regular orbits around black holes are possible. Depending on activity if it's far enough away the radiation should be survivable, it just depends on how much matter it's eating up and whether the orbit is planar enough to its spin (otherwise its jets can be deadly).
That's true, but the numbers still don't add up without VAT and other taxes. Without VAT and including the incentive (2k euro) it's around 43k euro which is 48k USD.
>A big problem is that it's so difficult (and expensive) to get a code signing certificate that's valid under Windows that many developers just don't bother:

That's for EV certificates. Regular certificates are a lot more affordable: https://comodosslstore.com/ca/code-signing (~$100/yr). For comparison, apple developer program is also around $100/yr. Certum also provides discounted certificates for open source projects (around $30).

>Here's hoping that something like LetsEncrypt comes along for code signing or EV certificates, or that Microsoft makes the process easier somehow.

The only reason that letsencrypt can be free is that domains can be validated at 0 marginal cost. Code signing certificates are issued to persons or corporations, not domains. Because of that, the issuer has to do a bunch of manual checks that drives up the marginal cost of each certificate.

Also, letsencrypt has many corporate sponsors who directly benefit from https adoption. Who benefits from microsoft code signing certificate adoption? Only microsoft.
You're a bad person and you should feel bad. You won't, but you _really_ should.
The entire video is his description of the reasons for why it'll look like a fuzzy coffee mug stain. It's "fuzzy" because of the low resolution, not because the black hole itself is fuzzy. Undoubtedly there will be work to improve the best quality photograph of a black hole, now that we have one at all.

A couple of direct recommendations to combat this fear.

1. Sales teams can help here. You have a sales rep that you should meet/interact with so that if something like were to happen, you have a person you can reach out to. There has been a lot of news about hiring within sales.

2. Set up a proper Cloud Identity domain and organization. Manage users this way as opposed to consumer accounts.

3. Set up an invoiced billing account

First, pandoc does a pretty decent job of converting Org Mode to HTML or several other formats.

Second, "firing" up Emacs sounds odd to Org Mode's target audience. :) We already have Emacs open! (I typed this comment in Emacs).

I don't know how hard it is to make a nice looking website in Org Mode, but to make bland websites for academics (like this schmuck's page: https://www.matem.unam.mx/~omar/), I think Org Mode and org-publish are great. And probably it's not harder to make a nice website with org-publish than with anything else: the trick is being willing to learn CSS. :)

Correct me if I misunderstood (or read things too literally), but you're saying you stopped more than 8 times in a 500 mile trip? That seems like a lot, especially if they were for recharging. But I don't know the charging rate so maybe it was a case of many short sessions vs. 1 or 2 long ones?

Note: I got >8 because you said most stops were 10-min and then listed 4 stops longer than 10-min.
By that you mean the first digit?
I also wondered about this. Seems like it has to be taken into account.

Still, the article says that glass and metal are already put together with adhesive. Unless the adhesive is stretchy, it must mean that, within certain limits, it's already OK. Presumably it gets worse as the length increases since expansion is cumulative, which suggests that smaller lengths are OK.

Also, there are probably ways you can design around it like creating gaps in the metal or shaping it so that the metal can bend.
Coming from vim, I'd suggest spacemacs, following along with whatever docs they have.

Coming from anywhere else, I'd just start with the emacs tutorial (C-h t) and then move on from there.

I personally think that there's a lot to like about the vi text-manipulation commands, but that spacemacs does a bit too much out of the box. I just use Prelude:-)

Answers:

Yes, but you can see how many chargers there are available (and max charge rate) before you go. Usually, you charge at home/work.

Yes, sometimes it's just car talk, but sometimes it's more interesting... you've got 10-15min or so to relax.

Depends on whether you're grandfathered in (or paid for it upfront), but for most people still yes. However, if you stay plugged in after charging you will get billed (~$1/min if it's full!).

...are you actually saying that because "amazon" is not used as a proper noun that disqualifies it as a common, generic word and only instances of trademark use are valid?

Because that's what your example heavily implies, based on the grammar and syntax (given your capitalization of the word amazon) of your example. I hope you're not doing that. Because that'd be ridiculous.
Most test suites cannot test long-term stability. We once had a commercial J2EE app that would run fine for weeks on JDK 7.x but commit continual-GC suicide or burn 100% of all cores after about 24 hours on JDK 7.x+1.

After this happened with multiple oracle “bug fix” releases, we of course stopped upgrading as much as possible, spending days trying to determine if each security hole being patched in the JDK was actually an attack vector for this app.

We also implemented periodic “therapeutic restarts” on all app servers.

It was like running a critical server app on Windows 95.

Charging throughput was recently bumped to 150 kW for Model 3 and a bit less for other models. It essentially halves the total time any car stays there, doubling daily capacity. A full station was already rare, this change helps keep pace as demand grows.

I've chatted with a few others, helped a few people who were there for the first time go through the process. Everyone is pleasant and generally excited, unlike any one during a petrol station visit.

