My bad, missed the explanation below, go synchronization requires a much further distance than the iss. So I guess they will also have to make a new station or shuttle system to get to the iss.

Its funny. I think if you took away the context of it being an old Shakespeare play, most people would find The Taming of the Shrew (which 10 Things I Hate About You is very loosely based on) fairly abhorrent.
Fair enough. We have to start somewhere. Perhaps a tether climbing rig will be be useful in future megacity skyscrapers.
Salaries are determined by market rates and negotiating power. Fairness has nothing to do with it.
The entire kitchen scene in The Comedy of Errors is hilarious.

> Marry, sir, she's the kitchen wench and all grease;
and I know not what use to put her to but to make a

warrant, her rags and the tallow in them will burn a
Poland winter: if she lives till doomsday,
she'll burn a week longer than the whole world.

If Shakespeare's plays were written today, there would be outrage. Political correctness was definitely not a concept in 1594.

I wrote an entire BPM run-time automation in pl/pgsql. The BPs were stored as PG rows, the deciding data was in the PG DB, and PG triggers automated quite a bit, so the firt seemed perfect. The strong static typing was annoying (I am a Lisper) but did have the usual payoff: if it runs at all it is probably right. Debugging over a socket was rough, but I could take the failed query and drop it straight into a pgAdmin query and get back a very clear error. Guy building the BP front-end picked up what I had done in a few days, and he had never done pg/plsql before.

It took a week to code up, another 2-3 for expressing the initial huge BP and a random BP test driver. Worked great.

My only question is whether I would do it again the same way. I liked that there was not some external system that had to be running for the BP to run, but it is not hard to arrange that and then one gets a much more accessible programming environemnt (such as Lisp). I guess I will not know until I get to do it again.
>Hacker News isn't a town square.

True enough at it's inception. But a look at the front page will disprove it today. It's just that some perspectives on some topics are more equal than others.

>in comments

There's no debating that re: comments. But it's not relevant to this topic or my comment about the topic (which is high quality, relevant, and tech).

Of course meta comments like these are exactly what are justifiably moderated and removed. You could argue this one was flagged because it might lead to these kind of comment threads, cutting it off before it could start. But it wouldn't start if the flag wasn't confirmed.
>High quality free and open source cryptography software is readily available and no joint statement is going to change that.

"With the signing of the International Protect Peace and Stability Accords, it will now be considered a criminal act to design or deal cybermunitions, unless done in the service of an allied military or a specially vetted corporation."

Sure, national governments can't completely eliminate everything they ban, but do you really think that you and I will be encrypting anything in a world where that's illegal? If the penalty for encrypting information is made higher than the expected value risk of having your own systems breached, then the only ones who will be willing to circumvent that law will be people with extremely sensitive communications, like criminals. So, no, in this case saying that "the math is against you," is like telling a DEA agent that the chemistry is against them - sure, people still cook in trailers, but the government has done a lot to stop it.

I believe otherwise for following aftereffects.
1. Literally Every nook & corner shop now accepts digital payments.
2. I have seen cash-distribution by candidates during elections to influence votes! They were mostly absent in the immediate subsequent state elections.
3. Many "Poor" people made extra money by queuing in the line for "Rick" people. The commission went as high as 20% at some places.
4. Terrorist activity immediately stopped all over the place because they are mostly cash sponsored.
5. Situation normalized within 3 month.
6. Many of counterfeit presses in neighboring countries stopped working for some time at least.

I also stood in line 4 or 5 times, but than every "Line" in India is average 10m long for any kind of services. We are used to it !!!!

This is already the case with 1099-K and even though the link at https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/how-does-paypal-... refers to sales, the catch all mechanism is entirely driven by number of transactions and amounts which are easily attainable with an active social circle.
Note that regardless of language tag, IIRC the article you read defaults to an unconverted version, which results in a mish-mash of simple and traditional characters (many simple characters and traditional characters have different codepoints and are not transformed by han unification language tags).
Nice, you've described my website too. :) One other thing, that I've not seen offered anywhere, that I have on my website in addition to what you described, is a download link for a tarball of the offline version of the website that works perfectly for offline reading via file:// protocol.

I have made it because I have made my static site generator for the purpose of storing my Linux administration knowledge, and having an offline version is good if you get cut off from the internet, or you're offline and want to figure out how to setup that gprs modem again on Linux.

