The resume problem is the inverse, isn't it? The studies I've seen where resumes were having names removed before being sent to recruiters showed a slight bias against white men which is why these schemes always get shut down - increasing fairness decreases (slightly) diversity.

You seem to have no clue how small Germany is. So no. It's not because we don't know how to get rid of it. We have neither the space nor the geological properties that makes this easy.

Also this disposal site is still in construction and a research group in 2012 already has cast doubt on the corrosion proofness. Nothing has been proven yet. This is not an easy problem.
Sadly they will find a group of engineers to do this and more. Even if they break the tech into innocent looking parts and then unite it into e finished nightmare products.

I really wait until one of this disaster is ripe to happen. Diablo, Palo Verde or South Texas to blow up one day, and we can finally bury those discussions then. Hurricane Harvey almost blew up South Texas, but nobody noticed or cared.

Those new designs have a double incident rate, they are not better, but much higher risk and more trouble. South Texas and Palo Verde are experimental versions of these 3rd gen reactors, and they are amongst the most risky in the world. Esp. Palo Verde with no cooling water, Diablo at the heart of ring of fire, and South Texas with the danger of polluted cooling water besides the troubling technical problems they have all the time. Once they blow up they'll carry the cloud all over the midwest, right to New York and then this business opportunity will be finally over.

The nuclear lobby only needs it to produce nuclear weapons nobody needs.

Nobody knows how to store the nuclear waste. This problem is still not solved after decades of false promises.

Ask HN: How did you change your HDD on macbook pro mid-2012?
Hi there,

I've a Macbook pro mid-2012 that is still working fine.
I'd like to change my HDD by for a new SSD (1To or 500Go) before the old HDD crashs, as the lifetime for a HDD is like 4 or 5 years.

Have you already done that and how did you do ? I'd like to do it the easiest way if possible :D
Which SSD did you choose ?

Thx !

I'm in the same boat, as I'm sure a few are...we want to get rid of Skype and Jitsi seems to be the best way, but most people don't care too much for video conferencing. Jitsi Meet has waaaay too much overhead if voice to voice groups is all that's needed, especially if you want to self-host.

Is it feasible that the old Jitsi gets a rebirth? It'd be popular, I'm sure.

I have. It was a joy to use; fast, cohesive but familiar due to partial POSIX compatibility, inspiration from other operating systems and a GNU command-line environment, with object-oriented design and unique concepts. One of which is its package manager, which installs into a filesystem image that is mounted read-only to ensure the files are incorruptible.
How is ASP.NET core these days? How is it compared to node js? Is it worth using it?
Political diversity would come naturally if a company really is trying to get a diversity of backgrounds and experiences because those different experiences are the cause of political differences to begin with. In fact "political diversity" and "diversity of thought" are simply two ways to phrase the same idea.

The problem with trying to actually do it is that in recent times, one camp in particular tends to label the other as "Nazis" who must be crushed out of existence the moment they're spotted, although there are essentially no actual Nazis in the world today. In other words the side that preaches tolerance and diversity the most can't actually handle it and immediately tries to get rid of it by using the most overblown pastiches imaginable.
Javascript actually uses floats to describe integers, so with very large integers, you actually lose precision.

This does 2 things. It allows for arbitrary size integers (whereas before, javascript had integers up to FLOAT.MAX), and it represents all these integers with perfect precison.
Note: somewhere around the second paragraph I realised this is very indirectly relevant, if at all.

I think poor working conditions in the Asian textile industry is a relevant analogy.

A textile factory collapses due to inexcusabe management decisions or incompetence. The management pulled the trigger, so to speak. However, it's the abusive dynamic of the free-market that incentivised management to cut costs to sustain the business. If they had not met the price offered by the big brands, the contract would go to someone else, i.e. there's an abundance of low-cost supply.

In the Asian textile market, the manufacturers, working at thin margins, are incentivised to cut costs to unreasonable levels, because they'd lose business. The local regulators are incentivised to not regulate, because the demand would move to another jurisdiction.

My point is that sometimes, there's two sides to the guilty coin. There's the isolated incident and the general atmosphere that breeds those incidents.

I can not relate this to the topic of Asian airlines, but you might find this interesting nonetheless.
> Court ruled that no one is allowed to speak against Mohamed

No they didn't. They said you're not allowed to incite religious hatred by focussing attention on one particular religious figure from one particular time when the practice was common.

If that commentator is interested in paedophilia she will have made comments about the practice of child marriage among Christians -- something still happening in the US today. She did not mention any other region because she's not interested in attacking paedophilia, she's interested in attacking Muslims.
Tip of the iceberg.

Carriers see communication services as their turf, and they go to byzantine lengths to protect that.

Politically it can get funny.

