It also assumes that all bodies in the galaxy are equally amenable to colonization and conversion into the necessary resources, and that for machines as complex as Von Neumann probes would need to be, there would be no such thing as mutation or evolution over innumerable generations which might halt the process of expansion.

And that most if not all probes in every generation will even find something other than empty space because the universe is very very very big and the likelihood of traveling in any direction and ever hitting anything is very very very small.

Although if you assume the universe is simple enough to describe on the back of a napkin then it probably is straightforward.
Repaid over twenty years, as I understand it: "A 20-year debt structure would require annual payments of $1.1 million from the city, according to staff estimates. That could be supplemented with money from the city's general fund and, perhaps, revenue generated by early customers of the fiber network." Though there is some math discrepancy since that would not cover the $140 million. Nonetheless, as a Boulderite, I am happy to finally see this happening.

Don't worry, blue line people are used to it.
> I guess a more accurate text for the link would be "view code" or "more info" instead of "get model"

It's not about accurate link caption. It's that you make a site with it's whole purpose being getting models, you call it "model zoo", and then you don't link to models and don't check whether models exist in all your links! A site for aggregating models (for the ones that provide it) and code already exists: it's github.

Your site simply does not work.
This is precisely the kind of long term investment that cities should make.
Don't bother, it's the narcissist KingJoffrey who got no traction in the forum with his complaint of private access at module level. He shows all the symptoms of narcissism like "exaggerated feelings of self-importance, excessive need for admiration, and lack of empathy". They also are feel entitled and vindictive so they don't hesitate to use unethical behavior for vengeance, like using fake accounts to post garbage (he had even posted under your name).
So be careful, I don't know what we can do against that but awareness is imho at least a start.

Here the list of traits that could be observed in the private complain thread:

- Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment from other people
- Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.
- Self-perception of being unique, superior, and associated with high-status people and institutions
- Needing continual admiration from others
- Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others
- Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain
- Unwilling to empathize with the feelings, wishes, and needs of other people
- Intensely envious of others, and the belief that others are equally envious of them
- Pompous and arrogant demeanor

I tried to rewrite my node backend in C++ but I got stuck at the package management part. When I learned Node I was able to install NPM and run “npm i -P uws” and was up and running quickly. Reading through about 5 WebSocket C++ lib installation instructions and still not making any progress was enough to make me wonder if my time would be better spent paying for a faster and/or bigger server cluster and just keeping node.
not if you use GraalVM :D
And it would require huge investment from the city, which this project doesn't require. That said, there are already projects to increase capacity (new cars, more power on the Blue Line), southern expansion of the Red Line and the Belmont Flyover.
That's ironic because I find Julia's documentation to be the second most clear documentation I've seen (after elixir). Notation wise, Julia is the most comfortably close to mathematics (APL is closer, but it's a write only language). I'm not a working mathematician, though i did graduate with a rather theory based math degree.
Thanks for the math :) I know many people putting an entire paycheck towards housing alone, not including car, food, different types of insurance, internet devices etc

And this is just for rent! You don't even get to keep the asset after you've paid for it. And forget about buying a place-- supply is deliberately constricted so that we just pay someone else's mortgage instead :|

Depends how you define failure. The statistics I've seen suggest that around half are still in business 5 years after formation.
I wonder if it’s really the other way around — people who tend to get infections often have this surgery because, well, they often get infections?
Repaid with 20 year dept. See the article and my other comment.
For all but the smallest apartment buildings, this is not a good idea. Ethernet has a 100m limit. By the time you go up a wall, back down it, zig and zag around things in the ceiling, etc, you can quickly hit that limit. Then you can start getting errors such as packet loss, crosstalk, etc.

Yes, it depends on the size and layout of your building (maybe your building has a comms cabinet on each floor, or wing, etc) but its better to have one set of training for all your installers, rather than have every one be different.
I've always seen the mention of Go as shorthand that the software in question will be relatively easy to install, being a self-contained binary and all.
I used to be an Elon Musk fan until I realized I fell for the advertisement.

After reading the 48 laws of power, Elon became crystal clear.

SpaceX was his PR scheme to gain fame, he promised the moon, he shows off his toys. He was a cult leader.

Since his reddit topic(with fake upvotes) saying "Tesla quietly delivers solar panels to PR", I woke up. It was fake and it was advertising.

Since I've actually looked into Tesla quality(not good) and got increasingly skeptical of his businesses(not good).

