1) No. Both principal sides have a fraction of the warheads they had at the end of the cold war.

2) It's hard to tell. The standoffs have been (fortunately) much talkier. Periodically, the US makes noises about nuclear arsenal modernization, smaller tactical nukes, 'theater missile defense' etc. Similarly, the Russians announce unstoppable super-missiles. There's always the risk these moves could lead to a full-blown nuclear weapons arms race.

> It's not the big explosions that are a problem in nuclear war

No, I'm pretty sure those are definitely a problem.

> it's the fallout.

That's also a problem, but a thermonuclear ground burst is going to produce several orders of magnitude more fallout than a nuclear ramjet.
Changed it. I guess now it's better!
Then you might as well just use an email address that you don’t use, and there is no difference between doing that in the future and doing so today.
Everybody treats different categories of living things differently. Most of us would save ourselves before a stranger. We prefer family to non-family, our in-group to our out-group, human life to non-human life, and dog or cat life to rat or cockroach life.

You can argue that all of these different categories have inherent moral worth and that moral worth is not dependent on the perspective of the person making the judgement about moral worth, but almost nobody actually behaves that way. And I would argue that the people who do behave that way are mostly confused.
I'm not sure if I follow. This is from Sia, so it might not be the case with IPFS + FileCoin, but the cost for finding a host is the same for everyone. The hosts themselves determine their own price, and they're given a rating determined by the amount of storage they have + uptime + bandwidth. Users can then choose who hosts their content by looking at their rating versus cost.

Currently, without monetization in place, popular content is easy to host while unpopular content is not. Monetization levels the playing field.

Dear Elastic people reading this thread: We hope you wont do evil with your licence.

If you don't do evil (e.g. write anything that could mess other people IP when working with Elasticsearch, prevent compatibility with other products, scare people from even looking at these codes or at the whole repository ) it will be.. a setep in the right direction.

If you do evil it will cost you dearly in the end, with FUD about companies should be enormously weary of having anyone even look at those repositories.

Hope we'll continue to cheer and celebrate your achievements.
I've always been fascinated by things like Soylent, prepackaged food is so much easier but is either insanely expensive or insanely unhealthy. How cost effective is your DIY powder? My main turn off of keto is the higher grocery bills... carbs are so much cheaper.

If you're doing some kind of strength program, once you squeeze out your noob gains your progress will stall pretty hard unless you're eating a caloric surplus. It's an insanely frustrating dilemma: do I want to get stronger and fatter or lose some weight and get more muscle definition?

You don't have a "European" perspective. You have a wherever-you-are-from perspective, and potentially a whatever-you-choose-to-see one too. I'm from Ireland, we have noisy violent junkies, amongst others less noisy and less violent.
First I acknowledge that is not really useful to single out a day as productive or not. The finest-grain level I check is days streak. And in that case, I usually say that I had a good week or good weeks, or once I had a whole good quarter.

When I average the year, I have been having more productive years more or less consistent. Like the global warming, the year that wasn't really productive was still higher than the least productive year before the last peak.

Well, with all that said, some patterns seemed clear to me:

1 - Societal overload: that place and country you live directly affect your productivity. I lived for many years in the biggest city of a 3rd World country, where the government works daily to make your life miserable and hard. The moment I moved to Europe, I had a surge of productivity because those "little" things that rob you of your energy were gone: the violence, the crappy infrastructure, and a technology market generations behind than the 1st World.

2 - Peers Level: being the ugliest among the pretty is better than being the prettiest among the ugly. When you are the least good among very competent engineers you have a lot of opportunities to learn from people that know more and better than you. You become a sponge of methods that can help you to work better and faster.

3 - Reused experience: The best world scenario is to be a generalist and be able to work on whatever is thrown at your hands because you are clever and skilled. However, it doesn't mean that you can't get really skilled and experienced in some aspect of your craft. For instance, through the years I become an expert on bootstrapping greenfield projects and prepare to hand them over to a team that will look after them. This has been invaluable and my longest days streak happened in this situation.

4 - Keep reassessing your toolset all the time: we tend to feel comfortable and confident with the tools we know how to use. That's fine. But keep an eye open to new technologies. There might be one new technology that solves (or attempts to solve) some fundamental problem that you daily face - that if it didn't exist, you would be even more productive.

5 - Manage your attention: nowadays we live in a world perfected to steal your attention. Learn how to manage it effectively. You can't be productive if you are distracted or constantly interrupted.

I hope it helped you.
(PS: HN is a huge attention stealer.)
> E.g. you have 100 stop and frisks, 50 in one and 50 in antother neighborhood.

NB: stop and frisk isn't done in the "good" neighborhoods at all. There's not going to be any data about what happens when e.g. stopping and frisking white men in suits in lower Manhattan because it will never be done. The idea of being able to do controls hinges on something for which there is no political will.

> Obviously this will still lead to more searches in more criminal neighborhoods. But that's what you want.

I would think instead you want more searches in places where there is probable cause, you have gotten warrants, etc. How comfortable are we with the notion that people should be targeted on the basis of the neighborhoods they live in? Is this compatible with our guiding documents?
I think the opposite - until an hour ago I wasn't aware this category of software even existed. As soon as I learned of it, first thing I wanted to know is what else is out there that solves the same problem and how they compare.

Some projects help you with this by featuring a quick rundown of similar software on their website/repository readme along with links to the repositories. I always appreciate that.

> Nothing is original.

