I thought of the scene in the old Adam West Batman movie where Batman reconstitutes dehydrated bad guys with heavy water and they are unable to take their feet off the floor (because they’re so heavy).

Batman’s scientific content wasn’t all that high.
Google says there is only 2.8g of protein per 100g of brocoli, which doesn't seem to be particularly noteworthy as vegetables go?

Edamame beans have 11g per 100g - I wonder if that makes economic sense?
I had some trouble earlier with people uploading dumb images, so in order to upload images now, you need to verify your email address. There should be messaging at the bottom of the screen and I probably need to make that design clearer.

Because it's difficult to distinguish between executive leadership trying to efficiently return money to shareholders vs propping up the share price so that they see a personal benefit via their own shares increasing or via contractual bonuses.

Given that there's an incentive to spend other peoples money(shareholders who bought shares) to increase their own(via bonuses, salary, or granted shares) it's fairly safe to assume that execs are following the incentive
Spatial diversity does more than help with multi-path issues. It multiplies your available bandwidth by sub-dividing the space around the base-station.
We have been using Tuple for little over a month now. While it is still in beta they are making amazing strides in a short period of time to bring us the tool that we have been wanting for such a long long time.

I had written an article about the missing tool in the pair programming market when Slack killed Screenhero and didn't fully support its features. The pickings were slim back then. (https://medium.com/codingzeal/a-guide-to-remote-pair-program...)

Here is a follow up article that I wrote about Tuple once we had put some time into using it along with an update or two. (https://medium.com/codingzeal/tuple-the-new-hero-of-pair-pro...)
I wonder if the API could be expanded to accept any type that implements `Borrow<T>`, like `HashMap::get`. Then both `5` and `&5` could work.

Why is the exhaust velocity constant? I would naively expect the engine to impart roughy equal energy into each atom, so that lighter atoms would be faster. But I know little of the specifics of ion engines.
The article is more about how “500-1000 people per year (<400 tourists, plus hired staff)” is “crowded” for that mountain or particular route.

Considering the population of Earth, the scale of human cities, the permanent settlements and residents along the path, and other such factors: yes, that is precisely what I mean.
Physician, heal thyself. You're contributing to (what you see as) flamebait just as much as I was. At least I made a relevant suggestion (people vs. platforms). Also, IIRC the mods take a dim view of people presuming to do their jobs, especially when they do so selectively and aggressively. It's a form of stalking.
Right. Wouldn't it be great if Google would start paying a dividend instead of throwing away money on goofy acquisitions like Boston Dynamics? How the hell is a robot dog that does flips or whatever supposed to improve their advertising business exactly? Give me a break.

I am on HN mainly for the comments.

The way I usually learn about interesting threads (which I mostly like to read after a while so they have enough comments) is the HackerNewsletter[0].

Also (shameless plug), I built AskHN Digest[1], a weekly recap of the top threads of AskHN with their top comments, to make sure I don't miss any good content from the section. Many times the comments there have been insightful and made it worth visiting the thread after a while, when most people had the chance to comment on it.

"The first thing that makes me respect Murray is that unlike all his contemporaries, including Feynman, Weinberg, Hawking, and all the other particle physicists, he saw that complexity is the next big problem. The kind of breakthroughs he made in the early 1960s in terms of impact on the world of science are not going to get made in that domain, they are going to get made in this domain. Murray recognized that, and has become more than just conversant with what's going on and with what the problems are." - J. Doyne Farmer [0].

Last month, there was a neat discussion of Murray Gell-Man's idea on plectics: the study of simplicity and complexity [1]. He definitely influenced my views on systems theory. Thank you and rest in peace.

It's also a more tax efficient way of distributing returns to shareholders than dividends. GP does not know what he's talking about.
Yes, that's standard practice. Even hobbyists like me do it.

