The guys in the video are mostly correct.

The problems with the lost generation are sophisticated, partially caused by the lack of education, but also the wrecked economy at Mao's era, worse than that of North Korea these days. Even worse, Mao blindly followed Russia to encourage baby booming, and there were consecutive 3-year natural disasters around 1960, consequently all these caused severe national wide food shortage. Lots of people died of starvation, for the rest, they had to do everything to just survive, regardless the means were either moral or evil. That's where the lost generation came from. Would they care Confucius? of cause not, part of Mao's culture r8n actually encouraged them to somehow not to believe in the traditional culture, of many that includes Confucius.

Fast forward to now, people of the lost generation are mostly retired and free, and some also have the money to tour around, definitely not all, but given the overall population that's a huge number of people, especially when compared to other places in the world, no wonder they were called locust in HK.

Luckily, things improved a lot, both the education system and economy wise, that's why you can see the young generation, who you probably communicated with, are mostly kind, or at least much better compared to the lost generation, and they'll bring even better education and economy to the following generations. I'm holding a good faith, and hopefully so are you.
I'm from Bucharest, Romania. The average price here is something like $0.35 / Km and the price I'm paying for a ride is somewhere between $2.5 and $5.

And that's the price of Uber as well, which can go up in rush hour, but we now have Taxify as well, which I prefer because their prices are more predictable.

So when you're saying that you paid $200 for 30 rides, that seems expensive to me.

Right I'm no biologist, but my understanding is that there's vast amount of dna that doesn't really do anything (doesn't encode any proteins). I don't remember why... maybe it used to do stuff a long time ago.
It may work if during one administration they planned a program that is coherent and actually funded. All the initiatives over the last decade(s?) didn't make sense and were not even funded. In short, they didn't even try.

For some reason the unmanned missions are managed much better. I do a lot of reading about them and all the decisions, trade offs and plans seem to be the result of careful and realistic planning.
Who Needs Hard Drives? Scientists Store Film Clip in DNA
In the USA, nearly all airfares are changeable, even those that are sold as "non-changeable". In Europe, that's different -- the lowest fare class is often "use it or lose it", with the ticket becoming worthless if you don't get on the flight you booked. If you want to stop airlines from overbooking, then you need to stop travelers from changing their plans and leaving seats empty on the plane.

You can talk about overbooking as "profit motive" for the airline, but airlines traditionally make very low margins. Air travel is a classic oligopoly, where a large number of competitors offer goods that are practically indistinguishable (Coke vs. Pepsi, Shell vs. Exxon, United vs. Delta) -- these industries are characterized by fierce price competition. Ultimately, any decrease in revenue from one source will be reflected in higher average ticket prices.

An airline industry that didn't overbook would be one where either everyone pays significantly more for their tickets, or where most tickets become truly non-changeable, as in you have to buy a totally new ticket if you change your travel date or time.

Honestly, a system like this, where the airline can do yield management transparently, days or weeks before departure, when people have time to weigh their options and make alternate plans, makes tremendous sense and does a lot to allocate costs to those who are willing to pay, keeping things less expensive for those who aren't.
There's no such thing as human etiquette, only a specific culture's etiquette. Many behaviours that are perfectly normal in your culture would be unspeakably rude in mine and vice-versa. From the perspective of my overcrowded island in the north Atlantic, Americans are often unbearably loud and brash; to Americans, we often come across as cold, distant and unfriendly. Travel is a skill that has to be learned - we aren't born with the ability to quickly acclimatise to different cultures.

FreeBSD has moved to llvm.
I don't get it either. When it comes to manned spaceflight rationality goes out the window. Humans living on Mars makes about as much sense as homeopathy. I think it's some kind of nerd religion.

It's not a matter of political talk being "hurtful" or not.

