Discharging heat is a good point. I imagine you could probably design the pods such that if they break down, they could extend radiators to contact the hyperloop wall in order to discharge heat that way.

Though actually this raises another question in my mind. How do spacecraft handle heat? Or is the problem with spacecraft keeping them warm enough, rather than dealing with excess heat?
Does anyone know where to buy their clothes ethically?

Try to remember that this is probably just a marketing document for YC. It's aspirationally what they'd like people to think about YC startups. There's not much point in debating it. If you have a good idea in almost any field, they're going to consider it.

With 25 categories, their cost to saying "we'd like YC to help end global warming" is zero. As the world's leading early-stage investment vehicle, the cost to them leaving out, say, adtech is also zero: the same people will apply either way.

Let's dissect this misplaced moral superiority by comparison.

Trump's USA imprisons more people per capita than any other nation. And a disproportionately large number of those people are black men.
For five decades, it has increasingly walked back checks and balances on the executive branch.
NSA, on behalf of USG, has demonstrated the most complete surveillance of telecommunications on the planet.
The Homan Square facility was used by CPD to disappear six thousand people. This is on a tiny scale compared to the work of the Chinese state apparatus, and it was eventually shut down. But it persisted for a decade.

The USA isn't better than China by very much. Arguably, it is worse. In any case, it is a far bigger hypocrite.
Also that poster is too hard for a guy with bad eyes to read.
For the longest time a "clean" MySQL install would set up an no-password superuser for presumably dev convenience. I don't know if they changed that (it's been a while since I last installed MySQL) but if not, this could simply be a security hole by design, with the maintainers simply not paying attention to their install script flags.
Space is not an absolute vacuum which is why this works in the first place. If your ship sits in the interstellar medium so it's not being pushed around on net then by definition it's drag is zero. However, it's possible to collect some non zero amount of hydrogen and thus energy by putting a high vacuum pump to empty space. Efficiency left as an exercise to the reader. But, it would operate the same way as a vacuum pump inside an atmosphere, just vastly slower with random particle motion providing a continuous stream of new particles.

Rest of the idea:

The Ramjet works by collecting hydrogen and Helium from a large area because you have a high relative velocity to the medium which also imposes drag. Think filter feeding whales. So you are collecting linearly more matter and thus energy per unit time with increased speed. However, drag is a function of matter collected AND relative speed so something like velocity ^3.

This suggests there is some point where you get less energy from collecting that you lose in drag. But, this also means below some speed you get more.
I am dealing with this dilemma right now. I am considered by most of my former colleagues to be a top performer, a great teammate and mentor, etc. and yet because I got unlucky and landed with some less-than-ethical companies, I feel like I've been branded. Because I decided to take a stand at those jobs and quit due to what I considered meanspirited or unethical behavior, my resume makes me appear flighty, when it reality it says more about the companies I worked for than it does about me.

Just a few hours ago, I got off a recruiter phone call where the woman wanted me to sugar-coat my history with my former employers when I went to interview. I told her, "No, if they ask what happened I have no issues telling them." If you're an interviewer and you get offended by me stating the facts--that many companies just downright suck--then that tells me all I need to know about your own insecurities.
Even worse, "aggressive" is being used here synonymously with "higher rate of return." The risk isn't reflected in the graph at all. Why would anyone looking at this not choose aggressive? Look how much higher the total is! Really misleading without some visual indicator that your return might actually be lower for some time horizon ...
There's the repopulation angle of conservation- there's also the education angle. People tend to care more about nature the more they learn about it. The suffering of orangutans in Borneo will tend to mean more to someone who has looked an orangutan in the eye, vs someone who has maybe heard of them once upon a time.

