It reminds me of that dystopian mega simcity city that was on the front page a few days ago.

I guess people in that city feel the same ... they need their familiar chains in their cookie cutter neighborhoods or they feel lost.
I usually just say “u slash username” or “r slash subredditname.” Not terribly awkward.
In order to know the how's and why's of the M&A teardown, you probably have to pay. I'm certain that their detailed analysis includes good explanations of how they know that flange is excessive, but they're not going to tell you for free.
if certain layers were rendered before the rest, knowing which is which could help optimization.
It won't work. There are 37,607,912,018 prime numbers smaller than 1,000,000,000,000. It's 11 decimal digits vs. 13. All the compression comes from the information that it is a prime number.

To point to the "Nth prime" would require almost as many digits as the prime itself. Mabe it's more efficient for very large primes, but I don't think so.

O(0), my offence(0) is rank it smells to heaven;
It hath the primal(1) eldest curse upon't,
A brother's murder. Pray can I not(0),
Though inclination be as sharp as will:
My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent;
And, like a man to(2) double(2) business bound,
I stand in pause where I shall first(1) begin,
And both neglect. What if this cursed hand
Were thicker than itself with brother's blood,
Is there not(0) rain enough in the sweet heavens
To(2) wash it white as snow? Whereto(2) serves mercy
But to(2) confront the visage of offence(0)?
And what's in prayer but this two-fold(2) force(4),
To(2) be forestalled(4) ere we come to(2) fall,
Or pardon'd being down? Then I'll look up;
My fault is past. But, O(0), what form of prayer
Can serve my turn? 'Forgive me my foul murder'?
That cannot(0) be; since I am still possess'd
Of those effects for which I did the murder,
My crown, mine own ambition and my queen.
May one(1) be pardon'd and retain the offence(0)?
In the corrupted currents of this world
Offence's(0) gilded hand may shove by justice,
And oft 'tis seen the wicked prize itself
Buys out the law: but 'tis not(0) so above;
There is no(0) shuffling, there the action lies
In his true nature; and we ourselves compell'd,
Even to(2) the teeth and forehead(4) of our faults,
To(2) give in evidence. What then? what rests?
Try what repentance can: what can it not(0)?
Yet what can it when one(1) can not(0) repent?
O(0) wretched state! O(0) bosom black as death!
O(0) limed soul, that, struggling to(2) be free,
Art more engaged! Help, angels! Make assay!
Bow, stubborn knees; and, heart with strings of steel,
Be soft as sinews of the newborn babe!
All may be well.
Antitrust to break up monopolies?
Yes, underneath the large-ish TV in the lounge, and then latterly next to a small 12 inch black and white TV in my room. The +2A lived on my desk in my room next to the new 14inch colour TV bought specially for it. The same TV was used for my C64 and, after than, Amiga. If they were better shielded, and sat next to a smaller TV, that might explain why they suffered no ill-effects.

Man, if that's the reason... I feel irritated with myself even now. Thanks for possibly solving the mystery.
Correct me if I'm wrong but if you get sourdough made at some other place after couple of weeks your local culture will take over thus sourdough will loose that other place uniqueness so to speak. But I'm not an expert just something I remember when I was interested in sourdough and pizza making.

Class B player chess here.

Yes and no. What would make you think that memorizing openings is so addictive? Unless you're playing chess for a living, master 2 or 3 openings (queen or kings side) is more than enough and usually so much more effective than knowing superficially a wide range of openings.

Not that true also that defined openings will put the game in a more tactical rather than strategic position. It depends on the opening, and mostly the strategic vs. tactical approach depends on the middle game and on the type of players. Look at Casablanca (strongly strategic) and Tal/Morphy (strongly tactical).

While most people concentrate on memorizing as much as openings the possibly can, I do recommend to learn more end-game variants.
Even average chess players (Class C, B, A) don't usually have a good understanding of end-games and that's what makes the different between a good players and a very good player (ie. IM).

Because precision is relative and in this case, with such an 'artsy' map, it does not matter that much.
It's not a great "engineer's guide" though.

My main issue at a glance is it's too linear "Day 7 Add another round of ingredients. Day 8 You are done".

it doesn't work that predictably. You have to describe the outcome you're waiting for, it might happen on an earlier day or later. For SW engineers, it's a "while (!ready())" loop, not a "for (day in 1..8)" loop.

