It's not Rama.. the thing is thumbling chaotically. If it had been revolving around its long axis, then we should be concerned. Maybe.

In any case - the researchers concluded that there's probably a large gas giant in the solar system it came from. No planets have been observed around the four star candidates yet, but presumably nobody looked yet. So now there's an opportunity to test the hypothesis: Start looking.

Joining a trade union.

When I got made redundant from a very large company, they were able to secure me a severance package which I pivoted into running my own startup.

They also gave me a huge amount of training on pensions and dispute resolution, which I still use to this day.

They also helped boost my confidence in public speaking by inviting me to address a huge conference. I was a few speakers before the then Prime Minister.

Being a union member also got me face to face with several senior leaders within my industry, and with people from a wide range of backgrounds that I'd never have encountered otherwise.

Basically, for a few quid a month, I was able to completely transform my relationship with work and my peers.

And then there's Rudy Rucker's Turing & Burroughs.[0]

> What if Alan Turing, founder of the modern computer age, escaped assassination by the secret service to become the lover of Beat author William Burroughs? What if they mutated into giant shapeshifting slugs, fled the FBI, raised Burroughs’s wife from the dead, and tweaked the H-bombs of Los Alamos? A wild beatnik adventure, compulsively readable, hysterically funny, with insane warps and twists—and a bad attitude throughout.

I'll be looking for a company that intrinsically doesn't sell user data. How can you work around that?
I did something similar. The HN community had been pretty much my virtual mentor ever since I stumbled upon here. Consequently, I had a subconsciously ingrained aversion for BigCorps and joined a (3 person)startup right out of college.

On hindsight, I consider it a mistake. Micromanagement, lack of depth in terms of engineering & vision made me rethink my career path. Joined a BigCorp as a result and I regret not doing it early enough.

Work-life balance, clear decision makings, freedom to experiment with new tech, time to work on personal projects, financial stability and most importantly ability to bring real impact to real users – I clearly see now things that I'd have missed if I continued with that startup.

US has this clout because it controls a large part of the organizations for international cooperation.

Google used to pay people working on Firefox, including the lead engineer at the time, Ben Goodger. They pulled them to work on Chrome. Had they wanted, they could have invested more in Firefox to improve its performance. But what they really wanted was full control over their own Web browser.
When I was walking around recently, I also ran into a self-service trash disposal/compactor installed on the street called iTrash (cute video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA-clGCo5YI). For trash, you pay by weight, and for recycling, you receive a small amount of money in return. This would be the high tech solution; it seems like they're piloting it at one location only.

Whether these would save money or not if deployed en masse is an operations research problem, but the more interesting question is whether citizens would wax nostalgic if their musical garbage trucks started to disappear, and if that would influence folks' sense of civic duty.

A bit of context that is perhaps relevant. As some of you know, there is a political conflict between the central government of Spain and the local, pro-independence Catalan government. El País, a newspaper published in Madrid, has quite explicitly taken the central government's side a few times. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if this bit of news was singled out for publication because it's about there being potential health and safety issues in the main city of Catalonia.

Show HN: X-File – The secure plain text format
X-File is a way to share text that can be read and also contain portions of that text which are kept as secret. In addition, the footer contains a cryptographic signature to verify that the content has not been tampered.

The main difference compared to a normal SHA1 signature is that the encryption used for the footer can randomly use one of the many encryption algorithms to store the secret data and thus make very difficult for brute forcing the key that unlocks the data.

The code and docs can be read at http://x-file.xyz/

Just let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
Same in Switzerland. It works like this - you can only submit trash for collection in authorized bags. Authorized bags can be purchased only in select shops. These bags are expensive and the larger the bag exponentially pricey they are.

Incentive to compact as much as you can in relatively smaller bags, and financial incentives are aligned.

In the countries I have lived, Switzerland was where I had to constantly conscious of trash accumulation and disposal.
Whoa. Downvotes ...

As if world power had something to do with technicalities, IT-systems, which currency to transact in.

Sorry guys. This is not how the world works.

The USD is dominant currency not because of the lack of alternatives.

The USD is the dominant currency because USA is the dominant military power by an order of magnitude.

As long as that is the case it means the EU can get only token independence. Ultimately if the US says no - you cannot deal with Iran. Then that is the way it is.

Does it mean that the EU is going to be nuclear bombed by the US? Of course not. It is much cheaper to go: One of your banks. It is not allowed to trade in USD anymore.

Won’t change my mind and will stick to Firefox after having switched because of this. First I don’t want to be logged in in my browser at all. Second, and probably more important, software is about trust. Even for an open source project, no one has the time to review millions of lines of code. So unfortunately one has to rely on what one believes is the behavior of the authors of the software. And what google did is to shatter that trust by sneaking that change discretely.

The union would prevent burnout by making a company hire 5 people to do those 5 jobs, instead of overworking 1 person.

Maybe this would cause the company to fail - but needing employees to work so much unpaid overtime is just another unrealized failure mode.

I've started listening to a lot of podcasts and audiobooks while riding my bike. Here's some of my favorites:

Storytelling: This American Life, Reply All, The Moth

Comedy: Comedy Bang Bang, Hollywood Handbook, John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme

Science / History: The Infinite Monkey Cage, Stuff You Should Know, Hardcore History, Behind the Bastards

Philosophy / Discussion: The Knowledge Project, Think Again

I've tried listening to a lot of other podcasts, but these are the ones I keep coming back to.

