Ask HN: Is 5G Dangerous for Humans?
My Facebook wall is floated with non-technical people posting articles about the danger of 5G to humans. The mainstream tech press rarely addresses the topic. The same goes for HN. If the subject comes up, most comments seem to agree that it is not dangerous, yet many outside the tech worlds seems to agree on that is.
That was some time ago now, but I remember it. Specifically because I wrote some scripts to just continuously ask for garbage domains, thousands per day.
I don't know how it is in the U.S. but in Japan you're often given the option to cremate cherished objects with the deceased, things that the person in question loved. Relatives bring all kinds of stuff, from clothes to photographs, and anything in between.

In one occasion I was witness myself of a family wanting to cremate a whole school uniform with a dead child, and they where told that was excessive, but in the end just the jacket was allowed, metal buttons and all.

Most places will not check contents of a small box, bag or container with the additional material to cremate, out of privacy and respect.

Who knows what kind of stuff is thrown in there, in what amounts, and with what consequences, if any.

Yes it's a bit more expensive but the trains themselves are way more confortable, most of the time on schedule and drive at full operational speed all the time because they rails are made for it. With TGV on the other hand you have a few sections which are standard rails and thus you the train drive at a normal (low) speed...
My article shows that heating without electricity is cheaper and more efficient than heating with electricity. It also has references to back up these claims. What you write is simply untrue.

> Objects, geographic features, even animals, don't have rights of their own.

That, or the converse argument that there can be anything that has rights of its own, is here presented as an axiom that requires no further proof. However, I don't think it's that self-evident.

If rights come with responsibilities, why do e.g. the mentally disabled have rights - what responsibilities to they confer to them? When someone can suffer, why would they not have a right to minimise that suffering, even if they're "just" an animal?

The Constitution (I assume the US one) was made up by humans, and any rights it confers were conferred by humans. If humans also confer those rights to, say, lakes, those should theoretically be just as valid as others, I'd presume?

My experience with heavy luggage on the French TVG was positive and so efficient Il Duce would be jealous.

My ticket told me where to stand on the platform. When the train pulled to a precise location, I did not have to move any distance. One door for boarding, one for deboarding, passengers did not bump or block each other. Luggage storage located immediately inside train, pass a sliding door to my assigned seat.

The train seemed to stop for less than a minute, we were moving before I took my seat.

No security in boarding station (Morliax), a little over 3 hrs to Paris, 450km as the crow flies.

Perhaps our French colleagues could chime in and let us know if this is a typical experience.

Baggage security in France and other EU countries is quite efficient, not everyone carries bags.
Those very water brakes seem ideal to prevent runaway turbine blades. Their braking power goes up very quickly as a function of impeller speed (ever use a rowing machine?).
Well the transparent blue spheres are checkpoints and the units have to pass through them. There is physics for collisions and the pods turn and accelerate towards the checkpoints. They go from one to the next. The race is infinite though in this case. It's inspired by a 2D bot programming contest at https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming/coders... .
Hard Rock Capsule
A capsule that can effectively increase the erectile power of a man is only the”Hard rock”. Hard Rock is a purely herbal product. It is a mixture of life enhancing herbs and aphrodisiacs that made it a natural libido increaser. It can be used to treat erectile dysfunction, impotence etc. sexual problems of men. It can even help in alcohol impotence cure. You will experience penis enlargement. Your sexual desire will increase.

Hard Rock will improve blood circulation inside the body. It will provide relief and relax the blood vessels for a steady flow of blood inside the penis. Any kind of sexual problem occurs due to lack of blood entering the penis or blood not entering the penis tissues. Our each part needs oxygen and its oxygen requirements are fulfilled by the blood only. If our any body part will not get sufficient oxygen it can’t work fine, results in various diseases and problems. You will experience incredible erections and a boost in your stamina after taking a single hard rock pill daily. You can take it daily as there is no side effect of this capsule.

Hey no, don't drag vape into this. World Health Organization estimates are at least 95% less harmful than smoking. That's harm reduction. Don't get me started on the studies that are skewed though, there are a ton of those. Like other than no-name china e-juice you won't find manufacturers purposefully adding diacetyl. Also you won't find users heating their coils to 900-degrees-F
Unrelated to OP's topic but I really enjoy OfficeSnapshots and it's incredible to see how far it's come since the early days. Congratulations!

Was there sort of a pivotal moment where you felt OfficeSnapshots was going to be viable? Did it happen organically or did you have to push hard for it?

"Non technical management - this should speak for itself. I've done it before to much regret."

