The lower gravity and lack of oxygen make launching things with maglev sleds into orbit feasible. There have been a number of studies of a launch rail with a reusable 'bucket' carrier that would be built along an incline for a suitable orbit. The bucket would be accelerated electromagnetically along the rail, imparting sufficient energy to put the contents of the bucket into orbit which would be circularized at apogee with a small rocket burn.
The rail would be powered by an array of solar panels and batteries, or possibly a flywheel similarly to the way the EMALS[1] system was designed.

Landing is the challenge on the moon as there isn't anything to push against or dump energy into. I don't know if anyone has considered a space elevator, I expect keeping it in position would be a challenge given the orbital dynamics involved.

I hope to write to you in more depth at a later date, but for now forgive me with just a short remark. If your children (like me in elementary school) only (want to) spend time with their Japanese school friends and not their American school friends after school and on weekends or fort birthday parties and whatnot, expect them to have some level of difficulty in the social microcosm of American elementary school (like I did). Obviously anecdotal, and not being in a tiny private school (50 students per grade) might help ameliorate things.
Their satellites have a one dimensional sensor that scans continuously.
Short answer: dunno.

Other answer: do you optimize every aspect of your life? I highly suspect a large company run by humans would do that.

Anyone remember the "6 Million Dollar Man"? Steve Austin had an arm and both legs replaced with bionic ones with super powers. He'd do thinks like break handcuffs by spreading his arms.

But only one of his arms was bionic. It would have just ripped the other hand off. Similarly, his running at superspeed would have just shattered his spine.

I.e. you can't increase the power of the engine without increasing the strength of the drive train.
Yeah, with most technologies all the most useful applications are, well, more boring by the time you get them than what people imagine beforehand.

I imagine some of the best augmentation tech is going to be about diagnostic data and about coaxing/training our bodies away from maladaptive states. Consider already-existing stuff like insulin pumps or anti-seizure implants. Extend that to dealing with obesity, panic attacks, allergies...

What a coincidence, I attended Saniku from kindergarten to 3rd grade, many decades ago (then I switched to Saturday school which was less academically demanding).

I'm happy to hear that your children are enjoying the school. I think their Bible Study sessions before class helped me gain some Judao Christian cultural knowledge that serves me well to this day.

Yes, you can do it that way. But then you'll need a "context pointer" to pass references to the locals it'll need, and the function will need to be located "someplace else", meaning it is not encapsulated.

I've done that for years with C and C++. Nested functions are so much nicer and clearer.

Interesting!

For me, French is the language I like to be negative in. It's not a language I'm native-level fluent in, but I'm at the level where I can carry out those mental self-conversations you have with yourself when thinking in French as well.

In french, negating a statement involves two words sandwiched around the verb (usually ne...pas, e.g. "il ne trouve pas"). I think for me this gives the negation a lot more "weight". It's hard to explain (and I'm not even sure if this is the explanation, it's more of a guess). But if I'm thinking a strongly negative statement I'll often think it in French.

There aren't that many things for which this happens for me, most kinda of thoughts get expressed in no particular one of the languages for me. But most strong negatives happen in French (and certain kinds of questions happen in my non-English native language).

I wonder if it's just a coincidence or something special about negative statements going on here.

To a first order, it's about how much time you invest into each skill. For me, a non Latin language didn't have noticeable spillover effects into English until much later in my life when I developed decently advanced linguistic proficiency in both languages.

This isn't to say I didn't do well in school -- I was at the top of my class in high school and went to the top ranked university in the country. Still, had I invested more time trading and writing English material during my childhood and adolescence, those skills would have developed much earlier.

And I agree with you about sports. I'm an advanced or white level athlete in 4 or 5 sorts, and it's very easy for me to become producer at a new sport, and I often notice body control, posture, focus, or valance related carryovers.
Try using long path tool . It worked for me. I hope it helps.
All the store data is kept inside a directory, the hash of which is mapped to your peer ID using IPNS. This enables all store data to be downloaded and authenticated using the peer ID.

Any change to the contents of your directory causes the root hash to change and the IPNS mapping is republished.

Mappings a numbered so when looking up a store via it's ID nodes will always use the most recent mapping they can find.

Republishing the IPNS root breaks the caching that accumulated on the root, but all objects inside the directory that haven't changed retain their caching.

> If I was a large nation state with a very large population, it would be very easy to take over another smaller nation by just migrating a huge population to that country. This was used by the USSR post-takeover in many of their satellite states.

That is always true. Its called an invasion, and the rules of warfare and immigration are pretty different.

> Looking at state-to-state movement restrictions is silly because all of the said population is under the same federal jurisdiction, same constitution, and same supreme court system.

When a foreigner enters the us, he is under the same federal jurisdiction, constitution and supreme court system. There is no conflict of law. There is conflict of interest, only if you portray the issue as an us vs them.

