It was an experimental design and as the article says, it was very expensive. Titanium was not just expensive, but it was hard to use. Welding had to be done in an inert gas chamber.

Imagine building an inert gas chamber for a submarine.

I think that's a better overall article than the original link.

New reactor design was experimental as well. Lead bismuth mixed had to be kept 120'C or higher. But it was much easier to increase it power momentarily, say if they wanted to chase someone.

There is also a youtube video about it among others:

You're right. Engineering [0] and engineer quality [1] in general in China is way better than in India. It is not even a competition. For instance, Google isn't setting up shop in India for their AI labs [2]. Another instance is when large internet companies in India sought talent from overseas when faced with big-company scale problems [3].

Also, my experience having worked and interviewed candidates in India for over 8yrs doesn't seem to disagree with that sentiment at all.

Not in the US Navy. Part of the reason the US Navy standardized on PWR is that while it's not the most efficient it is something you can restart at depth if necessary. The lesson of how much that matters was driven home by the loss of the USS Thresher.

I think this article misrepresents "skeptics". "Disincentive to work" is really only one reason to be skeptical, and I'd argue not a good one. I'm more concerned about potential unintended consequences that wouldn't manifest in small scale studies such as this one. For example, suppose UBI leads to inflation after 5 years but only once it is truly national-scale. Small-scale studies may not even look at this metric, or be able find correlation if they did. By the time it was apparent, choice would be to roll it back and cause social upheaval, or continue inflation, both of which could hurt the people UBI is designed to help most.

Obviously I don't have any data to know if UBI leads to inflation or not, but that's sort of the point. Ideally we'd have data on this and other effects beyond just "does it help individuals?", but those effects may be difficult to test.
Ask HN: How do you continuously monitor web logs for hack attempts?
what is the generally accepted best practice to be monitoring web logs for anomalous accesses ?

do you guys just throw cloudflare in front and forget about it ? Or do you have engineers who work like data scientists - eyeball the logs ?

I have heard suggestions of using a firewall - but I'm genuinely curious on how do security focus companies discover things like "oh, we got attacked by Bitcoin miners from North Korea". Are there sophisticated tools that do this for you.. or is there a generally accepted practice that has evolved for even regular engineers to do this ?

P.S. I'm personally more interested in an API-focused answer, but I guess the same thing applies for websites.

For laptop setup at a company you should be using some sort of MDM software. It's essentially configuration management, but with the understanding that this is for users who will want to change things. If you're an all Mac shop, take a look at Jamf or at Fleetsmith. If you've got a mix, there are some products like Airwatch that support Windows and Mac. These tools allow you to set up applications and configurations. I generally run a white-listed "app" store where users can download apps, scripts and new configurations. Or alternatively you can force install anything you really need.

I'll also second using Docker or virtual machines if possible. It makes the setup and continued support much easier.

The category you land in is "Hot" which represents items that are new and popular. They generally end up being movies/tv series that are soon to be released.

If watch enough or click "Browse", you can start watching things based on what VOD you have (Netflix, Hulu, etc), what genre you're interested in, general rating, and more.

We thought that new-comers to the site would be more interested in seeing a trailer for Venom, Avengers, or Deadpool than seeing a trailer for Jaws or Scarface.

You can definitely browse the VOD, newly added, genres, etc to find something for right now at home... but you can also learn what's coming out, what's out now, and what was recently released (soon to be on DVD).
Clickbait title, should be something like "What Windows 95 did right" or "Product design lessons from Windows 95".

That may be so, but now that it can afford it, Amazon has every intention of becoming a monopoly in the markets it enters. It's why they bought the #1 retailer in the Middle East, too:

http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-amazon-s...

People love Amazon now, but I think it's time to fear it. They're already in bed with governments for multi-billion contracts, and are aiming for monopoly power. They won't behave well for much longer, and I'd argue they've already started behaving badly (raising prices on consumers, lowering commissions on affiliates, and so on).
What a bizarre thing to say.

Over the last 18 years I have regularly had the opportunity to work with engineers located in India (while I was based in the UK and the US). Some projects were huge, some were small -- ranging from 2-3 engineers to hundreds. The vast majority of individuals I worked with were excellent at their job, and a delight to work with. Same as the ones I've worked with who have emigrated to Europe or America.

Emigration is not proof of an individual's superior powers, nor is non-emigration evidence of lack thereof.
This will make sure the india e-commerce landscape remains competitive. Otherwise Flipkart would have run out of cash to bleed soon.

There are actually a few possible synergizes, but less likely with their acquisition of JET.

Google's AI tech is superior than others in image and speech recognition as well as search. This mostly has to do with them literally buying all the AI talent.

> MMT requires a nation that is internally self-sufficient when it comes to basic supplies

To be fair, isn't this a lot like saying, "MMT requires conditions that don't generally exist"? What modern economy isn't shopping internationally for the best prices on basic supplies?

Ultimately this condition seems to imply that MMT requires either 1) a subject economy to be the most efficient producer of all basic supplies (probably impossible, and if achieved then impossible for any other economy) or 2) a prohibition on the import of basic supplies (despotic and economically dysfunctional). Is this correct?

This is making me think of Import Substitution Industrialization (ISI) in Latin America. It was a strategy to become economically self-sufficient, but it didn't work out well.
Modern HTTP has been made fairly efficient, especially with HTTP/2. I think the overhead is more in the data formats that are in common use, like XML/JSON, but with adoption of GRPC which combines Protobuf with HTTP/2 I think a lot of this is going to be more efficient. It's not as efficient as it could be, but we're also getting a lot of features and functionality for it too.

Publishers should provide editing, marketing, and typesetting.

