Just a friendly reminder: as of today there has been a state of emergency in France for over a year now. We are talking about situation with regular army with full automatic assault weapons on the streets and police authorized to enter apartments without court order.
That seems unlikely, but even in that case you'll achieve a lower perigee. It's also extremely unlikely that it would happen - hitting debris when it's directly overhead, yes, but hitting it on a surface that's perpendicular to the laser, like a letter T, probably not.

But assuming we do hit it like a T, the two things happen: loss of mass (laser ablation) and transfer of momentum. Vy will increase but Vx remains constant. The debris is moving in a straight line - that speed doesn't increase, but now it's moving at a different orbit so, relative to its previous orbit, Vx will appear to have reduced (but it hasn't).

But I'm definitely not an expert in orbital mechanics so don't quote me on that.
Just accept you're being lazy. Nothing wrong with that, though.
I think I've been clear enough. You've been asked repeatedly how a facility could even be constructed that would be effective in your 'go for the exchanges' argument, and have yet to recognize the ineffectiveness of any suggestion you've made. This after repeatedly having it demonstrated to you. Furthermore, you're not presenting new arguments, just re-hashing the same one with more words and the same lack of understanding of the subject at hand.

And I think the stockholm syndrome argument for people who argue for the type of control they think banks have without understanding their limitations is a pretty good description of that argument, especially from someone who, not me, brought up 'denial'. Like I said, these are old arguments and suggestions that wouldn't have been effective four years ago, let alone today, where there is even less possibility of control. For the reasons that have been demonstrated by not just me.
Yeah that's pretty common in grad school, but it varies a lot by advisor, goals, etc.
I used it for a bit, it didn't load all the comments. I regretted using it as the default app for HN links.
I would love to use such a device, and explore the possibilities.

However, it concerns me that every major player out there tries to create a locked playing field with their devices ("amazon home" vs "google home").

I really don't like the idea of buying home automation devices that are meant for one specific solution. Moreover, I also fear that I could become dependent on a corporate-owned device/service, with no direct alternatives (or with convoluted migration paths).

And that's not even mentioning the privacy issues, or (ok, I touched that a bit) the freedom to hack a bit the API (what if I would like to add a completely custom command, change the detection keyword, etc...)

There are some open solutions such as Mycroft, but I must confess I haven't looked much at it. I won't consider this technology mature or ready for use until those concerns are addressed, which could take some time: it also seems to me that those "personal assistants" are more suited to a central architecture (which raises the question: did this architecture influence their design, or is it the only possible solution for a reliable "personal assistant"?).

It seems very odd to me to treat the job application process in this way. If nothing else, interviews are pretty much an all-day affair, at least in the sense that even if you have a short one, it's still going to be tough to schedule 2 in a day. Add that onto how many companies want multiple rounds of interviews, phone screens, take-home projects, etc and you get that you want to have a good idea that you actually want to work for a company before you apply and go for an interview. That doesn't mesh very well with writing scripts to mass-apply to companies and going on multiple dozens of interviews.
>This is most certainly not True, as the Russian annexation of Crimea and the Troubles in Ukraine have so clearly demonstrated.

You mean the Russian annexation of a part of Ukraine (a country in their border), namely the part with a majority of ethnic Russian citizens, who had a referendum in favor of it, and that only happened when the democratically elected government of Ukraine was overthrown by a sketchy coalition including bona fide Nazi sympathizers? I'm sure this proves that France, and Romania, Germany, Portugal, Malta, Albania, Greece, Italy, and all have a lot to fear from Russia...

It's especially funny considering US as some protector of Europe from Russia, considering that unlike the above very tame example, the US has occupied 2 countries in the past 2 decades, bombed in Eastern Europe, helped form a protectorate there, and helped destabilize a few more (e.g. Syria, Libya), taking Europeans in the NATO to along for the ride and boosting terrorism support in those areas (including against Europe).

>Even if Russian might not want to annex more territory, without the backing of NATO, Russia could bully Western European countries more easily.

