Honestly, I don't care if the title is clickbaity or not. What I care about is whether the content is worth reading. If it is, I'm happy if the authors entice me to read it, using whatever means necessary (including by using clickbaity titles).

If the article itself was fluff, then I'd be upset if I wasted my time reading it. But titles? Who cares?

In fact, I'd argue it's more harmful to have boring, non-clickbaity titles on interesting/informative articles than it is to have clickbaity titles on fluff. At least with the latter, it only takes a few seconds of my time to scan through it and see it's fluff. With the former, I may never read the article and completely miss out because I never gave it a chance, which is a waste.

That page is a nice tribute, and a reminder that it's not just about astronauts. Far more people ultimately died on the ground.

However I would note that many of those deaths postdate the Apollo program, and some are only tenuously linked with space travel at all:

"10 June 1981 - Scott Maness, firefighter with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, died at Kennedy Space Center after becoming trapped during a firefight"

In the short to medium term, improvements in energy/battery technology that would help maintain habitations and agriculture in areas that would otherwise become problematic. It will take time for that to reach poor/remote areas of the world and limit migration issues we've already seen.
While the eGFX Breakaway box features a 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 interface, some computers equipped with Thunderbolt 3, such as the Dell Precision 3510 and the Alienware 13 R2, use an implementation of Thunderbolt 3 technology that limits PCIe performance to 20Gbps. The MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) also has this limitation in the two right-hand Thunderbolt 3 ports, while offering full performance from the left-hand ports. Full performance also requires the use of the included Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cable, or other Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cables; look for the Thunderbolt icon AND the number 3 on the connector housings to identify these cables.
More people have died from design failures, mishandling, and, in fact, normal operations of non-nuclear power generation facilities than nuclear plants, including the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters. If a gas pipeline explodes what is the conclusion? If a dam breaches and kills thousands, what is the conclusion? If a coal plant kills thousands even when it's working correctly, what is the conclusion?
So is this a policy to redistribute wealth or to deal with climate change? Because it is advertised as something to deal with climate change, but all I see in it is a way to redistribute wealth. If we are serious about climate change then write a policy that deals with it. Everyone makes steps to reduce pollution, not half of us makes steps to reduce pollution and give lots of money to countries who do nothing so they can build up their green energy capabilities and use them to undercut a major source of domestic economic growth
Mmm… no, I didn’t want to. Why do you say that?

I wouldn't say his decisions are the will of the people but rather the result of the political system in action.
The incentive is still there, they'll work for peanuts while citizens don't have to work at all.
This is a graph of what members spend on their own military, not what they contribute to NATO. It's still relevant, because we have an obligation to defend other members and how well they defend themselves affects our behavior, but it's not a zero-sum game. Greece decreasing its defense budget does not mean we need to increase ours, and Poland increasing theirs doesn't mean we can decrease ours.

NATO members absolutely should spend what they agreed to spend, but we aren't forced to spend 3.6% of our budget on defense because they don't. That's something we choose to do, and we could stop if we wanted to.

Beyond that, puts the burden of cost on some areas rather than his base.

When the political right in Australia cut climate research funding, and private industry and the community stepped up to try to fund it instead, those politicians pointed to this as an ideal response.
What about actually just remaining committed to one thing, that type of focus? I feel like a different person every day / week. As if my brain just completely resets and everything I thought I planned last week now seems foreign and I start all over again.

That type of focus, not energy / fatigue related focus, I struggle with.
Even worse, purposely optimizing for engagement isn't too different from accidentally optimizing for outrage.

I just went to your website "paint.net" - it redirects to "Warren Paint & Color Co." - which appears to be a paint company in the US.

Did you perhaps mean getpaint.net? That's the download site for Paint.NET, a Windows-only paint program.

I did see an ad there at the top for "FileSendSuite" which does have a download button:

http://i.imgur.com/ed3CKGb.png

To me, it was reasonably clear the link was for FileSendSuite - but perhaps some other people could get mistaken?

If you hit the "x" in the top-right of any ad, you can report an ad (e.g. for being misleading/spammy), or simply say you never want to see that ad again (it gets filtered).
Home movies is one example, random clips from the internet that aren't proper movies.

