What I have heard from Germans is that it's pretty easy to be a neo-Nazi and convey neo-Nazi ideas in Germany, you just have to not use Nazi symbols. Don't call yourself a Nazi, just mumble something about patriotism and history, and don't use the swastika, and the government won't do anything.

So I'm not sure that the bright-line rule has really been lost in Germany.

(I'd appreciate being corrected about this by Germans if I have my facts wrong!)
Unfortunately, yes? Nobody made the decision to contribute to global climate change; it just kind of happened as an emergent consequence of the discovery of oil. Whereas a single country deciding to permanently tint the sky is not going to go over well with the global community, probably to the point of tanks on borders and missiles at ready.

Ok, we've put "engineering executive" in the title above.
This is a controversial topic, so I guess I'm risking massive downvotes, but...

I come from a country where being called a leftist is a compliment, and being called a rightist is generally viewed as an insult (being a centrist - like myself - also implies - in this country - that you're a rightist, go figure).

While the left has always resorted to violence and aggressive tactics (beating up professors who refused to yield to "student strikes" at universities, for example), they have always claimed the moral high ground. In the meantime, any public action or protest by the right (even moderate right) was generally viewed with scorn.

In other words, it was a mirror-image of the US. While the radical left in the US exists, it is mostly harmless, unlike the radical right.

Europe largely works as a mirror image of the US in that sense. In France, for example, people view as acceptable that workers conduct violent strikes, sometimes kidnapping and beating up managers, but any rightist manifestation is seen as an extreme danger.

It is good to see countries striving for a more neutral treatment of violent actions, from any ends of the political spectrum.

[Just in case it wasn't clear enough: antifas/radical-left in the US are pretty much a harmless joke, and by no means equivalent to the radical-right/extreme-right/alt-right/Nazis/white-supremacist/whatever threat]
I don't particularly understand the claims against this man, but as this organization and its discussions happen (almost) entirely online [is this correct?], surely it must be incredibly obvious whether or not allegations brought against him are true or not?

For me, I don't like to live on the edge, every decision I made in the US was dependent on my visa. Why should I risk and depend on my luck for US immigration's mercy when I have the skills ? I did not know the pitfalls of US broken immigration system when I came to the US. If I knew earlier, I would have immigrated somewhere else.

From TFA: "And in January 2016, the Interior Ministry ordered a ban on a right-wing website, “Altermedia Deutschland.”"

edit: located below (italics added) thanks. The environmental costs of launch are considered. I can't see the environmental impact of manufacture considered explicitly, though.

Abstract:

If it were to become apparent that dangerous changes in global climate were inevitable, despite greenhouse gas controls, active methods to cool the Earth on an emergency basis might be desirable. The concept considered here is to block 1.8% of the solar flux with a space sunshade orbited near the inner Lagrange point (L1), in-line between the Earth and sun. Following the work of J. Early [Early, JT (1989) J Br Interplanet Soc 42:567–569], transparent material would be used to deflect the sunlight, rather than to absorb it, to minimize the shift in balance out from L1 caused by radiation pressure. Three advances aimed at practical implementation are presented. First is an optical design for a very thin refractive screen with low reflectivity, leading to a total sunshade mass of ≈20 million tons. Second is a concept aimed at reducing transportation cost to $50/kg by using electromagnetic acceleration to escape Earth's gravity, followed by ion propulsion. Third is an implementation of the sunshade as a cloud of many spacecraft, autonomously stabilized by modulating solar radiation pressure. These meter-sized “flyers” would be assembled completely before launch, avoiding any need for construction or unfolding in space. They would weigh a gram each, be launched in stacks of 800,000, and remain for a projected lifetime of 50 years within a 100,000-km-long cloud. The concept builds on existing technologies. It seems feasible that it could be developed and deployed in ≈25 years at a cost of a few trillion dollars, <0.5% of world gross domestic product (GDP) over that time.

The American Geophysical Union is looking for feedback from its members on geo-engineering efforts like this right now. The draft statement is a good read:

I don't believe the US does nothing for their security, certainly in the case of South Korea and Japan I think the US has been both an asset and a burden. I'm just not certain that what the US does is entirely necessary, meaning I don't think it's impossible for the world to go on without American interference and it shouldn't be a unilateral decision on the part of the US to simply opt out.

If the US has treaty obligations that require its military engagement, then those need to be upheld, or else the US should try to renegotiate them. Otherwise, even if the security situation is made worse, the US should respect other countries' sovereignty if they want them gone.