I added the feature to my public websites too, because why not. It might be useful to someone somewhere and it also adds weight to the claim that "I don't track you".
It's very surprising how much diet affects health. Very few members of the medical community have much knowledge of nutrition and a lot of the medical journal information is flat out misleading.

For example, I've had two bowel resections (first at age 12) and have been living with Crohn's and Colitis for over 20 years. Without those resources you've listed, I'd be stuck on monthly cyanocobalamin injections due to a terminal ileum resection. With those resources advice, I tried methylcobalamin and was able to absorb B12 orally. One less monthly injection for me.

I've also discovered a link between copper and angular cheilitis and many others. Most medical journals will point you in the direction of pharmaceuticals, which definitely have their place but also don't always work. I've been on many strong immunosuppressive medications most of my life and they do work.
How does the load have to reach orbital velocity? I think there is some disconnect here..
The way I have approached this problem is to take a look at previous large code bases where I and others inevitably built frameworks and solutions to problems we ran into. They were created because we either couldn’t find a reasonable alternative or our needs were simple that we didn’t need to introduce a lot more complexity to our app. It’s nice to take a step back every once and a while and try and build toy problems where you revisit those problems in architecture and see how you would do it different using today’s existing solutions. I find balance using really simple and boring tech while taking advantage of some frameworks that make life easier (depending on preference)
So simply put, you're moving the goalposts.

It used to be the argument for Bitcoin was this vast thing that could fix US Centralized Banking once and for all. And now, your best argument appears to be fixing an inflationary economy run by a dictator.

While it may give people the ability to use a new currency without government approval, at some point a person has to convert a Bolivar to a Bitcoin and back. And a dictator can make most of those conversions illegal, if he so chooses.

So no. Your argument doesn't sway me. Particularly because Brazil went through something similar a few years ago as well and didn't require the use of bitcoin to fix it's inflationary spiral.

I would think that such a contentious issue would lead to people doing research which would lead to views which would lead to the AI thinking "hmm, this seems to be a popular topic, maybe other people might like to see it too?"

Assuming, of course, one believes in the myth of the informed voting public.
Aaaah reminds me of my student age when I made a weather widget. It was back in 2009 and yeah being student I tried to monetize it. Needless to day I failed despite getting almost million hits in a day. The only thing I was loosing was pocket money and sanity from emails people will send for support.
There are two types of energy at play here: the gravitational potential energy and the kinetic energy of the orbiting object (necessary to maintain an orbit).

As you climb the cable, the force of gravity pulling you back to earth decreases, and the centrifugal force pulling you away from earth increases. The difference between these two is the force you need to provide to climb the cable.

I believe you are correct for tethers much shorter than geosynchronous orbit. Below geosynchronous orbit, the force of gravity is higher than the centrifugal force. Therefore, an object climbing a space elevator will have to provide energy equal to the integral of the difference between the centrifugal force and the gravitational force across the distance traveled. The remaining energy (the remaining gravitational potential and the kinetic energy of the orbit) will be leeched from the orbiting counterweight (requiring the counterweight to have a rocket to maintain orbit, as you suggested)

For tethers that extend beyond geosynchronous orbit, it is possible to for no energy to be removed from the counterweight (instead, all the non-climbing energy will be taken from the rotation of the earth). Imagine that we place a counterweight on a tether beyond geosynchronous orbit. This counterweight and the earth it form an orbiting two body system. The tether will be under tension (the force necessary to keep the counterweight in synchronous orbit) -- let's call that force T. A climber that scales the tether will exert some force T_1 on the counterweight, pulling it towards the earth. However, as long as T_1 is less than T, the counterweight will remain where it is. The force of the table on the earth will become T_2 = T - T_1. In other words, a portion of the force necessary to keep the counterweight in orbit will now be applied by the climber instead of by earth. The energy that the climber must apply is the same as before, but the counterweight is not affected. The remaining energy, by process of elimination, must come from the rotation of the earth.

Geosynchronous orbit is 42 km from the center of the earth while the ISS orbits 7k km from the center of the earth. I expect the experiments are being done at the ISS for convenience rather than from a plan to build a space elevator to the ISS. The article also cites speed and distance numbers that imply reaching a geosynchronous orbit.

To answer your questions more directly: 1) below geosynchronous orbit, yes. 2) No, the ability to extract energy from the earth's rotation is the main advantage. 3) Yes, but for a counterweight beyond geosynchronous orbit, the tension on the tether will pull it vertical.