Maybe it worked that way once for the OP. But it will vary. For SW engineers, this is a "works on my machine" type issue.
Ask HN: How do you share assets with co-founders?
Passwords/logins are relatively straightforward to share but how do you share an account that requires a phone number? Both of us can't have the same phone number and even mapping it to an "office/2FA dongle" phone is a bit inconvenient.

The issue isn't so much trust as it is about transparency and survivability (i.e. if something happens to one person, the other founders can still have access).
Here's the bit that resonates with issues often discussed on HN:

"I believe that Marx and Engels would have regretted not anticipating the manifesto’s impact on the communist parties it foreshadowed. They would be kicking themselves that they overlooked the kind of dialectic they loved to analyse: how workers’ states would become increasingly totalitarian in their response to capitalist state aggression, and how, in their response to the fear of communism, these capitalist states would grow increasingly civilized."
Also, "too, too solid flesh," "double, double, toil and trouble," etc. etc.
Yeah: Kempston joystick port plugged into the back. I also had a light pen that had a separate adapter so there was some swapping around from time to time. Always with the computer switched off, mind. Loose connections on one of the adapters might explain it.

Not sure what the problem with the +2A would have been though, because it had proper joystick ports, and I'd stopped using the light pen by then.
I've resolved to always get the company to agree to give me feedback prior to working on a coding project. No guarantee of feedback, and I walk.

I don't pay through my nose for healthcare. According to a quick Google search, it seems to be about what the average US resident pays (while I'm above average in income for my country). For that price, I don't ever have to worry about going to a doctor or hospital. I'm feeling sick - I go to the doctor. I have a toothache - I go to the doctor. I think I broke my finger - I go to the hospital, wait a few hours, and learn that everything is alright. I can't imagine having to wonder if the visit is really necessary, because I need the money. I don't want to have to choose between health and money. For me, this is comfort.

Additionally, I have friends with chronic diseases. They cannot emigrate to the USA, because they couldn't pay the medicine. That doesn't sound like a first-world country to me, where you cannot afford to treat your sickness, even though you've got skills and a paying job. That sounds like a bad dystopian movie.

Developers need to be extremely careful to make sure their lowest target is Windows 7. Nowadays Microsoft is doing everything to make sure the lowest target is Windows 10. Windows 7 is the last traditional version of Windows and there is a huge number of people interested in keeping it this way. Some of us are just interested in getting our work done.
Oh i have no doubt if you live there you forget about each MRT station surrounded by 25 cameras, the 5 police men patrol groups with two carrying full auto MP5s, that it’s in some way OK to require an $80,000 permit just to buy a car, the police that wear body armour in the most seriously controlled country in the world, the complete and utter dependence on the state. I totally get how those things blend in and seem normal at a point, that’s exactly how it’s supposed to work.

Don’t get me wrong I was fascinated by SG, but it’s not real. Not real in the same way say NYC or Tokyo are real. It’s beautiful, but it’s the air conditioned city top to bottom inside and out.

I’ve spent enough time there and around the world to know what I was looking at. Beautiful though.
Many police make $100,000+ per year. The police chief is often politically connected to expensive corporate-exec donors.

And, one would have to be SUPREMELY naive to think that a system of informal kickbacks doesn't exist between rich people and the police officers they know.
"DDT was arguably one of the safer insect repellents ever invented—far safer than many of the pesticides that have taken its place."

Thats missleading, because we don't really use pesticices against mosquitos anymore.

Main "pesticide" today is a living bacteria which targets Mosquitos directly and apparently with not much side-effects to the nature besides reducing mosquitos and totally non-toxic to mammals.

Recipe is fine for sure, and I was doing this for a long time, but some time ago I have learned superior way of keeping sourdough.

The oft cited recipe asks for feeding it every day and also keeping something like 100% hydration. Remembering to feed it every day is a major hassle for me.

My sourdough is a piece of bread dough that is enough to use for my next batch. Basically, after first rise and before I shape my bread, I will cut something between 50-200g of dough, put it in a glass container with a small hole for air circulation and store it in the fridge. I will not feed the starter. Next time I make bread I will take it out of the fridge and mix it with measured amount of warm water that is going to be used for the bread.