Also, any good hacker would be sure to leave behind multiple access paths. But maybe a professional hacker would refrain from dumping stuff, because that alerts the target. So the dump implies that they're not very professional.
Screenhero co-founder here.

Serious question: if I were to make a Screenhero successor, would you pay to use it, or are the current alternatives (Tuple / UseTogether) good enough for your use case?
Sadly, so called "progressive" California passed a state law that overrode local laws in cities such as SF and Berkeley that taxed sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) such as Coke and Gaterade.

Taxing SSBs is the method recommended by public health experts to help to lower obesity. Unfortunately the California state government was influenced by the beverage industry to override the local laws.
This is probably the biggest threat ever to autocratic governments worldwide - government independent communication. Whereas conventional broadband and cell requires government sanction (to build towers, control frequency bands, build infrastructure, censor messages) and conventional communication requires physical meeting and distribution, Starlink breaks their grip hold. If people everywhere have unrestricted access to a market driven www without being limited by autocratic governments and dictators, communication and rallying together will proceed unimpeded. Starlink should be setup with absolute transparency.
We meet so many interesting people in our lives - but more often than not, we find it difficult to stay in touch with those people, and our relationships drift apart.

Yeah this. There are two things that work in our favor, one is that Falcon Heavy can (in theory) launch more quickly. And second, the mass needed to achieve a similar capability is greatly reduced due to materials technology.

The only missing piece is that it would be nice to use cryogenic fuels but these outgas over time so long duration is not a thing. Solving the on-orbit refueling puzzle would make this sort of endeavor pretty straight forward from a planning standpoint.
Idealizing Duterte, Kim Jong Un, and the leaders of Russia and Saudia Arabia and creating concentration camps for kids while shitting all over our friendly democratic leaders from UK, France, Canada seems like a good start at becoming a dicator. What makes other presidents more dictatorial, I'd like to know.
...it was supposed to get them into the highly lucrative world of military contracting. But then it caused too much of a PR stink, so they had to back off from that idea.
That's assuming false beliefs act as economic hindrances - this is not necessarily the case. Global warming comes to mind, and pretty much anything else that's an externality on an international level - deforestation, pollution, overfishing... Believing that the best contraception is abstention, and no other method should be taught, will result in increased fertility due to all the unplanned pregnancies, causing the group with that belief to grow faster than groups using effective contraception.

Truth and Darwinian utility are correlated, but they are not the same.
Let’s not rush into careless generalizations. I have few alpine goats and they are gentle and kind. Never had sheep for comparison.
I am embedded within an operational unit. It's a mixed blessing of sorts, but one of the advantages is that, knowing the operational side very well, something like the referral fee issue in the article would occurr to me pretty quickly. Although the downside of a semi decentralized arrangement like this is communication silos that must be actively dealt with to prevent fragmentation of purpose.
Which should also happen if the video is being played locally, which is why I was confused.

Either Youtube caches the video data, in which case seeking should be as fast as offline players, or Youtube discards the data, in which case it has to be downloaded again. It certainly seems to me like Youtube is discarding the data. I wish they didn't do that.
Can't be served a warrant. Arguably superior physical security. Can have line of sight comms with the entire region, which are both more direct and have faster signal speeds than fiber.

For certain global applications, a low orbit cloud consisting of many datacenters has some advantages. The virtual servers could virtually migrate to "hover" wherever they are needed, or to wherever would minimize latency.
If everyone stops climbing it, who are we saving it for? Who is going to see the natural wonder? I certainly agree that we should do the best we can to preserve it and others like it, but it doesn't really make sense to say, well no one should go there so that it stays nice. Who cares if it's nice if no one can go there?
It's hilarious that someone can look at the data about man-made CO2 emissions and still be a denier. WTF
I hurt my hands a few weeks ago so I've been pairing out of necessity and I can't believe that it took me this long (10+ years) to get on the pairing train.

