The nuclear powered jet engine technically did work both the Russians and the US worked on it and had what you can call a functional prototype; however irradiating the sky wasn’t a good idea after all, it required a normal engine to take off and with the development of aerial refueling and much more efficient jet engines the loitering time you get form superheating air using a nuclear reactor instead of burning fuel just bring enough of an advantage to make up for the cost, complexity and the risk.

That said at least for the US the nuclear jet was developed into the liquid metal cooled reactors that became the first submarine nuclear reactors to be deployed https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-cooled_fast_reactor

The US navy stopped using sodium reactors once the small pressurized water reactors have been developed.

After reading this thread I checked my spam and it seems google has gotten way more aggressive in the past ~ 6 months when it comes to spam. They are mass mailers and advertisements but they are moving items that I want -- legitimate subscriptions and people I do business with are ending up in spam. Never experienced such a high failure rate before and I have had gmail for about 15 years.
i manage a lot of teams in a remote site, here are my thoughts, it starts with leadership at the remote site, make sure this person and you are aligned, to build alignment, trust goes a long way, but in the absence of trust, since that takes time to build, make sure your goals (short and long term) are clearly stated and known to him/her and that they can convey that message to the team. at that number, also make sure that the next level managers are getting the right message.

face to face is always best, zoom is great, wiki pages, etc.
Actually it's a great question, because it clearly tells you that you don't want to work there and especially with/for the questioner.

I remember years ago, being asked by some doofus in an interview about efficient 8086 code to divide by some constant (I don't remember). He wanted some magic trick which only worked for that value.

I was trying to escape from a really horrible employer at that time but am still thankful I didn't end up working at that place instead.
They terminate customer accounts in the same way for no reason so this certainly shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Amazon is simply too big to care about people whether they be customers let alone employees.

Ask HN: Self-employed, what do you do with your tax money?
I guess this might be a bit US-based?

I've been considering what to do with the money I'm setting aside for my quarterly self-employment taxes.

My initial thought is to toss it into a high-yield savings account so that it can make the LLC a few bucks while it's sitting around for the year.

What does everyone else do?
Interesting. That make sense but is very counterintuitive.

I've always wondered why a lab has been hounding me to pay a $5 bill when insurance paid them like 99% of the bill. (I refuse to pay them because they only take check via mail--I've offered credit card, PayPal, venmo, et cetera...hoping to make things better for the next person). This explains why they care about getting paid the $5--so they can't be accused of insurance fraud. Anyway, this is just more evidence of how our whole health insurance industry needs a big refactor/replace.

IP addresses are really insignificant in spam detection because spammers can easily switch to a new IP address.

Like with Google's search algorithm, the spam detection algorithms are secret and evolve constantly. So I'm not claiming I know how the algorithm works, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if IP addresses aren't even used anymore in Google's spam detection.

So no, you are not 'shitlisted' as you called it. There are no lists, there are only algorithms.

>simple SSH server on a nonstandard port, maybe with some port knocking if you think you might be scanned or targeted by accessing from the offending country will do the trick just fine, keeping things reaaaally low profile.

You can decide to let wealth be a prison or not.

What's the point of freedom if I'm not free to force any random person obey my every word?
If I bought 10 McDonald's franchises today, my expenses would be higher than my revenue for probably the entire first year if not more.

If things are going well, and I make another bet by buying 10 more, my expenses would continue being higher than my revenue (even if the first 10 stores become profitable).

If I keep doing this, I may not show a profit on my balance sheet for a long time.

This example illustrates why "expenses are higher than revenue" doesn't reveal anything and that such a simplistic picture of a business is useless.

Thanks! With front squats can you just drop it, or do you need to jump as well? A friend had recommended those as being safer on the back.

My worry is I won't really need the safeties until I have 200+ pounds on my back and if I exit wrong I could hurt myself. I tried practicing at the gym but it was very loud and the staff warned me not to.
...the innovation is a consistent more reliable and timely experience, consistent across geographies, where it did not exist before.

McDonalds didn’t have the first burger franchise, the innovation is very much in the reliability of an experience that is a better fit for the needs of the consumer than the alternatives.

