I'm arguing that he was initially shocked by the idea of killing people. But I don't disagree that he later became comfortable with the idea.
That's not what the commenter was saying; he was saying that the different dialects of English are one language because they're all English (one language). This is ultimately circular. I agree with his conclusion, but the distinction between language and dialect is a hazy one and his answer shined no light.

I was once asking myself the same question. Apparently, Openshift has stronger security focused on a multitenant environment in addition to an out-of-the-box Paas. But I would really like see a good comparison of both.
Nukes have also been a very well-known concept, then have been theoretically invented in 1939 and by 1941, it was well-proven that one can be made. If anything in nukes was a black swan event it was the isotope mix of reactor-produced plutonium which made detonation of plutonium bomb without a fizzle incredibly difficult - something which no one had an idea before it happened and it almost doomed the project - in 1941, making the bomb looked a lot easier than it proved to be.

It was also well-known that U.S. is the world leading scientific and industrial power, that it absorbed huge number of well-educated Jews fleeing Nazis, and it was least affected by ongoing WWII of all major powers.

So if anyone was to make a bomb it was U.S., every rational actor should have expected it to happen. Only 'if' was timing.

I don't think I've seen any evidence that the US has any less regulations than Europe. On the contrary I get the impression that the US has far more detailed regulation than, e.g. Sweden. Americans seem to love being a NIMBY, and corporations have a lot of power to get regulation in place to lock out competition.
Really interesting thing is the flat walls on the fuselages. They were done that way for ease of construction, and are not pressurized containers therefore don't suffer from stress singularities at the corners.
I believe the commenter you responded is aware of the colloquial distinction, and is gently asserting a point that this distinction is not to be believed.

Regardless of the cultural zeitgeist about food preparation by large chains, food from McDonald's is qualitatively the same as food from many fast food restaurants that try to market themselves as above fast food.
We don't know. The prosecution's burden was to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, to a jury, that Ulbricht himself believed he was ordering people killed. They succeeded, and it's not hard to see why.
McDonalds isn't doing delivery. Third parties are doing delivery.

Doordash delivers KFC, Jack in the Box, and Panda Express in Silicon Valley as their fast food choices. With Doordash, don't order anything you can't reheat when it shows up. That's the trouble with these low-end delivery services. They're not using a vehicle with hot and cold storage. It's just some sucker's car.

I am really fascinated by this article, and hope more research is done. I'm not near as old as those candidates, but still feel the effect. The older I have gotten, the harder it is to remember things or learn on the fly.

I remember being 21 at a company, and claimed, and could, write anything they wanted. The older members slowed me down with their inability to understand, well, to me.

But I was writing awful code. To me it was beautiful and worked fine, but as I learned more in years coming I learned design practices and testability, which were nonexistent.

I think this is normal, but to me, sad. I have learned some bit of wisdom in these years, but can admit my brain isn't as fast as it once was. Where's the divide, where do I go? I'm a software engineer, that one day will be replaced with a much younger, headstrong kid, who is much more productive, just as I was back then.
I'm prone to long stints. My problem is that I'm never able to find jobs that pay more, and I am not able to identify real opportunities for advancement at other firms. Every dev job sounds exactly the same, and everyone spews the same old we're so awesome come work for us bullshit.

So jumping ship seems worse than taking a risk - it's more like a total gamble.

While having fewer stages sounds simpler and easier, that's not necessarily a major cost. Having a big and powerful 1st stage is a major cost so this should allow either a cheaper 1st stage or a heavier payload.

Yes. That's why we have a crime of "attempt". You do not need to have a likelihood of success; it only needs to be proven that you did intend, and that you took substantial steps. Ulbricht spent more money on these crimes than most people earn in 10 years.
I'm in Australia, and in our car it works out to about A$0.13/km in fuel. So yeah, you're right there.

I choose not to drink pure canola oil because reasons. But if I did, my ride to work would be fueled by 30mL - so I could maybe just start taking a shot in the morning and a shot in the evening. Yummy.