No. I suppose when you say "nothing" you're talking about philosophical propositions, which can be mapped to computer programs. In which case we can note that (1) the vast majority of programs have never been generated before by any process and (2) the vast majority of possible programs cannot be reduced to simpler programs that might have been expressed earlier.

Everyone ignores that in order for a blockchain to work, there needs to be a governance model that weeds out bad actors. In finance markets, this is somewhat ok because the governance model of laissez-faire economics (a common mental model to apply to finance) is simply “buy at your own risk”. That governance model won’t work for something like DNS — if control of a DNS name is maliciously reassigned, there would need to be some agreement around how that gets done and who has the authority to do that.

Any real, reliable blockchain solution is not going to be the decentralized authority model that Bitcoin has, it’s going to be a tiered trust authority in the same way that SSL roots work today. You’re going to end up with very similar governance models and the same organizations, just implemented in blockchain.

I think some of the important impacts of blockchain are yet to be recognized: I do think it will force us to fundamentally think about what consensus and rule of law means in any given scenario, and that will have some pretty outsized social impacts — especially in the way we run organizations.

We will have to be far more deliberate about how we design our governance models, but I worry they will become so complex as to grow beyond the possibility of oversight...
Yea, it’s not bad, but you don’t have a nanny, gardener, and private school for the kids on $150k.
I believe you need the randomness to avoid artifacts in the calculations.

But more importantly, the source of data in the applications are analog themselves and they are skipping the step of manually calculating an exact value before doing calculations.

This question lacks context. What sort of business are we dealing with here? SaaS? Consulting? Game development? Are we making websites? What does the existing technology look like?

From these questions I can come to an understanding of what sort of talent is needed. Can we get away with junior talent or is a senior perspective required? What sorts of management resources are available, will we need the candidates to take on those roles too?

The answer to the complexity of JS and associated frameworks/libraries cannot simply be "stop making JS apps".

Don't get me wrong, I agree server side rendering is a lot simpler and solves many problems, but there are plenty of reasons to go with a full client-side app and in those cases libraries and frameworks, while not essential, are logical and sensible conclusions.
Happy to see people from other countries want to know more about China. I am a Chinese Web Developer, and I recommend one really good book for you to read, that is the Shiji(史记), it has good English translation. It's about the history of China before about 100BC.

Here is a good web version: https://ctext.org/shiji

The original Chinese version has half a million characters, and the translation is about 1 million words, I guess.

After reading this classic book, you will know how China forms its political system and also the Chinese way of thinking.

China has a lot of marvelous history books, all worthy to read. Mao Zedong has read them all for many times in his life.

No, even in that case, though there the “system to shoot it down” consists of ASW supremacy and a policy of preemption if tensions escalate to the point where a launch seems plausible; the less valuable post-launch defense is against a weapon system, the more it encourages preemptive attack.

Technically sure, but that's not what people generally mean when they say "politics." Crappy politics is where you become friends with the "right" people, or throw the "wrong" people under the bus, or where you adapt your behavior to look good, instead of doing actually good things. Parent comment is saying instead you could consider how your actions can positively impact someone else, rather than just telling people what to do and what to give you. The latter is technically politics, but more generally is just the general way a good person interacts with the world. Think "win-win" from 7 habits of highly effective people.

> Is the nuclear arms "race" still on?

Yes, though it's a capabilities race and not a numbers race, mostly. Geopolitical conflict with Russia restarted very quickly after a brief pause at the end of the Cold War, and an integral part of that conflict is jockeying for a dominant position should it come to war (mostly, because being perceived as having such a position is a powerful tool in that conflict without escalation to war.)

For my final semester of university, I read tons of books, wrote lots of essays (both for school and personal), worked a paying side-contract, and went 110% on a project for school.

My schedule made this possible. All my classes started in the afternoon and ended at 10 at the latest. This matched with my natural levels of productivity perfectly. Reading and podcasts in the morning, homework/class in the afternoon, and pure output at night. It was perfect and I know I'll be spending the next while trying create the conditions to live like that again.

I am probably in what they would consider the over-applying camp ;). When it comes down to it, I think there's a tendency in many different fields to cast within-field learning problems as distinct from others, but in general, researchers in those fields often don't have a ton of experience on learning in other domains.

RE networks, I agree that there is likely evidence for distinct patterns of activation in various neuroimaging studies, but having worked in memory + neuroimaging, I think there's a serious risk that people will take something like "statistically significant difference in brain activity" and use it as a substitute for "substantial differences in learning behavior / retention". (this is a well known problem in imaging).

I'm not too familiar to L2 acquisition research, though, but those are my impressions from thumbing through some of the field. Would def love to hear some study recommendations :).
Well, yeah, the conflict is poor understanding of semantics.

I think most of the contention is people talking past each other, and I think we're at risk of that happening here, too. I'll try to be careful.

How old the universe is and whether there is a creator are theological and metaphysical questions. Whether species change over time in response to changes in their environments is an empirical question. You can't disprove a theological axiom with empirical observation. The universe could have been created in the middle of my typing this post up. There's no scientific way to prove that an omnipotent being didn't set it up that way.

So the fundamentalists need to accept that a creator could have created a universe with evolution in it. And anti-fundamentalists need to acknowledge that they can only prove that the universe looks really old when we extrapolate backwards from existing evidence.

One metaphysical question is "Could an omnipotent creator create a universe with evolution?" I think the answer is clearly "yes". The people who object at this point usually object to the "Why would a creator do that?" That's an entirely different theological question, one that doesn't affect science a single bit.
