> Do black holes "move?"

Yes, like any other massive objects, black holes can have velocity and momentum. Two black holes, or a black hole and another object like a star, can orbit each other in a way that almost follows Newton's laws.

> How is it that they could merge if they're stationary, unless they're pulling each other in I guess?

This gets at what makes LIGO's findings interesting. Two black holes merge if they fall into each other's event horizons. But Newtonian gravity predicts that, in isolation, this would never happen; two orbiting black holes would just maintain their elliptical orbit forever. (I'm hand-waving here, because Newtonian gravity can't properly model black holes at all.)

The theory of general relativity predicts that the gravitational curvature of the space around the black holes contains energy, similar to the energy in the electric field around a charged particle. And intense changes in curvature can create waves in the curvature of space, which carry away kinetic energy from the black holes and cause them to spiral into each other. Under normal conditions these waves are so unimaginably tiny that they're unmeasurable, but during a black hole merger, they become intense enough to be (barely) detected from billions of light-years away. This is what LIGO detected, confirming a long-known theoretical prediction of GR.

> If black holes are indeed pulling in everything, does that mean the whole universe would eventually be one giant black hole?

Not necessarily. Everything in the universe attracts everything else gravitationally, but that doesn't mean any two objects will inevitably collide. If they have enough energy to move apart faster than their common escape velocity, they are not gravitationally bound and will continue separating forever.
Attempted some quick Googling for you. As expected, it's mostly noise about what managers think of their workers instead of other way around. However, I did find this Gallup piece studying a huge number of workers and companies that supports my hypothesis about management competency in average case.

In a sense, it may have been a good thing we didn't attempt a manned Venus fly-by in the 70s. Even today, we aren't sure we can sufficiently shield spacecraft from radiation outside of the earth's magnetosphere.

Imagine the public perception of NASA had every astronaut that went to Venus come home and slowly died of multiple cancers.
I think you were thinking of microarchitecture, microcode is related but probably not what parent meant.

Information about Intel internal architectures is highly confidential, but there are remotely related technologies that are generic and public, for example

I see, thank you. I'm a bit confused by "after consuming them once they would be effectively gone". Surely NSQ supports more than one subscribers, and won't remove messages after they've been delivered to a single client?

How we increased API performance by 70%+ with Prometheus and Grafana
Sure, it can happen to open source; all engineering rules still apply. The attractive part to me would be that there are more eyes on the code.

I would host my own in a google app engine or heroku and avoid a 3rd party who is more attractive to hackers due to the number of accounts they host and potential gain to criminals.

utterly ridiculous in the eyes of a good chunk of the world

I normally find that people outside of the US are not so nearly informed as they think they are about the driving dynamics of US politics, especially when it comes to things like "why do people vote the way they do".

For the most part, people outside of the US start with their non-American cultural biases which makes them extraordinarily susceptible to what are also the loudest voices: Hollywood, the news media, and the most outrageous politicians - while being almost completely ignorant of the undercurrents that actually drive dinner table conversations.

Although libertarians aren't very represented, if you don't see the heavy strain of libertarianism in modern Conservatism - I'd say that's another indicator that you don't know much about the politics of the people you're overly simplifying.
Does it support Markdown? I wrote a list with asterisks and it didn't get "rich" formatting.
We use angular 2.... 4... at work. It's my biggest regret in my entire career to use angular 2/4. The amount of issues I run into is insane. Just 2 days ago I did a minor update of 4.1.1 to 4.1.3 and it broke the development environment. Now the solution in angular chat room is to sys link all the modules. Ended up downgrading angular.

At home I absolutely love vue. It makes me enjoy doing front end development again. It's so simple and straight forward. Doesn't get in the way. And the community is amazing. Jump in the gitter room and everyone is so friendly and helpful and patient.

I love vue.

