It seems pretty unlikely that Earth life could accidentally seed any moon of Saturn, and extremely unlikely that it could out-compete life that's been adapting to that environment for eons. As in, even less likely than Earth's surface bacteria hitching a ride on probes down to volcanic vents on Earth and out-competing the life there. Maybe it would find a small niche to fill.

No matter how careful we are, if we do find life on another planetary body, genetically similar enough to be confused with present-day Earth life, the assumption should be that it is from Earth and there had been no other life. Unfortunately it leaves "are we alone?" unanswered, but it answers "can life exist beyond Earth?"

Privacy extensions could do this on their own. They can integrate with containers where it makes sense. Enforcing it from the firefox side would probably be more confusing than useful.

Extensions could implement this.

From what I have read on driver subreddits Lyft takes far shorter time like 2 days to approve drivers as opposed to Uber which takes 2 weeks.
Apple takes 30%. So does Google. Kickstarter takes 5%. Many online stock trading firms take somewhere around 10-15%. That fairly well justifies the qualifier of "tiny" in today's world.

Given that the basic cost for processing credit cards and other such minutia is already around 2%, the benefit of not having to worry about chargebacks, fraud, or PCI compliance... worth that extra 3% IMO.
For more details, I recommend this Nature article: https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/effects-of...

The short version, if I remember it correctly: Plants open and close their pores ("stomata") to balance the need to get CO_2 from the air with the need to conserve water, which easily evaporates away and then needs to be replenished through the roots. If we give plants lots of CO_2, they will close their pores to prevent water loss (because who knows when it'll next rain, right?). But the micronutrients, including the N required to make proteins, come from the ground – so the plants' own mechanism to minimize having to rely on water from the ground results in the plant accumulating fewer micronutrients.

Detroit was built on an industry so large that nothing has matched it since in scale.

I think that to restore Detroit to its former glory is not really possible because there is no industry big enough to support it, nor is Detroit necessarily the best area to put that industry if it existed.

It just so happened that Henry Ford was born here and transformed a small trading town into a huge manufacturing hub by chance of his business growing so large at the right time.

"no idea" and "impossible" is a stretch of the truth. Hyperbole.

There are lots of tools in the biologist's shed for this sort of thing, and we know how to use them (think of all the field work done anywhere on Earth, such as Antarctica... if the task of sorting life was impossible, we should defund all of that immediately).

We have an idea. It just makes it harder in the extremely remote chance that it crashes in such a way that it could contaminate an icy moon and have any passengers start growing wildly.

Personally, I think that, fundamentally and cosmically, the whole point of Gaia producing a species which can send probes to other planets is contamination. We're Gaia's reproductive system.

I put this thing together a while back to help out with accidentally opening things in the wrong tab. You can right-click on a tab and 'move' it to a different context. It's a bit of a hack, in that it destroys the old tab and replaces it with a new one, but it's still quite useful.

> using thing that are a while out of date and may have security flaws as a result

On the contrary, on distributions that perform security updates the level of security of a package can only increase over time.

It might sound obvious but vulnerabilities are created in new releases, while vulns in existing packages can be only be found and fixed, not created.

(Of course I'm talking only about vulnerabilities here and excluding removal of obsoleted crypto or addition of new security features)
I travel overseas a ton and i'll counter -- I may not like the brand (actually I love them!) but it is hard to ignore the convenience. When I go overseas, I dont want to figure out the local app, install the local app, set up the local app, learn to use the local app, etc. I've been to five countries in the past five months and used Uber in every single one. I didnt have to haggle in foreign languages and the receipt came to my email onto a single credit card for easy accounting. There is a HUGE value to that. It may not matter a lot of those not traveling, but the world is huge and lots of people travel, esp those in the cohort that use Uber.

I also traveled domestically and overseas a ton (four years with Accenture on the road constantly) and remember a pre-Uber world. Shudder. While you are right that I can theoretically go with multiple services domestically in the US, I'd still go with a single one to ensure easy accounting, and when dealing with overseas travel, it is a no-brainer.

Yes! I've said this since day zero of the Chrome profile implementation we were all forced^H^H^Hstrongly encouraged to evaluate. This does not work on a Social web, at least not for most people. Humans have one technical identity, but they have multiple personas, and they adapt them per context.

