I once set up a Slackware-based recovery partition on a USB HDD, and configured it so I could SSH to the machine, as root, with no password. (Took a bit of doing, too. OpenSSH is well built.) This HDD was only ever used for recovery.

Incidentally I only ever used it at home, on a LAN that only has devices I know about on it. In a work environment I'd only ever do the same running off an isolated lab switch.

But in certain situations, "login to the box as root w/ no pw" is awesome for rapid bringup/diagnosis/repair/whatever.

It seems rather easy to solve to me.

Are the adds structured to exclude certain groups from certain properties: Problem

Are the adds structured to engage each group as much as possible: No problem.

There might be some grey area where you decide not to market certain properties to certain groups, because you think they aren't interested rather then because you don't want them.
I was very surprised at the way they decided to go for `v2`. It seems kind counter to the Go philosophy so far of simplicity, predictability, etc. Now I can't just look at the imports list and apply a very simple mental rule to know what names are in scope - there's this hacky exception which magically changes the rule for very specific name schemes.

Why? It has worked out quite well for pretty much every other ecosystem like CPAN, PyPI, Maven etc. don't you think?
Even more complicated: The country of The Netherlands does not border France, but the Kingdom of The Netherlands does, as St. Maarten is a separate country within the kingdom.

St. Maarten isn't part of the EU, but St. Martin is. But inhabitants of St. Maarten are EU citizens, and there is no hard border between the two parts even though there should be one, as this is a border of the Schengen Area.

This means that I, a citizen of the country of The Netherlands with a identity card but without a passport, am allowed to travel directly to France via Belgium, and I can book a flight and enter St. Martin, but I am not allowed to visit St. Maarten!

> Not stopping the overthrow of the Shah (and then admitting him to the United States) may have been a mistake because of the hostage crisis that unfolded and also created geopolitical instability that continues to this day.

Fighting to defend a dictator the West effectively installed to suppress a populist movement was unlikely to have a better outcome than the Shah being ousted.

People in the West seem to forget the Iranian Revolution was _extremely_ popular in Iran.

Why was it popular?

Because the Shah was a corrupt and oppressive regime that was hated by the Iranian people. The Iranian Revolution wasn't the first time he was forced out of Iran either.

This delusion that Iran could be "ruled" by the Shah as a positive outcome needs to stop. It isn't borne out by the facts and it would have ended up collapsing eventually. Popular leaders don't need organizations like SAVAK to torture its own people.
That is not the alternative. Genocide will happen either way. One way just removes freedom from innocent people.

They exchanged some pieces of land along the Maas river.
Belgium had a piece of land on the Dutch riverside with no bridge near. There were parties there and the Dutch police had no jurisdiction, while the Belgian police needed at least 45 minutes to get there.
In the end, both governments had enough of this and swapped a bit of land.

When OnStar changed their terms of service back in April [1] it caused a bit of strife on the Volt forums I am a member of. Besides the increase in subscription fees, the lowest priced plan was $24.99 a month! However what people were most upset about was that Onstar would be collecting data for ten years but at the same time it would no longer provide remote start/stop or vehicle conditioning through the smartphone app unless paid for.

So they are monetizing in two directions. First by selling data about your habits you may not even realize they collect then subscription services to features of the car some people expect to just work. GM isn't alone, BMW charges just to use Apple CarPlay in their cars, Audi is near $500 a year for some services offered through the dash display; like updated maps and such.

I think a lot of it came down to people keeping cars longer and manufacturers needing to maintain an income stream

There are only two thinks bigger than the speed of light: the speed of darkness and the number of fake Einstein quotes in the Internet.

>>>>>>>>> Albert Einstein

The quote in the article is from an article in 1990, that is 35 years later than the dead of Einstein, so I'd not be so sure that it is a literal quote.

Also, if you read the Wikipedia article it says that he had a previous operation of the same aortal aneurism. Aneurism are very difficult to repair, and they are more difficult when they are already bleeding. So the operation may have been a last effort attempt that has a ridiculously low chance of success.

No. This is as silly as vegans saying animals deserve the same rights as humans because we are animals too. Does that mean we have to prosecute a lion that kills a wildebeest? Or what happens when my dog kills a rodent or a cat kills a bird? Should they be imprisoned?

If rivers have rights does it also has responsibility and culpability? What happens if a river overflows and few people drown? Do we punish the river?

A question in the title aside, I love the advocacy embedded in the title. "A growing movement"? From what to what? 2 to 3 people? The article is trying to grow the movement, it isn't reporting on a growing movement.

The only way to give rivers rights is to give it personhood rights in the same vein as corporations. But that means that rivers become privately owned entities. Do we want rivers to be owned by shareholders?

Rivers, like animals, are natural resources. Nations and states are stewards of it.
It works in radians, did you convert the 25 degrees to radians first?

That being said, I cannot even get it to compute the sine of 2 correct. If I type: 2, UP, + (sin is under the "up" part of the plus button), it returns 1e-3. I think I'm entering it correctly, what could be wrong?

