I find doubling your delta-v requirements to be far simpler then increasing them a hundred-fold. If we could get something to 1% of c, we could, with a bit more work, slow it down the same way.

We can't, though.
Ask HN: What do you think the world will look like in 20-30 years?
The question is pretty straight forward and something I’ve been giving a lot of thought lately. My answers mainly have to do with technology and how it will help or hurt us in the coming years, but I’m interested to hear what you all think. Here are some questions to get your mind going:

1. What will the Earth look like?
2. How will people be interacting with each other?
3. What will be the overall attitude of the human race?
4. Where scares you about the future? What excites you?
5. How does technology play a part in our future?

Your answers don’t have to be related to these questions. Any future-related comment is welcome.

Except that in-state businesses use services of the state they exist in. Out of state businesses do not, yet they will be required to perform an additional service of collecting taxes for other states because those states have deemed it "too difficult" to do themselves by enforcing a use tax.

So if I got this right SD says the task of collecting taxes from those who reside in their state is not possible for them to do, and unless they honestly think it would cost the vendor $0 to perform this task, they are imposing additional cost of doing business when they provide no services to the out-of-state vendor.
In fact, if you compile with -fomit-frame-pointer (the default for optimized code), $rbp can be repurposed by the compiler (for holding the value of local variables for instance).

No. 7-X hasn't performed any fusion at all and while they later want to use plasmas that are closer in composition to what you'd find in a fusion reactor, very little fusion will take place — intentionally, to avoid generating significant amounts of neutron radiation.

It's perhaps important to point out that fusion is not difficult; it's very easy in fact. The hard part for power generation is plasma physics, i.e. being able to contain and control a plasma effectively. That's what 7-X is designed to research. If you can control a sustained plasma, fusion power is relatively easy.

The 'Cyclone' arcade machine is a game with a ring of lights, one lit at a time. You have to push a button when the lit light is right in front of you. It looks like a game of skill, but actually it's a game of chance: the machine is programmed to give payouts with a certain probability, regardless of whether the button is actually hit at the right time. This is verified both using a cool Arduino gadget to repeatedly play the machine, and also via the machine's manual.

I don't think so. In the western world I wouldn't be shocked if the numbers have crept up in the past few decades and will continue to do so -- but there are billions of people in the non western world and others who just prefer meat. Meat is obviously a huge part of food culture and I don't see that changing drastically soon.

It's a rough geographic label not intended to correspond to a state, nor to whatever you decide constitutes a "commonly defined metro area or region," nor is it supposed to correspond to the local nickname for a metro area ("DMV").

It's intended to give the viewer a rough idea of where in the US that particular point is located without having to type out "District of Columbia" which is too long. A million maps on the Internet are more deserving of cartographic pedantry.

If you're only worried about calorie counting (the method discussed in the article) most restaurants are going to have dishes for which you can fairly accurately estimate the calories (with some experience). Tricks like ordering dressing/sauce on the side can make it easier.

Fat has the highest calorie density of any ingredient with 9 calories per gram (sugar has 4). If you're really unsure, you can use that as an upper limit.

May I ask to which Poincaré article you are referring?
Absolutely. I actually feel like pointing out the minor mistake distracted from my actual point. As others have pointed out in the past few hours, this article seems to do little more than point out where the NSA is fiber tapping on AT&T's network. This hardly seems like breaking news to me. The exposure of PRISM many years ago put the activity in the public eye.

To me, it seems like this article is sensationalizing a practice most were aware of already. I suppose it is mildly interesting to highlight a bunch of locations where it may be happening, but certainly not breaking news.

One can nit pick some of his points, but the general essay is right on point. Developers need to understand what they are building on top of to be able to navigate non-trivial problems.

I found this article from Saturday worth the read, as it explains what Docker actually is, and why no one needs it: http://catern.com/posts/docker.html.

The same goes for everyone working in the cloud; I've build my own clusters to compare the effort and expense (rather than just accept the marketing line) and running one's own servers, from one to hundreds, is exponentially more cost effective than any cloud service.