The notion of being able to find and play a file that isn't a formal mainstream movie doesn't seem all that obscure to me, and doing a search on filename isn't exactly what I'd classify as wizardry or difficult to implement. At the very least it doesn't seem like a crazy idea.
Can we focus on renewables and stop trying to sell people hazardous waste that can last for millenia?
You do realize that you can't actually guarantee what will happen in 10, 20... 50 years time. Earthquakes, Tsunamis, tornados, terrorist attacks, wars, neglect, malfunction, human error...
How can you guarantee that a certain place is safe to store millions of tons of radioactive waste for thousands of years if we can't even guarantee what will happen tomorrow? We need to stop this nuclear madness!
I responded to individual points that needed to be refuted. The rest was just filler.
Something I have wondered often.

Why animate a movie, if you all your characters are human beings? I don't get it. Isn't the whole point of animation to bring creatures and stuff into life in fantastic ways...

Think Tom & Jerry. You cannot do that using a conventional movie (unless you have Jim carry at your disposal, of course)

It feels so pointless when animated movies try to get accurate portrayal of human attributes.

That is not at all the point of being an animation!
Yes, war cannot be prevented by the gender of its leader.

Business constraints (banking support, cost/benefit), risk and group morality play a far greater role in a countries decision than a single individuals gender.

I think it's important to compare the actualities instead of idealizations.

Airplanes and cars aren't designed with a certain death rate in mind, but it's good to compare the actual bad outcomes.

It's true that coal plants are "designed" to emit a characteristic amount of radioactive material, but they also don't suffer from catastrophic or significant accidental releases so it's appropriate to compare actual historical outcomes. The failure rate of nuclear power is an important part of the consideration. (and it still ends up on top)
Yes, it would be "grandfathering in the advantage we currently gain". You don't want that advantage? Are you tired of winning?

Trump said: "We gonna win so much you may even get tired of winning and you'll say please, please Mr. president, It's too much winning! We can't take it anymore!"

Look, it was a joke. You're expected to like winning.

I suppose you could move elsewhere on the non-level playing field if you actually don't like winning. You'd have to make some major lifestyle changes. I bet you do like winning.

Again you describe CA. Outside the coastline (sometimes inside the coastline, especially past Marin to the OR border), this is very much the case in CA. The central valley is home to some of the most impoverished rural towns in America. Louis Theroux has a fantastic documentary that hits this point: https://documentarystorm.com/the-city-addicted-to-crystal-me...
Nice catch. I thought Potatso Lite is quite easy to use and I didn't get time to translate them. I will do it soon (probably after WWDC)
I too have seen many occurrences of the dreaded application level JOIN.

Not to mention some of the craziness that happens when a "NoSQL" DB was chosen, when you really needed a relational database.
These are different categories of problems.

The problem with climate change is that it might overwhelm our ability to solve it in the "short term" where "short term" is defined as on the scale of a few generations to a century.

In the long term humanity will, if trends continue, be so incredibly wealthy and technologically advanced that we'll be able to tackle problems like CO2 in the atmosphere a lot easier. We'll be able to seriously consider remediation efforts (deciding what the ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere we want is and then making that happen). We'll be more able to respond to climate change by moving our cities, changing our food production strategies, and so forth. That's pretty much guaranteed as long as humanity continues advancing technologically.

But we're not there yet. Much of the world is still impoverished and developing. And there's a great potential for vast human misery. The point of these efforts is to give ourselves enough time to not get completely screwed by climate change before we have the power to deal with it more easily.

Seems pretty reasonable to me.
Texas and California are diversified economies. Texas is more exposed to the oil & gas industry. However, it is still not a petrostate. Which state is the closest to being a petrostate? Alaska (25% exposure).

It is very easy to validate this. Look at the price of oil. It has taken a massive beating over the last years.

Oil Price History: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DCOILWTICO/

If the state is truly a petrostate, it will clearly be reflected in its GDP.

California: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CARGSP

Texas: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TXNGSP

North Dakota: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/NDNGSP

Alaska: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/AKNGSP

Note the massive drop in oil prices after 2014. Alaska's GDP drops around roughly the same period.

Now let's compare this to ACTUAL petrostates.

Saudi Arabia: https://tradingeconomics.com/saudi-arabia/gdp

Columbia: https://tradingeconomics.com/colombia/gdp

Brazil: https://tradingeconomics.com/brazil/gdp

Norway: https://tradingeconomics.com/norway/gdp

Mexico: https://tradingeconomics.com/mexico/gdp

Kuwait: https://tradingeconomics.com/kuwait/gdp

Russia [1]: https://tradingeconomics.com/russia/gdp

Iran [1]: https://tradingeconomics.com/iran/gdp

[1] Sanctions

See the shortfall in GDP, that is a PETROSTATE.

