> Libraries are supposed to be whatever the fuck we want them to be.

No, libraries serve a specific purpose. You can want them to be banks, or restaurants, or laundromats or whatever, but that doesn't make them anything but libraries. And besides, everyone else wants libraries to be libraries, so you've been outvoted in that regard.
Only someone who didn’t understand Swiss gun culture would make that comparison.
Let's also not forget the pilot. They are supposed to read the manual so they can respond to a badly behaving auto pilot / guidance system. There is always a pilot override. I guess you can bundle that in to airline blame though (lack of training or bad org structure). But really, this is a new plane and Boeing probably don't have adequate software testing in place for the newly written / ported software.
Ukraine is not part of Europe as far as "Germany, France, etc" are concerned. These countries are concerned about the interests of the EU. Also, most of the EU has strong trade relationships with Russia (e.g. via Gazprom).

As long as Russia does not pose a direct threat to the EU, there's very little incentive to jeopardize trade relationships to uphold ideals in foreign countries.

Not necessarily. Lion Air could be responsible for the problems on earlier flights too (through poor pilot training or maintenance procedures).

How is that any different from European censorship?

Nazism is despicable, but censoring the Nazi voice is effectively the same as preventing citizens from having those "dissident thoughts" that contradict modern western government, and you actually can receive prison time for expressing Nazi sentiments in Germany so the government absolutely does "oppress them" for having those thoughts.

China views western influence the same way. In China's history, rule by the west has seen terrorism, imperialism, and corruption, which have lasted far longer (since the 1800s when the First Opium Wars were fought), and I would argue have led to greater suffering (certainly the numbers are in favor of this being the case).

Accepting government censorship in the EU is, in principle, no different from censorship in China. The only difference is the flavor.

For the record, I support neither.

What gives you the idea any military intervention is ever based on protecting a random country's sovereignty? What incentive would NATO or the EU have to join Ukraine if this escalates to a direct military confrontation between Ukraine and Russia?

Yeah, having Ukraine be annexed by Russia would be a pity but if history has taught us anything a) Russia is too clever to do this without some level of deniability (see the "secession" of the Crimean prior to its annexation) and b) other countries are reluctant to get involved as long as the situation is "self-contained" (i.e. as long as it's just Ukraine and similar post-Soviet states with no direct ties to NATO members or the EU).
> someone will figure out how to fractional reserve the stuff, the gain is too great. But do you have evidence that it did happen? what was the mechanism?

If the transaction is not on the blockchain or is not directly tied to a blockchain transaction (like with LN/payment channels), you MUST assume there's a fractional reserve going on, as you have no way of confirming otherwise.

If it is tied to the blockchain, it can't be a fractional reserve.

Hey, thanks for the long comment. I’ll probably end up with Logic as I’m using a Mac.
A ground station is going to involve some RF equipment first: an LNA to boost the received signal then that feeds into a down convertor to bring it to 1200MHz typically. The 1200MHz signal goes into a modem which can either be something very specific (think satellite TV set top box) or something very capable (think big server with a custom ADC capture card in the back). The modem will do some forward error correction. FEC can involve a mix of Reed-Soloman, Viterbi, and LDPC. The bits can now be sent out over a network connection. Uplink involves basically the reverse process except there is usually no FEC since you can always boost your ground antenna to be much more powerful than the one in space. An exception to that would be uplink signals meant to be relayed to the ground. More of those "bent pipe" satellites are becoming digital which allows them to process signals and make them smarter about channel utilization.

All of this equipment can usually fit within a rack or two. The downlink stuff can fit within a few U. Uplink involves some big power amplifiers. Back in the 60s it would have involved dozens of racks of equipment.

> College students spend years learning arcana and quaint academic theories

When I read things like this the writer often means he doesn't think degree candidates need to learn the fundamentals and foundation of computer science but be thrown into writing code in PHP just so the student can be thrown into a company and get a product out the door as fast as possible and not as smart as possible.

But this is not the purpose of a degree in computer science. No one knows what position a student may obtain and some, at least, will go into research and some will need to know those arcana and quaint academic theories or will work for a company which will create unique products and services which we call innovation.

Except sometimes you want or require a physical book... not all books on the internet are available freely, legally. Also, libraries offer free access to the internet, computers, printers, etc, which (believe it or not) not everyone can afford.

If it were true that the purpose of public libraries had been superseded by the internet then no one would be using public libraries, and they would all have closed by now due to lack of funding or public interest. That public libraries continue to exist, and that people continue to use them, suggests otherwise.

