of silence. people don't usually vote to let other people have immediate control of their lives like that.

There seems to be this weird thing where people are embracing things that strip autonomy from them.

The San Jose urbanized area is the third most densely populated in the country, at 5820 people per square mile. That's only slightly behind the San Francisco-Oakland urbanized area, which is #2 at 6266 people per square mile. (#1 is Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim at almost 7000 per square mile).

Not OP, but I also disable it on my home boxes that run Linux, mainly because 1) I know how the BIOS boot process works very well (and I kinda like knowing how things work, especially on critical paths that can get broken sometimes), and 2) I know how to set up Linux with BIOS boot because I did it so many times before.

So I guess it boils down to "it's not broken for me, why change it?"
Any advice on a visual/spatial person's method to learn linear algebra? Specifically matrices and why transformations are important, not just how to perform them.
Well, I don't know about how good this question is, but it is one that gets asked a lot. And I do still think that 100% of developers have an answer, because I am sure every developer has felt proud about something he did, no matter the size, otherwise why would they still be a developer?
Find something interesting. If you want to be engaged, it has to be something that engages you. We spend most of our "mandatory effort" energy at school or work. If you have a side project or hobby, it will only happen if it's something you find at least somewhat interesting. Doesn't mean there can't be rote portions, but in general, it should be something you want to do.

Find a small task that you want to accomplish, identify something you want to learn along the way. Proceed to accomplish said task with the new tools.
Why does everyone lack imagination on this topic?

Problem: if you drive to the subway, then take the subway, then you have two problems: where do you park your car, and how do you get to your destination once you get off the subway if it's not walking distance?

Currently - people just drive. And the surface streets get progressively more crowded. We could drill more regular roadways - but it's notable that one reason we don't is controlling emissions and safety is difficult with human drivers.

So, taking that back to the video: replace the subway with general purpose transport stations that provide a mix of subway-like transport of passengers, or entire vehicles, powered electrically.

No vehicle emissions (huge problem with tunnels) and no endpoint transport issues - the subway becomes an extension of the road network, and if it's cheap enough to do, hopefully a very scalable one.

Hangman Bot – Guess the film or song title
I'm sure it's a real enough thing for people out there. Me, though, I've never cracked that code: What is it, why does everybody get all exited about all this taste stuff? Sure, some things taste good, some things taste bad, there's stuff I like to eat, and stuff I wouldn't touch with a ten foot spoon, but honestly, it's just ... food.

Apparently, I'm at odds with most people on this. Friends have a really hard time accepting that I mean it when I say I have no preference for what we are going to eat (well, I'll skip the meat, but otherwise), or indeed, whether we are going to eat anything - can't we just grab some bananas if we're hungry?

Of course, this also generally leaves me less than enthusiastic about eating at restaurants. Basically money out the window in my stymied view of the world.
All professional engineers (including software engineers) do have such a code of ethics. Which isn't to say they necessarily adhere to it any better or worse than most software developers.

Some interviewers think like that, with this "wow me now" attitude. These are the bad interviewers, and honestly I don't much care about the answer given to them. The one losing is the company by not hiring me because I didn't "wow them" by their standards, and in the end I would like to work there.

But there are many interviewers that don't expect to hear the atom bombs, or the circus acts, or whatever else. They actually want to hear about something you did, finished, and then a feeling of accomplishment came over you. They are also developers. They want to know a bit more about you. And these are the people I would like to work with.

Bottom line, there are worst questions that are asked during interviews :P.
When the next election comes up, vote for whichever candidate is willing to ditch FTPTP and make third-party candidates mathematically viable. Even if the only candidate who does so is Trump (as long as you expect him to keep that particular promise).
