there maybe something very easy to recycle some kind of plastic maybe PET maybe PP or whateve that maybe could be easy to produce and cheap to produce in a small plant like bricks for say Dog HOuses for example or to pile at the borders of gardens or something like this oreven to rplace bricks at some parts of a barn wall or even fences whateve anything kind of that size maybe roof tiles yeah...

The goal is to keep them at a sight at the same time not small parts and particles around and easy to take to some other recicling step if demand demands or whatever righ

and to keep it contained at same places not fucking around like garbage yeah with small plants for rough simple cheap shape of tile or roof or whatever Jars for water right BIg and THick Jars of water to have rain water or so for gardens yeah

thanks

At this point, I would be incredibly surprised if any country in the world wasn't engaged in some sort of online trolling/fake news dissemination on either the global (e.g. Russia vs US vs China) or local (internal politics) scale. It's the best way to spread propaganda while making it seem as real as possible.

When it comes to masturbation narrowly defined, most people now accept that it is not harmful or sinful. Nor is it a sign of a failed sex life. I believe that we should have the same attitude towards more general forms of self-gratification.

Why would diversity by sex be very important here? Wouldn't diversity by field of study, expertise, accomplishment, etc by far more relevant?

I'd totally buy that diversity was a problem because "all the people who looked at this were from a few schools studying the same degree, and came up in the same academic circles and so had the same idea.". But the fact that the people studying the issue had similar genitals seems irrelevant.

Really, it strikes me how luddite people are when it comes to voting. In every other case, people welcome technology making stuff easier. But in this area, all I hear is complaints how far the voting booth is, how you need ID, how there is no national holiday and so on. What about absentee ballots? How do you make sure they were mailed by the right person?

Listen, if an attacker can subvert 30% of the votes, don’t you think they would also be able to subvert 30% of bank accounts which would use the same security? Banks let use an app to withdraw $100,000. Why not for voting which is far less valuable?

Think about it... anyone can just as easily bring a ton of paper ballots and stuff the box that way. If you are concerned about the vote being illegitimate then have everyone submit an encrypted video of themselves saying the vote along with the vote, and the app recognizes what is said, displays it on the screen and the person clicks OK.

EDIT: To the automatic downvoters - why do you trust your bank’s app to manage a lot of money but not an app for voting?

I love seeing all the speculation here on HackerNews about why tech companies flock to California, and especially to the Bay Area. Everyone has their own theory: access to money, the great weather, non-competes not being enforceable, great universities, the “pay it forward” attitude, immigrant diversity and tolerance, "good" public transit (as compared to other parts of the US), network effect (because the best developers, investors, and tech companies are already there), beautiful landscapes and the ocean, concentration of VCs, etc.

It reminds me of a similarly long discussion here on HN about why Americans were generally thin in the 1950s but much fatter today. Again, everyone was pretty sure of their reason, the leading theories being: fast food, food being cheaper, rise of sedentary jobs, less physical activity due to more cars & labor saving devices, wives now working outside and not cooking at home, big reduction in smoking (because it keeps you thin), more sugar in foods, more carbs in our diet, etc.

All of the theories above sound reasonable. The problem is that there is almost no way to do controlled experiments to find the true answer. And the true answer could be quite complex, like it was initially 38% factor A, 22% factor B, and the C,D, & E making up the rest, but over time it's become 5% factor A, 11% factor B, with factor D now dominating at 58%.

I'm resigned to the conclusion that we're not going to know the answer. It's a complex interaction of millions of individual decisions and interrelated changes over a period of decades in a way that's not reproducible.
Gotta love it when you go to the supermarket and the cashier “double bags” your plastic wrapped product.
> Between 043 and 610, there was further maintenance that included flushing the pilot valves and cleaning electrical connectors, but the AoA sensor was not replaced between 043 and 610.

They followed Boeing's procedure in attempting to address the issue again (after already replacing the sensor). That's a completely appropriate action.

> the next flight should definitely be aware of the incident on the flight prior.

It is in the log book. Is this a reference to something particular?

> 043 faced and overcame the exact same malfunction as 610 - to me that indicates a clear failure.

I agree, that's why maintenance conducted a repair.

> If you keep flying an aircraft that malfunctions on each flight, you're pressing your luck.

They attempted two repairs in accordance to the manufacturer's procedures within that time in order to resolve the malfunctions.

