As a person that grew up with standard western schooling, video games, and sports, and to some extent simply because I'm human, I'm trained to have these well-defines lines of when I accomplish something, which set off the reward centres of my brain. I have attempted to exploit this in regards to my to-do-lists to increase my productivity:

- The to-do-list is no longer just there to make sure I remember to do things - it is its own reward for doing things. Often I will add something to my to do list when I am already about to start it - and need no reminder - just so I can check it off when I'm done. Occasionally I have even added something after I've finished doing it, just for the psychological reward.

- I break things down into smaller parts to make it seem like a larger number of accomplishments than it otherwise would be. For example, today I need to make two similar online purchases - I could have easily put "Buy A and B" as one item, but instead I put "Buy A" and "Buy B". Of course, one has to draw the line somewhere, or we would end up with "get out of bed" "walk towards the door" "open the door" on our lists, and checking off tasks would mean nothing. Use your judgement.

- I put "Work on my coding project" on there, even tho I'll be unlikely to have much time for it. This means, in order to avoid having a single outstanding item at the end of the day, I will at least do some work on it, keeping it fresh in my mind, keeping me in the habit, and inching me towards completing it - and preventing me from outright procrastinating it until tomorrow. Even if it's five minutes work.

These are of course silly psychological tricks that directly accomplish nothing, made even stranger by the fact that I'm using them on myself. Of course, one could say the same about drugs, but nobody would argue that caffeine or amphetamine never give you a genuine boost just because you don't strictly need them. And, I feel that it works.

Now here's the challenge - stop the structured procrastination of writing this comment and go do the things on my to-do-list.

Hmm... should I add "write a comment about to-do-lists" to my to do list...?

Progressives don't love regulation, but they also don't have a superstitious dread of it. Progressives want to use the right tool for the job. In some cases, that is regulation. In particular, when the consequences of a decision cannot be internalized, so the pursuit of self-interest is not sufficient to produce societally optimal solutions, regulation can correct this market failure.
Not sure if Intel has other problems, but there are limits to how small things can get with a particular wavelength of light. DUV (deep ultraviolet) is at 193nm. They've been able to etch significantly smaller than the wavelength by using immersion (water has a higher index of refraction) and some fancy tricks with multiple exposures under different masks (multi-patterning). But all that had to be done because there were no suitable light sources with shorter wavelength. EUV (extreme ultraviolet) has a wavelength of only 13.5nm so a lot of complexity will go away when it comes on line. However EUV still has some challenges ahead and will probably be deployed slowly. Then, shortly after the introduction of EUV, there are other physical limits around 5nm. The lithography end-game is very near.

It's been really amazing to watch this progression for several decades. The end was declared near a number of times but people always found ways to keep going, but I truly believe it's almost over this time.

On a planet with high gravity and a thick atmosphere, doesn’t the Space Ship One launch protocol become much more cost effective than launching from sea level?

And similarly don’t launches from the equator become more critical to success, due to delta-v increasing faster than v due to rotation?

My philistine crackpot theory is that the printing press turned poetry from a mass-participation living art into a weird modern-art niche, gradually over a few centuries. The process was already advanced by the 19th century (thus you see Coleridge and Wordsworth wanting to get back in touch with living language). Modern poetry seems to me like visiting MOMA in New York: most of it not worth puzzling over, until you reach the 100+-year-old works on the top floor.

I'm surely missing some great stuff, but I support your feeling of not getting it.
I know you're speaking hyperbolically, but the fact is: probably everyone needs an office. Thus, there has to be some method of distributing them-- which like every other distribution system in the history of man, will be undermined.

We're probably both right. I did exaggerate slightly - what I said was true but not always - if you had a really strong signal the problem might not be noticeable, and I'd expect that the different frequency bands used in different countries made a difference as well. It was certainly a huge frustration for me - the product was not fit for purpose. Easily worked around sure, but still a big deal.
Yeah I was expecting the uninitialized to be the same as the zeroed case for that reason, but was surprised to see a (slightly) different result.

Edit: you are almost certainly right. I added a getrusage call before and after, and we have ~50k soft page faults in the uninitialized case and ~2 in the zeroed case during the memmem.
Google Analytics is wildly inaccurate
But, ignoring things like air resistance, the lower the thrust is, the more delta-V/energy it takes to escape?