I wouldn't put this as a con, I've seen lots of engineers turn into terrible managers, because the skills are completely orthogonal, they also then lose touch with the tech - because that's what happens if you stop coding for even a few months.

Vice versa, I've worked with lots of good non technical managers, who respect and defer to you for technical decisions, planning etc

And of course the other way round, also seen good technical managers and bad non technical ones.

In summary, technical experience of a manager is not an indicator for me, what is are the human factors, do they micromanage? Are they happy to cede control and delegate? Do they give realistic deadlines instead of death marches?
Firefox does so easily, although Chrome did too last I used it.
Yeah, it's a sad situation but one we should be working together to remedy. We all have to get behind and push, though -- it can't be an individual effort.

There are places, usually unhabitated who don't have a good timezone name, but just 'GMT-10' or such. With cities you likely don't encounter this. Short names, e.g. EET, aren't unique. There are several who share the same abbreviation.

I always saw this as meaning capable people are not threatened by working with other capable people so try to hire the best, whereas mediocre people see people more capable than themselves as a threat, so hire below their ability.

Obviously it's a huge generalisation, and I don't know how much truth there is in it.
Generally speaking a stopped turbine's blades are mostly stalled and under much lower stress than when rotating (albeit in different direction). The angle of attack of the blades is designed for moving blades.

The surprising result of this is that the brake force needed to keep the turbine stopped is much smaller than the one needed to stop it, despite the relatively low mass of the blades.

Because it's not East-Asia. It works in HK, Japan, Taiwan or others countries because a train station increase value of the surroundings but in France a train station is a place you want to avoid, especially at night. In any city of a respectable size this is where you have you have a lot of beggars, thieves etc. trying to extorts you cigarettes and money. It is even worse for women that get everything of that plus sexual harassement (and it's not from native French).

Ah hahaha they are just two types of racing pods :) . There is no car/rider classification.

For my personal version I can use all Starcraft 2 units as racing pods, the dragon and the binocular pod are just a couple of free ones I found on Sketchfab and put in there to be able to publish it :)

The problem is that Rider doesn't have some features that are a must-have for me, like Edit and Continue, Immediate Window, Docker-Compose debugger and some others.

Besides that, I love the performance.
>But you can't do it in C. __typeof__ is a GNU extension.

Yes you can. You just have to provide the type every time you use the macro yourself. You can even create a macro that creates helper “methods” for you.

With that said, I really dislike how common it is for C programmers to just use whatever their compiler's authors felt like adding and still calling it “portable C”. At this point, if you dislike “plain” C so much, you might as well just switch to a subset of C++ or D's “Better C” mode.

More comfortable than the TGV? The train I'm most familiar with is the Thalys, the high-speed train from Amsterdam to Paris, and I'm not sure if it's more comfortable than other TGVs, but it's always a joy to travel in.

I recently went to London in the Eurostar, and they'd managed to make the train experience feel like a plane. Very disappointing.

Thanks for the article. Developing a wide range of highly competitive nano-materials is a serious issue today. There are many good nanomaterials companies but Modern Synthesis Technology company http://mstnano.com/ru/products/graphene/ is one of the best I've worked with. They are known for their reliability, exceptional quality, time and cost efficiency. And they provide international supply of the most up-to-date nanomaterials and cooperate with the leading companies on the global market.

What Is Augmented Data Science and Why Is It Important to My Business?
Now I'm thinking about this kind of scheme out in the real world. Some random points:

It's not like it's not there. Sometimes ad letters contain things. I've been given a kitchen knife for listening to a knife demonstration in a hardware store. Online we do get a lot of content and services even though it often doesn't feel like it is a good trade with all the tracking and security risks.

At the same time (maybe not online) it is a dark (grey?) pattern to guilt people into buying something. Or you might get junk you do not want in exchange for being annoyed.
And often you don't get anything but annoyed, as with billboards or leaflets.

So would it actually be more ethical to consistently give people payment for paying attention to ads? (I know there are some projects, yes.) Especially considering that now the ones profiting (minus costs) are not the ones who have to live with it. How ethical is a for-profit ad business where people are exposed to it whatever they do? (This is a question of freedom in my book too.) Then again, if I got a beer for every pitch I can't avoid I'd be black-out drunk at all times..

That's roughly the case in Amsterdam. All land is technically owned by the city, and homeowners lease it for 50 years. When the lease will run out is always a detail to pay attention to when buying a home.

> let's not kid ourselves - the stacks are trivial compared to learning the processes and code at a particular business.

