I feel like an economist could solve this problem...

The "tiny blocked airspaces everywhere" problem is really how do you design an efficient market.

Perhaps for example, just because you have a piece of airspace doesn't give you the right to keep it. Someone else can come along and outbid you for it auction-style. That way, anyone squatting will have to pay handsomely to do so.

Obviously all the routing and bidding and allocation is done automatically and the pilot is just given a route to fly. While there is no shortage of airspace, most bids would probably be fractions of a cent anyway.
Well, they could just deploy something more or less centralized and claim they've solved the problem in their marketing, just as they have done with their encryption claims.
> no more HTML/JS/CSS

But it's there, just an abstraction (or many) away. If you don't get HTML/CSS then no framework will help you that generates it. You can avoid JS, but understanding the DOM and CSS best practices is essential. Once you get it, you don't need libraries like this.
IMHO Notmuch is easier and much simpler for most email workflows.
> Cheaper energy would significantly increase energy consumption... The effect of that increased heat production on global warming can't be good...

Electric energy being generated and turned to heat energy is an insignificant part of the global energy budget.

Solar irradiance hits the earth with about 1000W/square meter, or a total of 1.73x10^17 W aka 173 petawatts [1], non-stop. Imagine a grid of electric space heaters, all separated by just the lengths of their cords, covering every wave of the oceans, every row of the cornfields, every inch of Antarctica. That's the effect of the sun.

Global energy production averages some 0.018 petawatts. Not quite as big a difference as I would have expected, actually.

But the point stands that using less of energy types which have a side-effect of increasing the heating effect of the Sun by a little, even if it means multiplying total energy use by a lot, has a net negative effect on global warming.

The initial leadership was made up of social and popular figures (playwrights, writers, etc). You need popular figures to drive numbers. These individuals were useful idiots who were in power for 6 days before communist forces, rapidly acknowledged by Lenin, seized control and began their reign of terror.

And while this played a critical role in 'setting the stage' that enabled the rise of the Nazis, it certainly was not the sole cause. But in either case, simply ignoring this event is likely to lead to flawed logic.
I find fascinating the idea o sensations and I think there's so much more about them as a stepping stone to intelligence; maybe machines will find something better than sensations, but I doubt it.

Why are sensations necessary?

Why do I need to feel hungry in order to eat?

Certainly an automatic feeding mechanism could exist where I eat without the sensation of hunger, sex without the sensation of lust, kill without anger and so on.
I don't get what you want to say or ask. What does not sneak up?
I'm not sure why, but a lot of these articles fail to properly distinguish between government fiscal austerity (government reducing deficit or debt) and monetary austerity (central banks reducing the growth of the money supply).

There are reasons to perform austerity but it's rarely a good idea to do it on both of these sides at the same time. When governments are trying to get out of a debt hole, monetary policy should be expansionary enough to allow for the private sector to grow and replace the economic activity that the government is halting.

The alternative double austerity leads to, on an economy wide scale, investors' attempts at building wealth, being transformed into hoarding of intrinsically valueless pieces of paper or electrons instead of being tied to something real, instead of being tied to factories, businesses projects and tools that allow people to work. It leads to people not working and not being able to subsist because the investment market is put into a gridlock.

The detrimental effects are not evenly distributed. It disproportionately and very nonlinearly affects groups that are economically vulnerable, the less educated, people working in commoditized industries where margins are thin, the inexperienced. The potential for livelihood for these people simply disappears when hoarding paper becomes more alluring than investing in these types of job creating projects.

The resulting desperation pushes people to extremes.

The ECB has been doing a mild version of this for the past decade, putting western civilization at risk. The US central bank is finally doing a better job but only after reasonable leaders were pushed aside and fanatics gained power. There is now a risk that the fanatics will get the credit for the better economy which might help them maintain power.
> I think that is a different principle.

I don't think so. In both cases we have some object with the property that the "perimeter of the convex hull of a 2D projection of it" is too large to fit the object through some hole in the paper. On the other hand, the length of the border of the hole in the paper is at least as large as this perimeter. So we twist the paper around such that the object passes through.
This often gets mentioned, but its pretty easily explained by the fact the books are for children, Bernstein or Bernstain are both difficult words for the target age group, and the ending stein is far more common a spelling.
It’s great to play around with madcap ideas like this! That’s how we move towards better technology, and that path isn’t always obvious.

That said, this is awful. Never, ever, ever override native scroll experience unless you’re building something that isn’t a page - and even then think thrice about it.

This is more a ruby-to-js compiler than a simplification of web development. You can do the same thing is pure javascript (generate html and css rather than specify it) - which would likely have even less ceremony.
It doesn't seem surprising to me that AI can be fooled by adversarial input. Human brains, as advanced as they are compared to contemporary AI, are also vulnerable to this. People figured out a long time ago that hunters, soldiers, and other military assets can be camouflaged quite effectively by painting them in certain patterns, for example.

