If I recall the fusion meme correctly, it is perpetually 10 years from now... Assuming it gets properly funded. Though I also believe that fission research and plants still have their place, especially if you care about carbon emissions.
I didn't say an alternative that is like Facebook.

People want to communicate with others. If they use software for that then.... my original question applies.

And you've avoided answering that question.

Not necessarily in all conversations. The quality of the collateral asset is subject to lots of things.

If you look at what happened during the Great Depression, assets were effectively worthless — demand vaporized and seemingly safe loans secured by valuable factories became junk.

Yeah it seems like RCE in the context of Chromium, but not SQLite? I know it’s pedantic but if this is RCE in SQLite because it’s exposed to the network via other software, every vulnerability is “remote” because you may expose it via other software.
You guys must exist in some alternative universe. In mechanical engineering, no access to journals is definitely a top 5 problem, not top 50.

How do you guys do goose chase research if only one out of five paper titles that catch your interest are immediately available. Inter library loan is bullshit that takes at least one full day to appear. What do you do until then?
Existing fusion bombs need a fission bomb for ignition. This lower-bounds both the bang and the unpleasant byproducts. A smaller bang can be used much more practically. For example, 20th-century cars were also powered by explosions. Somehow they outcompeted the previous dominant technology of continuous reactors, steam engines.

To dismiss my half-assed idea by pointing to another, I'd bring up something more comparable, like inertial-confinement fusion.
You only need snows when driving on day of storm. Unless you are doing a destination trip. that is avoidable. Any SUV or reasonable sized car does not require a roof rack to fit a couple of boards plus boots and bindings.

Pick smaller mountains for day trips or buy your pass when first on sale to a mountain that does not make snow. As just one example, an early pass to Homewood was $509.

I have sold equipment still in good working order for next to nothing. Probably the only thing you'll need to spend any coin on is boots that fit. Helmets can be had 50% (or more) off during the offseason.
OMG how can they do this killing babies!!!

What's that? There was an article?
I bought what seemed to be overstock or maybe it was just being remaindered in a 50%-off Uni Bookshop sale about 20 years ago. It's a tiny (80 page) little book called "Managing Projects with make" by Steve Talbot and printed by O'Reilly and Associates.

Most of what I know about 'make' I learned from this book.
I dont think adding a couple unobtrusive ads would impact saving people time or money.

There’s still 2 unresolved problems (at least) here:

1. running a ping test is a fine start but wouldn’t a more realistic test be to rerun the benchmark?
2. in a multi-az setup you’re going to have to pay for inter-az transfer costs between ec2 nodes. data transfer between ec2 and dynamodb is free.

Also on the pricing front reserved capacity really drops your costs with dynamodb if you know you’re going to be with it for some term of time. Not that that needed to be included in the benchmark but... aws pricing is complicated, to say the least.
There’s 25x more people, and increased specialization required to do almost all essential things.

That sounds like a beg-the-question dismissal.

Why must the body adhere to a reductionist calories-in/calories-out model as if it’s a simple furnace, when it’s clearly vastly different from a furnace?

Why the need to ignore the involvement of neurotransmitters, hormones, enzymes, organ function, emotions, microbiotas, inflammation, and countless other inter-related components and processes that would easily explain why metabolism differs so much from one person to another, as distinct from furnaces that all combust in the same way?

I mean, sure, calories-in/calories-out is ultimately right when you reduce everything down, but why the need to wave away the influence of the above factors on the flow of calories in and calories out?

A Letter From Our Founders
Universities long ago outsourced faculty evaluations based on the impact of their research measured by conference/journal impact. The system is heavily flawed, but the inability of an expert in A to judge an expert in B is a very real problem, so they just look at their academic impact instead, which is determined mostly by journal acceptance via peer review.
"...the fact that is triggered and constantly maintained by gravitational collapse."

What you have written is not a fact. Forces only do work when they act through a distance. Gravitational potential energy only comes into play during the ignition of a star. After equilibrium is reached, to the extent that the star's diameter is "static" potential energy calculations no longer come into play. No "potential energy" is being "converted" into fusion energy. It's just not a thing.

