It just means that on a long enough timeline everyone's and everything's survival rate drops to zero. For NY it may be 50 years, may be 5000 years, may be 5B years.
There are also a few interesting interactions with that stored QI:

* QI can be retrieved from Posners (into neurons via neurotransmitters).

* QI can be teleported between Posners, while suffering noise.

* Quantum error detection can be solved with Posners.

* Most importantly, Posners can participate in quantum computation. "Posner operations can prepare a state that fuels universal measurement-based quantum computation."
I was accessing them on mobile earlier, so maybe that was the difference? I'm almost certain I did that.

Either way, the author posted the links, so I saw what jv22222 was talking about.
> Also how do autonomous vehicles handle jaywalkers? If they reliably stop then at least some people will just cross whenever they feel like it.

Stop for the pedestrians, but also photograph them and forward the images to law enforcement for convenient automatic fines.

Self-hosted analytics frameworks exist, but unfortunately aren't as popular because of the setup involved.
I do suggest disabling javascript globally and enabling it for certain sites.
I just wish there was more of a standard for for configuration files. Aren't all config files at some level going to be tree like structures? I know it is impossible for everyone to agree on one format, like yaml vs json, vs xml etc. but maybe there could be a common library and standard that could allow each application to load it's configuration from any of these types of files? That way if one organization or distro or whatever wanted to all use Yaml (for example) for all of their config, they could do that.
There is no reasonable argument that consumer ads for prescription medications should be allowed, and there are tons of reasonable arguments (including public health arguments) for why they should not be.

That they're allowed in the US at all is demonstration of caustic effects of high-dollar lobbying.
Genuine question from someone outside the US. I see lots of Americans object to the TSA but is it the agency or the function that people object to?

I only ever flew once pre-911 but I seem to recall a security process here in Europe not hugely different from today. What changed in the US with the introduction of the TSA?
Lifecycles of the long term (LTSB/LTSC) versions of Windows 10 and Server would be a good addition to the list.

I tried to think of a counterargument to this and drew an almost total blank. There have been some great works of art over say the last 20 years or so—"Breaking Bad," "The Sopranos," and the like—but it's almost completely trash. I can't name more than a half-dozen things I'd have missed if I had thrown out my television and deleted Facebook etc.
I've seen kids (and adults for that matter!) pretty much universally respond well to people who treat them with respect, and as an equal (in principle if not experience) partner in their growth process.

I agree that kids need help understanding the world. My point is that they will accept it (and even seek it) if they are respected and trusted.
You're not alone. The Math symbols are easy once you learn them (at least the subset I know), but it was challenging getting there.

My field has a lot of dense math that makes the pyramids look simple (ok I exaggerate, but there is a lot going on). The only way I've been able to really grok it is by writing software to do it. Now that I know what's going on, the math notation is useful in that it explains the problem in a succint way. I think Calculus via Python with nothing but the stdlib and Matplotlib would be a better way for me to learn to be honest.

Sentence 1 is untrue. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20034730 for an example.

Sentence 3 is also untrue. No advertising means people hear about much fewer brands, which means reduced competition, which means higher prices. This more or less balances out the cost of ads for the consumer.
I mean, why couldn't it?

let newvec = vec![fut1, fut2, fut3].map(Future::await).collect()

would be equivalent to

let f1 = fut1.await();
let f2 = fut2.await();
let f3 = fut3.await();
let newvec = vec![f1,f2,f3];

or

vec![fut1,fut2,fut3].map(|fut| fut.await).collect()
This brings up an interesting topic for discussion. I think there are several modes of parenting: hands off, protective, preparatory, etc. I think most parents try to balance these. I've taken the view that for most situations I want to prepare my children for the world they will face given what I know today, be hands off to see how they react, and only protect them as a last resort. While, some kids simply aren't ready to handle the problems they face on a daily basis, mine seem to understand more than you'd think they would. I could see how removing these stimuli from the beginning might be a good idea when you know it is going to be a problem or you want to create a peaceful environment, but I'd really prefer them to make that choice, not I.
Do you mean when you try to `splendid;` from a `what_about`?
Not really, because as a German I've been directly affected by said hypocrisy and even when it came to light [0], quite spectacularly too, nothing changed.

That's why I consider this current push of "China spying on everybody" quite cynical as it tries to sell a narrative where FiveEyes spying is the benevolent BigBrother only trying to protect us, but Chinese spying is evil incarnate.

At this point, Germany might as well just go full-on post-privacy and just share all data about everybody with everybody, instead of playing these pretend games of "We care about privacy, except when it's in the way of US national security interests", which is an extremely weird stance to have for any country that's not the US.

In Seattle we have and are currently expanding a system of "RapidRide" buses. These appear to have an average stop distance of around 0.3 miles (~500 meters)

Wikipedia claims that RapidRide routes have on average 40% fewer stops than the 'regular' line that they replaced, which would mean the 'regular' buses have stops about every 300 meters.