Ever past the Cold War it has been the opposite: the NATO (a Cold War formation if there ever was one) instead of dismantling, got into expanding ever more into Eastern Europe and Russia's neighbors, and forever bully Russia into submission with sanctions, diplomatic pressure, etc.
Haha. I guess not ones who want to get rich from their work.

Don't buy so much food.
Losing bees would suck so bad. Lots of plants co evolved, requiring pollinators. Orchids are the weirdest, with special moths unique to them [1]. But so much stuff depends on bees. A whole bunch of kinds of fruit trees, different kinds of beans, even celery.

Hand pollination is possible, of course, but that seems like such a pita. Perhaps it's possible to automate.

We have a perfectly good, self optimizing system that constantly moves to optimality. If we could just lighten up a little, not push quite so hard, or even just do localized trials of intensive use pesticides and fertilizers, we could find a balance of what the system can support.

Either go slow and look for local optimizations that are then distributed widely, or engineer immunity, or both.

Ugh. I guess if it was easy, it wouldn't be a problem.

Do employers ever get sued for having an abusive work culture?
Sure, but it's not just that. The quality of life could be argued to be significantly higher than in other places.

The job security once you land a decent gig is not something to be discarded. This being said, Macron does plan on making it easier for people to be fired, in order to make it easier for companies to hire. This is a big topic that I could rant for hours about.

You do get all-inclusive health care. In addition to what the government provides, most 40k€ jobs will come with an extra private insurance ("mutuelle"), which will effectively reduce health costs for you and your family to 0. Depending on how nice your company is, you might be _taxed_ on an extra 20-40€ of monthly income, which gives mutuelle rights to you and your family. If you're unlucky, 20-40€ will be deducted from your pay for every family member on the mutuelle. This is usually not negotiable as it is managed/negotiated by the employee representatives/unions.

You also get fairly decent rents. 600€/month will get you a flat in any city, except Paris/Lyon. 1000-1400€ will get you a nice place in most cities.

You also get access to a decent transportation network to most Europe, and a very good internet connectivity, at the consumer level.

I moved from France to Denmark. I would say my wealth has increased (2-3x salary increase), but my overall stress has massively increased. France has a lot of good things going for it.
I sort of understand why you want to avoid GitHub, thank you for sharing those links. All in all though to make a small pull request like the one in question, it takes about 2 minutes and three clicks to do so.

Not that you should do so if you don't want to, but this is a good thing for OS projects. The barrier to entry and contribute is non-existent - if you want to fix something small just press 'edit', make your changes in the browser and press 'submit merge request'.

No cloning, no local installs, no fuss. You can do it from your phone, on a bus.
Lol. Having a master's is negatively correlated with developer quality in many people's experience.
Using just SQL or using an ORM is not a binary choice (and I'm not talking about the ability to drop down to SQL in an ORM). There is a middle or third option: libraries that wrap SQL (with a thin or thick layer) and provide a somewhat higher level of abstraction. Often called Data Access Layers, or similar names. SQLAlchemy Core is one such, and the pyDAL of web2py is another [1].

[1] I had blogged briefly about pyDAL here:
pyDAL, a pure Python Database Abstraction Layer:

https://jugad2.blogspot.in/2014/12/pydal-pure-python-databas...

I'd worked as the team leader on one such database middleware product, written in C for Windows, some years ago. It was successful, and somewhat widely used in projects for clients at the company where we built it.

Such products can enable you to write less boilerplate SQL code, and also to work at a somewhat higher level of abstraction, thereby providing some productivity.

I agree with some of the other comments here, that 1) such abstractions can sometimes be leaky, and 2) SQL is not hard to learn (for the basics and a bit more - hell, it used to be considered bread-and-butter tech), but for some reason there seems to be an impression that it is tough, from the last few years - sometime after Web 2.0, maybe.
Well, the wirecutter is not really an independent source anymore (if it ever was one). Studies by the consumer associations are a much more accurate view (the French one is particularly good BTW).

