It's amazing to me that Russian espionage has been able to turn Western media against itself. Russia, China and every other advanced nation do the same things to the limits of their capability. Russia, in particular, killed a bunch of journalists over domestic intelligence operations, though. But people just eat up the stories about the US uncritically.

Use of Monero (XMR) is an interesting choice. Monero is quickly being adopted as the coin of choice on dark net markets due to its builtin anonymity features. But dedicated third party-services such as escrow, multi-sig, etc have not kept pace with user demand. There seems to be an open window of opportunity for Monero centric contracts and payments.

This is definitely an interesting POC and makes an interesting case for why XMR might be ideally suited technically for web microtransactions. With the obvious caveats about hijacking browser performance being opt-in only that others have pointed out of course. Keep going!

I must be like your parents. My brain feels hard wired to Emacs.
And here it would be creating a very insidious problem - representation (external format) disconnected from underlying data (internal format).

What I mean is, for example, this: when I see " in a comment, I know the browser is actually storing the " character somewhere in memory. I know that when I send this comment form, HN will receive " character. If I copy and paste the comment into my Emacs, and save it, I know my hard drive now stores the " character.

When external format gets completely disconnected from internal format, understanding anything about what happens with the data gets much more difficult.

I'm still waiting for Swift support on RHEL/CentOS. It's great that Swift finally runs on Linux, but my company has standardized on RHEL, so we can't run Ubuntu to get Swift support. If RedHat rolled out RPMS for Swift that would make my life SO much easier!
Right, this is what people always say about Arch. And yet, in practice, on a variety of hardware, I've had nary a problem in the four years I've been using it. Contrast this with big-release distros, where I've literally never had a successful upgrade between major versions. But maybe the key point is in your second sentence. I've never had a problem with Gnome breaking because I have no interest in running a DE, and even on those systems where I've got one installed, I boot to the console and start i3 or sway. If Gnome was broken, I'd never notice.

And this might be the key point: if a package like Gnome is broken, I personally blame the package rather than the OS. I don't see a GUI desktop as integral to the operating system, so when I say that Arch has been trouble-free, I mean that I'm always able to boot to a usable system console and get my work done. So that's my disclaimer, and probably the big reason people shouldn't use Arch: if you rely on a DE, and see the system as broken without one, you're probably going to experience way more breakage than I've reported.
This is true, but I think we also see a lot of Windows issues that have no obvious gain for Microsoft, to the extent that it definitely seems like incompetence is a common source for issues over malfeasance. It is possible Microsoft is vastly smarter than I give them credit and has carefully buried their malfeasance in their incompetence, but I don't think we have any evidence of nearly that much cleverness on Microsoft's part any time recently. ;)

> It just works and during all these years my system was never left broken after an update

I find that very hard to believe. While I am still running Arch (gotta love those shiny new features), updates did break something minor fairly frequently due to occasionally incompatible updates, e.g. a missing symbol in a shared object.

Luckily there was only one time where something major broke which took me a few hours to fix.
I can't decide if it's cool or terrible to spend so much time on this.
The Falcon Heavy is basically attaching 3 boosters together in a line. Unfortunately for your vision, the Falcon Heavy boosters separate and land one-by-one as individual boosters.

Your idea does make some intuitive sense. While lifting the single booster and even with just one of 9 engines turned down to minimum throttle, when the payload is gone and the tanks are near empty there's an enormous excess of power. The minimum thrust-to-weight ratio is still like 2:1. This means you have to run a "hoverslam" profile which reaches zero velocity precisely at the deck, otherwise you'll take off again. And it means you come in terrifyingly hot and fast, resulting in the explosions in the linked video.

With 7 boosters strapped together, you'd think there could be a more appropriate ratio of power and mass, which would enable a more controlled, sedate, hover-and-land profile. If the current 40% throttled down single-engine, single-booster TWR is 2:1, 3 engines would give you a 0.86:1 to 2.14:1 TWR. They could even turn on 3 engines at the outer corners in an equilateral triangle, and use both gimballing and differential thrust to control your descent.

It should be easy. You'd just get some struts and select hexagonal symmetry...oh wait, no, that's KSP. In reality, landing 7 boosters at once with a near-unity TWR would be much more expensive in terms of fuel. You want a hoverslam profile that's almost too fast to control, because then you can get your payload higher and faster. Right now, with the single 9-engine booster, they sometimes burn 3 of the 9 engines to land (giving a >6:1 power-to-weight ratio). They do this when they're short on fuel because for every second that they are airborne, they're suffering a 9.8 m/s hit to their delta-V. They want to come down as fast as possible to minimize time in the air.
> I even migrated my install in-place from x86 to amd64 after upgrading the CPU

My hat is off to you -- I would have guessed that wasn't possible!
I honestly cannot remember how long I had Arch installed on my main system, but I replaced it with Mint about a year ago, and I have files in my home folder dating back to 2007, so give or take around 9 years.

