> A new study led by geologists at the University of Johannesburg found that compounds in the Hypatia stone are distinct from anything discovered in the solar system. The researchers therefore conclude that parts of the rock formed before the solar system, and if these compounds are not presolar, the prevailing idea that the solar system formed from a nebula of homogenous gas is called into question.

Couldn't it have come from outside our solar system, in which case it is pretty much irrelevant whether it is presolar or not? Granted, that would also make it pretty exciting :-)

It seems a bit premature to question the formation theory of the solar system, based on a single rock from which we don't know if it even formed inside the solar system.

And to be honest, it could be better for security not fixing it. This way people will stay with whatsapp and most chats remain e2e encrypted and safe. If Whatsapp breaks these features, people could switch to other messengers without e2e encryption (e.g. Facebook messenger) for group chats.

And for those concerned about the issue, you can monitor the member list and make sure you carefully check all messages. If you're really concerned about encryption that's what you should do anyway.

Nonsense, and besides the point. In the densest of cities there is plenty of nature (beside us). And in any case this planned forest isn't being planted through the middle of manchester and leeds.

Even then, if an acre of urban land is left idle by man it will sprout all manner of weeds and, not before long, trees. Many a distopian sci-fi film will show this.

> Declaring properties at runtime is an antipattern.

That's a pretty bold statement & I won't argue, but either way that's an opinionated decision of the framework. React is less opinionated & doesn't care what you use for your state. Vuejs is opinionated, they don't care about working well with Redux or other state management libraries because they already have their own, Vuex, which is pretty nice for the most part.

> Props and state are absolutely not mixed

a prop called "foo" & data/state param called "foo" are both accessed at this.foo, its no longer obvious what would happen if I would try to mutate this.foo. It mutates the data/state, not the prop, so now this.foo refers to the value in the data/state, which has a different value from the
prop "foo" which can no longer be accessed at this.foo

Dude you are so off base. Atom for daily driving is not slow at all and on OSX feels perfectly native and well integrated with the OS. So your entire point is dependent on assumptions that the UX sucks and the performance is worse than many native apps, both of which in this case are completely wrong.

Please consider going back to the parent post and contrasting that with your way out of bounds response that ends with "everyone is so cynical, because it is so obvious" in light of the fact that all the outcomes you assume are just not right.

[video]Sharp Calculator Commercial (1970)
The idiom used in the title has a commonly well understood meaning in English. It basically means ‘here is a thing found in this context that is usually not found in that context and therefore probably came from somewhere else’. I can see that technically it’s incorrect, but pretty much any native English speaker would understand what is meant.

The contention is that the stone is not composed of material from the cloud of dust and gas which formed our solar system, and therefore does not share that common origin with the other material in our solar system we are familiar with.

That includes threading the line through a very congested underground area - tunnels within 12 inch of existing tunnels etc. The cost of the 2 mile branch of the pair of tunnels under the Thames was about $350m, cheaper per mile than the main tunnels.

That's also wrong. What actually happened is that a database of password hashes was _copied_ not stolen. So yes your password wasn't stolen.

The problem is a security/privacy problem. If someone made a copy of your house keys, that's a problem, because now they can enter your house. But they didn't steal your keys, they copied them. Same with the password. They didn't steal your password, but they have a copy, so they can use it to log into your accounts.

> Not so fast. It seems a little silly to say the equity in the home is worthless, even if the house depreciates somewhat (although for the time period described and even in the present the trend for most home owners is appreciation that is better than inflation).

There are a few things I'd like to address. First, for a mortgage, most of your money for the first few years goes straight to interest. You're not building equity, and it's only the amount of money you're paying in interest is tax deductible. The amount of equity you're accumulating with mortgage payments in the beginning is laughable.

Second, you're also paying for maintenance and property taxes, two things that the renter does not care about. When the water heater breaks, if you're the renter you call your landlord and take a shower at the gym, and the next day things are magically better and you don't have to worry about dry rot and stuff. If you're the owner, you're on the hook.

Third, the thing about HELOCs and reverse equity, generally you can only borrow on the equity already in the house. You could easily save that money, especially since with closing costs, agent fees, and the 20% down payment means that if you didn't buy the house, you have options not available to the buyer. Especially as a renter, you can up and move for a new job whenever you want. Would you rather have money sunk in a house and a home equity loan or liquid money in the financial markets?

> Or, to put it another way, if renting's such a better deal, why does anyone become a landlord?

In most housing markets, rents are above mortgages.

I'm sure there are investment reasons, especially if you already have a lot of money and want to diversify. Plus if you're truly wealthy, you would diversify into some real estate, commercial and residential in different housing markets, and pay for property managers. Putting all your eggs in one basket is generally not the winning play. Would you put all your money in Amazon for 30 years? Then why would you invest heavily in land in one particular market with the great majority of your capital for 30 years?

The boring technology in AI/ML is C++.

Which is why TensorFlow etc. have a boring & hard C++ core, and a lovely & easy Python layer that transmits the computational graph to the core.

Electron is similar: a boring & hard Chromium C++ core, and a lovely & easy JS layer.

What pains me is that there is no reason to include libraries we don't use.

Each Electron embeds a large amount of memory-consuming libraries that do things that are way out of scope for most apps: screen recording, sound editing, GPU graphics libraries…
The altcoin crowd insists that people with a lot of bitcoins can and do "diversify" their cryptocurrency holdings by exchanging them for altcoins, thus making bitcoin somewhat of a "reserve" cryptocurrency.

I guess the question is, if bitcoin drops, will everything drop? Or will spreading your stake around the altcoin minefiled be enough to protect against huge losses?

The stroke of the pen would help the economy immensely, but also destroy an extraordinary amount of culture and wealth, much of it intangible.
Statistically the best thing for cyclist safety is increasing the number of cyclists on the roads. So any safety rules that decrease the number of cyclists (like requiring a license) has to be offset against the increased risk caused by having less cyclists. This is the reason that mandatory helmet use makes roads less safe for cyclists.

The other aspect is that you still have pedestrians, who may have little or no knowledge of road safety, so you still have to train drivers to be extremely careful regardless.