Generally, typesetting is a given. Outline design and line (grammar) editing is usually a given, but may vary in quality and depth. Customer marketing is often non-existent.

Publishers don't think of book buyers as customers. They think of book stores and book chains as customers. With a few exceptions, that's where marketing spend is usually directed.

Access to book chain buyers is how publishers justify their existence.

Kindle was a revolution because it gave authors direct access to a huge potential audience. Kindle can be great for fiction, but it's pretty much useless for professional technical non-fic unless an author has a significant social following.

If you want to publish a book you can do it on Leanpub, or you can try to sell PDFs from your own site. Leanpub is probably a better bet, but nothing will help you more than that solid social following.
Disclosure: I'm at Boom, which is building a Mach-2.2 airliner. https://boomsupersonic.com/

I think it all depends on how much cost savings for how much speed. In today's dollars, a round-trip ticket on Concorde from New York to London was $20,000, or 4x today's business class price. For that, you got a tiny seat in a cramped cabin.

What we're targeting at Boom is an improvement over business class. We're making it profitable for airlines to operate the plane at today's business class fares. We're getting you there in half the time. And instead of a cramped two-and-two cabin arrangement, it's a one-and-one configuration (every seat is a window AND an aisle). The seats are similar to today's domestic first class seats, only designed for productivity.

So the choice a business traveler could soon face is: Would you like to get from New York to London in 7 hours in a lay-flat bed, or in 3h15m in a comfortable, productive environment? Price is the same either way. We think most people will pick the supersonic flight.

It should be noted also that the premium cabin market today is much larger than it was a few decades ago.

And finally, premium-cabin economics are only the first step. We think there's a roadmap to making supersonic flight cheaper than subsonic flight is today. It will take a few decades, but that is absolutely the path that Boom is on.
That may well be true, but it's just not detailed in those charts.

A very brief search resulted in this:

If that's accurate, it suggests that Manitoba, which, though known as more agricultural and manufacturing rather than mining, has the same pattern of "real estate" accounting for individual income. Of course, the significant majority of the population is in Winnipeg, but I don't think that qualifies it as a major, on the same scale as Vancouver or Toronto.

Again, I think that even real estate "industry" workers in Winnipeg know their money really comes from manufacturing, just as the ones in Edmonton know their money really comes from oil.

Maybe in the major cities you mention it's not so obvious, but "real estate" still fails to eclipse the sum of all the industries that actually produce something (manufacturing, resource extraction, construction).

Concerning the phones, I do know and I do own still a phone like that, I was just being sarcastic.

I believe that the "free" utility is decreasing, leaving space for some junk no one really uses (any smartphone comes with dozens of functionalities that we'll never use but are paying for) and paid features. These last features add utility, but for some reason, they are not included originally.

When I bought my first computer, with Windows 98, it came with Microsoft Office, Photoshop and a few other "free" tools. I've paid for the computer and those additional features were already there. It's added value that you now have to pay for and that's not only Microsoft's responsibility (at least, concerning Photoshop).

The same way you have to pay for several of the apps you've listed, such as Uber, Netflix, some Google services, Spotify premium... I don't recall the existence of "premium features" for what I used in 1995, but Spotify is the perfect example of what I illustrated in the graph.

The free version adds some utility, the paid version increases its utility and there's some junk in between that no one really listens to.
>"I find most people are naive of the problem especially in the west coast states, unless they spend a lot of time outdoors either recreationally, or landscaping, gardening, ranching, farming, hunting, etc."

Right but those different groups of people would have also existed 15 years ago so this is not really relevant. I'm just asking if the group that does care about it is more vigilant and careful than before, and if that could explain it.

>"You certainly want to check yourself after going out, but for dogs and animals the difference is just very outwardly obvious as you will see them crawling on their fur, on their beds, or you feel the lumps on their skin once they embed if you are petting them. Anecdotally this was not something I ever found 15+ years ago in the exact same environments."

Ok, so the answer is that the level of vigilance required to notice a difference is so low that it can't be the primary explanation? Regarding the dog anecdote though. If it is 15 years later the dogs are either much older or different dogs, so they may be rolling around in different areas, etc. Still interesting but that is why anecdotes are anecdotes.
Seems really useful, but if my knowledge of flash memory is accurate, this testing process could highly degrade the memory you run it on. Due to quantum tunneling, erasures are very hard on flash memory, often the limiting endurance factor. That is one method mentioned for testing the chip in the article. Writing all 1's then erasing to all 0's multiple times to see what percentage are correct. On an already dated device this could be catastrophic!

> The inflation impact from UBI should be non existent as the money is taxed from other parts of the economy vs. being created from thin air.

Since demand profile and propensity to consume are not consistent across all sectors, transfers of income from one sector to another can reasonably be expected to have effects on general and particular price levels.

Generally, a downward transfer should have some positive first-order effect on inflation. There's good reason to expect this to be modest compared to the size of the transfer so that the recipients have increased buying power just slightly smaller than the pre-transfer prices would suggest.

(OTOH, given the existence of actively managed monetary policy that targets inflation, that first-order effect should itself largely just change the landscape for fiscal policy, translating into less net effect on inflation than without monetary policy and higher interest rates.)
I start at the base, eat in a row down to the narrow part, then spiral around the narrow part then finish off with more rows.

This is probably the fastest method? First, the big kernels are easiest to start with, hence starting at the base. Going by row is just 1 dimension of movement across. Then clear off the narrow part since that's sort of the "trickiest" part with lots of different sized but ultimately smaller kernels. Then more rows, rotating for each row, 1 dimension of movement across. (But you do have to start back at the beginning of the row where it's already partially cleared to minimize the resistance against biting)