EDIT: found it, I think it only supports values between -pi/2 and pi/2 radians. It computes the sine of 1 radian correctly.

EDIT2: after doing the sin/cos/tan/atan/acos/asin sequence on 0.43633 (25 degrees in radians), it gives 0.43400. Not that bad! I mean, not great, but at least 2 digits.
The concept behind corporations as "people" is that people don't lose rights just because they are engaging in their right of free association.

The corporate entity only "has rights" because it is a collection of people, and those people have rights.

Ecosystems aren't collections of people.

Since modern philosophy has been teaching that reality is a social construct, why wouldn't it follow that each individual self is too? Further, we have been taught that values are socially determined (market prices, fashion, popular arts, ...) and that for the individual the highest moral compass resides in the well-being of others (e.g. utilitarianism, charity drives, altruism, welfare programs, ...).

Given this, wouldn't it be abnormal to eschew social networks and the daily, hourly, validation they provide? of course people used to seek social acceptance in person, but physical social intercourse has been shrinking, so the online world is now where we can most easily obtain it. And soon, virtual worlds will provide in even greater abundance.

For years (and due to a comment I read here changing my ways), I have responded to all the cold emails and linkedin messages I get from recruiters with a short polite response thanking them for their consideration and saying I will reach out if I become interested in new opportunities. So this time I actually did that last part: I reached out to a recruiter who had sent me a linkedin message a year or so earlier. He didn't actually work for the company any longer (if I'm remembering correctly), but knew the person who had taken his role. He put me in touch with her and she got me started on the interview process.

For those of us in science/engineering path, the HP-35 was as lust inducing as pretty coeds. To actually own one was to be both envied and hated. Not being able to afford the $200 or so it took to buy one, I bought the much cheaper TI-52. Turned out to be a great choice that carried me through my BSEE and well into my first job until it was replaced with the programmable TI-59. Unfortunately, being unable to envision there ever being a collectors market for these things, I got rid of both of them.
> they sent me the other reviews for a reason unknown to me

This is common in my field, though not every journal does it. For the ones that do, after a decision is made, all the reviewers will get a letter from the editor thanking them for reviewing the paper, notifying them what decision was made, and enclosing a copy of all the reviews for reference (often with a meta-review or review summary written by the editor). I find it helpful to see the other reviews, since I can improve my reviewing by paying more attention next time to things the other reviewers had caught that I'd missed, and just get a better idea of how calibrated my reviewing is with that of others.
The way this is titled makes the relation seem directional, and in the wrong direction...

Basing self worth on social acceptance definitely predates Facebook, and Facebook addiction is a pretty obvious consequence of the positive feedback loop that you'd get form using Facebook to feed that part of yourself.

Not defending Facebook or any other social network here, I personally think Facebook is likely toxic -- but I think it's pretty hard for a social network to exist without having this flaw.

Ask HN: Will server-side Swift be succesful?
I'm curious to hear HN's opinion on Swift on the server-side. I'm very excited about it myself (have been dabbling with Vapor, a Swift web framework).

I see a potential road-block for Swift's becoming really popular as a server-side language: The default ecosystem for Swift/Vapor development seems to be macOS + Xcode, and while an Ubuntu version is available, it 1) isn't available for the newest Ubuntu version yet, and 2) there's no Xcode on Ubuntu, so you'll miss out of the things that Xcode can give you that a command-line Swift interpreter can't. Even Vapor's own hello world example relies on Xcode. And if you're on Windows, your only option seems to be running an (outdated) version of Ubuntu in a virtual machine.

Point is, while Swift and Vapor are great, Swift may not reach its full potential unless developers are less tied to a specific OS and editor/IDE. What do you think?

(Btw., when asking a question like the above, some people will say, "just use the best tool for the job". This is a common opinion, but in reality the popularity of a language and framework means a huge deal when it comes to getting help, looking up answers, hiring programmers, hosting your project easily, etc.).

Better posture in the first place.

Chances are that your monitor is too low. Especially if you’re using a laptop. Try getting an external keyboard and mouse and keeping the midpoint of your monitor 30-ish inches above the keyboard.

If you still find yourself tilting your neck forward to the monitor, get your vision checked.

Finally, be cognizant of dropping your head forward to look at your phone. Instead raise your phone up and forward so you can keep your head fully upright while using it.
I would say the state of Go dependency management is somewhere between what GP implies: "everyone is using go get to run things directly from master and that's terrible" and what you imply: "everyone has standardized around dep and that's fine".

I picked 5 "important" Go projects without checking first, and here's the solutions they use:

Kubernetes: The deprecated tool Godep + a pile of Make and Bash (which is the Go-est thing I've ever heard in my life)

Docker (Moby): vndr

Hugo: dep

Etcd: A bit of a mish-mash of dep and vndr, but mostly dep.