Just got access tuple about a week ago. Worked really well, I plan on trying to remote pair a lot more for OSS issues in the future.
Thanks Al Gore!
The onus is on the person making the claim to bring evidence to the discussion.

Since the comment was removed or deleted it originally said something like "Underwater volcanoes are the cause of Climate Change -- prove me wrong"
The idea of enforcing unique usernames kinda sucks, and so does trying to add people to a contact list by searching for and entering usernames.

This is, of course, how it’s always been done. But need it be?

If you’re bootstrapping off of your existing Twitter/Facebook/Whatever I would assume Oauth could get you the ability to discover friends on the network without ever having a “username” to enter.

If you’re making a new friend on the spot it’s a QR code or Bluetooth or Ultrasonic handshake between the devices?

If you’re making a new friend online I’d rather send them a peergos://<base56>/invite via SMS or Email or whatever other chat program we’re using. Tap and it should app switch right over to a screen showing their contact info with the “Friend” or “Add” button right there.

iOS will convert a webpage link into a preview of the page. I wonder if you could use that functionality to make sharing an invite link via SMS on iOS preview the actual contact page. I don’t know if iOS will let installed third party apps provide a preview bubble for link/protocols they’ve registered to handle.

OT: Shouldn’t the name just be PeerGo? Or really, Peer.
Technically speaking, you might enter into a contract with the power company. The 'negotiation' probably goes like this:
Power Company: "You'll pay public rates on the same terms as literally every other customer"
Your Company: "Deal!"
Why the correlation with CO2 levels then?

RSA with keys less than 1024 bits long is not considered to be secure against classical attack, so SSL/HTTPS is presumably not using such key lengths. The construction in the paper still takes hours on 1024 bits, therefore it will not break SSL/HTTPS in minutes.

If you were to, very inadvisably, use RSA with 128 bit long keys (maybe that's what they were asking?) then yes it would take minutes. But you can already break such keys in minutes using classical computers.
Not to mention the amount of human art data the model is likely based on anyway.
I think the wider point here is made where the author mentions that the large company was really a collection of medium sized businesses.
That's really depressing that you think that way. That way of thinking is pretty dangerous. I know it's a "slippery slope", but thinking that certain people shouldn't express their opinions on things in a public place goes against everything the internet gave us so many years ago.
You can definitely find certain items/dishes where it is cheaper to buy already made instead of making yourself - rotisserie chickens in the US are a perfect example of that. On the whole, though, cooking at home is less expensive than eating out.
Everyone who gets vaccinated dies. Prove me wrong.
It's interesting to read an article and come to HN hoping to find more interesting comments only to find one thread with stupid memes.

Is this the largest ever because we're just starting to be able to map this type of stuff or have we seen a lot of them and this is enormous?
This does seem like the natural next step, given the existing bans on whispering and curtains.
I don't know if it's correct to characterize Github's model as a power grab. The design of Github definitely pushes things in a more centralized direction, but I think that approach is superior in many cases and it's not purely for profit.

For many projects, having a single "canonical" version is the best experience for both users of the project and developers. Linux is large and important enough that it may make sense to have many different distros running a slightly different set of patches and accept the overhead of managing multiple sources of truth. For smaller projects with more narrow contributor bases, it would be noisy and confusing.
Not responsible, but "contributing to". It's a natural process of the earth, but I don't deny we're rapidly accelerating it out of control.
Jotting down on paper is not the same as aggregated and uploaded to an open ftp server.
I can't stand Coke Zero myself, better maybe, but still very weird aftertaste. I like those V8 Vanilla Raspberry energy drinks and I thought they were made with real sugar, until I added a can of it to a smoothie with real fruit.

"Strange, my smoothie tastes like it has artificial sugar now" I thought, come to find out they're made with Splenda and I couldn't tell before that.
You may be thinking of Alan Trammel, the shortstop for the Detroit Tigers whose best years were in the 1980s.
I believe this is a holdover from piracy the early 2000s, when file sizes needed to remain small (due to unreliable downloads or the need to fit on a particular piece of physical media) and RAR was a convenient format for generating compressed archives in multiple parts.