I'll also listen to The Tim Ferriss Show if there's an interesting guest. He had an awesome conversation with Drew Houston recently, and there were lots of interesting stories from the early days of Dropbox.

I also really enjoyed Caliphate, but it's a mini-series that's finished.
Media has a responsibility to present all facts impartially. But that does not mean that news media don't also have a responsibility to put those facts into context. Especially when it concerns the weak vs the strong (civilian victims vs violent government). That is what they are doing here. There is no encouragement to mete out revenge. It is juxtaposing the due process the alleged perpetrators will face with the lack of due process their victims suffered.

By the same token, if soldiers alleged of a war crime were found to have suffered from a miscarriage of justice, I'd expect the BBC to cover that side too—and I expect they would.

Switzerland uses the principle of "the polluter pays". It is now illegal for cities to charge flat rates for garbage, because simple economics shows us that consumption of things that are unmetered is much higher than things which are metered. In this case, the "consumption" being metered is in fact "production of trash", otherwise known as "consumption of the space in the landfill/incinerator". In my commune, a 35l sack costs 2 CHF.

This is probably the real reason for the blue government trash bags in Taipei: they are probably using the same trash metering policy Switzerland uses.

At the moment the official sacks were introduced, I did some back of the envelope calculations and found that the reduction in our combination "electric and flat garbage tax" bill as it turned into a simple "electric" bill paid for about 2 sacks a week. With paper, PET, glass and compost recycling, we could easily consume less than 2 bags a week as a family of 4. But without recycling, it would easily be 4 bags! The garbage authorities noticed a huge increase in recycling with the introduction of the official sacks.

When the official government sacks were introduced here, there was some grumbling that "if these fancy sacks cost so much per bag, you'd expect that they at least never break!" Too bad that the economic concept of externalities is not widely enough understood.

Families with children (or disabled people) in diapers unavoidably produce more trash than their neighbours. In order to not penalise them, they receive a few rolls of free trash bags per year.

Nice that he could get a picture of it. I saw something similar (vertical stretching) as a child, the family car was driving along a fjord when I noticed a boat with two giant men standing in it. Then as we drove further the image shifted and there was a tiny rowing boat out on the water, with two men sitting.

My great-grandfather once saw a semi-mythical island settlement on the horizon in the area where he used to fish (he was a fisherman). There are many stories about that place. My great-grandfather understood what he saw though -- it was a mirage of a real settlement, on an island much farther out. Too far out to see normally, but conditions can sometimes show a mirage of it. And that's where the mythical place and the stories came from.

Desert Island Discs
Actually I have tight connections to a computer museum and thought about the same idea (digitizing exhibits). However, just going from a 2D photo to a 3D photo of the surface sounds easy to me. What about really scanning the 3D volume? Dreaming a bit, I would love to have volumetric imaging methods from medicine (like CT or MRI/MRT images) for technical devices such as vintage computers. If these scanners had a good resolution (say sub millimeter) and allow us to distinguish the different materials, we could extract circuit diagrams from scans of old computers (thinking of the 1960s where a millimeter scale is fine, e.g.), probably even emulate the machines. In any case this would be way beyond scanning the 2D surface.

Anybody having knowledge of such imaging techniques? Is it possible to build such a machine with a reasonable budget? Clinical devices are at >1e6 EUR/USD, I rather thought about something at the order of 1e4 EUR/USD.
Two of them.

1) 1993: switching from computer programming to system administration in order to avoid the C++ onslaught (at the company I was working for). Managed to successfully avoid it since then (25 years). And now we have Rust: life is good.

2) 1999: going back to programming while excluding closed tech and focusing only on free and open tools. With all their faults, having complete visibility and control of the software stack has been a blessing. And now there's hope for hardware too. Life is good #2.
> That shape? Asteroids don't come in that shape. They just don't. We've got literally thousands of data points which say that doesn't happen.

We don't actually know its shape, we just have a light curve. Depending on its axis of rotation it could be between 10:1 and a far less remarkable 5:1. As to why the first one detected has a extreme shape, that's likely to be observational bias. Our ability to detect these objects is marginal. An elongated object has a higher ratio of surface area to volume, so is brighter for a given size. If Oumuamua was more circular we might not have picked it up.

> And the whole changing-trajectories business?

The possible trajectory change is evidence of a very low level of outgassing, which can't be directly detected.

Oumuamua is an interesting object, it's great that we've finally detected an interstellar object. It's not quite what we were expecting and we're not sure if it's an asteroid or a dead comet nucleus. We were expecting volatile comets to be more common but one idea is that it lost its volatiles when its parent star became a red giant, and was ejected at that point. When the LSST goes online hopefully we'll pick up a lot more and get a better idea of what the interstellar population looks like. But frankly, it probably isn't very remarkable, its spectrum is very similar to a D-type asteroid.

This article is contrasting SF's incrementalism with the holistic top-down overhaul of the trash collection system in Taipei. It's not saying Taipei's alleys imply SF should allow more scooters.

You have a legitimate grievance, but you are mischaracterizing what the article is about. It's not about scooters. It's an argument that incrementalism will only help you find the nearest local maximum, and that sometimes achieving a breakthrough in building a vibrant city requires centralized holistic policy changes.