Ask HN: Why was React Native recommended to me? Not seeing benefits
Ive programmed in 8+ languages, and up to this point Javascript was unused.

It was recommended to use javascript and react/react native so I only needed to program once.

However, seeing the differences between react and react native, this seems overstated.

What were the other benefits? I thought there was already built components/libraries I could drop in for data management. Maybe its bad googling, but I feel like react-native is like any other app I'm building from scratch.

Looking for any recommendations to get a intermediate programmer going?
I feel your own response to the response would have been so much better had it not contained the judgmental opinion.
Yes, that calorie reduction to that degree increases the chance (body type-dependant) that your’ll induce starvation prevention reactions in your body. An at rest adult human typically requires 2000 calorie sharing a day to maintain weight. That’s if you never left your bed. Regularly reducing that further will cause your body to store more energy which results in fat gain. And not always the good kind.

The simple way for me to put it is move your body and fuel it regularly for the best results. You don’t have to fast 16 hours a day, and I d wager you’d meet better results without doing so.

If you don’t want to move your body then that’s a whole other world of questions. But if you’re generally healthy and capable, you should.
It says that pesticides are not that effective because the stinkbug's long legs keep them from much contact with the pesticide on a surface. Maybe could use pesticide balls with little spikes all over them (like burrs) to make better contact with the stinkbug.

This is still compatible with the hygiene hypothesis. It could be that your wife grew up in a “too clean” environment and hence her immune system became hypersensitive to substances that anybody in a less clean developing country would have no issues with. She has legitimate allergies; the hygiene hypothesis just tries to explain why many people get allergies in the first place.
What is GDPR? The need-to-know guide UK
Sure, it's got nothing to do with ethics. I'm just curious how people feel about this. I'm definitely not ok with it, so I want to avoid supporting these practices.

I also don't think the fact that chickens are dumb makes it less insane and cruel to produce, torture and kill them on a massive scale.

If it were, how about pigs? They get a really shitty deal during production in animal farm as well. They are supposedly quite smart, definitely concious and able to feel pain and suffering.

The happiest moment of their lives is probably when (if) they realize they are about to be killed.
Theoretically you could write WebAssembly code that generates e.g. a bitmap, or an SVG, and have a minimal, unchanging HTML+JS "bootloader" for it.

Using browser's caching, you can save bandwidth and keep that WebAssembly code from being re-downloaded. Then you can feed it URLs serving your own content in your own compact, logical and otherwise awesome format, and have it rendered.

By that moment you will have reinvented something like Flash, only completely static.

Goes very well with raspberry and such!
Yes. But mainly only to direct my questions. Whether or not they were the primary author was mostly only important in knowing how well they knew the code in question. If it was written entirely by someone else but they fully understood the code, that worked for me, too.

It was more important to me that a candidate could reason about the code in question -- even (perhaps especially) if it was an implementation they pulled directly from an SO post. There were occasions where I'd see unique implementations of common tasks (i.e. pulling a value out of a URI string that carried an unusual formatting pattern where simply using the URI parser in .NET wouldn't have worked directly). Having worked with a few different frameworks that use unusual URI formatting, I might ask why a regular expression was used over writing a custom parser tied to the Uri type (or vice-versa) and I was more interested in hearing the argument and reasoning behind it as well as whether or not the candidate could come up with pros/cons for both methods. Sometimes it'd be a custom implementation for something that could be done directly with features available in the framework -- and often the answer was obvious[0].

And a little humility doesn't hurt, either. I remember asking why someone used a regular expression to do some rather involved data extraction from an HTML source versus using something like Angle# and I recall the response was something along the liens of "Well, it started with pulling just URLs for a limited case and exploded into getting some metadata around the link, but it was for something at home and I put a total of ten seconds into thinking about how to do it right and if it stopped working completely, it didn't affect me all that much". Good enough; a lot of developers would go off into tall weeds defending bad code rather than just saying "sometimes the tolerance for error greatly exceeds the availability of time" or "I just didn't care enough" -- especially in an interview where you are hyper-sensitive about looking bad -- and we all have a bunch of very dirty scripts that "work ... mostly". Provided it's not a theme of ambivalence throughout the interview, a little honesty at a time when it's tempting to fluff gave me confidence that when that developer made a mistake, he might actually own up to it.

[0] It's either "I didn't know it could be done that way" or the most common "I wrote it before that method/call existed" -- since I was hiring for .NET positions at a time shortly after Framework 2/3.5, this was a really common situation due to many new ways of doing things arriving with Generics/LINQ. And both were acceptable answers since it took some time for a lot of .NET folks to grok generics/LINQ and understand them well enough to realize the appropriate place for them (outside of just "oh, I can make a List of anything without having to use ArrayList of object types")
None of these.