About the quality of the job. My issue is not with shame, is with unwarranted praise. This article is trying to praise someone that did a job 6x worst than the competition, that sounds to me like a plain old advertisement.
I would say it never goes away. I have built companies, angel invested, ran M&A. Still, I always think I am clueless.

I am starting to view it more as a power. "You cannot learn what you already think you know". Having imposter's syndrome means I always will fight harder to get better.
There are several changes I’d make to the number system if I could. Chief among them:

(1) Try to mostly use a positional system in speech as well as writing. This saves a lot of time because "three five nine" is a lot easier to say than "three hundred fifty-nine", removes a huge amount of confusing irregularity, and overall makes life much nicer for children just learning. While we’re at it, scrap percentages.

(2) Allow signed digits, and give the negative versions their own unambiguous names. It’s amazingly convenient to be able to have a way to directly express e.g. 200 – 3 without needing to call it 197. Students should learn to convert between an all-positive-digit form of a number and a round-via-truncation form of the number, and generally use the latter in most practical circumstances.

For more on this point see http://ethw.org/Ancient_Computers

(3) – a pipe dream – general use of base twelve, and in particular use of binary logarithms (“doublings”, “bits”, “octaves”) written using duodecimal fractions.

Using alternate bases can be nice, and binary divisions are a lot more useful than division by 5 – especially for e.g. measuring circular arcs where binary divisions are much easier to compute because they only require square roots https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_scaling#Binary_angles – but these Telugu symbols are too complicated to write for a base 4 system to use for general numeration. If we want divisions by two, hexadecimal (with appropriately redesigned glyphs) is better.
No, that is not what I mean.
Yes. It was a temporary measure that as been prolonged more and more. It's rather concerning, but what's worst is that the population really doesn't see the problem with it. If anything goes in the direction away from freedom with a security label attached to it, everybody will follow happily. This is the receipe for a new dictatorship. But of course if you say that you are crazy because there is no way our country would do that ever. We are so clever. Better than the rest of the world. And history's lesson don't apply to us.
I used bug.n for a while

https://github.com/fuhsjr00/bug.n

It worked pretty well but was occasionally buggy, but that's the best that can be expected without replacing the Explorer Shell. I'd recommend trying it out.
In the short term it may seem more unfortunate, but the problem with expensive ASICs is that they make centralisation far easier, by making it less feasible for ordinary people to do the mining.
Hm I'm liking this the most out of the ones posted thus far, and the lack of widget isn't a huge drawback. Being open source is a plus though! Thanks!

I think some were quick to dismiss you, but I think you actually ask a question that's truly non obvious for a lot of people.

Why care about others? Why care about anyone else but ourselves?

Personally, I feel it's because we're stronger together. The more united we could be as a race, the stronger our race would be. We'd probably innovate and invent quicker, leveraging the potential of each one's evolutionary traits.

It would also eliminate our biggest threat. Other humans have been a large cause of danger for a long time. If we could bend together at full scale, we'd eliminatea huge problem.

Finally, I think it's also because our happiness depends on others too. Feeling loved and appreciated is necessary to us. Having people to play, laugh and party with, people to eat with, to exchange and interact with while feeling safe and accepted is probably a fundamental human need. Giving it to others is one of the best strategy to in turn receive it from others. So caring for others is a good way to have others care for you.

Now, I'm being generic. Why care for those specific Afghan girl is probably even harder to understand. I'm not sure I have the full answer. I think it's simply that not doing so would be counter productive to the goal of uniting all humans. And as I explained, there could be good reason to want this outcome. But not everyone is convinced that outcome would be best for them, or that defaulting to universally caring for all is the best way to reach that outcome. Maybe that's the case for you. In which case, there's only a few possibilities. What's best for you isn't for me. You're wrong in thinking it's best for you. I'm wrong in thinking its best for me. Or we're both wrong.

Either ways, I think we could all do with talking more about this, because its actually not obvious, at least to a large number of people.

