It was a pain in the ass to recover: my only option seemed to be to power down and power back up again, at which point OSX helpfully remembered the state my machine was in and dropped me back into the blacked-out display and maxed fan. Some combination of NVRAM reset, SPC reset and safe mode was required to get back in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tBH9SE-Kw8 tells us that the Archimedes principle (objects move an amount of water that correspond to their weight) is useful to equilibrate the two arms of the wheel in order to have correct balance.

edit: and that the amount of energy to do one rotation is just 1.5kWh (@22.5kW) ... incredible!
Canada has a similar law under the Fisheries Act.

You can pursue a private prosecution if you can find a court willing to hear your case.

You would get half of the fine (if any).

The only problem is that the Crown can take over the case if it wants, so you may lose out on your investment if your case is too good.

Other laws let you pursue private prosecutions, but you don’t get a cut, so there’s little incentive.

Like others are saying, women are targeted way more, one example:

So one of the things is that MLMs have sort of succesfully branded themselves as not-a-job in a lot of cases. A large chunk of religious fundamentalists see women working outside the home as sort of against Gods will BUT single income houses are harder to maintain these days, especially if you have a bunch of kids. Enter MLMs telling these women A) it's not like a reeeaaalll job B) you can make money to support your family.
Ask HN: Is starting eBook store today an insane idea?
With the new year kick off I promised myself to start an eBook store as my new year resolution. I have been reading a lot of books over the last decade and I had always felt that starting eBook store will come natural to me giving my web designing background and love for the books. However, I have been always reluctant to begin due to the huge competition, Amazon to name the main one. I'm no longer feeling that I need to achieve what Amazon has achieved, I just want to have my book store. I have secured one author whose ebooks and reports are already on my website so the dream is coming true.

Would love to hear what the community thinks and if you guys have your own experience in running ebook stores that could share with your fellow HN reader.
I don’t know how common it is but a chemist friend of mine retired early. His situation was his company was bought and layed off people, he survived. That company was bought, he survived. The 3rd time this happened, he didn’t survive.

Add ageism to the mix and I think it’s quite likely you will be out a job before you are ready to retire.

These guys that are saying “maybe he wanted to shlep boxes” are whistling past the graveyard because they don’t want to believe it could happen to them.

EULA eh?

Show me:

1. Where it was signed (show me the document)
2. The wording of the agreed EULA
3. Who agreed to it
4. If theyre even able to make it.

Because I know at my workplace, a computer was provided to me. Windows 10. I never clicked on a EULA. Ive also made VMs on AWS of Windows server 2016 for testing - again, no EULA. No clickthru.

I think this may be true with western cuisines, but food in Asia is especially different from what you get in normal Asian restaurants (Indian, Chinese, Thai, etc)

Asian cuisines are usually bastardized and then type casted into a very narrow view of the food is actually like.

Almost none of the food I had growing up, is available in Indian restaurants in the US. Similarly, I have to really go looking to find authentic food from certain regions in China and legit Thai food. My perspective of these foods completely changed after trying these authentic places.

Starting with a document engine and bolting-on a language hasn't worked so well.

Doing security through language-machines (Java Applets / Flash / JavaScript) hasn't worked so well either. Spec-ex has pushed this from bad to worse.

If the idea is to run untrusted foreign code on our machines, I think some kind of emulator wrapped inside of a full-blown VM--with a super-easy interface for connecting/disconnecting peripherals, and a chrome-debugger-simple way to snoop and/or filter network traffic--would be a dramatic improvement over what's currently out there.

Totally academic discussion though. We know how to do better. Google and Apple dictate what we actually do. Facebook made a fairly successful end-run around them with React Native. The situation is obviously f'ed when Facebook is the underdog.
TCP over TCP has always had serious performance issues, because the congestion controls combine in toxic ways. SSH tunnels that connect to something other than localhost on the remote end have similar problems (i.e. ssh -D 1080 as a SOCKS proxy).

well of course everyone knows that all the smart uninterruptible rocket surgeons use linux nudge wink. It's okay to not target every possible group under the sun. And to be honest windows is getting a bit too dumbed down even for me And that's what stings, I guess. For all the things they do wrong, they get the most shit for one of the few things they got right. Everyman user will delay updates forever so they must be forced to apply them.
Yogurt also apparently is Rich in probiotics! I never ever goto bed without having a cup of Yogurt. Disclaimer I am a South Indian and Yogurt/ buttermilk is THE staple diet for a lot of us. We make use of Buttermilk in a lot of various dishes prominent of which is the Morkozhumbu. You got to eat it to believe it. Ethereal.
But when you need to reboot for any other reason (e.g. Windows bugs out), then the update happens, and your have to wait.