> "McDonalds probably has better research on their own business than you do."

This is never something you should believe in a major, for-profit company heavy on management.

It takes an astonishing amount of hubris for any single individual to believe they can really have market research superior to a company's when it comes to the company's core competency. Even where it's true, I expect such an individual to have a far more reasoned claim than, "for-profit companies with lots of managers suck!"

Just because companies try things and fail all the time doesn't mean they're not well-thought out and often even well-executed. Do you honestly believe "management heavy" companies are full of people who don't know what they're doing? How do you know what their research teams do or don't do, and know or don't know?

On what basis can you even begin to assert an absolute statement like the one you just claimed? You didn't provide a substantive argument, all you said was companies try things that fail all the time, and implicitly repeated the meme that managers are just vapid drones in the aggregate.

Both fuselages seem to have identical windows. Is that just so they can use the same tooling for both, or is there something else in the left fuselage? Passenger/observer seating, maybe?
Agreed! I have often done more sophisticated analysis and then stepped back and concluded that a simpler analysis was actually better for the business. It moved the business into a better place for informed decisions and gave them simple (analysis backed) rules of thumbs that every manager/director/ VP could understand and use by just checking a couple numbers and doing a simple easily remembered bit of math.

Understandable models with clear intervention points are what most businesses seem to need once you get to digging around in their operations, customer and sales data.
McDonald's been doing delivery for years in my country. I guess it all depends on the lifestyle and competition.

To be fair, there's also a general purpose option for both AWS and GCE. AWS has the M4 and GCE has the n1, something in the middle for either should be good enough for most applications.
I see a lot of problems here. You are selling to technophobes, for the most part. They don't care one iota what the difference is between a firewall or content filter is. If you have fraud-prevention, ie, making sure they don't get screwed out of money, you are talking their level.

There shouldn't be an vice between option A and option B. You are selling security, not options. They are paying you money for your expertise, which includes both your programming an your knowledge, which mainly means they have to get things done and don't have the time the learn about this stuff, which is why they are paying you.

That repeats my initial point. The end-user really doesn't care at all about the product, who you integrate with, what you use, etc. They feel like they are paying experts to make these decisions. Asking them is friction, which is nothing but wasting their time.
Totally true, I don't know where people get the idea that only the poor eat McDonald's, being able to grab something quick and consistent is an extremely handy thing. Their breakfast is quite tasty and cheap too.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but most of the time food quality is not the #1 most important thing when I eat, speed is more often a consideration for me, I find myself going "well, I can sit down at a restaurant and waste an hour or grab an egg mcmuffin in 5 minutes", especially when eating alone I tend to lean on the quicker option so long as it doesn't taste actively bad to me.

Technically I think the carrier plane counts as a stage, so two-stage-to-orbit is the minimum.

Yes, I know what you meant. :) Interesting question.
I've found the same, it is a total gamble. Most companies are equally good at selling you bullshit. I'm at a good place now but below the salary I want.

I'm just going to jump every year or two until I'm in top 10% of engineer salary in my area. Then I'll sit back and become a lifer.

It's too bad nobody gives decent raises, it's most of the reason young devs jump from job to job. People have told me it doesn't work but every time I've jumped I've gotten at least 10% more. One time I got offered 20% on the spot to not leave and I said no because I had a job lined up for 50% more.

I think the big black-swan event with nukes was dropping one on a city. It's a pretty big mental leap from "Yes, nuclear fission is possible" to "Our enemies have achieved it in practice, turned it into a weapon, and are about to drop it on one of our cities." Even among the top physicists working on the Manhattan project, it was uncertain if detonating the bomb would ignite the whole atmosphere and kill off all life on earth.

Wormholes, for example, have been theorized for decades. Nevertheless, "The earth is about to fall into a wormhole and end up in another dimension" would probably fall into the category of black-swan events.
I get the same feeling even for smaller scale projects. I was looking at the I-90 at Snoqualmie Pass from below - it's effectively a very long bridge over the area there - and wondering whether I will see such infrastructure projects in my lifetime.