Same thing happens with places like our national parks. Visiting national parks gets people caring about conservation, so ironically on the one hand we despoil some of the wilderness with park facilities but as a result people vote to protect the rest.
However, this Galaxy S9+ vs iPhone X video review apparently tells a completely different story:

You mean somebody who knows how to develop in Java, PHP, Python, Perl, C, C++, Javascript, Ruby, LISP - all languages developed more than 10 years ago - is "wholly unemployable right now"? Doesn't seem to match my experience even a little bit. Programming practices also hasn't changed that much. In fact, there are still jobs for COBOL and Fortran programmers - not that many, but there aren't that many COBOL and Fortran programmers either nowdays.
My university had an interesting approach to that problem - where it was necessary or useful to use real code, different classes were deliberately taught in different languages (mix of Java/ML/C/MIPS/Verilog).

What language would you say is a good first language? To me, Python seems very readable to a new programmer without having a capability/tooling ceiling that you will eventually reach, which seem to make it a decent choice.

UX is a tough one, I'm still unsure what the magic bullet there is as I personally believe a lot of itself is generally handwaivy. It's one of those things that you just have some magical touch with (which approximately no one has so don't be foolish and believe that you're the one), or something you gain over time through trial and error.

It's probably hard to get into a UX role that doesn't involve UI as well. So one side of that is being able to actual design UI, and build out some random "product" ideas with the various current tools available which allow you to design UI + make prototypes that seem real (something like Sketch, there's tons of others). This can be helpful for getting some experience together on your own time which hopefully could get you a junior UI/UX somewhere.

The other side of things is being a UI driven developer and try to get in as some sort of frontend UI/UX engineer which deals more with making user experience better vs fleshing out the business logic / internals. These sorts of jobs tend to exist more at larger shops / enterprises than smaller ones.

The third side (yea, this one has three sides) is to just try and get a foot in the door as a junior PM and grow from there. I honestly don't believe this is the best route as I think all it does is breed "pointy haired managers".

I really believe you need some experience in a space before being able to be a good "* Manager" of any kind, whether that be project, product, engineering, or otherwise.

"The repo" only dates back to v2.6.12-rc2 shortly after the first release of git, but there are repos with imported code from previous VCSes:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3264283/linux-kernel-his...

https://landley.net/kdocs/fullhist/

The first link describes using git's "grafts" feature to make the UI believe that the first commit in the normal repo actually has parents, which means you can use the repo normally and agree with everyone else about commit numbers, but also `git log` will go all the way back to Linux 0.0.1. I had this setup on my work machine in 2012 and it was useful a few times, but in the last couple of years I haven't really needed to see history past 2.6.12.

(But yes, the history repos don't explain the size of the normal linux.git repo - except to the extent that you need to spend over a decade writing an OS to get even that many lines of code in the first commit and that much activity shortly thereafter.)

It's pretty clear you're not arguing in good faith; but, for the sake of anyone that happens upon your post, just going to enumerate a subset of your weak assumptions.

--Restrict crime stats to 75 counties (ie major cities) without also restricting fatal shootings

--Assuming population ratios are constant among those counties as compared to the wider nation (required to generate percapita)
--Not addressing the issue of scale between your two data sets. I don't know for certain, but I'd wager the number of violent crime incidents is at least an order of magnitude greater than the number of police fatal shootings.

--Related to the population point above but not accounting for potential inequalities in the who is charged in which counties.

You don't have "time" to provide a comprehensive statistical analysis because doing it right is nontrivial and very likely isn't going to conform to the views you spent so long searching the net to validate.

Right, but the term limit became defacto when the presidency was merged with the general secretary position. Xi could technically remain general secretary without remaining president, but practically that is impossible at this point, so the constitution had to be changed.
Coming to Android from WebOS with Preware (where you could install an LDXE chroot in one click) felt the same way.

But my tastes have changed over the years, now if I want a pocket computer I’ll just get a pocket computer. My phone needs to make phone calls and not annoy me. The same freedom that makes Android not an iOS clone can be (and is often) abused, and now Google is cracking down on said freedom try and save us all from apps abusing the features that let Android apps do amazing things (like background processing and hidden APIs).

I’m an Android Developer but I use an iPhone because at the end of the day it does what it needs to and no app will ever be able to show ads on my lockscreen.
Well, that's a cheap shot. It's a very sophisticated attack and assumes the user is dumb enough to click a dialog allowing direct access to their USB device. Many users are indeed that dumb.