The main problem we experience is a complete lack of quiet places, and since you don't want any, and that seems to be a majority opinion, we won't have any.

That's true, assuming you want a relatively small subset of all books. Once you want something recent, or obscure, or a current textbook, you usually can't find it for anywhere near that amount, if you can find it for sale at all.

It's easier to understand by considering finite horizon problems. With finite horizon problem, the target value for the last time-step will exactly be the expected received reward. So your network learn to approximate it and use this approximation for computing the approximation at last time-step - 1. So you construct the value from the end (in a "dynamic programming" kind of way).

But the bellman equation works just the same with infinite horizon problem. The weights converges all simultaneously to make the network approximation solve the equation.

But there are many rewards to wrapping these products up. MS did well with their little tabbed UIs and checkboxes. It felt more like a mixing desk, easier than say discovering and typing command line options.

I don't think people have a 'this should be hard to use mentality'. I've been with programmers and designers who have had not one idea about designing the interface. They are fine cloning, but not at innovating. And frequently the UI is just born out of cluelessness. Or with websites, the design constraints sometimes override the ergonomics, or even kill code orthognalness.
Ask HN: How could I simulate the TCP/IP Illustrated test network?
I just recently bought TCP/IP Illustrated volume 1 first edition for cheap -- as a /starting point/ to try to freshen up my basic knowledge of networking fundamentals since the book gets good reviews here -- and I see that they reference a test network throughout the book that looks like the following

https://imgur.com/5rpJQKV

Now I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but some of these operating systems seem to be quite dated, and I'm unsure if I can even find them to use in virtualbox. Additionally, I've no clue what a Telebit NetBlazer is or what would represent a modem if I attempt to setup a virtual environment to emulate this network.

So my question is, what would be the easiest way for me to come as close as possible to emulating this test network that the book references so that I can get the most out of the material?

No, you need certification to be able to fly eact plane type, which equal to 6 months retraining. For this incident Boeing "forgot" to tell companies do not do what you usually do, as it doing what you do actually worsen the situation. Boeing released emergency notice after that incident, and data from black box showed that the pilot is doing precisely what they are used to do.

Plane it self is legal to fly at that time.

I don't remember any of the kids running wild in the libraries visiting them as adults.

We who didn't have a problem being quiet and going there to either read quietly or to bring books home, going there for the books, seem to be much more likely to actually visit as adults. Is there any evidence to suggest people who use libraries as playgrounds are more likely to use them as adults? Because if there isn't we are removing one of extremely few quiet places for no gain. I remember going to the library or staying after school to be able to read my Asimov and Douglas Adams, which would have been hard at home. If people who have quiet homes came there to let their children off to play I would be less likely to go there, just like I'm less likely to go there now when that is happening.
When I was much younger I thought the Greens were onto something and that they were the future. Then they started campaigning against vaccines and spreading lies about same in the media.

Simple, if you need the extra safety you pay for the service of an intermediary, like PayPal or eBay or (in cryptoland) Purse.io.

If you don't need the extra safety, you don't.

Escrows can be even better with Bitcoin because of multi-signature transactions, the escrow can hold the payment without holding your money, so all they can do is approve the payment or not, they can't change the destination.

Rolling back the blockchain is like going to the government to reverse your $50 transaction, it doesn't make sense.
Your dichotomy is false; the “civilized world” to which you presumably refer does not eschew guns for self-defense. Instead, it simply restricts that right of self-defense to those professionally affiliated with the government: police and military.

The debate is never “guns or no guns”. The government and its agents always have guns, even in places like Japan. The debate is whether or not the unwashed masses also are permitted the right to defend themselves alongside (and sometimes against) the agents of the state.

History shows us quite plainly the dangerous issues with the circumstance where only the state is armed and civilians are not, from the holocaust all the way down to the 2004 Republican National Convention in NYC.
"What time is love" seems related, by the KLF in 1988. It sounds to me like the 303 might feature there as well.

This sort of techno-poetry track from Anne Clark in 1984, "Our Darkness" seems related to "What time is love". Although its surely not trance.

Circumcision also has no factual support, unless you consider reduced sexual function a health benefit. I mostly see it pushed by radical Christian organisations (because it "stops masturbation"), traditionalist Jewish and Muslim organisations (because it's "tradition") and radical "feminists" who are more interested in hating men than actually helping women.

And even if we accept that there might be some fringe benefit later on in life, it definitely shouldn't be done to babies who can't give consent for the procedure.
