In France, the question of financing the reconstruction is rather simpler: Notre-Dame like most churches in France is owned by the State, so the State and the citizens will pay for it.

The reconstruction will be a restoration, to what degree, it remains to be seen, for example Reims Cathedral roof was rebuilt using concrete for the structure, but the general appearance will remain the same.

The symbolic is rather different that of the Reichtag, the Reichtag being the symbol of a new state in the XIXe century, destroyed during its darkest hour, and finally reconstructed after the rebirth of Germany and the Reunification with a mix of old and new, By itself the Reichtag summarizes German history.
Right, and races between mutually disinterested market participants aren't frontrunning, which is what I assume the subtext of that comment was.
>makes it impossible for firemen to work in the area. They can't exactly run in with masks and have tanks of oxygen strapped to their backs.

I always thought fire fighters do that routinely: breathe from tanks of either oxygen or oxygen mixed with other gases.
I don't deny that the root cause of this issue is lack of supply. I'm saying that over short time periods (and sometimes over long ones where NIMBY policies rule), lack of housing supply is a given, and so the consequence of more money for housing is not more housing, it's higher housing prices.

1% of the population being flush with cash has virtually no effect on a housing market where 5% of the housing stock turns over every year. It has a very large effect when < 1% of the housing stock turns over. If people start seeing an effect, they have every incentive not to turn their house over while its value is still going up. Right now, Mountain View has 111 homes for sale in a city of 80,000. Sunnyvale has 156 in a city of 150,000. Cupertino has 56 in a city of 40,000, San Francisco has 706 in a city of a million.

Realistically, if these big tech companies offered full remote work (which they actually do, if you've been at the company long enough, but a relatively small portion of the employees meet the tenure & job performance requirements), you wouldn't get 10,000 remote employees in Detroit. You'd get 100,000 remote employees who are free to move around the U.S. to whichever city they prefer most. It's highly likely they will clump in cities that are desirable for techies - Seattle, Portland, Boulder, Austin, Boston, NYC, Pittsburgh, Raleigh-Durham. All except the last 2 are already getting their own version of a mini-housing-crisis, but not to the extent that the Bay Area is.
Where did I say an HOA is a luxury? I said not everyone has the luxury of being able to avoid HOAs.
You should check out Prepar3D, it isn't cheap, but is focused on realism.
I think many people interpret your comment as devaluing the choice that some people make to take such risks.

If your argument is that we shouldn't criticize people for choosing not risk their for inanimate objects, can you point to such criticism in this thread? I haven't seen any.
Of course they were. The key point is the Nuremberg trials are legal trials, supposedly fair and Geneva convention friendly way to punish the loosing side one Japan escaped
I saw multiple space shuttle launches in person, and this article captures it pretty well. The visuals are spectacular, but the sound... I thought I knew what to expect but it's just indescribable.

If you can go see a launch in person, do it. It's the most amazing thing I've ever witnessed in person.
I think it goes beyond the scientific press. There seems to be a general tendency to squash the intricacies of anything and react impulsively to some red herring or whatever; such comments dominate all online forums I've ever seen.

Here is a fantastically interesting article that maybe has some new insight on the nature of spacetime; top comment on HN thread about it is some person loudly and incredibly pretentiously mistaking their own misunderstanding of the intricacies of 'truth' in science (and how there are different levels) for some flaw in the work itself.

You know, the underlying sentiment here is a good one. How do we know what we know, what do our theories really tell us, etc. All excellent questions. But you didn't express that at all, instead you say these things shouldn't be 'touted as discoveries about the real world.'

That's all you man! No theorist ever has wanted people to think this of their work, it slaughters the beautiful intricacies of it and leads to public relations disasters like this.

Don't go misunderstanding shit and then confidently be blaming it on other people man. Rhetoric matters.

The whole "it's just a theory" thing has done so much harm to public understanding and appreciation. It's an impossible starting point for a conversation, if you think "it's just a theory", you're not wrong, as much as entirely missing the point. How do you start with that and get to an understanding that things aren't always absolutely right or wrong, that contexts and assumptions matter, that things can be true in one setting (the math) and uncertain in another (the real world). That for most things what we are more than anything is uncertain. That there are many different kinds of uncertainty.