If you work at a handset manufacturer, and sit in on sales calls, and one of your team members brings up anything remotely related to this or VOIP, you might see the carrier buyers get visibly upset and literally walk out of the room.

I could never tell if they were 'actually' upset, or 'pretend professionally' upset.

But it's funny the games that are played.

We are replacing out homegrown PHP ERP system with ASP.NET Core MVC since Version 1.0.

It is a blast to work with LINQ and Lambdas and I really miss it in other languages. EF Core also matures quickly and we sucesssfully connected it to mysql and sql server.
So far there hasn't been a problem we couldn't solve in .Net Core.

For a small side project I used .Net Core Razor Pages very productively. Only needed the SDK and visual studio code. Planning on moving more small stuff away from python to .net core based on that.

Really looking forward to Version 3.0 and Kestrel replacing IIS for good.
Nope. Nope nope nope. It can, very theoretically, do each of those things, but it can't switch those modes, must not take off automatically (there's no safe way to do this, and therefore would be very illegal), and requires vigilance that's above manual w/r/t landing.

I think that morality, love and justice emerge from human nature. I think that I, my self and my consciousness are emergent properties and I'm fine with that. I think that the purpose of human life is chosen for us by the rules of biology, natural selection, game theory and a host of other factors that, seemingly miraculously, lead me to the conclusion that the philosophical Good Life is desirable and largely attainable.
Then what's the point of a centralized human rights court? "Well member states can decide whom to murder." Or maybe I just think that freedom of speech is a human right while EHRC does not.
Thanks. Would it be reasonable for me to assume that you have a religious belief? I ask because your explanation seems like the kind of reasoning I would have used before I came to believe that no spiritual afterlife was plausible, and that all religions which claimed one were equally untrue (Boltzmann brains and digital afterlives are not spiritual in this sense, as they do not presume a nonphysical soul).
Reads like an overenthusiastic sales piece posted here by the author to sell their own product.
That's a very good point. Even when one generates optimal code, the CPU will run all sorts of computations that do not contribute to reach the right result, but only to get there more quickly.

A lot of the low-power ARM processors do that - just avoiding speculative execution like you pointed out is a huge win if power is your main concern.

Another interesting take are barrel processors that can avoid scheduling stalled contexts, but they are only effective when we can feed them enough threads the time it spends waiting is less than a "normal" processor would. Early Xeon Phi's (and Cell's PPUs) behaved like barrel processors - each core could dispatch 4 (2 on the PPY) threads, but it did so round-robin. Scheduling only one thread per core didn't make them run any faster.

From the article:
"The amount of energy consumed by an average person in China (averaged over the year) has jumped by a quarter since 2006, to three kilowatts (kW) ... it’s still less than a third as much as the American average, which at 9.2 kW is equivalent to nine toasters, running 24/7."

According to eia.gov[1], average residential electricity usage was 10,399 kWh per year in 2017. That's about 28.4 kWh per day, or an averaged power draw of 1.18 kW. And that's per residential utility customer, not per person!

So the 9.2 kW claim seems extremely high. Is there really another 8 kW being used by business and industry? Or does the author not understand the difference between power (kW) and energy (kWh)?

It used to be quite common everywhere. The idea that you should immediately give up after a single "no" is very modern even in the west, and by no means is it an idea all women are on board with.

For example. George Clooney had to ask his wife out three times before she said yes. I believe Melinda Gates said no to Bill Gates the first time he asked her out (and of course, he was her boss). In Russian culture it's common for women to say no to a man even if she likes him, because making him work for it is thought to increase the eventual strength of the relationship (you don't value what you get for free, essentially). In fact a friend of mine is married to a Russian woman and she's said in the past she said yes to him too easily and regretted not rejecting him before - but he's told her, if she'd done that, he'd have immediately given up because he was quite burned out on dating at the time. So she sort of accepts it but has small regrets.

Just search on Google and you can find many examples of cases where men asked women out several times and are now married.

Never mix up feminists with women, they aren't the same. I've met plenty of women who wish men would chase them, but it's too risky for men to do that these days.
This seems complicated. You can download a copy of of Windows 10 in ISO format via this link:

Then just install it into a new VM in VirtualBox. It won't activate, and it will nag you about this, but it will still stay fully usable, you just wont be able to change small things like the colour scheme. Which is perfectly fine if it's a crash-and-burn VM for testing.

Obviously your ISP is not going to advertise ALL social apps, that would be a huge list. As an example take this:

https://www.vodafone.es/c/particulares/es/productos-y-servic...

"use all your social network apps without using up your data allowance", and then they show you a list of apps, but all social apps should be zero-rated and if they are not you can report it. Same with video apps, music apps, etc.

If you think this is so bad, then ask consumers if they like it or not. People here seem to put their principles before what consumers actually want or not. The job of the market is to serve consumers. Paying 3€ a month to have unlimited data on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp is a sweet deal for 99% of consumers here I'm sure.