I think that's a pretty bad assumption. If that's the case, what's to stop Uber from just taking a bigger chunk now and giving drivers less without raising prices? "Market forces" is the obvious answer, and those forces aren't going away.
At my office, there is a proxy to access internet. When a site is blocked by blue coat filter, I launch putty to open a tunnel to my webserver and I launch firefox portable using my tunnel as a proxy. I used to do it using chrome, but the enterprise has set a policy to block configuration of chrome proxy (like internet explorer). firefox is the only browser that allows uncensored (and private) internet access in my office.

At my house (ubuntu gnome), windows firefox on wine is the only way I have found to access some webTV based on flash.

To be fair, USA hardly ever reports positive articles about China. We didn't report on their moon landing until a year after it happened and many people don't even know it happened at all.

Same goes with their space station. The only coverage went to their previous one that is leaving orbit into earth.

I know that this is a small sample size and only related to their space program as well as my personal observations, but its really hard (for me at least) to say that the USA media does not have a negative bias towards China

It's a balance between cost and sensitivity, and remember that 1 discovery would prove the experiment a "success". I think the way it was planned and executed was great. Also, I think the proof that gravitational waves is far more exciting than comparing gravity wave signatures among a sample of celestial collisions.

The Death of Moore
What is "mainstream conservative thought" to you, may I ask?

From where I sit, the Republican party (often called "conservative") is divided into several factions right now. The think-tank side traditionally caters to three of them: neo-conservative / "law and order" type causes, libertarian causes, or business interests. The Republican party also is the home of both a religious / fundamentalist wing, and a cultural-identity / white nationalist wing; these sides are generally not well represented in the think tanks.

Maybe the later two are what you consider "mainstream"? The issue with the later two camps is that the representative media can be very populist in nature. And populism can be very us-vs-them / emotion driven, sometimes with disregard for facts. This probably would not fit well at all with the current editorial stance of the Times, even if the populism comes from the left.
I like this dream. The only fear is in Amazon's monopoly. The Internet fits your metaphor but was designed so anyone could sign on and play. This delivery network would present far more obstacles even if it were designed for easy onboarding and expansion.

The hourly cost sounds high, but as an honest question, how long would it take? You likely didn't speak to the proprietor of the book store for an hour every time you visited to get a single book recommendation. Would you pay $5 for 5 minutes and a set of recommendations?

It's worth noting that what we had previously was effectively a store manager working part time as what I'm suggesting. Your hourly cost there is also (if full time) equivalent to well into the top decile of earners in the UK.

> The one-on-one approach does not scale.

Does it need to scale? The previous setup was already a one on one approach. The advantage of it now is that location is not important and I could talk immediately to a recommender pretty much anywhere rather than only the one at my local book store.
How old is she? I was maybe 8 at the time. I was not in Beijing. Even I knew what was happening, the event was broadcasted on TV at the time. It was probably heavily censored, but I knew demonstrations etc were going on in Beijing at the time.

It's like the difference between an explosion of TNT and a atomic bomb, but on a much larger scale.

Stars like our sun spend ~10billion years turning a portion of their mass into energy. Most stars are like ours, small, dim and weak in power output. Our sun will not go supernova and will not collapse into a black hole when it dies, it will simply go nova and end up as a dwarf star in a nebula.

But, now imagine two black holes each a billion times as massive as the sun turning all their mass into energy in a couple of seconds.

10billion years to convert 99% of the mass of the sun to energy versus 10 seconds to covert 2 billion times the mass of the sun to energy. Now it makes sense that the power output is more in one second than the whole universe put together.

Solar fusion is on the cosmic scale a very slow way to convert mass to energy. It's so slow that we humans have been 'on the brink' of harnessing it for power generation for decades.

Now imagine if we could build two nano-black-holes and let them collide....

The New York that never got built
Thanks for this detailed description!

Is there a way to close the entry point for evil JS? For example, can you tell the extension to stop touching the DOM and injecting any code. That way the username/password can be only interacted with via the browser's chrome button?
When you talk like that many will think they are going through exact the same things like you.