S and X get free charging. Some 3s have 1000 miles free if using a referral code

To be specific, the canonical format for Pandoc is Pandoc Markdown, which is still my favorite flavor of Markdown (I guess Github-falvored is my second favorite). But Org Mode is even nicer than Pandoc Markdown, so I used Pandoc to convert all my files to Org Mode.
I always recommend that the time scale up as your career matures. New to the work? Try it on your own until you go 15 minutes with zero forward progress. Then ask for help. Mid-level, maybe a couple hours. Senior-level, maybe a couple days, but you'll also hit the point where you are the expert, and there is no help. You'll just have to figure it out. (Which is also where I tend to draw the line of who is/is not senior.)
I've followed a similar path as you. I was a late-bloomer, academically. Just sorta bounced around until my mid-twenties when I got bored/depressed (or did I simply realize I would be miserable later in life?) with what I was doing in my minimum-wage jobs. I somehow got interested in Physics, put myself back into school, at which point I became incredibly interested in Software Development during an internship my Junior year and the rest is a standard Tech Industry story.

I work really long hours, not because I feel some need to satisfy my corporate overlords or because I have too much to do, but simply because I find it fun. I'm sure most everyone here can relate, but that feeling of banging your head against a wall for (x-amount of time) and then suddenly nailing a solution is exhilarating. I don't think that I can hit burnout with that, but maybe I'm wrong.

I see two things with this:

1) I (and this cannot be stressed enough) got _really_ lucky having an inherent interest in something that also aligned with a market need.

2) In the course of "bouncing around" in my late-teens and early-twenties I had a lot of time to ruminate (consciously or not) on who I was and what I wanted with life. This isn't some profound thing I'll say and I've certainly seen it echoed here before, but pushing young people (let's be real... they're kids) to make an extremely costly decision that will impact the entirety of their life without knowing who they even are is...crazy.

Like you, I'll contrast that with my wife: High School -> SATs -> college application process -> enter a curriculum for (insert here) -> graduate -> get a job (not even in your mid-twenties yet). Maybe some people do know who they are at an early age, but I'd wager most people don't really know themselves until ~25.

And now, here you are, coming to terms with yourself after having invested god-knows-how-much money and four years into something you'll likely evolve out of, but still needing to put in the hours to make ends meet and climb the ladder (we all want to be middle management, right?). The key to loving your job in the age of burnout is to not take your job until you know who you are. And even then your interests may not even align with an economic need. So what do you do? Especially when you need to feed yourself and, potentially, your family. It seems to me that finding a career that you like and that feels like fun, rather than work, is a total crap shoot. Sort of like a romantic relationship. Ideally, you want a partner that grows with you, but as we all know that's hard to predict because people change at varying rates or not at all.

TL;DR: If you're (really really) lucky and happen to fall into a career path that grows with you, you might not experience burnout

The other thing about 90s Japanese cars is that cars, once old enough, can be easily imported regardless of emissions/safety standards.

In Canada, I think it’s 17 years of age, then you can bring in your right hand drive car more easily than container of potatoes.

Personally, I don’t know why each country has its own safety standards when every industrialized country has a similar enough mix of speed limits and urban/suburban/rural environments.

Is an image of a sphere printed on paper three dimensional? Think about that for a moment, and you'll see the problem.

I am not a physicist, but from my lay understanding, a black hole (and all other forms of matter) exists in a four-dimensional space-time form that we can experience directly, plus a number of higher dimensions that we can only extrapolate, and observe indirectly via experiment (kind of how a picture of a sphere is not a sphere due to a missing dimension, but you can still tell it's a sphere based on other characteristics). The exact number of higher dimensions is the realm of string theory, and could be 10, 11, 26, or something else.

The singularity of the black hole is one-dimensional, I think (I could be wrong, I'm often wrong). The event horizon is... funny. The outside of the event horizon is in four-dimensional space-time and is more or less "spherical". The inside is a land of theory and debate, because by definition we can't directly observe it from our space-time. Do space and time even exist inside the event horizon? I dunno, ask someone who knows what they're talking about. The best I can do is an analogy. Imagine it's the surface of the ocean. Above the surface, you're in air. Below the surface, you're in water.
Ask HN: What is the most complex commonplace consumer product?
I was thinking today that many of the really commonplace consumer products we have today involve incredible amounts of complexity...smartphones, electric cars (even regular cars!), smart tvs, laptops, etc. All of these are built on really incredible technologies not to mention deep supply chains with tons of steps.

What do you think is the most complex consumer product that's pretty commonplace today?
- are there ever times when there aren’t enough charging stations free due to other Teslas tying them up?

It happens. I use them maybe once a month for the last year and I've only had to wait once. It cost me 10 minutes or so. If you're unlucky you might live near a particularly crowded supercharge and have longer waits. I think the vast majority of owners charge at home 90+% of the time.