Shift-shutdown didn't prevent this either.

Unexpected updates was a primary reason I am now using Linux full time (rather than part time as previously).
Microsoft has always been a non-innovator. Their whole MO has been to wait to see what innovations catch on, and then dominate that space. The software/products they create in these spaces tend to be competent but not brilliant. They are almost a market-follower which happens to gain significant market share due to shrewd business tactics and, eventually, their sheer size. They have always mostly taken a 'wait and see' approach -- just look at the way Azure has come around as a response to AWS.

I agree with your views on privacy and Chrome. I've stopped using Chrome except at work, where (sadly) the Chrome dev tools are too valuable to ignore.
> The substantial difference between a franchise and an pyramid scheme is that a franchisee only sells products to consumers/end-users, not the franchise itself.

Not true. Most franchisors make a royalty from sales, but also make a profit from being the exclusive distributor of everything in the franchise - napkins, cups, food, etc.

Your general point is correct though.

> If you put the brake (the paddles in water part) at the top of the tower, you have to pump water up the tower.

You have a windmill, so you have a source of energy to do that. Much of the mechanical energy that goes into the pumping becomes gravitational potential energy, which will become heat when the water goes back down the tower. A lot of the rest will be lost as heat during pumping. Either way, it's ending up as heat, which is what you want.

Heaters are the only type of machine which are naturally efficient!

Contingent: A Fully Dynamic Build System
It fits the narrative of US doing better than everyone else, thus money is flowing in.

There was a study done (can't find the link atm) regarding the impact of the tariffs on US consumer goods, and what they found was that the impact on US goods were negligible. The Chinese suppliers usually ate the tariff cost, which cuts into their margin. This in turn either bankrupts the company - because the private enterprise in China has been suffering from massive debt and government preferences for state owned enterprises - or it prompts the company to move the factories to Vietnam or other places.
Except that you've got the point completely upside down!
At first people didn't believe in heliocentrism because it used circular orbits, and instead used to believe that the universe is better described from the geocentric point of view which was one ginormous mess from the mathematical point of view. Then people realized that the beautiful addition of conical curves solves the problem completely. I say 'beautiful' because clearly you don't have a sense of mathematical beauty. Mathematical beauty is not only the simplicity of the solutions, but also it's robustness and fluid way in which it fits into the rest of our knowledge. The real simplification that came from it is far deeper than any 'circular orbits' picture you imagine.
Naturalness and search for beauty can never be proved wrong. Those principles can perhaps only be applied prematurely, before enough data is collected.

Neither side have centralized command and control, no centralized launch control, both Indian and Pakistani nukes are practically unsafe and neither country has a nuclear triad nor hardened launch capabilities that can survive a first strike, the only 2nd strike any of these countries would get is due to the sheer incompetence of their opponent.

What’s worse is that both sides also lack proper early warning systems, reliable IFF, centralized communications, and essentially everything needs to ensure that no one is going to make a huge mistake.

India and Pakistan are both a joke sadly for the rest of the world not a particularly funny one, and what will start with them won’t end with them since Russia, China and the US would get dragged into the situation.

One of the biggest criticism of the nuclear non proliferation treaty is that it lacks the provision to deal with nations that achieve break out of full nuclear capabilities and allow the nuclear power to provide them with guidance and the tools to actually secure their nuclear arsenal.

To put things into perspective China only now is establishing a centralized and fault tolerant command and control infrastructure with continuity of government and military command, both the US and Russia have been constantly miss identifying anything form wild geese to sounding rockets as possible first strike candidates and you if expect India and Pakistan to handle these issues with competency then you might need to reconsider what you define as such.
I always wondered about this... What if those big tech giants such as Facebook, Microsoft and Google are pushing coding bootcamps and coding education at such a young age in order to dramatically reduce labor costs in like the next 10-20 years.

The most efficient panels are at 22% right now, and that's with no overcast conditions or rain, sun directly overhead, and full tracking. The 22% are significantly more expensive. Most panels have around 15% efficiency, when new, under ideal seasonal, weather, tracking and lighting conditions. Quite a bit less when not.

I have a self built solar water heater and a house designed around passive solar. This handles heating and cooling sufficiently without grid inputs. My house stays at temperate conditions year round and my monthly energy bill, consisting of non-heating uses, is around $25/month on average.