This post references the report and you clearly read it enough to know your original conclusion was mistaken, but are still arguing you're right by trying to shift the discussion. You've gone from "they flew a broken aircraft" to "alight, so they repaired it twice, but you cannot ever trust a malfunctioning aircraft again." By that logic every single commercial aircraft would be in the junkyard... Repairing malfunctioning systems is normal, attempting two different repairs isn't uncommon either.
It is true that Go doesn't lend itself to general packages often. You are either left with interface{} parameters and return values (bye bye compile time type check) or working against an interface like the ol' sort package. That said, I've only run up against this a couple of times in multiple years of working in the language, and it so happens that caching is one of them.

While I admit I don't know all the rules that govern CAs, can you name one that would be at issue here? I would presume that, at the time you're issuing the name-constrained CA certificate, you would issue a challenge to prove ownership of the domain, much as you would for a non-CA cert. Why would that not suffice?

Perhaps it isn't "hatred towards the other" but rather love for their own citizens who share a similar cultural background, upbringing, and values...especially when "the other" comes off as ungrateful and in some cases even complains that the host country isn't doing more to make them feel more at home in a place that isn't their home...

This is a very biased view.
1. HFT market makers creating liquid markets that won’t otherwise exist.

2. Dramatic lowering of bid-offer spreads and, thus, transaction costs to liquidity takers (eg retail investors).

3. No-arbitrage pricing: safe to assume that virtually any easily-tradable instument is fairly priced, otherwise would’ve been quickly arbitraged. Has not always been this way.

4. Driving innovation by paying for technologies/solutions that nobody except HFTs would buy at the time.
I have this exact same pattern, where the effectiveness lasts for 1-3 days then stops. This is regardless of whether the dosage is 10 mg or 1 mg (Ive never tried 0.3 mg because I never bothered to crush the pills and weigh). The reset period seems to be on the order of 4-8 weeks before its effective again.
I meant I make much more as a freelancer than I did working a job. So we agree completely.
So the downside now is you have to be available for the whole week, which means you can't commit to other clients that week and you can't take time off? And you've got similar disadvantages with hourly billing where if you get through the work faster you'll have less work to charge for later and there's a cap on how much you can earn because there's only so many hours in the week?

Not saying other approaches are perfect but I'm trying to understand alternatives.

You said that if a password of length n-1 "contains a significant percentage of combinations" compared to a password with length n then "it's probably already short enough to brute force".

Right?

That percentage comes entirely from the character pool.

So character pool -> percentage -> probably short enough to brute force.

What am I reading wrong? The only assumption I made is "compared to a password with length n", because what else would you be comparing length "n-1" to. Otherwise it's a direct quote.

Many ethnic enclaves have programs that get people their licenses and they get hired by trucking companies owned by folks from those enclaves. In my experience, thise types of drivers get between $500-$800 per week, cash.

The owner of the truck's pay varies based on how they acquired their shipments, direct to shipper or via a broker. Their is a huge spot shipment market for small companies, which fluxuates wildly, at times. Ultimately, the rates vary greatly.

Now, you can drive for a big outfit and make upwards of 70-80k gross, depending on experience, specialization, endorsements, etc.
It depends on what you do. As a developer you may explore a day rate or a half day rate. I am a UX consultant and my minimum billing increment is 1 week. If the scope is less than a week I simply do not accept the work.

X86 hardware diversity exploded shortly after Linux took off, which gave more popular operating systems a huge incumbent advantage.

However, now that Moore’s law has petered out, you can target Intel’s current mainstream SoC, and you have a bootable product.

Hopefully this translates into more competition in the operating system kernel space.
That's too broad. We can have almost any system, as long as the incentives are aligned correctly.

We don't make companies pay for externalities, and we should. Maybe we could tax companies that sell plastic packaged things to pay for recovery costs, or make them recover it themselves.

There's lots of options and many of them could exist in a world where private interests make profit. We just can't let profit be the goal, it has to be the reward for acting responsibly.
It's pretty cool what can be repaired by those with the right know-how. A friend of mine bent his bell much more than the one in the video (one side was folded over, almost like a taco) and apparently it was still fixable.
Trucking is a little different. I'm not sure the current regs, but driving time is logged differently than "on duty not driving" different than off duty. Typically, drivers are paid by the mile, so on duty not driving is unpaid, while doing tasks like DOT inspections, vehicle walk around, fixing stuff, tire pressure, break adjustments, shifting trailer pins, etc.

Long haul teams can drive as much as 300+k miles per year. This typically consumes 50 weeks of being in the truck at least 6 days a week, simplifying at little.

within India, we use lots of Plastic bags. GOV of India tried to ban it so many times but public and shop owners are not willing to give it up. on other hands, GOV doesn't oppose big corporations producing consumer food packages using plastic. This is really a big issue where I live (animals eating plastic; big dump of plastic in public place). in my view, we should totally ban plastic bags for consumers and for corporation usage.
If you assume that your car could charge 8 whole hours a day in full sunlight, then you could get away with having your solar panels be just 25 times larger than your car. You still don't want a car that large. Solar panels on an electric car have never made sense, and we're not close enough to the sun for them to ever make sense. Maybe the Mercury colonists can use solar-powered cars. There's more sunlight there, and less gravity and air to slow the cars down, so it might actually work out.

