>fuel is not such a large component of the cost of a rocket launch

Surely it's a massively important cost in terms of weight? Engine efficiency isn't just about cutting costs, it's about maximising payload - and the majority of a rocket's mass is fuel. Even a 5 percent efficiency gain is a huge win for payload.
Depending on the country and on the broker, investors who own the stock can profit substantially from lending out their holdings to short sellers. Unless of course you use one of those cheapest brokers or an index fund to “lower” your transaction costs - then the broker or the fund manager will lend out the stock which you own and pocket the entire profit.

So the response to the argument: investors support the company, short sellers support the investors.

Yes, the implication was that since then we've had a volunteer army. Sorry that wasn't clear to you.

>in post-9/11 America the public was heavily led to believe that Iraq was somehow responsible or related to the 9/11 attacks such that one would have not reasonably known what they were signing up for.

Weird, I was in my early teens then and somehow managed to suss out this was not the case (as did many prominent columnists).

And the official line on Iraq was that the possessed WMD, not that they did 9/11.
We don't even know if the appearance of self-awareness is all that other humans have. We only know for sure of our own self-awareness, since that is precisely the definition of self-awareness.

For all we can prove, the appearance of self-awareness is all that is necessary for consciousness. I could be that if you point a webcam at a computer, then that computer gains some rudimentary self-awareness like an insect might have, or not have, we can't really prove it either way. Sentience is not necessarily sapience.

It could also be that computer sentience is absurd and rendered impossible by some as of yet unknown mechanic. In either case we have no reason to make assumptions about it.

Got your newly bought iPhone/iPad iCloud locked? It happens when you get a used iPhone/iPad from eBay and forget to ask the previous owner to remove his iCloud account.

Working Doulci Activator 2018 Free

In order to get out of iCloud activation lock error in iOS 11.4, you need to enter the iCloud email and password. This is the only way to bypass iCloud activation lock in iOS 11.4.1/ 11.4.2 without using any software.

Pardon my apparent impertinence in putting it this way - but isn’t the implicit contract rather obvious?

In the digital/information age, personal data is the new currency. You pay for online services with that currency. If your data (money) is more valuable to you than the value you’d derive from use of a certain service, then you don’t pay for it (and by rights, don’t get to use it). I think my money is too valuable for me to spend it on bottled water, so I drink tap water. I think my personal data is too valuable for what I’d get from using FB, so I dont use it (there’s 20+ very widely used apps to “stay in touch” and “communicate” with people).

Eventually (even a couple decades maybe), it will become a question of getting the most bang for your buck (data). If two companies offer the same sort of service, but no. 1 needs all personal info all the time (like FB today), and no. 2 only wants your location twice a day, no. 2 will be cheaper and win out. When no. 2’s executives get greedy and ask for your location 4 times a day, Reddit will squeal.

Ask HN: Splitting the application into the smaller ones like in Adobe Flash/Air
Adobe Flash/Air allows splitting application into smaller pieces in the form of SWF files. Later additional SWFs can be downloaded and loaded into the main application as documented here: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/load-external-swf-swf.html I searched if there is the same or similar concept in other languages/technologies but with no success.

While this idea doesn't seem any good from the security point of view, I would like to ask. Do you know any example of such concept in different from Flash and ActionScript languages or technologies?

I have used this at work for many, many years to answer questions about projects. Until very recently, I would basically use it kind of indirectly so that people wouldn't catch on and realize I was repeating myself, but I actually think that is a good thing and have stopped even trying to mask it.

http://hackmd.io is by far my favorite markdown editor. It supports GH style markdown but with even more features:
- Slideshow mode
- Inline graphviz/MathJAX/mermaid and some other stuff
- Collaborative GDocs-style editing (though no out of band comments)
- Image upload
- PDF export

It’s also somewhat open source (community edition is AGPL). You can host it behind a vpn for internal use.

Admittedly they’re not the most secure editor - e.g. image uploads are technically publicly accessible. Though supposedly there’s an enterprise version coming out with those features at some...point.

That's a nice idea.

Does the UI auto-refresh, or do I have to reload?
There has to be some kind of quick switch to toggle between direct input to the small screen, and using it as a touchpad. E.g drag in from outside the edge of the small screen to begin using it as a touchpad. Drag from the inside and out off the screen to switch to direct touch.

For obvious reasons it can’t be both a touchpad and a touch screen at the same time.
I've never seen "rent seeking" used with the colloquial rather than technical meaning of the word "rent".

> What do you specifically expect from Spring running on GraalVM?

Mostly performance gains you get from AOT. I think GraalVM ( or similar technologies) is going to be a game changer for all langs that compile to intermediary byte code.