The greatest thing I discovered about going independet is that there is a salary limit and above that money does not bring any more satisfaction. So there should be space for everyone, forget about competition and negative emotions. As for that limit some say that a few thousands per months is enough to live well. Well for me even one thousand usd/eur is enougn because I rarely make more that that as employee.
Just get used with copy cats there is no escape.
What can possibly be done about media outlets, whose owners choose what news gets reported and what slant it takes on so on? The more you restrict the ability of people to pay for advertisements, the more control the media has over what people see.
> He does say he’s working on developing a TBM that simultaneously digs and reinforces tunnels, one of the big engineering challenges for tunneling. Musk should have given his TED Talk on that instead of this surprisingly archaic idea for addressing vehicular congestion.

I too have more hopes that this could "dramatically change the way we build and finance infrastructure" than all the other aspects of Musk's electric sleds for cars and the associated elevators that go with them to ferry cars around underground.

However, a TED talk on TBMs is a boring, unrelatable talk. A TED talk on how we can "drive" our cars around awful traffic is something many, many Americans can get excited about. Even if I agree with the article author that the assumption that cars are the de facto way to get around is misguided and wrong.

In other words, let's appeal to the affluent car-centric/politicians/lobbyists in cars so we can get better TBMs for public transportation projects down the road that those demographics don't usually support anyways.
This is not so different from any fiat currency. It's only worth something if you believe it's worth something. For that matter, any valuable thing. But at least you can't print gold. (No I'm not a goldbug)

Bitcoin, ethereum, dollars, euro - there isn't anything fundamentally different. Printed money is just that, and the guy who controls the printer can choose to print more and inflate the currency. But we all believe it's worth something... Because we believe it. It's a tautology. Cryptocurrencies are no different.
Yes, but in places where say news organizations are tightly controlled by the state, it is much easier to push a nationalistic, "my-country-can-do-no-wrong" agenda than in places where multiple parties push for agendas that help point out flaws that need to be mended in a country.

It seems a lot of people in this thread are blaming Plex for their own low-quality hardware and/or lack of knowledge.

I have a >10tb collection in Plex and stream to a Nexus Player (among many other devices, some over WAN) with zero issues. The biggest "issue" I've ever faced is that sometimes I need to lower my playback quality to 720p when I'm streaming over WiFi.

So glad I bought the lifetime Plex pass- I am happy to support the folks who made such a reliable and lovely product.

Generally speaking, if you are having issues with a product that is almost universally beloved by tens of thousands of paying customers, the issue is most likely on your end.

edit: The downvoters are going wild in this thread. Anyone who advocates Plex is being buried. For a moment I thought I was back on reddit!
Homelight | Software Engineer | San Francisco | ONSITE | fulltime | https://www.homelight.com/careers

Current Interview Process: quick chat, engineering phone screen, onsite, team lunch, reference check, offer.

HomeLight is creating the best way for home buyers and sellers to find the best real estate agent using objective data about real estate agent performance. We're continually working on our matching algorithm (machine learning & data science) and currently working on some big initiatives to improve how home buyers and sellers and agents interact with homelight and with each other (mobile apps, new product features, etc.)

We're a small team of 7 engineers. Our stack is Ruby on Rails(4.2), and Postgresql(9.6) hosted on Heroku. The front end is using Ember. We've got reasonable test coverage with rspec.

Tasks are reasonably defined, and its normal to push back on tasks to determine the business value in our work. We're not just a feature factory, we care about the value delivered in what we build. As engineers, we have an enormous amount of latitude in the implementation details of our work. Because we're small, you're going to need to know the full stack. You're going to have to write javascript here, sorry.

I applied via the link on the careers page, but if you have any questions, you can email me at evan@homelight.com. When you apply, make sure to mention you saw this hackernews post.