Makes me sick to know I fall for advertisement like anyone else, but it was a good wakeup call. Wonder what else I believe in...
Yep. Having worked in Boulder for 4 years, my observation is that the number of people who actually live in town are the minority. In-college interns or new college grads tend to live in town. There is a smattering of more senior engineers in Boulder as well. But it seems most people commute in from Longmont, Erie, Louisville, Superior, Lafayette, Broomfield, Denver, or Ft. Collins. I worked with a guy who commuted from Colorado Springs (!) daily. I have no idea how he stayed sane.
Yikes! How on earth does this even happen?

I'd at least expect some Cherry Garcia or Chunky Monkey after a quagmire of this magnitude.
That, or maybe $140M is a gross over estimate, or is referring to more than what’s discussed in the article? I’m tending toward that; it can’t possibly cost anywhere near $10k per subscriber to build out fiber normally, even in small cities, can it? Seems like if it was normally that expensive, there wouldn’t be fiber anywhere. What’s so different in Boulder? I’d speculate that CenturyLink paid less than $1k to run fiber to my house, even if I include my share of their neighborhood & citywide costs.
too unreliable for the purposes of economic growth, tbh.

based on my time in the industry, the typical biotech company lives with one foot in the grave -- and we're talking about the ones which have a product on the market.
This is pure FUD. If you don't patch your Cisco machine running iOS, your Juniper machine running JunOS, your Netgate machine running pfSense, your Deciso machine running OPNSense, your PC running OpenBSD or Windows or Linux or FreeBSD or NetBSD or whatever software you may be vulnerable and someone might write malware for that vulnerability.

It's a cycle. We're on the tail end of it now for Go; there's been a couple of occasions where someone posts their project on HN and I'm surprised to notice it's Go without having been advertised as such. Rust is a bit behind Go, but I expect that to happen to me soon now. (ripgrep was close, but IIRC I was introduced via a blog post about how it works full of Rust source. Getting there, though.) Crystal, Nim, and a few others seem to be trying to initiate that cycle now.
Good to know. I literally do everything from HW comms to web UI to push all that data to the cloud. HW comms and protocols are where I'm best. Happy where I'm at but always looking just in case.

Been to Colorado Springs. It is a nice area.

Elon taking advantage of the government?

Say it aint so!

I dont think he can stay around without exploiting crony capitalism, his businesses have failed.

You two are describing solutions for "feeling depressed". Clinical depression is very different.

You could bathe in diamonds every day, have the best lover, the most supporting circle of friends, be at the peak of your health and still be depressed. Depression is out of your control.

You can reduce triggers by living better but that's it. Even while living the happiest moments of your life you can still have depression lurk in the back of your head, probing you with negative thoughts.
This is really bad advice to give someone with diagnosed depression. Do take medication if it is recommended, and be less hard on yourself - not more.
> My point was more that, in this case, she is “just a librarian”, because this type of thing is what being a librarian is supposed to mean—it’s just that most people suck at being librarians,

In my experience (working in an academic library and interacting a lot with employees of other academic libraries), most actual present-day academic librarians do not suck at being a librarian. They're not as high-profile as Jessamyn West, but neither are they "computer literate old ladies" -- they use computers constantly in their daily work and are at least aware of issues with digital privacy, copyright law overreaches, etc. I suspect anyone who thinks "computer literate old lady" is still the normative example of a librarian, hasn't interacted with many librarians lately (or perhaps has limited experience e.g. in a small town library).
Good work sir, I can see you have had a lot of practice being a bully. You're the kind who, when interrupted, plays sweetness and light: "What, me? I'm just helping my nerd friend clean his locker!"

Fortunately, there's a special place in hell for human feces like you.
>> If you don't mind being relatively unheard of and only want to make enough money to be independent, then it actually isn't very hard to bootstrap a business.

100% agree agree agree.

TechCrunch, tech conferences and forums (including HN) fuel the startup porn aspect of fame. And the spotlighting of a handful of companies make people think that billions of dollars are out there for the taking. You aren't going to be famous and you don't need a billion dollars. Once you accept that your lens on the world comes into a lot more focus.

The last time I was in a position to raise money one of my friends said, "you're growing and there is a lot of profit...and you get to decide what to do with all the profit, include putting it in your own pocket? Raising money means you are now on a salary and have a boss. Why would you do that?" He was right and I've never thought about raising money for that project or any other ever again.