Not my field, so I'll leave others to answer.

But there's also further clumping. In light nuclei, nucleons are clustered as 4alpha particles (two protons and two neutrons).

Simulation has ground-state 8Beryllium mass density shaped like a dumbbell of two alphas. And ground-state 20Neon shaped like a 10 femtometer ball-and-stick old wine bottle.[1] With a triangle of alphas (like non-ground-state C), a forth making a tetrahedron (like non-ground-state O), and the fifth hanging further out on the opposite side.

Research for an old project. For improving introductory material science in early-primary school. Instead of the usual "just memorize the words - we don't teach those atoms things until the year after next", or the reform "teach atoms up", I was exploring "teach nucleons up". Atoms approached from the perspective of nuclei. Building out from the familiar, almost-classical marbles, rather than attempting to stand on a foundation of the least-intuitive utterly-bizarre wacky electrons. But I didn't manage to get much conversation/collaboration going.[2] :/

The traditional and common graphical representations of nuclei in education are very aphysical.

I just think from an ethical point of view I much prefer Microsoft's model over google's which depends on sucking up more and more information about people. Give it a few years and Google and Facebook will have worldwide surveillance of everybody on a level that never existed and most people probably can't imagine. Even companies with a bad reputation like Oracle are better. You give them a lot of money and they give you a product but don't need to know every move you ever make.
> Or, they might plan a secret saturation anti-ship missile strike that would take out a big chunk of the US fleet, calculating that we wouldn't escalate to full war or nuclear over Taiwan.

This is similar to the strategy behind Pearl Harbor. Which isn't to say that it's the exact same, or that the Chinese wouldn't attempt it--likewise, we should expect and prepare for such a threat.

> Keep your eye out for a naval arms race between the US and China.

Agreed.

I think the anti-ship missile threat in particular is something the Navy is planning for, judging by the strong investment in directed-energy weapons.
Radamsa is awesome! Definitely agree, and one of the goals for Fuzzbuzz is to be able to hot-swap between fuzzing backends without any interface changes (or to use all backends at the same time, to account for differences in findings).

My argument is that the west side has had many opportunities to alleviate our transportation problem and has consistently decided that we would rather deal with hour long traffic jams than even incremental amounts of change.

People have been trying for years to do things like add safe bike lanes, rebuild the streetcar system, and build a subway system. Angelinos have been far more concerned with the temporary traffic disruptions, slight inconveniences, and potential demographic shifts of each.

My entire neighborhood threw a fit when someone tried to install a roundabout instead of a 4 way stop to reduce congestion.

Nobody would have been negatively impacted for more than a few months, but the people here just don't care about collective benefit, at all.

And that's before we start discussing the people who have deliberately induced greater congestion by adding speed bumps to side streets in an effort to protect property value.

Doing better than a "crumbling economy" doesn't mean you're doing stellar. That's setting the bar very low, and then saying "see, we beat it". It isn't necessarily confidence-inducing, even it is better than the others.

Corporations, and the government for that matter, are made up of people. Lakes, rivers, and forests are not. So there is that difference.

The article itself is an editorial piece with scant details. Who is sued? One example is given of a lawsuit on behalf of a river in Ecuador, in which "companies" were sued. Who represents the river? The government? Who is paid the damages? The government? Are trial lawyers involved? What is their fee? Surely no potential for shenanigans there </sarcasm>.
In theory, the internet should be a place where our conflicting opinions about how to use our hardware can coexist. Unfortunately, the internet is slowly evolving where that's not the case.

If we want to turn the web into native apps, that's fine. Give me the same amount of control over the web that I have over native apps.

With a native app, I can control exactly how much CPU/disk/network it uses. I can have the app re/start automatically and I can work with it natively in literally whatever language I choose. Not only that but the web browser typically does a piss-poor job of isolation between sites.

With a web app, everything is more difficult (if not nigh-on impossible). And what do I, as the end user, actually gain in the end? Nothing that I didn't have ten years ago with far less complexity.

Ultimately at the end of the day it's my device. Some random third party person should not be permitted to use my device to execute or store whatever they want just because I randomly, accidentally, or was coerced into clicking on a malicious URL.

Maybe they can't themselves, but don't like the idea that someone else eventually may be able to.

I think you're overconfident of the safety of actively advertising our presence to the universe because you're making a lot of assumptions and only considering a small number of possibilities. The problem is that there are so many unknowns and so many shades between different possibilities that no one can really be confident about anything, except that the risk could be anywhere between zero and the maximum.