Advantages:

- no separate feeding, you cut a piece of bread, and you use it as part of next one,

- hydration and salt level matches your bread recipe which means you can add way more or less starter and the bread will still have the same hydration and salt level,

- the hydration and salt level makes it stable in a fridge for a very long time, I have tested up to 3 weeks with no ill effects and I decided not to stretch it any more. I was only able to keep the traditional 100% hydration no-salt starter for only about a week or risk it spoiling.

I also use a spreadsheet to aid calculations (I plan to make android app but I somehow never have time to finish it): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lSBl3kjAeitBUH75DEIR...

Thanks for your feedback - I think you're right about showing the aircraft is registered even if a subscription has lapsed - it's the right thing to do.

I'll think of a way to queue the notifications to the owner so that they get sent once a subscription has been set back up, and a warning to them that someone has their drone in the meantime.
There's a version of draughts, Wikipedia calls it International Draughts, which is quite popular in Europe but not very well known in English-speaking countries, played on a 10x10 board. Apparently the world champion hasn't yet been defeated by a computer. The world champions have always been Europeans, with the exception of a couple from French colonies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Draughts_World_Champio...
But why? Why give the government such a ripe target for abuse? Why tilt the balance of power even further in its favor?
Jeff Bezos' cushy job was at D. E. Shaw Group and according to the book The Everything Store, he worked with D. E. Shaw directly, the man who was part of the quant trading wall street innovation. When the internet was starting, they worked together to see what kind of business opportunities might come about due to this new technological innovation, and that's where they came up with the idea for the everything store. Shaw wanted Bezos to build the everything store within the company but Bezos decided to leave and build it on his own in Washington (picked because of their small population and thus less need to collect sales tax and proximity to Silicon Valley). Bezos then proceeded to hire people from his old team at D. E. Shaw after their non-compete of 2 years passed. After their IPO, he let many of his people go to restructure. I could be totally wrong or the book might be lies, but I found that history scary.

Main point though is that Bezos was literally a genius, he was part of an experimental educational program for gifted children, and he was one of the most gifted in that program. He was also ruthless. I want to say, how could you not bet on someone like that? He was working with geniuses, had a vision, and the ability to lead them.
perhaps instead of trying to capture the energy: a (set of) heat pipes to the colder side of the craft?

if the temperature difference between hot and cold side is too large one might need multiple heat pipes in series each operating at their own temperature. The hot side heat pipe might only act as a heat pipe as it nears its operating temperature, i.e. it might be solid during travel, then melt during the first phase of entry, and only reach both vapour and liquid phase -thus enabling it to work as a heat pipe- during the hottest part of re-entry
This sounds like something I tell people when they ask me when I should buy a computer and my answer is "next week". The next computer will always be better than the one you can get today. However, you can't really use a computer you haven't purchased yet, so it's not really better in practice.

The story doesn't exist to discuss the right approach to curing death, or the most efficient and expedient way to get there, or the current techniques in the field.

The story exists to help get people to the baseline point of acknowledging that death is bad, because even that much can be shockingly non-universal. If we could get to a point where a large fraction of people genuinely believed that, then the rest of the problem becomes far easier.

If the primary problem was simply "how do we solve this", that'd be hard enough.
Yes - its happening in all wireless societies (hint!).
Haha that's true. The beauty and difficulty is that there is always a little bit of random in every recipe. We would need a docker machine as kitchen in which we bake to avoid any side effects. Every oven, every flour is different.
One of the scariest examples of this phenomenon is the lobbying that police and prison guard unions do:

I like making sourdough because it's tasty, you can experiment, and unlike software it's entirely analogue and biological not digital. We're dealing with bugs not bugs.
That is truly amazing! How old is their starter culture, do you know?
I go to the doctor when I’m sick too, imagine that! And I too have a chronic disease for which I pay a princely sum of $10/mo as a co-pay for medication. It is true that Americans pay quite a bit more for healthcare. But our doctors make quite a bit more than European ones, too. I do like it when the person treating me is well off, and their income is largely decoupled from the whims of a random unelected government bureaucrat.

It’s also true that the health insurance system badly needs an overhaul. But I’d very much like to keep it private, because our government is a money black hole.
I'm only really comfortable with the model I've chosen and since people are already paying for it (the service is paying for itself right now which is great) I think it's been validated.