Most VC founders wait 7+ years for their cash-out moment, if it ever comes at all. Build a profitable business and stop worrying about the adoration of people you don't know. Make the money, keep the money.
Considering all the mergers that are going down I hope that eventually more cities follow this model.
Which is caused by the western notion that it makes sense for a helpless infant to sleep away from its mother. We got rid of our bed frame (to prevent falling accidents) and cosleep. We all (including our daughter, who is now three with another on the way) sleep happily through the night.
Or, for 10% more cost, you could build a regular subway and move the same amount of people in much less space. You even reduce the truly expensive part of subways (i.e., stations), since you only have to have a mezzanine that covers two tracks rather than 20 tracks.
Was Heroquest any good? I did tunnels and trolls as a teenager but 7-8 sounds a bit young. At that age I was interested in solo roleplaying e.g. Fighting Fantasy, Choose Your Own Adventure, Lone Wolf etc which were in the local library.

We would see it? Do you have any idea how big the universe is, and how little we see? If there were astronauts on pluto right now, we could not detect them, I suppose -- I might be wrong, but the statement is bound to be true at some order of magnitude that's certainly smaller than the theoretically visible universe.
The blue line is slow, crowded, loud, frequently requires delay-inducing maintenance, and is often very dirty and smelly. The article says “40 minutes,” but that’s the absolute best you could hope for. You have to plan at least 1:15 minutes for the blue line from the loop if you want to be confident you won’t be late.

A 20 minute direct trip on a modern train would radically improve every aspect of getting between the airport and the city, and would be a welcome support as the city’s ancient trains continue to deteriorate.
The El's "express" trains aren't really express. It's just a way to get a train back on schedule if it's been severely delayed for some reason. The system isn't set up for one train to be able to pass another, so it has to go back to regular service once it's back on schedule.
Actually, the current version is v3, found on 2017 MBPs. v2 appeared on 2016 MBPs, and v1 on the first 12" MacBook.

I have the v2 version, and this is my third top case, if it were not for consumer laws here, I would have moved to another laptop.

As far as I'm aware there are no plans to address them, we have to wait until the next Apple event to hear more, hopefully.
You want to look for psychotherapist (talk therapy) and a psychatrist (medication therapy). If and how you can afford that depends on your country. For me, I haven't paid a single cent for the last two years seeing both and getting medication. I feel way way better and probably wouldn't do so good without both of them.
> A much simpler (and more plausible) solution to chapium's problem is simply getting rid of the electoral college.

Which would then require that a candidate only pander to an even smaller number of densely populated cities.

It would be far better to revoke much of the power of the central government rather than to try and debug our way through to a mythical process by which all individual interests are considered. Because, in the end, minority interests will always be cast aside once the election is over anyway.
Kyso is kind of like nbviewer + binder.

With nbviewer you need to self host the notebook somewhere, and there are no profiles - so you can't keep all your work together.

With Kyso you can upload a notebook, import from github, or open Jupyter in the cloud and then publish your work, its all integrated.
I'm not a shell pro; what is happening on the sleep line?
I don't think they meant that the TPM itself runs a webserver. I believe what they mean was that the emulated version runs on the cpu itself, which means that if the system is also running a webserver then any cpu vulnerabilities would compromise the security of the emulated TMP.
I like how your write this as if I'm not still running into these index column size issues today ;)
"How about letting the productive capacity of the economy work for consumers rather than for politicians?"

Seriously, what are you talking about? If the government gives a large tax cut to every citizen, that citizen is also a consumer. When they take that tax cut money and they go spend it, then the large deficit is being put to work for consumers rather than for politicians.

Last time I checked, the Federal government was the consumer of about 1/3rd of the Federal budget. The rest of the budget is income transfers that are spent by someone else (for instance, Social Security, and also the money transfers to state and local governments, who then become the final consumers).

There are situations where it makes sense for the government to be the consumer of goods and services -- building bridges and ports and airports and such. Also, running the military. One can make the case that the USA would benefit from infrastructure spending right now. However, my original comment was completely neutral on the subject of who should spend the deficit. I only made the point that when productive capacity is going to waste due to lack of demand (in the context of this article, following a catastrophic shock to the financial system) then Congress should ensure a deficit sufficient to ensure the use of that productive capacity.
> I'm a bit confused with this. Are you talking about deprecating CORS? How would putting information in a URL mean that you didn't need a third party request anymore?

I'm saying there is no real need, technically, to have third party at _all_. If you want an image you can host an image or you can link to it. Same with fonts. I have yet to see a CORS request that couldn't have been done with a user clicking on a link and having a page load. All of this stuff is bleeding data to third parties. And again, I'm not blaming third parties making money within the system we have. If it's legal it's fine with me, but when we have governments around the world starting to figure out how bad it is they're going to try to legislate this problem away and it both wont work and it will also quadruple the costs of doing anything.