>The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed.

Nobody is denying it, indeed we see many related development.

However, it's not only about "the lost future that never comes", I think it's also due to the people being increasingly alienated about the current state of computing. Primarily, it's about the lost mentality of the future.

Cyberpunk promised a future where computing is the disruptive technology. Since 2006, the ever-increasing clock speed came to a halt. Since 2013, the general performance of Intel processors remained constant. Selling of PCs keeps declining. No major breakthrough in practical operating systems are made beyond Unix (http://herpolhode.com/rob/utah2000.pdf).

Cyberpunk promised a future where megacorps and governments being increasingly oppressive to the population with technology, it has occurred as predicted. Cyberpunk also promised the "cyberspace" is going to be the electronic frontier where technologists reclaimed liberty... Today, the damn web browser that runs all the craps written in Electron and JavaScript is hardly the "frontier", neither Facebook, Twitter and the endless timeline of buzz, which constitute 90% of the Internet activities count. Also, from 2000-2013, decentralization was killed, not built. Move importantly, today, we don’t even know how to waste time on the Internet anymore (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17068138). Though, It, still, has arguably occurred to some extents too, but progressed slowly, even the basic tech like HTTPS was only deployed after Snowden.

A future where anything seemed possible and all of it was magical is definitely gone. But the new generation of developers, armed with decentralization, P2P, cryptography, and trustless system, no matter if it's going to be successful or not, would bring the Internet back to its cyberpunk ideals, revive the dream and set the history forward.

Part of this is the realization that backward (or forward) tens of millions of years or more is a place as awesomely distant as a star hundreds of light years away. Billions of years may as well be another galaxy. Time as well as space is vast, and we really can't see details very far. There could have been two or three "flowerings" of high intelligence on Earth so far and we would have little direct evidence.
If he forgets the password or it gets magically reset somehow and he legitimately no longer has access to the account (a stretch....password resets are a thing for this reason), then perhaps he should still serve his time anyway as the crime has already been committed. If it was unrecoverable, then of course he'd still be able to get out. It even says in the article he was sentenced to 14 months, not until he gave up the password.
Lawful access solutions just means that someone will use it unlawfully.

pre-note: the allergies are examples, as I'm not sure the specifics here.

The money you'd spend on just going to a specialist will far outclass what you are going to find online. They are able to isolate exactly what is causing the allergy and intolerance.

Personally, I don't think that food allergies are increasing so much as there is a wider understanding of allergies and intolerances (there is a difference). Conditions that were unclassified 20 years ago are now acknowledged as real conditions. Only a few years ago, people who would complain of being allergic to "hypo-allergenic" foods like bananas, plums, cherries, and so on were laughed out of the office and called hypochondriacs. Dust, pollen, and peanuts, and similar were classed as allergens. Today, the story is different. The relationship between seasonal allergies and food allergies is better understood. For example, you can be allergic to a certain tree, which only blooms in fall, and that tree will trigger a food allergy that only expresses itself during the fall. This doesn't mean you should start eating an allergen during the off-seasons (IMO).

I live with a lot of allergies and intolerances. My best advice is to simply stay away from what can make your daughters sick. Unfortunately, they will end up discovering allergies the hard way, and you can only support them by trying to recognize what is going to make them ill. If you open an orange and they are sneezing, stop buying and eating oranges. Everyone will have to make some sacrifices for them, but at the same time, learn to differentiate between what is okay and not okay to eat around them.

There is nothing more irritating than eating a piece of strawberry cake and apologizing to them for eating that in front of them. To them, you are eating poison, so it's no loss to them.

And FFS, please for all things lovely, don't ever ever ever sneak an allergen into their food to see what happens. That's incredibly rude, and yep, their friends and boyfriends are going to do this to them (ugh).

I will say that there are various reactions. For me, I know what I can and cannot eat. If I get something on accident, I'll simply toss up in about 15 minutes, which is much better than the reactions I used to get.

Please just listen to your doctor. Get the allergy shots, and get the epi-pen if needed.

I would also (lightly) advise that the issues with allergies is compounded because a lot of people don't understand nutrition at all. Adkins is good, bad, neutral? What? I'm nearing 40, have good general health, and look about 10 years younger than my age. I know of a few others with a similar range of allergies who are in amazing general health. A friend's relative plays professional sports and can eat maybe 10 things without getting ill. While it emotionally hurts to see someone who can't eat all the "healthy" stuff, just remember that it is poison to their body, and you just have to work with what you have.