"...stars are in constant balance between gravitational collapse and their outward pressure caused by fusion."

Because of this balance, no work is being done by gravity. That is, no energy is being released by the force of gravity moving a mass through a distance.

"All I want to know is if we have a proven net positive model for this reaction because so far I haven’t been able to find one."

It's literally E = mc^2, but it's not "net positive." It's net zero. Matter is converted into energy. That's it.

"So no I don’t ignore the role of gunpowder in a gun,..."

It's an analogy, and it's straightforward enough that the onus is on you to work out the pieces a little better than you have. HINT: The "energy needed to create the gunpowder..." is the binding energy in the various nuclei.

The best thing we could do is give supreme court term limits, this would make it less of a game of roulette, and more of a fairness factor... Maybe have 9 supreme court justices. A president may pick 2 on the start of his first term. The 5 longest serving rotate out. The Speaker of the house and Senate Majority leader sworn in after the presidential election each get to nominate 1 justice. The last seat is nominated and filled internally by those on the supreme court, but must be approved by congress as does the president's choices.

So for instance say there's 9 justices in 2020.
9 - 5(retiring) = 4
4 + 5(new) = 9

Justices may serve multiple terms, and a president could 're-nominate' a sitting judge, but this makes the system more fluid, and less controlled by a single party in power unless they control both chambers, the white house, and supreme court already.

Lots of great comments here about snowboarding so I figured I'd provide my two cents. I tried skiing a couple of times and ended up just not having much fun. Eventually decided to try out snowboarding. It felt like I had gotten hit by a car the next day.

But there was something about it that seemed promising, so I stuck with it. The initial learning curve is really steep. I was a far better skier after far less effort at the same point than snowboarding. But after keeping at it a few times I finally got parts of it to "click". I'm still terrible, but I rarely fall now and can generally make it down most blue slopes without too much fuss, something I really struggled with on skis.

It works far more of your core muscles and your quads and hamstrings that skiing does, so it takes some time to figure out how to control all that with the precision.

The key for me was to really understand that the board itself wasn't something I rode on top of, but instead of was a living vessel I was part of, and that I could twist, rotate and otherwise manipulate using movements in my legs, subtle shifts in center of balance and core muscles. Once that started to make sense it became much easier and I found it far easier and more rewarding that skiing for me.

Skiing is many moving parts you have to coordinate, snowboarding is one moving part with many subtle means of expression. It's a bit like the difference between playing a drumkit and playing a violin if that makes sense for any musicians.

2 - unless you plan to become a park rat I would suggest riding 15/0 or 20/5

3 - its not that they can't get enough speed on a green slope, it is that they panic. It is very difficult for most people to grasp that turning is actuall easier at (reasonable) speed. Even on greens it is pretty easy to push 40+ mph.
When congress changed the penalty for not having insurance from N > $0 to $0, they invalidated Roberts' opinion that the ACA was constitutional because its penalty could be passed off as a tax.

What Trump is claiming is that they made the ACA unconstitutional by eliminating the penalty, and hence it is no longer constitutional. I'm not sure why the ACA would be struck down as opposed to the tax cut bill that made it unconstitutional, but IANAL.

When ever going to an unfamiliar mountain or doing the first run of the season(or after an equipment change) it is a good idea to just hit a green and then move on.
> Most consumers do have a choice. "Reasonable" is a pretty squishy word often used to kill discussion.

Fine. Let's define 5 options as the bare minimum to inspire healthy competition. Now we can decisively say that they don't have that many options, with no squishy words.
Your opinion is extremely arrogant, perhaps even more so than it is misinformed. The reasons for why you see a dearth of technical skilled labor entering the government workforce is a complex issue and is nowhere that black and white.

Since you mention military weaponry specifically though, the primary problem is in many academics/researchers being adverse to contributing to military projects. But can you really blame them? For many, they have spent the better part of their lives in cultivating their respective fields, and you expect them to be perfectly happy spending that on making it easier to kill people? People want to meaningfully contribute to making the world a better place, and I guarantee you'll find it very difficult to convince that computer scientist building a drone with better targeting capabilities for it's missiles to better kill people will result in fulfilling such a goal, no matter how you try to phrase it.
Not sure the post author fully understands the implications of what he has written. "Open source is thriving" might be true, but has almost nothing to do with ownership or ownershipless.