I actually noticed a staggering difference between American and European cities - American cities were so much quieter than what I am used to, because cars and trucks there are usually petrol(gas) powered - and don't have rumbly diesel engines. A garbage truck over here in UK is extremely loud in the morning because all you can hear is the rumbling of the huge diesel going POM POM POM POM POM like a tractor - in America I noticed that while there were some diesel vehicles, they were very rare, and the trucks were just quiet without their usual(for me) diesel rattle.
After its sorted you could add a break condition when the array is less than 128 that way it would make it faster.
If it were me, I would put it on a Facebook page and call it a day. Providing content to and among a loose network of individuals is when Facebook excels. The 'among' aspect is particularly important because letting people vote and comment and post messages is engaging and building all that in and moderating it on a custom built website is 'non-trivial'. Odds are that Facebook will provide better archiving over the years than with a bespoke website simply due to costs and technical knowledge and an interest in maintenance.

To a first approximation, the wedding is going to wind up on Facebook anyway.

Good luck.

Mock the Magic Quadrant at Your Peril
Just from the figures provided, if you're using close to the range each day, it's €3500 a year in savings, one daily recharge cycle up to €7000 a year, two recharge cycles up to €10500 a year. And then perhaps reduced maintenance on top. It does seem quite significant if the capital and battery replacement costs aren't too high.

I also wonder whether logistics companies can fit charging into their existing operations; delivery vehicles have to come back to a depot once they are empty, and there must be a period of downtime while the van is being filled.

These companies also know the distances each van has to travel to deliver it's combination of packages, in effect you have the information to eliminate range anxiety. You could have a percentage of your fleet electric, and put them on routes which were high density and near the depot. You could then be confident that they will return to depot with charge to spare, and recharge them at the loading bays while waiting in the normal course of operations.

This truck can charge fully in an hour, so assuming a half hour turnaround time for reloading, there would be no downtime on a route thirty miles or less. As the range and the speed of charging increase, the percentage of the fleet which you could switch to electric would increase.

There are several iterations of most popular input methods in mainland China (Cangjie is only used in HongKong area):

1. Numerous attempts were made by many people, try to encode thousands of Chinese characters in keyboard. The most popular one is Wubi, which can describe single character in 4 keystroke so you don't need to select from options. It's used by professional typewriters, and many regular users spend a lot of time to learn the system.

2. pinyin IME was improved, provided better prediction and word input(input a multi character word directly, instead one by one), it's acceptable even you need to select from a list, and you don't need to learn a system. Most casual users used the one provided by Windows Chinese version.

3. Whole sentence IME appeared, which was trained with Chinese text corpus, try to predict a whole sentence when you just input the pinyin for all of them. This proved to be short-lived since you still need to adjust several places in many cases, even it can get 100% correct in 30% cases.

4. All major IT companies start to develop their own IME as a method to collect user input and provide an entrance to their product.

5. An old IME: double pinyin start to gain more popularity. It's still pinyin, but you can use 2 letter to encode the whole pinyin instead of 4 or 6 letters. All newer IME can switch between different encoding methods, like pinyin, double pinyin, strokes.

6. Senior users tend to just use handwriting in smartphone.

Pollution is a big problem in many cities and ecommerce has massively increased the number of delivery vehicles. Replacing short-haul trucks with electric vehicles can already go a long way in reducing emissions.

For long-haul semis, batteries would likely have to be swapped. That way you can exchange batteries during mandatory breaks so that you only need 4hrs capacity. Batteries can then be charged when prices are lowest and used as storage.

I'm just not sure where breakeven would be in that case. Assuming you need several battery packs per truck, initial costs would be too high for most logistics companies. Could maybe work if batteries are owned by utilities and only rented out for the duration of a trip. That would ensure they're used properly while not driven.

The question I have, which I do not see answered after a quick glance of the top responses, is: What is the total time of sorting + good branch prediction loop, versus not sorting and bad branch prediction loop? Does the good branch prediction save more time than it cost to sort the array, on modern processors? What about old processors with shorter pipelines?
"It's 13-year mission to explore the strange world of Saturn went on nearly a decade longer than planned."