People are not doing their homework, and the herd mentality owns the entire tech industry.
If I had asked her (this was last year), she would've chosen Princess dance. But I didn't (because she's five and what does she know) and signed her up for Little Engineers (and Little Chemist and the math classes, etc.) and she loved it. This year, I signed her up for Princess Dance the first week, then Little Engineers one of the other weeks. She enjoyed Princess dance, but asked if I had signed her up for Little Engineers because she was looking forward to that.

> Since you are going to spend a huge amount of time writing js code for the front-end anyways...

My general goal in using an SSG is to have a static site. HTML and CSS. Maybe some images, of course. But I typically don’t reach for an SSG if I’m building something that requires a huge amount of time writing JS code. The goal is to have zero JS and zero backend. I know others may not care to create the smallest, fastest pages they can, but if I need a bunch of JS, that strikes me as the opposite of a static site.

Yes. That's the point. The volumes I was referring to were the volumes of the appliances' tubs, not the volume of the load. The assumption is that the load is constant since it needs to go from washer to dryer.
This article (like pretty much all from OpenAI) is really well done. I love the format and supporting material - makes it waay more digestible and fun to read in comparison to something from arxiv. The video breakdowns really drive the results home.
Probably the best reasons to spread out are:
a) As insurance against Earth 0 getting blown up by a passing asteroid, and/or
b) You found someplace better.

Possibility (b) seems at least somewhat unlikely, given that we (at least) evolved over millions of years to the very particular conditions of Earth 0. So finding somewhere 'better' would likely involve some gene-gineering to adapt, and maybe involve a shallower gravity well than we currently inhabit.

Possibility (a) is a really good reason to spread out a bit, but you likely don't need more than a few insurance policies... Certainly there's no need to aggressively conquer the entire galaxy: Given difficulties of communication and transport over long distances, there's likely some real question of what 'conquer' would even mean...

It occurs to me that it would be interesting to look into how much stars drift apart from one another over the course of time involved in getting from one to another. Consider that the launch window for mars comes up once every two years; what are the launch windows like for stars, where travel might take hundreds or thousands of years? Maybe it takes a thousand years to get a scouting run done, and then it's infeasible to follow up with an actual colony ship...

Likewise, the quality of the produce varies quite a lot. It wasn't until I started growing my own cucumbers and I noticed that they stayed fresh a lot longer than the store bought variety that I realized that a cucumber I bought in the store was probably already at least a month old.

There's not much that costs less than potatoes, though. They are so cheap, it amazes me that farmers can make money on them.
They do discuss some current differences in playstyle toward the bottom, like faster openings and more use of support heroes, which the self-play has invented (along with rediscovering standard tactics). So it's at least a little different.

Whether these are better is hard to say. It's not superhuman, after all, unlike AlphaGo, so it's not presumptively right, and you can't doublecheck by doing a very deep tree evaluation (because DoTA doesn't lend itself to tree exploration - far too many actions and long-range).
OP here, apologies for the lack of clarity.

I mean to say that a lot of people will go to the gym to do "weight training" but will only use dumbells or machines, etc, at such low weights that the effort is mostly futile in terms of developing your muscles.

A good rule of thumb to go by is to use the maximum weight which you can successfully complete 8 - 12 repetitions of the motion without sacrificing good form (bad form will lead to injuries).

edit:

in response to a query of yours below, don't worry about accidently gaining strength if it is not your goal, it takes focused training to go up in strength. If you just want to maintain current muscle you just need to keep doing lifts with the weight you can manage 12 reps with. if you don't push to increase the weight from that point you will plateau at that point
This also happened this year - guy drive past a checkpoint, the NSA didn't put up with it.
They're only cheap and low-waste if you don't have to worry about storage, and that needs to be solved well before the 80% point. Battery manufacture is pretty dirty, and even if the environmental issues were not a concern, it's not clear that enough raw materials (rare earths, etc.) exist in the world to move the entire power grid to intermittent sources plus battery storage. And so far, no alternative storage sources have proven themselves broadly viable (pumped hydro is probably closest but requires fairly specific climate and geography).