- do you find yourself chatting with fellow Tesla owners while charging?
Some people hang around their cars while they charge but I tend to grab a coffee or do some shopping. The chargers are usually near at least a coffee shop if not an entire mall. With the exception of the occasional long trip, I'm usually not staying long.

-are the superchargers free to use
For some people. My model 3 didn't come with free supercharging but a lot of the chargers are sponsored by the local mall (I've seen a few tourist centers with free charging too). The only time I've paid it cost about $6 for a roughly 75% charge (200 to 240 miles).
How long does the battery in a Tesla last? What’s the cost to replace it?

In my 10 year career, I've done 2 startups in the Bay Area (both early, one I left after Series A, another one I left after Series C) and more recently Google, and I can say the level of talent doesn't even compare in my opinion: from my experience, the engineers were so bad quality that I was feeling depressed and wasting my time most of the time (and constantly saying to myself "am I just a jerk in thinking of everyone else as doing bad work?").

Typical thing, that really happened: a coworker at a startup ("senior engineer") had to do some calls to a very simple HTTP API from an embedded C++ component. She proceeded to hand craft her own HTTP requests and manually dispatch them to a manually instantiated connection using sockets, and then manually parsing HTTP responses (!!). I suggested to not spend time on such irrelevant code, I was ignored. Management didn't chime in.

She kept having problems and problems once that 100s-lines long thing hit production, as you can imagine (every software engineer should know that writing a network client from scratch is not easy!): finally I broke down, linked libcurl in the application, and in 2 hours and 30 lines of code I had the whole thing solidly working. And that's how I afforded working 40 hours a week instead of 60.

At Google, this would never happen.

It's sad that VC/founder's greed and throwing early employees under the bus became the norm :-( I guess that's a sign of maturity of our field and an indication for bright people to move on to take risks directly, offer their services to companies as legal persons and ignore startups as employers.
It does make you wonder what the inflation-adjusted figures are purported to mean even, given that they result in completely ridiculous results.

By contrast, an inflation calculator tells me that $100 one hundred years ago is worth around $2,500 now (so 25X). And according to this article https://www.jstor.org/stable/1820827?seq=1#metadata_info_tab... , a pretty typical wage back then was $0.50 per hour. 25X that is $12.50, which sounds about right as a typical median wage nowadays (perhaps a bit low; there is a real increase in standard of living over this time period too). So the inflation figures going back at least a hundred years do make sense. What causes them to break down when you try to go back much farther, then? Are the inflation figures simply wrong? Are there compounding errors that, over enough time, make the result completely ridiculous?

What's funny is that if a modern CEO said something like "We're going to pay our employees better so they can afford our product", it would be immediately seen as self-serving marketing nonsense to hide the actual truth. But the mythical Henry Ford says it, and people believe it. Sigh.
You can't have a free market competition of government services. It's not free market competition when its companies competing over _providing_ a service mandated by law. That can never happen. Just as private prisons can't be free market (providing a service mandated by government law) you can't provide tax services in a free market environment because it's required by law.
I loved many of their individual courses at the beginning but now everything is just bundled into their nanodegree programs.

While Udacity helped kick-start many similar online self-learning business models, but ultimately I believe they failed in their scaling effort.

Their nanodegree programs often feel a little overpriced. I remember their mission was to democratize online education, but at those prices I'm not so sure. I tried it once and their support really left a lot to be desired.

Even in the US, the $35k Model 3 is still somewhat of a mystical creature. I don't believe anyone who has "bought" the car actually received it yet.

Maybe in the next few weeks, the $35k will actually exist and we'll start seeing youtube reviews of the cloth interior (and other cutbacks they've done to get the price lower). But as far as I know, no such review exists yet. It was... what? 4 weeks ago when Tesla started selling the $35k on their website?

And its still not actually around...

As one example, the power loom didn't exist until the late 18th century. Before then, clothing was really expensive because an unbelievable amount of hand labor had to go into it. The average person did not own a lot of clothing, and the clothing they did have cost them relatively a lot of money.
Proof That Office Layout Doesn't Affect Productivity
My problem with it is that there are many scenarios that are fantastic for the founders, but only one (unicorn) that is fantastic for non-founders. You can put in the same long hours, pour your soul into it, take the same risk for years, but if there's an exit event, you'll only be feeding off crumbs while the founders feast on the rewards.
It's "pissing in the pool" for the rest of us. I know it feels validated internally because it worked out for you though.

Even when I did a startup, I held pretty normal hours. Working on someone else's problem to make them rich is silly to me. I think it's something that you either get or you don't. I don't plan to convince you to change sides, but I'd 100% of the time rather spend hours 8 or 9 through 12 working on my own hard problems. They're easy to create. I definitely had more responsibility, did more coding, and felt more energy at a startup than a big corp though. Pay and nearly everything else was shit in comparison.

If someone did 10-12 hour regularly on my current team, we'd be pissed. It would set a new normal and management would think they could start replacing people until they get 10 of those guys that are willing to sit here half the day.