There is scope for offering a higher specification service to commercial operators but I'm not sure I want to get involved with the liability aspects - I did build this for my own purposes in the first place and I figured I could provide a cheap, reliable service to other hobbyists.

Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate the time you spent.
> There's everything from overpopulation to society become stagnant to universal boredom and beyond to consider.

If you stop to consider that at all, it's equivalent to stopping to consider the idea that "old people are wasting our resources, maybe there's some value in killing them off once they start repeating themselves too much". Because it's the exact same thing but one is shoot them with a gun and the other is deny them healthcare to prolong life. Nothing wrong with considering that of course, but it should never be a reason to avoid discovering immortality.
Hello Bryan,

you started the company having already a pool of people you knew and trusted.

What if you don't have that? I'm worried about security aspects, hacking, etc...

How is it possible to start a company with remote hires and still have trust that they won't run away with your code, etc... Especially if the remote hires are in another jurisdiction where legal recourse might be hard or impossible?

Thanks
I think the minimalist approach could be a companion to this style behavior augmentation.

Rather than adding things that could be done, I only add tasks that have to be done. Overtime, my "bandwidth" for tasks I don't like doing become much greater and, in some cases, I begin to enjoy them.

Adding accountability around the tasks helps a lot (in my experience) as well. I frequently use my guilt as a way to motivate me.

Ex:

- If you don't write these tests, your co-worker will assume you don't know how.

- If you don't clean your room, your guests will think you're a slob.

Admittedly, it leads to sort of a masochist style of thinking; however, that's my brain by nature.
For every one person working on addressing aging and death, thousands are looking at other problems. Nobody is advocating that every other problem should be ignored, simply that we could stand to adjust the balance.

(Apart from that, I'd say that the caricature you're depicting is not particularly good at responding to people in a productive or endearing way, which is unrelated to the problem itself.)
by everyone I meant human. Yes, dogs for example are allergic to cats.
This story touches a nerve for me because I recently tried to make a small market service but couldn't get it off the ground specifically because of money laundering concerns from my payments processor (Stripe). They shut me down even though I was a small player and would have been very low risk for large money laundering transactions (which I could have detected anyways). I guess they had a point - it would have been very hard for me to detect and eliminate money laundering from my service, if it was done very cleverly. However, in doing research for my anti-money-laundering strategy (that they had requested) I came to the conclusion that not only could I not solve that problem - no one could! After all, all one has to do to launder money through Venmo is label all the transactions as alcohol purchases. All one has to do to launder money through Stripe is tell them you're selling pizza (hypocrites)! And now apparently all one has to do to launder money through Amazon is sell a crappy book for $25,000. For that reason I'm sort of annoyed to have been shut down. Oh well, I've got other plans now...

Edit: To be fair to Stripe, they did tell me that it was not them, but their underwriters that were responsible for the decision.

"When they banned all filament lightbulbs, everyone was saying how bad it would be for the economy, but the industry was just forced to innovate and just a couple years later everyone is 95% on LEDs."

First they started by mandating enviroment and if broken, human "friendly" mercury lamps as a replacement. And even without the regulation, LED's were about to make the breakthrough. And since energy(money) saving is a factor for many people, I would argue it would have come anyway. Maybe even some time later, but with people willingly accepting it and without hating the EU for mandating light for them which was ugly and dark. Because the common energy saving lamp at that time was a catastrophe aesthetically and practically.

But this is different, pesticides are activly damaging the enviroment for everyone. Classic case for what regulation was invented - and this should never get mixed up with regulations which mandate certain energy savings to everyone. This is something people do anyway, if not for the global effect, but for their wallet. So you can maybe assist progress in that area, but never mandate it as people will then start to hate energy saving because now they are forced to do it by the evil government.
I'm not sure you can use the serial on the sticker of a refurbished PC. The sticker is not a license as well as the serial on this sticker is not an OS license.

The original license holder cannot transfer the OS license (unless a company is being bought by other company) so using the serial on the sticker of a refurbished PC by the new owner is generally illegal.

Probably the damages for MS come from refurbishers "assisting" their customers to install OS from repair CDs using serials from stickers left from previous PC owners -- clearly not legal.