Personally I'm with Bill Gates on this one: we basically need an innovation miracle to solve our energy and climate problems, but probably just one, and it can be in any of four or five different fields (renewables + storage, fission, fusion, biofuels, carbon capture, etc.). Success in any one of those spaces is far from guaranteed, so we shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket, and should be aggressively pursuing all of them in the hopes that at least one will pan out.
If by looking hard you mean that I had type into a Google search box then yes it was very hard.

I'd argue that metadata is more important than content. It enables suspicion-by-association lines of inquiry.

I would say the 'market rate' for the big tech cos cannot be applied to the financial analysis of hiring in startups because most startups have cash burn, and big tech is profitable. If you somehow negotiate a startup to pay you a google like salary you probably won't have much fun because you will be viewed as an even riskier hire than you were to begin with. There will be even more pressure to perform than there already was.
Aren't most things "simple" by that definition though? It's all about specificity, right? Quitting smoking is simple, if you don't talk about ways to overcome addiction. Becoming rich is simple, just get lots of money - simple if you ignore all the complexities of the underlying problem.

That's why I felt my situation and my wife's differed. Mine was simple because there wasn't an underlying pile of complexity. Her underlying "addiction" and etc are noteworthy items in her list of things she needs to do. It's simple if you ignore the problems, but if she wants to actually implement that simple instruction she needs to figure out the little details that affect her.

So yes, it is simple if we're not talking about her situation with context and reality. Mine is simple in all contexts, in my opinion.

Smoking is a good example imo on where our opinions differ. Smoking is super far simple in my mind, because many people can't just stop smoking (or rather, lack the willpower). So they need additional data, the simple instruction was.. imo, not so simple.
How You Can Tackle Almost Any Project
This seems to me to be the most likely scenario given what we see here on earth. Our civilization figured out how to remove limits on its growth a lot faster than it is figuring out that we need to self-impose limits on our growth in order to avoid a catastrophic failure of our ecosystem. I see no reason to expect anything different. Evolution does not plan ahead.
It's almost always smarter to have a geographically diverse portfolio, and to invest for the long term.

I use a low-fee robo-investor, WealthSimple[0], that has me invested in a variety of ETFs (Canadian, American, international) and bonds, and will rebalance my portfolio when any specific market falls or grows more than the others.

I prefer this kind of investing because it's stupid, cheap, and works.

In same boat. I've just been splitting my new investments between stock and cash and treat my cash as part of my diversification strategy (or a hedge against possible market peak). If a recession occurs, I'll hope it drops a lot, put my cash back in, and hope it comes back up. All those things have always happened (recession, recovery - not necessarily me timing a market bottom) so I feel ok about my cash. Whatever it loses in value to inflation should come back if I buy cheaper stocks during a market lull. Or so I tell myself.
That's the real kicker - be aware of what you're eatings calories. A Big Mac from McDonald's can be less calories than a 6" from Subway, depending on the choices you make as far as toppings. Just because it looks healthy doesn't mean it's a better choice for weight loss.

People often note, like another comment here notes:

> since 1960 there has been a US economic recession once every 5 to 10 years. The last one ended in 2009, 9 years ago

This is an interesting line of thinking, but I think it's a mistake. We can use this fact itself and circumscribe some meta-thinking around it. Put the same fact another way, this is arguing that the 1960's started a brand new paradigm that was materially different from the 1950's-before.

For all we know, the 2020's+ will repeat the past (in a way) and usher in a paradigm different from the 1960's! No more recessions every 5-10 years.

So:

* Maybe from now on there will be a recession every 20 years

* Or Fed manipulation will get "so good" that we won't have large recessions

* Or capital's other options for returns (real estate, emerging markets, etc) will look bad-ish for the next 10 years and continue to prop up the stock market because its the only good outlet for extra cash for a decade or three

I could see any of these being plausible. I think leaning on the past is a bit of a mistake. Personally, I think the third one is quite possibly the case. Other non-stock-market options simply do not look as attractive as they used to, relatively.

The future will look very different from the past, as Thiel says.
This is the problem. You assume the situation is justified and try to find an explanation for it. Would you submit this kind of theories if the article is talking about any other groups?