> I can promise you that the Netherlands doesn't want 20 million far right fundamentalist christians moving there and influencing policy. San Francisco doesn't want a few million Wahhabi Saudi's saying that gays should be beheaded. Small Pacific islands don't want a few million Chinese showing up and claiming their area as new territory.

The netherlands doesn't want anything, because it's not a person. San francisco is a city, it doesn't have a will or a life. Individuals want things and do what they can to do it. If a bigot or an intolerant wants to move to San Francisco, who the hell is a government official in san francisco to forbid him to do it. Funny you mention SF that has a movement to kick out software developers and startups, because it's "destroying the culture of the city".

If 1 million saudi conservatives move to san francisco, they would pay so much money to achieve such a ridiculous demographic goal that the residents will have plenty of money to move and change another city to their own liking. That is, unless they are forbidden to do it by another government official.

You don't necessarily need 10x effort (depending on your definition of "effort").

I'm a Hongkonger. I had lived in Montreal since I was 10 until I finished my bachelor's degree.

I didn't really do Saturday schools. I tried that for one or two years but those really had no effect on my proficiency in Chinese.

Yet, I can confidently say that I'm fluent in four languages, if you count Mandarin and Cantonese as separate languages.

What you really need is motivation and environment.

For me, I was motivated to become good in English and French because I found Québécoises girls really attractive, so I naturally paid attention in English and French classes. I also had the environment because I was introduced, by my cousin, to play with Québécois kids early on in elementary school. I simply did not stick with other Hongkonger kids.

I also liked Chinese literature like Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Jinyong's wuxia novels. So I just grabbed a Chinese dictionary and continued to learn Chinese on my own. I liked watching imperial court drama produced in Mainland China, so I watched a lot and learned my Mandarin accent that way. I don't regard that as "spending effort".

I still spoke Cantonese with my family so I got my mother tongue covered. Again, that's not effort.

The OS python is there to satisfy other OS dependencies, and only occasionally for you.

If you care about the Python version, you are much better off with an independent python install, I personally recommend conda - it lets you run different python versions for different uses, all shielded from OS upgrades (whether minor dist-upgrade or complete distribution change -- or $DIETY forbid joining a Redmond religion).

I have heard good things about Enthought Python, but don't have experience with it. And you can always build the latest yourself and build a .dpkg for your company.

That threshold might be higher than you realize. I could read a Chinese news article reasonably well -- except for all the words that actually relate to the topic.

Each language essentially has a collection of mostly separate vocabularies that only apply in certain situations, but to avoid communication problems, you need to handle any situation you might encounter. If you have a somewhat diverse set of interests, that can be quite a lot.

Cost overruns might be high right now, but I prefer that to a system that disproportionately forces the poor and people of color to be removed from society for (often) years at a time awaiting trial, whether or not they or guilty.
From my experience:

(1) at least have something to show. The closer you are to having a 100% mvp ready, the more likely you are to get a yes.

(2) have at least one paying customer or at least a list of likely customer prospects. When you get a yes from a cofounder, their runway starts burning away. The farther you are from your first dollar, the more likely that you and your co-founder will break up in the near future.

Best of luck!
Well, yeah, but the rest of the article doesn't seem to use that definition of "true" bilingual? Because it just talks about immersion with native speakers. Either the article didn't deliver as advertised -- had a hook about "true" bilingualism (whatever that is), and then went on to explain how to raise a "regular" bilingual child. Or the article really just meant "regular" bilingualism and wrong in stating that it is rare.

(Or perhaps I just have a very skewed sample set and even "regular" bilingualism is rare)

Idk. Overall this article didn't sit well with me, for more reason than one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14830685).
If you haven't tried a couple of weeks of barefoot (Vibram Five Fingers, Vivo Barefoot or any of that kind), I highly recommend it.

With regular cushioned shoes, you get in the habit of putting all your weight on your heel in one strike, which -- even with the cushioning -- sends the impact through your knees.

The first couple of days with my Vibrams felt very weird and impactful on the knee (I went all in, you might want to ease in at a couple hours/day first if you do) - but then your body gets used to walking on the balls of your feet, using the heel joint as a spring, and basically saving all impact from your knees -- it makes a huge difference, even if you don't do it all the time; I find I lose the spring action after a few months without them, but then a couple of days are enough to jog the muscle memory.

Only if the escrow resolves a dispute. The escrow agent doesn't actually learn of the transaction if all goes well.

As to the rest of the questions, the arbitration is a bit ad hoc at the moment.

The vendor selects the escrow agent he's willing to use and offers that as part of a "bundle" with product.

If the buyer doesn't know the escrow agent or doesn't trust him then he should not buy.

