The other problem is what you read; if you’re reading 2 books a week... you’re probably not reading very good books, if only because it would be difficult to maintain a backlog of good stuff at that pace. You normally build a library of hundreds of books over a decade, and a thousand books in a lifetime is impressive.

I wouldn’t be surprised if most people reading at this pace have a library similar to barnes and noble, with perhaps the cult classics of their field. But I can’t imagine their actually committing to much research in each subject area, and thus, not much depth
Everyone had a bad habit of leaving the FPS at 25 (iirc that was the default. Maybe 24). I wonder how smooth it can be if that was fixed and the same engineering went into it that goes into GSAP?

That would be great but in reality we're going to need self driving cars which are near enough perfect with the existing infrastructure to get some major traction before roads start getting designed for them.
Seems to me that the size of the star would be a problem. Assuming the process of actually building stuff large enough to cover a star is solved, how do you control the polarizer to get any reasonable bandwidth? The light emitted from one side of the star will be shifted in time relative to the light emitted from the other side, in anything other than a very narrow beam. Targets outside of this beam will not really receive much of a signal due to interference.
I think people with a Google phone should just implant a chip in their arm, reporting to Google. It's basically the same thing, and you can view your body information on a Google dashboard and get Google advice on health care, along with a Google map to get there.

Predictably impair QUIC flows
Well, other former communist states did better, such as Poland, Romania, the Baltics, Hungary.

The problem was really that the prize was too big. Russia had the oil production. That made it worthwhile doing whatever was necessary to steal control of the money flowing from it.

(Perhaps a more salient question is how and whether the US can be prevented from turning into a mafia state; will the ongoing prosecution roll up the network, or will the network roll up the prosecution?)

languages.. are everywhere. You keep making them even if you do not notice. Say, a function with 3 arguments is a small language.. just missing all the fuss, checks and generality. A repeating data structure that feeds some switch-decision tree is another language.. implicit one, essentialy the code is an interpreter.

But it's much better to make languages explicit. And there's no need to invent new grammars and parsers.. keep those for real extreme cases.

i express my languages in python, its easiest to use as base and build semantics on top (and even syntax).
One can just use function/class-based declarations, of domain-specific notions, and then interpret them any way one wants.
Or one can even turn function-calls into "statements", and "with"-construct into "blocks-of-statements", etc.
Gives you strict debuggable proto-syntax, on which to build your own "syntax"/semantics/error-checking/reporting.

but any way, try to see/feel the Language behind the syntax/implementation.

"In high-energy and particle physics, projects are done by large international teams that can have upwards of 1,000 members. All participants are listed as authors as a mark of membership of the team, not for writing or revising the papers. We therefore excluded authors in physics."

One important point that the authors are missing is that most of the results published by those teams are null results. This doesn't happen in the other fields considered in the article, e.g. medicine, where there is often a positive-results bias, despite the lower number of publications per author.

> It’s also true that an average wage earner today enjoys a higher standard of living than at any point in history - bigger house, more cars, tvs, and luxury items.

I really disagree with that. I'm a 35 year old single man with no kids and a well payed software developer, better paid than 90% of the population. At this point in life my father had a stay at home wife, 2 kids and was working for near minimum wage as a cleaner.

He had a huge 4 bedroom house, double garage, large backyard with a swimming pool, 2 cars etc and was close to paying off the house at my age. Meanwhile I'm looking forward to pay off a tiny studio apartment in a few years.

Yes we've got bigger TV's and smart phones now, but they don't contribute to a high standard of living.
Excellent! Thanks for the quick fix.

Freelancing usually allows for more varied hours per week/month for a given client, if you can deal with not being on a salary.

It probably also depends what stack you usually work in. The more esoteric the skills (or more valuable you are to them) the more likely people will accept flexible timing, in situations where they may prefer someone full time.

LineageOS was working great for me on my Oneplus 3T for about 6 months, but something has gone wrong with recent updates. It has started slowing down to the point of being unusable and I have to reset my phone several times a day. There have been about 6 updates since I started seeing the issue and it hasn't been addressed.

I loathe going back to Oneplus's stock ROM as they modified it to kill background processes to make the phone seem like it has better battery life. I own a Tesla Model 3 and it uses the phone as a key, and the stock ROM doesn't work well with it at all.