Just charge your car at home, at night, when the electric prices are lowest. Since most people don't drive hundreds of miles every day, people with home chargers (or chargers at their work) won't have to visit a charging station unless they're going on a long trip. That's the only time it makes sense to use rapid charging; the rest of the time the charging can be much slower. If you have a charger at home, you could go years without having to visit a supercharger. A whole category of human activity could one day disappear, and people will wonder how they ever had time to visit a gas station every day of their lives.
Sure, If you make it your own policy to work on one client at a time, you could have downtime that you still charge for. It doesn’t have to be this way though, retainer does not mean you have to be limited to one client. If you feel guilty that you don’t provide enough value for the work you do, go ahead and charge a half daily or a daily rate, and work on other projects on other days. Personally I will take on 1-2 clients max because that is all I can handle at a time without outsourcing parts of my process (have yet to try this). Essentially you can end up with 2 higher paying “jobs” and charge twice or 3 times what your colleagues are making in-house. It all depends on how you want to do things - you’re the boss.
Exchanges do very detailed studies of what tick sizes should be, as well as setting fifo/pro-rata ratios. Many products that have seemingly large tick sizes like eg treasuries or vix would not work otherwise. MMs will not be compensated enough for taking risk and will leave, liquidity will dry up, then liquidity-takers who are unable to execute desired size will also leave.

Self help books have been a thing since the advent of cheap printing. Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" was a big thing when it came out in 1936, and it still has a following.
That makes a little sense, I guess, but

>"Apple should not be allowed to offer Apple Music to compete with Spotify or Apple Maps to compete with Google Maps or the upcoming Apple Movies to compete with Netflix."

are pretty bad examples to support this argument.

Apple has been competing with Netflix for years, and Netflix has kicked their butt at every turn.

By this argument, Google shouldn't be able to offer Maps on Android, so you'd have Apple Maps on Android phones and Google Maps on iPhones? I fail to see how that benefits consumers at all, and more to the point it does little or nothing to help small companies.

Antitrust laws are intended to benefit consumers. It's hard to square antitrust laws with the idea that consumers should be forced to pay for apps from small companies rather than enjoying free apps from platform vendors.

There is no shortage of people in Silicon Valley willing to work at startups, and that's why there are so many startups.

If animals are unable to direct their attention towards learning to do something, that's functionally identitical to them not being able to do it. Even in an alternate universe where the only reason dogs can't speak English is that they can't work up the focus to sit down with a copy of Strunk and White, it would still be correct to say that animals lack the capacity for language.
True, but the 737 MAX 8's first commercial flight was in 2017, much newer than any of the aircraft on the above list. The point is that such a new aircraft already has a far worse safety record than plenty of aircraft that have been around for years. I think it's irrelevant to compare 737 subtypes, since discussion focuses on the 737 MAX 8 variant specifically.

> And indeed, the 787, 747-8, A350 and arguably the A380 are all new planes that have not accumulated the decades of flight history with huge fleets that the 737 has.

The 787's first commercial flight was in 2011. The 747-8 in 2012. A350: 2015. A380: 2007. All predate the 737 MAX 8 by years, and have better safety records.
Even supposing that HFT adds no value to society (which is an incorrect assumption as many commenters have already pointed out), this particular argument is pretty inane in my opinion.

There are perhaps 4-8 significant players in the HFT space, all employing anywhere between a few hundred to a thousand people. Probably less than 5000 people total, and if you only include programmers and quants, maybe less than 2000. Google alone has 30000 programmers. How many of them are optimizing ads for eyeballs vs “benefiting the country/society/humanity”? What about the thousands of programmers making video games mechanics more addictive for children? I think it’s silly to focus on one tiny industry, and demand that those people should be working on things for the good of humanity, when the fact is the vast majority of humans just work for their own livelihood. I mean, what do you think 95% of the people in SV are doing? Not every company is trying to cure cancer or explore space...

HFT is such a small, niche, industry, and also extremely productive per employee relative to most other industries. (the primary reason for comp being so higher). It replaced the thousands of manual traders that used to be responsible for arbitrage and market making with automated robots, dramatically increasing market efficiencies while reducing the amount of human capital required to provide those services. I find all the virterol towards hft from SV very puzzling, as it seems to exemplify all the things that SV espouses!