Another testament to NASA's approach of relying on extremely well tested, older technology.

When I was younger I didn't entirely agree with that approach (imagining what could be done with the latest & greatest camera tech etc etc). Having lived long enough to see a few of these very extended duration missions, has entirely put me in the corner of agreeing with their approach.

This is also why it's ok, more often than not, that NASA missions cost so much (a more frequent criticism these days). 20 years in space; 13 engaged in a highly functional, active mission; truly incredible.

Unless your package manager enforces signatures and you trust the person that signed the package. Then this is an attack vector for you.

That includes Java (Maven), Ruby (Gems, Bundler), Node (npm), Haskel (stack) etc etc.

Installing code via package managers is the coders equivelant of opening up an exe sent to you in an email.

Code downloaded from the internet is not to be trusted.

That's a feature. You want a set of vetted and curated packages you can trust, and you want to receive security updates on them.
Very localized sound could that be some resonance effect related to the building? The building looks like it consists of a very regular structure.
Sort of. If rand() wasn't built into the standard, it would be impossible because you could override it at link-time with another function that connects to your database or something. And the linker runs after the compiler.

But because it's built-in, the compiler might be able to infer more about it, just like it reduces:

printf("x");

to

putchar('x');

OpenJDK's AOT compiler, when you also allow it to include the JIT and still recompile hotspots, is about 5% slower than just using the JIT. The only reasons to use it are startup times, ease of distribution (no JVM to ship, sort of), and for use in places that don't allow JITs (iOS).

That is all I ask as well. Considering we are accusing a nation with nuclear weapons of an act of war the evidence must be much more than circumstantial.

Here's one way. Those asserts will typically pick up on errors during spikes, development and tests and turn a head scratching problem into a straightforward issue.

A couple of times on a disastrously tech debt ridden project I used it to pick up obscure configuration errors in prod, too (shouldn't see it in prod on a relatively well written project tho).
Most delivery vehicles work 8am-6pm. Supermarket deliveries work with other schedules but also just for a few hours per day. That gives 14 hours charging window with (at least partly) low energy costs.

For trucks that are not used a lot, this solution could end up cheaper because the battery can be used profitably while the truck is waiting.

They can only be owned by their copyright holders, which is separate from patents.

If anyone had a patent on virtual dom / diffing, then they could sue anyone else that used an implementation that was implemented in the same way as the implementation in the patent. That doesn't then mean that they "own" those implementations, only that they can use the courts to stop others using them or pay to licence their patent.

The moons of Saturn are small even compared to the earth. One could expect far more "wreckage" to survive the entry to a moon.

Getting into Saturn, however, is vastly different. Casssini has broken up into many smallish, white-hot pieces only to eventually merge into clouds of ammonia at -200C that are blowing at extreme velocities. Further down, there are clouds of water at 0C and then metallic liquid hydrogen. Perhaps pieces could end up there or on the rocky core? Saturn is a weird place.

How much worse than an autoclave is entry to Saturn?
Cool!

As an aside, I've been migrating away from Chrome for a while - and I posted here a while back being dismayed by how terrible Firefox was, how slow/etc it was, etc. Many people suggested I switch to nightly.

Nightly is .. a night and day experience. I've been fully switched from Chrome now, thanks to Firefox. Note that on OSX I've had no complaints with Safari as my Chrome replacement, so I've stuck with them - but on windows it's all Firefox.

Keep up the great work guys, the new stuff is amazing. Hope you can push it to stable branch soon for people. :)

You don't have to be. What's your point?
What's the game plan here? Burn investors money by offering cheap rides until...self driving cars can take over? It seems Uber and Lyft are both heavily subsidizing the actual cost of the ride and paying for that out of pocket. I use both services (Lyft preferably) when travelling to a country with drivers, and I'm not sure I've ever paid full price for a ride. "$25 credit" "50% off" "half price all weekend" promos seem to be coming in constantly.

Is either company building a viable business? Or will usage sharply drop off once they have to eventually charge a realistic rate for a ride? Or are the drivers just a temporary casualty and the plan is to get rid of them completely ASAP?