It's probably less secure by default. Make sure to reject all HTTP requests where the Origin header doesn't match the local server host, or just all request with an Origin header.
Solid article, but essentially nothing new. For me it boils down to:

1) Have a product the market needs (even if they don't know they need it yet.) Yes. Easier said than done. The point is marketing mumbo-jumbo won't make a Me Too product unique.

2) Explain __crisply & clearly__ why I need it. Focus on benefits more than features. In short: Why should I care?

3) Make finding a complete features list easy. If I'm interested (i.e., I think I will benefit) I'll want to see in detail all you can do for me.

4) Making finding a product comparison (e.g., free v paid) easy.

5) Making finding an FAQ is easy, and make sure that FAQ is an FAQ and not more marking spin.

6) Make finding pricing easy.

7) Maintain a semi-active Twitter accnt. If that looks left for dead then I'm going to presume you're soon to fade as well. I can't commit to and invest my time in a solutions that'll soon be MIA.

8) A free trial is NOT a proxy for any of the above. My time is valuable, so free is not really free. If you can't clearly communicate your brand / product to me then I'm going to presume you don't know, or are too lazy. In any case, it's a red flag. I'm leaving.

9) Speaking of leaving: conversions are a false god. What's more important is churn / retention. High conversions aren't good if there's also a lot of churn. You want to build relationships, not one night stands.

10) If you think you're special and that any of the above doesn't apply to you. Think again.

There are two 8-port ethernet switches.

With 12 nodes, this leaves 4 unused port (2 in each switch).

From the pictures you can see that the box itself has two jacks, both of which are likely connected to one switch each.

The switches don't seem to support link aggregation, so likely to look like this:

switch1
├── external
├── nano-pi1
├── nano-pi2
├── nano-pi3
├── nano-pi4
├── nano-pi5
└── nano-pi6
switch2
├── external
├── nano-pi7
├── nano-pi8
├── nano-pi9
├── nano-pi10
├── nano-pi11
└── nano-pi12

and if you connect both the switches to the same external switch, you'd get something like:

switch1
┌┼── switch2
│├── nano-pi1
│├── nano-pi2
│├── nano-pi3
│├── nano-pi4
│├── nano-pi5

It sounds like a trim runaway incident. This has been a known issue since the earliest days of electronic trim controls.

For those who don't know, trim is the system by which the neutral position of an aircraft's controls is set. In this case in pitch. An aircraft will fly at more or less a fixed speed for a given trim setting, slowing down will cause it to pitch down unless a correcting force is applied to the controls, and speeding up will cause it to pitch up. The problem is that in a severe out of trim condition it can take tens of kilograms of force to maintain the desired pitch.

Trim runaway is when the trim motor for whatever reason doesn't stop moving, in the simplest systems this is sometimes caused by faulty switches. Most aircraft actually have a switch which is split down the middle but is naturally pressed as if it were one. This requires two of the switches to fail to get this situation. There are usually trim in motion indicators and alarms if it's in motion for too long which are intended to help pilots avoid this situation.

I suspect the computer drove the trim heavily nose down, as a result of the envelop protection trying to avoid a stall. The pilots probably tried to intervene or the autopilot handed them the aircraft back knowing something wasn't right. At that point the trim was mis-set enough that they failed to recover correctly.

Mostly conjecture but it fits what I've read.
Siddhartha is an amazing story, at least for me. So much wisdom if it comes at the right time in your life.

“His goal attracts him, because he doesn’t let anything enter his soul which might oppose the goal. This is what Siddhartha has learned among the Samanas. This is what fools call magic and of which they think it would be effected by means of the daemons. Nothing is effected by daemons, there are no daemons. Everyone can perform magic, everyone can reach his goals, if he is able to think, if he is able to wait, if he is able to fast.”
"Yet the UK, not exactly blessed with excess sun, has already reached a point of generating more by renewables than fossil."

Natural Gas is still the biggest source of electricity generation in the UK, by some margin. But it is declining, slowly.

By the early 2020s, it's likely that wind turbines will have overtaken nuclear as the #2 source.

Freedom of Expression is a human right, but the Convention on Human Rights explicitly argues for restrictions of free speech in this section, and the court allowed countries to follow that. The countries are the ones that decided on that Convention, despite criticism of that specific part of it. The court works in the framework provided to it by the Convention, which is fairly clear on murder, less so on free speech. IMHO it would have been good to strengthen that somewhere in the 65 years since, but the countries haven't done so - and given the geographic reach of the convention, it seems unlikely to happen. Could maybe be done on an EU-level, or in a new sub-treaty.

IMHO no need to go from "this treaty isn't as absolute on free speech as I'd like" to "what's the point of any of it then?".
