I am not sure that applies in all countries, but having a degree (or some Tertiary qualification) is certainly good to be able to fill out sections in linkedin / job applications.
1) If someone is helping, I don't give a ---- what they say about it. Actions speak louder than words. People criticizing Musk probably haven't lifted a finger themselves to help the kids.

I'm honestly amazed anyone can keep focus on menial questions past the third one. Is this really a normal practice? None of the hiring interviews I've taken part in had these. They had maybe one practical problem (that was abstract but not especially difficult) that you could solve in ten minutes of back and forth.
I'm pretty serious. You asked a question, I answered it. I'm sorry if you don't like the answer. I don't personally know the full set of people who have asked him for help, but the conversation following the tweet I linked is more than sufficient to prove to you that it was others asking him for help rather than Elon's hubris prompting him to dive into a situation he wasn't welcome at.
Where did you get the idea they were short on money or rescue equipment and/or Elon Musk hasn't rented or bought them rescue gear?

If all the journals wouldn't use their monopolies to extract money out of the system, there would be more money left in research. Academics are so dependent on publications it's ridiculous.

Aircraft engines had an "simpler solution" to this problem, they geared the output of the turbo charger down to the crankshaft speed and directly recovered the power into mechanical energy.

This was known as a turbo compound engine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo-compound_engine

These improved fuel efficiency by 15-35%. It's actually the reason my mind jumped to recovering energy from exhaust gasses. Doing this directly from heat would be elegant if it could ever be made cost effective.
Nature (and Science) are already constantly publishing pieces whining about government funding levels. I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Honestly, I'd rather see most of the front matter of both journals disappear in favor of more room for scientific articles.
They already have that stuff (drysuits). Thailand is not a poor country and they do a lot of diving. You are talking about a situation you don't understand while accusing musk (who actually talked to people on the ground) of not understanding. Musk builds things, that's why he was asked to help and that's why he built a thing.
At least in the Netherlands, I'm not aware of any requirements for 'commercial' web sites. If they exist, they are not enforced.

My least favourite approach to the "long form" article is where the journalist is intent on launching into a narrative without making clear in the leading paragraphs what the real subject is.

I'm not a great author by any means but it just seems so self indulgent when journalists do that.
It's not legal in a lot of countries, and I also doubt it is the case. It's much more likely they are just positioned better all around the globe (with better peering, etc).

Do you see that diagram says "gap approx 40 cm"? Do you see that I already told you they deliberately designed their submarine to be 31 cm in diameter? Do you see that there's a chance that the oxygen tanks and their human chest combined are indeed more than 31 cm, and hence having to take them off might not say anything about whether a 31 cm tube will fit?
What procedure do they actually use? I'd guess SEALs allready have standard procedures for transpoting persons under water in difficult circumstances. Secret procedures probably, so we might never know exactly how they do it.
The problem with that is, its an unknown, the effects could be far more devastating than previous mass extinctions, even the worst one about 252 million years ago.

If you extrapolate the speed of current devastation, extinction and let it play out over the time-span of the last mass-extinction, there really wont be anything living on earth besides micro-organisms.

My thoughts as well. Celebrity businessmen like Musk can't really win because no matter what they do there are people who dislike them, rightly or wrongly, because of other things they have done.

Personally I don't think Elon was doing this as a PR stunt. I believe he saw it was a very difficult problem with life and death time constraints and he has a bunch of the world's best engineers that build things for extreme environments.

As it is with every politically charged event.

The truth in this case, and most similar cases, is "it's probabaly a little bit of both".

The one that springs to mind for me is https://chain.com/

They manage balances. Sounds easy, just a database column?

The problem with storing balances is securing it against unauthorised users. i.e. Hacker, DB admin.

A blockchain can be used for this, as the requests to change a balance all have to be signed. And it's very hard to re-write the blockchain history.

It's actually a bit saddening that you are serious. But on the other hand there are people who are doing global politics on Twitter. Usually when you are using the phrase "he has been asked for help" I would imply that he was asked by someone officially responsible for the rescue and not by random people on Twitter. Obviously that hasn't been the case.
For sure, I totally agree with this. The fact is I don't even use Browsh that much as I have the luxury of fast and cheap Internet.

But I have certainly experienced bad internet and felt that craving to be connected to the modern web, which is so hard when all you have is a 3kb/s connection.

So that is what Browsh is for, those people of the world, and there millions, who have slow and/or expensive internet.

This is the best outcome for Musk, as he gets the positive PR (and bolsters his supposed "Iron Man" image), but bears none of the risk of his half-baked idea failing and killing someone.

It's useful for cross-country transfers of money, and in-country if the alternative would be very annoying (or you just happen to have some cryptocurrency around and not regular money). I do use it for that and I've found it useful. The biggest downside in my experience has not been all the abstract figures and numbers and stories floating around, but the exchanges. Turning cryptocurrencies back into regular money is very annoying and the US ones are even very shady (locking your money in, etc). It's what's keeping it inside of the fringes for me.
I completely agree. For some reason they're not 100% ssd and that changes everything. That is the main reason I avoid Azure. Last time I tested (about 8 months ago) I got a new windows server instance with 4gb ram and do a windows update. In my laptop takes 20 minutes, aws takes 40 minutes or so, azure takes almost an entire day! Partly this is because MS doesnt keep their images as updated as AWS, but mostly is because HDD instead of SDD as default. Not advocating anything, just my experience.