~100 pills go for 20-30 GBP (depending on the brand, and strength), that's 20-30p per pill, it's not a nickel but it's not much more expensive (it's about a quarter on the lower end) and this is from online pharmacies without a real prescription (it's a self filled form "consultation") these usually take a premium since they know you aren't ordering those because an actual doctor prescribed them for you.

I'm pretty sure if you are actually prescribed these for diabetes by your GP you'll pay a fraction of that cost under the NHS.
One of the problems with thorium nuclear reactors is that they seem to be a perpetual "10 years" thing, and even with a huge increase in development funding we're probably 20+ years from viable commercial builds - and a lot further from getting a significant percentage of energy from them. By the time that can happen we're likely to see huge changes in renewables and even bigger changes in energy storage and usage efficiency.

Thorium may end up as a good viable option eventually, but I suspect that it'll probably never be more than a niche option for as long as most of us are likely to be alive.

Oh, and that 20 years? "Hi regulatory body, we'd like approval to build a brand new type of nuclear reactor in your state, close enough to a major population center for transmission losses to not be too high. What do we need to do to make that happen?"... And that's before you get to the billion+ of construction costs even if the new reactors only cost 10% of current designs.

Well we know we can curb even cocaine addicted rats (behavior) by offering a mutually exclusive option of the cocaine or sugar/sweetener. They don't exactly get into the microbiome, but in a separate study they do test the differences of high fat vs high sugar diets and the impact on the microbiome: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2894525/

The study showed the same preference using both saccharin –a calorie-free sweetener - and sucrose (natural sugar w/calories). The study was also performed on rats who had never been introduced to cocaine and those exposed and with addiction to the drug. Up to 94% of the rats preferred the sweetener.

>Seems like the leftwingers are the ones being actively discriminated against by the government(s).

It seems like left wing riots are much more common than right wing riots (in Europe and America) and those seem to draw the most attention from governments.

However, the reality is more complicated. Esp. in America, there are a ton of recent examples (2016 to present) of mayors / college admins telling police to stand down / avoid protecting right wingers from left wing violence. Plenty of Trump supporters have been punched (or worse) during rallies. People openly call for punching Nazis (which seems to be a blanket term for individuals for conservative sympathies).

Berkley? Evergreen? San Jose? The stand down orders are tantamount to a conspiracy to deprive right wing people of their civil rights and that's de jure discrimination if not active de facto discrimination.

It's tough because both sides can point to some injustice and correctly say that there's an element of ideological discrimination at-play. It's disappointing that calls to reduce political violence are equivocated with partisan positions.

As depressing as this seems, it does really seem to be the case. And it seems to be even more accentuated for non-programming jobs. At least in software, we have some kind of test (as flawed as it might be).
It wouldn't require global consent, just consent of the few global powers strong enough to do anything about it.

The NodeJS brand has the momentum necessary to build great things. If they squander it by cry-wolf-forking every time there is an internal disagreement, another JS engine (e.g. Chakra) will take the helm.
Not to mention how easy it is to filter auto-replies. If you receive an office with the strong "out of the office" or "vacation" within ten seconds of sending the email, you can be reasonably sure that it's an automated reply.
de facto and standard are basically opposites. Except when standard is used as a synonym for "the way things are due to some hegemony or similar situation".

My complaint is basically: fuck off with the Adobe in a thread about Gimp. If you think the Adobe program is better or must work with every possible instance of its files, or you just feel good to use a de facto standard, go use the Adobe program.

Gimp is its own thing; it is not an open source clone of Adobe Photoshop. Never has been.
By turning the "else if" into an "if" you introduce a silent bug when Color.yellow is added, since the final else clause would now have to deal with both blue and yellow correctly.

Adding a new member to the Color enum should break code that isn't written to handle it: which is any code written before Color.yellow was introduced.

Can somebody who understands the subject (or have read the paper more carefully than me) say how the moment of the shadow on the earth would be?

I'm not sure they really did a good comparison here. Cost comparing an 8-socket system with 2 cpus installed buying new vs buying broken phones on ebay isn't really fair. If I were going to for cheap compute, I'd look for used (or otherwise discounted) chromeboxes. No distributed UPS, but small and gigabit ethernet, reasonably current intel processors for good IPC, not terribly large.
We've added that above.
Sure, but I think it'll be very difficult to get the US, China, and Russia to agree on something as drastic as this before catastrophic climate-related events start taking place. (And let's not forget all the other nations with nuclear missiles. The playing field is a lot more level these days, for better or worse.)
Ask HN: What is the best resource out there keeping track of great tools?
Often a friend or a client will ask how to solve a particular business problem and I will have the right tool at their disposal which I have already used and tried. But if I have not been lucky to read about that tool or having used it, I might have not easily been able to offer a solution.