Ask HN: Extend use of cookies and JWT for authorization cache
Hi All,

I have been a HN reader for a while and learnt a lot from reading the inputs from the crowd. Lately I have been toying with an idea to handle resource authorization a bit differently and thought it might be a good platform to validate the practical feasibility and short comings for the same. Thanks a lot for reading it, would really appreciate any inputs, feedback and questions.

Assuming that we are right that matter can't 'travel' FTL, it's entirely possible that signals can (despite our current inability to understand how) somehow travel FTL. Once discovered, that method might be a thousand or million times FTL.

Such a relatively instant means of communication would become the defacto standard. Antiquated EM methods and equipment would be forgotten. Noone would be listening for it, just as very few today would recognize semaphore flags, smoke signals, or telegraph codes.

Today we'd not be eligible to join that club. And if we choose to remain certain that it doesn't exist, our determined ignorance would keep us locked out. If we conclude that we aren't special, that there -must- be life elsewhere, then the only logical thing to do is to keep our minds open and keep looking for clues.

We can't ever decide that we know enough. A century ago, the Milky Way was the whole universe. A few more observations changed that forever.

It's condescending to tell people to never ever ever do something that's infrequently useful. I tend not to trust people who take that manipulative approach. And your experience doesn't represent the whole of how Docker is used. You especially seem to be irked by using Docker partly for convenience within a single host, but also to isolate a container that contains code from many different sources (npm packages) that are more frequently updated (the node.js/ghost container doesn't have access to the docker socket). This is mixing different uses of Docker.

On the second point, I mean that to call it escaping the container is incorrect. If they are given access to the docker socket intentionally, the expectation that it wouldn't be able to do anything with the server outside the container is gone.
Thanks for reporting! I'll make sure to check them out
It would take someone with reasonable technical skills to install LineageOS as it involves unlocking the phone's bootloader (depending on the choice of phone hardware), working around any anti-rollback features by flashing, flashing TWRP recovery, and then boot into TWRP and install LineageOS, GApps and Magisk (if you want root). But the OS once installed can be used by all. Take my non-technical cousin for example who looked at what I was doing and bought the same phone and made me put LineageOS on it and now uses it.

It isn't advice or suggestion BTW.. just my experience. :)

The diameter of Sun is 4.5 light-seconds. This is the lower bound for Sun-sized polarizer switching, as whatever switching process is it has to propagate at below speed of light. Which gives a really poor communication bandwidth even compared to a human Morse operator.

Well beyond reason to assume something pedestrian for you - a developer - to be "reasonable skills" for the average Joe.

Do you build your own car? Or bike? Or home? Or even mattress? All of these can be done with reasonable skills, they aren't because you pay for a finished product, in most cases, for the economy to remain productive. No one ever said 'reinvent the wheel' for making progress.

I will not be unique in this. Many people will be negatively affected by it, some far, far worse than me. (For some history on far more subtle things than this causing problems for some people, look into what happened in iOS 7 (I think it was that version) in what led to the “prefers reduced motion” setting.)

Quite apart from the how it will made some people feel sick, there is simply too much that is different about the site, so that a great many people, when they encounter it, will get lost very quickly. It’s not as bad as mystery meat navigation, but its navigation scheme is very dubious, because it lacks the “tells” of normal web browsing.

It’s an interesting technical demonstration, but not a good website for normal people to use. For a film-maker it may or may not backfire, but I’ve seen a couple of sites of developers, designers and such agencies, that looked and behaved vaguely like this from a navigation perspective, and the main thing that I take out of such sites is that the the creator of the site didn’t care about accessibility. And I don’t mean making the site usable for disabled people, I mean making the site usable for anyone. I would never hire any such person or organisation for any web development work.

(I failed to notice this the first time, but this site is also enormous. I killed it off as it hit 75MB, and I think it was still loading more video. I will freely and precisely describe such a page size as absurd and insane. I would not have loaded the site even once had I realised what and how large it would be.)
In ancient Rome, the right to collect taxes in some provinces was contracted out. If you won the contract, you had to provide Rome with at least the amount you bid for the contract, but anything you could manage to collect beyond that was yours to keep. And if people failed to pay their taxes to you, you often had the right to enslave them in order to collect.

On my fairly high-spec computer it was nearly 30 seconds on the first load, with not much indication that something was loading besides the slim loading bar. Visually it looks pretty slick but I wonder if it's worth the tradeoff? Subsequent loads seem much faster, though.