So I would definitely say I "got it", but I just couldn't be arsed to do it anymore. I'm not really into unpaid sysadmin work :-)
I think the fact that the US is engaged in open warfare around the world has a lot to do with it. Russia has its problems - but it hasn't deployed $Trillions of military assets around the world in order to project power, like the USA has.

What is the best resume bulider?
Still relatively small beans compared to the cost of the rocket. Remember, they started out simple. They did controlled re-entry burns and let the rocket fall - cost: extra fuel and 10 minutes more of data collection. Then the did a descent down to sea level and a hover before falling into the sea - cost: extra fuel, grid fins (grid fins yet?), more data collection. By the time they went for a barge landing (sorry, drone ship) they had reasonable confidence in having some success - and they hit it. By that point the long term benefits should have been clear, so further development was investment in their future.

All of this should have been done a long time ago by the established players in the industry. It sounded crazy to them, but really the cost of experimenting with re-entry should not have been much and AFAIK they never even tried.
All I'm trying to highlight here is that our government already does have some limits on what infrastructure companies can do to shut off service to customers. I feel that Internet infrastructure companies like Cloudflare should have at least as much responsibility to be content neutral as a phone company, and I do hope the law catches up here.

I certainly don't think it would be "unconstitutional" to bar infrastructure companies from moderating content, like we already do with telcos.

Back there I followed a bit the discussion and your alternative spec, which was really interesting. If I remember it well, that will take lots of work and you were the only one working to get it implemented on FF. Are there any plans to get back to that?

I was talking about in the "hurricane just hit your state" situation, in which you may not be commuting to work as usual, though in future two car families with one car at home during the day will not be unusual.

In the normal run of things though, I agree, the correct and sensible thing is to be grid connected, and have sane regulations that ensure that excess from generating customers gets redirected to their neighbours and that everyone gets compensated fairly for their contribution to a well running grid so that incentives are correctly aligned.

This value will in most cases be more than utilities would be prepared to pay if left to choose a number themselves and they will unfortunately generate propaganda to make solar installations seem like free riders rather than go by actual studies of how much they reduce the peak demand. In both Australia and the USA studies have found Billions (with a B!) in savings thanks to solar installations.
Yes! I'd love this.

Good luck!

Last time I approached this was generating classes for Pyramid, an it was hell, because it was incredibly poorly documented, and the community view was that metaprogramming was the devil's work.

Community has started to shift, so there's a few more resources, but things don't behave exactly as expected so you will run into issues here and there.

Hopefully you can add to the knowledge out there!

That's not "competition" between countries. You talking about shitty tax law that doesn't take into account bad acting countries (even within the EU). I don't care about a companies legal home. If they want to make business with consumers in my country those deals should yield taxes to my country. That seems to be the intend of the article's proposal. But the EU also wants to make it easy for companies to offer their products in all member states without making tax dealings to complicated. Having a different set of rules once the company exceeds some revenue doesn't feel like a perfect solution, but way better than them not contributing.

The reason why they don't pay their fare share of tax is down to US repatriation laws, nothing to do with Ireland: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-biggest-tax-sc...

The reason they pay so little tax in the EU is that in line with international law they pay it in the country where most of the innovation that drives those profits occurs, i.e. the US. Or at least they would if the US wasn't basically using its weak repatriation laws as a way of giving its companies a competitive edge against the EU. The moves by France et al can be viewed as a way to address this, but I imagine it would require major changes to international accounting rules and I would be surprised if there wasn't retaliation from the US. I guess my point is you can't really blame Ireland for not doing this unilaterally. Furthermore why should Ireland increase its corporation tax rate when it is explicitly outside the competence of the EU?
JOIN tables, sparse tables, deeply nested JOINs - all this is needed to code link-following in the relational model. So you need an ORM to handle the JOIN pain for you, but relational db query perf degrades as your joins get deeper, so the ORM needs to make hard choices around caching and database query round tips - but the ORM doesn't have enough information about the UI to make these choices - you end up needing to code the app logic into the ORM via caching and query optimizations. And now you're writing code, that's not links and forms anymore.

Arch takes real care not to let the system bork at any time due to an update. There is a very clear caveat to that. Check the arch news site before you do a system update. About 4 times a year, they make a potentially braking change, and inform users of this via that site.
I've been wondering that too. If possible, it'd be nice to combine username, second-factor, and password, as they all perform different functions that people often ambiguate:

- Your second-factor (faceprint, thumbprint, keyfob) is who you claim to be.

- Your password is your proof.