I'd love to find a place which has listed 100+ tools for different problems (marketing, project management, email, cloud storage, invoicing software, you name it) that I can browse and see what problems it solves.

Does anything come to mind? And besides Product Hunt, how do you stay up to date on new tools that can help you at work?

You're right about the CERN stuff, though recent efforts seem to have been made to split at least some of that out. I hope that it continues. I think, aside from anything else, that cling is a really cool project, and if it could be easily available more widely, that would be great.

I was being quite literal when I wrote "no need to maintain a compiled C++ part": of course, you probably do want to maintain /some/ extra layer! And, in that sense, I do think that cppyy lets you maintain just one set of bindings (not two); and, as in pybind11, the ultimate aim is to transparently translate any "vectors, or maps, or template arguments" into idiomatic Python: this is why cppyy has a 'Pythonization' API.

Perhaps there are just two slightly different niches: cppyy is good when you need more a interactive interface to C++, for prototyping or exploration (for example), because of its JIT nature; and pybind11 is good for building something more static in the longer term, and where you don't mind the cost of keeping the compiled part up to date with the relevant C++ API.

It's certainly an interesting space at the moment, and I do hope both projects keep the momentum up and keep innovating!
I taught myself and now design FPGAs for a living as well. Had 1 class in college that, like your experience, was totally opaque. But it sparked my curiosity.

Not sure I can advise exactly _how_; I'm usually strong at self learning. Just letting you know it's possible. Personally I'd start with IntelFPGA (formerly Altera) products; I found them easier to use.

The issue being addressed:

> The CO2 added to the atmosphere from burning 2 billion tons of rocket fuel cannot be negligible.

The quote from the abstract that addresses it:

> Second is a concept aimed at reducing transportation cost to $50/kg by using electromagnetic acceleration to escape Earth's gravity, followed by ion propulsion.

More detail later in the paper:

> Because of its enormous area and the mass required, shading from space has in the past been regarded as requiring manufacture in space from lunar or asteroid material and, thus, as rather futuristic. Here we explore quantitatively an approach aimed at a relatively near-term solution in which the sunshade would be manufactured completely and launched from Earth, and it would take the form of many small autonomous spacecraft (“flyers”).
I think that really depends upon the application. If you're using an FPGA because you need custom hardware but can't justify the cost of a full ASIC then by all means floor-plan (indeed you may need to to close timing at your desired frequency).

If you're building a soft-core CPU designed for a wide range of FPGAs and you can't make it go without a custom floor-plan then yes you're probably doing it wrong.
How about you, just as an exercise, compare the difference in velocities of the mass driver and the incoming space craft with the difference of velocities of a capsule docking at the ISS.

"Well-accepted" is a bit of a stretch. Maybe increasingly-accepted. Personally I favor the use of the singular they. There's precedent with "you" and it seems mostly preferable to alternatives like he/she or just picking arbitrary genders as was done here.

But I'm also not going to correct someone who doesn't use singular they (unless it's in a situation where they should be following a particular style guide that specifies it).

Yeah, we've got less than two billion years before the Sun expands enough to cook off our atmosphere. I suspect we will be extinct before that, however. As a collective, we're not very bright.
While the snark of this comment may push it into obscurity by those who hate snarky comments, I totally agree. I was surprised we could even still have Node.js after the huge Node.js vs io.js debacle. I think all of these arguments are about important issues, but they also can give a very negative impression to outsiders (not to mention how insiders aware of all the facts may feel).

That said, I am at least happy to see a he's going for a middle ground - he seems to be saying he won't step down, but he also looks like he's apologizing for anything he did wrong. Perhaps that's the best way to end the argument despite it not 100% pleasing either side

> US essentially defends the world, allowing other countries to spend money elsewhere.

The US doesn't “defend the world” by any stretch of the imagination. As for what it does commit to defending, well, other countries wouldn't let the US put the forces and facilities in their countries that the US wants there for global force protection of the US didn't also make a credible commitment to mutual defense; the US doesn't “defend the world” as a charitable service, it agrees to assist with the defence of select countries in order to contain others, secure access to key resources, and be in a position to project force to advance US interests anywhere in the world.
Eh, the design may be able to work without async reset. If the board level reset net causes the FPGA to reconfigure, then the real I/O reset is implicit anyway. In this case you do need to give initial values to registers so that the synthesis tool can figure out the initial state (it may not be able to infer it from the sync reset net alone).

I mean initial value like this in Verilog:

reg output_reg = 1'd1;

(or at the very least check that the synthesis tool did infer correctly).