In the decade around the 2000's, we went from almost zero computer in the developed world, to virtually every household having one and they're all permanently connected through a high speed network.

That's a new universe of unplanned threats and attack vectors. None of this was anticipated when operating systems were designed, a few years before release.
I agree. I have used gnus for email in the past, but when I discovered notmuch I moved to it immediately. Gnus can work if you want to treat your email like a News Group. Not a bad approach for email lists for example, where you are mostly a reader and occasionally a contributor, and you rarely need to find an old message that you've already read. But it's not quite the right model for the way most people deal with the rest of their email which is one-to-one or small group threads.

Notmuch is like the best of the newsgroup and email models. It has a great threaded view, tagging and filtering are easy, but it still makes everything very easy to find when you need it.

Also in combination with w3m it does a really good job at rendering HTML emails in plain text. Even those with tables and other layout tend to be rendered very accurately within the constraints of a fixed font plain text view.

It's plenty unless you're sharing it with multiple people. You're more likely to get slowdowns from the remote server or because your computer has to interpret a zillion layers of JavaScript.

Also check that you're getting the service you pay for. Most plans are "up to" N Mbps. It's pretty common to get 3 Mbps down on a nominally 10mbps connection. Cable internet in particular is prone to congestion in densely populated areas if the ISP hasn't installed sufficient bandwidth. And assuming you're using wifi, signal strength/quality/interference can affect your download speeds as well. There are plenty of tools available to investigate that.

That’s one of the things that work well at small scale (no real boss! Democacy! Sensible decisions!) but tends to fail at scale: i am a coop member (UK) and even a building society member (which is basically the same thing, just dedicated to real estate and banking), but I just can’t get myself to vote, because I don’t know anything about the candidates or the dynamics.

I think co-ops are great for actual workers (i witnessed myself the best side of this), but once they grow they inevitably onboard a lot of other people and the whole concept goes a bit out of the window.

There is also the pathology of a cooperative that needs to change to survive, but it’s forbidden doing so by members. E.g. a transport coop with a lot of buggy-whip technicians will find it hard to switch to a car-based model, because “buggy-whippers” are not going to vote themselves out of a job.
Both html and markdown miss various org-specific features, like code fragments, drawers (imagine that one could want them to be able top open and close on click), task states, etc.

A general-purpose markup language like XML would be an ideal intermediate export format; XSLT can basically emit anything.

return fib_tail_recurse(n, i+1, cur_sum+prev_sum, cur_sum)

Having access to (even anonymized) data about who makes what trip would be amazing, and would allow for much more sophisticated analysis. Sadly, this data is not available...

What would be particularly interesting is to see whether people really use it for regular commute to work (therefore replacing public transport), or rather for some of those irregular morning trips (doctor's appointments, meetings, ...).
Servo components will continue to be uplifted into Gecko (e.g. WebRender and Pathfinder are on track to be in Firefox later this year).

Other than Greece, recent examples of brutal govenment spending cuts can be found in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The cuts there were actually worse, both in relative and absolute terms.

Latvia for example had a 26% drop in GDP and a 55% drop in housing prices at the peak of the crisis. On many levels, 20-33% of public servants were fired, with the remainers' already low wages reduced by 20-33%.
I’ve reduced what I’ve read about cancer and skin cancer down to the following:

Cancer is essentially triggered by damage to cellular DNA which results in a “pathological” strand. That strand then multiplies throughout our bodies through cell regrowth with the pathological DNA.

Sun light “flips the dice” with our skin cell DNA, among just generally harming our skin. Some people go their whole lives without any pathological DNA damage, and others not so much.

The skin cells of Caucasians have little to no natural defense to the sun’s rays.

Add as an anecdote: I saw a documentary with a girl born without any pigment (I think?). I forget the exact specifics. But she has to walk around in a 100% UV blocking hood and completely covering draped clothing when the sun is out. If any UV touches her skin she will get cancer then and there. She had a hole in the fabric of one of her hoods as a toddler and they had to do things to counteract that (I think they cut away that skin).

That's an ad-hominem argument. And Shashi Tharoor is pretty far in my mind from Hindu nationalism. He's a member of the party that Hindu nationalists oppose.

Fails to mention that the Industrial Revolution didn't reach India for a long time because colonial government taxes on domestically produced goods stunted the growth of Indian industry.

In fact the only substantive argument the article makes is that various armed forces in India and the colonial Indian army was a professional fighting force that went to battle for whoever paid them. And that the British took over India by playing one rival faction against the other and ultimately screwing over both. Which has very little to do with the reasons for India's relative lack of development.

On balance I'll still admit that the British were responsible for making India a united nation. And India after independence adopted less-than-ideal economic policies, and suffers from lots of corruption that hobbles growth. But to pretend that looting isn't a legacy of colonial rule is wilful blindness.
The process demonstrated can be adapted to a wide variety of environments, containers or not.