Cobra: Doesn't vendor dependencies, isn't a reproducible build (which is somewhat okay, as Cobra is primarily a library, not a tool in and of itself, but it does also have a CLI that probably breaks a lot).

In short, things are not currently fine. Dep is an okay tool, but fails for some use cases, and the community has not really rallied around it. Lots of important projects are sticking with what they've got. Glide, gvt, vndr, and Godep all remain important.

We're deluding ourselves if we discard an outsider's view that Go's dependency management situation is a dumpster fire, because it is. However, to GP, it isn't quite as bad as you suggest, most projects using Go have found some way or another of getting reproducible builds, and don't just run everything from tip of everyone else's master.

I am cautiously optimistic that modules will finally solve this mess, but we'll see to what extent they win in the marketplace of dependency management solutions.
Narrower paths are significantly cheaper to build and maintain. The article has some images of the narrow paths used. A single track vehicle is more usable on bad roads of any width. Such vehicles only need to dodge the potholes and dropoffs that would cause extra energy use and might be entirely impassible to a multi-track vehicle.

This sort of effect is seen with bicycles in urban areas. A single narrow broken kerb can create a new bicycle route where there was none before. This superiority of single track vehicles is sometimes used intentionally as a filter to allow the passage of bicycles and prevent the passage of cars. In my city there are raised medians on some bicycle routes with a pair of narrow cuts (for 2 way bike traffic) to allow the passage of the intended traffic across a road without creating another route usable by cars and trucks.
Great wars make great generals.

People aren't great in and of themselves. They are great within an environment.

So everyone is a "victim" of externalities.
Orange Pi Review: Orange Pi Prime Set Up and Hands-On Look
> If there are good reasons why ... the housing provider would prefer them

Housing is a neccesity in life. Therefore, discrimination by housing providers is a real problem. Being excluded from parts of the housing market is very different from being excluded from parts of the beauty market.
Even more so because housing viable for e.g. white people is equally viable for black people. Whereas the same does not hold for beauty products.

Now, if indeed the other case were to occur (where one ethnicity is not interested in certain housing, and advertising reflects this) that would be less obviously bad. However, like I stated it seems less likely that this would occur. Moreover, this is a very convenient cover for people who do wish to discriminate.

10 Best Arduino Projects

That would be a lot of steel. 100 meters of water is submarine territory. You need some thick walls to stem the radial pressure alone, probably at least 5 inches or 13 cm of steel (consider [0] and [1], this value also agrees with my intuition from engineering education). Assuming a barrel of 2 m radius and 3 m height (volume ~36 m³), that's 5 cubic meters (or 8 tons) of steel you'd need for the cylindrical hull alone, costing around 8000 USD in material [2] (varies wildly of course, but you're probably not using submarine grade steel). Per ~40 ton barrel. Would make about 40 million in steel costs alone for the number of barrels shown.

I have no idea what your air compression idea entails, but it doesn't sound more realistic. Concrete is pretty good at being stacked (source: look around you).

Cool. I wonder if it makes sense to make a roller-coaster-like potential energy storage system? It sounds like the electric motor-generator problem is solved. Escalator technology has many decades of safety and efficiency track record.

It also might make sense to use shipping containers full of heavy rubble rather than purpose-built concrete blocks. Container cranes already are designed to work fast and accurately. Containers are common and strong, and solving the saftey problem of weight integrity might be easier.
This doesn't follow at all. I am very committed to the well-being of others, and donate my time and money in various ways to help, but I'm not on social media because it is so clearly a game that takes people away from their best ideals. As an example, consider people who post photos of the party they went to last night, or the vacation they took last week. There is a competition to suggest that their life is amazing. I don't judge them, and they are free to live however they wish, but that focus takes people away from the ideals of helping others.

You mention that notion that reality is a social construct. This makes me think of Jean Baudrillard[1] and his assertion that the Gulf War I did not occur, it was simply a television show that we all watched.

Baudrillard would obviously assert that Facebook is part of the Simulacra. (I don't think anyone can doubt that, so I'm not qualifying the sentence.) If one is trying to get back to something real, the path does not lead through Facebook. If one is trying to find real connections with other human beings, the path does not lead through Facebook.

There are many factors. Culture, Market, Tax system etc.

One of the major factors is the environment and building the culture. Many of US tech success companies are founded or driven by European(and Asian) expats.

So there is nothing wrong about Europeans themselves. It is rather the environment.

That is why Berlin is doing a better job because they could make a better environment comparing to most of the European cities.

Europe is not paying enough attention to how they are lacking there, considering how tech is going to play a crucial role in industries and the future economy.

Europeans are also really busy with the political mess that US is building around them (ex. Middle East, Russia, Immigrants coming from conflict zones) and for a society that is just recovered after WW, that means not being prepared to accept expats as it used to be in last few decades for Silicon Valley. Therefore they don't have diversity factor which is one of the biggest advantages for Silicon Valley.