Anecdotally, I lived in London for a few years and now live in Seattle, and I would say these number's all roughly match my experience. Seattle's stops are spaced quite a bit further apart, but Seattle is also much less dense :)

I don't think the idea works from a theoretical perspective.

The browser is a communication channel between a publisher and a reader. They may want different things...

But the "semantic, well-formed, machine-readable web" idea is, in theory, a demand that the channel imposes on both parties. It's not something the publisher wants. It's not something the reader wants. Nobody cares what the channel wants; demanding extra information that isn't relevant to what any party to an actual transaction is trying to accomplish is always going to be doomed.

Readers care about positional information at a fairly minor level. Publishers care about it a lot. And hey, positional information has robust, if annoying, implementations.
It’s the agency. They make arbitrary rules and then they enforce different arbitrary rules. You can fly with the same luggage 100 times and get a different item banned every time.

For example, sometimes ice is ok, sometimes not. It’s supposed to always be ok, but even if you quote the rules ack at them, they pull out the “final determinations are at the discretion of the supervisor”. Which means you can never count on getting your stuff through.

Also they are terrible at their job (they fail over 90% of their tests) and they spend a ton of money. And all those new scanners they bought just happened to be made by a friend of George Bush.

Janitors can't do anything about graffiti. There's no graffiti in Japan like there is in America; it's a cultural difference. People there are trained from a very early age in school to not destroy or disfigure things needlessly. Americans aren't taught any such thing, because we think that parents should be the only ones to teach values, not schools.
The caching part is (mostly) generally fixable by making sure to always add your source code in two stages - dependency files first, then resolve dependencies, and the rest of the source code later.

Rarely is this done though. And definitely alpine+musl doesn't always do what you might expect, and it's often language dependent as to whether or not you'll encounter something strange (not to mention you forfeiting bash)

>I should be able to build my web app against an LTS version of the standard and expect it to behave identically in all future versions of all major browsers, until the EOL date of said version, no matter what changes they make in future versions.

That's already true of HTML5. Breaking changes in standardized features almost never happen. HTML5 actually goes further than what you suggest: they aim to never have breaking changes.
While I would agree that store-bought bread in the US contains far, far too much sugar (which is why I started baking bread myself in the first place), some amount of sugar is almost always required for leavened bread. The added sugar is what the yeast feeds on initially, since most flour won't provide enough easily-digestible sugars for the yeast. However, the amount of sugar required isn't much; my go-to recipie calls for 1 tablespoon of molasses for a 1.5lb loaf of rye/buckwheat loaf.

As to the length, for example the ingredient list of wonderbread from [0]:

unbleached enriched flour (wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin,
folic acid), water, high fructose corn syrup, yeast, contains 2% or less of each of the following: calcium carbonate,
soybean oil, wheat gluten, salt, dough conditioners (contains one or more of the following:
sodium stearoyl lactylate, calcium stearoyl lactylate, monoglycerides, mono- and diglycerides, azodicarbonamide,
enzymes, ascorbic acid), vinegar, monocalcium phosphate, yeast extract, modified corn starch, sucrose, sugar, soy lecithin,
cholecalciferol (vitamin d3), soy flour, ammonium sulfate, calcium sulfate, calcium propionate (to retard spoilage).

In order, the oil is for crumb texture and added fat, the salt is to regulate yeast growth, the gluten is to allow the crumb to hold together better (especially as most of the naturally-occuring gluten is removed from white flour). The dough conditioners are used to get the horrible texture that people expect from wonder-bread, as well as making it easy (read: extremely consistent) to bake at massive scale. The rest are preservatives & nutrient enricheners. The preservatives allow the bread to last long enough to make it to a supermarket; fresh-baked bread spoils extremely quickly.

As far as what is actually needed to make the white bread, for the white bread I bake on occasion all that is used is flour, sugar, gluten, oil, yeast and salt in order of volume. Note however that this bread will only last a few days; and ideally will be consumed the same day as baking.

Airport security in the US used to be privately contracted until 9/11. In the aftermath, TSA security replaced the private security at all but a handful of airports, and simultaneously tightened screening procedures. Over subsequent years, the airport security experience got significantly worse in terms of longer lines, privacy invasion, and more burdensome screening (although these changed at different time and in lumpy ways). Because of this history and the lack of alternatives, it's hard to tell how much of this is because the agency is dysfunctional and how much is an unavoidable aspect of increased security standards which are pretty widely supported by the general public (but not HN).
Is this the beginning of the end of SMTP?

It doesn't really make development harder, because the semantic tags are defined based on properties that aren't visible to a parser. So it doesn't matter whether you use them correctly -- no validator will be able to tell.
The video in the article is not representative. Solar sails were not in the final position and the satellites were not in their final (higher) orbit. It was also taken during the short time-window that the sun was still illuminating the satellites.