Plus, it's a future where few people own most things, and most people rent and pay even when paying a rent doesn't make sense.

While that may seem like a good idea in principle, that politicizes the Supreme Court even more.
My my area, which had median home prices most years, houses were 40-60% less expensive in real terms.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there far fewer homes and people made a lot less money.
Actually, it's more complicated than that. "Solidarność" was a big organization, with different factions. The some of the members, like Andrzej Gwiazda, Anna Walentynowicz, Kornel Morawiecki, were more right-leaning, patriotic, fighting for independence. And then there were people like Adam Michnik, Jacek Kuroń, Bronisław Geremek, who actually were communists by heart, in fact more dedicated to communist ideals than the ruling PZPR party.

Stellar fusion isn't really clean in the way you imagine; there are lots of reactions in the star core that produce free neutrons, they just get reabsorbed by something else because they can't realistically exit the system like they can in a tiny reactor.

Nor is it realistically achievable, anyway. Fusing products out of bare protons just isn't productive enough at achievable temperatures.
In that sense, soon USB kernel stacks have remote code execution vulnerabilities because browsers added dumb APIs.

Should we fix bugs? Yes. Should we scream at people that expose raw APIs they don't understand far beyond their design constraints? Yes yes yes.

Why-Not depends on which side you fall into. There are two sides: People with Debt and People collecting Payments.

People-Paying would love to start from zero.

People-Collecting would not want that.

If you think about it as two groups (theoretically): one group receives monthly, recurring payments from the other group.

In practice, individuals move from one group to another group and back, etc. based on life circumstances.

But here is a catch: Due to a bug or design, if an individual (or few individuals or families) could always stay in the receiving-group, he can live for free till end of time (or system halts/collapses.)

What will blow your mind is, are there such individuals or families in the system by design?
I don't ride the fruit boots but do respect the serious lines you guys lay down! Are you on Prior? Donek? Something else? I've been riding Sean's stuff for many years, closet you'll get on a board using soft boots to the hard boot world.
Hahahaha! >_<
Changed from "Arbitrary code execution vulnerability discovered in pdflatex", thanks.
Not a fan of riding with headphones for one main reason. You won't hear other people yelling for help. This is especially important when you ski off piste at west coast resorts. I never want to accidentally miss something yelling for help or blowing their whistle in a tree well. If you're an east cost skier, this is probably less important.

Also, it's infrequent, but I have avoided a few collisions because people yelled out at me when I was popping out of the trees onto a piste.
>Because of this balance, no work is being done by gravity. That is, no energy is being released by the force of gravity moving a mass through a distance.

I didn’t say it extracts energy from gravity, gravity is constant and it is what keeps the reaction going.

This balance is dynamic equilibrium, gravity continues to counter the gas and radiation pressure of the star’s fusion reaction if you remove gravity from the equation fusion stops because the pressure would cause it to expand until the reaction stops.

If the reaction slows down then the collapse continues until fusion of heavier elements can happen, degenerate pressure can counter it or if neither of those happen you get a black hole.

>It's literally E = mc^2, but it's not "net positive." It's net zero. Matter is converted into energy. That's it.

I didn’t ask you how much energy any given unit of mass has, I asked you for a net positive model for a fusion reaction.

We need to invest energy to make fusion happen then we need to invest more energy to keep the reaction going.

So again I understand where the “excess” energy comes form when two protons fuse into a neutron, however proton fusion isn’t spontaneous and it requires you to expand energy to bring them close enough so they could fuse.

Now in say hydrogen plasma you need to overcome a lot of forces to do that, and more so when the reaction starts since the energy release wants to expand the plasma outwards what I want is to see a net positive model for this reaction.

So far I only hear crickets.
A Christmas classic: Cloudera founder asks staff to stay another day
Interesting. I snowboarded for 18 years before switching full time to skiing last year, and I've reversely similar experience to yours in loving the nuance and subtly of the new skill. I wonder if there's something about combining a base fitness and aptitude with a beginner's mind.