It's that every damn thing these days has a political angle. And most people are sick of it.
I went to Yangshuo before Nanning, it's a little more confining and touristy but mostly Shanghainese, not Westerners. Turpan is like a cross between Urumqi and Kashgar, in the sense that it has a high uighur population, much more uighur culture and architecture, but still identifiably a Chinese city. Also, many Uighurs in that area tend to speak surprisingly good English, which is good because their Mandarin accent can be a bit thick,

To me, when you get to Kashgar you start to feel more like you're Central Asia.

>Space hostile

Earth is hostile, too. A large part of human civilization is dedicated to making Earth more hospitable for humanity than it is in its natural state. We can do the same for space.

>Space empty

Only in a sense that a large container with a single fist-sized diamond is empty. It is empty on average. It contains an incredible amount of resources. Our solar system could easily house trillions of people (in O'Neill cylinders).

>for example in projects which research aging, cancer, overpopulation and disaster management in face of global warming

We already spend much more on these, than on space research.
The airlines do have a good safety valve: offering people increasing amounts of money (not vouchers, but actual currency) until they get enough passengers who prefer the money to traveling on that flight. They just don't want to use it.
No need to beat them up. The new robots are licensed to dispense tranquilizers so the passengers become compliant.

Not sure if it's because I've recently accumulated enough karma but I have a "topcolor" field in my settings page where I can pop in a hex code and change the banner color. Mine has been #C0ffee ever since that "hex codes that make words" articles was on the front page here.

So an extension seems like overkill. But I get it's about the statement so, whatever floats your boat I guess.
It isn't racism at all, literally no one claims ethnically Chinese people from anywhere other than mainland China behave like this.

Some people have to think rather than just regurgitating propaganda, this is a real problem.

No, because DRM + DMCA has repeatedly been used to violate consumers' and researchers' fair use rights. It's my right to lock my house, unless you're inside it and I'm effectively turning it into a prison.

All road signs have pinyin (Romanised pinyin). The usefulness is limited as it lacks tones, but is something you can get used to.

GPS is in everything. So hailing a taxi via an app is a not huge issue largely. And wherever you go you can use Baidu maps to tell you where you are vs. where you need to be.

Subways are fine for an English speaker, as long as you know where you're going and check the interchange. Rush hours may be a little crowded.

As long as you've done your research where you want to go, you should be OK. Wouldn't do it with family until getting used to doing so for a few days. eChinaCities should be avoided as their despite their Google et al search listings being very high, are mainly paid content. Find a website local for the city, e.g. is in Beijing then thebeijinger.com should be fine.

Do not follow someone with good English pretending to take you somewhere like a tea shop, restaurant or art gallery, or really anywhere. Don't say the nation you're from, just be assertive in refusal.

That's the four biggest pools (to get a consistent > 50% it might not even be enough) who need to collude. That's not very centralized. Of course the situation could be better, but it's still in a good place imo. It's better than it has been historically for example when a single pool (GHash.IO) approached 50% by itself.
I used to dabble in real-time ray tracing. My box is from 2005 though so it was never really great. These chips should easily do moderate complexity scenes at 720p and 60fps, and that's just an 8 core. Figure 1080p 60fps with 16 cores. But then we'll go 4K and turn on a lot more features and slow it down to a crawl again...
DBC 2013 alumnus here.

I'm super disappointed to hear this news. Although I could see it coming, because how often does this kind of thing NOT happen when a small company gets purchased by a larger corporation?

DBC was quite an institution. As I've stated before, it's not about what they can teach you – it was simply an invaluable resource to allow those with ambition to figure out aspects of app development on their own and with other people. If you're expecting a series of lectures, exams, and knowledge to be bestowed upon you at DBC, you're looking at it wrong and you will fail. To have a place to go where you can spend months hacking on things with other people while going through a learning process, right in the center of the action in technology, was so unique and valuable. I met so many cool people and had far greater experiences than my time in college. It changed my life tremendously. I have Shereef and everyone whom I shared my experience with to thank! I really could be living in a van down by the river right now if I didn't discover DBC.