Hope that helps.

I absolutely detest government intervention in any aspect of the society. In fact, I suffered personally like a billion others because of this crap that the government unleashed on us. I am just seeing the brighter side of things.

I can't comment on the convenience of digital wallets for all sections of the society. For the urban middle class I can say with conviction, that digital wallets trump cash. The biggest obstacle for digital wallet adoption were the mom and pop shops. Now even a juice vendor accepts PayTM. I don't think the wallets are as harsh as the credit card guys on the merchants. So I see the adoption as a win-win, at least for the urban middle class.

All of this doesn't negate the endless suffering ulneashed by the cash crackdown though.
It's not status quo in an active vote situation. Your not showing up to vote did not cast a vote in favor of the status quo. Divisiveness is bidirectional by its nature.

The rest of your post is political fervor on your view of the vote and not related to whether YouTube's algorithms promoted divisiveness in all forms instead of just the one you don't like.
Yep. See also: Clinton versus Trump. Trump was the perfect clickbait candidate.
That's common with a lot of Shakespeare. A lot of his plotlines and humour are marginal at best. If Shakespeare was alive and writing these plays today, he would be pilloried.

The Merchant of Venice is blatantly anti-Semetic. The Comedy of Errors has a whole scene that's just fat shaming for no good reason. There's plenty of other examples of things that would be problematic if written in a modern context. Obviously it wasn't problematic several hundred years ago, and we shouldn't judge Shakespeare by modern standards.
It's not even hard. Gab and Voat exist. No innovation is needed to set up a social site. You can run a sizable one for less than a few hundred a month given how cheap cloud hosting has become.
Not to put too fine a point on it, if the author's intent is to say that their algorithm intentionally promotes nationalism and xenophobia, I think they missed the headline ;-)

I think it's perfectly fair to say that videos from both sides evoked similar passion. We can argue whether it's "good" passion or "bad" passion, but I can't see what difference it makes. Why would I watch a pro-Brexit video for a longer time than an anti-Brexit video, based on topic alone (i.e. assuming that both videos were equally effective in addressing their audience)?
Every single point that you have said has been debunked many times over. DeMo was a stupid thing to even try accomplishing what you are trying to say it accomplished.

For the want of killing crocodiles, we drained the whole pond and only ended up killing the fish instead. Crocodiles were back after a month.

I got my degree in English lit, but it's only as an adult, with the benefit of life experience, that I feel I can really appreciate so many of the books I read in college and high school. The best books seem to say something true in a way that goes beyond black and white. A truth you can only find in the experience of living.
This isn't even controversial, they've been blocking right-wing people nonstop. Hacker news does it too btw
Keeping connections open on a lambda isn’t a good thing. If you have a lot of Lambdas and a lot of load you can end up hitting max connection limits. Better to open late and close early and take a hit rather than risk taking your db offline.
> Indian companies will work more closely with the Indian government for more oppressive surveillance of its people.

And having the source open and reviewable does not help with that? The problem with depending on is - this might not be apparent in a short term - is that it allows foreign control over the matters here.

Basically what you are asking is something like asking to be ruled by a foreign power. Because local rulers might pushed around easily by pushed around by local corruption and influence.

Basically there is potential for oppression either way. Do you prefer it to be by your own people or foreign powers?

>likely make a censored version for India if they see it as a big enough market. Hey presto, the worst of both worlds!

I don't know because It looks like that is the worst of the both worlds to me..
Maybe, but I can tell you I got nothing from reading "Waiting for Godot" as a sophomore in high school. Age is something that is hard to relate to when your 14-15. Worse philosophy tends to be a luxury when your really poor and have more immediate concerns. I might have been offended by being called "emotionally immature" at that age but i also found Jane Eyre and similar to be pointless rubbish at that age.

Although, maybe the point of a "classic" is that it should have broad appeal, but there is a difference between intellectually understanding something and being able to relate to it. I found Grapes of Wrath to be relatable, but tedious in high school, and noticed a correlation a between the amount of hate better off kids in class espoused for it vs the fact that I while I found it immensely depressing, I didn't mind it nearly as much as many of the other assignments.