How are the subtle intricacies of things (that the answer to almost everything starts with "well, that depends...") supposed to survive forums where conversations are heavily selected for ability to grab attention? Not a rhetorical question, if you got ideas I want to hear them.

PS noobermin, I don't mean to be overly-critical of you although it sure sounds like it. I'm using 'you the pronoun'. Just something I think about a lot that you catalyzed me into trying to express...
FWIW Apple encrypts all the data with your encryption key. So even if you swapped it out with a consumer solution like Dropbox that wouldn't make it less secure. It would make it more expensive for Apple to maintain that connection & increased customer support since people would complain to Apple when Dropbox had an issue.
Powerpoint was one of the problems.

A much worse problem was NASA's management stepping in to block multiple requests for imaging the orbiter.

"Nothing lasts forever" is technically true, but I'm sure I don't need to point out how useless this statement is when it comes to making decisions. In situations like this fire, responders need to balance their own assessment of personal risk against the value of saving a given inanimate object.

Some people will categorically shy away from any perceived risk to their own safety, even if the estimated chance of saving a valuable object is very high. At the other extreme, some people would endure suffering and death to save what they recognize as priceless artifacts of history and culture.
VSCode does seem to fit that (increasingly less of a) niche for writing JS with IDE features, but it really feels out-of-place as a C++ IDE.
How to push parameters into methods without parameters in safe code
Oh awesome. I found concaternative languages when I was trying to learn Forth last year. Forth was almost scary with how little syntax there is. Not even Lisp really felt like that. Types felt a great thing to get a bit more stability into it all. Really love how concat langs feel like a mid point of performance - lisp - static types. Are still very new to them of course but will continue to try to learn about them.

I found Kitten then too. Didn't realized until the end of the article that this was it's creator. Really interesting post and glad to hear it might come more. Magnet sounds really interesting. Will certainly check it out.

It's not so much that there weren't scandals.

It's more about a press corps that let Obama get away with things they would have never given somebody like Trump a pass for.

For example, look at the press reaction to Obama refusing to prosecute CIA torture vs. Trump nominating one of the career officials Obama previously gave a pass to to head up the CIA.

Likewise, I doubt we would give Trump a pass for attempting to move due process free prisons like Gitmo onto American soil.
As a k programmer myself I'd say to take that statement with a grain of salt and at least give the language a chance if you have some spare time. It's certainly true that the community is small and it's certainly true that there are plenty of really sharp programmers in the community but that doesn't mean that you need to be a genius to write k code.

I thought SFFD was some brand used by the French, but of course it's just USA-centric naming. (Took me forever to understand BART and I still have to look up name-based time zones like MST, which, no, thanks Wikipedia, is not Malaysia Standard Time at +8 but Mountain time at -7.)

For anyone else confused: this earthquake was in San Francisco and this is about their Fire Department. It doesn't mean that French fire trucks have that capability 30 years later.
Sure, but it's nice to see the premise borne out by the early data:

The students’ scores reflect their performance on the Measures of Academic Progress assessment, a nationally recognized test administered by NWEA, an evaluation association. In reading, where both classes had scored in the lowest, or first, percentile, third graders moved to the ninth percentile, and fourth graders to the 16th. In math, third graders jumped from the lowest percentile to the 18th, while fourth graders moved from the second percentile to the 30th.

The 90 percent of I Promise students who met their goals exceeded the 70 percent of students districtwide, and scored in the 99th growth percentile of the evaluation association’s school norms, which the district said showed that students’ test scores increased at a higher rate than 99 out of 100 schools nationally.
Ask HN: How do you identify your life goals?
Yes, it's velocity sensitive. The keys are quite sensitive, more like a keyboard than an electric piano (coming from an electric piano as I am, it's easy to play a note unexpectedly loud, but I think that's not hard to get used to). The different keycaps for each note feel a bit different from each other as the leverage angle is slightly different.

I should note that I have yet to try the MIDI capabilities. I didn't have a MIDI-capable computer in my lounge until I recently acquired a USB adaptor, and I haven't dug out my MIDI cables yet.