Yeah I've ridden the Zephyr from Chicago to Colorado (and back) a few times, and it was off-schedule about half the time, one of them was at least 4 hours of just sitting there in the train in the middle of nowhere.

One hour I can understand, four is ridiculous. The trip is pleasant and the views are great but for me to take it again they're going to have to do better than 50% on-time.
> Xi has moved the system/party

Because Xi has circumvented several of the most important limitations (term limits, seniority) on party and state leadership, there is no system anymore. AFAIU, since Mao died, ultimate power was vested in the Politburo Standing Committee (PSC). Cycling out of leadership posts after two terms was simultaneously both the concrete recognition and reflection of where ultimate power was truly vested.

The bribery was an artifact of how power was shared in the PSC, and how the members jockeyed to maintain a balance of power. At a high level it wasn't corruption, per se, but the system through which the PSC members could exert influence when they weren't seated as the President, Chairman of the Central Military Commission, etc. It effectively operated like the checks & balances of Western institutions. If a PSC member opposed a policy preferred by the President, those backchannels to the party base and to industry was how they could push back, and ensured the posted leaders always had to acquiesce, to some degree, to the PSC members.

In as much as there was corruption, well that's the price you pay for not having a transparent system of governance with an independent civil service and independent judiciary without concentrating too much power into the hands of a (hopefully) benevolent dictator.

The problem is that all the senior leaders from the Maoist era are gone. The norms of the PSC were instituted intentionally to avoid the reemergence of Maoist extremism. This generation doesn't appreciate the critical importance of the power-sharing norms within the PSC. They think they can have their cake and eat it too: preserve the one party Communist system and provide streamlined, efficient governance, without instituting democratic, rule-of-law reforms. They apparently don't appreciate the fact that once the PSC is effectively dominated by a single individual, then the one party system is de facto extinguished--the party becomes subservient to a single individual.

More importantly, like many people they don't appreciate the fact that whether in democracy or single-party rule (which has a sort of internal democracy), some amount of organizational inefficiency is the price you must pay to keep power from centralizing. Maximum organizational efficiency can only be achieved in a dictatorship because that's the only way, theoretically, to maximally minimize transaction costs. But over the long-term history has shown that optimizing for short-term efficiency is a really bad idea and it tends to result in very inefficient long-term outcomes.

I assume the author refers to "T *t = new T[x]", which probably predates and inspired Java.

There is no reason why C++ can't provide a lengthof(x) function that returns the length of arrays allocated using new[], since the length needs to be stored internally anyway -- otherwise delete[] wouldn't know how many destructors to call. It would also be great if there was a realloc() equivalent that did the right thing with regards to constructors/destructors, because it's not possible to build this functionality on top of C's realloc().

new[] and delete[] are frustrating. If you "typedef int X[5]", how do you correctly free one instance of X - "delete new X" or "delete[] new X"?

The problem is that vector<T> isn't great either. Only C++03 made it legal to assume that vector<T> has contiguous storage (which is critical when interfacing with C APIs), and only C++11 made it possible to transfer vectors without expensive copies. But using rvalue references and copy elision correctly is certainly not trivial, and using vector<T> as a building block for your own data structures is in some ways more frustrating than using new[].

I think C++ should deprecate new[] and delete[], add a library function std::realloc_array<T>(ptr_or_null, length) that can be used to replace new[]/delete[]/realloc() and another library function std::array_length(ptr), and then vector<T> and other data structures could be built on top of that with little overhead. But I don't see it happening.

Joking aside. If you don't have a will, and/or a trust established, you need to do so asap! It will save your family much trouble, drama, and probably money. For example, if you have multiple properties in other states, there is a tax imposed for transferring the title to a family member that sometimes is so steep the family must sell the property to pay it! This can largely be avoided though if you have multiple properties in a trust...

Source: I know lawyers and paralegals who talk about this kind of stuff all the time, and how sad it is when people die without having created a will and all their assets are siezed by the state, and other similar situations. (For example, it depends on the state, but a common misconception is everything you own goes to your next of kin if you don't have a will, such as a wife or child. That's often not true though.)