That's technically correct, a random stranger on the Internet asked for help.

Has anyone actually involved in the rescue effort asked for help in that effort, though.
Most startups are vision driven. The more impact you make the faster the more successful the company is. In most cases, impact is catalyzed by big VC funding or getting a lot of employees.
There’s no evidence for anything other than the submarine, and he really isn’t shy about announcing these things.
I think we just need to accept that a portion of the population will not follow these rules, and that this portion alone is enough not to reach the critical mass required to reach that solution "inflexion point".

Even if I'm wrong saying that... how long will it take to reach critical mass? How much destruction will be caused attempting to reach it?

Individual-centered solutions can't work efficiently enough for these things to change without personal incentives. We need incentives, replacements, regulations.

Look at the difference between those two worlds:

World 1: "Don't use those free plastic bags! Buy a reusable bag instead for more money! It's the responsible thing to do!"

World 2: "Plastic bags cost $0.06 each."

Which one has less plastic floating in the sea?

I can see that but I can also see that there's an air tank mounted on the outside of the submarine. This could probably be taken off while passing the narrow passage.

On the other hand you would need to squeeze a person in that submarine over the whole diving range. That would probably not help feeling them more comfortable.

Last not least in article you will find the quote "'The equipment he gave us is not practical for our mission,' Narongsak said Tuesday morning", that might prove my point.

Finally I don't get why you are arguing that the submarine is such a great idea when it's clearly not.
Tbh I think it's more like a displacement activity, albeit a worthy one. I am surprised that he visited in person.
Some comments I have read throughout the internet, tweets, etc, suggest that he was too slow to react and that they had over half the kids out already etc.

Reminder that he started this when they were expecting them to be stuck there possibly MONTHS. The rescue in action now was executed quite quickly and surprisingly (to me), as they had said it could be a long term ordeal. The sub too, was designed it to fit in the narrowest parts of the tunnel as well.

I think it's admirable he quickly got this put together and tested, and flew it over to them as fast as he could.

Likewise, he was respectful and didn't take too much of their time or resources when visiting.

I think he tried to do the right thing. He gave them an option that they didn't have previously. If it's not used, so be it. If they had no other options, then they would have another.
amazing, great job!!!
It's a hugely worrying trend. If it continues, a potential outcome is no other species exist.

There are medicinal and practical uses for plants, and some are have only recently been discovered. Losing them is losing this these potential discoveries and uses.

1 can pronounce as 一(yi1), but sometimes can be also pronounce as 幺(yao1). The latter sounds similar to another character 要(yao4, meaning command to do something), and together represents as 要去死(something like you are going to die).

As to 54, maybe you are referring to 勿死(wu4 si3)? Its meaning is closer to, please don't die, than not dying, and though I am not sure, but 勿 uses to negating another word seems kinda ancient and outdated.

Ask HN: What is your sleep cycle?
My sleep cycle is fucked (3-8AM) and I spend most of my time in the office (10AM-6PM) half asleep. Every couple of days, come home early to get a couple of hours of sleep in the evening.

I find myself very productive in the night, after 11 PM (reading/programming), but I'm now resolved to change my sleep cycle to an optimal one.

I was wondering what your sleep cycle is, and how do you maintain it over time. It would be great if you can answer,

- What is your typical sleep cycle? How many hours of sleep do you need to feel fresh in the morning?
- Is it different over the weekend? Do you find it difficult to switch back to "normal" cycle on Mondays?
- Do you think your sleep cycle is optimal for you? If you can change it, what would it be?
- Are you productive at night or are you a morning person?
- Your best productive hours?

It seems that at the moment registrars have chosen to comply with the GDPR and ignore any requirements from ICANN that violate the GDPR.

If ICANN leaves it at that, then with respect to the GDPR the situation is fine.

If ICANN decides to enforce their policies and for example starts excluding European registrars, then we have a completely new situation that goes way beyond the GDPR.

Note that the DNS root is technically the IANA function, which is operated by ICANN. A lot of what ICANN can do derives from that.

If the EU would withdraw support from that, then a lot of chaos is going to result. Chaos that is certainly not in the interest of the US government. So my guess is that at the end of the day, the EU can have their GDPR and ICANN will just to accept that.

Hyper on macOS struggles quite a bit with this. It ran fine in Terminal.
apart from ssl, there are slight differences: last time I checked, "lynx" will do a http/1.0 request. Ubuntu nginx-common config suggestions do not ship gzipped content below http/1.1 if enabled without change (gzip_http_version 1.0). "w3m" is the same. "links" does http/1.1 without explicit runtime argument. I need to measure if this makes a difference in the general web (or with a day of my browsing history). http/1.0 sure does receive compressed content with "accept-encoding: gzip", but I'm curious if the http-version will make a big difference. Firefox will give you http/2.0
I stumbled on this detail when I was capped to 2 kbytes/s and tried different cli browser. I applaud the authors effort. The docs should mention the bandwith benefits are gained primarily if you have a remote to ssh into where you can setup a firefox install.