There were a number of things they could have tried. No one of the alternatives (except launching a rescue shuttle) could possibly have turned out worse than the course they chose. Instead of an Apollo-13 style "Failure is not an option" effort, Jon Harpold, then the director of Mission Operations, is reported to have said

"You know, there is nothing we can do about damage to the thermal protection system. If it has been damaged it's probably better not to know. I think the crew would rather not know. Don't you think it would be better for them to have a happy successful flight and die unexpectedly during entry than to stay on orbit, knowing that there was nothing to be done, until the air ran out?"

Ask HN: Are you using Google Cloud in production?
I have been asking various people I know about their experience with GCP vs. AWS.

Non issue. Of course. Just put in a limit order and be done with it. If you are really scrapping pennies in front of steam rollers you should find another gig because algos will eat you up.
Is "thermal load" in this sentence an elaborate term for "heat", or is there more nuance that I'm missing?

I was a "picky eater" who "threw tantrums" when I was a kid. In college I ate every other day because food made me feel so shitty. Should I never talk about my food-related autoimmune issues because I had the money to go to college? Discussion forums are importantly open to anyone who has a related experience. It sounds like a concerning issue because they stated that their kid is 18" shorter than their peers. I'm glad they posted because in the off chance that their kid is celiac, this comment could change their life (regardless of how much money their parents make).

Celiac's bodies attack themselves when they eat gluten. This ends up wrecking the small intestine and can lead to nutrients not being absorbed. It also gave me awful sinus headaches which is why (until I became more aware of it) I was incredibly averse to food.

How about System for maintaning Characteristics, Augmentating of Manuevering (SCAM)
A lot of people, including the author of Flash Boys, would dispute how narrow that definition is. You don't need a client for there to be a systemic problem with trading on everyone else's advance information when the advance information is the buy order itself.

Wikipedia states, for instance:
>Front running, also known as tailgating, is the prohibited practice of entering into an equity (stock) trade, option, futures contract, derivative, or security-based swap to capitalize on advance, nonpublic knowledge of a large pending transaction that will influence the price of the underlying security.

No client needed.
Organized religion and specifically Christianity have provided moral and organizational structures that have enriched human existence, knowledge and expression, perhaps more than any other force besides free market capitalism. The Catholic Church isn’t flawless, but its benefits to the human race far outweigh its costs.

I’m an unbending agnostic, but I sometimes feel like I should go to church anyway, just to contribute to the social capital that Christianity generates.
In the case that they also run the exchange where they are making the market, they most certainly do have clients.
A large investment bank Knight Trading would queue orders after the market closes, and then in the morning they had software that would insert their own buy/sell orders based on what was sitting in the queue from the previous night. Doing this they were guaranteed to make a certain amount of profit every day, and from what I was told it was perfectly legal.
This illustrates that parents are the key component in childhood education. A worse than average teacher who teaches kids with involved parents will outperform the best teacher with uninvolved parents.

In addition, LeBron James has a huge amount of credibility built up with the students. I would guess that many of the students feel some sort of connection to him, and do not want to disappoint him.
The obvious question is: "Isn't that what a domain is for?"

And the answer is a lot of the New Famous don't have domains to list canonical social media profiles on. They exist solely on silos like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram with no way to connect to their fanbase without it.
How can the treatment of prisoners prove to be fatal without that treatment rising to the level of torture?

Oh, I was confused by your comment at first. I was looking for the reference to the academic/scientific paper in your comment but got to the end and wondered if the comment was truncated or something.

> On my HN profile itself you can find my signatures on Keybase.

Yup I did:

> Just for starters, allowing your well-being [to be] dependent on being above some level in some social hierarchy is hardly considered being self-reliant.

It may be hard for some not to lump self-reliance (aka. being autonomous) and hierarchy-consciousness (to coin a word) together; which is where the third paragraph of my original comment comes into picture (something you seem to have ignored[1]).

---

[1] I can guess it because of this:

> [slothtrop]: 0 people are entirely self-reliant [in affective context] in the literal sense.

As a matter of fact I know at least 6 people who fit that description.