The best developper I know didn't even finished school. I train every month plenty of terrible devs for a living. They all have better formal education than I, yet I'm paid 5 times their salary to teach them how to do their job.

Had to work in England in the 90's for a week and the bus on the route I used was blown up two hours after I got off by the IRA. All the London landmarks were patrolled by army soldiers with rifles. Everyone can get used to almost any circumstance, the odds of being a victim of a terror attack are miniscule. I'm much more likely to get hit by a drunk driver in the USA.

I'm Canadian and have a 15 month old, so I'm not as up on European news as I should be. Does that state of emergency stem from the Paris attacks in 2015?
Naive, yes, but no offence intended. You seem sincere, but consider that many judges are political appointees trained in legal matters. They will leave "the science" up to expert witnesses who've been paid to say whatever they've been paid to say.

Look at the court cases involving Purdue Pharma and Oxycontin, or Phillip Morris and Cigarettes, or any of the oil companies and their oil spills, or Nestlé and cases involving its water sources, or look at the government and gerrymandering. The evidence of judges identifying sound science and it affecting their decisions in major cases - those involving large amounts of money - is not comforting.

But if that doesn't convince you, then perhaps you can show us where in the Constitution the judiciary is delegated this power to define truth.

Have you never heard the cautionary story of Galileo?

I like the BSDs in general and have used them in the past. But for my work I can only use OSX or Linux, as some of the stuff I need is only supported on those OSes. I could probably make a BSD work if I really wanted to, but it's easier to just go with the flow on some things.
To what do you attribute the rise in stress - you only gave details on France and the salary change. Also did you already speak Danish?
Don't take this the wrong way but your statement is incorrect. I don't have time to type out all the various subsets of strokes but Wikipedia is a good initial source. Dissections are fairly uncommon. Far more common are emboli strokes from afib, small vessel atherosclerosis, for example.

Interestingly, dissections as you mention cause ischemic strokes by (generally speaking) flicking off clots that mess things up downstream that form within a pouch made by the dissection (low blood flow + body trying to patch things up = pro-coagulation). Note in this case there is a tear in the artery wall but the wall remains (ie, no blood exits the artery).

This is different than an aneurysm, when the arterial wall bursts and you have bleeding within the brain. That is termed a hemorrhagic stroke.

Then their market - the place they live and the employers who are willing to hire them have decided their worth.
Isn't it what the standard compiler switch is for? For instance if your codebase builds fine with -std=c++17 and std::bind would have been removed in C++20, your code base would still compile fine because the compiler would figure it out.
Yeah I've stuck with it for years now and while trying others every so often as it has bugs with voting and editing your own posts I think it's still the best by far.

This is PR. Innovation in France in the start up space is stale. Our talents usually go to somewhere else because you get 3 times the pay and much more exciting projects.

Projects here are usually quite classical. Investors are shy with money. People from both sides reject risks, and hence the chance of a big success. They want the unicorns for cheap, without having to go find it in the forest and care for it.

The administrative burden, the taxes and the terrible situation with hiring give the last blow.

France is a terrible place for start ups. We got some. But given the great talent pool we have, I find the quantity and quality pitiful. We have good people here, smart ones, efficient ones, nice onces. And we waste so many opportunities.

"Three five nine" is easier to say than "three hundred and fifty-nine", but the second option lets me have an order-of-magnitude number from the start. Take "one seven nine five four two zero eight three". Are you keeping track of how many digits you're hearing? "one hundred seventy nine million, <...don't need to pay attention to the rest...>".

But you did say "mostly". Are you thinking "one seven nine million, five four two thousands, zero eight three" or something like that?
This makes me feel a lot better. I have a fear of being 'called out' one day by people who are 'experts'.

You can compare contracting in London/Zurich/other financial centre. There you can get on par with SF salaries as contractor.

Btw, rent in London is about the same as SF or slightly higher. So even with benefits included it's a worse deal.

I don't know what the situation with renting is like in Paris but given how low salaries are rent would have to be much lower compared to London in order for it to make sense to work there instead.