> This just screams vendor lock-in to me.

Don't worry, I'm designing it with this risk in mind.

> Baking trust models into firmware

As long as the firmware is capable of software update, it should be fine. ASIC-y type of gear may need to push the trust check to other sides of the pipe.

> I understand that there's a sizable population on HN that would prefer if the web be a static document service and not an app platform, but even if they're right they have almost zero chance of getting anyone else to agree with them.

I think it's tricky. We obviously need client side code in some contexts, but I think something could be designed such that things like Reddit wouldn't require arbitrary code execution. As for JS specifically, I don't love the syntax, but it isn't the worst in the world. But there is a long, long, long list of things that need to be removed from it to make it more secure.

I think web assembly is a mistake. If we turn our browsers into operating systems we're going to get all the problems OSes have. Side channel attacks are easier, protected data in JS enclosures is harder, etc.

That's all I'm going to say for now, I try not to talk about my projects before they're kinda functional because before you figure out all the finicky details you can come off sounding like an idiot to someone else that has a more closeup view to one part of it. Take WebAssembly, for example, I haven't closely poured over it and here I am saying that its a mistake. But everything is getting so complicated so quickly its impossible to keep up, so I have to cut things somewhere. This is another problem I have with the modern stack. We keep piling things onto it to support all these crazy use cases, but then we can't stay ahead of all the potential ways people can abuse it.
Costs in Boulder are quite a bit higher than other cities because we have very little to no topsoil in areas, you hit bedrock (which is often granite) immediately, and you need to drill or blast that out for most underground construction.

At least that was the line Google fed us when we got rejected for their fiber, who knows.
What works for me:

- Getting lost in games/books with imaginative worlds.

- Traveling.

- Hooking up with random people without any strings/hopes/expectations.

- Making stuff.

- Helping someone feel better without it being at your expense.

- and of course, music.
As Rayiner commented elsewhere in the thread [1] Boulder has a population of 40,000 households, which is the appropriate metric to use when people within a household regularly share a connection. It gets more expensive when you consider non-subscribing households, subsidized households, and operating costs. Payback periods quickly climb to 10-20 years or more, depending on how you do your math.

However, I think it should also be considered that a municipal broadband network adds value to a city in much the same way that a road network, electric grid, natural gas, or water/sewer network adds value. For a point of contrast, the city contains ~300 miles of roads at ~$5 million per mile, or a road network value of $1.5 billion dollars. That's about $40,000 per household! Other utilities have huge costs as well.

I believe that Internet access is becoming as important as transportation, water, and electric service for the economic health of a city.

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

Document all the facts with no emotion whatsoever, along with time stamps of when each fact occurred.

If there are others that you know for a fact are not two-faced that will also provide statements, then get quotes from them. There are power in numbers, assuming those numbers are not snitches trying to earn points with the bad bosses.

Do everything in email, ticketing systems and other things that leave trails that may be backed up.

Form a rough draft of a document on your own system that pulls together all the facts, time stamps, etc, then have a section below that goes into detail for each item. Remember to update your document as things unfold.

If the document is on your work computer, they may be able to see it and they can take it away from you.

Be ready to provide this document to HR, Legal and potentially your own legal counsel if you believe the company has malicious intent. They have to know that you have all your ducks in a row and that you are ready to contact outside counsel and your state.

Or, just move on to a better company and make sure people know that company is toxic, again, stating only the facts that can be validated.

Glassdoor is such a place. Perhaps you can save others from the toxicity.

How It Started: Lesbian Adult Industry
Lesbian porn is widely known as one of the top categories when we talk about the adult industry. There are the best lesbian porn sites <href="https://bit.ly/2xNvtjh">https://bit.ly/2xNvtjh</a> out there. But do you know how it started? Well, let's get into it!

Lesbian erotica dates all the way back to the Classical World – from the depiction of a woman manually stimulating another woman on a sixth-century BC vase from Ancient Greece to the erotic frescoes of Pompeii – but this work was largely produced by male artists.

In the 80s, lesbian porn production companies soon formed, like SIR (Sex, Indulgence and Rock N’ Roll) Productions, which was described as “100 percent dyke produced” and created by butch-femme couple Shar Rednour and Jackie Strano in the 1990s.

Performers regularly used sex toys like dildos, too.

As Ziv notes, this pornography had an educational purpose, both in showing how women could actually enjoy sex – rather than being submissive and passive objects of male desire – and in promoting safe sex.

Since the start of the millennium, lesbian porn has grown in popularity.
