VPN crackdown in China, GreenVPN says goodbye
I would suggest "Mr. Robot" tv show, both its storyline and hacks.
For a while I was using the Rocket.Chat desktop client. Sometimes an alert would just flash the taskbar, other times an alert would steal focus. I couldn't work out why only sometimes.
The cost wouldn't be trivial for powering a mars colony.

I'm sure the demand for a colony would scale pretty fast to 100kW or more. Now we are talking about Billions.

So I think that your original point that cost for Pu-238 is not an issue for a colony is wrong.

Small reactors are a much better option as a single ton of fuel could supply a colony with a few MW for decades. You just have to make sure that the largest part is less than 37 tons so it can be transported with a Long March 9.

Ha, good one. I implemented levenshtein distance in Apps Script the other day to help some poor colleagues who were doing manual data cleaning tasks.
There's a lot more joke comments than there used to be even 2-3 years ago. I would date the shift to dang taking over and asking everyone to be nicer - before that HN was more caustic and the noise comments were shut down more quickly.
Because "we as a society" have no business telling other people what to do with their things as long as they don't hurt others.

For some people the alternative to closed source isn't open source, it's either "not publicly published" or "not developed at all", which actually slows development down.
I am going to miss ruptime as a troubleshooting tool. Sure I can check a web based monitoring tool; its only 100 times slower than typing "ruptime" at any CLI I'm logged into. Most of modern progress revolves around making things slower and less productive, in general. zabbix-cli seems focused on CLI based provisioning of Zabbix. Maybe with a couple minutes effort I could make a very short perl script that massages the output of a wget against a zabbix monitoring server URL to output something kind like ruptime. I could name it zuptime. Ahhh progress.

Adding another line to the common role of my ansible commands to pkg install bsdrcmds is annoying but not a terribly high bar.

I kind of like the debian way of splitting out into rwho package and so forth, because I don't want rlogin or rcp.

It's true, but with social momentum, it's probably not to hard to install.
Let's acknowledge "nondisparagement" clauses for what they are: one party's intent to intimidate another. They are a coercive tactic not unlike those deployed by dictatorships or cults: designed to invoke fearfulness and repression of facts or truth.

The courts are very reluctant to hear any of it from contract-smacking plaintiffs going after people they claim "disparaged" them. The whole basis of our judicial system in the US was designed around citizens' rights to criticize overbearing institutions (like the monarchy of Great Britain when a lot of people decided to ship out) freely and without fear of repression by the institutions being criticized. Hence the extensive First Amendment protections that came soon thereafter.

Google, that great beacon of transparency, was accused in a lawsuit of using a broad confidentiality measure that prevents employees from ever talking about their work at Google—or, hilariously, from so much as writing a novel about a Silicon Valley tech company without company approval.

This is disconcerting. The bigger a company gets, the more it needs to rely upon a set of public values rather than fine-print legalese. Employees should be encouraged to challenge the upholding of values at every front... even publicly, if necessary, if that company diverges from what it says it's all about.
I feel that most 'regular' people don't even know about IRC.
To be fair, the process of making them fatal was a lot more recent. Probably only took 3 or 4 years!

According to the wiki,

* almost entirely void in California, Montana, North Dakota, and Oklahoma

* since mid-2015, forbidden for tech businesses in Hawaii (Act 158, tech businesses being defined as "a trade or business that derives the majority of its gross income from the sale or license of products or services resulting from its software development or information technology development, or both" but excluding "standard practice" of broadcast and telco)

* limited to 1 year for those entered into in Utah after May 2016

For the rest, it seems at best they're generally subject to "reasonableness" criteria but chances are you'll have to fight it in court, or may lose employment because the new employer does not want to take the risk barring a release. That looks to be the case in Pennsylvania.
> I originally thought this paper presented evidence for extra dimensions discovered in gravitational wave readings.

And you've perfectly illustrated the current problem with science reporting. It's hard to keep people interested in ongoing discovery when 1) the link doesn't accurately represent the paper's thesis, and 2) the paper is so obtuse as to require a specialized degree to understand.

Whatever your qualifications, your comment provided the context to understand what was being asserted. You are the sort of person who should be writing articles on scientific papers.
One thing that still happens to me on an infrequent but regular basis is clicking on something I didn't intend because something popped up under my cursor.

Invoices, shipping notifications, automated newsletters, automated notifications, All very reasonable uses for a no-reply email addresses, and the typical use case.

Spam is a completely different story, and rarely uses no-reply emails.

If you want to blackhole any information you request from companies than scratch your head why you can't find your tracking information or flight status/itinerary that's completely up to you. Ignoring the valid, reasonable and typical use cases is just absurd
A robotic rover can afford to shut down during the night but humans aren't able to do that. So you need to average out the power generated over the day night cycle and add mass for enough batteries to store daytime power for use at night. Last I did the calculations that roughly doubled the weight. So more like a factor of 8 than 2. But still, power generation won't be the majority of the mission weight so it's not a slam dunk.

On the moon it would be. Half-month long nights mean you'd need a lot more batteries if you're making a permanent settlement and aren't at one of those spots on the south pole where you can always see the sun traveling along the horizon.

EDIT:

I think solar panels have gotten a lot lighter since the ISS went up and when I last did the math nuclear and solar were a lot closer.

Because (personal opinion) the Tesla Model S isn't a particularly great car. Their success is largely in marketing, network, and visual appeal, not in the product itself.