I love the symmetry to skiing, and the experience of begin square to the fall line.
I think criminalizing commercial data leaks is a more workable idea.
Something I'm clueless about, but why aren't jurors allowed to know prior convictions? That seems like highly relevant information. If a person has robbed ten banks before why not tell the jury in the trial for the eleventh?

Sure if a person had a multitude of driving convictions in a child abuse case I can understand the court denying it as irrelevant, but that isn't what's happening here.

In the case of my company specifically, I'm tempted to say the system is working as intended. A lot of the workflows are deliberately complex and obfuscated, though, so users are trying to enter $2000 but the system will always generate $4000 unless you know exactly which buttons to press.

Who's to blame for this? The CEO and CTO I would say. They want to generate as many inflated bills as possible and then make it really hard for the customer service rep to submit an approval for it to be adjusted.

They train the reps to say, "sorry sir, this is what my computer is telling me your balance is."

The customer then either pays or leaves the company, at which point they are charged an early terminaton fee and threatened with small claims court.

So yeah, I really feel this corporation directly desires a complex and costly process since it has a near monopoly on the market and the cheaper competitors are plagued with product quality issues as opposed to service/billing issues.
Can you cite a source for that assertion? I can't find one.

It's not that the software is built explicitly to overcharge people. But it is written and launched into production in a buggy state. And the bugs that cost the company money get fixed. The ones that cost the customers are... not prioritized. The overcharging becomes an emergent property.
On the other hand, Mastodon doesn't have this drive. Facebook, Twitter et al are designed to be addictive because higher engagement translates to higher ad revenue. But Mastodon is ad free and the cost of operating the service is defrayed over thousands of inexpensive, federated instances, so there's less pressure to generate revenue of any kind.

Unfortunately Mastodon chose to clone Twitter's design and the Tweetdeck UI, so the tendency toward short-form, low information comments is carried over from Twitter. I too believe that these design patterns encourage toxic behavior. A simple experiment for any short-form social platform would be to lift any post character limit, make longer posts more readable, and prioritize longer comments in the ranking algorithm, and see what influence that has on the toxicity of the overall experience.

I mean if ten thousand people have responded to something, I would really rather read a few responses where someone made the effort to type out a few hundred words and what they wrote became popular. This doesn't guarantee it will be sane, cogent, etc. but it's better than staring at a wall of one line haters and trolls, which Twitter harassment victims always reference as one of the most traumatic parts of the experience.
Woah! I would love to get this testimonial in our production users doc!

Until recently, fonts were something that either came from the vendor, or which installed like software. So they weren't considered to be an exploitation vector, any more than installing any software is an vulnerability. It's only in the last several years with loadable web fonts that the font rendering code has needed armoring against malicious font files.
Sci-hub. You use sci-hub. That's what I've been doing for years; I'm not affiliated with an institution so I can't afford subscriptions, and I need the articles so I can treat my illness.

When the system's broken beyond repair and the stakes are high, there's no point playing by the rules. That's why sci-hub was founded in the first place.
Long term bonds are just above 3% now.
First, too many boarders do not wax their boards frequently enough, if at all. It is really easy to do and unless the snow is super sticky spring stuff you can fly by skiiers on flats and traverses (or course, know how to hold and edge before doing that and don't pass without being sure you have room). Catwalks, speed just not a good idea.

You really need to get out there and learn to do moguls. It will improve your boarding considerably. Start with a lesson or two and target days you know the bumps aren't ice boulders. Technique varies but common is always keep moving (you'll learn to hate the skiers who stop every four turns in front of you).
Debt can increase forever.
What can't increase forever is the percentage of income going to interest on debt.

I know my phone won’t follow me magically out the door, I take it with me 99% of the time. I still leave it at home sometimes.

Of course here the “chain my phone to my pants “ solution exists, in the form of linting rules preventing usage of unsafe APIs, and having a safer API that enforces checks (for example a strcat variant that requires reporting the destination container size). Or using checked string libraries instead of raw char*. Not 100% foolproof but could help things.

The biggest difficulty is C’s abstraction ceiling being so low. Hard to do stuff like this without making code much bigger than it already is