Regardless, we should be moving our telescopes to space. Much less interference of all kinds.
Structural Regular Expressions (1987)
Yes, and it does make code more difficult to read. I've looked at a fair amount of Python code, and it is very rare to see import * in the wild.

On the other hand, import * is nice to have in a repl.

It can’t. At best you can try to modify the hosts file to point localhost to somewhere bogus, but aside from the potential breakage that could cause, it won’t help against any site that simply accesses http://127.0.0.1 instead of http://localhost. In general, the hosts file can be useful for quick-and-dirty blocking, but it’s not really capable of enforcing a security barrier.

Edit: But there may be other ways to do it at an OS level, depending on your OS.
This assumes that applying edits is hard and expensive while finding what to edit is easy and can be done without multiyear tests. But the reality is exactly the opposite.

More likely outcome is that genetic editing companies will be paying poor people to be able to test effectiveness of therapies on their children, and instead of direct payments will use long term contracts taking percentage from the child's future income.

And if you think this business model is immoral and horrible, notice that this is the business model governments are meant to perform with taxes and social payments, they just fail miserably because of their monopoly.
This article is ridiculous.

> But what makes driving so magical is that it doesn’t require all of your brain, and the parts it doesn’t need are free to really enjoy other things. Things like conversations with whomever you’re riding with, listening to music, stories or podcasts and, perhaps most importantly, letting your mind wander into a sort of meditative state where you can really think about ideas or problems.

All of the above are distractions that increase risks to you and everyone else on the road. Over 30k people in the US alone die every year on the roads, we should be looking at this as a disaster. We should pursue self-driving technology with the fervor that we would toward winning a war that killed that number of people every year.
If I recall correctly the plane was built to stretch at high speeds, so the panels were designed to be loose, and the plane would leak a lot of fuel until it reached optimal speeds.
dogpile.cache author here.

The way dogpile does this is that your decorator is configured in terms of a cache region object, which you configure with backend and options at runtime.

Our disagreement shows the issue with correlation studies. People will interpret them to say whatever conclusion they wanted, reducing the scientific value to nil.

If the OP study found the opposite, it wouldn't have made it to the top of HN, and if it did, every comment would mock it for using correlation and would be pointing out other explanations.
Yes listicles are lists with added flair, and this is a list.
This times a million.

And for anyone who needs some bona fide examples of new standards and updates that are useful from the WHATWG specifications, well how about:

New semantic elements like header, footer, section, article, nav, aside, main, etc. These are far better for making logically structured pages than a ton of divs with class names would be.

The various new input types and attributes. Now you can have input fields which validate email addresses and phone numbers, present the right keyboard for the type of input you want, do various other validation checks or even provide things like a nifty date picker without JavaScript.

Picture and srcset too. No more having to load giant images on mobile devices or have blurry ones on devices with retina support, you can choose which image displays on which type of device.

The preload attribute and what not. Being able to load content the user will likely need in the background is helpful.

The built in video and audio elements, obviously. Again, object was a terrible solution for this, which was unsemantic, was awkward to use and struggled in certain browsers. These elements don't.

The canvas tag and things you can do with it.

And this will be a controversial one, but... most of the old elements that were made official by 'paving the cowpaths' were nice to see added too. The whole fiasco involving embed/object in the old days and how supporting multiple browsers meant invalid HTML was a bit of a farce really, especially as neither were particularly 'semantic' to begin with. Seeing them both made official and better alternatives provided just puts a lifelong issue at rest.
The pliocene era had thriving primate populations, in addition to many other species. Eocene is much older but there was thriving life then, too. The idea that people would need to live in domes is preposterous, if it even occurs so rapidly, which is extremely unlikely.

> Similarly, an ideal situation for advertising is to read each person's mind, determine exactly what products they are looking for but aren't yet aware of, and make them aware.

If marketers had that power, that's not how they'd use it. Instead, what they'd do is deploy a powerful analytic system to determine what your touch points are, in order to learn how to more effectively manipulate you to make you want whatever it is they happen to be selling.

Or, to use currently fashionable marketer-speak, they'd use it to move you through the funnel more efficiently.
Given that a large number of people reported them as UFOs, it seems likely that they're fairly visible.

There is no clear dividing line because lifestyle enhancement isn't imaginary. If you brush your teeth, dress well etc, it actually does improve your sex appeal. So does being able to signal a good income by having certain goods, like a nice car.

Homeless men (granted, an extreme example) aren't seeing a lot of action. From what I gather, not owning a car as a man in the US is a serious barrier to having a romantic life. Etc.

Sure, some things are pretty ridiculous. But lifestyle enhancements that impact your love life are not simply imaginary. They can be quite real and tangible.

That's part of why it is tricky. If studies show owning a nice car helps a man's love life, is it outright lying to imply the connection by having some gorgeous woman lay across the hood of the car you are promoting?

That connection is not purely made up, though it may well be an exaggeration in some sense.