Propaganda usually doesn't work or has the opposite effect.

It may be better to pass a law that would link pension of old people to tax paid by young people who have chosen them. This will make having many successful children profitable again. And will restore the role of a family, which is artificially lowered by social services.
Typesetting Markdown – Part 1: Build Script
Yeah, unemployment numbers, like inflation numbers, draws a whole host of crazy ideas, but all can be debunked with a little careful research on the why of things, and by checking some external consequences if these numbers are a lie.

If you want to see something neat, here is a graph from FRED of U1-U6, showing how well correlated they are. You can download the datasets (I have) and fiddle with them.

At the end of the day, U3 is a really good number because it's used internationally and historically, allowing comparisons. The others are nice too, if for nothing else than to counter the people that dislike the definition of U3 and think it's a scam. It's all tracked for all to see.

Certainly, dinosaurs are exciting but I recently blew my kids minds showing them pictures of how large a moose actually are in real life (they seem closer to "small elephant" size than "big deer" size).
Conversely, it could be used as an entirely uncontrollable tool to spread dissent and propaganda. The same issue has played out on the current internet.
Fascinating approach, I wonder if many other things could be tested for in this way.
I think many people, especially developers, often fail to appreciate how much of decisionmaking in organizations is the result of sustained negotiation between groups that have different conceptual models of what the business does. In the OP’s article, what I heard was that his problems mostly resulted from requirements not being developed or understood in a cross-silo approach (plus the not-uncommon estimation miss on bad data sources, but that’s a mechanical estimation issue). The key lesson here, I think, is not “corporations are stupid,” but that “corporations are too complex for linear requirements-gathering to in many cases support.”
There are a large number of different medications that have very different side-effects and effectiveness for different people. If Vyvanse doesn't work for you, talk about what "not working" means to you with your doctor; a good doctor can use that data to inform the decision about what other medications to try.

Personally I've been on adderall for the better part of 20 years. I went through a bunch of different meds after getting a diagnosis and I regularly try other medicaitons (once a year or so) to see if other medications may work better (your body changes over time as does your tolerances).

If you can get by without medication then that's great. For those of us that can't, there is a large number of options.

This is just what it is.

Given an interest rate regime, CFO's will react accordingly and this is that reaction.

Also, it's odd to see dividends and buybacks in the same data.

Finally - both activities are not bad at all. Buybacks are a strong signal to the market the company believes in it's valuation (FYI investors have access to the same 'cheap capital') and dividends are profits getting out.

None of this is bad, but it's going to get hard to get off of the sugar addiction.
> Well a bubble is an imagined abstraction. Like most abstractions, it doesn't actually exist. Its just a way to simplify things. Also, there isn't a clear definition of it either, making things even more muddy.

The fact that humans came up with a fuzzy concept to mentally model real-life effects doesn't diminish the existence of those effects. Events occur independently of what names and categories we give them.

For example, hordes of Twitter users have self-selected who they follow until they're exposed to opinions that agree with their own. This is and has been happening out there, in the real world, to real people. Humans, being pattern recognizers, naturally think of this effect in terms of "bubbles" or "echo chambers." These are not defined in a strict mathematical sense, and they don't actually exist, but the phenomenon certainly does.

Since 2004, Chicago Police Department paid out $662 million [1] in police misconduct settlements.

Distinct indeed, they've got different names. If they're all called b1() then what? But you're hung up on "mutable" as a keyword. What is the semantics of b1(). The language could make them const semantics instead and so also provide a different keyword for 'non-const' maybe 'nonconst' would do if it really clashes with 'mutable' (I don't care if it is, I'm not proposing this to the committee as it's insane to be incompatible with existing code). When it was all just a twinkle in Bjarne's eye, he could have gone that way. Should have, say I.