For instance, if you had a rocket with a fixed delta-V and it used all of its energy almost instantaneously, say it escapes from Earth. But if you lower its thrust so that it is not accelerating upward (lower than the force of gravity), it could use the same delta-V without leaving the ground.

Bill Stein is a genius programmer, and Sage is quite the accomplishment. I wish he was more Chern, less Yau. I go to talks where people credit Sage where I know decades of Singular effort were responsible. (I coauthored a similar system; this is a life's work one is dismissing.) Sage was just the envelope, until he could replace the content, in this case unlikely to happen. I wish he was more interested in fixing this sort of user confusion. Draw your own conclusions.
I'm going to assume you're joking. BTW, I've never had anything against Facebook, but every day I learn something creepy about them from reliable sources like Brian Krebs and Graham Cluley. It's disturbing.
That does not make sense about the species-ist part because damage or loss to one particular species has all sorts of context-specific ripple effects to everything else.

One would need to assess what if any damage the decrease or extinction of a particular species would cause to the ecology as a whole and the other life forms in it, humans included.
It already exists.

Is product quality degrading on the internet over time?

It used to be that once a week or longer I would find some amusing bug. But now it's not uncommon for that I encounter dozens of bugs daily on various popular services that are worth $millions or $billions, which is just obnoxious. Not only that, but usually the services have no way of filing a bug report or getting in touch with support.

It seems like internet giants are becoming too big for their britches, and also they're forcing each other into this insane cycle of "ship first, fix later" just to stay competitive.

What can we do about this, if anything?
I would very much NOT recommend using something like parinfer; IMO if one is learning lisp, one ought not to try to avoid the parentheses, but rather learn the advantages of using them. So instead of parinfer, use paredit and learn the key bindings for moving up/down/formard one sexpr at a time. It's frustrating at first, but after a few days, you will never want to go back to line oriented languages.

China is totally infested with these herbal "medicines" (TCM). It's not just that drink, it's everywhere. Doctors at hospitals and private clinics prescribe them, pharmacies sell them alongside real medicine. Most people believe they're medicine and don't even know which are herbal and which aren't. It's their equivalent to homeopathy but mainstream instead of restricted to a few nutters.

I've never had a question closed, but do have to agree with JPGalt that there is a problem. A lot of power is vested in high-rep users who got to high rep by making lots of snap judgments. In the Qt tag, I frequently encountered high rep C++ developers guessing at answers. They knew the language, but were unfamiliar with the library and would make guesses at how things work. Then other C++ developers browsing the front page would upvote their answer because it sounded right (even if it was completely incorrect).

It's mildly annoying when wrong answers get voted up, but it's even more annoying when moderation tools are used that way. This new user got screwed over by high-ranking close voters who didn't actually read the question: https://stackoverflow.com/q/49847677/331041

I recognize that people have asked if HN is GDPR compliant, but I haven't seen an official or unofficial response. Given that HN is a marketing tool for YC, that YC has LPs from Europe as well as portfolio companies, and HN is used in the application process, I think the HN community would interested to understand how you'll be dealing with this and what you're recommending to your portfolio companies as it would be helpful for many of us that don't have the resources you do.

His opinion on the suspension design was interesting as well. He was so enthusiastic about it that he said the designer could do an F1 car, but in another part of the interview he mentioned that it was a questionable design for a car that was meant to hit a $37k price point.
Well... that's the question.

It doesn't matter if you're actually a citizen. If the government refuses to admit your citizenship, how do you get them to admit your rights apply?

I would love to get more clarification on this as well. It seems to me that if there is doubt about your citizenship, we should lean towards better safe than sorry and just grant you a lawyer, period.

The US justice system is (ostensibly, if not always in practice) based on the idea that protecting innocent people is more important than punishing guilty people. If you're being tried to see if you're a citizen, I would prefer we assume you're innocent until proven guilty and grant you a lawyer.

Is the reality as bad as people are suggesting? Is there some kind of reasoning behind this?

Going to space and living their forces the devlopment of advanced technology that can make the world eco-friendly. Water recycling, factory farming, resistant plants, nuclear power innovation, advanced solar power, syntetic fuel production, fuel cells and so on.