Unfortunately, GraalVM does not compile Spring as Spring uses reflection a lot and GraalVM does not fully support reflection. https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/348
JavaScript – Generator-Yield/Next and Async-Await

I recently wrote a couple dozen lines of code around Windows Fibers for cooperative multitasking. This makes for much nicer code than the callback style approach from Javascript.

But anyway for a larger codebase that is about GUI interaction I figure you want more control than what these models provide. You don't want to write event handlers that "push" actions. You want to pull them and process them in a known context.

String handling in C is in general much better than its reputation. You just need to write a couple lines that format to allocated buffers. And you want to error out in case of OOM. Can't check each allocation on the spot. And you need some sort of pool that can release all allocations of the same lifetime at once. (I don't know that this approach is practical for typical web applications, which are extremely string-heavy. It is indeed quite practical for games or compilers.)
It is highly likely that aspects of cells exploit quantum effects as they exploit tons of advanced and amazing molecular chemistry techniques already.

Whether brains exploit quantum effects on a larger scale than just locally within cells is harder to know. It is possible for sure as we have evolved complex macro structures like eye balls as long as there were viable and useful intermediate stages.

Thus to me it is theoretically possible that large scale quantum effects could be possible in the brain.

One cool thing is that if this does in fact exist in the brain, there is likely a lot that we could learn from it. It would be stable at room temperature, robust under moderate vibrations, and made from non-exotic materials.

Large scale quantum effects does not make the brain special in a mystical way, I just view them as an meaningful optimization over non-quantum consciousness. Given that we know that the results of quantum effects can be simulated on non-quantum computers, then quantum consciousness isn't unique to quantum capable devices, it is just more efficient on those devices than others.

And given that biology always seems to surprise with its ingenuity, it seems likely that those brains who use more efficient methods of computation would have evolutionary advantages over those that do not. It would then follow that if quantum consciousness (AKA large scale quantum effects in the brain) existed, it would be widespread, and likely not restricted to just humans.

Like you.

Atheist is a belief system. Inflexible and closed-minded.

Is not way around that. You can't take a position and at the same time claim to be open to all positions. Any change of side requiere some extraordinary event.

If God build the brain, part of the "materials" and "formula" are OUTSIDE our reality. How can a Super Mario Bros character build a human-like brain if in his realm not exist biologic material, and their natural laws are a snapshot of the full ones?

A lot of investing involves hedging and capital preservation, making bets and various counterbets (including shorts) to make sure you probably won’t lose st the end of the day. Some of those shorts maybe were not speculative but counter bets, and the shorter didn’t actually lose money overall (though I couldn’t tell you what they were countering).
Ok, but if you keep digging, eventually you are going to stumble into the concept of the dream itself, and then the question then becomes what properties and qualities of the process of dreaming gave birth to a red flower in the mind.

I will concede that how consciousness really arises may look nothing like what we can imagine or picture today, but we have yet to come across something that is both real and escapes scientific observation, and I don't think we should approach consciousness as such.

Yes, most online shops that I have an account with seems to do GDPR compliance correctly by simply adjusting their contract they have with the customer. In order to do the service which I customer has bought and send an item to a location they need the shipping location, so they changed the contract to say "we are storing the location for the purpose of sending you the item you bought". They can't go and sell that information to a third-party, but they can store it for the purpose that I as a customer requested of them.
The problem is that some interconnects between carriers use codecs optimised for voice and voice only, and your modem will most likely not work at all. The days of fully analog landlines are long gone - even if you get a phone jack, nothing guarantees it's not being digitised and then compressed with the aforementioned codecs down the line.
"... I still fail to understand why it is so popular."

It was repurposed.

As you wrote, "I don't think it's very popular in the manufacture of embedded controllers."

A theory:

There is a large population of programmers who want to write bloated programs.

They will use whatever is made available to them to do it. They will prefer whatever makes it easier. This has become a "market" that others want to serve.

The supporting anecdote I always remember is the small scripting language AWK. It was not designed with the intent to write large scripts/"programs". However, if I recall correctly, Kernighan commented that he was surprised to learn that is what users were trying to do with it before Perl existed.
Could you say a little more? I think I understand the "scaler" and it's how I learned the scales and how I practice, but I'm curious what the pentanizer is suggesting to do. Picking a root and an interval and finding it all over the fretboard?

You seem to have dodged the point entirely. You don't get to just arbitrarily claim the good parts of Christianity are the only ones that matter. And Catholicism is certainly not the only sect that has regressive dangerous policies which cause wide spread harm, it's just the simplest example because it's one most people are likely to be familiar with. The top five Christian denominations in the US are: Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Pentacostal, and Lutheran. There are sub-sects of each of those families which allow gay marriage, but the main-line official doctrine is opposition to gay rights for all of them.