The greatest thing I got out of DBC was not coding ability, which I mostly picked up on my own, but a mindset/philosophy about learning and problem-solving. I know that many of these things come naturally to people software engineering, especially those far more brilliant than I, but not everyone figures these things out. They summed it up as the "growth" mindset vs. the "fixed mindset", which seems fairly accurate to me.

I really hope someone can continue(or at least hold a candle to) DBC's legacy. A lot of bootcamps seem like junk, but I'm sure that's not all of them.
Isn't this what happens in Europe because of some regulations? I recall being involuntarily bumped from a US-bound flight in the UK once and they handed me cash. Well, they handed me a voucher which I had to take to a specific window in the airport where they put euro bills in my hands.
Yes, they just need steady funding and a process that ensures that the money is spent on worthwhile stuff. After plans have been vetted then the politicians can come in and distribute the money to their districts.
Same here. And I distinctly remember asking a math teacher in middle school if a number was a perfect square and we manually ended up checking and incrementing numbers until we decided that the number was not. It makes me think that this was possibly not such a common task to assign in school?
Do you want to build a safer basket ? Or invest in two baskets and split your eggs ?
To some extent that is one argument, however space research in it's own right has generated a safer basket as well, as most engineering research is highly reusable. A lot of environmental problems for example could be solved via space based power generation that is beamed down.
Fantasy is my jam.

The hottest kid on the block at the moment (deservedly, or not, depending who you ask) is Patrick Rothfuss and his Kingkiller Chronicles. Although, the 3rd of the trilogy has been long awaited with no release in sight. If your willing to read 2 and wait for the 3rd, I personally highly recommend it.

Brent Weeks' Night Angel Trilogy is fantastic, if you like "dark fantasy". So is the Mistborn series.. Another decent one is The Lies of Loch Lamora, I forget the author.

I have plenty more.. But highly recommend going to Goodreads and spending some time searching there. They've gone beyond "Fantasy" and have several sub-genres to help narrow the search.

Other fiction, non-fantasy books, I can't say. I almost exclusively read fantasy.
You want to outsource an incredibly ambitious space program to another country? That'll never happen and I don't know if it should either. Parts of it can be outsourced for sure, but that's it. Like Europe taking over parts of some space projects. Russia being paid for deliveries.

The veneration of the "startup" mentality and lifestyle above all else, threads regularly masturbating over things like seasteading projects, regularly excusing corporate malfeasance via appeals to private property ("it's their website, they can do what they want") or freedom of association ("if the ladies don't like the working environment, they should find different jobs"), valorizing companies for bending or breaking laws and regulations in service of private profit…

Nope, everything is fine. HN and the broader community it fits in and sustains is a bastion of progressive liberalism.
You can blame Congress. Congress insists on zip-code engineered space hardware whose primary mission is to ensure profit for contractors in their districts. The Administration, no matter who heads it, generally doesn't buy that approach, which is why you see the old programs scrapped (because they weren't going anywhere).

(Putting the Earth-science thing aside for the moment.) It really is a mostly non-partisan divide, here.

NASA has its own problems. A culture of risk averseness that is incompatible with new approaches like reusable rockets (although NASA will use them if they're proven by others). A culture of safety-uber-alles which is even more incompatible with expanding the capability of human space exploration in particular.

But for all that, NASA still accomplishes great things. NASA has been critical for the success of SpaceX (around 2008 in particular) and even has helped Blue Origin considerably. NASA has completed the International Space Station (the largest spacecraft ever built by far) and kept it inhabited since 2000. No one under the age of 20 remembers a time when there wasn't at least a couple people aboard the Space Station. This program has built up a level of experience with long-term human spaceflight that, in aggregate, exceeds all other such programs. We have experience manufacturing in space and leveraging ISS for launching commercial satellites (Planet.com in particular), helping pave the way for the current wave of smallsat launchers.