I too avoided booking taxis due to bad dispatchers, even though I’m sure some good dispatchers existed in some areas. That doesn’t really do you any good when the use case for a taxi is generally that you need a car in a place that is not your home, and so you are unfamiliar with the area.

Uber not only gave you a reliable dispatcher, they show you with GPS that the taxi on the way, which greatly improves consumer confidence that yes, the ride really is on its way. If that existed pre-Uber for some areas, it hardly matters if you never visit the area and so don’t know about it’s existence.
I doubt the poster you’re replying to based their post on much of anything at all. It reads like a classic ego stroke.

Yeah I agree. Adding to that, there's a sort of nationalistic competition driving the bias as well. The united states was top dog in terms of GDP, the trend towards china unseating that throne in the coming years drives a lot of this dissonance.

> how many claims of Revolutionary New Battery Technology (for instance) are we going to get before we get a truly revolutionary new battery tech

We've already got lots of revolutionary new battery technologies. Just, none of them are optimized for the consumer-electronics usage profile (and, in fact, the "revolutionary" part of them isn't that they're better in all ways than existing battery tech, but rather that they allow for trade-offs we weren't previously able to make.) Such advances are already revolutionizing cubesats, supercapacitors, etc.
Agreed, though it's a lot easier for bad practice to happen with JavaScript than a lot of other languages, and frameworks like this (hopefully) will make for a larger 'pit of success'.

Re: Windows 10, I've found the LTSC (formerly LTSB) version to be much more tolerable. Still bloated compared to, say, Windows 2000/XP, but much better than even Windows 7, let alone 8/8.1 or non-LTSC 10.
Even more concerning is the belief that the ability to speak one's mind should be dependent on some arbitrary metric of "success".
Right, and all of it at every level contributes inertia to the dollar, and the cumulative total inertia "backs" the dollar.

> A Clockwork Orange was, however, a box office success in the US and was nominated for the Oscar for best picture in 1972 (losing to The French Connection).

The original release in the US in 1972 was rated X. It's one of only two X-rated films to receive a nomination, the other being "Midnight Cowboy."

Performance is very similar to my header-only version of the Abseil's hash tables available at https://github.com/greg7mdp/parallel-hashmap.
Ah, yes, I can see how that would be confusing.

I never bought into all the credit union jargon ("share," "share draft", etc.) so I forgot they pay "dividends" instead of "interest."

In short, I believe this is the way it works: because credit union members are owners of the credit union, the profit paid to members are considered dividends by dictionary definition, however, the IRS considers them interest by their rules. Just like VA disability, getting a check from the government every month is obviously income, but the IRS doesn't consider VA disability income by their rules.
He said “considering”. And funding secured just meant he had discussed it favorably with financiers.

One of the big factors behind this is that the cost of pipeline stalls in a theoretically good algorithm can significantly exceed the cost of extra comparisons.

Whether that is true depends on a combination of how much data you have, what kind of data you have, and your programming language's low-level representation.

For ints in C++ and a list of 20 elements, it will be reliably true. For strings in Perl with a list of 500 elements, it reliably won't be true.

> McDonalds didn’t have the first burger franchise,

So saying "the innovation is in the franchise" wouldn't make sense, right?

> That doesn’t really do you any good when the use case for a taxi is generally that you need a car in a place that is not your home, and so you are unfamiliar with the area.

The use case for a taxi is surely dominated by when you need a car but can't or don't want to drive? I've definitely taken more taxis near my home than away from it, purely because I'm here more often.

> Uber not only gave you a reliable dispatcher, they show you with GPS that the taxi on the way, which greatly improves consumer confidence that yes, the ride really is on its way. If that existed pre-Uber for some areas, it hardly matters if you never visit the area and so don’t know about it’s existence.

This seems like an odd description of innovation to me. "I didn't know about it so it's innovative"?

Remember, innovation is not the same as value. I'm not saying it doesn't add value to have these services elsewhere, but that the app is not innovative simply because it was not new.
Defamation is really hard to prove in court

In the days of old. Over Twitter, it can be a lot easier. It's not only public, it's a written record.