You seem to be under the impression that Donald Trump was the first person to raise the issue of Europe pulling its financial weight in NATO, which is not true.

Indeed, there is no hard explicit contract stating a dollar amount that is owed by European governments to the US, there are only "targets". And according to the general sentiment on HN, I've now learned that the word "target" is a code word for literally no compensation, full stop.

There, I can acknowledge objective reality.

In turn I'll ask you this:

Do you think it is plausible that the US military presence in Europe has contributed in a material way to peace in the region? Yes or no?

Do you think the US bears an uncompensated financial burden for this military presence in Europe? Yes or no?

> The placing of US military bases in Europe has not reduced the number of wars in Europe.

This is speculation.

> They are probably expensive to maintain, but in general they are there because the US wants them there and they benefit the US more than the host nation.

I agree the US wants them there, but who benefits more is far from clear.

> I would repeat for clarity that US bases in Europe have done nothing to prevent wars between EU nations, the credit for that goes to the EU.

Since you've stated this twice I'm going to have to ask for some evidence. Of course there's none as it would require running alternate threads of reality.
And yet, they can do this in Europe, where all these things are also considered important (so far as I know; but I've yet to see evidence to the contrary).

My only hang-up with the explanation/simulation is, why do the fireflies all have clocks that run at the same duration as one another?

I understand advancing your clock to synchronize flashes, but doesn't this presuppose that the clocks run at the same speed?

When I turned on "Show Clocks" in the simulation it indeed looked like the clocks ran at identical durations. Seems like this would be difficult in nature.

>The 747 engines are probably used. There are lots of retired 747s around, many at the Mojave boneyard. Great aircraft, but a fuel hog by current standards.

Correct. They just flew in two used 747s and cannibalized them for parts. http://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/paul-a...

>The crew’s flight deck is literally that of a 747.

>Allen bought two used jumbo jets formerly flown by United Airlines and cannibalized them for parts that account for about half the empty weight of the Roc.

>So although the shell of the cockpit and all the rest of the plane’s body is new — hand-built by Scaled Composites from carbon fiber composites — various key pieces and systems, including avionics, hydraulics and fuel subsystems, are salvaged 747 parts. BAE Systems was subcontracted to disassemble the 747 and install its systems on the Roc.

>The cockpit seats look old and used because they are. The seats as well as the controls the crew will manipulate and the windows they’ll look out of all came from the 747s.

>So did the plane’s six Pratt & Whitney engines, which are already refurbished, cleaned, wrapped and set aside in a corner, ready to hang on the airframe when it’s finished.

Anecdotally, my aged father (72) uses Uber. Uber has spread pretty well to 3rd world countries and is popular in all the vacation spots.

Some people I know tried to switch to Lyft when all the bad PR on Uber hit, but the prices were higher so either they switched back to Uber or the more passionate ones are now riding the metro again.

McDonalds in Thailand delivered when I was there a couple years ago. You just ordered off the McDonald's website. (And one time when we were somehow too drunk to make that work, by calling the store and getting a cashier's Line SN, lol.)

They had branded heat-retaining bags (like pizza places) and delivered via scooter. The cost of labor being somewhat lower in Thailand and the quality of the food being somewhat higher (a large double-BigMac meal was ~$10 while delivery was ~$1), it actually worked pretty well for drunk food at night -- or even if you just didn't want to go out to eat. (They usually were faster and warmer than, say, FoodPanda.)

I somehow think it's not going to translate as well to the US market (cost of labor; lower quality food; double BigMacs aren't a thing), but I do miss it.

Of course, Thai McDonalds is dead to me now that they no longer have wasabi sauce. (I suppose it's my schezwan sauce, now.)
I didn't know about this, and while it's sad, it doesn't excuse his past actions and in the context of this post it doesn't matter.