I think the parent's point was that the problem on the iPhone is probably not uBlock Origin since it's not available for iOS.
It seems to me the next "graphical language" interface should be more like working in an IDE, but instead of entering the text directly and having the hints provided - we reverse the problem and only allow the user to enter what is allowed by the syntax of the language.

That would essentially generalise to "creating visual code", only now it would use the keyboard instead of the mouse.
MTME is a music discovery platform where people meet in random groups to discuss music and share tracks through YouTube and SoundCloud.

What distinguishes MTME from other music discovery apps out there is that it relies on recommendations from music curators and other people from all over the world to discover the latest tracks or hidden music gems.

Shouldn't it be mandatory for ICE car manufacturers to make hybrids only ? It would push the market up, simplify through less options and help ecology and health in the process.
This language looks wholely better and more unique (or at least once all the beam awesomeness is rewritten could be that), so those others retroactively become watered down versions that add nothing to the diversity of programming languages.

Functional Reactive Animation (1997)
This is just a test
this is test content
TP53 is activated by phosphorylation (i.e. the addition of a phosphoryl group to the enzyme). The enzymes which phosphorylate TP53 in turn respond to several types of stresses (e.g oxidation, membrane damage, heat) and a cascade of checkpoints that respond to different kinds of DNA damages.

Furthermore, there's an additional protein (HDM2) that binds to TP53 in healthy cells and deactivates TP53.
You think there's any stack that will last for 20 years?

In the last 20 years I've gone from writing desktop applications using RAD tools, to websites using no tools, to web apps using frameworks, to mobile apps using IDE's, to mobile apps using web app tools.

In the same period we've seen the rise and fall of Object Orientation, the fall and rise of Imperative/Structured Programming, and the burgeoning new age of Functional and Reactive/Declarative Programming.

Also Agile came and devolved back to Scrum Only, and waterfall never stopped being the default.

All version control systems got converted to Git.

SQL fell out of fashion for being too complex and then everyone worked out why all that complexity was needed.

You can't be in this industry for 20 years and work on one stack writing the same sort of applications ;) Maybe five years, tops.

I think you are out of luck at the moment, I use HSBC which I don't really like but seems to be the least awful of the high street banks.

"The CIA even sabotaged a planned series of documentaries about their predecessor, the OSS, by having assets at CBS develop a rival production to muscle the smaller studio out of the market. Once this was achieved, the Agency pulled the plug on the CBS series too, ensuring that the activities of the OSS remained safe from public scrutiny."
I think the confusion is that socialism is used to refer both the economic policies as well as political policies, which are actually orthogonal to each other..

In the case of China it is socialism in political policies but very capitalist in economic policies.

Sweden is socialism in the economic sense but politically it values freedom much more than China , you will see this if you notice the differences in tax rates in Sweden vs China.
Well, if you count this way then elephants have 40 copies. While talking about number of genes in mammals diploidy is usually implicitly assumed.
Ha! CCP don't give any shit about creativity.

They want to be in control, including controlling creativity.

In fact, if you're a Chinese people like me, you probably learned CCP's "Three Represents" when you in mid school. Which is:

- "Represents advanced social productive forces" stands for economic production

- "Represents the progressive course of China's advanced culture" stands for cultural development

- "Represents the fundamental interests of the majority" stands for political consensus

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Represents

What that said is:

- We (CCP) decide what is important to this country

- We decide what you can do when you're boring

- We decide what you can have (and your needs)

So, I won't be surprised one day we had that Sea Ban thing and what's followed all over again.

I agree the article overplays it. Any organization, be it governmental, corporate or private, would probably do the same. If you want their help and they aren't in the business of movie making, are going to probably refuse it if it casts them in a light they don't like.

Hollywood is fully capable, I'm certain, of providing mock-ups and stand ins for much of what the military provides. I'm sure when it comes to the bottom-line though, this is a much better deal from them.

I just don't see a vast propaganda conspiracy.

Well, I don't know about half of these programming languages. However:

- ADA requires garbage collection

- Modula-2 and Object pascal have manual memory management, i.e.: "new" and "delete" - together with double-free, use-after-free, and dangling pointers...

I agree that C is by far worse, but please recognize that at least some of the undefined behavior problems are really hard to solve.

Parallel parking might be better, this was for reversing into a space

I noticed it did fine when two cars were present for it to use as a guide, maybe being able to use the cars as markers helps?

And as far as I know the car is "connected" via 4G (ODB data and remote controls are available in an online portal) but I don't think it's used for OTA updates (The last update I saw was for Android Auto integration and that was done by visiting a dealer)
Lag economically? For censoring overtly gay content homemade by some people trying get money from advertising or just searching for attention on social media?

You can have an issue with this attacking some personal freedoms, but thinking that some people showing their gay/rich/silly/whatever lifestyle in order to get some likes in FB or some ad money in Youtube affects the economy is just disingenuous.

They are indeed making a breaking change in that some new code will not be valid previously, and some old code will not be valid after.

They are totally correct that since everything interfaces with each other, this is not a problem in practice. But they are worried about the stupid knee-jerk negative publicity that well occur—I don't dispute that.

But this is extra complexity to pander to idiots.

Apartment builders won't start putting in charging stations until they see residents wanting to plug in. For cars intended to last for years it makes sense to put the plug in now - installing charging stations in existing parking lots is more practical than adding plugs to existing cars.

>Can we please standardize charging stations to not require a person to manually establish a connection? It seems that it would pose such an awkward and unnecessary hurdle.

It's a total non-issue in practice. Inductive charging has barely made an impact for mobile phones, because plugging in a cable just isn't a big chore. It very quickly becomes an automatic habit that requires no conscious effort.