I'm curious what specific damages the person is claiming against his livelihood as a result of a tweet...

Certain subject areas are considered per se defamation in many jurisdictions. You don't have to prove the damages. The damage is assumed. Pedophilia is one such subject area.

Basically, Musk acts like someone who doesn't know much about the law.

While not really discussed in the article, it's interesting to look for instance at Robin Wall Kimmerer's "language of animacy". She makes the point that the pronouns used to refer to people vs objects influence the directions your scientific thoughts may go, because of fundamental assumptions carried in the form of address. Her language is Potawatomi if I remember.

The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis remains controversial, but it's a well-known linguistic hypothesis that language available influences thought.

(Totally different and yet related: Heard Kimmerer on a podcast recently and she proposed something I don't even have words for. We created neural networks inspired by the way we understand mammalian brains to work, right? But plant communities have a distributed chemical method of communicating and 'learning', across organisms rather than within one. What would the machine learning equivalent of that be?)

This take on Calvin is inaccurate:

Under contention, a Calvin-based system will behave similarly to others which use optimistic locking schemes for Serializable isolation such as Postgres, or YB itself. There are advantages to the Calvin approach as well. For example, under Calvin, the system doesn't have to write out speculative intents to all data replicas in order to detect contention: The only writes to data storage are successful ones. The original paper only describes this briefly, but you can read about how FaunaDB has implemented it in more detail: https://fauna.com/blog/consistency-without-clocks-faunadb-tr...

It's also not a stretch to see how the protocol described in that post can be extended to support session transactions: Rather than executing a transaction per request, the transaction context is maintained for the life of the session and then dispatched to Calvin on commit. (This is in fact how we are implementing it in our SQL API feature.)

I would instead say that one of the more significant differences between Calvin and Spanner is the latter's much stricter requirements it places on its hardware (i.e. clock accuracy) in order to maintain its correctness guarantees; a weakness its variants also share.

Odd, Kaiser in CA was willing to send a secure email (I assume that meant an email containing a web link) with my vaccination history when I started grad school at NYU in 2015.

To your larger point of what a mess this is, though: NYU refused to accept a vaccination history that didn't have a "doctor's stamp" on it so wouldn't take the email. After unsuccessfully trying to get a doctor to sign off on my vaccination history, I realized it would be easier to just get re-immunized. Luckily the health center charged less than $100 for that, but the whole thing was still way more annoying than it should have been.
As soon as "success" implies piggy backing on the work of employees and capital of investor, there appears this weird stuff so many wealthy people are not used to, that is called "responsibility".

Please don't call T. A success. In hard facts, the tower was it and all the rest failed.

Yes, he earns money with the T. Name ( ongoing - i think revenue will slide a lot in 2 years) and yes, the presidency is not finished yet ( = also ongoing and I expect lawsuits after it).

Also, the Apprentice was self produced ( fake it till you make it) and I wouldn't know what other success he could have had. Burning bridges for the US and self-enrichment ( cfr. ZTE and Ivanka T. In China) doesn't seem very respectful to me.

Ps. Former Foursquare had analytics that the T. Named buildings had a lot less visitors.
Two points:

1) I am 100% in alignment that companies should NOT IPO with losses. With no evidence or education to back on this, I'll just say I feel the opportunity for non-professional investors to put money into such unstable companies is an enormous risk - not just for themselves, but the economy as a whole. Maybe there needs to be a separate market for loss-leader investing.

2) With SAAS companies in particular, adjusting for profit can be easy and it boggles my mind they don't know this or are too egotistical to believe they should.

Slack's pricing model is way too expensive and their 1:6 Paid-to-Unpaid user ratio is evidence of that. They could easily merge their two paid tiers so paid accounts have a fuller product offering than the free version AND drop the price. If they convert half of their non-paid users through pricing adjustments they could be making a PROFIT without adding any additional expense.
I'm flabbergasted that there are some people who don't consider this immediately obvious.
Yeah just had to say something because it was 100% opposite from my experience. Like they literally hammered everything he claims business people lack into our heads ;)