There are now half a dozen active satellites (half from NASA, but all with assistance from NASA) in orbit around Mars, two active on its surface, plus a probe around dwarf planet Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, and another probe, New Horizons, which has visited Pluto for the first time and is now on its way to other destinations deeper in the solar system. This is all just scratching the surface of NASA's accomplishments in this time.
(And next year are slated the launch of two commercial crew vehicles that NASA has been funding, SpaceX's Dragon 2 and Boeing's Starliner.)
Unraveling the mystery of party parrot
Support for Riak is available commercially (we at Erlang Solutions are a support provider - and were a Riak reseller) and there is a decent-sized community that will step up and ensure Riak survives and evolves, I'm sure.

No. I would, however, pay for a weekly summary of all important information from the world and places that interest me. Just facts, no opinions, no spins. I am sick and tired of clickbaits, sensationalism, tabloid news, blowing things out of proportion and commentary of people who know next to nothing about the particular issue.

Don't get me wrong, I love good commentary, but I want facts first. Then I can choose to read commentary if I think that's worth it.
By far the biggest reason why Chinese tourists act the way they do is because most of them are not even one generation removed from the villages. Most have not gone to university, maybe not even high school. Westerners can look down their noses all they want but when their countries were 70% agrarian, most people were pretty uncouth too.

Culture changes. Once two generations of Chinese have lived in affluent urban settings, their manners will converge with those of other developed countries.
> The most upsetting part is when the author brags about how Clojure programs can manipulate itself at run-time, on a website that's literally called "Clean Coder Blog". Self-modifying code is a clear opposite of clean code.

This is a Lisp macro. Macros are a powerful form of abstraction. Abstractions are what us programmers create to reduce complexity and clean code.

One just needs to be mindful of how this powerful tool is wielded, just like any other tool; you can make a mess with anything.
You could have said the same thing about literally any exploratory initiative since humans first started using tools 50 000 years ago. Spending some tiny portion of resources expanding the scope of human presence does not preclude attacking more immediate challenges.
I think you need to reread the article. "Conventional multi-junction solar cells" are mentioned in a quote from the lead author of the study.
"This press release, when you read the details, is not very impressive."

This press release, like all high end / performance car press releases of the last 2-3 years, can be summed up as:

"blah blah, not electric, blah blah"

Like you, I am an ex-A8 owner who loved (loved!) those cars and have no interest in buying another one - no matter how nice or feature filled or well-designed they are. There's no way they don't know this and it becomes more and more stupefying that they cede this highest-of-margins segment to Tesla.

"Oh, and from the testing I've done this winter, the Tesla AWD system is at least as good as quattro. Probably better."

Exactly - it has two motors.

My disappointment is wide and deep as the major manufacturers continue to refuse to make a modern car. However it is Audi and Volvo in particular whose inaction is truly mind-blowing. Audi because they could continue to own AWD/4WD and volvo because their target market is ripe for the aesthetic and social benefits of electric cars.

Instead, Audi has spent ten years going down the "in 2-3 years we'll have an electric platform" and volvo has committed to a shitty-hybrids-with-lawnmower-engines-inside platform for the next 8-10 years.
> If it in any other industry people would be arrested.

Hotels and cruise ships (at the least) do exactly the same thing. They're all essentially gambling, and they win most of the time, so people don't really get angry enough to make an issue of it.
What does the wattage of a solar farm represent? The article says it's expected to produce 55 million kwh per year, but doesn't that imply 6.3MW ((55 000 000 / (365 * 24)) / 1000) of constant production?

When NASA funds private sector projects, the people aren't the funding, the money is. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point. I don't get what you're saying.
I gloriously await from teenage hackers 10 years from now release CRISPR viruses/worms that insert GIF meme pranks into the human population germ line, eventually triggering the apocalypse.

Fair enough, although those types of things seem like they'd need to be explicitly written, not auto-generated by a compiler (like the ones described as existing for Scala)