The attitude that we should never do anything because its not green enough is just naive. Would you have been sitting around in 1800 and tried to stop people from explointing coal?

> They only leave with super-advanced form of green technologies.

We have that technology.

We could use nuclear energy as Nuclear Thermal rockets, we can use it as a space battery, we can use it as a nuclear reactor to drive ion enignes, we can use it on mars to make rocket fuel and so.

Ironoically envoirmentalist are partly responable that we almost use no nuclear technology anymore. They advocated for 40 years against all use of nuclear energy, and the most harmful effect is widespread misunderstanding of risks. The political deadlock about all issues nuclear make it a nightmare to deal with, and that's threw your supply chain.

A Nuclear Thermal rocket was planned to be a major part of Mars exploration when von Braun thought about it in the 60s. Robert Zubrin who planned 'Mars Direct' in the early 90s, want to use a nuclear reactor to make fuel on mars and he was strongly avocating for NTRs in the second generation. Elon Musk has said that he would want nuclear reactors on mars and NTRs in later generations.

That's exactly the advanced green technology you are looking for. After our first steps we should have moved onto that next level. Sadly it has not happened and it will take a while longer. It is currently practically impossible to devlop such a technology, unless you have direct support from NASA and other governments agencies. They themselfs have little interest in doing much in this space.

So, I think space people are happy to do it as greenly as you like, but then a whole set of regulations have to change.
That's a good point. It would have to be the right set of circumstances: with unused land in close proximity to an existing city that can't manage to scale up because of entrenched interests. I suspect such areas exist (perhaps around Salt Lake City, or Las Vegas) and there might be a chance to make a true dense city in those areas rather than the sprawl that has developed naturally.
Right. But all they have to do is “have reason” to “doubt” your claim to be an American citizen. Or say you’re not the person you’re claiming to be, who they freely admit is an American citizen. Or claim that your citizenship is invalid because it was obtained via deception (which is now a thing).
My apologies that it has taken some time to respond to your points. The problem I have is that cosmologists incorporate entities that have not been experimentally verified or are impossible (at least at this time) to be experimentally verified. Just because the models appear to work actually means nothing when you cannot get any experimental verification of all the elements on which a theory or model depends. Proxy evidence is used to enhance the belief in some specific entities, but proxies are only proxies and the use of such can be very misleading.

To say that "the fundamental truth that there is dark matter..." is problematic from the get go. No experiment has demonstrated that "dark matter" of any kind exists. You cannot say that there is a fundamental "truth" anywhere in science. We have observation, we develop hypothesis which should suggest experiments to test said hypothesis and with further evidence we develop theory. At no point is either hypothesis or theory "truth". Unless, of course, your intention is to make science into a religion.

When it boils down to it, science is a way of developing understanding of the physical world about us. It may lead to changes in one's philosophical or religious viewpoint, but it doesn't have to. It is not the be all and end all of anything. It is simply a means of hopefully increasing one's understanding. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. There are many examples of experiments and the results that have been considered anathema to the consensus view that the scientists who did those experiments have been made pariahs. This is very problematic as politics and religion become the driving forces that maintain the orthodox view.

There has been and is a significant push for science to be the authoritative voice as to what one should believe. However, science gives no guidance on any matters relating to human interaction or action. If anything, it is a cause of significant problems for human interaction and action.
Thanks for the elaboration. Is there also a layman's explanation for the what makes 13.5nm lasers harder to etch with than 193nm lasers?
> Two bonus signs for the end. You can use a Geo IP database to check if the shipping address country differs from the IP address country. That's a weak sign (people do place orders while traveling, or to friends in other countries), but can break the tie if there is another suspicion.

You can add to that using the first few digits of the credit card to look up the card issuer. If the card is from a bank that does not have a presence in either the region the order is coming from or the region it is being shipped to, that order probably merits a closer look.
So if you see one of these warning signs, what should you do?

What if it is a legitimate order? You don't want to turn down a real customer?

I presume if you try contacting the person and asking them if it is a fraudulent order, they will deny it. (I suppose if you can't reach them, that is good enough indication to cancel the order as fraudulent.)

Can you call the credit card companies or payment processors and ask them to do their own fraud checks to see if it is okay, or are they going to leave you on the hook if it still goes bad? (I suspect the latter.)