Obviously, having reputable escrow agents will be critical and there currently isn't any good in-app way of evaluating the reputation of the escrow.

Currently people tend to bring their reputations in from other platforms and use other platforms to recommend trusted escrows.
Regarding that research, I can see that human interaction should more efficient but that doesn't imply that screen time should be ineffective. And my kid is a counterexample, because it did bootstrap her English. She had no other source since we live in Argentina and we practically didn't talk to her in English. For a while she had some serious British accent because she was hooked on Peppa Pig, but now she sounds mostly American.
I'd go a little further than Wikipedia however - in my book you need to have a variable that represents more variables. In Java you can do this with a class and an object of that class. In C you can do this with a struct. Both languages are capable of being OOP. Now, in both languages you can also make mistakes, as a programmer. In Java I can decide to make a class called "Monitor" that has a bunch of static methods to control the monitor... such as on/off, change resolution, etc... I would personally consider that a poor design, because while in 1990 a computer had 1 monitor, in 2017, a computer may have unlimited monitors (think controlling monitors over a network for example).

We can make the same mistake of assuming a single monitor in Java or C, but both languages can also easily support multiple monitors ;)

For someone escaping a war torn country, finding a wall he cant surpass to escape death and destructive would surely be oppressive. He wants to do something that provokes no harm, and a state is telling him he can't. If you don't like that they represent a cost to the german state, you can take it up to the idea of welfare, and if you removed completely for the people that entered the country, they would still go to germany, because where they come from the situation is much worse.

The case for germany to still provide financial support is that is a huge long term benefit that is tax beneficial, especially for a country with demographic issues. My understanding is that there are reports that justify the tax investment.

> If we didn't, how many more people are we supposed to take in?

This is the point : you are not supposed to take in anyone, the state shouldnt decide whatsoever what individuals do with their lives. The state doesn't own these people and neither does it own you. If you dont want to provide foreigners with resources then don't. Foreigners cant vote for such measures even if they wanted them.

With free passage, you would not even know how many peope pass, and it would have a marginal cost to the state (and a much higher benefit!)

You're right, but I tend to think oversimplifying in the opposite direction to the trends of the last half century or so is warranted. The biggest problem I'd say we're facing today is people categorizing food into good and bad buckets, even if there is some truth to it.

Thanks for clearing up this mystery. Yeah, to me the original article headline was just fine. I think there is a bit of a problem when HN users change headlines when posting articles...cutting even a little bit can change the meaning significantly.
Agriculture accounts for a third of worldwide carbon emissions. So energy still isn't abundant enough to fuel 10x humans, unless you change the fuel source from food to something more efficient.

Getting a first job as a VC analyst is pretty achievable.
It is pretty much a 3 years and out kinda job so any VC firm that has an analyst who's been there 2+ years will be hiring soon.

Typical background: Major in business/finance, or CS/engineering; whichever side you don't do, get some exposure to the other side - teach yourself to code or take an accounting basics class.

Get involved in the local startup ecosystem - volunteer at a demo day or a local tedx event, intern at a startup, something like that. Get to know a lot of people in this world. Maybe write a couple blog posts with insights about some upcoming markets.

Generally, you want to show that you get both tech and business pretty well, and also seem like someone who's eager to work hard to prove themselves and that lots of people seem to know.
Anything else would be second hand though. Sometimes I feel the need to research something for myself and it's important that some people do that. Watching allows me to answer questions like, "What is the message they are trying to get across in these videos?" "Do the videos match up to the descriptions given by the media?" These are important questions to answer.
Probably from Wales, although depending on where in the principality he lived, the accent may be quite interesting, and while British, certainly not most people's stereotypical idea of a British accent.

If he lived in Whales, then (if Octonauts is to be believed) the accent could be Texan (Bowhead Whales), English RP (Orca Whales or Sperm Whales), stereotypical Slavic accented English (Narwhals)
that is an interesting question. I actually don't think majority voting should be the final arbiter for the legitimacy of a government.

Chrome has profiles. I use multiple profiles for this. You can easily have two or more profiles loaded and running at the same time, and each has its own cookie jar/login set. When I need to do it on a borrowed computer, then I just use incognito mode for the second profile.

I also use chrome profiles to separate my workspaces, so I don't have to load everything all the time and search through my tabs to find the one I want. I even sync them to different accounts.

Mobile is the only place I use multiple browsers, due to mobile browsers not supporting multiple windows, even though chrome has already had the functionality for it in the past (remember the chrome 'desktop' when chrome ran in metro mode? Alternatively, just have multiple entries in overview). On my tablet I have six browsers, which is probably more than I really need; two incognito browsers and four mobile browsers. Various combinations of add-ons (firefox) and not (chrome), incognito (focus and inbrowser) browsers, and browsers (chrome) with JavaScript disabled.