And:

> [Mr. Peterson]: I’m saying it is inevitable that there will be continuities in the way that animals and human beings organize their [hierarchical] structures. It’s absolutely inevitable, and there is one-third of a billion years of evolutionary history behind that … It’s a long time. You have a mechanism in your brain that runs on serotonin that’s similar to the lobster mechanism that tracks your status—and the higher your status, the better your emotions are regulated. So as your serotonin levels increase you feel more positive emotion and less negative emotion.

I know at least 6 people for whom it is not (anymore) "absolutely inevitable".
I understood atleast a couple of those words
The problem with the DMCA is that the platform has to immediately take down the content or they lose the protective aspect of the DMCA- I think (though not a lawyer) that more or less any analysis immediately strips protection.

Essentially the belief is that DMCA would never be abused for any reason so you need to penalize the platform but not the submitter.
I'm a big Gilliam fan, but in my opinion his movies have gotten worse and worse since Time Bandits, Brazil, 12 Monkeys, and The Fisher King.

There's something of his charming sensibility in even the worst of his films, and they're worth watching for die-hard Gilliam fans like myself, but even the best of his later films (like the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus) are a pale shadow of the brilliance of his early output.
Yes, you lose your old emails if you reset password on ProtonMail.
In a forth-like language, you can think of all functions as implicitly being unary: They take a stack, and return a stack.

I've never used any other kind of concatenative language, so I'm less able to speak to them, but I'm guessing some similar situation applies for those as well.
We probably should have all the major execs sitting on death row for the deaths "caused" by leaded fuel belching out of cars with no emissions controls at all.

Personally I hope it goes away. I would like to see Google focus on enabling bloggers and site creators to host their own sites and work to build and automate open source projects into their cloud products. There are so many static site frameworks for bloggers at this point that it would be ideal for them to do something similar to Netlify and work on great themes for Hugo or other static site generators.

It is simple. Code is one thing and data is another thing; you can mix arbitrary code with arbitrary data but the result might not make sense!

Neurotypicals have a hard time with this kind of contradiction and will try one simplistic answer that almost works and then try a different one and then go back to the old one and eventually they will get interested in something else then give up.

For instance, it makes sense to strip the data out of a jupyter notebook before checking in. You can version manage the code that way. However, people also really want to look at the notebook in github and see the analysis, the data, the results.
I've used Blogger on a semi-regular basis, say, once a month for countless years. It still receives occasional updates every now and then, last time last year if I remember correctly. So there's certainly maintenance crew assigned to it, even some new features have been added. I do agree that it's a pretty niche product in their lineup these days.

Exactly, you need a toaster oven (pref an IR one) with an accurate temp control that will run a temperature profile that matches the solder used on the board ... in particular it needs to bring the temp of the board to just below the solder melting point and soak the board so it's all at that temp, then quickly spike the temp over the melting point so it all melts at once, otherwise you put silly stress on everything as some stuff melts and some doesn't and you risk tombstoning and other evils

So don't just stick stuff in your oven
> Many years ago I was big into X-Plane. But it seems like so much of the development and community is focused on making the graphics as pretty as possible, instead of making the flying as realistic as possible. I'd easily take the tradeoff of rudimentary graphics with incredibly realistic controls and aircraft behavior over rich landscapes and fancy liveries......

This is not the case at all. The flight model is pretty good. The bundled aircraft may not be as good. But is that really a surprise?

There are many third party vendors with realistic aircraft. Try Airfoilab's Cessna 172, or Zibo Mod (free) for the 737, to name two.

Agree, at the moment Lambda doesn't quite make it for directly calling RDS DBs, because of the connection problem and because your DB should be in a VPC, which has horrendous cold start implications for Lambda (it needs to attach an ENI in the invoke path, which takes many seconds).

Re: the connection issue, it would be great if there were a service or RDS feature that could do the DB connection pooling behind a standard AWS API, so that we don't have manage connections in Lambda and so that we can query the DB from public internet with standard AWS auth without having to expose the DB itself.
If the UN has defined it as torture, then I feel reasonably confident saying it's "legitimate torture".

Yes, I'm sure many people have been "more tortured" by the US government (or other governments) than Chelsea Manning -- but it doesn't change the fact she was tortured.
you can only do that with IPFS keys that are aliased with IPNS which is equivalent to a BEP-46 mutable DHT key.