True. We're primarily a .NET/TypeScript/React/SQL Server shop but I'm happy to consider anyone with some experience of a C-like language, and some web development experience - it's also not necessary for these things to overlap. Beyond that, if you know what a database (of any sort) is I'm basically happy.

It's hard enough to find people who can program well in any language without making life even more difficult for yourself by adding requirements for N years experience in a given framework or technology.
Okay sorry to disappoint but there are no controls (not yet at least). It's automatic as it says in the title. Maybe I should have called it a "demo" instead of a "game" :) . It started as a model viewer and then I added a bit of physics and motion.
I think there's something in this. Reading through the OP the "some of the mistakes we made" section struck me -- with a suitably plastic UI framework these would all be trivial to solve (simple paper prototyping would have shown some of these up right off the bat). The best-guess -> test-with-real-user -> iterate approach seems likely to be cheaper (in terms of effort) and more likely yield an interface that users want to use and as such one with which they are more easily able to achieve their aims.

That said, I'm not wholly against the idea of formally specified UIs and am glad people are putting thought into the area as really this shouldn't be either/or situation.

Netherland is small, but it's not an island. We have high-speed trains to France and Germany, and soon England. The Dutch part of the trip is generally the slowest part, though.
It usually does. Actually I am not familiar with one example where public rail actually makes a profit, in real terms. All public rail systems I know or have read about are subsidized by the state either directly or via subsidizing the fare for the traveler (or both).
But you could then just go, give the same plan to different competing teams in the public railway network and you will get a similar effect. Because over all the private companies will also have to carry the cost of a lost competition to their customers.

I just don’t think it is good to give public infrastructure into the hands of any entity that has to generate profit. It is not a good idea for trains (look at the German Bahn where it now turns out they neglected infrastructure for years just to look profitable), it is not a good idea for water and not for cellular networks or internet (the German market is again a good example).

If you have a monopolist it will also leverage the fact that they are the only one. They essentially will blackmail you by strategic problems that will fall back onto you as the responsible governing body. They will put lobbyists into every possible spot and suddenly you live in a world where the only people who understand railways are on the monopolists payroll and a politician should decide about a topic they have no idea about.

And if put up too high requirements, everybody loses. In Germany the frequencies for 3G were auctioned for way to much money. How did the mobile networks compensate that loss? By essentially halting any infrastructure investment and changing the requirement from “has to reach 99% of the area” to “has to reach 99% of the households”.

The effects: broken train infrastructure with 1 in 5 trains arriving late, the worst mobile network of Europe, the slowest internet of Europe.

I am convinced a public train, mobile and internet infrastructure would be expensive — but I might get reception 10km outside of Berlin — I might be able to catch that next train and I might be able to get fibre in the middle of the German capital.
> cut the number of excessive public sector workers

I remind you, that we're talking about France here, where firing people is very, very hard. And we're talking public sector here, which would be a huge offense there. Protests would be massive.
Ask HN: Google remotely removed Soundcloud app on my phone. What can I do?
Last night, after updating a few apps on my droid, I realized Soundcloud is removed. Although the low storage-space alert would often suggest to remove Soundcloud to free up some space, I'd always neglect it. But the fact that the app is uninstalled anyway makes me wonder how far Google is willing to go. My only source of applications is the Google Play itself and it has - at times - installed some beta apps on my phone (which I disabled after I found it creepy). But to remove apps on the user's device is just outrageous.

I know Apple and Amazon have the power to do the same thing. Just didn't know Google does that too. Are there any legal actions one might take in such situations? Or are there any technical tweaks I may do in order to Google-proof the Android phone from now on?

Any input is really appreciated.

I think I understand how this works with a tangible good. But I have no idea how this works for more abstract goods, for instance like a machine learning patents.

Say I was given a u.s. patent on a an AI process that looks at photos of parking lots and tells you number, type, and length of stay of different cars. Now if someone steals my patent and sets up a server in country I don't like a patent like China. And then another company sends pictures of parking lots to the Chinese copycat company which runs my patented algorithm and then sends them back the data.

Is this illegal? Is there any way to stop it?

Startups don't tend to be fans of tying their own hands in terms of what they can do with stock.

To be fair - investors are also not fans of that. Potential investors will look at how shares and stock options are distributed and determine if it will allow them the flexibility they need in future fundraising/buyout efforts.

To go against this (investor interest and personal flexibility) founders would both have to have strong conviction and KNOW they won't need to rely on pleasing VCs in the future, for the company to survive.

This goes against how startups are currently built.