In March of 2017, California produced 14,907,000 barrels of crude oil. Texas produced 102,443,000. That's 7x more. Play that against the fact that Texas' GDP is 2/3rd of California's. Oil has a massive impact in Texas that it simply doesn't have in California.

This is not a good measurement to determine the exposure of the industry to overall economy. It just shows the amount the barrels that can produce. The reason why there is a massive increase in production is due to shale (fracking). The cost of producing oil through fracking is a lot higher than pumping it out of the ground. Because they still have to sell it at market prices, the margin is a lot less for these producers. To compensate for this, these producers have to frack more out of the ground to stay afloat.

This case was covered on HN recently, in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14446261

I think this editorial is making this case out to be more than it is.

There are many ways that a company can work to restrict a person's ability to modify a product that they have purchased. Patent infringement is one way, and that argument's effectiveness has been reduced.

But there are other ways that a person's ability can be restricted, such as licensing and proprietary parts. This case says nothing about that.

So please, author, don't make like I was going to be sued if I tried to replace my iPhone's battery.
"Hey man, christmas lights and LEDs are your example, not mine; I'm just answering your questions."

You are not answering. You still (3rd time I point this out) haven't replied to the majority of what I wrote in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14442878 where I explain the utility of Bitcoin, legal protections, and 0-confirmation transactions. Should I take your silence as tacit acknowlegement?

"No, because it doesn't give any reasoning to connect up Bitcoin production with that 0.74% figure."

It doesn't give the reasoning, but I also don't think your estimate is correct, especially your choice of P/E 20, which is not conservative at all. Remember the world's market cap is comprised of very average companies, including companies that are so terrible they are not worth taking public: for example a small corner store, which I am sure you will agree should not be valued at a P/E of 20. In fact we can estimate a more accurate world P/E by looking at the global market cap of listed companies: $60T (http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/CM.MKT.LCAP.CD) If 1/4th of the world GDP is produced by public/listed companies and 3/4th by private/unlisted ones, then the "world's market cap" is $240T, which means the world's P/E is 3. Bitcoin being valued at $1T would be 0.42% of a $240T world market cap, so it would be reasonable and very average for it to use 0.74% of the world's energy. In fact after doing this math I am surprised how close these 2 figures are. This means Bitcoin would be even more efficient compared to other industries (eg. aluminum smelting) that use disproportionately even larger amounts of energy compared to their contribution to the world's economy/GDP.

"Cryptocurrency transactions can be reversed by those operating the cryptocurrency - look at the Ethereum DAO fork."

Replace "cryptocurrency" with "Bitcoin" in my sentence. Bitcoin has a 8+ year history of never reversing transactions despite many massive thefts. So, as I said, Bitcoin's irreversible property has no equivalent in other financial systems. And you were wrong that RTGS systems provide irreversibility.
The "family budget" and "credit card debt" analogies aren't too terrible. They are a decent start. They don't crash and burn until you have to account for inflation.

Very nice. In the 1990s, when I was doing Softimage physics plug-ins, I met the guy who did the first good water surface shader. The first application was Waterworld, which was such an awful movie the reputation rubbed off on his plug-in. Then he sold some to Titanic, and the business improved.

(Add-ons for Softimage were a crappy business. "400 people chasing $4M in revenue", one Softimage rep told me.)

Oh, I think I see what you're saying. If I'm understanding correctly, then you're saying that the types that traits define are only used with generics? This isn't quite correct, as you can use trait objects to get dynamic dispatch rather than using generics. But yes, in general, functions that are defined to take traits as parameters generally use generics. I'm not sure I'd still consider the idea of traits to be inherently tied to generics, though; the Iterator trait, for instance, is usually just used to call Iterator methods on different types rather than as a way to bound the types of function parameters.
What does "stuff" mean? And what's a "right" in this situation? Does "stuff" include things like a Tesla Model S, and a "right" means that Tesla cannot remotely brick your car due to modifications? Does the "right" to repair only protect from prosecution or does it imply being given access to documentation and spare parts?
You can write an NFA implementation that can inspect each byte once. Of course, you won't get capturing or greedy/non-greedy semantics as a result. Even Start of Match is a challenge.

We did have a project for a while which did capturing (in a Glushkov NFA) in two passes - you had to inspect each byte twice (if you were content with a O(N) size requirement for side storage, where N is the size of the input), three times (with a O(sqrt(N) side storage requirement), ... k times (with a O(power(N, 1/(k-1)) side storage requirement).