So what, the vast majority of Christian sects are giving Christianity a bad name? But you personally somehow know what real Christianity is? I feel like that really stretches credulity at some point.
Many of the buses I've seen in parts of southeast Asia have their side mirrors hanging in the front instead of jutting out the side, probably for a similar reason (and the streets there are much narrower too.)
Given that a brain can be perfectly described by a limited amount of information, you can write an algorithm which perfectly simulates a brain. Consciousness needs to be supernatural to not be present in this simulation.

ETA: Algorithm will require quantum computations to be feasible though.
I don’t disagree, but this is still just speculation (despite the rather misleading/clickbaity headline).
AI Weekly 9 June 2018
Fluid dynamicist here who works on the breakup of larger water jets. How the jet breaks up depends on the design of the system. (I assume you mean break up, not diffuse. Diffusion is a different physical process which occurs independent of breakup.)

A low speeds (laminar flow), Rayleigh's analysis shows that a simple liquid jet breaks up due to surface tension effects.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plateau%E2%80%93Rayleigh_insta...

At higher speeds (e.g., transitional or turbulent flows), the mechanisms change. For your typical spray bottle (without a swirl chamber) I'd say turbulence is the primary cause of breakup. Aerodynamic influence won't factor in at typical air densities and cavitation isn't happening as it probably would break the nozzle.

Here's a conference paper I wrote on turbulent breakup theory, which hopefully is readable for anyone with an understanding of probability theory and basic turbulence theory: https://engrxiv.org/35u7g/

(RMS velocity is just the standard deviation of the velocity. Turbulent kinetic energy is an energy formed from the RMS velocity. Kolmogorov's 5/3 theory is used a bit, but you can just view it as power law distribution. Etc.)

I also have some small spray bottles with swirl chambers, which makes the bulk fluid spin, destabilizing the interface, leading to droplet formation. The spray angle for these is large compared against the simple pressure atomizer described previously.
No other baselines (I'm only going for practical not theoretical or publishing so no need really).

Just market features but I'm sure other features are out there. At the minutes level, predicting crashes doesn't do much good as often crashes have ideal 1 hour buying windows so the macro crash/spikes don't really matter, and if they did, would be caputed by the model still.

I wrote "quality of IDE" not "quality of the toolchain" for a reason. In fact, let's reduce this to "quality of the editor." The text editors are absolutely terrible, but that's why they invented Vim. You're only a "Add File" away to work around that.

Other than that, getting from Verilog to a design mapped to hardware is pretty trivial with both Quartus and Vivado. They both have excellent debugging tools with SignalTap and ChipScope, they have pin planners that works reasonably well. Synthesis and P&R results are decent.

If your design is so generic that it really doesn't matter which FPGA you're using, then, sure, make your decision based on this kind of detail. But I find that to be almost never the case. Price, number of DSPs and their precision, amount of block RAM, performance of the SERDES units. Those are real decision makers.
What would be interesting to me is whether someone working from the faith presumption might yield useful ideas for what we're concluding from a material view. Ethically in particular.

It's not so much discussing whether (a given) religion is true, but what the consequences of a religious premise may be, and whether they provide useful tools. We've been studying it for millennia, surely there is something helpful in there. If we necessarily exclude it, asking what the consequences of that negative definition are is also worth considering.

There are things we believe today that mean persons have political rights, but personhood itself is a pretty rough consensus with some big ethical arguments around the edges (animals, cells, chimeras, corporations, lab specimens, bladerunners, etc.) Does it suffer, should it, and how might that change us if it does, or doesn't?

Of course we can sound these things out for ourselves, but the silliness around consciousness studies seemed rooted in that very effort, and to me its worth asking if it's an artifact of the constraints we've imposed.

Right. People are pig-headed about gender, but people generally don't deny that women deserve respect as women. And they generally don't argue that diversity of gender is worth celebrating.

The top comment in this thread is basically celebrating Fred Rogers as a Christian and there are many threads and responses arguing that the Christian part is irrelevant or even despicable. I would expect analogous comments about women to be moderated out of the picture here. And I have seen that happen.

I can't say why Christian members of the HN community aren't more outspoken about this shortcoming in tech diversity culture. I suspect the answer to that question is fairly personal and complex.

As to "wearing on their sleeves", I don't see that happening much at all. On the contrary, I see people behaving much more in a closeted manner if anything. I don't think that's healthy for anyone.
