That's silly. Modern cellphones don't need to be compatible with all cellphone networks to be cellphones any more than a shoe needs to fit on every foot in America to be a shoe.

No. It literally cannot do that, hence my comment.
Ok. Thanks for the clarification.
For BH-BH mergers, it seems that the result is a larger BH, less mass converted to GW. And I can't imagine that any of that BH mass gets ejected. Maybe my imagination is limited, however.

Even so, there's likely mass in accretion disks, and it will likely get very hot in the bh-BH merger process. That's what you referred to, I guess.

I don't think this is the case at all. From my experience with politicians the most important traits are total lack of morals, unconstrained egoism and ability to sound authoritative even when lying or lacking any grasp of the topic at hand. Those also help in a corporate environment. I can't speculate whether those "skills" are more common among men.

I think 'scares' is probably too strong a word, but it's close to fear. So, I'll say I find it disconcerting that people are talking about, and suggesting he do so, an eventual run for presidency. Fark is a good place to see people who support this idea.

I am somewhere between flabbergasted, dismayed, dumbfounded, and scared. The worst part being that I'm pretty sure he'd get quite a few votes.

You're taking oddly personal offense at someone doing rather straightforward things to promote the growth of his business into the largest economy on Earth, which also happens to be his wife's ethnic homeland.

It's fine to disagree with his attempts to accumulate power and be a demagogue like most politicians and CEOs, but there's no need to be creepy about it.
He's latched onto UBI, as have a lot of the technoraiti.

He probably genuinely believes it is necessary (and it maybe), but that's a really easy bone to throw out to voters: "vote for me, I'm gonna give everyone money".

Of course there's no way any unified vision of UBI is going to go through the political grinder, so the end result is anyone's guess.

He'll probably lean on that and social issues and the fact that he's not as obviously ignorant as Trump. It might be enough to slip through political parties that are running people like Ted Cruz and Clinton as finalists.

They don't mention about one very big drawback of Germany, one that will never allow it to raise the next Silicon Valley: dislike of immigrants and foreigners. It's not visible on surface, and looks pretty meritocratic, especially when CEO lunches with you in common canteen, but once you work a little in upper-middle class with intellectual workers, you will start noticing that inside they don't accept anyone foreign. Also, too much pride for their language adds even more barrier for accent-speakers.

In contrast, Silicon Valley is probably the most immigrant-friendly place I've ever seen. There can be no German Sundar Pichai, nor Sergey Brin, nor Satya Nadella, nor Shantanu Narayen. So I'm quite skeptical to those "Berlin is the new SV" posts that pop up on HN every month or so.

Trump is a populist, but this guy is a technocrat wannabe who looks to China for inspiration. It's as though he'd like to architect our society to his liking, rather than let people make their own society.

> Honestly, it might be tricky, but implementing matrix operations is not rocket science either.

Actually, it's very hard to implement efficient algebraic matrix-matrix and matrix-vector operations, although naive implementations are very easy to pull off. You're fooling yourself if you believe you can whip out an implementation for basic BLAS-(1|2|3) kernels that matches the performance of properly tuned implementations. Implementing a kernel whose performance doesn't stray too far from the hardware's capacity takes a lot of knowledge and work on low-level details such as cache hierarchies and its impact on the memory access performance. Floating point operations actually take a back-seat to memory access, as they represent a small fraction of the operations being performed by the kernel (IIRC, in sparse matrix operations the proportion of fp operations is only about 1-in-7) and the bulk of the implementation is focused on memory access that minimizes cache misses. Therefore, to even be in a position to implement an acceptable matrix-vector or matrix-matrix kernel you need to have a solid understanding on how particular performances handle memory. This isn't trivial, and it's one of the reasons why articles about implementing X on a GPU, even if X is a classic algorithm, are accepted and published by specialized publications.

I don't know the US constitution, this is why I asked. My assumption is that running for president is not compatible with certain things, e.g. owning and/or editing media. E.g. could somebody in theory buy most of the newspapers, TV and radio channels, get on their boards and run for president?
I think the swipe-down-to-refresh UI pattern actually seems pretty discoverable. The newest things on a list are added to the top. How do you know if you're at the very top of a list?

I think this gesture eloquently addresses several issues at once. (1) The user is going to pull down on the main container to check for new items at the very top of the list, but (2) it may take a manual refresh to deliver these new items; refreshing the list when the user is attempting to pull the main container window beyond the top-most item allows the app to provide the newest content the moment the user is seeking it.

Semi-offtopic, any city-dwelling HAM's out there? I've been thinking it would be cool hobby to get into, but I live in a condo. My father is a ham, and he has this long antenna up in the trees across his yard (must be close to 50m long), for HF I guess (he mostly does CW, AFAIK).

So it seems a bit pointless if all I can do is operate some VHF band equipment with an indoor antenna, or maybe sticking a short-ish antenna out of the window, with a range of maybe of few tens of km's?

What am I missing? If there are city-dwelling hams out there, what do they do?

Why is that? It used to be that there were help files and you pushed buttons until you figured out what they did. You had pages and pages of comfiguation options. You had manuals that explained things - without needing a browser. You had settings and advanced settings, hidden switches, and tweaks.

Now, you get a hamburger icon and there's not even an exit button.

Part of the joy of computing was figuring out what all those buttons and options did. VLC is one application that still has a decent settings selection and their advanced options is just about perfect. I don't even know what half those options are for - but I like it.

Please give me back my options to break stuff. I am not scared. Breaking stuff helps me learn. I don't even remember the last time I broke things bad enough to need a reformat. That's not for lack of trying, it's for lack of buttons. I'd like to kindly request you put those buttons back.

Seriously, discovering features and mashing buttons until you learn is one of the great joys of computing.

However, it is lame when you compare to the kind of detailed profile information that the other social services ask upfront, especially Facebook.

Learning Review for Build Network Outages in September 2017 – Netlify
You're right. I'm re-installing Excel and giving this a negative review on the app store!
It was the traditional view, based on an assumed stereotype: ie. a simple hunter-gather/agriculture dichotomy that contemporary research hasn't borne out.

Indigenous Australians certain used hunting and gathering amongst a variety of food-obtaining methods like fish farming and yam cultivation (very various in the different nations). But they did so in landscapes that they actively managed through a range of techniques (including but not limited to use of fire) to make the flora and fauna of their choice readily available in their country (and to keep them available throughout good & bad seasons).

Popular accounts of the contemporary research can be found in Bill Gammage's The Biggest Estate on Earth and Bruce Pascoe's Dark Emu. It's a fast-changing research landscape, though, with much left to be discovered.

I actually trust institutions more than I trust people.

Institutions are built on laws, they outlive humans, and they are impervious to the individualist nature of humans. Although it's a different story for companies and corporation (which facebook is).

Facebook is a bad idea because it is only about individuals and their private circles of friends. You would expect from a social network to give you opportunities to enlarge and open your friendship to new individuals, but facebook does the exact opposite, it builds exclusivity between individuals.

The whole real name idea makes no sense, since it only enables stalking. Zuckerberg have this naive optimism about people trusting people, and it would somehow justify the intrusiveness of facebook because he thinks that most people have good intentions. Except you need a very few individuals to ruin the experience.

The internet is not a trustworthy place, and facebook has made it even worse. It is really frustrating because facebook really has the potential to be so much better with its userbase, but it seems it will keep being this useless photo and news sharing website. I wish technologies like decentralized networks and the blockchain could change that.

The whole distrust for institutions is another great meme of the libertarian agenda.
